"Tuoba Yuangang, I advise you not to speak carelessly!"
Hearing Tuoba Yuangang dare to call Lin Chen his illegitimate son, Qian Feng was completely startled.
Good heavens, this brainless fool isn't afraid of death!
"Hehehe, what? Did I touch a nerve? Why are you reacting so strongly?"
However, Tuoba Yuangang felt nothing wrong at the moment.
Although Qian Feng was the second elder of the Qian family, everyone in the entire Southwest cultivation world knew that this person was a notorious womanizer in his youth!
There were many times he heard news of Qian Feng's illegitimate sons showing up at his door.
This young man in front of him, being protected by Qian Feng so much, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him his illegitimate son, right?
After all, judging by Qian Feng's current attitude, he was truly protecting this young man in every way possible!
Considering Qian Feng's status as an elder of one of the Five Sects and Four Clans, what other young person in the entire Southwest cultivation world could they protect so fiercely?
Even the heirs of the Five Sects and Four Clans would likely be treated no differently!
But this young man in front of him looked unfamiliar, definitely not an heir of any major family!
"Mr. Lin, this Tuoba Yuangang is an elder of the Zhenshan Sect. His strength far surpasses mine. I truly..."
"Enough, Elder Qian, there's no need to explain. I understand."
Qian Feng turned around, intending to explain something to Lin Chen. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lin Chen.
How could Lin Chen not understand Qian Feng's meaning?
Even if Qian Feng were given ten thousand times more courage, with his personality, he would never dare to jest with him about such a matter!
"Oh? Mr. Lin?"
"Are you really not Qian Feng's illegitimate son?"
Hearing Qian Feng's address to Lin Chen, Tuoba Yuangang frowned instantly.
Could it be that he had misunderstood?
After all, if the young man in front of him were truly Qian Feng's illegitimate son, why would he call him Mr. Lin?
However, what made Tuoba Yuangang even more curious was that in the entire Southwest cultivation world, he had never heard of any major power whose surname was Lin!
While there were families surnamed Lin, their strength didn't even qualify as third-rate. And people from that Lin family, even if the patriarch himself came, would not be worthy of being addressed as "Mister" by Qian Feng!
Who exactly was this person?
"Scoundrel! What an esteemed identity Mr. Lin has, and you keep calling him an illegitimate son. Brother, I will immediately teach him a lesson!"
"Li Huo Qian Jun, Kill!"
However, as soon as Tuoba Yuangang finished speaking, the Wu Long and Wu Hu brothers beside him could no longer bear it.
As the saying goes, "If the master is insulted, the subordinate dies." For them, Lin Chen had already become their backbone.
Now, to dare insult their boss was simply courting death!
As he spoke, Wu Hu directly drew his sword and charged towards Tuoba Yuangang.
And Wu Long behind him, though helpless at his brother's impulsiveness, also charged forward.
"Oh? This is the cultivation technique of the Liehuo Sect?"
Seeing the cultivation technique used by the Wu Long and Wu Hu brothers, Tuoba Yuangang's heart skipped a beat, but at this moment, he could only force himself to gather his spirits and reluctantly face the enemy.
However, the cultivation technique used by these two brothers truly surprised him.
The Liehuo Sect nowadays was already defunct, wasn't it? How could there be two great masters in the late Core Formation stage here?
Where did they come from?
"Zhou Qianyuan, what other helpers do you have? Call them out together!"
With the Wu Long and Wu Hu brothers holding off Tuoba Yuangang, he now had the breathing room to deal with Zhou Qianyuan!
"Qian Feng!"
"Your Qian family truly surprises me!"
"But do you think I only summoned these few people?"
"Patriarch Zhou, since you're here, please show yourself!"
"The dignified Patriarch of the Zhou family, are you afraid of a mere second elder of the Qian family?"
Seeing Qian Feng's contemptuous gaze, Zhou Qianyuan looked towards the void beside him.
Regardless, he was a genuine cultivator in the middle Core Formation stage, and also an alchemist, so his perception of auras was extremely sensitive.
He had summoned the leaders of three forces this time. Now that Tuoba Yuangang and Qian Feng had appeared, only the Patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Dingfeng, remained!
Strictly speaking, this Zhou family was related to his own, so he could sense that their people had been hiding in the shadows all along, just not showing themselves.
Now that Tuoba Yuangang was holding off the two great Core Formation experts, and Qian Feng, although also in the late Core Formation stage, was certainly inferior to the dignified Patriarch of the Zhou family in terms of strength and status!
Otherwise, being part of the Five Sects and Four Clans, why was Qian Feng only an elder, while Zhou Dingfeng was the true Patriarch of the Zhou family, one of the Five Sects and Four Clans?
However, upon hearing Zhou Qianyuan's words, Zhou Dingfeng, who was hiding in the shadows, secretly lamented.
He indeed was not afraid of Qian Feng. If they fought one-on-one, he was confident he could defeat him within half an hour.
But he had clearly seen who Qian Feng was protecting!
Lin Chen! That was Lin Chen!
Were the Five Sects and Four Clans capable of provoking him now?
If he dared to attack Lin Chen here today, it would take less than two hours for the news to spread throughout the entire Southwest cultivation world.
At that time, more than half of the major powers in the Southwest cultivation world would immediately unite and take his head to present to Lin Chen for favor!
Upon arriving at the scene and realizing it was Lin Chen, he had planned to leave immediately and resolutely not get involved in this matter.
But unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he was discovered by this cunning Zhou Qianyuan.
Now, he could only remain silent, secretly retracting his aura, creating the illusion that he was not present.
Otherwise, if he were really dragged out by Zhou Qianyuan to oppose Lin Chen, wouldn't that plunge the entire Zhou family into abyss?
This Zhou Qianyuan was simply deserving of death!
When did a descendant of the Zhou family become such an idiot?
"Oh? Patriarch of the Zhou family? Zhou Dingfeng?"
Hearing Zhou Qianyuan's words, Qian Feng's expression immediately became vigilant.
He had heard of Zhou Dingfeng, the Patriarch of the Qian family.
It was just that during the trial valley incident, the Qian family had also been involved in the conspiracy of the Liehuo Sect.
It could be said that if not for Lin Chen's appearance, the elite members of the Zhou family would also have been harmed by Wu Quangui before.
Why now, not only did the Zhou family not show gratitude, but they were also helping Zhou Qianyuan to deal with Lin Chen?
Was the Zhou family truly that foolish?
Would they really offend Lin Chen for a mere person of the same surname and put the entire Zhou family in danger?
