Until they came to us on their own initiative.
When Lin Cheng heard the announcement and rushed over, Xu Shouyi had already led a large group of people into the Lin residence. Beside him stood a man in blue robes with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered on his clothes, clearly a cultivator from a celestial sect.
"How dare you! Xu Shouyi, what are you doing? Why are you barging into my Lin residence?" They haven't even settled accounts with the Xu family yet, and they still dare to come knocking on our door.
"Uncle Lin, you can't blame me for this!" Xu Shouyi laughed arrogantly, looking completely fearless. "Who told your Lin family to put the entire Shangyang City in danger?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Cheng glared at the person walking in front. He was clearly of the same generation as his son, but because of his years of indulgence in drinking and pleasure, he had turned himself into a middle-aged man. No wonder he had not yet been favored by a noble lady.
"What do you mean?" Xu Shouyi sneered and said loudly, "Lin Feng, the son of the Lin family, entered Shangyang without permission and brought in a fifth-order demon beast, causing the demon beast to riot and endangering the people of the city. This is something that everyone has witnessed."
"What did you say?!" Lin Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief, his body trembling with anger. "Are you trying to slander and frame the Lin family?!"
The origin of that fifth-tier demonic beast is unknown. Seeing their first plan fail, the Xu family is trying to pin the blame on Lin Feng while the city is deserted, even bringing in cultivators. Who would believe their contribution in suppressing the demonic beast? What a sinister scheme!
"Why that fifth-tier demonic beast entered the city, my Lin family doesn't know, but I'm sure your Xu family does!" It was the Xu family that notified them to go there. If this matter has nothing to do with the Xu family, then he, Lin, should change his name!
"Shut up!" Xu Shouyi's expression changed, and he turned to the man next to him and bowed, saying, "Immortal Master, Lin Feng led the demonic beasts into the city. Such a heartless and insane person must not be let off lightly. The Lin family is protecting Lin Feng, so they are no good either. Please help us capture him!"
The cultivator was clearly part of the group. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if the other party is also a cultivator, their cultivation level of just a few years is nowhere near that of us regular disciples of the immortal sect."
After saying that, he was about to lead his men to rush inside. The Xu family was determined to eradicate the Lin family completely from Shangyang, so they had no intention of reasoning with anyone.
"Halt!" Lin Cheng, enraged, impulsively stepped in front of the crowd and blurted out, "The Heavenly Maiden is currently resting in my Lin residence. Who dares to offend her?"
The crowd that had burst in paused, then Xu Shouyi suddenly burst into wild laughter, "Hahahaha... Lin Cheng, you actually said something like that just to protect yourself." He clearly didn't believe it.
The cultivator beside him also wore a disdainful expression, and sneered, "How noble is a celestial maiden! You mortals from the countryside dare to dream of having one? I'd like to see what kind of celestial maiden she is. Let her come out so I can pay my respects..."
Boom!
Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, hitting him squarely on the head. Instantly, lightning flashed everywhere, and the cultivator was knocked to the ground, his body charred and deeply embedded in a crater. A burnt smell immediately filled the surroundings.
Lin Cheng: "..."
Xu Shouyi: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This is... asking for prayers and getting prayers, asking for thunder and getting thunder?
