Chapter 1178 Visiting the Lin Family
“Don’t be so cautious. First, the Li family was destroyed because they attacked the Ancient God Clan’s mountain gate, definitely not simply because they offended Lin Feng! Second, the Li family was also stupid, secretly colluding with forces from other divine mountains, offending the Divine Lord. Otherwise, would the Divine Lord not protect them?”
“But our Lin family is different! The Ancient God Clan won’t attack us just because of something Lin Feng said! Even if they really come, the Divine Lord absolutely won’t stand by and do nothing!”
Lin Heng remained completely calm.
As the head of the Lin family, he saw things clearly and had no panic in his heart.
“Why don’t we release Lin Ben? Lin Ben has a good relationship with Lin Feng. If Lin Feng comes, having him step forward could invisibly resolve a potential crisis!”
At this moment, the Grand Elder suddenly spoke.
As soon as these words were spoken,
The scene suddenly fell silent.
The expression of Lin Heng, the Lin family head, immediately soured.
Previously, because of Lin Feng’s matter, the Council of Elders had severely criticized Lin Ben, and even Lin Ben’s parents were affected, being punished by being sent to guard a remote small city at the edge of Lin family territory. This incident caused quite a stir in the Lin family, something that was virtually unprecedented.
“Grand Elder, I know you’ve always treated Lin Ben like a grandson, so your pleading for him is understandable, but don’t say such things again in the future!”
Lin Heng said expressionlessly.
“Family Head, releasing Lin Ben is absolutely feasible! Otherwise, when Lin Feng arrives, how will we explain?”
The Grand Elder said in a deep voice.
“Enough!”
Lin Heng slammed the table and stood up abruptly, saying coldly:
“You repeatedly ask me to let Lin Ben go, is that possible?”
“Lin Ben is a fool without any brains. He was manipulated by others and nearly caused our Lin family to have a bloody battle with the Li family. Then he further disregarded my orders and privately took people to help Lin Feng against the Li family! This matter is now widely circulated among the major families of the East Divine Mountain.”
“Our Lin family has become everyone’s laughingstock! Release him? Absolutely impossible! He will stay in the dungeon for the rest of his life. Don’t even think about him coming out!”
Following the Family Head’s cold rebuke,
The atmosphere at the scene became increasingly oppressive, and everyone didn’t dare to make a sound.
Everyone knew that what Lin Ben did this time was too outrageous. Not only did he embarrass the Lin family, but he also offended the patriarch’s dignity. The patriarch sparing his life was already a great mercy.
“Patriarch, please! Just release my San Niu!”
Just then,
A lightly made-up woman suddenly rushed into the hall, knelt down, and pleaded desperately.
Behind the woman followed a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked very displeased, but he dared not object, lowering his head and begging the patriarch to spare Lin Ben.
These two were none other than Lin Ben’s parents.
“Didn’t I order you two to guard the western city? Why did you come back? Are you treating my words as mere wind in your ears?”
Lin Heng’s face darkened.
“Patriarch, you can deal with us husband and wife however you wish! Just please release Ben. He has never suffered in his life. If he’s locked in a dark dungeon, he simply won’t be able to endure it!”
Lin Ben’s father said with difficulty.
“Patriarch, just release Lin Ben! It would also help improve our relationship with Lin Feng.”
The Grand Elder persuaded once again from the side.
Hearing the three of them, Lin Heng’s expression became increasingly unpleasant.
He hated this feeling of being forced, putting him in an awkward position in such a setting.
“Improve relations with Lin Feng? Why should our Lin family improve relations with Lin Feng? My daughter Lin Jiaojiao is a core disciple of the East Divine Mountain’s Divine Academy and is close friends with the Divine Mountain Lord’s own daughter!”
“Lin Feng wouldn’t dare to move against our Lin family. You want to use this as an excuse to release Lin Ben, absolutely impossible!”
“Don’t mention this matter again, or don’t blame me for being merciless!”
Lin Heng said coldly.
Hearing these words,
The Grand Elder couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, knowing it was hopeless.
After returning yesterday, amid his anxiety, he immediately thought of the relationship between Lin Feng and Lin Ben, feeling he could use this to rescue Lin Ben. He had also informed Lin Ben’s parents of the news, asking the couple to return.
He thought that this way, the Family Head would very likely release Lin Ben, but unexpectedly, it backfired, making the Family Head even angrier!
Lin Ben’s parents also felt a wave of despair, standing there, unable to speak for a long time.
Would their son really have to spend the rest of his life in the dungeon?
In that place where spiritual power was sealed off, dark and sunless, not just the pampered Lin Ben, even a tough and unyielding man couldn’t stay for too long.
“Alright! Meeting adjourned. During this period, do what you need to do. There’s no need to be afraid.”
Lin Heng said in a deep voice, preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, at that moment,
A series of hurried footsteps came from outside, followed by a guard rushing into the hall, saying nervously:
“Report… report to the Family Head! Lin… Lin Feng requests an audience!”
“What? Lin Feng?”
“This Lin Feng has really come! What does he want to do? He doesn’t really want to destroy our Lin family too, does he?”
“Hard to say, rumors outside claim that Lin Feng is vengeful. Previously, our Lin family did offend him!”
The many core members of the Lin family in the hall changed expressions and discussed among themselves.
Although the Family Head had just spoken so confidently, they were still a bit nervous in their hearts. After all, the Li family had similar strength to their Lin family, and they were destroyed just like that.
“How many people are with him?”
Lin Heng asked in a deep voice.
“Just Lin Feng alone!”
The guard replied.
“Oh? Just him alone?”
Lin Heng narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, then chuckled and said:
“Let him in. I’d like to meet this young man and see if he’s as arrogant and confident as the legends say.”
Soon.
Under the guard’s lead,
Lin Feng strode into the Lin family hall. He stood straight, like a human iron tower, his sharp gaze scanning the surroundings, as if looking for someone!
“An honored guest arrives, forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!”
Lin Heng sat above, smiling as he spoke.
“Are you the Lin family head, Lin Heng?”
Lin Feng asked directly.
Lin Heng’s smile froze, feeling that Lin Feng was truly too arrogant, being so impolite, but he didn’t get angry and just nodded slightly.
“Yes, I am Lin Heng! You come here, could it be because of the previous matter?”
“Hehe, previously your Lin family almost surrounded and attacked me!”
Lin Feng smiled coldly.
“Those things are all in the past. We can consider it a friendship formed through conflict.”
Lin Heng smiled in response.
“You say it’s in the past and it’s just over? Come here, let me slap you in the face, and then say it’s over, would that be okay?”
Lin Feng sneered, then continued:
“If it weren’t for Lin Ben’s sake, do you think I would have come alone today?”
