Chapter 8: Turning the Tables
The palm technique, once unleashed, feels as if one is immersed in the vastness of a great river, with towering waves visible above and surging tides crashing against the shore all around. This is indeed the unique and unparalleled skill of the Lin family, the Azure Sea Surging Palm
Lin Zhenlei hurriedly asked, his face serious and his entire being radiating an extremely powerful aura. It was evident that Chu Tian's response at this moment was crucial; if there were any issues with his answer, Lin Zhenlei might very well take action.
After that incident, news regarding Chu Mu continued to circulate. Ultimately, it was reported that Chu Mu had been discarded by Duanmu Wuji of the Duanmu family in Tianhuan City, one of the five major cities of the Li Kingdom, and from that point on, he was no longer regarded as a genius
Xiao Yu is dead, and it was killed by a master from the Lin family. I cannot believe it, I cannot believe it, I absolutely cannot believe it
Unexpectedly, the young master, who was previously said to have lost his cultivation, not only successfully restored his abilities but has even become more extraordinary compared to before, surpassing me by half a point. This directly resulted in me being at a disadvantage.
However, if this person is not Chu Mu, then it is equally impossible, because I am very familiar with that face
Who would have thought that on our first meeting today, I would be taken advantage of so directly? Not only was I at a disadvantage, but that scoundrel also maintained a calm and composed demeanor, as if nothing had happened before. It truly infuriates me
This Chu Mu not only restored his cultivation but also displayed such audacity, truly a young calf not fearing a tiger. However, compared to my son Lin Yu, he is simply not on the same level
"Master Chu, what exactly is going on?"
Why did he not take advantage of this fortuitous opportunity to kill Chu Mu, but instead chose to save him? This is clearly illogical and inconsistent with the Lin Yu from his memories in hetushucomcom. Could it be that he has truly developed feelings for the Chu family
Hmm?
Lin Zhenlei felt a stir in his heart and asked lightly, while the threatening expression on his face remained unchanged, even intensifying slightly.
Indeed, it is the Azure Sea Surging Palm. Only the Lin family's Azure Sea Surging Palm could produce such a powerful and profound palm imprint. If it is truly someone from the Lin family who has killed Chu Yu, Lin Zhenlei is instantly filled with despair.
No problem
In fact, at that time, Lin Wan'er had always wanted to meet the young genius who was renowned at the borders of the Nine Cities. Among her feelings, there was even a hint of curiosity and admiration for the talented youth.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhenlei felt a hint of something amiss. What was going on? Wasn't Chu Yu hoping for Chu Mu's demise, so that he could become the first heir of the Chu family and subsequently the future lord of Tianlei City?
At this point, Chu Mu suddenly asked, "Master Lin, do you know what kind of palm technique that is?"
Although it is said that neither party has openly confronted the other at this moment, and Lin Zhenlei's purpose for coming this time, on the surface, is still to propose marriage, everyone knows that this is merely a superficial situation
Lin Zhenlei's heart was bleeding, as his son had once vowed to become an undercover agent, and this matter had only been discussed with him and the senior management of the Lin family.
Chu Mu directly pretended not to see and calmly said: "Just at the critical moment when they wanted to kill me, my good brother, who is also the first genius of Tianlei City, Chu Yu, finally arrived and took action"
As for the actual situation, the two sides have long been irreconcilable, each day hoping that the other might be directly killed in an unexpected incident, or that they might provoke someone they should not have, leading to their demise. However, all of this is futile
Rest assured, I will definitely avenge you
At this moment, Lin Zhenlei also felt a stir in his heart. Just moments ago, the confrontation between Lin Wan'er and Chu Mu was extremely swift; before others could react, it had already concluded. However, as a practitioner at the Yangyan realm, he was able to observe it quite clearly.
At the same time, Chu Mu suddenly raised his head, and a beam of divine light shot from his eyes. He fixed his gaze intensely on Lin Zhenlei, and an overwhelming aura of killing intent immediately enveloped Lin Zhenlei
Indeed, your Chu family is merely a small force among the nine cities at the border; how could it possibly attract the attention of powerful individuals? At this moment, Lin Zhenlei let out a slight cold laugh
At this moment, Lin Wan'er tightly covered her chest, her face revealing a rare hint of shyness. However, when she looked up and saw Chu Mu, who wore a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger and found the situation absurd.
However, within the Canglan Empire, Lin Wan'er of the Lin family surprisingly did not take direct action to kill. It seems that there are some hidden complexities involved in this matter.
That person is indeed from the Lin family of Tianfeng City. You killed my sworn brother, and now you dare to come to the Chu family to propose marriage. Are you openly trying to disgrace the Chu family
Suddenly, at this moment outside the grand hall, a coffin was being brought in. This coffin was exceptionally exquisite and of moderate size, clearly indicating that it was meant for a man. Moreover, it appeared to be relatively new, suggesting that the individual had likely just passed away
Of course, aside from legitimate self-defense, it is also a matter of casually taking some interest. After all, if you wish to harm me, even if you are a stunningly beautiful woman, you must pay the price, for I am Chu Mu, the unparalleled swordsman Chu Mu
Subsequently, Brother Chu Yu also engaged in battle with our family's martial arts to save me, this unworthy younger brother. In the end, he was struck by a powerful palm technique from that opponent.
Chu Mu waved his hand generously, and a cyclone immediately lifted the lid of the coffin. Inside, a youth with a face ashen like death was now lying at an angle, surrounded by debris, clearly having suffered severe injuries previously
Son, I opposed your desire to go undercover back then. Who would have thought that it was actually someone from the Lin family who caused you harm
I want to check it; I must take a look!
I overheard a conversation among several young men there; it turned out that they were all threatened by a group of people and had no choice but to take action against me. Even the reputation of the Chu family could not compel them to break their facade or let me go
Suddenly, a wave of overwhelming killing intent swept through his heart, distorting his will: "I must avenge Xiaoyu!"
Lin Wan'er pouted her lips, glaring at Chu Mu with exceptional anger. However, her beauty was striking, and at that moment, her eyes resembled autumn waters, fixated on this young master of the Chu family. Instantly, those present began to indulge in their own imaginations.
But what does this have to do with Chu Yu
In the years that followed, in order to secure the Chu family’s leadership, Lin Zhenlei can be said to have exhausted all his schemes, even going so far as to enlist the help of the Duanmu family from Tianhuan City to incapacitate Chu Mu. Who would have thought that now it is his own son who has met with death
Lin Zhenlei's face displayed an expression of disbelief, as he murmured to himself, his demeanor already showing a hint of madness. It was evident that the content previously spoken by Chu Mu was simply too shocking for him to accept, and he was unwilling to believe it.
Upon thinking of this, Lin Wan'er's face instantly flushed a deep crimson. He was truly a complete libertine, entirely different from the elegant young man she had imagined.
At the same time, she found it strange, for it was known that during the battle between Young Master Duanmu of the Kingdom of Li and Chu Mu in the City of Heavenly Illusions, Chu Mu's cultivation had been completely destroyed. How could he possibly possess such strength at this moment
It is important to note that even within the empire where Lin Wan'er resides, possessing such cultivation at such a young age is indeed a remarkable achievement. However, for this genius, Chu Mu, it seems rather unremarkable
At that time, Lin Wan'er could also be considered a young girl with considerable talent for cultivation, which led to many young masters flattering her and willingly submitting to her commands.
I never expected that Xiaomu could actually get close to this incredibly charming girl from the Lin family. Compared to my days back then, it's really hard to say who is better.
At the end, Chu Mu's voice suddenly increased in volume, as he began to channel his true essence. At the same moment, the Opening Heaven and Creation Technique and the Chaotic Soul Refining Technique within him operated simultaneously, producing a sound that was immensely grand, akin to the resonance of a great bell.
At this moment, Lin Zhenlei felt a surge of anxiety in his heart, and the ominous premonition he had previously experienced became even more intense. Could it be that the very thing he was most unwilling to believe was truly about to happen
The situation is as follows: last night, I was kidnapped by a mysterious individual and subsequently found myself trapped in a very secretive location
At this moment, a trace of reminiscence appeared on Lin Wan'er’s face. When she first arrived at the Lin family in Tianfeng City for recuperation, she felt an immense curiosity and interest in everything here
He suddenly charged up, violently tearing the boy's upper garment apart, and instantly, a remarkably powerful palm print was revealed
While speaking, Chu Mu was also paying close attention to Lin Zhenlei's demeanor, wanting to see if he still had other hidden agents within the Chu family. If they could eliminate them all at once this time, they would be able to enjoy a period of stability.
Upon seeing the coffin, Lin Zhenlei felt a sudden wave of anxiety in his heart, accompanied by a sense of foreboding. He shook his head vigorously, and then his expression began to grow serious.
As expected of the Lord of Tianfeng City, at this moment from the confrontation between the two, he was able to directly discern the general thoughts in Lin Wan'er’s mind, which can be considered a combination of certain strategies and intelligence inherent to his position. This is also a quality that a city lord must possess.
However, Lin Zhenlei truly lives up to the saying that "the older the ginger, the spicier it is." Upon hearing this, he merely twitched his facial muscles slightly, showing no further expression, and appeared relatively calm.
Once again, it was Chu Mu responding, while Chu Tian at this moment was merely a spectator, simultaneously protecting Chu Mu from Lin Zhenlei, who might suddenly erupt in violence. If that were to happen, Chu Tian would deeply regret it.
What?
Secretly watching Lin Wan'er and Chu Mu, at this moment, Chu Tian was also silently contemplating. If Chu Mu could guess what was on his mind, he would probably spit blood immediately. Is there something wrong? I am merely acting in self-defense
It was also for this reason that when Lin Wan'er first saw Chu Mu, she immediately had the thought of wanting to tease this once-great talent, even choosing to use her own beautiful body.
Lin Wan'er suddenly retreated behind Lin Zhenlei, her face instantly flushed with a deep crimson, the color spreading from her cheeks all the way to her ears. Never before had a man dared to treat her this way; in her memory, there truly had been none.
However, during this process, she gradually heard about a young genius named Chu Mu in Thunder City, who, at the mere age of thirteen, had directly reached the fifth level of body tempering and had also cultivated a high-grade yellow-level technique
