Chapter 693: Chapter 693: A Sensation in Jiangbei Chapter 693: Chapter 693: A Sensation in Jiangbei “There’s no need to tell my dad about this; I can make the decision myself!”
“Today, Chen Yingxue, I, Murong Feng, have guaranteed your safety!”
After he spoke, he strode towards Chen Yingxue like a dragon and tiger.
Chen Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was saved at last. With Murong Feng, a three-star Divine General of the War Department, present, she believed Lin Dong wouldn’t dare to touch her.
However, at that moment, Lin Dong sneered:
“Who permitted you to take her away?”
“Boom!!”
As soon as the words fell, Lin Dong made his move directly.
A terrifying breath weighed upon Murong’s shoulders, rendering him unable to move.
“You? You dare to lay a hand on me? I am a three-star Divine General of the War Department… Ah…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Dong had already taken action.
Today, nobody could save Chen Yingxue.
Not to mention Murong Feng, even if his father, Murong Qingyun, came, it would be the same.
Lin Dong’s right hand turned into a palm blade and chopped down onto Murong Feng’s right arm.
“Swoosh!”
Murong Feng’s right arm was severed at the root by Lin Dong!
He let out a scream, his face showing both pain and shock.
“Lin Dong, you… you actually chopped off one of my arms!”
“I told you, you can’t save her,” Lin Dong responded coldly. “If not for the sake of your father, the King of Jiangbei, you would already be dead.”
Having said this, he punched Murong Feng out of the hotel.
At that time, Chen Yingxue, who had initially seen hope, became completely desperate.
The dozen or so vagrants could not wait any longer.
Earlier, Chen Yingxue had fed them a sow’s aphrodisiac, and now they were eager for a woman to comfort them.
They took Chen Yingxue into the hotel room she had prepared.
Shortly after, the room was filled with the sounds of Chen Yingxue’s screams.
Everyone fell silent.
They knew that after today, Chen Yingxue was utterly ruined.
They all looked at the man before them, who was like a demon, with trepidation in their hearts.
At that time, Lin Dong approached Chen Xi and spoke softly, “Little sister, come with your brother. With me around, no one will dare to bully you again.”
Tears fell from Chen Xi’s eyes like pearls off a string, but this time, it was not because of discomfort and pain.
It was because of pure joy.
She wept with happiness!
She, Chen Xi, finally had relatives.
Finally, someone was there to protect her.
For the first time in her life, she understood what safety felt like.
She nodded vigorously and called out, “Brother.”
That “Brother” also moistened Lin Dong’s eyes.
He took Chen Xi by the hand and led her away.
After they left, the crowd remained dazed for a long time.
It wasn’t until five minutes later that people started to discuss among themselves.
“This Master Lin from Nanjing is too ruthless. He didn’t kill Chen Yingxue, but he destroyed her beauty, and allowed a group of vagrants to desecrate her. For Chen Yingxue, this is worse than death!”
“The things Chen Yingxue cared about the most were her appearance and prestige, both of which have been trampled upon by Master Lin.”
“He’s inducing Chen Yingxue to live a life worse than death; isn’t he afraid of the Chen Clan of Jiangbei?”
“Even though he is powerful, the Chen Clan of Jiangbei is a massive presence in Jiangbei. Who in the entire Jiangbei doesn’t bow to them? Master Lin making an enemy of the Chen Clan of Jiangbei means making an enemy of the whole Jiangbei!”
“He also killed Xia Xinghen from the Four Great Families in Jiangbei and severed the arm of Murong Feng, the son of the King of Jiangbei. Neither the Xia family nor the King of Jiangbei will let this go easily, right?”
“…”
News of Master Lin of Nanjing’s arrival in Jiangbei spread quickly because of this incident.
In Jiangbei today, almost everyone was talking about this event.
Meanwhile, at the Chen Clan of Jiangbei.
At that moment, in Chen Family Village.
Although called a village, it was actually in the city center.
The Chen family bought land directly in the city center and built a village on it.
The village was constructed like an ancient garden.
Surrounding the village, like a university campus, tall walls several meters high were built. There were four main gates: east, west, south, and north.
At each gate, Wushu Experts were stationed as guardians, ensuring the safety of Chen Family Village.
The residents of Chen Family Village were of various kinds.
The most central area naturally housed the direct line of the Chen family, such as Chen Beiming’s three sons and daughter, as well as their families.
In the secondary area lived the side branches and relatives of the Chen family.
The third area was home to some of the Chen family’s retainers and servants, and so on.
The entire area covered five thousand acres, akin to a super-large university campus.
In the prime area of Jiangbei City, where land was incredibly valuable, what did five thousand acres represent?
The value was well over several billion!
Now, inside the main Chen family mansion at the core of Chen Family Village.
The members of the Chen family had also received the news about Chen Yingxue.
Currently sitting in the main seat was Chen Beiming’s eldest son, Chen Yingzheng, who was the spokesperson for the entire Chen family during Chen Beiming’s retreat.
He possessed the strength of a Peak Energy Conversion Grandmaster and was the President of Jiangbei Province Martial Arts Association, as well as one of the three great Sect Masters of Jiangbei Province, alongside the President of the Martial Arbiters, Xia Jiuling, and the King of Jiangbei War Department, Murong Qingyun. He was also a figure who could rank in the Dragon Rankings.
Of course, compared to his father being sixth in the Dragon Rankings, his own position was relatively further back. However, his strength was not to be underestimated.
Below him sat several people.
Two of them were Chen Beiming’s second son, the controller of the biggest financial consortium in Jiangbei Province, Chen Yingcai.
And another, second only to the King of Jiangbei in the War Department – the deputy commander of Jiangbei, Chen Yingwu.
Besides them, there were a few Peak level Energy Conversion Grandmasters who were retainers to the Chen family.
And also several elders of the Chen family.
In the room, no one had a strength below that of an Energy Conversion Grandmaster.
At that moment, Chen Yingzheng, holding a cup of tea with an iron blue face, said lightly:
“I’ve called everyone together today to discuss the matter concerning Master Chen of Nanjing!”
“And also, whether we should still hold our annual meeting on the eighth day!”
