Chapter 2453: Chapter 2454: Seeking Justice

Lin Chen held the longsword in his hand and stepped towards the mountain.

Although Xiao Ying tried several times to stop him, he simply wouldn’t listen.

"You shouldn’t go, everything might not be as you imagine. If you go up the mountain, there could be danger."

Despite Lin Chen’s formidable skills and extraordinary talent and intellect, he was alone. The crowd on the mountain might gang up against him, and the chances of survival would be slim.

"If you don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke you. They made the first move, so they can’t blame me for being impolite."

A true man lives between heaven and earth, and should live life to the fullest in his limited years.

Why suffer others’ indignities? If they don’t respect me, why should I regard them as divine?

These were the principles Lin Chen lived by in his life.

If anyone wronged him, he would launch a relentless vengeance.

Xiao Ying hoped he would stay and not go up the mountain alone, as it was extremely dangerous. However, once he made up his mind, no one could change his initial decision.

As the warm sunset descended, a young man, weapon in hand, slowly ascended the mountain.

Lin Chen knew there were still many important things he needed to do. He had to accomplish this.

When Lin Chen went up the mountain, many people saw the scene and tried to stop him. As soon as he arrived at the mountain gate, he found a group of people with weapons waiting there.

"Sorry, we don’t allow others to carry weapons up the mountain."

Lin Chen smirked coldly when he heard this, looking at the people before him.

"I’ll give you a chance to step aside quietly, or there’s only one end for you—death!"

A handsome young man stepped forward, weapon in hand, looking at the young man before him.

"I’m really sorry, my friend, we have our rules here, and we hope you can respect them. Also, if you want to go up the mountain, we must inform our master to see if he allows it."

Lin Chen was unwilling to waste words with these people and sent a beam of light from the longsword in his hand rushing towards them.

This white beam was like a terrifying wave, endless and astounding, and they couldn’t resist it in time.

The white light quickly attacked these disciples, and they were all sent flying and then fell to the ground.

Each one’s eyes were filled with unprecedented horror because none of them expected this seemingly young man to be so formidable.

Although each had trained for years and possessed first-rate skills, they seemed insignificant before this young man, truly inspiring admiration.

Lin Chen still held his weapon and proceeded up the mountain, and those behind him dared not stop him.

He had initially considered letting things go and investigating the truth within three days, not wanting to confront Zheng He, but who knew Zheng He would do such a thing.

Zheng He was a legendary figure with top-notch skills and strategy, having built this well-known sect.

Who knew that behind the image of a grandmaster in others’ eyes, there would be such vile corruption.

Lin Chen hadn’t yet figured out the full truth, but he couldn’t care less. First, he would go up the mountain to seek justice, regardless of whether he was a match or not.

Lin Chen, with a majestic longsword, rushed up the mountain. Though many people tried to stop the young man, they were powerless because he was simply too strong.

Lin Chen wasn’t a reckless brute; he wouldn’t kill everyone he encountered.

Most were severely injured by him, yet he didn’t take their lives.

His ascent wasn’t truly to deal with Zheng He, but to find out what Zheng He meant by all this.

On Zheng He’s side.

Zheng He was alone in his room when suddenly Zhou Lie entered.

"Master, something’s wrong."

Zheng He, a man of calm temperament, felt curious when he heard his disciple say this. He immediately stood up and looked at him.

"What happened? Can you explain slowly? Why be so panicked? What’s going on?"

"I just found many of our brothers killed in the back mountain."

Zheng He heard this and waved his hand, suddenly standing, eyes wide in anger.

"What did you say? Who did this?"

Zheng He’s sect, esteemed and prestigious, couldn’t imagine anyone daring to harm his disciples. This act was indeed reckless.

If he found out, he would undoubtedly punish this person severely.

"I dare not say."

Zheng He trembled slightly, turning to look at his disciple, puzzled by why he would say such a thing.

"Why wouldn’t you say? Who’s the culprit? Tell your master, don’t worry, your master stands behind you, and the culprit can’t harm you." Zheng He shouted angrily.

Zhou Lie heard this, a cold smile forming on his lips, feeling pleased.

From the start, Zhou Lie hadn’t trusted those around him, fearing they’d cause trouble, so he quietly followed them when Lin Chen harmed them, watching everything unfold.

Perhaps initially his master hadn’t intended to act against the young man, but the situation had changed now.

The master, especially fond of his disciples, would not let anyone who harmed them off lightly.

"Master, you surely know this person."

Zheng He seemed to have guessed something at this point, looking at his disciple with a surprised and incredulous expression.

"Is what you said true?" Zheng He asked, "Do you mean, it’s that person?"

"Yes, master, it is him."

Zheng He, at this moment of anger, reached its peak, clutching his hands tightly, raising his head with a furious shout.

Never did he imagine this person would dare to kill his disciples, and today he can’t let him go.

"Not only did he steal my treasure, but he also killed my disciples!"
