Chapter 820 - 95: Martial Arts Realm—Strength Above All Else

Canglan Hall Reception Hall.

Before Su Ying dragged Lin Chen into the hall, Cai Zexian’s expression instantly changed, and the next moment he shouted angrily: "Daring to harm a son of the Cai Family, seeking death!"

As an innate powerhouse, when Su Ying was still ten zhang away from the hall, Cai Zexian had already sensed it, which is why he was so furious.

At this moment, Chu Zining, who was still stalling for time, was also stunned upon hearing Cai Zexian’s angry shout. What did this mean?

A son of the Cai Family was injured?

In the entire hall, apart from Cai Duan, all the Cai family members were present.

So the injured is Cai Duan?

But Cai Duan is a first-grade martial artist; in the entire Canglan Hall, who could possibly harm a first-grade martial artist?

Chu Zining immediately recalled a figure in his mind; apart from Junior Brother Lin, there was no one else.

Considering the time, it’s been already more than half a day since Junior Brother Lin went to visit the Hu Mansion, it’s indeed possible that he’s back.

At the same time, Chu Zining also saw Su Ying appearing in the front corridor. When he saw Su Ying carrying the already unconscious Cai Duan, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Dare to hurt my nephew, die!"

Seeing Cai Zexian’s figure shoot out, aiming a palm at Su Ying, Chu Zining couldn’t care less and hurriedly shouted: "Cai Zexian, stop!"

The original respectful "Lord Cai" turned into direct naming now.

Chu Zining’s attitude towards Cai Zexian changed just because of one point, he could already determine that the person who injured Cai Duan was Junior Brother Lin.

If Junior Brother Lin injured Cai Duan, it must be that Cai Duan had acted excessively, and thus the Cai Family must be at fault first in this matter.

Even taking a step back, even if the Cai Family was not at fault, when Junior Brother Lin injured Cai Duan, all martial artists in the entire Liang and even Canglan Island would side with Junior Brother Lin.

Cai Zexian’s palm stopped three chi away from Su Ying, the terrifying palm wind caused Su Ying to stagger backward several steps.

Ultimately, Cai Zexian withdrew his hand.

He also sensed the change in Chu Zining’s demeanor.

Given his identity as an innate martial artist, he wouldn’t even consider a second-grade martial artist like Chu Zining in his eyes; it was only because of Chu Zining being the Hall Master of Canglan Hall that caught his attention.

Though he was angry that his nephew got hurt, Chu Zining’s attitude certainly made him feel something unusual.

He could ignore Chu Zining, but Chu Zining’s sudden shift in attitude made him ponder the reason behind it.

What caused Chu Zining, who had always been flattering him, to suddenly change his attitude?

"If I don’t get a reasonable explanation for this, there’s no need for Canglan Hall to exist, even if the Hu Family intervenes."

Cai Zexian turned his gaze to Chu Zining, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Hu Yunhua wished to establish a favorable connection with Lin Chen but wouldn’t oppose the Cai Family just for Canglan Hall.

Although their Patriarch was aged and less formidable compared to Hu Yunhua, he had served as a steward in the East Sea Divine Palace for many years, had connections with several lords of the East Sea Divine Palace, and had aided several individuals who were now in the innate third realm.

This, Hu Yunhua knew well, and the other two families were aware too, which was why even though the Cai Family was currently the weakest among the four families, the other three wouldn’t dare covet the Cai Family.

Hu Yunhua was simply following the steps his father had taken back in the day.

Before Chu Zining could answer, a terrifying aura descended from the sky the next moment, causing Cai Zexian to look up, and upon seeing a giant ice-blue finger appear in the sky, his complexion instantly changed.

Canglan Finger!

Cold sweat instantly formed on Cai Zexian’s forehead.

In Canglan Hall, the only person capable of using the Canglan Finger was one person.

The reasons why the Cai Family was so eager to establish ties with the Yan Country Royal Family largely revolved around this individual, didn’t they?

Has this person returned to the Eastern Sea?

"Your nephew is indeed daring, even at my Canglan Hall he dares act unscrupulously; if the Cai Family is not convinced, I’ll be waiting at Canglan Hall."

Lin Chen’s icy voice echoed throughout the courtyard of the hall, making Cai Zexian’s face pale. Just from the voice alone, his innate power within trembled, indeed worthy of the top celestial pride at Martial Arts Mountain.

"Lord Lin, please calm down, there seems to be a misunderstanding here."

At this moment, Cai Zexian dared not to posture any longer; initially, witnessing Lin Chen dominate Martial Arts Mountain and his two battles with Sima Kong through the screen was shocking given Lin Chen’s youthful age already stepping into the innate second realm.

But now, feeling Lin Chen’s oppressive aura directly, he realized just how powerful Lin Chen truly was; his father’s peak was merely at this level.

Not convinced?

So what if they aren’t convinced?

Could the Cai Family really engage in warfare with Lin Chen?

As for those powerhouses related to the Cai Family, if it were ordinary enemies or even against the Hu Family and the other two families, these powerhouses might remember his father’s past kindness and be willing to assist.

For these powerhouses, it would be merely a small effort, or even just a gesture would solve the issue.

But if these lords knew the foe of the Cai Family was Lin Chen, they would likely choose to sit out.

His father’s previous kindness was not enough to make them feud with a celestial pride like Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was a celestial pride disciple of the Canglan Sect; if they form enmity today and fail to annihilate Lin Chen before he matures, with Lin Chen’s talent, it would only leave a colossal threat for their family and themselves in the future.
