Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120 The Situation

Lin Chen watched the spirit crystal tossed towards him, casually caught it, and checked it slightly, amazed by the extremely pure energy it contained.

Lin Chen knew about this object, the spirit crystal; it was an energy ore even purer than a top grade spirit stone, belonging to a rare spiritual ore mine, at least for martial artists below the Creation Realm.

In fact, this spirit crystal was accidentally acquired by Shi Lijian and had always been regarded as a treasure by him. Now, to thank Lin Chen and the others, he took it out since Lin Chen and the others saved his daughter, owing them a debt of gratitude.

In the current situation, not allowing Lin Chen and others to enter the village was for the safety of the whole village, but the debt of gratitude couldn’t be ignored.

"Shi, what do you mean by this? Our benefactors saved our daughter, and you shut them out like this. Do you call yourself human?"

Bai Qing, seeing her husband make such a decision, immediately shouted angrily.

Facing such reproach, Shi Lijian did not say much, although he understood in his heart that acting this way was somewhat ungrateful, it was a matter of absolute necessity. He couldn’t risk the lives of the villagers.

"I understand, we will leave."

Lin Chen glanced at Shi Lijian, put away the spirit crystal in his hand, and prepared to leave.

Towards Shi Lijian’s actions, Lin Chen did not blame him. After all, the village had indeed been attacked by water bandits, and it was reasonable for him to remain highly vigilant.

Even though they didn’t get any information about the water bandits this time, receiving a valuable spirit crystal wasn’t bad either.

Afterwards, Lin Chen and the others intended to leave.

However, Su Lie at this moment stopped Lin Chen.

"Boss, wait a minute, let me think of a way, I happen to have a brother in this village."

Su Lie, stopping Lin Chen, grinned and said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen nodded immediately, recalling that Su Lie had always mentioned having a close brother in Xindi Water City.

Then, Su Lie slowly stepped forward, his gaze falling on Shi Lijian.

"Old Man Shi, is your brother Shi Zhongshan in the village?"

Su Lie looked at Shi Lijian and asked loudly.

Hearing this, Shi Lijian was taken aback, not expecting the stranger before him to know his brother’s name.

"Do you know my second brother?"

Shi Lijian looked at Su Lie and asked in confusion.

He pondered inwardly, thinking that if Lin Chen and the others were water bandits, they wouldn’t know his brother’s name.

"Of course, we are good buddies. Let him come out and see me."

Su Lie said.

"Shi Yan, go call your second uncle."

Shi Lijian looked at his son Shi Yan beside him and immediately said.

If Shi Zhongshan really knew this person, then they are acquaintances, ruling out the possibility of being water bandits.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yan immediately used his movement technique and rushed into the village.

Not long after, Shi Yan returned, followed by a man hobbling with only one leg.

"Brother Su Lie, it’s really you."

Seeing Su Lie’s face, Shi Zhongshan looked delighted and walked hobblingly out of the village.

"Old Shi, how did you end up like this; what’s wrong with your leg?"

Su Lie looked at his former brother, with whom he had a life-and-death friendship, and felt deeply saddened seeing Shi Zhongshan in such a miserable state.

"Alas, Brother Su Lie, it’s already good that I managed to keep my life."

"You might not know, those damn Water Bandits have mobilized collectively and attacked our village thrice, many in our village have died."

Shi Zhongshan said, his expression somewhat sad.

Seeing that Su Lie and others were still outside the village, Shi Zhongshan realized that this was not the place to catch up, and immediately turned to Shi Lijian.

"Elder brother, Brother Su Lie is my life-and-death friend, and absolutely no bad guy. Let them into the array."

Shi Zhongshan shouted.

"Yan’er, quickly open the formation."

Shi Lijian said.

Since Shi Zhongshan knew Su Lie and the others, naturally, he no longer doubted that Lin Chen and the others were water bandits.

Then Shi Lijian flew over to Lin Chen and the others, personally inviting them into the village.

After all, Lin Chen and the others were the saviors of his daughter, and his previous actions were indeed improper.

"I understand, you just went through a battle, it’s only natural to be cautious."

Lin Chen waved his hand and said.

Actually, the reason why Shi Lijian personally invited Lin Chen was because he thought now that he allowed them into the village, maybe he could ask for that spirit crystal back.

Knowing that the spirit crystal wasn’t an ordinary spiritual ore mine but more precious than a thousand top grade spirit stones.

However, Lin Chen only glanced at Shi Lijian, as if pretending not to understand Shi Lijian’s intentions, merely politely asking him to go into the village first.

Kidding, now that such a treasure is in his hands, Lin Chen would not give it back.

At this moment, Shi Yu, seeing her father personally inviting Lin Chen into the village, also showed a look of joy.

At this moment, after Lin Chen entered the village, he swept his gaze over the disciples, noticing that although some of the villagers were seriously injured, their cultivation was not low, with many reaching the fifth level of the Nirvana realm and above.

The entire village had nearly two thousand people; such a force shouldn’t have been bullied by the water bandits Lin Chen defeated before.

Moreover, they also had the advantage of the village’s architecture and a defensive formation, gaining the upper hand in a battle.

Lin Chen slightly frowned, pondering whether other water bandits also came together and participated in attacking Tan Shui Village?

He then inquired with Shi Lijian.

Shi Lijian didn’t hide anything from Lin Chen and others, immediately explaining the situation to everyone.

As expected, as Lin Chen suspected, the water bandits attacking Tan Shui Village weren’t just those led by the bald man with golden teeth; other water bandits had participated too, but they each separated and returned to their own areas afterward.

Suddenly, Lin Chen frowned slightly and then asked Shi Lijian about the strength of the water bandits in the other regions.

After learning that Lin Chen and the others were young heirs from the Four Great Families of Tian Que City, Shi Lijian told them everything without reservation.

Xindi Water City had twelve areas, almost all targeted by groups of water bandits who cooperated in attacking the villages together. Furthermore, the water bandits in the other eleven areas had even stronger cultivation, especially those in Xindi Main City, having five people at the peak of the Nirvana Realm alone.
