Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

171: The Chen family descended the mountain, only to be claimed by the unseen forces of death!Although the three Cold Blade Tower assassins reacted quickly, they were no match for Howling Heaven’s speed.

Howling Heaven was originally a Essence Spirit enlightened by a Demon Pointing Stone, and even among Essence Spirits, it was a naturally gifted existence. Over the years, Chen Changsheng had not mistreated it, letting it consume all sorts of precious medicines and even feeding it Black Carp Spirit Fish, a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. It had long since grown to the Peak of the Essence Spirit Realm, only one step away from evolving into a demon!

At this moment, Howling Heaven killed Innate Masters like killing chickens. It caught up to the three like the wind, its ghostly claws—a talent of its species—lightly waving, severing the hamstrings of all three.

Howling Heaven was very clever; it knew Chen Changsheng hadn’t ordered it to kill the three, so it only stripped them of their mobility and ran back to Chen Changsheng’s side.

”Steamed Bun, how do you want to handle this? I’ll leave it to you!”

Chen Changsheng stroked Howling Heaven’s head and looked at Steamed Bun with a smile.

Steamed Bun did not stand on ceremony with Chen Changsheng. He nodded to him, drew a broken blade, and walked up to the three assassins.

”Where is the Vice Tower Lord of Cold Blade Tower, Lin Jindong, now?”

Steamed Bun’s voice was cold as he questioned the three. The person who had sent Steamed Bun to kill, ordered his clavicles to be crippled, and killed his woman was precisely this Vice Tower Lord, Lin Jindong.

”I don’t know! We are only Mysterious-rank assassins, how could we know the Vice Tower Lord’s whereabouts!”

The two Blood Refining Realm masters were already scared out of their wits. They spoke to Steamed Bun with faces full of terror, but Steamed Bun’s heart had always been as cold as iron—this was the logic Cold Blade Tower had taught him: no sympathy for enemies!

*Swish!*

A flash of blade light passed, and a line of blood appeared on the throats of the two Blood Refining Realm assassins. They desperately clutched their throats, trying to stop the blood from flowing, but it was in vain, and they eventually became corpses.

”Where is Lin Jindong now?”

Steamed Bun killed the two as if it were a trivial matter. He turned his head to look at the Innate assassin with the same cold expression and low voice that made one shudder.

”Lin Jindong... five years ago, he washed his hands in a golden basin and retired from Cold Blade Tower. He is now the Martial Arts Alliance Leader and Maritime Association President of Tonghai County, commanding all the martial arts halls in the county and controlling the maritime industry of Tonghai County!”

Seeing the cold Steamed Bun, the Innate Master did not dare to deceive him and hurriedly reported what he knew. He smelled a similar scent on Steamed Bun—the ruthlessness of a fellow assassin. To them, killing a person was simpler than killing a chicken.

”Thank you!”

Steamed Bun did not continue to strike this man and returned to Chen Changsheng’s side. At this time, Chuanwen stepped forward and said to the Innate Master whose hamstrings had been severed:

”Go back and tell your Cold Blade Tower boss to wait for death obediently. His life is claimed by our Chen Family!”

After speaking, Chen Chuanwen looked at Chen Changsheng, pondered for a moment, and said to everyone:

”Father, I don’t think that Lin Jindong actually retired. Cold Blade Tower is backed by the Lin Family, and Lin Jindong is clearly a blade used by the Lin Family to control Tonghai County!”

”Tonghai County borders the East Sea. Countless ships go out to sea every day, bringing wealth as vast as a cow’s hair. It’s clear that Lin Jindong is the white glove arranged by the Lin Family in Tonghai County to collect wealth!”

Chen Changsheng nodded at Chen Chuanwen’s analysis. Just as their Chen Family controlled Longkou and Longwei counties through the merchant guild, Tonghai County had likely become the Lin Family’s backyard.

”Regardless of whether Lin Jindong is the Lin Family’s white glove or the underground emperor of Tonghai County, he is doomed to die today!”

”Let Wang Meng and Brother Wang look after the house and activate the Mountain Protection Formation. The rest of you, follow me down the mountain. This time, I will take Lin Jindong’s head, even if it means turning Tonghai County upside down!”

Chen Changsheng spoke in a low voice, and the three sons of the Chen family all agreed. Then, Chuanwen went to inform Wang Meng to guard the home. Wang Meng was already at the first level of the Qi Refining Realm, so he could manage the Formation!

The rest of the group walked down the mountain together. Of course, Howling Heaven was not left behind this time and followed obediently behind Chen Changsheng.

Traveling swiftly, they soon reached the Black Ice Platform outpost in the Jade Dragon Mountain Range. Zhao Song was already there waiting with the experts of the Black Ice Platform.

”Godfather, I have gathered all the experts of the Black Ice Platform. They are all in the Blood Refining Realm, twenty-two in total! If needed, we are at your disposal!”

Zhao Song controlled the Black Ice Platform and had the best intelligence. Furthermore, he knew Chen Changsheng’s nature well and knew he would definitely seek revenge for Steamed Bun, so he had gathered the Black Ice Platform masters in advance to lend Chen Changsheng a hand.

”Haha, Zhao Song, you’ve anticipated things well. You’re starting to act more and more like Chuanwen!”

Chen Changsheng laughed, then his gaze swept over the twenty-two Blood Refining masters wearing bamboo hats, and he couldn’t help but nod.

The Black Ice Platform was originally an intelligence agency, and martial combat was not its main business. For Zhao Song to have cultivated twenty-two Blood Refining masters showed how much effort he had put in.

”Zhao Song, once this matter is over, I will refine a batch of xiantian pills for you. Your Black Ice Platform should also have a few Innate Masters!”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile. The Blood Refining masters didn’t know the power of the xiantian pill, but Zhao Song understood. An excited expression appeared on his face, and he hurriedly knelt on one knee, saying loudly:

”Thank you, Godfather!”

Chen Changsheng waved his hand, indicating there was no need to mind, and then said to Zhao Song:

”It’s a small matter. Have horses prepared; we’re going to Tonghai County!”

”Yes!”

Zhao Song nodded in agreement. Soon, over twenty fine horses were brought out. Chuanwen even gave one to the Innate Master whose hamstrings had been severed, letting him go to deliver the message to Cold Blade Tower.

Chen Changsheng understood Chuanwen’s thoughts; he wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, so he didn’t stop him.

”Everyone, target Tonghai County. Full speed ahead!”

Seeing that everyone was ready, Chen Changsheng shouted and led the group down the mountain on horseback, heading straight for Tonghai County.

In Tonghai County, as the largest local tyrant with the Lin Family of the Prefecture City as his backer, Lin Jindong’s life had been flourishing over the past few years.

The martial artists in the county regarded him as their Alliance Leader, he had the final say in the maritime industry, and even the County Magistrate and Immortal Official dared not offend him. This made him the underground emperor of Tonghai County.

Today was the most grand day of the year in Tonghai County—the Dragon King Sacrifice.

Since Tonghai County was located on the coast of the East Sea, most people made a living by fishing and maritime transport. Once there were storms at sea, it would be a disaster for Tonghai County, so the whole county took it very seriously.

Not only did all the major martial arts halls come, but the wealthy and prominent figures of the county, and even the County Magistrate and Immortal Official, were all present!

And on the grandstand for the Dragon King Sacrifice, the first seat belonged to Lin Jindong. The County Magistrate and Immortal Official could only rank second and third.

”Master Lin, you must preside over this year’s Sea Sacrifice; otherwise, who else would have the qualification?”

”Indeed, indeed. In our Tonghai County, with Master Lin in second place, who would dare claim first!”

...Amidst the flattery of the crowd, Lin Jindong walked to the main seat and sat down. Accustomed to being flattered, he took a sip of tea and said calmly:

”I won’t decline then. In this Tonghai County, if we’re looking for someone to preside over the sacrifice, besides me, Lin Jindong, no one else has the qualification!”

Lin Jindong sat boldly in the first seat, speaking with an air of arrogance, his eyes full of pride and conceit!

Unfortunately, he did not know that a group of Black and White Impermanences were on their way to claim his life!
