Urban Peerless Expert Chapter 2948: 2968: Aren't you traitors bought by the Demon

Chapter 2948: Chapter 2968: Aren’t you traitors bought by the Demon Race?

The raging storm gradually subsided, and Zhen Liuxue sensed the sweeping grounds and instantly located the three attackers.

“Bring them back!”

The Great Demons rushed out without a hint of hesitation.

Lin Chen had said before, “Reward the achievents, punish the faults,” and he truly lived up to those words. The Great Demons like the Black Dragon, who had voluntarily stepped forward to fight alongside Lin Chen, had all received ample rewards.

If they were free beings, these rewards might not seem so significant, but under circumstances where their lives hung by Lin Chen’s decision, and they had no control over their own life and death, Lin Chen still honored his promises.

Since Lin Chen had managed to do as he said, that also ant those who perford exceptionally well could truly earn their freedom if they had enough rits.

They were not fools. Seeing Lin Chen growing stronger by the day and having two quasi-saints by his side, when else to give their best efforts if not now?

Once Lin Chen beca even more powerful to the point he no longer needed their help, earning rits would not be so easy anymore.

Practically speaking, toiling now was like giving tily help. Later efforts would only be icing on the cake.

Just like today, blocking the massive destructive power from the explosion of three Immortal Destruction Bombs and protecting Lin Chen while he was crossing the tribulation was indeed a great rit!

The twenty Great Demons felt imnse gratitude towards those three unlucky attackers. Without their assault, how could they have earned such rits today?

The Great Demons had just risked their lives. Many were injured in the blast, but that didn’t matter, for injuries were even more ritorious!

I have shed blood for the Master; I have borne injuries for the Master!

Soon, the three stealth attackers of the Zhao family were indeed in a sorry state, their robes torn and bloodied, flesh on their bodies significantly torn away, and one of them even missing half a hand.

Being at the very center of the explosion, although they joined forces and did their utmost to preserve their lives, they were severely wounded and had no chance to escape, thus they were captured without resistance.

Zhen Liuxue didn’t bother with them and just let the Great Demons watch over them. Then she turned her head to look at Lin Chen, who was frantically absorbing the spiritual Qi and whose strength was skyrocketing.

How to handle them was Lin Chen’s decision; her only concern was to ensure Lin Chen’s safety, nothing else was within her considerations.

As Lin Chen absorbed the spiritual Qi clean from the sky, when the storm clouds dispersed, and the sunlight once again pierced through the clouds showering down golden hues, Lin Chen successfully broke through the realm and officially beca a Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal, moving a step closer to the peak of Immortal Path.

Lin Chen descended swiftly, landing in front of Zhen Liuxue, and said with a smile, “Senior, you have worked hard!”

Zhen Liuxue returned a slight smile, “Your realm breakthrough seed too easy, no tension or surprises at all, it hardly stirs up spirits.”

Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Isn’t it good to have a smooth progression? Tensions an risks, and I certainly don’t want any accidents.”

Zhen Liuxue nodded towards the three individuals behind, “Turn them over to you.”

Lin Chen’s gaze beca cold as it fell on the three, “Alright, I will handle this!”

Lin Chen walked up to them and calmly asked, “Now, tell about yourselves…”

The three Zhao family mbers exchanged looks of terror. How did things escalate to this point?

What seed like a sure-win situation suddenly reversed—Lin Chen smoothly broke through his realm, while they ended up as prisoners at his feet?

Lin Chen, seeing that the three remained silent, calmly said, “Even if you hide your identities well, you are still Great Luo Celestial Immortals, likely even top-grade, prominent figures. I’ll take you back to the War God Mansion for questioning. Soone is bound to know you.”

He paused, then sneered, “It’s warti now, and I am the captain of the First Corps’ Ninth Division’s Third Squad. I just earned a significant victory for the Human Clan. You tried to assassinate suddenly, which gives every reason to suspect that you and your entire family might have been bought out by the Demon Race to carry out this covert assassination…”

Although initially panicked, the three had clenched their teeth and refused to speak. However, Lin Chen’s subsequent words scared them even more.

If they were really labeled as traitors bought out by the Demon Race, they and their entire family would be dood!

“We’re not traitors!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, we haven’t been bought!”

“We just wanted to kill you because if we didn’t, you would eventually seek revenge against us!”

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, “You think I would seek revenge against you?”

Lin Chen’s eyes scanned over the three, then stopped on a bloody face.

The face wasn’t the one he rembered, but the voice was familiar, and the figure, too, was quite similar.

Lin Chen asked coldly, “Are you that middle-aged man who ambushed a few years ago?”

The man’s expression shifted slightly. He gritted his teeth, but did not deny it. At this point, denial served no purpose.

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over the three and he said with a laugh, “All three of you are from the Zhao family because you guessed that Zhao Pingyang falling into my hands would definitely compromise your Zhao family. So, you decide to strike first, planning to eliminate while I was undergoing tribulation, to end all potential future troubles. Is that the idea?”
