Chapter 1742 - 1743: The Crisis at Fairy Sword Mountain Manor
Zhao Ze and Chu Yunfei have a good relationship, so the Mu family is going to great lengths to establish ties with the Zhao family at this critical moment.
After all, the Zhao family is also very powerful in Immortal City.
If they can get the Zhao family to join their side, Fairy Sword Mountain Villa would be as good as theirs.
"Chu Yan'er, Chu Qing, why don't you stay with us in the Zhao family for now? With me here, no one can harm you." Zhao Ze said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Zhao. After all, Fairy Sword Mountain Villa is our home and my father is still there, so I must return." Chu Qing replied seriously.
"But now Fairy Sword Mountain Villa is in grave peril..." Lin Chen said, a bit worried.
Chu Qing smiled and said, "According to the rules of Fairy Sword Mountain Villa, even if something happened to my father, the position of the head should be inherited by me. If I hide here, wouldn't that just play into the Zhao family's treacherous hands?"
"But wouldn't that make you even more dangerous?" Lin Chen asked.
"It's because it's dangerous that we must go back."
"Alright, be careful, you two." Lin Chen sighed, seeing that he couldn't persuade them, and allowed them to leave.
"Lin Chen, thank you for saving my sister and helping our Fairy Sword Mountain Villa so much during this time." Chu Yan'er expressed her gratitude to Lin Chen.
"It's nothing, really. I was also doing it for myself, and saving your sister was a matter of fate for us." Lin Chen said with a smile.
"Without you, perhaps our Fairy Sword Mountain Villa might already be gone."
Chu Yan'er gazed at Lin Chen, thought for a moment, and said: "Well, Lin Chen, if... never mind."
Just as she was about to speak, Chu Yan'er suddenly stopped.
Then, Chu Yan'er directly boarded the unicorn cart.
Even though Chu Yan'er didn't say anything, he still knew what was on her mind.
Just now, Chu Yan'er wanted Lin Chen to help their Fairy Sword Mountain Villa.
But now that Fairy Sword Mountain Villa was in such dire straits, whoever got involved faced potential death.
Lin Chen had already helped Fairy Sword Mountain Villa so much, she couldn't bear to ask Lin Chen to risk danger again.
Watching the unicorn cart depart into the distance, a warm smile flickered at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.
"Silly girl, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Zhao Ze stood beside Lin Chen and sighed.
This time, with the Mu family and the Grand Elder together, those two girls are probably in a dire situation.
Lin Chen, however, said: "Uncle Zhao, I hope you can help me this time."
"Help you?" Zhao Ze was momentarily stunned.
When Lin Chen revealed his thoughts, Zhao Ze was astonished.
"So, you want to annihilate the Immortal Mansion and become the lord of Immortal City?"
Zhao Ze didn't expect his prospective son-in-law to have such great ambitions.
However, Zhao Ze perhaps didn't realize that Lin Chen's goal wasn't just the small Immortal City; his aim was the entire Immortal Realm.
At that moment, a disciple from Fairy Sword Mountain Villa rushed in frantically.
He looked extremely disheveled, even covered in blood.
"You must be Mr. Lin." The Fairy Sword Mountain Villa disciple inquired.
"I am indeed. Is there something?" Lin Chen's heart tightened upon seeing the person wearing the Fairy Sword Mountain Villa's attire.
"Mr. Lin, our young master sent me to tell you that something has happened at Fairy Sword Mountain Villa. The Grand Elder has acted, and with the Mu family, they've taken control of the entire villa, killing anyone who opposes them without mercy, and even detaining the head of the villa." The man said anxiously.
"What? I didn't expect the Mu family and the Grand Elder to act so quickly."
But Chu Qing and Chu Yan'er are on their way back to Fairy Sword Mountain Villa.
Without a doubt, once they arrive at Fairy Sword Mountain Villa, they will definitely be controlled by the Mu family and the Grand Elder's people.
"Uncle Zhao, I shall first head to Fairy Sword Mountain Villa." Lin Chen said solemnly.
"You're going alone? Let me send some people with you." Zhao Ze said, a bit concerned.
Considering Fairy Sword Mountain Villa is like a dragon's den now, how could Zhao Ze be at ease letting Lin Chen go alone?
After all, now that Lin Chen is his prospective son-in-law, if anything were to happen to him, not only would Xiaowen be heartbroken, but he would also feel a sense of regret.
Lin Chen shook his head: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, but this is my personal matter; I should handle it myself."
"But entering Fairy Sword Mountain Villa on your own might be suicidal." Zhao Ze advised.
Though Lin Chen has demonstrated great strength, he is still facing two famously renowned entities in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Mansion and Fairy Sword Mountain Villa.
Lin Chen gave a slight smile: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
With that, Lin Chen boarded a unicorn cart and headed toward Fairy Sword Mountain Villa.
Zhao Ze took a deep breath as he watched that departing silhouette: "Lin Chen, you must come back alive."
...
Fairy Sword Mountain Villa, a place filled with the scent of blood.
The Grand Elder and the Mu family's martial artists controlled the villa,
killing anyone who showed the slightest dissent.
In just over an hour, nearly a hundred martial artists lay dead.
Chu Yan'er and Chu Qing had just stepped off the unicorn cart when two martial artists from Fairy Sword Mountain took them into the villa.
Seeing that all the guards inside the villa had already been replaced by the Mu family, Chu Qing realized that Fairy Sword Mountain Villa was finished.
The two were taken to the conference hall, where Mu Yuan, the head of the Mu family, looked at them with a mocking smile.
"Chu Qing, Chu Yan'er, I didn't expect you both to dare to return." Mu Yuan said coldly.
"This is my home, why shouldn't I dare to return?" Chu Yan'er retorted angrily.
"Good that you've returned. Our ancestor just needs some beauties as a catalyst for his elixir, and you two are the perfect ingredients." Mu Yuan let out a cold laugh.
Damn it, these bastards are so ruthless, actually using women to cultivate their techniques.
Chu Yan'er and Chu Qing's faces turned grim.
"Where's my father? What have you done to him?" Chu Qing asked.
The Grand Elder chuckled coldly: "He is well enough now, carefree, isn't that fine?"
"Carefree!"
Hearing this, Chu Qing and Chu Yan'er's expressions grew increasingly dark.
The Grand Elder clapped his hands, and soon, two martial artists escorted Chu Yunfei inside.
Chu Yunfei's eyes were vacant, devoid of his former pride.
"Father!" Chu Yan'er and Chu Qing hurried over.
They tried to awaken Chu Yunfei, but despite their efforts, he showed no response.
"Damn it, how did this happen?" Chu Yan'er gritted her teeth and said.
"You bastards, what did you give my father?" Chu Yan'er shouted in anger.
The Grand Elder smiled faintly: "To the victor go the spoils. I just used some nerve-numbing drugs on your dad."
"Damn you, Grand Elder! You're from Fairy Sword Mountain Villa, yet you betray your sect, kill my disciple, imprison the head of the villa, my sister, and I won't let you go."
"Haha, just you two? You're far too weak. Young Master Mu, how about these two girls as your slaves?" The Grand Elder laughed heartily.
(This is the last chapter for tonight, another will be added in the morning, so don't wait any longer.)
