Chapter 1731 - 1732: News of the Marriage Gathering
Just as Wu Jiu was preparing his grand move, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation behind him.
"Damn it, not good!" Wu Jiu's expression changed drastically, his body shot backward, but it was too late.
Mu Tian appeared like a bolt of lightning from the sky, landing a direct blow to Wu Jiu's chest.
Bang!
Wu Jiu's body shot backward, and just as he landed, three groups of people swarmed over, placing cold swords against his neck.
Mu Tian flew forward, sealing Wu Jiu's acupoints, then lifted him up, standing on a tall rock.
A cold voice echoed across the world: "Your leader has been captured by us. Surrender and live, continue resisting and die."
This voice resounded like thunder, causing all the martial artists of Heavenly Witch Mountain to tremble in spirit.
They had never fought such a frustrating battle.
Clearly they outnumbered their opponents, yet it felt like each time they were fighting against six or seven people.
After this prolonged battle, Heavenly Witch Mountain was a spent force, and seeing their leader captured further dissipated their morale.
These bandits of Heavenly Witch Mountain were originally outlaws gathered from various regions, none truly willing to risk their lives.
"We surrender!"
With a thud, a large group of them dropped to their knees.
Seeing this, Tian Jiao finally let out a long breath.
"We finally won."
The battle was over, and a total of two thousand seven hundred people from Heavenly Witch Mountain were captured. Lin Chen led his men to open the treasure vault of Heavenly Witch Mountain and was stunned.
This time, they really hit the jackpot.
The treasure vault was filled with golden spirit stones, and even some rare and exotic treasures.
Tian Jiao, Lin Chen, and Mu Tian all displayed bright smiles.
With these resources, they wouldn't lack money for a while.
Wu Jiu was pushed into the central hall.
But to Wu Jiu's surprise, the person sitting on the dragon throne wasn't Wu Jiu, but another young man.
This young man was only in his twenties, with a handsome face.
How could it be possible that the leader of the other side was such a young person?
Wu Jiu also showed an expression of disbelief.
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Wu Jiu, right? Sorry for taking over your mountain gate."
Wu Jiu's eyes flashed with venom: "Kid, since this old man has fallen into your hands, kill if you want, why so much nonsense."
Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Kill you? How could I bear to? You are a peak Immortal Emperor, after all!"
"What exactly do you want?" Wu Jiu's eyes coldly stared at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Submit to me."
"Hmph, are you worthy?" Wu Jiu snorted coldly.
"Slap!" Mu Tian, standing beside Wu Jiu, slapped him across the face.
"Kid, how dare you insult our boss."
Having long dominated Heavenly Witch Mountain, Wu Jiu had never suffered such humiliation.
He gritted his teeth, intending to sever his veins, but suddenly he felt a beam of golden light shoot into his mind.
If Wu Jiu were in his peak condition, Lin Chen couldn't directly seize his soul, but now Wu Jiu was already severely wounded.
Hit by the golden light, Wu Jiu's originally arrogant expression vanished without a trace.
"Master!"
Wu Jiu knelt down on one knee.
Witnessing this, many were secretly surprised.
Wu Jiu, renowned for his madness in the Immortal Realm, now knelt and begged for mercy under Lin Chen's intimidation. It was unbelievable.
Lin Chen nodded and said, "Very well, cooperate with Tian Jiao to train the recently captured bandits."
Although they captured quite a few bandits this time, Lin Chen knew these bandits had a criminal nature. Without rigorous training, controlling them would be difficult.
At this moment, a figure walked into the hall.
"Master!" The person entering was the Skeleton Immortal.
Seeing the Skeleton Immortal, Lin Chen was delighted and asked eagerly, "Skeleton, do you have any information?"
During this period, both the Skeleton Immortal and the Black and White King of Law had been positioned by Lin Chen in the Immortal City, monitoring Zhao Xiaowen's situation.
"Master, the Zhao family suddenly issued a public announcement that the marriage invitation has been advanced."
"What?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
"When?" Lin Chen asked.
"In three days," the Skeleton Immortal said in a deep voice.
Lin Chen nodded: "In three days? That also works."
Three days, with the addition of the time prison, meant that these martial artists of Heavenly Witch Mountain would undergo training equivalent to three months.
Three months were sufficient to train a new army.
Looking at the sand table, Lin Chen said coldly, "In three days, eliminate the Immortal Mansion and occupy the Immortal City."
The Mu family of Immortal Mansion held considerable sway in the entire Immortal Realm, but since they set their sights on him, Lin Chen was determined to make them pay.
...
In front of the Immortal City, Lin Chen gazed at the imposing Immortal City, taking a deep breath.
His woman was waiting for him in the Immortal City.
"Xiaowen, wait for me, only I am your man."
Many people were entering the Immortal City today, and many were handsome young men.
Their sole purpose was to catch a glimpse of Zhao Xiaowen, the number one beauty in the Immortal Realm.
"Tsk tsk, I heard that the little girl from the Zhao family is a rare beauty. I must see her this time."
"Haha, if I could win the heart of a beauty, it wouldn't be a wasted life."
"You better save it. Don't you know her husband has already been predetermined, the eldest son of the Mu family."
"Ah, it seems we can only feast our eyes."
Listening to the chatter around, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Upon entering the Immortal City, the Black and White King of Law had already booked a hotel for them.
"Master, today the Zhao family is inviting young nobles from various major families. I got an invitation for you."
"Not bad!" Lin Chen nodded satisfied.
Lin Chen was eager to see Zhao Xiaowen as soon as possible.
"Master, through our investigation, the Mu family is up to no good. Every year, the Mu family recruits a batch of maids into their mansion, but these maids disappear without a trace. Later, we found out that their clan leader, Mu Yuan, uses those women as a catalyst for his training, absorbing their pure yin energy."
"Do you mean the Mu family wants Zhao Xiaowen for the same reason?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Ms. Zhao possesses phoenix bloodline, her pure yin energy is thousands of times stronger than other women. If we're not mistaken, Mu Yuan is about to break through to reach the level of God Sovereign, and Ms. Zhao is the final catalyst for his breakthrough," Skeleton said.
"Crack!"
The cup in Lin Chen's hand shattered.
"Bastard!"
"Does the Zhao family know about this?" Lin Chen asked coldly.
"The Zhao family probably doesn't know. They just said to have Ms. Zhao marry into the Mu family. The Zhao Family Head dotes on Xiaowen, so if he knew, he definitely wouldn't agree," said the White King of Law.
Lin Chen nodded. The Mu family targeting his woman had already hit Lin Chen's reverse scale. These bastards wanting to use Xiaowen as a catalyst was something he couldn't tolerate.
"Mu Yuan, Mu family, targeting my woman is the most foolish decision you've ever made."
