（Chapter 68）Is This Guy Seeking Death?

Zhang Wei raised his hand to touch his shoulder. He was slightly trembling from the pain.

Unbearable pain flashed in his eyes.

There was an extra sword wound on his shoulder!

Only when he struggled to dodge did he barely avoid being hit by the original sword trajectory.

The other party's sword was originally aimed at his… neck!

The other party actually had killing intent!

"Dong dong dong."

Zhang Wei took a few steps back and half-knelt on the ground.

He covered his shoulder with one hand and supported himself on the ground with the other. His expression was terrible and he couldn't accept the defeat so easily.

"What a pity."

Huo Fan sighed, with mixed feelings.

Was he regretting that the other party had escaped this fatal blow, or was he sighing that the other party was too weak and not worth his time?

Two consecutive battles, both lost!

However, the two people Lihuomen sent were not ordinary disciples.

Xu Siyang and Zhang Wei were both top-ranked inner disciples.

Yan Lin's expression darkened for a moment.

The other party came to the mountain gate to stir up trouble, but they challenged them directly.

This was the most embarrassing part!

If he accepted the challenge, his opponent was too strong and it would be difficult to win.

If he did not accept the challenge, he would appear too cowardly, causing others to look down on him.

For a moment, the scene fell into a deadlock.

'If the lady were here, she would definitely be able to resolve the situation, but… she is the number one genius in the Five Kingdoms. If she takes action, even if she defeats the other party, what's there to show off?'

Yan Lin frowned and pondered over how to deal with it.

At this moment, Shen Tubo walked out of the sect.

He said blankly, "Why, you've come here to provoke us. Do you think our Lihuomen is a soft persimmon?"

"So it's Elder Shen Tu!"

Xie Yu greeted Shen Tubo with his fists cupped and immediately smiled. "We're not provoking you. We just want to have a normal discussion with each other and make progress together."

Right after, Xie Yu's expression changed. "We lost two consecutive matches before the strongest person on our side could even take action. Lihuomen is the number one sect in the Five Kingdoms. You have really let me down."

Shen Tubo glanced behind him and saw Zhang Wei and Xu Siyang looking bitter. He had almost understood the situation.

The top three inner disciples of the sect were all in seclusion and were unable to fight.

Among the remaining people, the strongest one was probably Lin Chen!

"Elder Shen Tu, the situation is really unfavorable for us now. We must regain our dignity to maintain Lihuomen's status in the eyes of outsiders!"

Yan Lin sent a voice transmission with an anxious expression. "Why don't we let Lin Chen come forward? That kid is very powerful. He managed to defeat Zhao Peng when he was an outer disciple. Now, if he faces these people, he might not lose!"

Shen Tubo frowned slightly. The main problem was that Lin Chen had just been punished by him to three days of seclusion.

The three days were originally meant as a symbolic punishment, just for show.

If the three-day rule was broken, would the other disciples feel unfair?

As an elder who handled punishments, unfairness was his biggest taboo…

Seeing that Shen Tubo was hesitant, Yan Lin could not care about anything else and hurriedly turned back to the sect.

No matter what!

Only Lin Chen could resolve the current situation.

If he made a move, the so-called geniuses from sects like Fengjian Sect would definitely not be his match.

Yan Lin rushed all the way to Lin Chen's courtyard and knocked on the door.

Lin Chen opened the door with a surprised look on his face. "Elder Yan, what's wrong?"

"Come with me!"

Yan Lin did not have time to explain.

"Elder Yan, I'm under detention now. It's only the second day. Please don't make things difficult for me!"

Lin Chen shook his head and took a step back.

Yan Lin laughed in spite of himself. "You're not a rule-abiding person. Why are you pretending to be innocent in front of me? As an inner sect elder, I'll break the rules this time. Hurry up and leave. It's up to you to save our sect's dignity!"

"What happened?"

Lin Chen was puzzled.

Elder Yan Lin was usually a calm and composed person, so why was he so anxious today?

…

…

Outside the mountain gate.

As more and more people arrived to watch the excitement, the place became increasingly crowded.

Many beastmasters and warriors from Lihuocheng came over after hearing that there was excitement.

The strength of Fengjian Sect and Lihuomen was comparable. In the Five Kingdoms, Lihuomen had always been slightly stronger.

This time, the Dragon Gate Assembly had just ended, but Fengjian Sect could not wait to come over and challenge them. They clearly had great ambitions!

They probably wanted to seize the opportunity to build momentum before competing for the spot of a second-grade sect.

If Lihuomen's limelight was repeatedly suppressed, in everyone's minds, Fengjian Sect would gradually replace Lihuomen's transcendent status, which would play a huge role in their future competition for the spot.

"Are you coming out to fight or not?"

Zheng Liang raised his head, his face full of impatience.

Previously, Sun He and Huo Fan had taken action one after another and defeated the inner disciples of Lihuomen.

He had witnessed everything and felt a burning desire to fight.

However, the people from Lihuomen had not sent anyone out to fight for a long time.

This made him very unhappy!

Why, aren't you even giving me a chance to show off?

On Lihuomen's side, many inner disciples were gnashing their teeth. They were so furious that they could not speak.

If so many of their brothers were not in seclusion, it would be their turn to clamor here!

At this moment, Lin Ning'er came from Lihuocheng, carrying a vegetable basket.

When she saw this scene, her expression changed slightly.

Although she did not understand what was going on, the confrontation between the two parties clearly indicated that things were not simple.

Just as Lin Ning'er was about to leave, Zheng Liang noticed her.

Lin Ning'er was originally a stunning beauty with skin as smooth as congealed cream. A few years ago, she had been tormented by Cold Poison, causing her face to become sallow and haggard. Now that most of the Cold Poison had been expelled, she had regained her vitality and radiance.

A hint of surprise flashed across Zheng Liang's eyes!

"Since no one from your Lihuomen dares to fight, and I don't want to bully the weak, why don't you let her accompany me for a few days and show me around Lihuocheng? I'll let Lihuomen go for today. How about that?"

Zheng Liang raised his hand and pointed at Lin Ning'er.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze!

All the disciples of Lihuomen, including those from the inner sect and the outer sect, were all shocked as their gazes landed on Lin Ning'er.

What did he say?

Let Lin Ning'er accompany him to play in the city for a few days?

No, doesn't he know what the consequences will be?

Is this kid's brain damaged?

Everyone's expressions became strange at this moment.

That Lin Chen would not tolerate anyone humiliating his sister!

Whoever dared to do this… would die miserably!

He Guan, Chen Han, Zhao Peng, Cheng Nianguang, they were all examples!

Lin Ning'er took a step back, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Why did he have to involve her?

Seeing that Lin Ning'er still wanted to leave, Sun He could not help but sneer. "Haha, it's your fortune to be favored by our Senior Brother Zheng. Why don't you come over here and serve Senior Brother Zheng attentively? If you serve him well, your future will be limitless!"

As a result, everyone's expressions became even stranger.

That's exactly what they wanted. They could not blame others!

"As long as you come with me, I'll let your sect go today!"

Zheng Liang looked proud.
