CHAPTER 1137: CHAPTER 1137: VARIOUS FORCES GATHER

At this moment, the water bandits in front of him didn’t act rashly, and Lin Chen naturally knew the reason.

Although the teleportation portal was right in front of them, with a vortex suspended in the air, it hadn’t been activated.

The portal was closed; if everyone fought fiercely now, it would lead to mutual destruction. Fighting before the portal opens would only benefit those coming later.

Before long, martial artists arrived from two directions, led by Su Dongyu and Tang Tianpeng.

At this moment, only Su Dongyu and Su He remained on Su Dongyu’s side.

Things weren’t optimistic with Tang Tianpeng’s side either; only ten out of twenty members of the Tang Family remained.

At this moment, Su Dongyu’s face showed hatred, his eyes full of murderous intent as he looked at Lin Chen and Su Yun.

Lin Chen couldn’t be bothered with Su Dongyu; this mad dog bites anyone it sees, clearly incompetent himself yet wanting to vent his anger on them.

If Su Dongyu really started barking crazily at Lin Chen like a mad dog, Lin Chen wouldn’t mind taking his life.

At this moment, Lin Chen came to Yu Weilian, who was in Yang Minghui’s team.

"Sister Yu, hope you didn’t encounter any danger in the secret realm?"

Lin Chen looked at Yu Weilian and asked, relieved upon observing that she wasn’t harmed.

"I’m fine..."

Yu Weilian shook her head slightly, a bitter smile tugging at the corner of her mouth.

She was indeed fine, thanks to Yang Minghui’s protection.

However, following Yang Minghui’s team this time had burdened Yang Minghui greatly. Several times, Yang Minghui faced the water bandits bravely to keep her from getting hurt, resulting in injuries and narrowly escaping life danger.

Yu Weilian wanted to crush the emergency teleportation jade slip, but Yang Minghui resolutely disagreed. Yang Minghui feared Yu Weilian would be unsafe once she was out of sight.

Besides, Yang Family’s elders did not know Yang Minghui’s gender identity.

Because of Lin Chen and Duan Yuanfeng’s affair, everyone believed Lin Chen and Yang Minghui were at odds over a woman.

Thus, in the minds of the Yang Family elders, they wished to eliminate Yu Weilian. If the Yang Family offended Lin Chen, such an influential figure, because of this femme fatale, it would be disastrous.

So, if Yu Weilian teleported back to the flying boat of the Four Great Families, she still wouldn’t be safe.

"Sister Yu, with your cultivation, you mustn’t take risks in the upcoming matters with the ancient ruins."

Lin Chen looked at Yu Weilian and spoke calmly.

Lin Chen knew Yu Weilian’s cultivation and strength well; even Su Yun was stronger. How could Lin Chen be at ease letting her participate in the dangerous ancient ruins ahead?

"Hmph, talking sweetly; if not entering, then are you waiting here with Weilian?"

Yang Minghui felt uneasy seeing Lin Chen and Yu Weilian walking closely together, immediately stepping closer to Yu Weilian and glaring at Lin Chen.

Looking at this dead demon in front of him, Lin Chen frowned slightly; meeting him is like encountering explosives, clearly a man but acts like a complaining woman.

If it weren’t for the guy’s special identity and Yu Weilian seemed bewitched by him, defending him at every turn, Lin Chen would really want to kill this dead demon with one strike.

"Then once inside the cave, can you ensure Sister Yu’s safety?"

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui, secretly thinking how stupid this dead demon was.

How dangerous are the ancient ruins, not to mention these water bandits causing trouble secretly?

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Yang Minghui looked at Lin Chen; although she was at a loss, she was still defiant. She couldn’t do anything; did Lin Chen have a solution?

"I have my way; Sister Yu, follow me."

As Lin Chen spoke, he pulled Yu Weilian’s hand to leave.

Upon seeing this, Yu Weilian blushed, letting Lin Chen hold her hand without resisting.

However, she glanced back at Yang Minghui, nodded to him to reassure him, as naturally Lin Chen wouldn’t harm her.

"You all stay here without any actions; wait for me to return."

Lin Chen said to Su Yun and others, then pulled Yu Weilian away swiftly.

In the distance, Yang Minghui stomped her feet angrily, while Su Yun and others cursed the dead demon under their breath; what normal man behaves like that?

Yang Minghui looked at Su Yun, Su Lie, and others, deeply surprised.

She hadn’t expected that in less than two months, Su Yun had recovered his cultivation from being a waste and rapidly reached several levels of the Nirvana Realm.

Not only Su Yun, but even the cultivation of Su Yun and other Su Family disciples seemed to have advanced since entering Xindi Water City.

"Could these guys have gained other opportunities besides killing water bandits in Water City?"

Yang Minghui was baffled internally.

Little did she know, the phenomenon caused by Lin Chen’s enlightenment one day with the Great Dao Resonance was due to Lin Chen.

Moreover, the powerful aura from Lin Chen’s enlightenment covered the whole Tan Shui Village, benefiting everyone, including Su Family disciples and the martial artists of Tan Shui Village.

Of course, Shi Yu and Su Yun benefited the most.

Afterwards, Lin Chen instructed everyone not to mention the events of that day, and everyone naturally agreed repeatedly.

It was a joke; having witnessed Lin Chen’s extraordinary nature and believing he was from a Super Power, who dared to offend him? Naturally, they kept quiet about it.

At this moment, after leaving the others’ sight with Yu Weilian, Lin Chen immediately used the Qiankun Escape Talisman along with the Purple Thunder Shield Beam Technique, taking less than an hour to reach Tan Shui Village.

Then, Lin Chen entrusted Yu Weilian to Shi Yu for care and returned to Su Yun and the others.

When Lin Chen returned, having used the Qiankun Escape Talisman without Yu Weilian, it took even less than half an hour.

Upon returning to the Seventh Water Region, the City Lord of Xindi Water City, Gu Yong’an, had arrived there with Xindi Water City’s strong cultivators.

With the young Heavenly Prides of the Four Great Families present, Gu Yong’an assumed those water bandits wouldn’t act recklessly; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare bring people to confront the water bandits.

At this moment, Gu Yong’an brought close to five hundred people, having rallied all the strong cultivators from the Twelve Water Regions, including Shi Lijian and Shi Zhongshan.

Yet even so, without the young Heavenly Prides of the Four Great Families here, he wouldn’t have the confidence to confront the water bandits.
