Chapter 695: Chapter 695: The Attitude of the King of Jiangbei

Master Lin arrived in Jiangbei and killed the War Department President Xia Jiuling’s son Xia Xinghen, crippled Murong Feng, the son of the Jiangbei King, and disfigured Chen Yingxue. The news quickly spread throughout Jiangbei.

The many martial arts families of Jiangbei were all watching the Chen family’s reaction.

They wanted to see how the Chen family would face Master Lin of Nanjing.

”Master Lin is considered the top figure in Nanjing, rumored to have strength comparable to Earth Realm martial artists. Now he has forcefully arrived in Jiangbei, seemingly holding a grudge against the Chen Clan of Jiangbei.”

”Will the Chen family of Jiangbei choose to submit or to confront him head-on?”

”Let’s see the attitude of the Chen family. In two days, their Annual Meeting is supposed to take place. If the Chen family cancels the Annual Meeting, it means they are submitting and are scared. If they continue with it, then it indicates they choose to confront Master Lin head-on.”

”...”

As everyone in Jiangbei waited and watched, the Chen family quickly made an announcement.

That was to hold the Annual Meeting as planned!

And they invited Sect Masters from Jiangbei to attend the Chen family Annual Meeting.

With this announcement, everyone knew what the Chen family intended.

The Chen family did not back down, choosing to face Master Lin of Nanjing head-on.

On the same day, the Chen family sent out hundreds of invitations, inviting hundreds of martial arts masters and grandmasters to attend their Annual Meeting.

Among these masters, not only those from Jiangbei Province but also from other provinces!

There were responses from fifty-six Sect Masters and over three hundred martial arts masters. All stated they would attend the Chen family Annual Meeting on the eighth day.

This meant that those who promised to come were siding with the Chen family!

Among them, the Four Great Families in Jiangbei were particularly prominent. Almost as soon as they received the invitations, they responded.

The Four Great Families of Jiangbei: Xia Family!

The Xia family was also a prestigious family in Jiangbei. Though slightly less influential than the first family of Jiangbei, the Chen family, they were still ranked within the top five.

Their patriarch, Xia Jiuling, was also the President of the Jiangbei Martial Arbiters, and along with the King of Jiangbei and Chen Yingzheng, the eldest of the Chen family, was known as one of the three Grandmasters of Jiangbei!

At the moment, he was returning from a trip.

The Xia and Chen families had always had a close relationship, with several marriages between the two clans. Xia Jiuling and Chen Yingcai, the second elder of the Chen family, were even in-laws; Xia Jiuling’s daughter had married Chen Yingcai’s son.

He would attend the Chen family’s Annual Meeting every year, and he was always well-prepared with gifts to please the Chen family.

Just two days after celebrating the new year, he had gone out on a trip.

He had sought a five-hundred-year-old Polygonum Multiflorum, a heavenly and earthly treasure, intending to present it as a New Year’s gift at the Chen family Annual Meeting.

But upon his return, he was met with the news of his son Xia Xinghen being killed by Master Lin of Nanjing.

Enraged, he roared:

”Master Lin of Nanjing, you’ve killed my son, I will smash your body into ten thousand pieces!”

However, with Master Lin Dong’s reputation preceding him, despite his desire to grind Lin Dong into dust, he could only bear it for the time being.

He prepared to join hands with the Chen family and take revenge for his son during the Annual Meeting.

...

Jiangbei War Department.

Murong Feng had already been brought back, his arm severed cleanly at the root, now left with only one arm.

Although his life was not in danger, the loss of an arm would greatly impact his future cultivation.

Previously, his potential was ranked within the top five among the youth of Jiangbei, but after this injury, his potential would have to be placed beyond the twentieth position.

But what affected him most was his upcoming entry into the Dragon Group.

Before, he was qualified to enter the Dragon Group. But now, with one arm gone, he would directly lose the opportunity to join the Dragon Group.

”Dad, you must stand up for me. That Master Lin of Jiangnan, he’s really too ruthless!”

”All I did was advise him not to take things too far, and he directly chopped off one of my arms.”

”Without an arm, my future martial arts cultivation will be greatly affected, and my increase in cultivation level will suffer a massive setback.”

”What’s more important is that I can’t join the Dragon Group now!”

”Dad, that Master Lin doesn’t take you seriously at all. You must seek revenge for me...”

However, the response he received was a scolding from the King of Jiangbei:

”You shut your mouth. I warned you before not to provoke him. Why don’t you ever listen to me?”

Murong Feng said, ”I didn’t provoke him, I was just trying to break up a fight. He cut off my arm and even said he was going to kill me.”

”Shut up! Are you still arguing?” the King of Jiangbei scolded angrily, ”Do you really think I don’t know what happened? Where was that breaking up a fight?”

”You even dared to use the War Department’s forces to capture him; you’re way too bold! Him disabling your arm is already letting you off easy.”

”Dad, why are you still speaking on his behalf? I am your son, yet now that I have an arm chopped off, you still defend him...” Murong Feng said discontentedly.

Murong Qingyun sighed deeply and said earnestly, ”That Master Lin from Jiangnan is not someone you can afford to offend. Even I can’t touch him. He came to Jiangbei to settle a grudge with the Chen family. Are we supposed to get involved in that?”

”Not to mention, you dared to use the War Department’s strength to capture him. How could you?”

”If the Dragon King War God ever finds out about this, the War Department will no longer tolerate you!”

”What?” Hearing this, Murong Feng was shocked and asked, ”Dad, how does this relate to the Dragon King War God?”

Murong Qingyun sighed again and said, ”I didn’t want to tell you this because I was afraid it would be too much of a blow to you.”

”In hindsight, I should have told you earlier. A blow to you would be better than you trying to provoke Master Lin!”

”Do you know who the Dragon King War God invited to become the captain of the new Dragon Group?”

Feeling uneasy, Murong Feng subconsciously asked, ”Who?”

”Lin Dong!” Murong Qingyun let out these two words.

Upon hearing this name, Murong Feng nearly fell to the ground.

And Murong Qingyun continued, ”But, he refused.”

”What?” Murong Feng was even more shocked and blurted out: ”There’s actually someone who can refuse the position of the captain of the Dragon Group?”

”Becoming the captain of the Dragon Group means that one will later become the War God of the War Department. He... he actually refused?”

”Yes,” said Murong Qingyun, ”The Dragon King War God has always been trying to win over Lin Dong, wanting him to join the Dragon Group and take up the position of captain. And at this critical moment, you actually mobilized the War Department’s forces to capture him.”

”If the Dragon King War God finds out about this, how do you think he will deal with you?”

”This... this...” Murong Feng turned pale, feeling as if the sky and earth were spinning. His heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.

Shock, fear, jealousy, disbelief...

And he dared not harbor any more hatred!

”Now, do you still seek revenge?” Murong Qingyun coldly huffed and asked.

Murong Feng bowed his head.

”Let’s go, later you will follow me to apologize to Master Lin. If he is unwilling to forgive you, then, the War Department will not tolerate you!”

”You will be dismissed from the War Register!”

Upon hearing these words, Murong Feng shuddered again.

And Murong Qingyun, with a stride like a dragon and tiger, stepped out of the War Department barracks, preparing to go and apologize to Lin Dong.

Murong Feng hesitated for a moment and then hurriedly followed...
