"It's bad, Patriarch, there's a formation, we can't escape!"
The Great Elder, Liu Han, had only taken a few steps when he was blocked by a transparent light screen.
"What? A formation master is also involved?"
Liu Feng was also confused upon hearing about the formation blocking their path.
It seemed these people had come fully prepared!
This matter today would likely not end well!
"Hmm? Patriarch, that person over there, do you think… he looks a bit familiar?"
However, just as Liu Feng was about to despair, Liu Han pointed at a cultivator in the distance and spoke to Liu Feng.
Upon hearing Liu Han's words, Liu Feng quickly turned his head to look and saw Lin Chen, who was assisting Zhang Ying in maintaining the formation.
"Lin Chen! Daoist Lin, save us!"
Seeing it was Lin Chen, Liu Feng immediately felt like he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw and quickly called out for help.
He knew that Lin Chen had previously absorbed the entire He family, precisely because Lin Chen had a master at the Half-step Nascent Soul realm backing him.
Now, they were being misunderstood by the Blazing Fire Sect, leading to them being hunted. If Lin Chen were willing to step forward and speak for them, with the face of Lin Chen's master, the Blazing Fire Sect would surely show some consideration, wouldn't they?
"Patriarch Liu, I apologize. You killed my future sister-in-law. This matter is not something I can interfere with!"
Upon hearing Liu Feng's plea for help, Lin Chen directly refused.
Although he was framing the Liu family today, the Liu family had long since harbored deep hatred for him. If he didn't make a move first, given the personalities of Liu Huaiyu and the others, they would certainly not let him off.
Now that the die was cast, it was the perfect time to completely eliminate this hidden danger!
"Future sister-in-law? What do you mean?"
Wu Zhixiong, standing nearby, became somewhat curious upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
He didn't know this person at all. How could the other party call his son a 'brother-in-law'?
"Oh? Sect Master Wu, when Young Master Wu left the Sun family, he repeatedly said he wanted to marry my sister."
"Everyone present at the time can testify. Is it wrong for me to address him as such?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly and explained to Wu Zhixiong.
"Your sister, is it her?"
Wu Zhixiong pointed at Zhang Ying, who was maintaining the formation.
Before, when Wu Tie left the Sun family, he had indeed called him, saying that a formation master had come to the Sun family, and she was beautiful and had a good figure.
But he knew his son's character very well. Such talk was usually just bravado.
Over the years, Wu Tie had changed countless girlfriends, and he always discarded them once he got tired of them.
However, since things had come to this point, it was better to build a good relationship with this formation master named Zhang Ying. Perhaps she would be useful in the future.
"That's right. What? Did Young Master Wu not mention it to you?"
Lin Chen nodded and asked Wu Zhixiong in return.
"Of course, he mentioned it. He even said he wanted me to personally come to the Sun family to propose. Alas!"
Wu Zhixiong immediately sighed, appearing regretful.
"Little brother, rest assured, although my son is dead, my Blazing Fire Sect still has many talented young men from whom your sister can choose freely."
"From now on, our Blazing Fire Sect will forever be your and your sister's family!"
Wu Zhixiong narrowed his eyes and stated affirmatively.
Since Wu Tie was dead and the deceased could not be brought back to life, recruiting a formation master was still very necessary.
"Good, I, Lin Chen, thank Sect Master Wu for your kindness!"
Seeing that his plan had worked, Lin Chen smiled slightly and cupped his fists towards Wu Zhixiong.
"Oh? You are Lin Chen? A second-grade alchemist?"
However, upon hearing Lin Chen's name, Wu Zhixiong's eyes widened, filled with surprise.
He had informants in the Sun family, so he naturally knew that a very young formation master had visited the Sun family today and had even angered Zhou Qianyuan, a second-grade alchemist from Beichuan.
He hadn't expected that this alchemist and formation master would be from the same lineage!
"What? Did Young Master Wu also mention me to you?"
Lin Chen feigned confusion and asked Wu Zhixiong.
"Hehehe, of course, he mentioned you."
"Young Master Lin, why don't we deal with these Liu family members first, and then discuss other matters?"
Upon learning that the other party was Lin Chen, Wu Zhixiong quickly calmed his heart.
Talent was definitely the most important thing for the Blazing Fire Sect's development now.
But avenging his son was equally important!
"Young Master Lin! We truly did not kill Young Master Wu. We are innocent! Please, speak for us!"
Seeing Lin Chen and Wu Zhixiong getting along so well, Liu Feng became anxious and shouted.
"It was our Liu family's fault before. As long as you are willing to plead for our Liu family, our Liu family is willing to pledge allegiance to you from now on!"
Liu Feng gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, making a promise to Lin Chen.
"Alas, Patriarch Liu, I apologize. I will not interfere in this matter."
"Sect Master Wu, please proceed as you see fit."
Hearing Liu Feng's plea for mercy, Lin Chen sighed and took a few steps back.
He no longer dared to believe the Liu family's promises.
If it weren't for his master protecting him before, how could he still be alive now?
"Bastard, Lin Chen! My Liu family will be irreconcilable with you!"
"Wu Zhixiong, do you really think my Liu Huaiyu fears your Blazing Fire Sect?"
Seeing that Lin Chen was unwilling to say a single good word, Liu Huaiyu, who had been silent all along, became enraged.
"Wu Zhixiong, I'm telling you, I have now entered the Pill Spirit Sect. If you dare to kill me, you will be enemies with the entire Pill Spirit Sect. You should consider carefully!"
As he spoke, Liu Huaiyu took out a golden token and raised it.
On the token, a shining golden pill imprint was very eye-catching.
"Pill Spirit Sect?"
Seeing the token in Liu Huaiyu's hand, Wu Zhixiong's brows furrowed involuntarily.
No wonder he dared to set his sights on his son. It turned out he had the Pill Spirit Sect as his backing!
"Bastard, do you really think you can be reckless just because you have the Pill Spirit Sect as your backing?"
"My son's life!"
Wu Zhixiong stomped his foot and immediately rushed towards Liu Huaiyu.
The Pill Spirit Sect was one of the behemoths in the Dragon Country's cultivation world, but now, his father was a legitimate Half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Pill Spirit Sect would certainly not offend a Half-step Nascent Soul realm expert for an ordinary disciple!
"Kill them all! If the Pill Spirit Sect holds us accountable, I, Wu Zhixiong, will bear the responsibility!"
Wu Zhixiong struck first, sending Liu Feng flying with a sword.
However, Lin Chen noticed that although Wu Zhixiong appeared imposing, he had no intention of attacking Liu Huaiyu.
It was clear that he was now using a knife to kill!
"Hahaha! Wu Zhixiong, you don't dare to kill me, you don't dare to kill me!"
Liu Huaiyu naturally noticed this as well and burst into laughter.
This Wu Zhixiong, despite his words, was acting quite honestly.
