This sudden scene caused the few people who were chasing after him to stop in their tracks. Two of them stayed behind to check on their companions' injuries while the rest increased their speed to catch up. Lin City had already run far away.
"The eldest young master actually …"
"What a heavy palm!"
When the two martial artists in charge of inspecting the injuries of that person saw their companion's injuries, they were simultaneously shocked. This kind of injury was definitely not something that a mere martial artist at the third level of the Huai Body Realm could deal with.
"What happened? Why did you stop?" Tan Yulan also caught up, asking harshly.
"Madam, eldest young master is an expert!" Someone quickly replied.
"What?"
Tan Yulan was shocked. When she saw the injury of the person on the ground, her face immediately turned green, and under the weak light of the fluorescent stone on the roadside, she looked even more ferocious and scary. "This little bastard, he's actually hiding his strength! Chase! We must kill him! "
"Yes, Madam!"
The Second Madam was a merciful and vicious woman. If they offended her, they would definitely suffer a terrible fate. The other martial artists didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly chased after her.
Tan Yulan stood at the back, watching them disappear into the night, her face ashen. "Lin Yu, no matter what, you have to die today!"
"Originally, you were only at the third level of the Rebirth Realm, but I've always felt worried about you. I never thought that you would really have hidden your true strength, and even more so, I can't allow you to live in this world!"
Tan Yulan muttered to herself coldly, "In the competition half a year later, the champion must be Xing'er, and the apricot fruit must also be Xing'er's …"
At the same time, Lin City was desperately rushing towards the main hall, but his physical consumption was also huge. At this moment, the Yuan Power in his body was almost depleted, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
As long as he saw Lin Hu, he would have room for manoeuvre.
Normally, Lin City would not be sure where Lin Hu was, but it was already night time. Lin Hu would definitely be resting in the bedroom at the back of the main hall, Tan Yulan and her men would be chasing after him, so the main hall would definitely have no one to stop him.
But at this moment, the pursuers were already very close. He was still a distance away from the main hall. If he was caught up to, the only road left for him was death.
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth as a stern look flashed across his face. He suddenly stopped his steps and quickly took out a Yuan Recovery Pill from his chest and swallowed it. At the same time, he continued to execute the Seven Stars Cloud-Stepping Steps.
A martial artist had already caught up to him. Seeing Lin Cheng's palm attack, he immediately raised his hand to block it.
"Bam!"
The duo's bodies trembled.
This person's strength was way beyond his, it was very likely that he had already entered into the realm of Arterial Circulation. Luckily, he was able to push his opponent back by two steps with that powerful palm attack, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Cheng gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran again.
This Fierce Demon Palm was extremely powerful, but it also consumed a large amount of soul force. Even in peak condition, Lin Cheng's entire body's soul force could only produce three to four palm strikes. Now, after running away for a while, he had injured another martial artist with his full strength.
But at this moment, the Returning Energy Pill had already begun to take effect. The strong effect caused Lin Cheng's body to replenish some of his elemental energy. His feet once again sped up as he finally rushed forward.
However, at this time, the warriors behind him had already caught up and were flying towards his head.
Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and rolled on the ground. At the same time, he shouted, "Intruder! Enemy attack!"
Boom! *
In the next moment, he felt a heavy blow on his back, and his entire body was sent flying. At the same time, a heart-wrenching pain nearly suffocated him.
Lin Cheng's heart chilled. The difference in strength was too great. Even if he was at his peak state, he would still be injured by that palm strike. Not to mention that he was currently so weak. If the opponent were to strike again, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, a man's voice was heard. The warrior was startled and quickly left.
Lin Cheng felt a surge of relief in his heart. Unable to hold on any longer, he fainted.
A surge of warmth flowed through his body as Lin City gradually opened his eyes, allowing him to clearly see the scene before him.
He was in the main hall where he had just fainted. There were now a few people in the main hall, Tan Yulan, Lin Xing, and a few martial artists chasing after him.
Lin Cheng was shocked. He tried to get up, but a heart-wrenching pain came from his back, causing him to groan in pain. He then sat back down. Only then did he realize that he was sitting on a chair.
"You're awake?"
Suddenly, a man's voice sounded out. "Lin Yu, your second wife said that you killed Physician Qin Muyang. What do you have to say for yourself?"
Lin City looked towards the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair, looking at him with a dark expression.
Lin Hu!
This middle-aged man was the Lin Clan's Patriarch, Lin Hu.
Seeing Lin Hu, Lin Cheng's heart let out a breath of relief. He was able to wake up from his coma and not get killed. Furthermore, Tan Yulan and the rest did not attack him again. This meant that Lin Hu did not intend to kill him.
Lin Cheng was secretly afraid, luckily he refined the Returning Essence Pill, otherwise he would not have been able to see Lin Hu today.
"I was too careless!"
Lin City was a little regretful. He did not expect Tan Yulan to be so impatient to kill him.
"Husband, look at him. He has nothing else to say. It's clear that he was the one who killed Doctor Qin."
Tan Yulan saw that Lin City was silent, so she immediately said, "He's so vicious at such a young age. Doctor Qin did his best to treat him, but he repaid the debt of gratitude with hatred. Such a vicious person really cannot be left alive!"
Lin Hu, upon hearing this, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He stared at Lin Cheng and coldly said: "Lin Yu, on behalf of your dead mother, I will give you a chance to defend yourself. Speak, why did you kill Doctor Qin!"
Tan Yulan also shouted at the side, "Lin Yu, Doctor Qin is a guest of our Lin Family. If you say you want to kill him, you will kill him. How will outsiders view our Lin Family?"
"Ha!"
Gritting his teeth, he sat up straight with difficulty and sneered, "Second Mother, you kept saying that I killed Doctor Qin. I want to know what Doctor Qin's cultivation level is, and what cultivation level am I at. Can I kill him?"
Tan Yulan said coldly, "You are cunning and deceitful. You must have used some trick to ambush Doctor Qin."
Lin Cheng slowly shook his head, "If Second Madam really wants to kill me, you can just say so. There's no need for you to put in so much effort."
"What did you say?"
Tan Yulan looked like she was being stepped on. She said angrily: "Lin Yu, you're saying I framed you?"
Lin Cheng said, "Isn't that so? As long as one isn't a fool, one can imagine that I haven't fully recovered from my injuries. Furthermore, the disparity between my strength and that of Doctor Qin's, how could I possibly kill him? Second Mother's scheme is not to frame me, but what? "
"How dare you!"
Tan Yulan was furious.
"Alright!" Lin Hu let out a low growl and interrupted the argument between the two. His gaze fell onto Lin Cheng as he asked: "Lin Yu, did you really not kill Doctor Qin?"
A resolute expression appeared on Lin Cheng's face. "I have nothing to say!"
This was something he had already thought of long ago. The disparity in strength between him and Qin Muyang was enormous. Not only that, the entire Lin Clan knew that he had just received a heavy injury, even fools would be able to determine that he couldn't kill Qin Muyang.
He believed that Lin Hu would naturally be able to tell, so he did not say anything and only said that Tan Yulan had framed him.
"Husband, look at him …"
"Is that your explanation?" Lin Hu ignored Tan Yulan and asked Lin Cheng.
"Yes." Lin Cheng nodded his head.
Lin Hu was silent, after a moment, he seemed to have made a decision as he said in a deep voice: "Lin Yu, although you are my Lin Hu's son, Doctor Qin is a guest of our Lin Family and is not someone you can simply kill. If we do not deal with you then the other guests will feel cold and they will not be able to explain themselves to Doctor Qin's family."
Lin Cheng's pupils abruptly constricted. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lin Hu speak again.
"As such, from now on, you are no longer a member of my Lin Clan, and you are no longer my, Lin Hu's, son!" "Regardless of whether it is your family members who seek revenge on you or your enemies outside, this has nothing to do with my Lin Clan." Lin Hu said in a deep voice.
Lin Cheng asked in astonishment, "You want to expel me from the Lin Clan?"
"That's right!"
Lin Hu nodded his head and expressionlessly said.
Tan Yulan's eyes flashed with joy. To the side, Lin Xing couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"Alright!"
Lin Cheng nodded his head and said: "Since that's the case, from today onwards, I no longer have any connections to the Lin Family. From now on, Lin Yu is no longer in the continent of the Nine Prefectures. "Lin City!"
"Why don't you change your surname as well!" Tan Yulan laughed coldly.
"My name is Lin City, why should I change it?" Lin Cheng coldly snorted. Then, he gritted his teeth and stood up with difficulty, "Since I no longer have any relationship with the Lin Family, we will part ways here!"
Lin Cheng could see that Lin Hu wanted to protect him, but in the end he did not reveal it. Perhaps expelling him from the family was a form of protection for him, or perhaps, Lin Hu did not care about his life and death and treated him as his son.
However, even if Lin Hu wanted to protect him, expelling him from the family was clearly giving up on him. At the very most it would only cause him to lose his position as the successor of the Lin Xin Clan and he would barely be able to keep his life.
Obviously, in Lin Hu's heart, Lin City was already insignificant. If they weren't father and son, Lin Hu might not even care about his life.
Lin City did not care about this at all. His greatest joy was not being able to return to Lin City.
After inspecting his injuries, Lin Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Although the palm strike was heavy, the bones in his back were not broken, and he had only suffered some internal injuries. For other martial artists, this might be fatal, but for Lin Chen, with the Energy Recovery Pill, his life would be safe.
After leaving the Lin Family, Lin City did not leave any harsh words. However, he remembered everything that had happened today. Everything that Tan Yulan had brought to him, one day, he would repay it a hundredfold!
He urgently needed to heal, but he knew that this was the most dangerous time of the day. Who knew if Tan Yulan would send someone to secretly kill him, so he wanted to get as far away as possible before Tan Yulan's men caught up with him.
