Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: Stripped Bare
Therefore, when faced with the choice between maintaining the Heaven Hall’s reputation or ensuring their personal safety, the disciples around chose the latter.
Some even took a few steps back upon seeing the people from Heaven Hall being beaten, fearing that Lin Chen would involve them too and give them a beating.
Lin Chen only stopped when Shi An was beaten to the ground, then a cold smile appeared on his lips as he started to search the beaten disciples from Heaven Hall.
The crowd watched Lin Chen’s actions and became curious.
"What’s this guy doing?"
"I heard someone say that this guy surnamed Lin has a special hobby, interested in both men and women, tsk tsk..."
"No way, this young man is so handsome; he can’t be that kind of person."
"Who knows, the saying goes: you can know a person’s face but not their heart. This guy only has Fifth Level Cultivation of the Nirvana Realm, yet his combat power is terrifyingly mysterious and unfathomable."
"..."
The people around discussed Lin Chen’s behavior endlessly.
Only Zhang Hongying, in the distance, vaguely guessed what Lin Chen was doing.
Back then, when her brother offended Lin Chen, he got taught a lesson, stripped, and had all his treasures taken away.
It seems these fellows before us are going to repeat the same mistake.
As Lin Chen was rummaging Shi An’s body, he quickly found a magic treasure.
Then, in front of everyone, Lin Chen stored the magic treasure he found on Shi An into the First Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.
Of course, in everyone’s eyes, it looked like Lin Chen put it into the Spatial Ring on his finger.
"No way, no way, this guy actually dares to rob Heaven Hall people."
"It seems like that’s really the case; this guy robbed Shi An?"
"This guy is too bold; isn’t he afraid of completely offending Heaven Hall? Robbing people from Heaven Hall is certainly going to ignite a feud, and then Heaven Hall will stop at nothing to retaliate against him."
"As true as that may be, though, his actions are quite satisfying. After all, since Heaven Hall people treated him that way, he retaliated and beat them up one by one, surely sowing a feud that Heaven Hall will undoubtedly seek revenge for, so he might as well take the opportunity and grab a haul."
...
Amid the endless discussions, Lin Chen didn’t care, wandering among the Heaven Hall crowd, looting the treasures from everyone.
Zhang Caiyun and Cheng Liang were stunned watching Lin Chen’s bold move, utterly shocked.
Very soon, Lin Chen plundered all the magic treasures from the unconscious Heaven Hall disciples.
Yet he wasn’t done, continuing to prepare to strip the vestments from the others.
"Lin Chen, how dare you act like this."
Shi An, not fully unconscious, suddenly realized that Lin Chen was tugging at his clothes.
This jolted him awake with a fright, staring at Lin Chen in terror.
Lin Chen tugged forcefully but couldn’t remove the vestment robe on Shi An.
"Let go quickly."
Lin Chen looked at Shi An and said coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion.
For someone like Shi An, Lin Chen had nothing more to say and felt no sympathy.
When Lin Chen decided to take action against Shi An, it was destined to make enemies.
Lin Chen wasn’t one to seek trouble, but when someone came looking for it, he certainly wasn’t going to be polite.
"Final warning, let go."
Lin Chen looked at Shi An and said with a cold expression.
"I won’t."
Shi An replied, though unclear as to why Lin Chen wanted to strip him of his vestment, he couldn’t allow it.
It’s a joke to be stripped of a vestment robe in front of so many people; who can endure such humiliation?
"If you don’t let go, your arm will be broken too."
Lin Chen said coldly, clearly not joking.
Hearing this, Shi An was filled with fear.
In the end, he let go, unwilling to risk both of his hands.
Although one hand was injured, it wasn’t completely broken and could recover with some elixir.
But if he didn’t let go, Lin Chen’s attitude clearly showed he wouldn’t spare him, and his arm would end up broken, and his vestment would still be stripped.
So, he dared not resist.
Then, Shi An closed his eyes, seemingly attempting to convince himself that Lin Chen wasn’t humiliating him.
After Shi An closed his eyes, Lin Chen immediately stripped him down to just his underwear.
For Shi An, Lin Chen had no mercy; this guy had repeatedly caused trouble, even eyeing Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui.
Yu Weilian was Lin Chen’s woman, and for that alone, Lin Chen wouldn’t spare him.
As for Yang Minghui, though she wasn’t Lin Chen’s woman, she was a friend.
If Yang Minghui had willingly liked someone else, Lin Chen would’ve gladly let her develop that relationship.
But since these people tried to force Yang Minghui, Lin Chen would never allow it.
Lin Chen hadn’t planned to deal with Shi An and his group so soon, but since they came looking for trouble, he had to settle it.
Very soon, Lin Chen had stripped Shi An completely, leaving only his underwear.
Besides Shi An, none of the Heaven Hall disciples who came to cause trouble were spared; they were quickly stripped.
The crowd’s eyes fell upon Shi An and those Heaven Hall disciples, making Shi An wish he could dig a hole and hide inside.
"Lin Chen, this is not the end between us!"
Shi An clenched his fists, filled with rage and intense hatred towards Lin Chen.
Yet, he dared not show it in front of Lin Chen, for who knows what Lin Chen would do next?
Zhang Caiyun was shocked, knowing who Shi An was.
In the Outer Sect’s Heaven Hall, apart from those great powers in seclusion, Shi An held the highest status.
Yet now, Shi An had all his magic treasures taken by Lin Chen and was stripped of his vestments in full view...
