Chapter 1492 - 1491: Forced Withdrawal

Chapter 1492: Chapter 1491: Forced Withdrawal

He knew long ago that Ling Chen had come to Yingzhou, and during this time, he was even more aware that Ling Chen had gained a formidable reputation in Yingzhou. He could almost constantly hear people discussing Ling Chen, a name that has undoubtedly become the most popular name in all of Yingzhou recently.

But he never expected that Ling Chen would also come to Sky Guardian City and appear here so coincidentally.

"What, Ling Chen?"

Upon hearing this name, Ju Mingyuan, who was about to explode, suddenly changed his expression as if he had heard something extremely terrifying. His gaze towards Ling Chen immediately changed.

This name definitely has no equal in Yingzhou.

"How could this person appear here?"

Ju Mingyuan’s eyes flickered, and of course he knew who Ling Chen was. This name was the person the Family Head of the Ju Family had repeatedly cautioned him not to provoke. Izumo Shrine was destroyed because of Ling Chen, and the Clan Leader of the Fengmo Clan was killed by Ling Chen, leading to internal chaos. These two forces were equal in strength to the Ju Family, and such a demonic figure actually encountered him?

However, looking at Ling Chen’s ordinary appearance in front of him, no matter what, he doesn’t resemble the supernatural and death-like terrifying creature in the stories, does he?

He was very skeptical that this young man in front of him possessed the ability to kill the Green-faced Ghost and Fengmo Tianchuan.

"Haha, almost got fooled by this wild kid, Ling Chen is probably still on San Chuan Island, how could he appear here trying to trick me."

His eyes flickered for a moment, Ju Mingyuan suddenly laughed, glanced at Peerless Sword, and then looked at Ling Chen, with a face full of pride, as if he had seen through some incredible plot, "Moreover, who is Ling Chen? Why would he oppose my Ju Family for a wild kid like you?"

"Third Uncle, he is indeed Ling Chen."

At this moment, a slightly bitter female voice suddenly came over, it was Ju Mingxiang speaking.

"What did you say?"

Ju Mingyuan showed a look of horror.

"I saw him in Sword Prison."

Ju Mingxiang shook her head, "I have a deep impression of him, he is indeed Ling Chen, and beside him is Liu Sheng Hongye from the Liu Sheng Family."

Upon hearing these words, Ju Mingyuan seemed to be struck by lightning, as if frightened, his gaze looked at Ling Chen opposite with intense fear, a sense of unease rippled through his mind.

"Your Excellency, you just said you want me to kneel and apologize?"

Ling Chen raised an eyebrow, revealing a faintly smiling expression.

"Just joking, Your Excellency, no need to take it seriously."

Ju Mingyuan forced out a smile, the other party had overturned Izumo Shrine and the Fengmo Clan. Even high-level experts like Shang Quan Yi Xin and Fengmo Tianchuan perished under Ling Chen’s hands; given this, what is he to dare make Ling Chen kneel and apologize?

Even their Ju Family Head would probably treat Ling Chen like a plague, let alone him.

"Just a joke, then if we kill you now, can we also say it’s a joke?"

Hongye laughed coldly.

"Well..."

The strong men of the Ju Family all changed their faces, then each bent to apologize to Ling Chen, respectfully saying, "Lord Ling Chen, ignorance is no excuse, we were reckless just now and it was wrong of us. We hope you, with great magnanimity, treat it as nothing but passing wind."

"It’s not that I can’t let it go."

Ling Chen’s lips curved into a smile, then he slowly raised his finger, pointing at Peerless Sword, "Leave this person behind, and you can all leave."

Upon hearing this, Ju Mingyuan’s expression suddenly darkened, "This is an internal affair of my Ju Family, why does Your Excellency want to intervene?"

"I don’t care about how your Ju Family usually acts, but this person, your Ju Family cannot touch."

Ling Chen said indifferently.

"Damn it."

Ju Mingyuan turned livid hearing Ling Chen’s arrogant tone. If someone dared speak to him like this normally, he would have cut them down with a sword long ago. However, the one speaking now is Ling Chen, the death god-like figure that he profoundly fears.

"After all, this is the territory of my Ju Family. Isn’t Your Excellency acting too domineeringly?"

A Ju Family strong man said indignantly.

"I am indeed domineering, what can you do?"

Ling Chen’s lips curved into a slight smile, "If the matter can be resolved verbally, that’s good—but if it requires action, I shall comply."

As soon as the words fell, a brilliant light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. An intense Sword Intent suddenly released from his body, instantly filling the Void with murderous presence. Centered around Ling Chen, the entire Void darkened, and a terrifying storm formed, sweeping towards Ju Mingyuan and his group.

Like a torrential storm, the Sword Intent storm enveloped the Ju Family people within it. The intense gale blew so hard they could barely keep their eyes open, and even their bodies seemed ready to be swept away.

Desperately activating True Qi to resist the storm, Ju Mingyuan’s heart was already in tumultuous chaos, terrified. Although he heard that Ling Chen was very powerful, he didn’t expect Ling Chen’s power to be this terrifying--with just his Sword Intent, creating such a fearsome Sword Intent storm. If the opponent drew his sword, couldn’t he kill everyone here in an instant?

Wise men know better than to risk a current peril. If Ling Chen truly got angry and killed them, the Ju Family couldn’t do anything against Ling Chen and would just have to swallow the insult.

After the storm ceased, Ju Mingyuan immediately waved to the Ju Family warriors behind him, signaling a retreat, but before leaving, he coldly glanced at Peerless Sword, saying solemnly, "Kid, this time for Lord Ling Chen’s sake, I will let you go, but next time if you dare show up within my Ju Family’s territory, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

"Let’s go!"

After warning Peerless Sword, Ju Mingyuan left the square with his Ju Family people.

Seeing the Ju Family leave, Peerless Sword finally heaved a sigh of relief, violently coughing before taking out a healing pill and swallowing it, circulating True Qi to mend his internal injuries.

"Thank you, I owe you one."

After consuming the healing pill, Peerless Sword looked at Ling Chen, cupping his hands to thank him. He once thought he was doomed, never expecting to be saved in the end. Among those who can make the Ju Family retreat without a fight, there weren’t many in Yingzhou, but Ling Chen happened to be one of them.

He and Ling Chen were old opponents, but had little interaction; Ling Chen’s action to save him showed he was a person who remembers past acquaintances.
