C23 Insolence

When Lin Cheng arrived at the front yard, there were already many people packing up the carriages and horses.

Lin Cheng noticed that there was a batch of Purplish Red Horse tied to the door pillar. There was a bell hanging on his neck, and it was currently ringing. His gaze swept across the bell and immediately frowned.

There were two words engraved on the bell - Return to One!

"Unification Sect, or Unification Hall?"

In the North of Dongzhou, the word 'Return to One' was something that no one except the Unification Sect and the Unification Hall dared to use.

Lin Cheng quickly understood that this should be Chen Yongwen's horse.

The reason why he was able to follow them and knew which room Lin Cheng was staying in indicated that Chen Yongwen must have been following them around, but Lin Cheng and Chen Hong didn't notice him.

This horse was obviously Chen Yongwen's!

While guessing in his heart, Lin Cheng did not immediately go forward and vigilantly observed his surroundings.

At this time, a burst of discussion was heard.

"Whose horse is this? Why is it tied to the pillar?!" One of them asked.

"Yeah, I didn't see this horse when I was resting yesterday, but someone tied the horse to the door post early in the morning!"

"Go and ask the shopkeeper. Tell the horse owner to take it away. This horse is blocking the way here. Our carriage won't be able to get out later!"

Hearing these discussions, Lin Cheng was even more certain that this was Chen Yongwen's horse.

He immediately pretended to have just walked out of the room and quickly said, "Sorry, everyone. I'm sorry. This is my horse. Yesterday, he had been rushing and was tired of people and horses, so he casually tied the horse to the pillar of the door. I'll take it away now! "

The few people who were cleaning up the carriage finally felt relieved. It was common for people to be tired and horses when they were out on the road. Furthermore, Lin Cheng's attitude was very humble. He cupped his fists and bowed. The few of them also smiled kindly.

Lin Cheng bought some grass from the station, fed the Purplish Red Horse, and then immediately led the horse away.

Originally, he didn't have the money to buy a horse, so he left Dongluo City on foot. Later, Chen Hong drove from behind and sent him to this station. Lin Cheng thought that he would have to rely on his legs for the rest of the journey, but he didn't expect it. Chen Yongwen followed closely behind.

In the end, not only did Chen Yongwen not kill him, he even killed him, and even left him a group of horses!

Lin Cheng laughed in his heart. If Chen Yongwen had known this would happen, he would have rather died than chase after him!

After leaving the relay station, Lin Cheng immediately urged his horse and ran towards the south.

For the next two days, Lin Cheng kept rushing. When the horse got tired of running, he came down and walked with the horse. When they reached the relay station, he continued to practice. At the same time, he kept practicing the Scorching Sun Knife and Seven-star Cloud-stepping Step, and his strength gradually increased.

After three days, Lin Cheng rode his horse to a river. He let the Purplish Red Horse run freely and drank water by the river. He also cleaned himself.

"If it was a practitioner, I'm afraid that with just a Dust Removal Technique, he would be able to make himself feel comfortable and clean!" Lin Cheng's thoughts drifted far away. He imagined the world of the cultivator and the wonders of all kinds of magic.

"Jia! Jia! "

Suddenly, the sound of horses galloping could be heard from afar. Lin Cheng stopped thinking and immediately turned his head to look. He saw four or five people riding horses towards him from the river in front of him.

These few people were all dressed in black clothes, and they wore weapons on their bodies. They were all riding tall and big horses, and all of them looked extraordinary.

"Boss, there's someone in front!"

As those people quickly approached, a voice was heard.

Lin Cheng immediately became alert. He grabbed the reins of the Purplish Red Horse and gripped the hilt of it tightly.

After a few breaths, the four or five people rode their horses to Lin Cheng and pulled the reins. They sat on the horses and circled around Lin Cheng a few times.

Perhaps it was because they had been running wildly, but at this moment, they were not the only ones gasping for air. The horses they rode were also panting heavily. It was obvious that they were extremely tired.

However, these people surrounded Lin Cheng with unfriendly gazes.

Lin Cheng frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you all want to see?"

"Kid, let me ask you, have you seen a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothing? This person is injured and has a chest with him!" A big man sitting on a horse asked.

Lin Cheng immediately knew that this person was the one who had spoken earlier. He coldly looked at him and said, "Don't tell me you don't know how to write the word 'upbringing'?"

"Kid, do you want to die?"

The big man widened his eyes and shouted, "Do you know who we are? Let me tell you, we are from the Chu Family!"

A cold light flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes, and his muscles tensed up. He was ready to use the Scorching Sun Knife!

Although these people seemed to be quite strong, he was not afraid at all. Because these few people were probably the strongest middle-aged man riding a black horse. The Yuan energy fluctuations on his body were very obvious. He should be a Chakra Stage warrior.

Out of the remaining four people, two of them, Lin Cheng, could confirm that they were Body-refining Stage Cultivating Warrior. As for the other two, Lin Cheng couldn't tell, so he couldn't tell what their Cultivation Level was.

However, judging from their formation, the middle-aged man riding the black horse should be the leader in the middle. He should be the strongest, even if the other two couldn't see through him, they were still Chakra Stage warriors. They wouldn't be stronger than that middle-aged man!

Even if he wasn't a match for these men, he was confident that he could injure that man in an instant, and escape at the same time.

"Ol 'Five, be polite with your words!" The middle-aged man on the black horse shouted, then turned his head and said to Lin Cheng, "Friend, please don't take offense. This brother of mine has a straightforward character, his words are not his brain."

"Since you have no brain, you should shut your mouth a little tighter!" Lin Cheng said coldly. He was not the kind of person who would reveal a smile even after being bullied.

"Kid, you..." The fifth brother immediately became furious. He pointed at Lin Cheng and was about to scold him.

"Fifth Brother!"

The middle-aged man shouted, "What did I tell you when I came out? Do you want me to repeat it again? How many heads do you have if you delay the Patriarch's business? "

When the fifth brother heard this, his expression immediately changed and he did not dare to say anything else. However, the way he looked at Lin Cheng was extremely unfriendly.

"Little brother, we are chasing after an important criminal. This person has killed a member of our Chu Family, and he is our sworn enemy. May I ask what kind of suspicious person you have seen?" The middle-aged man asked.

"No!"

Lin Cheng said lightly, "I just arrived here. I didn't see anyone other than the few of you."

"You are lying!"

Fifth Brother shouted, "Kid, that dog thief Lu Yuanshan is seriously injured. He definitely won't be able to run far. Even if he borrowed the river water, he could at most run to this area. And you happened to be nearby, you said you didn't see it. Who are you trying to fool? "

He turned to look at the middle-aged man on the black horse and said loudly, "Boss, I suspect that this kid is in cahoots with that dog Lu Yuanshan. We should arrest this kid and interrogate him immediately. He must know Lu Yuanshan's whereabouts!"

"Clang!"

Lin Cheng suddenly pulled out his long blade. His eyes were cold as he secretly looked for a suitable angle and opportunity to attack.

Because he noticed that when the middle-aged man on the black horse heard the fifth brother's words, his eyes flickered a few times. Obviously, he was moved by the fifth brother's words!

"You want to attack?"

Fifth Brother was amused by his anger. "Kid, your brain must be damaged, right? You're just a mere seventh level Body-refining Stage Cultivation Level, and you're two full realms away from me. How dare you make a move on me? Have you seen the situation clearly? "

" My Cultivation Level isn't high, but it's enough to kill you! " Lin Cheng said coldly.

He could already tell that this man wanted to target him, because he noticed that when Fifth Brother was targeting him, his gaze had already swept past the Purplish Red Horse beside him several times.

Lin Cheng immediately understood. This Fifth Brother was targeting him, but it was fake. He was afraid that the horse that had taken a fancy to him was the real one! Because the horses of the few of them were extremely tired!

However, Lin Cheng did not rejoice in the slightest. Although he had picked up this horse for nothing, he definitely would not be obediently sent off with a bow just because someone glared at him!

Moreover, it was all thanks to this Purplish Red Horse that they had been rushing these few days. Furthermore, Lin Cheng knew very well that even if he gave the horse to them obediently, these people would not let him off.

Therefore, Lin Cheng naturally would not give in. He was looking for an opportunity to attack. The first move of the Scorching Sun Knife was enough to heavily injure the fifth brother. However, it was very difficult to retreat after injuring the fifth brother.

The remaining few people were all experts. Furthermore, they had surrounded Lin Cheng and sealed off all his escape routes. Clearly, they had been prepared for him.

Lin Cheng wasn't in a hurry to attack, but he wasn't afraid at all. The Seven-star Cloud-stepping Step could reach extreme speed. If he wanted to escape, even if it wasn't an easy task, it wouldn't be too difficult.

As long as he jumped into the river, he would be able to get rid of these people with ease.

However, if he did that, he would have to leave behind the Purplish Red Horse. He wasn't willing to, and he also didn't want to be chased so miserably.

Even if he wanted to escape, he had to get rid of one of them!

"Kicking! Kicking! Kicking!"

Just as Lin Cheng was in a deadlock with his opponent, the sound of hurried horse hooves could be heard. The few of them immediately turned their heads and saw the direction where the fifth brother and the others had come from. Another group of people came, led by a white horse. A woman wearing fiery red leather armor.

This woman took the lead. Behind her were seven or eight Cultivating Warrior. She was also riding a wild horse.

Just as the middle-aged man was distracted, Lin Cheng quietly retreated. He pulled the Purplish Red Horse to the riverside and came out from the circle they had formed.

A cold light flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes. There was a way out. Now, he only needed to make a move.

If he wanted to kill the fifth brother in front of a Chakra Stage warrior, the timing, distance, and even psychological reaction had to be perfect. If there was even the slightest mistake, the one who would be in trouble in the end would most likely be himself.

"Boss, it's Zhu Ziqiao. That girl is really fast. She has already caught up to us. She is afraid that the Chu Family will take all the treasures for themselves!" Seeing the red armored woman and her group riding their horses over, the fifth brother's face was no longer as arrogant as before. His expression became serious.

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Fifth brother, be careful of your words!"

Old Fifth glanced at Lin Cheng by the river and said coldly, "Just kill him later. We won't leak the news!"
