Chapter 145 - 8 Old Dog

Chapter 145: Chapter 8 Old Dog

Zhu Jiyi’s old eyes brimmed with tears as he looked at Lin Yuan standing before him, his heart a mix of emotions.

In such a critical moment, only Lin Yuan dared to step forward.

Yet Lin Yuan was merely half a disciple to him.

"Good!" Zhu Jiyi closed his eyes and steeled his heart, "Lin Yuan, you are the next head of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School."

"Wait!" Lu Hualiang suddenly interrupted, saying to Zhu Jiyi in a solemn voice, "Master? This disciple dares to ask you to reconsider."

In an instant, Lu Hualiang circulated the inner energy in his body, forming invisible but fierce gusts of wind.

For Lin Yuan, who was merely at the Qi-Blood level, to speak under such pressure was exceedingly difficult.

Lu Hualiang’s commanding presence loomed over Lin Yuan like Mount Tai crushing down.

Today, he returned to completely take control of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School, paving his path for future developments in the Hong Family. He couldn’t let an outsider like Lin Yuan interfere.

If Lin Yuan took the throne, his entire plan would be ruined.

"I cannot let this happen!" Lu Hualiang’s dark eyes looked down upon Lin Yuan, who was kneeling before Zhu Jiyi.

"Lin Yuan, despite your talent in Alchemy, you’re nothing more than an ant that can be crushed at will. I have brought Hong Wenli here to suppress your presence!"

Lu Hualiang spoke coldly, advising, "Lin Yuan, as the head of the school, you bear the life and death of all the disciples. Such a heavy responsibility is not something your frail shoulders can bear!"

As he spoke, the pressure from his inner energy increased, continuing to pile onto Lin Yuan.

But he didn’t realize that his energy had no effect on Lin Yuan.

It was like throwing a stone into a lake, barely making a ripple.

"To be ranked twelfth in the academy is not without merit, you can withstand my suppression," Lu Hualiang couldn’t help but nod inwardly.

With this strength, he could still serve some use under me in the future.

Though he took Zhu Lingshan from me, women are easily obtainable, and those who achieve great things must be willing to make sacrifices.

Besides, Lin Yuan’s talent in Alchemy was commendable, and since he valued Zhu Lingshan, it was convenient to use her to keep Lin Yuan firmly under control.

"You may rise and stand in the back. Do not disappoint me!" Lu Hualiang’s voice was indifferent, as if speaking of trivial matters.

But Lin Yuan ignored his words, only watching Zhu Jiyi, waiting for him to finish speaking.

Zhu Jiyi glanced at Lu Hualiang and directly said, "Lin Yuan, you are the head of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School."

Lu Hualiang’s expression changed, and he stepped forward.

"Master, have you truly made up your mind, disregarding the disciples’ desires, making Lin Yuan—an outsider—the head?" Lu Hualiang’s inner energy surged, creating storms that caused his robes to flap violently.

But Lu Hualiang’s face was as cold as frost, murderous intent emanating from his body, almost tangible.

"Indeed! Do you wish to defy me?" Zhu Jiyi coldly chuckled.

Lin Yuan, having received Zhu Jiyi’s permission, immediately said, "Disciple thanks the master."

"Disciple would not dare!" Lu Hualiang sneered, suddenly taking another step with overwhelming momentum, pressing fiercely toward Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan clasped his hands in gratitude, stood back up with a smile on his face, and softly said, "Rest assured, master, as long as I am here today, no one will harm you."

"An insignificant pest dares to oppose me?" Lu Hualiang’s anger flared.

His nearby junior brothers found it hard to breathe, as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests.

Yet Lin Yuan remained unaffected and moved freely.

"Please rest, master!" Lin Yuan turned, his back to Zhu Jiyi, and declared loudly, "As the saying goes, ’Before dealing with outside troubles, you must first secure the inside!’

Lin Yuan’s gaze swept over Hong Huaiyun and the others.

"Hong Huaiyun, I, Lin Yuan, am the new head of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School. We will discuss your issues later."

"Wait until you have secured your position."

Hong Huaiyun chuckled indifferently, patting his ear in response.

At this moment, Ouyang Xing couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted, "I disagree with passing the position to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan is merely a rogue man found by Zhu Lingshan, how can he bear the title of head of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School? Lu Hualiang is your chief disciple, already esteemed by many disciples, how can he not bear the head’s title? Passing the position to Lu Hualiang is the proper path!"

"This bastard of an unknown origin, what qualifications does he have? Is the vast martial arts school so easily handed to an outsider? I refuse to accept!" Ouyang Xing sprayed spittle as he spoke, ready to rebel against the Zhu Family Martial Arts School at any moment.

"Master, I suspect you have been bewitched by Lin Yuan, beguiled by his sweet words. Allow me to eradicate these bottom-dwellers, so you may enjoy a peaceful retirement," Lu Hualiang said darkly, his eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.

As soon as these words were uttered, disciples from other martial arts clubs could barely hold back their laughter. Watching the Zhu Family Martial Arts School brothers turning against each other today was indeed pleasing to their eyes.

"What do you think will happen to Lin Yuan? He actually stood up to Lu Hualiang. Surprisingly, he does have a bit of presence."

"Haha, he’s merely a lover of that old ghost Zhu’s third disciple, just a show-off. But I’ve heard he’s skilled in alchemy and has ties to the Pei family. Today, however, with big figures present, his identity won’t help."

"I thought today would be bloody and fierce, to compete against the Zhu Family Martial Arts School, but it turns out we’re here to enjoy a drama. Heh heh, it’s unbelievably entertaining."

"Lin Yuan is the head of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School, I’ve grown old. All decisions on matters, big or small, will be made by him." Zhu Jiyi said coldly.

At this moment, he was utterly disheartened, no longer wishing to concern himself with the affairs of the martial arts school.

After speaking, Zhu Jiyi motioned for two disciples to carry him to Zhu Lingshan’s side, leaving space for Lin Yuan.

"Zhu Jiyi!" Ouyang Xing exclaimed, "Lin Yuan is unqualified. This school isn’t decided by you alone, I disagree."

"Those who support Lu Hualiang as head, gather behind me!" Ouyang Xing called out, sounding righteous and solemn.

The disciples of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School couldn’t help but feel restless, pondering moving toward Ouyang Xing.

Everyone knew that without joining the Hong Family under Lu Hualiang today, they might be slaughtered by Hong Huaiyun. While Zhu Jiyi opposed joining the Hong Family to protect them, not joining meant dying now.

One would die sooner, the other later.

Faced with such choice, they did not hesitate. Lin Yuan was unheard of, with no strength or backing present, how could he stand against the likes of Hong Huaiyun?

Following Lin Yuan was a dead-end!

"Hehe." Lin Yuan laughed, "I won’t stop you if you have such thoughts now."

The disciples hurriedly moved, positioning themselves behind Ouyang Xing.

At this moment, one person moved.

The second senior brother struggled to muster his strength, having his own disciple support him as he moved behind Ouyang Xing.

"Se-se-second senior brother." Zhu Lingshan’s eyes widened as she witnessed this, almost unable to believe it.

Seeing this, Lu Hualiang’s fair face showed a hint of a smile.

"Have I truly made a mistake?" Zhu Jiyi’s tears flowed even more, questioning if he had utterly failed.

Pang Yanmu was so infuriated that smoke figuratively billowed from his seven orifices, finding it hard to believe the once-honest and simple second senior brother would defy their master’s decree.

In the end, only a third of the disciples remained behind Zhu Jiyi.

"Very well!"

Lin Yuan spoke calmly, looking over the remaining disciples.

This group, he was determined to protect.

"Very well?" Ouyang Xing laughed, "With so many disciples supporting Lu Hualiang as head, do you still have the face to remain here?"

Ouyang Xing’s face suddenly turned cold, as he announced, "I declare Lu Hualiang as the head of the Zhu Family Martial Arts School! Lin Yuan, the bastard, is expelled from the school."

"Ouyang, you old dog!"

A violent voice echoed.

Lin Yuan’s figure was like a ghost, suddenly appearing beside Ouyang Xing before anyone could react.

Swish!

Lin Yuan’s right hand already gripped Ouyang Xing’s neck.

Ouyang Xing wanted to speak, but the sky suddenly darkened, as an iron hand, like a thousand hammers and chisels combined, gripped his neck tightly.

"You?!" Ouyang Xing’s pupils shrank as Lin Yuan’s large hand squeezed his veins, cutting off Qi-Blood energy, causing his face to flush red instantly.

"Ingrate old dog!"

Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty hue.

"Strip his cultivation, break his tendons, and snap his spine!"
