Chapter 92: Crying Counts as Part of the Time

In front of the Lin Family manor, a dense circle of people knelt.

The Lin Family’s six Lunhai Realm experts had one dead and five heavily injured.

In strict terms, it should have been two dead.

The Martial Artist whose arms had been shattered by Chen Yuan’s Xuantian Finger earlier had also had his internal organs severely damaged by the powerful finger force; it was clear he wouldn’t survive.

Lu Wenxing and the others had already entered the Lin Family home to search, but they found no trace of Feng Xieyun.

“Weren’t you all shouting about being wronged before? Now that we’ve caught you red-handed with the evidence, do you still feel wronged?”

Chen Yuan sneered, walked up to Lin Yingying, and said indifferently, “Speak up. When did you join the Blood God Cult, and where is Feng Xieyun?”

Lin Yingying gave a cold snort. “Kill me if you have the guts! I will absolutely never betray Brother Cloud!”

Chen Yuan smiled at Lin Jingcheng. “Your daughter’s mouth is quite stubborn. As her father, did you really not know she was colluding with the Blood God Cult?

Actually, this isn’t just collusion anymore. She has learned the Blood Scripture; she can already be considered a Disciple of the Blood God Cult.”

Lin Jingcheng knelt on the ground, looking at Lin Yingying with a mix of resentment and disappointment.

He had doted on this daughter the most, but he never expected that she would bring such a massive disaster upon the Lin Family!

His Lin Family dominated Pianguan City, and with their numerous offspring and decent talents, why would they ever need to get entangled with those lunatics from the Blood God Cult?

Who would have thought his own daughter would do something so audacious!

“Yingying! What on earth is going on? Why did you collude with the Blood God Cult? How did you dare to collude with the Blood God Cult!”

Lin Jingcheng was heartbroken, but more than that, he was bewildered.

He had indeed raised this daughter to be somewhat arrogant, but he gave her whatever she wanted; why did she still need to collude with the Blood God Cult?

Lin Yingying gave Lin Jingcheng a guilty look. “Father, I am not colluding with the Blood God Cult. I am simply in true love with Brother Cloud.

Those so-called young masters of noble families and Jianghu elites from Linzhong Prefecture that you usually introduce me to cannot even compare to one of Brother Cloud’s toes!

Brother Cloud is exceptionally brilliant; he is a top-tier elite of the Jianghu, a dragon among men!

As long as I help him become the sole Saint of the Blood God Cult in the future, once he takes command of the cult, our Lin Family will also soar to the heavens!”

Hearing Lin Yingying’s words, Lin Jingcheng was so angry he nearly spat blood.

The Saint of the Blood God Cult was someone who fought his way out from among countless young elites; of course he was an elite figure, a dragon among men.

But the problem was that getting involved with them meant people would die!

And even if he truly took command of the Blood God Cult in the future, how could he possibly look upon you with favor?

Although Lin Jingcheng doted on his daughter, he was also very self-aware.

His daughter’s arrogant personality wasn’t great, and her looks could only be described as passable.

Relying on the Family’s influence, marrying into a power around Linzhong Prefecture would have been fine, but aiming any higher was unlikely.

Who would have thought she was still dreaming such a beautiful dream, dragging the entire Lin Family down with her.

“Foolish! You are so foolish!”

Lu Li, who was pinning Lin Yingying down, couldn’t help but shake his head.

To be stuck with such a daughter, the Lin Family truly had eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Chen Yuan said indifferently, “You won’t live to see the day the Lin Family soars. Stop wasting time and confess everything you should confess.”

Lin Yingying glared at Chen Yuan. “Just kill me! Brother Cloud will avenge me in the future!”

“Tsk, quite the devoted lover.”

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly. “What’s the point? Maybe he’s just using you.”

Lin Yingying sneered twice, completely indifferent to Chen Yuan’s provocation.

Chen Yuan sighed and said, “I am a person who values Jianghu rules the most. I never indiscriminately kill the old, weak, women, or children. Using torture on a woman would also seem a bit too lowly.”

Lin Yingying looked at Chen Yuan in surprise. She hadn’t expected that although this Chen Yuan acted ruthlessly, he actually had some principles.

But in the next moment, Chen Yuan dragged a person out from the crowd of Lin Family members.

“Which branch of the Lin Family are you from?”

The person was about to answer when Chen Yuan shook his head. “It’s not important.”

As soon as he spoke, Chen Yuan’s blade fell, and a head instantly hit the ground.

Chen Yuan pointed the tip of his blade at Lin Yingying and said, “He died because of you.”

Lin Yingying screamed shrilly, “Didn’t you say you don’t kill the old, weak, women, or children?”

“But they aren’t the old, weak, women, or children; they are Jianghu scum colluding with the Blood God Cult.”

While explaining, Chen Yuan pulled out another person, and with one stroke of the blade, another head fell.

Since Lin Yingying wouldn’t talk, Chen Yuan began to behead them slowly.

After the Lin Family members surrendered, their Dantians had been sealed, making it impossible for them to resist. They could only wail and beg for mercy, but it didn’t change the outcome at all.

“You bastard! Scoundrel! Shameless Devil Head!”

Lin Yingying cursed as she broke down.

In truth, she wasn’t very familiar with most of the Lin Family members being killed. She was from the main branch, and those dying were from the other branches.

But these people were all dying because of her. Every time Chen Yuan killed one, he let the head roll to her side.

Looking at those heads with eyes that wouldn’t close in death, Lin Yingying’s heart couldn’t stop turning cold.

Seeing Chen Yuan killing people at random and not knowing if they would be next, the other Lin Family members suddenly broke down and began to curse loudly.

“Bitch! It’s because of you that our Lin Family has met with this great disaster!”

“Speak! Hurry up and speak! You bitch, are you going to just watch our Lin Family die?”

“To protect that scoundrel from the Blood God Cult, you bitch would actually watch us die? Even as ghosts, we won’t let you off!”

They didn’t dare curse Chen Yuan, so they directed their frenzied curses at Lin Yingying.

At this moment, Chen Yuan pulled out a young Martial Artist. The youth was shaking with fear and shouted at Lin Yingying, “Sister! Save me! Save me!”

Lin Jingcheng also shouted with bloodshot eyes, “Yingying, speak quickly! Speak! Are you going to just watch your brother die?”

This young Martial Artist was indeed Lin Jingcheng’s son, Lin Yingying’s half-brother who had grown up with her.

A look of struggle and hesitation appeared on her face, but in the next moment, Chen Yuan’s blade had already fallen, killing him with a single strike.

“You monster! You damned monster!”

Lin Yingying seemed to have collapsed, howling and weeping bitterly.

“I’m a monster? Then what is the Blood God Cult, which uses people as Medicinal Pills? With your trash talent, you’ve already reached the entry level of the Blood God Cult’s technique. Don’t tell me you haven’t absorbed others’ Qi and blood—are you not a monster then?”

Chen Yuan sneered and had Fei Bin pick out another Martial Artist from the Lin Family’s main branch; this time it was Lin Yingying’s older brother.

“Stop crying. Crying counts as part of the time.”

Chen Yuan’s blade fell again, and a head instantly hit the ground.

Lin Jingcheng’s face was already devoid of color.

He only had these two sons, yet both had died because of his daughter.

“Your heart is quite hard.”

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, and this time he walked directly toward Lin Jingcheng with his blade raised.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yingying finally couldn’t hold out any longer.

“Don’t kill my father! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you everything!”

Lin Yingying’s body slumped to the ground, as if all her strength had been drained away.

This scene not only chilled the hearts of the Lin Family, but even the members of the Town Martial Hall present looked at Chen Yuan with a hint of fear.

They had killed many people, but they had never witnessed such ruthless methods as Chen Yuan’s.

With each stroke, Chen Yuan wasn’t just cutting off Lin Family heads; he was cutting down Lin Yingying’s state of mind.

Forget a woman like Lin Yingying; if it were them, they probably wouldn’t have been able to endure it either.

Wu Bingjian and Lin Hongxiao exchanged looks, both feeling some lingering fear.

Fortunately, they hadn’t said anything too excessive before, nor had they fallen out with this Lord Chen like Fei Bin had.

The thought of being an enemy to such a ruthless and powerful figure made their hearts tremble.

“Good, you still have a bit of a conscience. Tell me everything about you and Feng Xieyun.”

Seeing that she had completely broken down, Chen Yuan finally lowered his blade and looked at Lin Yingying.

Lin Yingying sobbed, “Two years ago, my father wanted me to marry the legitimate son of the Wang Family from Beiguan City in Linzhong Prefecture. When that fellow saw me, he couldn’t even speak clearly; naturally, I looked down on such trash.

After a fight with my father, I went out to clear my head and happened to meet Brother Cloud. I fell in love with him at first sight.

Brother Cloud didn’t hide his identity as a Blood God Cult Disciple from me, so I have been using the Lin Family’s resources to provide him with Qi and blood.

And Brother Cloud was also extremely good to me. Knowing my cultivation was poor, he even took the initiative to teach me the Blood Scripture and guided me carefully.”

Chen Yuan was speechless after hearing this. He didn’t know if this woman was just blinded by love or simply brainless.

Feng Xieyun taught her the Blood Scripture for her own good? That was to completely control her and ensure she had no way back!

However, Feng Xieyun was being entirely too cautious.

Even if he hadn’t taught her the Blood Scripture, with a brain like Lin Yingying’s, there wouldn’t have been any problems.

“So where is Feng Xieyun now? Do you know of anyone else hidden in Linzhong Prefecture, or even Ning Province?”

“Brother Cloud’s Qi and blood were heavily depleted earlier. He is currently recovering from his injuries on Yan Hui Mountain, about ten miles north of Pianguan City. Every few days, I would send him some Martial Artists to help him restore his Qi and blood.

Those Martial Artists were all recruited by my Lin Family, some unimportant Retainers whom I tricked into going out under the guise of missions.

Besides Brother Cloud, there is another person from the Blood God Cult in Linzhong Prefecture. He is an elderly Lunhai Realm Martial Artist whom Brother Cloud calls Uncle Kou.

A year ago, when Brother Cloud became the Saint of the Blood God Cult, Uncle Kou was likely a servant sent to Brother Cloud by the cult.

Aside from them, I don’t know any other members of the Blood God Cult.

However, I heard Brother Cloud mention that there should be a Blood God Cult Hall Master with a higher status than him here in western Ning Province.

Brother Cloud’s acceptance of me into the Blood God Cult was also approved by him, but I have never seen this person.”

After saying all this, Lin Yingying slumped directly to the ground with a sorrowful expression.

At this moment, she still felt that she had betrayed her beloved for the sake of her Family’s lives, and her heart was in immense pain.

Chen Yuan nodded and turned to Fei Bin. “Lord Fei, the Lin Family’s people will be left for you to deal with.”

Lin Jingcheng’s expression immediately changed. “Lord Chen! Yingying has already told you everything she knows; why do you still want to strike at my Lin Family?”

Chen Yuan said indifferently, “Don’t slander me. I never said I would kill you. I’m not the Garrison Commander of Pianguan City; whether you live or die has little to do with me.”

As he spoke, Chen Yuan looked at Fei Bin with a faint smile. “Lord Fei, you are the Garrison Commander here. Whether the Lin Family lives or dies is, of course, for you to decide.

I am a man of my word, so naturally, I won’t step in to kill them. But if you insist on doing so, I certainly won’t stop you.”

Fei Bin’s expression flickered between light and dark. Then, he suddenly waved his hand and said coldly, “Kill! Leave none alive!”

With Chen Yuan and the others present, the Lin Family naturally submitted to their fate.

But if he gave the Lin Family a way out now, and once Chen Yuan and the others left, the Lin Family recovered its strength, would there be any good outcome for him?

Therefore, it was better to completely wipe out the Lin Family now to eliminate any future troubles!

Accompanied by the falling of blades and the struggling curses of the Lin Family, the scene was instantly turned into a river of blood.

“Liar! You’ll die a horrible death!”

Lin Yingying struggled continuously in Lu Li’s grip, looking at Chen Yuan with venomous eyes and screaming incessantly.

Lu Li asked Chen Yuan, “My Lord, how should we handle this woman?”

Lin Yingying’s status was special; she was not only a member of the Lin Family but also a Disciple of the Blood God Cult. He didn’t dare make the decision on his own.

“Kill her, of course. Why would we keep a demon of the Blood God Cult around? I only said I wouldn’t torture her; when did I say I wouldn’t kill her?”

Chen Yuan had a matter-of-fact expression.

Lu Li nodded and directly ran Lin Yingying through with his blade.
