Chapter 2451 - 2452: Midnight Assault

Chapter 2451: Chapter 2452: Midnight Assault

The decision made by Zhou Lie received everyone’s support, so by midnight, all the disciples of the Qinglan Sect set out together.

Little Ying stayed alone in her room at night, turned off the lights, and lay down on her bed, ready to sleep.

Suddenly, she heard an eerie noise coming from outside. After all, the girl was timid, so she sat up.

Little Ying sat on the bed unable to fall asleep. At first, the sound was subtle, but after a while, it grew louder, making her tremble with fear.

At that moment, she suddenly heard someone knocking on her door, which made her curious.

Little Ying didn’t know who was knocking outside, so she asked tentatively, still careful and probing.

"May I ask who’s knocking outside?" Little Ying asked curiously.

There was still no response, only the knocking continued. After a while, a familiar voice came from outside.

"It’s me, Little Ying!"

Upon hearing this voice, Little Ying breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that it was Lin Chen.

"Oh, it’s Brother Lin Chen! I wondered who it could be. Why were you just knocking without speaking earlier?"

As she said this, she walked toward the front door and opened it.

But the moment she opened the door, she suddenly realized she had formed an illusion—it wasn’t Brother Lin Chen at all.

Someone had impersonated his voice.

Standing in front of her was a burly man, strong and robust, holding a large knife in his hand, his facial expression particularly fierce and terrifying.

Upon seeing this scene, she trembled slightly, ready to call for help loudly, when she suddenly noticed the man had placed his knife against her neck.

"I’m telling you to behave and stop babbling here; if you dare make a sound, don’t blame me for being unkind."

Little Ying, although possessing some cultivation, found herself outnumbered and in a passive position, so she had to comply and ensure her safety first.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you, just don’t hurt me."

Little Ying’s body inevitably trembled slightly, feeling somewhat terrified and fearful, as this group seemed capable of any misdeed and might truly harm her.

"Well then, that’s good, come with us."

After saying this, the group of men dragged the little girl away from the place, while a few others placed a note on the table inside the room.

Lin Chen got up in the morning and found Little Ying’s door still tightly shut, making him curious.

"Strange how the little girl hasn’t gotten up by this time today; she usually gets up by now."

Lin Chen knew Little Ying’s daily habits well; she was always the earliest to rise in the morning.

With the sun high in the sky, it was unusual for her not to be up yet, so he went to Little Ying’s door and knocked.

Despite knocking for some time, he heard no response from inside the room and called twice more, still met with silence.

What’s going on here?

Despite the gender difference, he couldn’t concern himself with such matters now, so he kicked the door open. As he entered the room, he swallowed hard, appearing particularly curious.

Little Ying’s room was empty, with no one knowing where she had gone.

Lin Chen tightly clenched his hands, feeling somewhat tense, and noticed a note on the table.

"If you want to save her, come to the back mountain tonight."

Lin Chen couldn’t suppress himself any longer, given that the other party dared to take Little Ying; he must make them pay for the blood debt.

No matter what, Lin Chen wouldn’t endure any longer, so he left the room, intending to head to the back mountain.

Upon arriving at the back mountain, he found the surroundings deserted.

The back mountain forest was vast and lush, with dappled sunlight casting traces of shadows in the trees.

Yet he saw nothing around.

Lin Chen firmly clenched his hands, feeling somewhat worried and tense, moving slowly forward.

After a while, he noticed a large statue not far ahead.

The statue depicted a lion, majestic and mighty, appearing particularly tall and sturdy, about ten meters high. For some reason, such a thing had suddenly appeared.

"You summoned me to the back mountain, why are you hiding now that I’m here? Are you a cowardly turtle?" Lin Chen said coldly.

Lin Chen was a grateful person; Little Ying’s father had shown him kindness, and he vowed to protect her well, never betraying others.

Just then, footsteps sounded from within the forest.

He turned around and saw a group of black-clad masked men standing behind him, each with a black cloth covering their faces, armed with large knives, uniformly dressed.

Hence, he couldn’t recognize the true identity of these black-clad individuals.

"Did you guys do this?" Lin Chen shouted coldly.

"Yes, you punk are smart; this was all our doing. What can you do about it?"

Lin Chen heard this and tightly clenched his hands, his entire body trembling continually.

"If you let her go now, I might let you live and leave; otherwise, don’t blame me for being unkind." Lin Chen said coldly.

The surrounding people responded with arrogant expressions, exchanging glances, eyes cold and piercing.

"Do you think you can defeat us all by yourself?"

Lin Chen tightly clenched his hands, his fists gleaming with green light, eyes burning with jealousy.

"Then let’s see whether I can or can’t."

A burly man in black stepped forward, resting his large knife on his shoulder, staring at the young man before him.

"I tell you, if you dare touch us, I guarantee you won’t see her today!"

Lin Chen hadn’t expected the group to be so despicable, using the girl to threaten him.

"What kind of heroes are you, using a woman to force me? If you have the guts, we fight one-on-one."

Taunts didn’t work on such despicable people; upon hearing this, they all laughed into the sky.

"Do you really think you can affect us by saying this? I’m telling you, there’s no way." The black-clad man said.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it; don’t blame me."
