Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Classification of Treasures

"All right, since Junior Nephew Lin Chen’s inheritance is a Blood Oath Inheritance, let’s leave the matter at that. Whatever treasures Junior Nephew Lin Chen has acquired, he does not need to hand them over to the Sect anymore. There’s no need to bring this up again."

Upon hearing that the inheritance Lin Chen obtained was indeed a Blood Oath Inheritance, Xu Ma’an immediately stood up and spoke out.

With these words, Hong Yanbing dared not retort any longer.

If anything were amiss with Lin Chen, the Jade Cauldron Sect would have lost a disciple who had received an ancient ruins’ inheritance. After all, as long as Lin Chen did not fall, he was bound to become the backbone of the Jade Cauldron Sect. At present, with only the Second Layer of the Melding Earth Realm in cultivation, his Divine Soul could already contend with warriors from the Reverting Void Realm, which indicated how formidable his future achievements could be.

Xu Ma’an and the others had already decided in their hearts to groom Lin Chen as the future Sect Leader.

Given the inheritance that Lin Chen had received, it was feared that even without the Jade Cauldron Sect, he could still rely on himself to grow and one day become a formidable entity.

However, during this process, the Jade Cauldron Sect had provided Lin Chen with nothing.

When the time comes, if Lin Chen wishes to leave the Jade Cauldron Sect, the Sect will not have any hold over him.

Therefore, they must now do everything possible to make Lin Chen develop a fondness for the Jade Cauldron Sect, such as arranging for him to be the future Sect Leader’s successor.

Xu Ma’an had already had some ideas about this in his heart and planned to discuss it with a few Junior Brothers later.

After dealing with Lin Chen’s affairs, Xu Ma’an and the others told him that he could leave. However, at this moment, Xu Lianyu stood up and dropped a bombshell—that Hong Yanbing’s senior disciple, Xu San, attempted to take advantage of Zhao Yijing while she was injured in the ruins. Had it not been for Lin Chen’s sudden appearance, Xu San would have succeeded.

"What? That old coot’s disciple dared to bully Yijing?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuemin’s fury soared, and she glared daggers at Hong Yanbing.

"Old coot, if you don’t give me an explanation today, I will flatten your Purple Cloud Peak!"

Yang Yuemin roared angrily. As soon as she spoke, the faces of Xu Ma’an and the other Peak Masters changed.

No one thought that Yang Yuemin was joking; when the old witch goes mad, leveling a mountain might be considered just a minor disturbance.

"This... Lianyu, you must not speak recklessly. Is there evidence for this matter?"

Xu Ma’an quickly stood up, glancing at his granddaughter with a stern look.

He was now somewhat headache-ridden, with a little witch as his granddaughter and an old witch as his Junior Sister, making his role as Sect Leader extremely taxing.

"There were other Senior Brothers from the Sect present at the time. If the Sect Leader calls them here and questions them one by one, the truth will be known."

Lin Chen was also indignant and spoke up, wanting to seek justice for his Senior Sister.

At the ruins, Lin Chen initially wanted to kill Xu San. However, to his surprise, it wasn’t Xu San’s time to die, and the Stone Sculpture Puppets failed to take his life.

Later, the opportunity was lost, and there was no longer a chance to kill him openly.

Now that they were back at the Jade Cauldron Sect, Lin Chen naturally would not let go of the opportunity to deal with Xu San right then.

Before long, Xu Ma’an sent a message to summon some of the disciples who were present that day.

Actually, even without sending a message to summon those disciples, Xu Ma’an and the various Peak Masters already knew that what Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu had said was the truth. After all, they had heard a bit about Xu San’s way of doing things within the Sect, but they had turned a blind eye considering his decent talent and status as an elite disciple of the Sect, as long as he didn’t go too far.

But who could have expected that this guy would actually set his sights on Jade Bird Peak.

Now, no one could save him. Under the oppressive aura of Xu Ma’an and the many Peak Masters, the summoned disciples didn’t dare lie and narrated the events of that day.

"Outrageous! He really has the audacity of the heavens. Issue an order to deal with Xu San according to the Sect’s rules. Have the Law Enforcement Team take him to the Scorching Sun Cave and confine him for a month. If he’s still alive after a month, we will let the matter rest,"

Xu Ma’an said furiously, clearly very angry and not just putting on an act for Yang Yuemin, Lin Chen, and others to see.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yanbing’s lips moved slightly, as he wanted to say something in defense of his disciple but ultimately chose to remain silent.

He knew very well that Xu Ma’an’s decision was a reminder to him that one should not go too far in the Jade Cauldron Sect, it was a warning for him.

Afterward, Lin Chen and Xu Lianyu happily left the Council Hall and headed towards Jade Bird Peak.

They knew that this time, Xu San was likely to lose half his life if he didn’t die.

Within the Jade Cauldron Sect, it was well-known that the harshest punishment was being thrown into the Lava Cave. Inside, the scorching heat and violent fire-attribute spiritual power were unbearable even for martial artists to withstand for half a day, let alone a month.

"Even with Xu San’s cultivation, staying in the Lava Cave for a month would be excruciating,"

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, you were really clever today, purposefully taking out those lower-grade treasures to toy with that old codger. You didn’t see how furious he was, his beard was practically bristling, it was so satisfying,"

Back on Jade Bird Peak, Xu Lianyu shared her delight with Lin Chen about the scene where he played Hong Yanbing in the Council Hall.

Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled faintly and then turned to look at Xu Lianyu, his lips slightly moving.

"My dear Senior Sister, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. When did I toy with Peak Master Hong?"

After speaking, Lin Chen headed towards the Treasury of Jade Bird Peak.

Following that, Lin Chen sent a message to call over several Senior Sisters.

Before long, Zhao Yijing, Liang Rou, and others arrived.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, why did you call us to the Treasury? You know well enough the state of Jade Bird Peak; there’s nothing in our Treasury, it’s utterly empty,"

Zhao Yijing and the others said. However, Lin Chen just smiled indifferently and then widespread his hands.

"Starting today, our Treasury will have something stored in it; it won’t be empty anymore."

"We obtained so many treasures from the Ancient Ruins, many of which we don’t even know the attributes and effects. It’s better to take them out for categorization, then store them in the Treasury, so that everyone can come and take what they need when necessary,"

After saying this, Lin Chen began taking out the treasures he acquired in the Ancient Ruins.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yijing and the others had no objections and started taking out the treasures they had gotten from the Ancient Ruins.
