Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: The Su Family Conflict

All those present felt puzzled; Lin Chen’s Cultivation was clearly only at the Second Layer of Nirvana Realm, so why did he possess such formidable combat power?

"What do you require to let Su Niu go?"

Su He coldly gazed at Lin Chen and asked.

He had already realized that Lin Chen was not an easy adversary; hence, he had no choice but to soften his stance now.

After all, Su Niu was their subordinate. While such talents were not rare in their lineage, to let Su Niu die at Lin Chen’s feet while they stood by and did nothing would be chilling. What would their other followers think?

Therefore, Su He proposed that Lin Chen spare Su Niu.

Lin Chen did not say much, only responded with a faint smile, and then forcefully twisted his toes.

"Ah..."

The agonizing cries of Su Niu immediately echoed.

The surrounding crowd, hearing Su Niu’s miserable screams, couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, afraid to contemplate whether Su Niu’s head would crack open if Lin Chen applied more force.

Clearly, Lin Chen meant for Su Niu to kowtow and call him "grandfather" - after all, it was Su Niu who had initially proposed this.

"Grandfather... I... I was wrong, I beg of you, please spare me. I was blind and failed to see your greatness, offending you, please let me off as if I were nothing but a fart."

Su Niu felt his head about to crack open and hurriedly pleaded for mercy, seizing the chance to speak.

However, upon hearing these words, Lin Chen did not lift his foot, instead continuing to press Su Niu’s head into the ground.

Lin Chen believed that this was also a testament to his formidable strength; had it not been for his power far surpassing these people, his fate might have been far more tragic.

"Su Yun, as the Young Master of the Su Family, you stand by while an outsider bullies one of your own, how can you still have the face to be our Young Master."

Seeing that Lin Chen had no intention of sparing Su Niu, Su He turned to blame Su Yun instead.

Since he had received orders from Young Master Su Dongyu, he would seize every opportunity to prevent Sui Yun from becoming Young Master.

"Heh, how can you call it bullying? Don’t you see he is now grateful to kowtow to my boss and recognize my boss as his grandfather?"

"Do you think he’s unwilling and does not wish to become my boss’s grandson?"

Su Yun coldly retorted to Su He.

Su Yun’s words caused Su Niu’s body to tremble violently, not from the pressure of Lin Chen’s feet, but due to the fear induced by the exchange between Su Yun and Su He.

If they continued to discuss like this, Lin Chen might really crush him to death in his anger.

"No, I am willing, truly willing to be the grandson, to serve you as grandfather, please spare me, grandfather."

The chubby man struggled violently, hastily explaining himself.

Hearing this, Su He was at a loss for words. Since Su Niu had already said this much, he had no grounds to blame Su Yun anymore.

Lin Chen, hearing these words, finally lifted his feet, kicking the chubby man away, having lost interest in the matter.

After all, this fellow could act as someone’s grandson today, but someone else’s great-grandson tomorrow; for Lin Chen, this was undeniably demeaning.

"Scram!"

Lin Chen gave the chubby man one last look; the man quickly kowtowed several more times before hastily fleeing the scene.

Lin Chen did not kill Su Niu because he did not want to get involved with the Su Family’s internal struggles. Moreover, though Su Niu was arrogant at first, he eventually kowtowed and called him grandfather. Killing Su Niu would just dirty his hands.

"Boy, you’ve got guts. Just wait, the Su Family won’t let today’s matter slide."

Su He coldly eyed Lin Chen, leaving this remark before he, too, fled with the others.

Although he had left a harsh message, Su He could see that Lin Chen was a tough opponent.

If Lin Chen really turned hostile, they might not all escape unscathed.

The emergence of Lin Chen had already disrupted their scheme. Initially, even if the Magical Beasts couldn’t kill Su Yun, they themselves could have taken action. But now, even if they made a move, they could not kill Su Yun.

Su He felt the need to report this change to Young Master Su Dongyu as soon as possible.

After Su He and the others left, Lin Chen continued forward, preparing to set up a Formation. But no matter where he went, Su Yun kept following him relentlessly like a sticky plaster.

Lin Chen had intended to kill Su Yun, but seeing Su Yun’s sycophantic behavior, he could not bring himself to do it.

"What exactly is it? Spit it out."

Lin Chen, unable to shake Su Yun off, finally spoke and asked.

Although Lin Chen wanted to set up the Formation quickly to return to the Eastern Domain, with his current Formation expertise, plus the resources at hand, it would take at most three days.

Since Su Yun was persistently following him with a purpose, it wouldn’t hurt Lin Chen to listen and get a head start on the situation in Central State.

After all, Lin Chen would have to come to Central State later on and look for Yu Weilian.

However, Lin Chen only planned to listen to the Su Family’s matters without deciding to intervene just yet.

Hearing Lin Chen finally relent, Su Yun was overjoyed, feeling that he had not misjudged the person.

Setting aside his family’s affairs, he told Lin Chen the whole story.

It turned out that although Su Yun’s cultivation Talent was not excellent, his father was a powerhouse in the Creation Realm.

While his father was powerful, even though Su Yun was mediocre in cultivation, the members of the Sect treated Su Yun with great respect due to his father’s strength, whether from the direct line or collateral lines.

However, six years ago, his father visited the Capital City, Dragon City, in Cloud Dragon Kingdom, and after returning, he contracted a Cold Poison illness, his Cultivation became unstable, and he went into Seclusion for years on end, only emerging after the fifth year.

In those five years, there were many speculations within the clan about his father’s health, some claiming his father had been crippled and lost his past strength. Consequently, many started to covet the position of Su Family Patriarch, and Su Yun’s status as Young Master was also threatened.
