Chapter 12: Sister, I Will Take You Away!
Page (1/3)
In front of the rear courtyard.
“Lord Lin Mu, she is supposed to marry the Young Master of the Zhang Family…”
A maid wore a troubled expression.
“Smack!”
Lin Mu slapped her across the face, sending her flying.
He stepped forward and sneered viciously. “Zhang Xiao is a lunatic who kills women after having his fun with them. Do you really think he cares whether Lin Ning’er is still a virgin? Damn it! That little bastard Lin Chen has humiliated and suppressed me in front of everyone time and again, making me lose face. Today, I’m going to savor the taste of his sister!”
The maid curled up into a ball, trembling violently.
Creak.
The door opened, and Lin Ning’er emerged with her hands hanging limply at her sides.
She was breathtakingly beautiful, yet a sickly pallor flashed across her face.
Clutched tightly in her hand was a sharp shard of porcelain.
Lin Ning’er had intended to kill herself on the way to the Zhang Family. Before dying, perhaps she would still have the chance to see her younger brother one last time.
But now, it seemed she would not even live until then.
“Lin Ning’er, rather than let an outsider have you, wouldn’t it be better to let me have you instead?”
Lin Mu raised his head. His face was twisted with excitement, an uncontrollable fervor burning in his eyes.
Lin Ning’er gave a bitter laugh. She knew that she possessed no cultivation. Once Lin Mu noticed anything amiss, she would not even be allowed to die.
Little Chen, it is your sister’s fault that I am useless and can no longer take care of you…
I hope you escape alive. Your sister’s spirit in heaven will continue to protect you!
Lin Ning’er hardened her heart, seized the porcelain shard, and drew it across her delicate throat.
Boom!
Lin Mu reacted with astonishing speed. He flicked a finger, and a surge of spiritual energy struck Lin Ning’er, knocking her to the ground.
The porcelain shard in her hand was crushed into powder by that same force.
“I haven’t even tasted you yet, and you want to die? You won’t be dying today!”
With a savage grin, Lin Mu lunged at her.
“Lin Mu!”
At that moment, the courtyard wall exploded.
A figure charged through like a rampaging tyrannosaur, carrying the force of ten thousand tons as he slammed straight into Lin Mu.
In an instant, a chill ran down Lin Mu’s spine, and his legs began to tremble.
His opponent was moving far too quickly to evade. Lin Mu could only roar and summon a round shield, raising it before him.
Crack!
With a thunderous boom, the round shield, painstakingly forged from refined steel, shattered instantly.
The tremendous force that burst through it sent Lin Mu flying.
The sound of breaking bones rang out. His body smashed through two walls in succession before finally coming to a stop.

In the ruins, Lin Mu struggled to rise, only to find that his entire body had gone limp. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale.
His pupils contracted furiously. That round shield had been a second-grade spirit weapon!
Yet it had been smashed apart in an instant!
If the spirit weapon had not taken the blow for him, he would probably have lost his life.
“Lin Chen… It’s you!”
When Lin Mu finally saw his opponent’s face, his heart gave a violent tremor.
His pupils shrank dramatically.
“The entire family is hunting you down, yet you actually dare to show yourself!”
Lin Mu tried to stand, but his injuries were too severe. With a wet gasp, he vomited another mouthful of blood.
What truly terrified him was the fact that Lin Chen’s phantom beast had clearly been killed. How, then, could he still possess such immense strength?
“You dared to set your sights on my sister, Lin Mu. You’ve got some nerve!”
Lin Chen’s expression twisted viciously. In two or three strides, he reached Lin Mu and brought down a fist.
A layer of bark rapidly spread over his fist, hard as iron, and it crashed heavily into Lin Mu’s chest.
Crack!
Lin Mu’s sternum shattered, and his heart was crushed into bloody pulp by the immense force.
His head lolled to one side. He was dead.
A mighty cultivator at the fifth level of the Earth Spirit Realm had not even had the chance to summon his phantom beast before dying at Lin Chen’s hands.
“Little Chen, you… you’ve recovered your cultivation?”
A trace of joy appeared on Lin Ning’er’s pale, lovely face.
She staggered forward and threw her arms around Lin Chen.
Then her tears fell in large drops, like pearls from a broken string, soaking the shoulder of his clothing.
“Sis, I failed to protect you and allowed you to suffer.”
Lin Chen gently patted Lin Ning’er’s back, his voice firm. “From this day forth, I will never allow anyone outside this family to bully you again!”
Lin Ning’er had initially been smiling, but her expression soon changed.
“Little Chen, do you know that people inside and outside the family are all searching for you? Before they return, hurry and leave Turning Cloud City. The farther away you go, the better!”
“Sis, I’ll take you with me.”
Lin Chen’s voice was gentle.
Lin Ning’er was just about to reply when she suddenly noticed a tiny sapling sitting atop Lin Chen’s head.
The little sapling had opened its small eyes and was studying her.
Their gazes met without warning, and Lin Ning’er gave a start.
“Little Chen, that… what is it?”
“Sis, this is my new phantom beast.”
Lin Chen reached up and plucked the sapling from his head, smiling. “I’ll explain everything when we have time. Let’s get out of here first!”
“All right.”
Lin Ning’er was overjoyed from the bottom of her heart that Lin Chen had recovered his cultivation, and the despondency that had clouded her expression vanished completely.

Lin Chen went to the family ancestral hall and found the memorial tablet of his grandfather, Lin Tianming.
“Grandfather, the Lin Family has become this cold and heartless. If you remain here, you will only continue to suffer humiliation. I’m taking you with me!”
Lin Chen placed the memorial tablet inside his storage ring. Then he carried Lin Ning’er on his back and hurried outside.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A group of Lin Family disciples arrived and surrounded Lin Chen.
“Lin Chen, you’re not escaping!”
“You have not only brought shame upon the family, but you also dared to kill Young Master Yiming. Today, we will capture you and bring you to justice!”
These Lin Family disciples all belonged to Lin Hongbin’s faction.
Their faces were grim, and killing intent filled the air around them.
“Little Chen…”
Lin Ning’er clenched both fists, her face pale.
“Am I… am I going to hold you back?”
“Hahaha! How could this bunch of trash possibly stop me?”
Lin Chen threw back his head and laughed. “Sis, watch closely!”
The instant he finished speaking, a dense surge of spiritual energy erupted from Lin Chen’s body. The power of his Myriad Woods Flourishing Physique was revealed to its fullest, and an immense aura of vitality circulated around him.
The little sapling climbed onto Lin Chen’s head once more.
Its hands transformed into two long vine whips. Baring its teeth in a grin, it said, “Let your Tree Bro loosen up your bones!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lin Chen charged outward. Every step he took struck the ground with a thunderous roar, causing the entire courtyard to tremble.
“Stop him!”
A group of Lin Family disciples summoned their phantom beasts, but before they could react, Lin Chen had already crushed his way through them.
Bang!
One disciple happened to block Lin Chen’s path and was sent flying with a single collision.
Before his body had even left the air, several sharp cracks rang out in succession. His bones had been completely pulverized.
Lin Chen was like a maddened ferocious beast: whoever stood in his way would die!
“Stop!”
A young man riding a saber-toothed tiger pounced toward Lin Chen.
The little sapling lashed out with a vine whip, striking the air with a sharp crack before smacking the young man across the face.
The young man let out a miserable scream and fell from the saber-toothed tiger’s back.
Half of his face was instantly reduced to a bloody, mangled mess.
Lin Chen dashed out of the estate in just a few strides, but his pace abruptly faltered.
Standing before him was a figure gazing down from above, eyes crimson and surrounded by a terrifying murderous aura.
