Chapter 715: 715 Chapter The Destiny of the Zhao Family
As Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division and others were gathering their troops, preparing to head for the Luoyun Mountain Range, various family powers in the Outer City of the Formation Sect were shocked upon hearing the news that Lin Chen had received a first-class meritorious service order.
The Zhao Family, however, was terrified.
You see, the status of a first-class merit was on par with the Ten Great True Disciples and even the Law Enforcement Elder. This news, released by a Law Enforcement Elder, could not be false.
Zhao Zhongchuan had made a name for himself within the Inner Sect of the Formation Sect, and originally thought that by becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, the Zhao Family had stabilized their position within the Formation Sect.
Zhao Zhongtian even believed that as long as Zhao Zhongchuan became an Inner Sect Disciple, their family could take back Divine Sun City and once again become the rulers of the Great Flame Dynasty.
However, it now seemed that this idea was unachievable. Lin Chen’s status was terrifyingly equivalent to the Ten Great True Disciples, and if the Zhao Family became his enemy, it would be like an egg smashing against a rock.
Zhao Zhongchuan had just made a breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, becoming the only Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse in the Zhao Family. After emerging from seclusion, he eagerly wanted to share this good news with his father.
However, when he met the elders of the Zhao Family, their faces were troubled, as if Zhao Zhongchuan’s breakthrough wasn’t something to celebrate.
Upon inquiring, Zhao Zhongtian learned that during his seclusion, not only had Lin Chen broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm, but he had also been awarded the first-class meritorious service order.
This made Zhao Zhongtian feel resentful, but more so, fearful.
"Alas, this is the fate of our Zhao Family!"
"Issue an order that from today forward, no one within the Zhao Family is to speak ill of Lin Chen, and never mention taking back Divine Sun City again; the current situation is already the best outcome."
Zhao Zhongtian sighed and immediately ordered the elders. Though everyone understood that this was for the future of the Zhao Family, what they feared even more was that if Lin Chen decided to take revenge on the Zhao Family, all members, including Zhao Zhongchuan, would face annihilation.
"Could this make him spare us?"
Zhao Zhongtian and the elders began to worry, fearing that Lin Chen would not easily let them go since they had tried more than once to kill him. If their positions were reversed, the Zhao Family would certainly show no mercy. At this moment, Zhao Zhongtian and the elders felt extremely uneasy.
Zhao Zhongtian suddenly thought of someone—Zhao Lingxi. Perhaps he could ask Lin Chen, for Lingxi’s sake, to turn a blind eye to the Zhao Family.
"Brother Wang, could you find a way to contact Lingxi?"
In his helplessness, Zhao Zhongtian had no choice but to pin his hopes on Zhao Lingxi, hoping that with her intervention, Lin Chen might spare the Zhao Family.
"What do you want with Lingxi? Ever since I came to the Formation Sect with you, I have cut off contact with her."
Zhao Yuntian looked at Zhao Zhongtian with an indifferent gaze.
In fact, he had no wish to involve his daughter in the strife of the Zhao Family again; the tangled interests of the Zhao Family had nothing to do with Zhao Lingxi.
Back then, when Zhao Yuntian chose to go into business and let Zhao Zhongtian inherit the throne, he had decided to sever ties with the Royal Family. Now that the Zhao Family had fallen to such a state, if it wasn’t for Zhao Lingxi’s plea, Lin Chen would have already made a move against them.
Lin Chen had promised Zhao Lingxi that as long as the Zhao Family stopped provoking him, he would wipe the slate clean of past grievances.
But if the Zhao Family caused any further trouble, Lin Chen would show no mercy.
Zhao Yuntian knew in his heart that over the past year, he had still maintained contact with Zhao Lingxi.
He was aware that Zhao Lingxi was doing well in the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, even surpassing the former Wanxing Commerce Association.
For a descendant of the Zhao Family, it was no easy feat to establish a foothold in the Jade Cauldron Kingdom.
Now Zhao Zhongtian was hoping that Zhao Lingxi could plead to Lin Chen on their behalf, but Zhao Yuntian worried that this would anger Lin Chen, as the Zhao Family once tried to kill him.
"Brother Wang, the Zhao Family is in a difficult situation now. Could you ask your niece to say a few good words to Lin Chen on our behalf, to ensure the Zhao Family’s safety?"
Zhao Zhongtian revealed his intentions to Zhao Yuntian. As expected, they hoped that Zhao Lingxi would go and plead for them.
"Let me think about it!"
Zhao Yuntian replied in a neutral tone, then left the Zhao Family’s Council Hall.
Watching Zhao Yuntian’s retreating figure, Zhao Zhongtian’s expression turned ashen. He understood that Zhao Yuntian did not care about the life or death of the Zhao Family.
"Don’t think I don’t know about that little harlot’s relationship with Lin Chen..."
Zhao Zhongtian watched Zhao Yuntian’s back and snorted coldly, murmuring a curse under his breath.
Lin Chen’s relationship with Zhao Lingxi was extraordinary. Lingxi’s talent for cultivation was not exceptional; if there wasn’t some unspeakable deal between them, why would Lin Chen let her hold an important position within the Jade Cauldron Sect and enjoy abundant cultivation resources?
Zhao Zhongtian learned that over the past year, Zhao Lingxi had sent back quite a few cultivation resources to Zhao Yuntian, which filled him with jealousy.
If those resources had been his, he would have already broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm.
Jealousy towards Zhao Yuntian surged in Zhao Zhongtian’s heart, and a malicious plan began to take root.
