Chapter 1287: Chapter 1287: You’ll Have to Pay for Any Damage
"Senior Brother Cheng, this woman starts off by provoking you. Do you have some kind of grudge?"
Lin Chen looked at Cheng Liang and asked.
As for Zhang Caiyun’s attitude towards the Yellow Hall, Lin Chen was quite displeased too.
She came in like she had eaten explosives, making a fuss without reason.
This kind of person just deserves a beating. If they were outside, Lin Chen definitely wouldn’t let it go.
But now they’re at the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, and it’s not a good time to act up when being new here.
"She doesn’t have a grudge with me, but she does with Senior Sister Zi Ling. This woman was beaten badly by Senior Sister Zi Ling before."
Cheng Liang glanced at Zhang Caiyun and said to Lin Chen.
"Forget it, don’t worry about these things for now. You’ll get used to it eventually. Our Yellow Hall, no matter where we go, always has a tough time..."
Cheng Liang looked at Lin Chen and said helplessly.
No choice, as the Yellow Hall is indeed the worst among the four halls.
Lin Chen listened to Cheng Liang’s words and was speechless, no wonder these people had such a big problem with the Yellow Hall; it’s all the mess caused by that girl Zi Ling.
Lin Chen looked at Zhang Caiyun and suddenly had some thoughts.
"What kind of bad luck did we run into today, meeting all these people? What’s going on, look at those tense faces, are they planning to fight?"
"For such an exciting event, you naturally have to include me, Shi An."
Just as Lin Chen was thinking of either teaching Zhang Caiyun a lesson or keeping silent, he saw a figure slowly appear in the hall with a group of followers.
The newcomer was Shi An, who had previously caused trouble for Lin Chen.
At this moment, after seeing Lin Chen and Cheng Liang, Shi An’s lackeys immediately surrounded them.
Lin Chen also noticed a familiar figure among the lackeys—it was Liu Yong.
Seeing Liu Yong act as Shi An’s lackey, many martial artists watching around began to whisper, saying it was outrageous for one of the Top Ten Heroes to serve Shi An as a lackey.
Everyone knew how Shi An, despite having some status in the Outer Sect, gained his position—by ass-kissing and taking advantage of others’ power.
Looking at Liu Yong, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and viewed Liu Yong differently.
Liu Yong lowering himself to be Shi An’s lackey was despicable, but the fact that he could set his pride aside showed he had deep strategies.
Liu Yong, being naturally gifted, had recently joined the Heaven Hall, which meant his cultivation could progress quickly, reaching the Creation Realm soon.
Yet he chose this path, suggesting there must be some reason.
"Kid, we meet again."
Liu Yong looked at Lin Chen and smiled faintly.
But Lin Chen felt Liu Yong’s smile was malicious.
It should be noted there was significant enmity between Lin Chen and Liu Yong.
Previously in the Secret Realm, if it weren’t for Lin Chen, Liu Yong would’ve attacked and killed Zhang Hongying.
But because Lin Chen appeared, causing Liu Yong’s mission to fail, Zhang Hongying survived, and the truth got exposed. Now, due to this, the Liu Family and Zhang Family were in a serious feud.
Originally, the Zhang Family kept pressing the Liu Family for an explanation.
But the Liu Family dared not admit to knowing about this, saying it was a dispute among the younger generation for them to handle themselves.
However, the Zhang Family wouldn’t relent easily.
So Lin Chen’s appearance not only caused Liu Yong’s failure but also led to hostility between the Zhang and Liu families, further affecting the Liu Family’s strategies in Dragon City.
Thus, Liu Yong hated Lin Chen with a passion, wishing he could personally kill him.
Moreover, during the battle that day, Lin Chen also destroyed his magic treasure.
He really couldn’t understand how Lin Chen, a mere Fifth Level of the Nirvana Realm waste, could possess such great battle strength.
"Shi An, what are you trying to do?"
Though Cheng Liang disliked causing trouble, he was not afraid of it. Seeing people from the Earth Hall slowly surround him and Lin Chen, his expression turned grim.
If it was just him, he could fight and escape.
But now Lin Chen was here, giving him more concerns.
Being a Senior Brother, he couldn’t just leave Lin Chen and run away alone.
Though they were at the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, Shi An wouldn’t dare to kill them, but a beating and humiliation were inevitable.
"Junior Brother Lin Chen, I’ll try my best to hold them off. You quickly escape and report this to Senior Sister Zi Ling."
After thinking over, Cheng Liang quietly sent a message to Lin Chen.
He thought even if he got beaten, he couldn’t allow Lin Chen to suffer.
Lin Chen heard Cheng Liang’s message and smiled calmly, without responding.
How could he not see through Cheng Liang’s intentions?
But given Cheng Liang’s strength, he wouldn’t be able to hold off these people, with Liu Yong alone enough to handle Cheng Liang.
Lin Chen glanced at the surrounding people, secretly estimating in his heart.
Lin Chen didn’t want to leave but was not one to act recklessly.
If the situation looked bad, he would immediately escape.
Because only if he escaped would Cheng Liang find a way to get out, otherwise Cheng Liang’s mind would be all on Lin Chen, refusing to leave.
"Everyone, let’s not get angry, calm down."
"This place is the Law Enforcement Hall; the surrounding buildings are very valuable. If you fight here, the destruction costs will be high. Though those fines would give me some profit, I don’t want to earn this kind of guilty money."
"So if you all must fight, why not go to the Battle Stage to settle it, instead of here."
As tensions were rising among the crowd, Chen Ji suddenly stood up, smiling as he spoke to Shi An and others.
Cheng Liang had paid many fines, benefiting him greatly, so Chen Ji decided to help Cheng Liang this time.
