Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

174: The Lin family’s secret: the Crimson Flame Divine Sect!As soon as the County Magistrate and the Immortal Official left, Lin Jindong, who was on the Sacrificial Platform, revealed a look of despair.

He hadn’t expected these fierce individuals wouldn’t even give Face to the County Magistrate and the Immortal Official, but deep down, he was truly afraid of death and dared not Face his fatal predicament, so he quickly fled the Sacrificial Platform!

Steamed Bun looked up at Chen Changsheng, Chen Changsheng nodded to Steamed Bun, and understanding Chen Changsheng’s intent, Steamed Bun grabbed his Twin Blades and chased after him.

”Chuanwu, follow them and make sure Steamed Bun doesn’t suffer a loss!”

Chen Changsheng said to Chuanwu. Chuanwu nodded and immediately rode off, chasing after Steamed Bun and Lin Jindong.

”Father, now that we have completely fallen out with the Lin Family, we should prepare early!”

Chen Chuanwen whispered to Chen Changsheng. Chen Changsheng nodded. Although Chen Changsheng was not afraid of Lin Tianlong now, the Lin Family was still very powerful.

”After this matter is complete, we will return to Jade Dragon Peak. When the Lin Family comes to demand accountability, with the Formation guarding us, no matter how many Lin Family members there are, it will be useless!”

Chen Changsheng himself was not afraid of the Lin Family, but the rest of the Chen Family members were not opponents of Lin Tianlong, so returning to Jade Dragon Peak was the safest option.

”Father, I heard recently that the Lin Family makes a living by Mining and has always cooperated with the Xiao Family of the Three Great Immortal Clans. I fear the Xiao Family might suddenly intervene!”

When Chen Changsheng heard the name of the Xiao Family, he couldn’t help but frown. He suddenly remembered that when Chen Chuanwu inherited the Stone Clan Tyrant Blood, he had promised Shi Wuyou that the Family they needed to destroy was precisely the Xiao Family.

But at this time, the Chen Family’s strength was insufficient, and they still needed to deal with the Xiao Family superficially.

”Is there a way to win over the Xiao Family?”

Chen Changsheng asked Chuanjie, ”If we clash with the Lin Family, and the Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator of the Xiao Family makes a move, the Chen Family will definitely be at a disadvantage!”

”Father, I have inquired. The Xiao Family has always taken Artifact Refining as their Family foundation. Our Spiritual Land has purple gold copper ore and cold abyss ice crystal, which are High-Grade Ore Materials. If we can trade with the Xiao Family, it should at least keep them neutral!”

Chen Chuanwen clearly had a plan ready. He had investigated the Xiao Family’s situation thoroughly and naturally had a countermeasure.

”Chuanwen, your mind is clear. I’ll leave this matter to you. Whatever resources you need from the Family, just take them directly.”

Chen Changsheng felt fortunate to have Chen Chuanwen, his Second Son. He was always able to find and fix shortcomings. This time, seeking revenge for Steamed Bun against the Lin Family, if Chuanwen hadn’t made these plans, they might have had to confront the Xiao Family prematurely. A Foundation Establishment Family was not something the Chen Family could handle!

”Father, don’t worry, I will handle it properly!”

Chen Chuanwen nodded. Just as they finished discussing how to deal with the Xiao Family, Chen Chuanwu and Steamed Bun returned with the fleeing Lin Jindong.

The tendons in Lin Jindong’s hands and feet had been severed—this was clearly Steamed Bun’s doing. He was tied to the back of a horse by Chuanwu and dragged back like a dead dog.

Chen Changsheng actually held no personal grudge against Lin Jindong, so there was nothing much to say. Just as he was about to let Steamed Bun deal with him, he heard Lin Jindong suddenly shout.

”Head of the Chen Family, spare my life! I have a large amount of benefits to offer, spare my life!”

Chen Changsheng frowned. Just as he was about to tell Steamed Bun to take him away, Chuanwen stopped him.

Chuanwen walked up to Lin Jindong and asked with a smile:

”What benefits? Lin Alliance Leader, silver or anything like it can’t buy your life, as you should have realized. We are all Cultivators, and what we seek are not Mortal Things!”

”I have an Opportunity! An Opportunity that can buy my life!”

When Lin Jindong heard Chuanjie speak, he grabbed onto it like a life-saving straw, quickly shouting. He knew that he had been talking to Chen Chuanwu for a long time earlier, but Chuanwu completely ignored him, treating his words as nonsense. Now, finally, there was someone willing to talk to him!

”Oh, Chen Alliance Leader, you may speak. If it truly is a great Opportunity, it’s not impossible for me to spare your life!”

Chen Chuanwen’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He exchanged a glance with Chen Changsheng and continued to speak to Lin Jindong with a smile.

”I dare not deceive you all. I was originally a Secret Agent placed by the Lin Family in Tonghai County. On the surface, I collected sea transport silver, but in reality, it was to maintain a clandestine trade route!”

Lin Jindong knew his life hung by a thread, and Steamed Bun hated him to the bone. Only by pleasing the Chen Family members could he save his life, so he immediately sold out his former patron.

”What trade route requires the sea transport of an entire county as a cover? Lin Alliance Leader, don’t try to deceive me!”

Chen Chuanwen frowned upon hearing this. The astute man realized there must be something major involved, and he couldn’t help but press Lin Jindong for answers.

”I am not deceiving you. Lin Tianlong struck a deal with an Elder of the Crimson Flame Divine Sect to secretly transport Ore to them in exchange for the Crimson Flame Divine Sect’s Artifact Refining Secret Method and the seed of the heaven and earth spiritual fire!”

Pressured by Chen Chuanwen, how could Lin Jindong dare to hide anything? He immediately sold out the secret Lin Tianlong had planned for years. It must be said that only at the brink of death can one know whether a person is truly loyal.

As soon as Lin Jindong finished speaking, Chen Chuanwen gasped. Now that the Chen Family had some standing in Annan Prefecture, they had naturally heard of some major state affairs.

The Crimson Flame Divine Sect is currently in constant conflict with the Great Xuan Dynasty. The Great Xuan Dynasty had long ago cut off material transactions with the Crimson Flame Divine Sect. Both sides have been restlessly preparing, and if the Lingxiao Sword Pavilion hadn’t mediated, they would have started a Full-Scale War long ago!

The fact that the Lin Family dared to trade privately with the Crimson Flame Divine Sect was undoubtedly a huge vulnerability. The crime the Lin Family committed was practically High Treason.

”How can you prove it? How can we believe your nonsense regarding such a major affair?”

Chen Chuanwen was stunned for a moment. Recovering himself, he walked over to Lin Jindong, frowned, and inquired in a low voice.

”I have the Route Map for Lin Tianlong’s transactions with the Crimson Flame Divine Sect, and I also have the Crimson Flame Divine Sect’s token. As long as you hold this token, you can trade with the Crimson Flame Divine Sect. You will know once you check!”

Lin Jindong racked his brains to save his life. He quickly took out a scroll Map and an Iron Token from his clothes. Chen Chuanwen took them and handed them to Chen Changsheng.

”Father, should we spare Lin Jindong’s life and keep him as a Witness? This is a huge vulnerability for the Lin Family!”

Chen Chuanwen said in a low voice. If they could expose the Lin Family’s actions, the Lin Family’s position in Annan Prefecture would likely become extremely difficult, and perhaps the Great Xuan Dynasty would even send people to Surround and Kill the Lin Family.

This was actually what Lin Jindong intended. He wanted to keep his identity as a Witness to save his life. As things stood, only by selling out the Lin Family could he survive. He believed the Chen Family would never give up this Opportunity to defeat the Lin Family.

Chen Changsheng frowned, looking at the Map and the token, pondering for a long time. Finally, he looked at Steamed Bun and said softly:

”Steamed Bun, Lin Jindong is yours to deal with. Go and take your revenge!”

”Father! For such an important matter, how can you prioritize personal feelings over a major affair!”

Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Chuanwen immediately grew anxious. This was the Chen Family’s ultimate chance to overthrow the Lin Family, and he couldn’t understand why Chen Changsheng would do something so unwise!
