Chapter 1470: Chapter 1470: Deadlock
Lin Chen grabbed the Liu family’s guard, and the two of them fell together into the fire sea below.
This all happened in an instant, and when everyone reacted, it was too late to stop them, as they were already falling downward.
"Liu Yong, what do you mean by this?" Liang Xuanzhen looked at Liu Yong beside him and asked angrily.
He had come over with the Liu family people just now, and if he didn’t explain clearly at this moment, what the Liu family guard did could make the Zhang family think this was also the attitude of his Liang family.
It must be understood, this matter is no small affair; the Liang family and Zhang family are long-time allies, and if a misunderstanding arises, it could easily affect the relationship between the two families.
Furthermore, the Liang family and Yang family have both joined the Prince’s succession struggle and are on the Third Prince’s side, meaning they are on the same ship, and how can they allow any rift to grow now.
Liang Xuanzhen now regrets agreeing to cooperate with the Liu family over some Flame Crystal Stones.
In these ruins, their greatest enemy is those from the Black Yan Hall, so even if the Liu family has not cooperated with the Liang and Zhang families or sided with the Third Prince, they shouldn’t have engaged in such an internal conflict.
However, just now the Liu family made a move, and without Liu Yong’s direction, Liang Xuanzhen clearly didn’t believe it.
This action was undoubtedly the greatest provocation to both the Liang and Zhang families.
"My Liu family just did something, didn’t you all see? The Liu family and Lin Chen have deep grievances and naturally need to seek revenge here; this matter is a private grievance between the Liu family and Lin Chen, Brother Liang, please do not meddle, it isn’t worth using this to fight my Liang family." Liu Yong said coldly, looking at Liang Xuanzhen.
However, although Liu Yong was pretending to be calm and spoke such indifferent words, his heart was already somewhat frantic, silently cursing Hei Xuan, wondering if he was out of his mind to dare to make a move on Lin Chen at this moment, as it would bring calamity onto the Liu family.
He is now somewhat doubting whether the cooperation between their Liu family and Black Yan Hall was right or wrong, how such a foolish person as Hei Xuan could hold the position of Black Yan Hall Envoy.
"You said that person just now was Lin Chen?" Nearby, Liang Xuanzhen heard Liu Yong’s words and asked immediately.
His thoughts and attention had been on Zhang Hongying and Zhang Caiyun, the beauties, without noticing Lin Chen, assuming the latter was merely a Zhang family guard, and Lin Chen’s cultivation was too low to even consider.
Liang Xuanzhen had no deep impression of Lin Chen, only happened to see him once during the Yunlong Heavenly Palace’s four academies admission day, being nearly half a year ago, naturally he’s soon to forget Lin Chen.
Meanwhile, while Lin Chen and Hei Xuan fell into thefire sea together, Zhang Hongying immediately rushed towards the fire sea, but Zhang Caiyun stopped her from jumping in.
"Hongying, are you crazy? I’ve told you before about the dangers below the fire sea, and you’re still daring to jump down." Zhang Caiyun grabbed Zhang Hongying and scolded.
To Zhang Hongying, as they are all members of the Zhang family and had a good relationship back at the Zhang family, Zhang Caiyun naturally truly worries about Zhang Hongying’s safety, as Zhang Hongying’s action just frightened Zhang Caiyun, making her more certain of her cousin’s deep feelings for Lin Chen, even thinking of jumping in for love.
"Cousin, Lin Chen won’t be in trouble, will he? We have to hurry and find a way to save him." Zhang Hongying looked at Zhang Caiyun anxiously.
Although she loved Yang Minghui, Lin Chen had saved her life twice, and she was certainly not one to forget gratitude, naturally wishing to rescue Lin Chen at this moment.
"Below this fire sea is extremely dangerous; there are countless Fire Beasts inside, given Lin Chen’s cultivation, falling would likely lead to disaster, even if he survives briefly, he won’t hold on for long." Zhang Caiyun sighed and said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hongying immediately became anxious and furious, then turned angrily towards Liu Yong.
During Yunlong Heavenly Palace’s second stage assessment, this person intended to take her life, and without Lin Chen’s help, she wouldn’t be alive now.
So, at this moment, she wants revenge for Lin Chen.
"Liu Yong, you bastard, I’ll kill you!" Zhang Hongying roared angrily, then a sharp sword appeared in her hand, thrusting towards Liu Yong.
Liu Yong saw this and didn’t dare to hesitate, immediately taking action to block.
Zhang Caiyun saw the situation and also took out a long sword, rushing towards the Zhang family. Just now the Liu family, dared to act against Lin Chen before the Zhang family, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the Zhang family, this grievance must be avenged.
Thus, both parties immediately began to skirmish.
Clang—
As Zhang Caiyun’s sharp sword was about to land on a Liu family disciple, a white sword light intercepted Zhang Caiyun’s attack, followed by a white figure appearing to stand in front of Zhang Caiyun.
"Liu Yang!"
Zhang Caiyun looked at Liu Yang, her expression turning somber.
Liu Yang, like her, is a senior disciple in the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, and this person’s cultivation talent far surpasses hers, even ranking among the top ten of the Yunlong Heavenly Palace’s Outer Sect, and his strength comparable to Zi Ling.
If they truly fought, Zhang Caiyun would likely be defeated within a hundred moves.
Now, Liang Xuanzhen slowly approached Zhang Caiyun, having no choice but to stand on the same side as Zhang Caiyun, after all, the relationship between the Liang and Zhang families is there.
Moreover, the Liu family’s behavior just now not only offended the Zhang family’s dignity but also theirs, the Liang family.
Liu Yang looked at Liang Xuanzhen standing next to Zhang Caiyun, having some headaches, not daring to act rashly immediately.
If it was just Zhang Caiyun alone, he could handle it, but with Liang Xuanzhen added, dealing with both becomes a bit tricky.
After all, Liang Xuanzhen is no weakling, compared to him, not much different.
For a moment, both sides were at a standoff, neither dared to take the first step.
Liu Yang naturally understood the cooperation relationship between their Liu family and Black Yan Hall.
Thus, the moment Hei Xuan made a move, he received Hei Xuan’s message and hurried over.
