"Knock, knock, knock!" A knock echoed.
"Who is it?" Lin Hao asked with a frown.
"Patriarch! It's bad, Chu Chen has led many guards and blocked the main gate, vowing to cripple you and telling us to retreat quickly!" A gatekeeper reported anxiously.
"Heh, they've come fast!" Lin Hao calmly put on his clothes, put on a silver mask, and then strode out.
At the main gate, Chu Chen, leading a troop, stared menacingly at the Lin family mansion, a fierce aura surging in the depths of his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lin, you bastard, get out here and die! You've humiliated me repeatedly, and I'm going to kill you."
"Bang!" Kicking open the door, Chu Chen rushed in, roaring, "Lin Zhentian, get out here!"
"Whoosh!" Lin Hao suddenly turned, took off his mask, revealing his handsome and elegant face, and said lightly, "Do you need something from me?"
"Holy cow! Lin Hao... how could it be you?" Chu Chen's eyes widened, and he almost collapsed to the ground in fright.
"Heh, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid I'll kill you?" Lin Hao sneered.
"Uh..." Chu Chen gave an awkward smile and said, forcing himself, "You are the young master of the Lin family, why are you here?"
"Because this is my home!" Lin Hao replied casually.
"This..." Chu Chen was dumbfounded.
This was clearly the Qin King's mansion, how did it become the Lin family's?
Not only him, but everyone else was even more confused.
Only Zhao Yunhai vaguely guessed something and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Lin Hao, secretly praying that Lin Hao could escape safely.
After all, this was the Qin King's mansion, and it was Lin Zhentian's residence. Lin Hao coming alone was equivalent to a lamb entering a tiger's den.
Zhao Yunhai knew very well that Lin Zhentian was the loyal dog of the Qin King's heir. Chu Chen's arrogance and provocation would surely incur Lin Zhentian's wrath.
As expected, when Chu Chen rushed into the main hall, he ran into Lin Zhentian, whose face was ashen.
"Chu Feng, you are too arrogant, simply lawless and contemptuous of the imperial court!" Lin Zhentian pointed at Chu Chen and cursed, "You dare to trespass into the Prince's mansion, what crime do you deserve?"
"Lin Zhentian, don't slander me. You clearly invited me to the Prince's mansion for a banquet, and now you are framing me?" Chu Chen said righteously.
"You scoundrel! You dare to frame me!" Lin Zhentian was furious and slapped him. With a crisp sound.
"You... why did you hit me!" Chu Chen covered his cheek and roared angrily, furious!
They had just met, and Lin Zhentian had already attacked him, completely disregarding him, Chu Feng!
"I hit whoever I want!" Lin Zhentian said domineeringly, "You scoundrel dared to assassinate me, and you still want to quibble?"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhentian stepped on Chu Chen's chest and said fiercely, "I hate it most when people threaten me. You won't leave the Qin King's mansion alive today!"
"Guards, capture him!" Lin Zhentian said coldly.
"Hmph, Lin Zhentian, you are too much!" Chu Chen snorted and instantly unleashed his powerful cultivation.
Lin Zhentian's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "All Lin family members, obey my command, kill the traitor! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
As soon as the words fell, an extremely terrifying killing intent erupted, sweeping across thousands of meters, flooding the entire mansion like a tide.
The Lin family members shouted and rushed towards Chu Chen like locusts, their killing intent fierce and their ferocity unparalleled.
Swords clashed, blood splattered, and the Chu family members charged fearlessly, killing dozens of enemy soldiers in an instant.
Lin Zhentian's face grew darker, his eyes filled with shock and horror, "So many martial masters, how is this possible?"
"Kill!" The Chu family members went mad, slaughtering the Lin family guards, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of guards lay dead, their bodies piled up like mountains, a shocking sight.
Lin Zhentian's face contorted, his body trembled, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth, "The Lin family is finished... completely finished!"
"Father..." Lin Hao looked at the scene with a complex expression. He knew that the Chu family would eventually deal with the Lin family.
He just didn't expect it to happen so soon!
"Rumble!" With a loud bang, the Lin family mansion was breached, and countless soldiers rushed in, surrounding Lin Zhentian.
"Hahaha... Lin Zhentian, your end has come!" Chu Chen laughed wildly, standing arrogantly on the city wall.
"Chu Chen, I will kill you!" Lin Zhentian roared in fury, charging at Chu Chen with murderous intent, wishing he could devour Chu Chen alive.
"Hmph!" He snorted, drew his spear, and swept it across, forcing the attacking Lin Zhentian back.
Chu Chen leaped up, his right arm muscles bulging, and swung his battle spear, knocking Lin Zhentian back more than ten feet, smashing into a house, and kicking up dust.
"Chu Zhentian, today I will make you pay for your blood debt!" Chu Chen's eyes flashed with cold light.
"Pfft..." Suddenly, Chu Chen thrust his spear into Lin Zhentian's chest. Blood stained his robes, and the intense pain contorted Lin Zhentian's face, making him writhe on the ground in agony.
"Chu Zhentian!" Chu Chen grinned, his eyes filled with madness.
He didn't really want to kill Lin Zhentian, but this act was enough to deter everyone in the Lin family.
Lin Zhentian was the Qin King's heir's loyal dog. If he died, the Qin King's heir would definitely hold a grudge against the Chu family, and then the entire Chu family would suffer.
"Chu Zhentian! I'll fight you to the death!" Lin Zhentian roared, struggled free from Chu Chen's spear, leaped up, performed a martial skill, and struck Chu Chen's head with a ruthless punch.
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, fearless, stepped forward, clasped his hands into claws, and grabbed Lin Zhentian's neck.
His fingers dug into his neck, blood gushed out, a gruesome sight.
"Cough... let go!" Lin Zhentian's face turned red, his legs flailed like a fish's, swinging left and right.
"You want to kill me? Dream on!" Chu Chen sneered and tightened his grip.
Chu Chen's face contorted, and he threw Lin Zhentian off the city wall, then grabbed Lin Hao's shoulder.
He lifted him up and said with a sinister smile, "Did you think you could escape the Qin King's mansion and I wouldn't be able to do anything to you?"
Lin Hao's face was pale and bloodless, feeling like a fish on a chopping block, completely unable to resist.
"Chu Chen, what exactly do you want?" Lin Hao couldn't help but ask.
"I've already made an enemy of the Qin King's heir, and he will never let this go. Sooner or later, he will kill me!"
Chu Chen said coldly, "Instead of waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative and strike first, making you and your father repent for the mistakes you made back then!"
Lin Hao's face turned pale, "You want to use me?"
"That's right, I need you to do something for me!" Chu Chen stared at Lin Hao, his expression cold and ruthless, "In three days, you will take all the assets of the Lin family to the palace and present them to the Qin King's heir."
