WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 102: The Bet
As that thunderous and threatening roar spread throughout the bustling Qingyang City, the entire city became silent. Immediately, countless gazes were directed towards the Lin Family residence.
"The Sect of the Blood Cloth has finally arrived ..."
“The Lin family is completely doomed to misfortune. After they dealt with the Lei and Xie Families, another more ferocious wolf came.”.
"*Interest*…"
Around the Lin Family residence were red-clothed troops. They were so numerous and so dense that not a single drop of water could penetrate them. Their piercing bright red color and menacing aura were truly a sight to behold.
At the head of the group was a man sitting on his horse. This man was quite muscular and his skin was quite tanned. As he stood quietly, he looked similar to an iron tower. Meanwhile, a suffocating atmosphere slowly poured out from his body, anyone could tell that this man should not be underestimated.
The man wore a red robe and wore an ice-cold expression on his face that could not be read in the slightest. His bright red eyebrows made him look even more threatening. This man was the head of the Blood Cloth Sect, a Yuan And Advanced Stage expert who was quite famous even in Yan City, Wei Tong!
Beside Wei Tong was a rather thin old man. Judging from the vague Yuan Power surging all over his body, this man should have been a member of the Blood Cloth Sect who had reached the Yuan And Early Stage.
“Hehe, our Blood Cloth Sect has personally arrived at your doorstep. Yet the little Lin Family has chosen to shut us down. Do you really think that our Blood Cloth Sect will hesitate to destroy you? The eagle-nosed old man let out a strange laugh as he glared at the Lin Family home, a ferocious expression on his face.
"Graddling!"
After the man laughed, the tightly shut gates of the Lin family home slowly began to open. Immediately after, a large group of Lin Family guards gushed out as they stared nervously at the large formation before them.
"This old Lin Zhentian, the patriarch of the Lin Family, greets Master Wei Tong." Lin Zhentian led Lin Xiao and the others out as he clasped his hands and greeted the red-robed man on the horse.
“I did not expect to see a Yuan And Early Stage practitioner in this small Qingyang City.”
Wei Tong's cold gaze was fixed on Lin Zhentian. Immediately after, he waved his hand and said: “Motif my Blood Cloth Sect should be clear to your Lin Family. Gu Ying is the vice head of my Blood Cloth Sect. Ever since he died at the hands of your Lin Family, eyes for eyes, teeth for teeth, evil for evil and blood for blood. You should know what to do.”
Lin Zhentian's expression changed slightly as he gritted his teeth and replied: “Master Wei Tong, that day, it was mainly a dispute between my Lin Family and the Lei and Xie Families. Vice-head Gu Ying was the one who interfered.”.
"I didn't come here to listen to an explanation of what happened." Wei Tong interrupted indifferently. Soon after, his gaze became even colder as he glared at Lin Zhentian and said: “I've said it before, I'm here to avenge him. So don't bother explaining these details to me. ”
Wei Tong's tone of voice was somewhat flat and restrained, but within that tone, there was a wild aggressiveness. With regards to this, many members of the Lin Family felt somewhat angry, yet, they did not dare to voice their complaints.
Lin Zhentian's facial expression fluctuated. A while later, he replied in a low voice: “Master Wei Tong. Please get to the point. What should my Lin Family do to resolve this issue?”
The Blood Cloth Sect had used all of their troops on this journey. However, they only surrounded the manor and did not immediately start an attack. Their actions clearly hinted that they had other designs. Lin Zhentian was a wise man. Hence, he naturally guessed that the Blood Cloth Sect was definitely planning to take advantage of them.
“You are a wise man.” When he heard Lin Zhentian's words, a smile finally appeared on Wei Tong's face. His pearl white teeth made everyone feel cold: "Give the Steel Wood Manor and assassin Gu Ying, then, if your Lin Family submits to my Blood Cloth Sect, then, I can forget about Gu Ying."
When they heard these words, the hearts of Lin Zhentian and the others sank. They expected the Blood Cloth Sect to tear them apart, however, they clearly underestimated**** their meal.
"Master Wei Tong, can you be a little more friendly?" Lin Zhentian's voice sounded somewhat dry as he asked.
“Heh heh, Lin Zhentian, don't impose your limits. Our teacher has shown incredible elegance when he did not immediately destroy your Lin Family. If you continue barking, your Lin Family will be completely erased! ” Next to Wei Tong, the old man with a cruel look said in a low tone.
"The real reason why you guys didn't directly exterminate our Lin Family was because you understood that there would be a heavy price to pay!" Before the old man's words disappeared, a voice then echoed. Immediately, a figure shot out from the Lin Family and landed on the wall of the manor. This person was Lin Dong.
"You must be the Lin Family's son who killed Gu Ying?" Wei Tong's eyes immediately fell on Lin Dong. The former's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint appearing as he said slowly.
"You overestimated your Lin Family."
“Master Wei Tong, trust me. If we really fight, our Lin Family will most likely be destroyed. However, the old man beside you will probably die here as well. The competition in Yan City is fierce, if you consecutively lose your right and left hands, I think it will be a huge blow to your Blood Cloth Sect. Lin Dong looked at Wei Tong while saying solemnly.
"You!"
When he heard these words, the creepy-looking old man was furious. As he planned to shout, Wei Tong waved his hand and stopped him. Soon, he chuckled: "So, do you think that our Blood Cloth Sect will not dare to do anything to your Lin Family?"
“If your Blood Cloth Sect wants to destroy my Lin Family, you can definitely do it. However, there will be an expensive price to pay. Surely Master Wei Tong should know this as well. Moreover, even if you can destroy our Lin Family today, I am confident that I can escape. In the future, Master Wei Tong would probably have countless sleepless nights ... "Lin Dong's gaze met Wei Tong as he said.
"Oh?"
Wei Tong was surprised as he looked at Lin Dong. In the next example, a cold murderous glint flashed across his eyes. He heavily stepped on the ground and like an arrow, he dashed towards the latter.
“Wah, do you think you are capable of being so arrogant in front of me just because you killed Gu Ying? If you hope to escape, I will kill you right now!”
Wei Tong's actions were against everyone's expectations. No one anticipated that the head of the Blood Cloth Sect would actually suddenly attack a youngster!
Lin Zhentian quickly regained his wits. Instantly his eyes turned red. However, just before he could intercept Wei Tong, the creepy-looking old man appeared in front of him and blocked him.
This sudden development caused the forces on both sides to immediately withdraw their weapons. Instantly, the atmosphere became extremely tense, both sides on the verge of a fight.
Lin Dong calmly looked at Wei Tong, who was now threateningly running towards him. The latter reaction did not surprise him. However, he did not plan to fight with Wei Tong right now. After all, he knew that based on his current strength, if he were to fight head-on, he had no chance against an opponent of the Yuan And Advanced Stage.
Therefore, when Wei Tong ran, Lin Dong's body also quickly floated backwards. Then, several black shadows flew out from his sleeves, however, this black shadow was not directed towards the first one, but rather Lin Dong's legs. As he gently tapped with his toes, he soared into the air. After a few jumps, he actually forced his way into the sky. This scene caused some of the people around him to gasp.
Walk through the sky. Even an elite Yuan Dan Stage practitioner was unable to accomplish this feat.
Lin Dong jumped in the sky and easily dodged Wei Tong's attack. Meanwhile, the latter had no choice but to stop. With a dark expression on his face, he finally understood why Lin Dong could confidently claim that he would be able to escape. If he were to use this method, it was true that no one would be able to stand in his way.
When Lin Zhentian and the others saw Lin Dong use this method to render Wei Tong helpless, they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Lin Dong's figure slowly landed on a nearby tree. He looked down from above to Wei Tong and said: "Master Wei Tong, if your Blood Cloth Sect destroys our Lin Family, I will escape and train in secret. However, as I train myself, your Blood Cloth Sect will probably feel very worried. ”
"You dare threaten me?"
Wei Tong's extreme anger turned into laughter. This was the first time he had been threatened by a young man. However, he finally felt a little troubled. After all, he could not easily put aside this threat. The fact that Lin Dong could kill Gu Ying at such a young age was proof of his incredible potential. Against such an opponent, he would have to dispose of it immediately. Otherwise, he would be a great threat in the future.
Lin Dong was calm. Currently, his Lin Family was unable to fight against the Blood Cloth Sect. Similarly, no one in his Lin Family could defeat Wei Tong. Hence, he could only use this method to hold Wei Tong back.
"Master Wei Tong, do you dare to bet with me?" Lin Dong suddenly asked.
“What bet?” Wei Tong's eyes narrowed slightly as he sneered.
“In three months, we will have a death match. If you win, not only will the Steel Wood Manor be yours, but all of our Lin Family members will also submit to you. However, if I win, then we will forget about Gu Ying's matter. How?” Lin Dong slowly said.
When Lin Dong finished speaking, some people were shocked. Even the facial expressions of Lin Zhentian and the others changed slightly. They turned and looked at each other but were at a loss for words. After all, if they could not survive today, then the entire Lin Family would be destroyed. At that moment, the Steel Wood Manor was completely worthless to them…
If they could delay it for three months, it would definitely be a positive development. As for whether Lin Dong could really defeat Wei Tong in three months, perhaps only he himself knew…
"You want to have a death match with me?" Wei Tong was clearly shocked by this bet. Although Lin Dong had killed Gu Ying, it did not indicate that he had the qualifications to match her.
The Yuan And Advanced Stage could match the 3rd Seal Symbol Master! The 3rd Seal Symbol Master was extremely rare even in Yan City. He actually refused to believe that Lin Dong could reach this level!
"I wonder if Master Wei Tong dares to accept?" Lin Dong smiled.
"Well, you're just trying to buy time, right?" Wei Tong laughed.
Lin Dong declined to comment as he looked at Wei Tong and said: "You have two options, you have two, You can make our Steel Wood Manor and our entire Lin Family to submit to you without suffering any losses. Or, if you choose to fight now, our Lin Family will fight fiercely against you, and eventually, I will escape.”
When he heard the last three words, Wei Tong's face involuntarily twitched. These words were usually an embarrassing confession, however, when Lin Dong seriously said them, it caused Wei Tong a little trouble ... After all, this was indeed the scenario he feared the most.
He was willing to pay a heavy price to destroy the Lin Family. However, he was afraid of the poisonous snakes lurking in the darkness. Especially since this poisonous snake was extremely talented. This would cause him to be unable to sleep countless nights in the future!
If he wanted to exterminate them, he would have to completely destroy them. When one wanted to get rid of the weeds, he had to pluck out all his roots completely!
However, he was currently not entirely sure that he was able to remove this "root", Lin Dong!
Wei Tong's eyes quickly flickered as he carefully weighed his options.
When they saw his expression, everyone calmed down. All their gazes turned to Wei Tong. His decision today, will determine whether they will become a massive bloodbath or whether they will choose to withdraw…
"Master Wei Tong, what are your options?" A while later, Lin Dong asked gently.
Wei Tong slowly raised his head as he stared at the dagger towards Lin Dong. Soon, he laughed. With a flick of his body, he immediately jumped back onto his horse.
“Alright, I'll accept the bet. However, three months is too long, I will give you two months. In two months, we will have a death match at the Yan City Duel Arena. I'll wait for you there. However, during this period of time, your Lin Family was forbidden from leaving Qingyang City. My spies from the Blood Cloth Sect will continue to monitor you. If you dare to leave, my Blood Cloth Sect will slaughter all of you!'
"Let's go!"
That Wei Tong was a strict person. With a shout, he turned his horse and left. Leading the horde, he headed to the outskirts of Qingyang City. Behind him, the rest of the forces of the Blood Cloth Sect also turned into a tidal wave as they quickly followed.
As he stood on top of the tree, Lin Dong stared at the quickly departing troops. His facial expression slowly turned serious. Two months…
In two months, he would have to reach the level of the 2nd Seal Symbol Master, or a great disaster would befall his Lin Family!
