Chapter 820: Chapter 823: Return_1

Vislan watched Lin Zhen’s family leave the warship, his eyes swiveling back and forth.

“One, two, three… Why are we missing a person? Where is Su Mingyue?”

Lin Liye did not respond to his question, but instead stepped forward, “Where are my two grandsons?”

“Haha! Utterly ridiculous. You can’t even save yourself, yet you’re still concerned about your grandsons. If you really want to know, I suppose I can tell you. But, your entire family will have to willingly surrender, then I’ll allow you to reunite with those two brats.”

“In your dreams!” Lin Liye retorted angrily.

“Don’t be ungrateful. Power is what matters now. Our strength completely overwhelms yours, leaving you no room for resistance. If you refuse the toast, you should expect the consequences. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

A chill showed on Vislan’s face and he commanded his mercenaries behind him, “Brothers, take action, but be careful. These delicate beauties are only World Kings; don’t accidentally kill them. That would ruin the fun.”

“Boss, we’ve already angered Lin Zhen to death by taking on this job. Since it has come to this, it doesn’t matter how we act now. Today, I want to have a taste of the beauties from his family!”

A Longevity Stage mercenary charged forward, targeting An Ning.

At this moment, An Ning was worried about her two children. When she saw an enemy charging towards her, she was filled with rage.

When the mercenary charged towards her, surprisingly she did not dodge or avoid him, instead, she unsheathed her sword to confront him!

By An Ning’s side, sisters An Qier also attacked simultaneously!

These women from Lin Zhen’s family were formidable as well. The three World Kings joined forces and swiftly clashed with this Longevity Stage mercenary. Their figures suddenly split and recombined, these three women simultaneously retreated, their faces pale.

The Longevity Stage mercenary had a sword sticking in his chest, pierced by An Ning’s sword!

Sisters An Qier supported An Ning. This brief engagement, although extremely dangerous, showed that An Ning had fought desperately. The mercenary was ill-prepared and had his defenses broken by the An Qier sisters and thus lost his life.

The Longevity Stage Martial Artist crashed to the ground, his eyes filled with regret.

Vislan was stunned for a moment; then, a look of rage appeared on his face, “You refuse a toast only to get the penalty. Everyone, attack!”

His eleven men charged together.

Lin family members gathered together, knowing they were not their opponents. But even if it meant death, they would not let the enemy capture them.

*********

Above the Heavenly Gate, Su Mingyue opened her eyes.

She looked with disbelief at the wormhole opening before her.

From the wormhole, her long-lost husband, whose coat was covered with a rosy glow walked out. That was the light from the Original World.

Coming to the Heavenly Gate, she had been driven by desperation. Su Mingyue couldn’t think of any other way.

But she never expected that her husband would truly return. He had heard her call!

“Lin Zhen…”

Her lips moved a little, tears blurred her vision.

Lin Zhen stepped out of the wormhole in one stride, pulling Su Mingyue into his arms, “Yue’er, what happened?”

“There are enemies, below…”

With a sweep of Lin Zhen’s spiritual power, the scene under the Heavenly Gate was clearly visible.

He put Su Mingyue into his internal world, then teleported directly to the fighting scene below.

***********

Vislan, wielding a long sword, knocked the weapon out of Ling’er’s hand with a single stroke.

To be fair, The Lin family members were strong amongst World Kings, but their strength was not enough to defy the heavens. They could defeat one at the Longevity Stage when working together, but they were absolutely no match for one at the Three Flowers Realm.

Vislan’s strength was virtually invincible in the New World.

Just as he was about to capture Ling’er, who was barely holding up, a chilling sense of danger suddenly came from above.

“Not good!”

Vislan, who had spent years living on the knife’s edge, immediately sensed danger.

His ability to detect danger was very strong, and a torrential murderous intent came flooding from above. How could he not feel it?

Without any hesitation, Vislan immediately released another wormhole egg.

Given this overwhelming murderous intent and power, apart from Lin Zhen, he could not think of anyone else. It was clear that Lin Zhen had received the news and come back. This mission was over.

Vislan activated the wormhole egg and then with a thought, two figures flew out of his internal world: these were the captured Lin Ping and Lin An.

Vislan had an agreement with Qian Tong when he took on the job. If he captured anyone from the Lin family, he must take the opportunity to send them back. He had set the coordinates long ago, specifically to Qian Tong’s alchemy room.

Once Lin Ping and Lin An safely passed through the wormhole, they would be in Qian Tong’s hands. Then, with his two sons in Qian Tong’s hands, Lin Zhen definitely wouldn’t be able to act recklessly.

After throwing Lin Ping and Lin An in, Vislan quickly followed suit and entered the wormhole, without even having time to call to his subordinates.

Lin Zhen teleported, taking him directly above the battlefield.

At the site of the battlefield, the Lin family was gathering together to resist. An Ning, Ling’er, the sisters An Qier, and his own daughter Lin Mei’er were the main force of resistance. However, they were being toyed with like a cat playing with a mouse by the Longevity Warriors, and there simply was no way they could resist for long.

Having seen Vislan’s actions, the rage in Lin Zhen’s heart had already surged to the limit.

His eyes focussed on Vislan’s wormhole and he released his Heart Sword.

Buzz~!

This was an incredibly powerful move even in the Original World; in the New World it was utterly invincible.

A network of swords cut through the space, causing countless tiny space fissures and fiercely slashing at the wormhole!

The space passage opened by the Wormhole Egg was unable to withstand Lin Zhen’s chilling strike and was severed right at the middle!

Vislan, who was about to return to the Original World, was stopped by this attack. Half of the passage lost its power, and Vislan’s body fell out of it.

“Nine Spirits, you take care of these minions!”

Lin Zhen let the Nine-headed Lion out. When Nine Spirits appeared, its massive body roared, its godly transformation into a Super Star River Beast terrified the mercenaries who were only at the Longevity Realm.

Ten mercenaries attempted to flee in different directions. Nine Spirits flickered in the air, nine enormous lion heads flew out, one for each person; it bit nine of them, killing them in mid-air, swallowing them one by one.

The remaining one was grabbed by it and was flung to the ground, crushed their head with a single stomp.

The once arrogant mercenaries were wiped out in an instant!

Vislan was only spitting out blood. He had been injured by Lin Zhen’s chilling Sword Qi and it seemed like he wouldn’t survive.

Just as Lin Zhen was about to finish him off, An Ning suddenly cried out in a loud voice behind him: “Lin Zhen, Lin Ping and Lin An have been taken by him!”

Lin Zhen He hesitated for a moment, halted his killing actions, grabbed Vislan and forced him to swallow an elixir, and then his fiery gaze directly stabbed into his soul.

Soul Lock~!

Vislan, who was just about to enter the Ghost Gate, was yanked back to life by Lin Zhen.

“Speak, spill everything you know!”

Vislan was easily soul-locked by Lin Zhen and began to spill all he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.

“The person who wanted to threaten you using your family is Qian Tong. He provided us two Wormhole Eggs to come to the New World and gave our Mercenary Corps fifty billion. That’s why we’d accepted this deal.”

“Lin Ping and Lin An haven’t died, because Qian Tong said he wants them alive. I had an agreement with him to deliver them to his side.”

Lin Zhen’s face changed, “Are you saying that my two sons are now in Qian Tong’s hands?”

If that’s the case, it was indeed dangerous. Qian Tong was a cruel man, and as a Saint-Level Alchemist, he had many ways to control people. If Lin Ping and Lin An end up in his hands, they might suffer more than death.

Even if Lin Zhen rushes back right now, he might provoke Qian Tong to take immediate action.

However, Vislan shook his head, “No. Your strike just now damaged the structure of the wormhole, causing a significant deviation in the wormhole’s coordinates. Lin Ping and Lin An were almost through at the time, but the position must have definitely changed. They must have ended up in some other part of the Original World.”

“Give me the coordinates!”

“There are no specific coordinates anymore. The wormhole was destroyed by your Sword Qi at the last moment, hence, the exact location can’t be determined. We can only estimate a range, but the error might be several million or even tens of millions of light years.”

“Where is this estimated range?”

“It could… be somewhere near the Endless Battlefield. But it’s impossible to pursue them there. The Endless Battlefield is unimaginably large and full of dangers. A difference of tens of thousands of kilometers can make the difference between heaven and hell, let alone such a large discrepancy. It’s going to be hard to find these two.”

“Then you can go die!” Lin Zhen shot a Mental Shock, instantly smashing Vislan’s head into bits!

Vislan’s headless body fell down. Lin Zhen once again released Su Mingyue, and the Lin family was finally reunited.

An Ning rushed into Lin Zhen’s embrace, “My husband, save our children.”

“Relax, everyone relax, as long as Ping’er and An’er are alive, it’s doable. I’m very familiar with the Original World, I will certainly be able to find them. You have to believe in their survival abilities. They are now at the World King Peak realm. Once they’re in the Original World, they might even break through to Longevity quickly. The Longevity warriors are considered among the strong in the Original World, so they won’t have any issues surviving,” Lin Zhen said.

Lin Zhen’s reassuring words did their job. Seeing for themselves that both children were still alive relieved the Lin family considerably.

Moreover, the brothers Lin Ping and Lin An have always loved to adventure, so even if they ended up in the Original World, they should be fine.

After Su Mingyue came out, she also grew anxious, “My husband, are they really going to be okay? Won’t there be any danger?”

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said, “There shouldn’t be any major problems. They might have ended up in a relatively complex area, but I’ll go searching for them. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

The Lin family, though still a bit apprehensive, felt much better knowing that their children were alive. Moreover, with Lin Zhen back, everything naturally had him to rely on.

However, Lin Zhen’s heart was actually quite uneasy. The Endless Battlefield was the war zone between the Original World’s surface and the races of the Endless Star Sea. Within that stretch of many tens of millions of light years, there were countless hazards.

Besides, no warrior below the Longevity Stage ever enters that place. Even those in the Three Flowers Realm are just flunkies there.

It was way too dangerous for Lin Ping and Lin An to go there.

But, naturally, Lin Zhen didn’t share these concerns with his family. For now, he should first take his family back to the Original World and settle them safely. He himself would go find his two sons.
