Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2168: Chapter 2169: Gu Poison

”Dad, what are you thinking about!”

Chen Jie shook off Lin Chen’s hand, her face blushing, then she glared at Chen Lin and continued, ”I’ve come to ask for your advice on something this time.”

”There’s no time for that now. The issues with the Demon Sect are already giving me a headache, and I have no energy to deal with anything else.”

Chen Lin waved his hand, sinking back into thought, ”You two better not cause any trouble lately.”

”It’s already too late, trouble has found us.” Chen Jie glanced at Lin Chen, seeing his still calm expression, she couldn’t help but smile wryly.

”What? What trouble have you gotten into?” Chen Lin finally stopped his deep thinking, showing concern for his daughter.

”Not me, Lin Chen. He killed Zhou Han...” Chen Jie said slowly.

”Hmm?”

At this, Chen Lin’s expression finally changed slightly. He got up and started pacing in the room. He knew who Zhou Han was, a troublemaker, but even someone like him—killing would bring many problems, because the rules demand punishment when broken.

”You both come with me to the hall later and explain the whole situation. Let’s see what the Sect Master says.” Chen Lin sighed, glancing at Lin Chen with a shake of his head.

”It wasn’t just Zhou Han...” Chen Jie continued.

”Who else?” Chen Lin’s heart sank.

”The Azure Dragon Society people who came looking for trouble with me, I killed them all, roughly... about twenty.” Lin Chen estimated the number, then explained to Chen Lin.

With a thud, Chen Lin sat down stunned upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, his face drastically changed, then he sprang up, pointing at Lin Chen and scolded, ”How could you do that! Take me to see.”

...

Chen Lin hurriedly followed Lin Chen to his residence, which was now crowded with many people.

Some were disciples, while others stood solemnly behind an elder, their green robes emblazoned with a red ”Law” character on the chest.

These were the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall.

”Where is Lin Chen now?”

A disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall was pressuring Lin Wan’er, asking about Lin Chen’s whereabouts. It was the first time such a grievous incident occurred during the Green Ripple Sect’s tenure.

”I don’t know.”

Lin Wan’er’s face was pale, whether from fright or the limbs scattered around, but her tone was resolute, with no intention of revealing Lin Chen’s tracks.

In her eyes, all those Azure Dragon Society people were villains. Otherwise, how could they drive Lin Chen to kill? Although the method was brutal, it didn’t hinder Lin Chen’s standing in her heart.

”I’m right here.”

Just as the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall was about to continue questioning, Lin Chen entered from outside with Chen Lin, calmly saying, with no trace of fear on his face.

”It’s him, Lin Chen! The one causing harm to our Green Ripple Sect disciples!”

”What harm? It seems more like uprooting evil for the people. These people did everything wrong, and this time they kicked the iron plate, serves them right!”

”It’s indeed satisfying, but unfortunately, Lin Chen, I’m afraid the sect won’t easily forgive him.”

As Lin Chen walked in, discussions erupted around him. Many had been persecuted by the Azure Dragon Society, and had no goodwill towards them.

Despite some Azure Dragon Society members attempting to speak up, they were quickly drowned out by the applause.

”I was wondering where this kid went, turns out he was off to get you for help.”

At this moment, the elder in front of the Law Enforcement Hall spoke up, stroking his beard with a calm expression, betraying no inner thoughts.

”Shu Ning, stop saying irrelevant things. Quickly offer some advice, dealing with such chaos is troublesome.” Chen Lin frowned at the scene, both shocked at Lin Chen’s ruthlessness, and looking for advice from the elder, apparently quite familiar.

Shu Ning shook his head with a bitter smile, ”What can be done? So many disciples dead, it’s bound to reach the Sect Master’s ears, can’t cover it up. Best report it and see how the Sect Master handles it.”

”Thanks.” Chen Lin patted Shu Ning’s shoulder.

Within the sect, the Law Enforcement Hall held the power over life and death, normally handling such matters internally, but this time opting to report up was also giving Lin Chen a chance to convince the Sect Master, to suppress the matter.

Otherwise, not reporting and covering it up, once discovered later, not only Lin Chen but others involved would suffer consequences.

”Let’s take them back first, and after healing him, I’ll bring Lin Chen to the main hall.” Chen Lin sighed, leading Sun Tianming and Lin Wan’er away.

Sun Tianming hadn’t fully regained consciousness, his face was blue, yet strangely upon examination, Chen Lin found no new bite marks from poisoning insects.

”Strange. Explain how Sun Tianming got injured.” Chen Lin frowned.

”I don’t know the details.” Lin Wan’er shook her head, pausing momentarily before slowly speaking, ”Brother Sun originally intended to hold off Zhou Han, letting us leave first, but at that time Zhou Han just whistled, a strange whistle, and then Brother Sun collapsed.”

Lin Wan’er recalled.

”It’s a Gu worm.” Chen Lin gasped.

His hand felt Sun Tianming’s abdomen, which slightly bulged, and with Spiritual Energy entering, the movement became more pronounced, as if ready to burst forth from within.

”These are indeed cruel methods.” Chen Lin wiped sweat from his forehead, then slowly said, ”These Gu have been in his body for quite some time, not something easily removed.”

He paced slightly in the room, then thought, ”Alright, take him to the hall as well. The sooner you clarify things, the more advantage you hold.”

”Won’t that delay healing time, is Brother Sun okay?” Lin Chen frowned.

”Don’t worry, he’ll be fine for now. Besides, the Gu might be Zhou Han’s doing, bringing him along for the Sect Master to see the Azure Dragon Society’s actions helps your odds.” Chen Lin considered this and promptly carried Sun Tianming, leading Lin Chen and the others towards the main hall atop the mountain.

When they approached the main hall, the seats there were already filled.
