988 An Evil Guest Arrives at the Door to Forcibly Take in a Disciple
Tianhe was an ordinary city in the Holy Land. It was different from the modern steel walls of the Federation. It was made of countless bricks and stones, but its city walls were much taller than the feudal era that Chu Yunfan knew. It was more than thirty meters tall.
On the city walls, there were fluctuations of a barrier spell. Everyone could feel that the defensive power of this city wall was extraordinary. It was not inferior to the city walls of modern Federation cities. These were two very clearly different paths.
The group hurried and finally entered Tianhe before the sky turned dark. It was the first time Chu Yunfan had seen such an ancient city, so he was curious about it.
Along the way, he learned from Lin Haoren and the others that Tianhe was considered a medium-sized city in the Holy Land that boosted millions of citizens.
At night, Tianhe was still very lively, just like a city that never slept.
Chu Yunfan followed the caravan straight through the city and arrived at the city lord’s mansion in the center of the city. The mansion looked magnificent. With its carved beams and painted pillars, it looked very stylish.
“Mr. Chu, we’ve prepared a room for you. Please follow me,” Uncle Lin said as soon as they entered the house. “You must be tired from the journey. Please rest for the night. The city lord will meet you tomorrow!”
Before the convoy returned, a guard had already hurried ahead to report the situation, so everything had been properly arranged.
“All right.”
Chu Yunfan didn’t mind. The most important thing now was to recover his strength as soon as possible. Although ordinary Divines were no match for him after he recovered to the Divine Abilities Stage, it wasn’t too safe until he returned to his peak state.
Under Uncle Lin’s guidance, Chu Yunfan went to a room to rest, while Lin Haoren and Lin Chenxi went straight to see the lord of Tianhe, Lin Hongfeng.
Lin Hongfeng was a middle-aged man with a dignified expression. His facial features were somewhat similar to Lin Haoren and Lin Chenxi.
“What’s wrong with you two?”
Upon seeing his two children, Lin Hongfeng immediately frowned and started scolding them.
“This is outrageous. How can you just take him as your master? Have you guys figured out Mr. Chu’s identity? Why didn’t you stop your sister’s nonsense?!” Lin Hongfeng rebuked.
When he received the guard’s report, he felt that it was completely preposterous. What kind of joke was this? With his daughter’s status, how could she casually find someone of unknown origin to be her master?
Acknowledging a master wasn’t a big deal, but having a master and truly acknowledging a master were very different.
“Father, this Mr. Chu isn’t as simple as he looks.”
Lin Haoren immediately proceeded to tell Lin Hongfeng about what happened today.
Lin Hongfeng’s expression became solemn. It was a miracle that Chu Yunfan had repelled a medium-sized monster swarm on his own.
He was glad that Chu Yunfan had been there. Otherwise, he might have lost his daughter.
“That’s why I think Mr. Chu might already be a Divine. At the very least, at his age, it’s only a matter of time before he reaches the Divine Abilities Stage.” Lin Haoren concluded.
Lin Hongfeng silently looked at Lin Haoren with a hint of relief in his eyes. His son had finally grown up and wasn’t acting on impulse.
“Now that the Fluttering Blooms have been destroyed, they’re unable to provide shelter for our city. If we can rope in such an expert, it will be beneficial for our clan to stabilize our rule in Tianhe.”
After Lin Haoren finished speaking, he looked at Lin Hongfeng.
“Go rest for the night. I will meet with this Mr. Chu tomorrow.”
The night was silent. The moon fell and the sun rose.
Chu Yunfan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes. After a night of recovery, he had recovered a lot, and he had successfully recovered his cultivation to tier two of the Divine Abilities Stage.
At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for him to recover to tier four.
As expected, after recovering to the Divine Abilities Stage, his speed of recovery had sped up. It only took a few days.
At the same time, in the guest hall of the city lord’s mansion, the city lord’s family—Lin Hongfeng, Lin Haoren, and Lin Chenxi—were sitting in their seats, but their faces were filled with anger.
Opposite them was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. The young man had a frivolous look on his face and the way he looked at Lin Chenxi was filled with greed.
Behind him, there were three young men who looked to be in their late twenties. Like the young man, these people had a frivolous look on their faces and even a hint of lust.
“I’ve long heard that you have a beautiful daughter, Lord Lin. Now that I’ve seen her, she really lives up to her reputation,” the young man said.
“What do you say, Lord Lin? Have you made your decision? My master is a man of character. He’s willing to accept your daughter as a disciple. What a great honor that would be.” The young man sneered and looked at Lin Hongfeng.
“We appreciate your kindness but there’s no need for that,” Lin Hongfeng said while suppressing the anger in his heart.
“Lord Lin, you shouldn’t turn down this golden opportunity. Do you think you’re still the same as before? The Fluttering Blooms has long been destroyed. Who will protect you now? The Great Joy Sect is willing to give you a chance. Why don’t you know how to cherish it?” the young man said nonchalantly.
“Jin Feng, do you think we don’t know the background of your sect? You say you’re taking in disciples, but those women you’ve taken, which one of them wasn’t used as human specimens and tortured to death?!”
Lin Haoren finally couldn’t help but shout.
“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Jin Feng sneered and moved as quickly as lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was about to slap Lin Haoren.
Lin Haoren was shocked. This Jin Feng didn’t look like much, but his cultivation was at the peak of the Innate Stage—not inferior to his family’s Uncle Lin.
“Impudence!” Lin Hongfeng shouted and made a move. He threw a punch.
Bam!
They collided head-on. The fist and palm collided, and a loud boom like the collision of giant cannons erupted.
Thud, thud, thud!
Both of them retreated. Jin Feng took three steps back while Lin Hongfeng took five steps back.
Lin Hongfeng had blocked Jin Feng’s slap, but he couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes. Although he had been the city lord for many years, he had never stopped cultivating. And now, he had finally reached the peak of the Innate Stage.
This Jin Feng, on the other hand, looked like he was in his twenties. At most, he was in his thirties, but he had also reached the peak of the Innate Stage. His martial power was even stronger than Lin Hongfeng’s.
This was the power of disciples from large sects.
“You’re overestimating yourself.”
Jin Feng steadied himself, and with an even more astonishing speed, he threw a punch at Lin Haoren.
Bam!
Lin Haoren was caught off guard and was hit head-on. He hit the wall and spat out a mouthful of blood.
