Chapter 1297: Chapter 1297: Targeting Those Around Him
"Everyone, within the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, killing is a grave sin, even if that guy is just an inconspicuous figure from the Yellow Hall."
"Do you have any ways to make this boy pay the price?"
Shi An looked at everyone in front of him and asked.
As a well-known figure within the Outer Sect, Shi An had also been beaten by Lin Chen, his magic treasure taken, his vestment robe stripped, and more than anyone else, he wanted Lin Chen to die without a grave.
However, killing someone within the Yunlong Heavenly Palace is not an easy task, and it’s absolutely impossible.
After all, even a disciple of the Yellow Hall has mentors watching over them, and if a disciple dies, it will certainly be investigated thoroughly.
No one dares to ignore the Heavenly Palace’s bottom line in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace.
If someone were killed in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, they would eventually be punished by the Law Enforcement Hall.
There have been cases where people thought they could evade Yunlong Heavenly Palace’s investigation with superior skills, but in the end, they were found out clearly by the Law Enforcement Hall.
So acting within the Yunlong Heavenly Palace simply cannot avoid the Law Enforcement Hall’s investigation.
"That guy has complex methods and is extremely cunning in his actions, even if we are numerous and powerful, dealing with that kid is not easy."
Liu Yong, who had experienced Lin Chen’s methods and suffered losses repeatedly at his hands, knew well how difficult it was to deal with Lin Chen.
After hearing Liu Yong’s words, everyone present turned grim-faced.
"Brother Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that we give up dealing with that kid and let this matter slide?"
Everyone looked at Liu Yong, indignantly.
Having suffered such humiliation, how could they just let it go?
"That’s certainly not what I mean."
Liu Yong looked at the angry eyes of everyone in front of him and immediately explained.
Liu Yong, being one of the Cloud Dragon Kingdom’s Top Ten Heroes, had also suffered losses at Lin Chen’s hands, so he certainly didn’t want to let Lin Chen go.
After all, even before joining the Heaven Hall, he had a grudge with Lin Chen in the Secret Realm.
Being able to deal with Lin Chen was something he had always been hoping for.
"Then what did you mean when you said he’s hard to deal with? Are you not suggesting we give up and let it pass?"
Someone else in the crowd asked.
"You misunderstood me. I said that kid is cunning and difficult to deal with, which is true."
"Precisely because of this, we cannot directly deal with the boy."
"Have you all forgotten that in the Yellow Hall now, there are more than just two or three disciples, and among them are a few friends of that boy, Lin Chen."
Liu Yong looked at everyone, a sinister smile on his face.
Hearing this, everyone immediately understood Liu Yong’s intention.
"That’s right, that kid is hard to deal with, but we can target the people around him."
"Moreover, among those who joined the Yellow Hall now, there are two great beauties."
"Why don’t we aim at those two great beauties, surely it will ruin Lin Chen’s state of mind, making his life worse than death."
Someone in the crowd said with an evil smile, looking extremely indecent.
Upon hearing these words, others couldn’t help but laugh evilly, Shi An included.
For Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui, he was moved upon first sight.
"Haha, still Brother Liu’s idea is brilliant, catching those two great beauties, and we brothers can take turns enjoying them, how delightful!"
"Among those two beauties, one seems neither male nor female. Despite being fair and charming, isn’t he a man? You actually like that?"
"Hehe, you don’t understand, although he’s male, he’s quite handsome, and does it matter then?"
"..."
After these words, everyone laughed evilly.
After Shi An proposed this suggestion and saw everyone’s reaction, he laughed along.
He was greatly moved by Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui, and wanted to have them for himself.
Now, with everyone eyeing these two with evil thoughts, Liu Yong was quite displeased, since his favorites were being coveted by others.
However, at this point, Liu Yong could do nothing.
If he expressed his opinion, he would surely displease the crowd, and his status in the Heaven Hall might be lowered, causing general dissatisfaction and making it impossible for him to stand in the Heaven Hall.
Now, Liu Yong could still command some people within the Heaven Hall.
After all, his cultivation stands out and he is one of the Top Ten Heroes of Yunlong City, well-known and talented, and both martial artists with lower cultivation than his and those with similar cultivation value his prospects.
But if Liu Yong angered everyone over this matter, his status in the Heaven Hall would drop, and who would still listen to him?
...
Outer Sect, Yellow Hall.
Lin Chen left the Inner Sect and returned directly to the Yellow Hall after returning to the Outer Sect.
After all, having recently injured some Heaven Hall people, they surely won’t let it go, and Lin Chen always remembered Xiao Chitai and Zi Ling’s words, trying to go out less.
"Lin Chen, where have you been? I’ve been calling you for a while, but there was no response from inside."
Lin Chen had just returned to the Yellow Hall and encountered a figure outside his residence, it was Yang Minghui.
"Went out for a bit, aren’t you mad at me? Why would you come looking for me?"
Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and asked bluntly.
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Yang Minghui’s expression changed dramatically, cursing inwardly if this idiot’s mind was broken to ask such a question.
Then, Yang Minghui snorted coldly, immediately turned angrily to leave.
"Hey, silly girl, what did you come to me for?"
Lin Chen found Yang Minghui’s reticence and cold demeanor baffling, and immediately stepped forward to grab her hand and ask.
"Nothing, I’m not looking for you."
Yang Minghui shrugged off Lin Chen’s hand, expressed her anger, then continued walking away.
Seeing Yang Minghui’s reluctance to tell, Lin Chen sighed, then followed her closely.
When Yang Minghui gets angry, she ignores everything, Lin Chen worriedly followed her to her residence.
Later, Yang Minghui entered the courtyard, Lin Chen intended to follow her, but was met with a loud ’bang’ from the closing courtyard door.
Lin Chen, helpless, could only call out to Yu Weilian.
