Chapter 269: Chapter 269: Fearless, Confronting Head-On

"Enough, there’s no need for further dispute, call apprentice nephew Lin Chen here and let him decide how many treasures he is willing to give to the Sect,"

Xu Ma’an saw that the two were constantly arguing and immediately spoke up.

Once he had spoken, Yang Yuemin and Hong Yanbing quieted down and did not speak further. As the Sect Leader and their senior brother, his decision was naturally not something anyone dared to contradict.

At this moment, on Jade Bird Peak.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, the master has sent a message asking you to go to the main peak’s Council Hall."

Xu Lianyu arrived at Lin Chen’s residence and conveyed the message.

Shortly after, Lin Chen emerged from his seclusion. By the time Xu Lianyu reached the courtyard, he had already sensed her presence.

Since it was a summons from Yang Yuemin, Lin Chen of course was going to go.

"Senior Sister, do you know what the master and Sect Leader want with me?"

Lin Chen turned to Xu Lianyu and asked. In fact, Lin Chen already had a rough idea why Yang Yuemin and Xu Ma’an would summon him.

However, to better prepare for the encounter, he still asked.

After all, Xu Lianyu was the granddaughter of Sect Leader Xu Ma’an, so she naturally had ways to find out some reasons.

"I’ve already asked the disciple Grandfather sent for. Those old coots have actually set their sights on you, even wanting to divvy up the treasures on you. They are simply not putting our Jade Bird Peak in their eyes."

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, come with me to the main peak. I want to see how that old coot Hong Yanbing thinks he can take treasures from you. That bastard Xu San bullied senior sister, and I haven’t settled the score with him yet."

Upon seeing Lin Chen come out and hearing his inquiry, Xu Lianyu immediately grabbed Lin Chen and flew towards the main peak, Jade Cauldron Peak.

After a short while, Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu arrived at the great hall.

Because Xu Lianyu was the granddaughter of Xu Ma’an and a True Disciple of Jade Bird Peak, naturally no one dared to stop her.

"Apprentice nephew Lin Chen, I’ve heard you obtained quite a few treasures from the ruins. The Sect has taken great care of you over the past year. You should take out some to repay the Sect,"

As soon as Lin Chen arrived, Hong Yanbing got straight to the point.

No sooner had he spoken than anger rose again in the hearts of Xu Lianyu and Yang Yuemin. They were about to react when they saw a cold smile appear on the corner of Lin Chen’s mouth. He took a few steps forward and then gestured grandly with his hand.

A dozen treasures immediately fell to the ground with a series of clangs.

Lin Chen was very clear that everyone knew he had received the highest heritage from the ruins. From the moment he left the ruins and returned to the Sect, Lin Chen had already considered this issue.

But these fellows wanted to get Lin Chen’s treasures for nothing, which was not going to be so simple.

Seeing the treasures fall to the ground, the various Peak Masters immediately cast their eyes towards them and after scrutinizing them, their expressions changed.

"Impossible, how could the highest heritage from the ruins be only this? And what are these? They’re all scrap metal, merely Profound Grade Low-Level magical treasures. How could they possibly be the highest heritage from the ruins?"

After inspecting the treasures that Lin Chen had taken out, Hong Yanbing immediately stood up from his seat and spoke up.

The other Peak Masters also cast meaningful looks at Lin Chen, wanting to know what he was up to.

"Oh? How do you know that these are not the highest heritage treasures from inside the ruins, Master Uncle Hong? Have you seen them with your own eyes? Since Master Uncle couldn’t even enter the ruins, you probably have no idea what’s inside, right?"

Lin Chen looked at Hong Yanbing, opening his mouth without the slightest fear to question him.

Upon hearing that, Hong Yanbing’s face showed disdain, and he flicked his sleeves dismissively.

"Hmph, although I have never been inside, I do indeed know the situation therein. My disciples from Purple Cloud Peak have reported back that it’s all treasures above the Profound Level, even Earth-grade magical treasures. They have all obtained some Profound Grade High-Grade magic treasures. You received the highest inheritance, how could you possibly only have Profound Middle Grade treasures."

Hong Yanbing snorted coldly.

After he spoke, Zhao Rushi and Li Xuanming immediately understood the reason behind Lin Chen’s actions.

"Oh, so the disciples of Master Uncle have even obtained Profound Grade High-Grade treasures. Then, may I ask Sect Leader, did the disciples of the Second Peak hand over any treasures?"

Lin Chen took a step forward, his gaze piercing straight into Hong Yanbing. Although his question was directed at Xu Ma’an, the stance he took was clearly meant for Hong Yanbing to see.

"This..."

"They have not handed over anything!"

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Xu Ma’an understood Lin Chen’s intentions. This youngster was clear-headed in his dealings, and even when facing a Reverting Void Realm powerhouse, he had not a trace of fear in his heart, truly possessing a distinctive kind of mettle.

"Hehe, since that’s the case, then I also have no reason to hand over any treasures, right?"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he once again reached out with a grand gesture, taking back into the Spatial Ring the dozen or so treasures he had laid out on the ground.

"Presumptuous! How can you, a junior, wantonly break the rules of the Sect? We, as Peak Masters of the Sect, have the right to make demands on our disciples. The inheritance you obtained in the ruins must be handed over today, no matter what."

Angered into embarrassment by Lin Chen’s actions, Hong Yanbing’s formidable Reverting Void Realm aura suddenly bore down on Lin Chen.

Yang Yuemin, Xu Ma’an, and the others had no time to react. They had never anticipated that Hong Yanbing, being a Peak Master, would strike at a junior at the Melding Earth Realm.

Although it was merely a Divine Soul oppression, Lin Chen might well be injured because of it, and they were too late to intervene and stop it.

"Hmph, does Peak Master Hong intend to kill me to seize my possessions?"

Seeing that Hong Yanbing was actually using Divine Soul to oppress him, Lin Chen didn’t show any weakness either. He immediately stepped forward, releasing an equally immense Divine Soul attack that collided head-on with Hong Yanbing’s.

Wuuum—

The collision of Divine Souls within the hall triggered an explosive show of power. Invisible flames of energy emanated from the two of them, spreading outward and impacting everyone inside. They all began to channel their Spiritual Power to resist.

"What!?"

"This guy’s Divine Soul is so powerful, it can actually rival Hong Yanbing’s?"

Inside the hall, everyone was immensely shocked, their faces full of astonishment as they looked towards Lin Chen.

"Boy, why is your Divine Soul so strong?"

In the midst of the clash between Divine Souls, Hong Yanbing was forced to take two steps back, shocked to his core. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes that this Divine Soul attack came from Lin Chen himself, he might have thought the attack was launched by a Martial Artist of the same realm.

"The inheritance I’ve obtained is the Blood Oath Inheritance. Even if you desire it, you cannot obtain it, and killing me would be pointless."

After Lin Chen spoke, Xu Ma’an and the others fell into a brief contemplation. Then, Xu Ma’an, Li Xuanming, and the rest looked at Lin Chen with a newfound fervor.
