"The Chu Family no longer exists?"

"As expected … It no longer exists! "

Tzu Cheng.

Zhu Ziyang looked at the waiter in front of her with astonishment, but very quickly, a strange expression appeared on her face as she subconsciously looked towards Lin City.

Lin Cheng acted as if he did not see Zhui Qiaozhu's gaze and turned to the waiter, "Why does the Chu Clan no longer exist?"

The waiter smirked and said, "Esteemed guests, this question is too small for me to answer. I just know that about a year ago, the Chu Clan suddenly sold off their property and moved out of the city. From then on, only the Wen Clan remained of the two great clans."

"Then do you know why the Chu Clan suddenly moved away after selling off their property?" Lin Cheng asked.

"How would I know?"

The waiter shook his head, "Esteemed customers, since you know about the Chu and Wen Families, then you must know about the power of these two families. With this lowly one's status, how would you dare to casually inquire about these two families? If they wanted to deal with me, it would be easier than crushing an ant to death. "

Lin City nodded. With the status of a waiter, it was indeed hard to find out the inside information, so he asked again, "Then according to what you said, the only one left in Ci City is the Wen Family. Isn't that the one who stands out?"

"This …"

Hearing Lin Cheng ask about the Wen family, the waiter's expression tightened. He subconsciously looked left and right before smiling, "Honored customers, do you have any other dishes? If not, then this servant will go and order the kitchen."

Lin City and Zhu Ziquan looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes. However, seeing that there were still a lot of guests around, the two of them did not ask any further questions and waved their hands to let the waiter go.

"Little thief, it seems like the current situation in Ci City is as we expected."

Zhu Zi lowered his voice and said.

Lin Cheng lightly nodded his head, "Don't be in such a rush. Let's continue asking around."

The first thing he had to do upon arriving at Ci City was to ask about the current situation of the city.

However, when Lin City and Bamboo Gou arrived at a restaurant and pretended to be foreign merchants, intentionally or unintentionally, they asked the waiter about the situation in Tzu Cheng and got the shocking news.

The Chu Family no longer existed!

The Chu Clan, which was one of the two major powers of Ci City, had suddenly left Ci City a year ago.

This news caused Lin City and Zhu Ziquan to be somewhat astonished, but they were not shocked at all.

That was because they had already expected such an outcome.

In reality, when they left the Chu Family mine with two bags of Spirit Stones, the two of them were already convinced that the Chu Family would either rise up completely, or even suppress the Wen Family to the point where they couldn't even lift up their heads.

Or else, the Chu Clan would no longer exist.

Although a large half of the spirit stone vein was absorbed by the black metal lump with a slight tremble, the remaining half was excavated day and night by Lin City for three to four days, there was still quite a bit of spirit stones remaining.

In fact, Lin Cheng wasn't sure if there were any more spirit stones on the mountain. Even if there weren't, the amount of spirit stones left at that time was more than enough for a clan to rapidly rise to prominence.

Of course, after the news of the Spirit Stone mining lode had been leaked, the Chu Family would definitely not wait for the experts within the family to slowly advance. Once the news spread, the Chu Family would be faced with a calamity.

Thus, before the news completely spread, the Chu Clan only had two choices …

First, immediately find a strong backer, such as a cultivation world sect, such as the large sects that belonged to the sect or the Myriad Sword Sect. If they wanted to protect a mere Chu Family, it would be too easy.

And the price that the Chu Clan had to pay was naturally the spirit stone vein.

But this way, even if the Chu Clan could obtain the protection of the sect, without the Spirit Stone lode, it would not be so easy to continue to grow and expand in the future.

According to Lin City's knowledge, the resources in the cultivation world were also very uneven. If one wanted to become an expert, they must have sufficient resources, but the Chu Clan had already handed over their spirit stones.

Without sufficient resources, how would the Chu Clan rise to prominence?

So Lin Cheng guessed, as long as the Chu Family's Chu Qiuwu's brain was still functioning, he would not choose the first option.

In that case, there was only a second way left.

Before the news spread, they could take the Spirit Stones away as far as they could, far away from this place. They could even hide their names, rely on the Spirit Stones, plus the Chu Clan sold all their assets, it was enough for the experts of the Chu Clan to cultivate in peace.

As long as the Chu Clan did not have strange things like black metal blocks that specifically absorbed spiritual energy, the Chu Clan would not have to worry about resources for cultivation for the next few years, or even over ten years.

Even he felt relieved after hearing that the Chu Family no longer existed. Even his shock was due to the fact that the head of the Chu Family could make such a decisive decision. With such a huge family background and his status as one of the two big powers in Ci City, he gave up just like that.

Not only was Lin Cheng astonished, he couldn't help but feel admiration for the other party as well.

He even thought, if he was Chu Qiuwu, would he be able to make a decision?

However, the Chu Family no longer existed. Currently, the only power in Ci City was the Wen Family. This was not good news for Lin City and Zhu Ziquan.

"If the Wen Family... If he really is my enemy, then everyone in the city is our enemy! " Zhu Ziquan could not help but whisper.

"It's not that serious!"

Lin Cheng shook his head and laughed, "The Wen family does not have as much influence as you think. At the same time, those warriors who do not belong to the Wen family will not fight with us for them!"

If they were to lose the match against the Wen family, then there would definitely be many people who would not be stingy enough to step on them in order to curry favor with the Wen family.

But, if they defeated the Wen family, then other than the dead loyalty of the Wen family, there wouldn't be many people who would be willing to fight with their lives on the line for the Wen family.

This was humanity!

In this new life, Lin City had already seen through all of these things.

Zhui Ziquan pursed her lips, hesitating to speak.

Lin Cheng saw her hesitation and said, "Little girl, don't forget what I told you before. Even if you're soft-hearted and unwilling, you'll have to wait until the truth is revealed. Otherwise, you'll never know the truth, let alone avenge your parents!"

"I know."

Zhuangzi bit her lips. "First, I think Wen Zhongming was the one who killed my biological parents, and then I'll look for evidence. If I can find evidence, then it will mean that our conjecture is correct. Wen Zhongming …" "The murderer!"

Lin Cheng nodded his head, "That's right! If there is evidence, then everything is clear. But if there is no evidence, or if your parents were not found to have been killed by him, then it means that he is not your enemy! "

Rather than making wild guesses, he might as well go and find evidence.

The reason why Lin City brought Zhu Zi to barge into the Chu Family mine and crazily excavate Spirit Stones, then crazily train and raise their strength was because today …

He could do whatever he wanted and even search for evidence without any restraint. He wasn't worried that Wen Zhongming might actually be the culprit behind Bamboo Hill's parents' death. When he found out that they were looking for evidence, he would send someone to capture them or even kill them!

A cultivation base at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm was sufficient to ensure that when they were searching for evidence and searching for the truth behind what happened that year, they would not be disturbed by others, and similarly, they did not need to worry about being captured or killed by others.

In terms of worry, it should be their enemies!

"Little girl, let's go!"

Since they had received the information they wanted, they didn't want to stay any longer.

Their purpose in coming to Tzu Cheng was simple — to find out the truth!

Leaving the inn, Lin City and Apothecary Mu immediately disappeared into the crowd.

An hour later.

Lin City and Bamboo Hill stood in front of a dilapidated, abandoned house, quietly looking at the weather-beaten gate and the wall filled with weeds.

"This is my old home."

Bamboo Shoot suddenly said, sounding a little sad.

Lin Cheng felt a chill in her hand, and clenched her hand tightly. "Little girl, have you asked around …"

"I've been here more than once."

"But most of the time, I only came here to stay for two hours when I felt lonely. At that time, I always thought that everything my foster father told me was true, that he was sworn brothers with my biological father, and because he couldn't bear to see me so lonely and helpless, he adopted me until I met a former neighbor …"

At that time, Zhu Ziyang had also come to this house. However, she had coincidentally met someone who was familiar with her biological parents. It was only from that person that she had learnt that her parents and her adoptive father were not sworn brothers, but enemies with grudges against each other.

"Originally, I didn't believe it. However, afterwards, their actions were truly too …" Zhu Zi shook her head and did not continue.

Lin Cheng shook her hand and understood what she meant.

The things that the Wen family did made Zhu Zi's heart turn cold. At the same time, it also made her realize that the Wen family probably never treated her as a family member.

Especially after hearing her so-called conversation between second brother and the old servant, it made Zhui Ziwei understand that the news that she had been told by someone she knew was very likely to be true.

As a result, Bamboo Forcing did everything she could think of to escape from the Wen Family and Ci City.

Until today, she had returned.

"Big … Big Miss Zhu?!"

Just as Zhu Ziquan was staring at the mottled door in a daze, she suddenly heard a low exclamation not too far away.
