If possible, Lin City did not wish to return to the Lin Clan. With Tan Yulan watching him like a tiger, and Qin Muyang secretly attacking him, the Lin Clan would definitely not be a friendly place.
In the morning, Chen Yongwen agreed that he could stay together to refine pills. Lin Cheng planned to stay here at night and never return to the Lin Clan, but during the day when he was refining pills, he had the strange feeling of being watched by others, which made him wary. In the end, he decided not to stay together and return to the Lin Clan.
Naturally, the shopkeeper did not dare to disobey Lin Cheng's words. He continuously nodded his head and immediately arranged for a carriage to be arranged to send Lin Cheng back. Thus, Lin Cheng did not refuse.
However, before they returned to the main hall, Lin Cheng took out a Origin Recovery Pill and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, if I sell this Origin Recovery Pill, it shouldn't be a violation of the rules right?"
"Sell it to this lowly shop?" The shopkeeper was stunned.
"What, is this not in line with the rules?" Lin Cheng asked.
"No, no, of course not!"
The shopkeeper reacted and hurriedly explained, "Master Lin, these pills are your reward, so they should belong to you. No matter how you deal with them, they are still reasonable. And this humble shop will buy it at the highest price! "
Lin Cheng slightly nodded his head, "Since that's the case, I will sell a Returning Energy Pill."
The Returning Energy Pill was a very common pill and because it was specially crafted by Lin City, the shopkeeper directly bought it at the market price. Lin Cheng did not hold back, he was confident that the effects of the Yuan Dan would definitely be better than the ones sold in the shop.
Lin City had no standing in the Lin Clan at all, not to mention that he didn't even have a single gold coin on him.
He knew that he would not be staying in Dongluo City for long. Once he broke through to the Arterial Circulation Realm, he would go looking for the Azure Flame. Therefore, he had to make preparations in advance.
The carriage stopped outside the Lin Clan encampment. Lin City did not want to attract anyone's attention. Taking advantage of the night, they headed towards their own small courtyard.
As for coming together, Lin Cheng had never thought of hiding his identity. As soon as he entered, he reported Lin Yu's name, because he knew the powers that came together. Even if he didn't say anything, he would be able to find out if he came together.
If everyone knew that he was the Lin Clan's Eldest Young Master, they would believe in him even more.
It wasn't a secret that Lin Yu was bullied by the Lin Clan, as someone with a little investigation would know about it. This would also explain why he didn't get the pill quota from the Lin Clan and instead went to help Guiyi Marquis refine pills to get the reward.
Lin City arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard as these thoughts flashed through his mind.
Aside from the fluorescent stones on both sides of the road, which still gave off a faint glow, the rest of the place was pitch black. He couldn't help but think that no one had discovered that Qin Muyang was already dead.
However, Lin Cheng wasn't worried. Even if Qin Muyang's corpse was found, he had already prepared an excuse beforehand.
Lin Cheng casually opened the door and entered the little courtyard. However, the moment he entered, he was startled. Borrowing the faint light from the Glowing Stone, he saw that there were actually seven to eight people in his little courtyard.
He subconsciously tried to retreat, but just at this moment, a few torches suddenly lit up and the courtyard door behind him slammed shut.
Under the light of the torches, Lin City was able to see the situation inside the courtyard, and his heart sank.
In his small courtyard, he saw a woman sitting on a chair. It was Tan Yulan, and behind her were Lin Xing and several Lin Family martial artists. These people all had unfriendly expressions and were eyeing him with hostility.
Lin Cheng's thoughts raced, but there was no trace of fear on his face. After a slight pause, he clasped his hands together and said, "So it's Second Mother. I thought a thief had entered …"
"How dare you!"
Lin Xing shouted, "Lin Yu, how dare you call my mother a thief?"
Lin Cheng glanced at his cheap younger brother and said indifferently, "Which one of your ears heard me say that Second Mother was a thief? "Someone suddenly appeared in my courtyard in the dark. Everyone would think that a thief had broken into my courtyard. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"You …"
Lin Xing was choked to the point that he was speechless. His face sank as he coldly said, "Lin Yu, I think you're courting death!"
Lin Cheng coldly laughed, "Brother, you have such a great prestige. Do you really not allow me, your brother, to speak?"
"You've only been at the third level of the Rebirth Realm for so many years, do you think you're worthy to be an elder brother?"
Lin Xing contemptuously said, "If I were you, I would have already died from shame!"
Lin Cheng laughed. "I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans to commit suicide. Unless someone tries to assassinate me!"
"You …" Lin Xing was furious, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted.
"Enough!"
Tan Yulan coldly reprimanded him. She stared at Lin Cheng coldly and said, "Lin Yu, let me ask you. Why did you kill Doctor Qin?"
Lin City immediately understood that Qin Muyang's corpse had been found, and Tan Yulan was indeed vicious. Without a second word, she had given him a hat that was used to kill Qin Muyang. This was evidence that he had killed someone.
"I don't understand Second Mother's words." "What do you mean by 'kill Doctor Qin'? I don't know what's going on."
"You don't know?"
Lin Xing took a step forward and shouted, "Lin Yu, Doctor Qin has been in charge of treating your injuries. His death must be related to you. You have nothing to say!"
Lin Cheng sneered, "Brother, are you saying that Doctor Qin is in charge of my diagnosis? This is really strange. Ever since I woke up, I've never met Doctor Qin. I really didn't know that Doctor Qin had ever treated me before! "
Lin Xing's facial expression changed slightly and he could not help but freeze for a moment.
Lin Cheng coldly laughed in his heart. It seemed that although Qin Muyang was the one in charge of treating him, Lin Xing knew that Qin Mu had secretly tried to kill him.
"Lin Yu, Doctor Qin is in charge of treating you. This was personally arranged by the Patriarch. You won't be able to deny it." Tan Yulan said coldly, "The last time Doctor Qin showed up was to check on your injuries. He disappeared without a trace. His body was found deep in the well in the backyard this afternoon. What's your explanation?"
Without waiting for Lin Cheng to speak, she suddenly slapped the armrest of her chair and shouted: "Lin Yu, Doctor Qin has worked hard for my Lin Family for over ten years, but you are actually so vicious. Not only did you kill him, you even threw his corpse deep into the well.
"Someone, come!"
Tan Yulan pointed at Lin City. "Arrest this vicious criminal!"
Huala!
At the same time, the person behind him also reached out his hand towards the back of Lin City's head. His five fingers formed claws, and a strong wind howled through the air.
Lin Cheng's heart sank as he circulated his surging elemental energy. The Seven Stars Cloud-Stepping Steps instantly appeared under his feet and he instantly dodged this grab. At the same time, his hands turned outwards as the Fierce Demon Palm was born.
However, Lin Cheng was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, after avoiding the person behind him, he suddenly kicked open the courtyard door and dashed out in a flash.
From dodging the attack from the person behind them to rushing out of the courtyard, Lin City's movements were fluid and smooth, causing the people in the courtyard to not be able to react at all. By the time they realized Lin City had run away, Lin City had already traveled dozens of meters away.
"Chase!"
Tan Yulan shouted angrily, "Capture him!"
She was extremely furious in her heart. If she let Lin Yu escape, she would inevitably be in trouble.
Even though Patriarch Lin Hu had given up on his son that had never grown up, he was still Lin Hu's son. If Lin Hu was alerted, it would be difficult for him to kill Lin Yu, and at that time, even if he confirmed that Lin Yu had killed Qin Mu Yang, he would not be able to kill Lin Yu.
If Lin Hu were to see her secretly leading people to kill Lin Yu, it was very likely that she would be blamed.
He had to kill Lin Yu without alerting anyone. Only in this way would he be able to frame a crime against Lin Hu. At that time, even if Lin Hu had doubts in his heart, he would not say anything.
"I'll go kill him!"
Lin Xing saw that Lin Yu had actually escaped and shouted.
Tan Yulan saw her son chase after Lin Yu, but she didn't stop him. Lin Yu was just a waste at the 3rd level of the Rebirth Realm. Even if he was older than Lin Xing, he would only be able to run away in front of him.
Outside the courtyard.
Lin Cheng desperately circulated the Yuan Power in his body and executed the Cloud Stepping Steps with all his might. He pushed his speed to the limit and his eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
He knew Tan Yulan had always wanted to harm him, so he had deliberately cleaned up the traces of the battle with Qin Muyang and threw Qin Muyang's body into the well. He had thought that even if Tan Yulan suspected that he was the culprit, without any evidence, she would not be able to do anything to him.
However, he did not expect Tan Yulan to be so vicious and impatient. She had actually forced the blame on him and was about to take action.
Right now, it was already night. The city gates of Dongluo City had already closed, so it was impossible for them to escape.
Moreover, there was someone chasing after him from behind. Furthermore, his speed was extremely fast, so he wouldn't be able to escape.
"To the main hall!"
Lin Cheng immediately made his decision. Since he could not escape, he would look for Lin Hu in the main hall. He did not believe that Lin Hu would helplessly watch as his son was killed.
Even if Lin Hu was truly so vicious, Lin City still had other means of reliance, but the prerequisite was that no matter what, he must not fall into Tan Yulan's hands.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
A shout came from behind him. The frontmost warrior was only a dozen meters away from Lin City.
A glint of light flashed past Lin Cheng's eyes. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly halted his steps and turned back. Not only did he not flee, he even dashed towards that person.
"Let's see where you can run to!"
As a martial artist at the ninth level of the Rebirth Realm, he could break through to the Arterial Circulation Realm at any time. Facing Lin Cheng, who was only at the third level of the Rebirth Realm, it was still as easy as reaching out with his hands.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were about to collide with each other. That person abruptly threw out a punch, he believed that this punch alone would be sufficient to break all the bones in Lin Cheng's body.
Upon seeing that Lin Cheng didn't even try to dodge, as though he wanted to clash head on with him, he couldn't help but to laugh coldly in his heart.
Swish!
Suddenly, just as that person's fist was about to land on Lin Cheng's body, Lin Cheng's body grew in size, and an afterimage appeared behind him. Lin Cheng dodged Lin Cheng's fist, and at the same time, both of his hands flipped outwards, both of his palms slamming onto that person's abdomen.
The Fierce Demon Palm, which had already gathered all of Lin Cheng's Yuan Power and was ready to strike at his vital points!
Ah!
"Pfft!"
The man screamed miserably as he was sent flying. He coughed up a mouthful of blood in mid-air before heavily falling to the ground, fainting on the spot.
Having succeeded in one move, Lin City immediately fled far away and once again widened the distance between them and the pursuers.
