Inside the small courtyard.
Feng Lin wore a leisurely expression, waiting for good news.
"That Qin Chen, I suppose heâs already dead?"
"Humph! If it wasnât for him, I wouldnât have been expelled from my masterâs sect by that old bastard Shi Tian! Letting him die is doing him a favor!!!"
Feng Linâs face was full of malice.
Bam!!!
However, right at that moment.
The wooden door of Feng Linâs small courtyard was shattered by a force, making a tremendous noise.
"Who is it?!"
Such a loud commotion instantly startled Feng Lin.
Feng Lin hurriedly ran to the entrance of the courtyard.
"Li Junyu?"
Seeing that it was Li Junyu and several Li family experts, a slight smile immediately spread across Feng Linâs face.
He did not notice the unusual aura on Li Junyu and his companions at this moment.
"So, what good news have you brought me?" Feng Lin asked with a smile.
"Good news, indeed, weâve indeed brought you good news."
"That Qin Chen has been killed by us."
Li Junyu spoke with a wide smile on his face.
"Really? Just as expected, I knew it."
"Well done." Feng Lin nodded with satisfaction.
"So, Lord Feng Lin, isnât it time to fulfill your promise?" Li Junyu asked with a smile.
"What? Do you think I, Feng Lin, wonât keep my word? Rest assured, I always value my reputation."
"What I say, I will certainly do," Feng Lin assured.
"Then letâs go, Lord Feng Lin? No time to waste," Li Junyu said with a smile.
"Now?" Feng Lin was surprised.
"No matter how urgent, you have to consider my masterâs schedule, right?"
"You guys go back and wait for the message. Once Iâve arranged the time, Iâll send someone to the Li family to inform you," Feng Lin explained.
"Lord Feng Lin, my sisterâs illness canât afford any delay," Li Junyu pressed.
"Donât you understand human language?"
"Iâve told you, it depends on the timing! Itâs not whenever you want!"
"If you keep pushing, donât blame me, Feng Lin, for turning hostile and not recognizing anyone!" Feng Lin was slightly angry.
"Turn hostile?"
Hearing this, a radiant smile suddenly appeared on Li Junyuâs face.
Bam!!!
In the next moment, Li Junyu suddenly struck.
Punching directly at Feng Linâs chest.
Sending Feng Lin flying back, his body crashing into the small courtyard.
Waaâ
Feng Lin, accustomed to a life of comfort, how could he withstand Li Junyuâs punch?
Upon crashing into the courtyard, he directly opened his mouth wide and spit out a mouthful of blood.
His chest was even caving in.
"Li Junyu, what are you doing?!"
Feng Lin struggled to get up from the ground, glaring at Li Junyu with anger on his face.
"What am I doing?" The corner of Li Junyuâs mouth curled up into a demonic arc.
Swishâ
The next moment, Li Junyuâs figure darted forward again.
Directly approaching Feng Lin, then delivered another punch on him.
Feng Lin almost couldnât utter a word, as he was struck, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
"Li Junyu! Are you crazy? How dare you attack me? I am the sole disciple of No. 1 Alchemist of Western Origin, Shi Tian!!!"
"Do you know the consequences of attacking me?!"
Feng Lin was filled with shock and anger.
No matter what, he hadnât expected Li Junyu to dare lay a hand on him.
Hearing this, Li Junyu just scoffed.
"Do you find fooling people amusing?" Li Junyu remarked.
Feng Linâs face changed suddenly at Li Junyuâs words.
It was an instinctive change of expression.
Only then did he realize, Li Junyu seemed to have learned something from somewhere.
"What are you talking about?! What fooling? When have I ever fooled you?"
Feng Lin was still being obstinate at this moment.
Originally, he had planned to leave Qiuzhou City after using Li Junyu to kill Qin Chen.
Without Shi Tian, he was merely an ordinary alchemist.
So at this point, he had no choice but to deny it to the end.
"Your expression has already betrayed you."
Li Junyu naturally captured Feng Linâs fleeting change of expression.
And he observed it very clearly.
Feng Linâs face instantly stiffened.
"Why arenât you speaking?"
"If you want to prove yourself, Iâll give you a chance."
"Take me to see Master Shitian, and Iâll believe you and apologize to you, whatever you want."
"Shall we go?"
Li Junyu looked at Feng Lin, then said.
Feng Lin wouldnât dare to take Li Junyu to see Shi Tian.
That would be courting death!
His mind was working rapidly, trying to find a way to deceive Li Junyu temporarily.
Unfortunately, Li Junyu wasnât a fool.
Although Feng Lin did not admit it, certain details had undoubtedly confirmed Qin Chenâs words.
Feng Lin had already been expelled from Shi Tianâs sect.
If that werenât the case, why wouldnât he dare to take them to see Shi Tian at such a critical moment?
"Uncle Li."
Seeing Feng Lin not speaking, Li Junyu stood up and then called to one of the Li family experts beside him.
"Take this person to the blood prison of my Li family."
"Use the most vicious Blood Punishment to serve him daily until he dies."
Li Junyu left a statement, then turned and left.
Feng Lin was struck as if hit by a Thunder Strike!
His eyes widened!
Blood Punishment!
He wasnât unaware of the Blood Punishment in the Li familyâs blood prison!
That punishment was worse than death!
"No! Mr. Li! Even if Iâm not that old bastard Shi Tianâs disciple anymore!"
"But I am an alchemist, I can perform alchemy, I am willing to join the Li family and perform alchemy for the Li family!!!" Feng Lin said desperately.
Li Junyuâs steps to leave halted for a moment.
Then he turned around, with a cold expression on his face as he looked at Feng Lin and said, "Master Shitian taught you, made you who you are, and yet you refer to Master Shitian like this?"
"How can I, Li Junyu, trust a person like you?"
"Or rather, what gives you the right to make me believe you?"
Feng Linâs body trembled, sweating profusely in panic.
"Uncle Li, take him away."
Li Junyu once again left a statement, then completely disappeared from the scene.
Feng Linâs body went rigid, filled with despair for the days to come.
"This is all your just deserts."
"From this moment, your future... will be shrouded in darkness!!!"
With an indifferent expression, Uncle Li sealed Feng Linâs cultivation, preventing his suicide, then forcefully took him away.
...
Shitianâs Mansion.
After leaving Feng Linâs small courtyard, Li Junyu arrived here.
Standing outside the door, Li Junyu gritted his teeth, knelt down, and shouted loudly, "Li Junyu of the Li family in Qiuzhou City requests an audience with Master Shitian!!!"
Squeakââ
After a moment, the door of Shitianâs Mansion opened.
"Come in." The one who opened the door was, naturally, Shi Tian.
Upon seeing the door open, Li Junyu was overjoyed.
Following Shi Tian, he entered the mansion.
However, when he saw the person inside, he was suddenly stunned.
"Qin... Young Master Qin?!"
