Chapter 1475: Chapter 1475: Perilous Situation
"Damn it, so it was you who uprooted those Purple Scale Fruit Trees. You’re a damned thief! You took the Purple Scale Fruit Trees and didn’t even leave a single blade of grass behind. It was terrible for me."
Fu Yi listened to Zhang Hongying’s words and immediately looked at Liu Yong with intense hostility, cursing vehemently.
Back then, when Fu Yi relayed this information to Fengchi, he led a group of Black Yan Hall disciples back to that island, only to find even the grass was gone. This had terrible consequences for Fu Yi, as Fengchi suspected he was being toyed with and was close to executing him in a fit of rage.
Now, he’s finally found the man who uprooted everything, and he is filled with anger towards Liu Yong.
"Senior Brother Fengchi, Senior Brother Goudan, those Purple Scale Fruit Trees are just as valuable as the Purple Scale Fruit itself, we absolutely cannot let this guy go."
Fu Yi looked at Fengchi and Goudan and immediately spoke.
Every thousand years, the Purple Scale Fruit trees blossom, every thousand years they bear fruit, and it takes another thousand years for the fruit to mature, at which point the effect of the Purple Scale Fruit is optimal.
Therefore, after picking the Purple Scale Fruit this time, it would take another three thousand years to cultivate them.
However, by offering those Purple Scale Fruit Trees to the Sect, one could gain substantial rewards, not necessarily cultivate them.
So, just like the Purple Scale Fruit, these Purple Scale Fruit Trees are essential goals.
"Kid, quickly hand over those Purple Scale Fruit Trees, otherwise this place will be your burial ground today."
"But if you act sensibly and hand over those Purple Scale Fruit Trees, I might spare your life."
"And you, hand over the Purple Scale Fruit."
Goudan’s cold gaze fell on Liu Yong, he spoke immediately, while a wave of chilling intent emanated towards Liu Yong.
At this moment, when the combined forces of the Liu Family, the Liang Family, and the Zhang Family are totaled, their numbers and strength are not inferior to theirs, and if a fight breaks out, Black Yan Hall would suffer significant losses.
Liu Yong listened to Goudan’s words, feeling quite speechless, and no longer bothered to explain.
Zhang Hongying’s remarks earlier had already implicated him, and further explanations were futile.
Right now, these folks from Black Yan Hall are convinced he has the Purple Scale Fruit Trees.
And the best way to prove himself would be to hand over all his Spatial Treasure for Black Yan Hall to inspect, but by doing so, wouldn’t that indirectly indicate his association with Black Yan Hall? After all, he’s from Yunlong Heavenly Palace, why should he prove himself to Black Yan Hall?
"Hmph, my brother doesn’t have the Purple Scale Fruit or the Purple Scale Fruit Trees you mentioned, believe it or not. If you really want to resort to forceful robbery, you can try, apart from the people here, our Liu Family has plenty more nearby in the Fire Sea, once engaged in combat they’ll rush here immediately, even if you’re Black Yan Hall, it’ll cost you dearly today."
"But if you give up targeting my Liu Family members and focus on the boy beneath the Fire Sea, I can promise that our Liu Family won’t interfere with Black Yan Hall’s affairs."
Liu Yang stood in front of Liu Yong, coldly looking at Goudan, Fengchi, and others as he spoke icily.
Upon hearing this, Fengchi and Goudan sank into contemplation.
"Goudan, what do you think?"
Fengchi looked at Goudan, asked faintly through voice transmission.
He was uncertain himself and wanted to hear Goudan’s opinion.
"Agree with him, capture that kid below first."
Goudan conveyed his reply to Fengchi through voice transmission.
"Okay then, we can agree not to act against you, but you must assure that when we deal with that youngster, you won’t interfere."
After Fengchi and Goudan discussed, he spoke immediately.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongying’s expression changed, instantly disapproving.
"Absolutely not, that person is a disciple of our Yunlong Heavenly Palace. You think we’ll just sit back while you attack one of our disciples?"
Zhang Hongying looked at Goudan and Fengchi as she spoke.
With so many martial artists from Black Yan Hall present, she worked hard to implicate Liu Yong, if she agreed to Black Yan Hall’s proposal, their people would team up against Lin Chen, who wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Haha, Zhang Caiyun, Liang Xuanzhen, I advise you to think it through. That person has significant enmity with Heaven Hall; if there’s a clash, Yun Kaige and the guys from Heaven Hall may not assist, and just your two families’ manpower might not suffice to battle Black Yan Hall."
Upon hearing Zhang Hongying’s refusal to agree with Black Yan Hall’s proposal, Liu Yang immediately stepped up to speak coldly.
As these words were spoken, Zhang Hongying, Zhang Caiyun, and Liang Xuanzhen’s expressions altered drastically.
They were aware of Lin Chen’s conflict with Heaven Hall, understanding the truth in Liu Yang’s words, and if a battle ensued, Yun Kaige and those from Heaven Hall might indeed abstain from helping.
"Liu Yang, you!"
Zhang Hongying, after hearing these words, felt very dissatisfied toward Liu Yang.
The other party repeatedly speaking for Black Yan Hall, what else could it be but collusion, albeit with lacking evidence?
"Hong Ying, let it be, stay out of this."
Zhang Caiyun halted Zhang Hongying, spoke faintly, opting not to let Zhang Hongying involve further.
"But Sister Caiyun, our fellow disciple from Yunlong Heavenly Palace is being targeted by these guys from Black Yan Hall, how can we ignore that?"
Zhang Hongying looked at Zhang Caiyun, speaking urgently.
If no one helps Lin Chen, Zhang Hongying could foresee Lin Chen’s dire predicament.
"No choice, haven’t you noticed that these Black Yan Hall folks are stronger than us, and if Yun Kaige, Heaven Hall’s people, Liu Family, and Liang Family stand idly by, us intervening to help Lin Chen would only put our Zhang Family in a perilous position."
Zhang Caiyun spoke to Zhang Hongying through voice transmission.
In the current situation, if Zhang Family intervened, while others stood aside, it would lead the Zhang Family into danger.
Therefore, Zhang Caiyun naturally refrained from risking Zhang Family’s safety to rescue Lin Chen.
Although Lin Chen is a disciple of Yunlong Heavenly Palace, as Liu Yang mentioned, he belongs to Yellow Hall rather than Profound Hall or is a member of the Zhang Family, so why should they take such risks to save Lin Chen?
"You... He’s our fellow disciple from Yunlong Heavenly Palace."
Seeing Zhang Caiyun, Liang Xuanzhen, and others disinclined to assist Lin Chen, Zhang Hongying was suddenly anxious yet helpless.
After all, she understood Zhang Caiyun’s point, relying solely on the Zhang Family wouldn’t just fail to rescue Lin Chen but would place the Zhang Family in danger.
