Chapter 4108 - 4127: Carving Out a Path Through Killing

Of course, it was Lin Chen who killed the Wan Shenyuan couple, but it was just that the killer was an unnoticed stone.Ever since Xingxing followed Lin Chen, he has been enlightened and trained in various ways, his IQ grew rapidly, and he lived inside the Tower with Qi accompanying him, looking after him like a big sister.

Lin Chen witnessed Xingxing’s divine soul attack and his ability to kill from afar, so he added special training projects for him.

Targeted attack.

Previously, Xingxing’s divine soul attacks were indiscriminate regional attacks. Though powerful, they were ultimately too scattered. Lin Chen had Xingxing practice changing his attack method to concentrate all his attacks on a single point or a small area.

Simply put, it was like switching from firing dozens of guns across a region to concentrating all firepower on a single point to maximize power.

After several years of practice, Xingxing was already able to precisely control his divine soul attacks.

As a well-known figure, it was easy to find out information about Wan Shenyuan attending the party, and there was only one route from the Wan Family to the party. So, they chose an ambush point based on the auto-pilot route and placed Xingxing in a park at that ambush point.

There were many artificial hills and stones here, who would notice one extra stone?

When Wan Shenyuan’s car entered Xingxing’s attack range, Xingxing gave them a targeted explosion.

Though Wan Shenyuan held a high rank within the Wan Family and was of old age, his strength was only at the peak of the seventh level. After all, promotion depends on potion, but even more on talent; it’s not like having more potions guarantees a promotion.

The Wan Shenyuan couple couldn’t possibly withstand a single strike from Xingxing, and they directly died. The divine soul attack didn’t affect anything else, so the flying car smoothly returned to the manor.

Lin Chen knew the inside story, but others didn’t.

Everyone knew it was Lin Chen who killed the people, but there was no evidence.

If Lin Chen were just an ordinary person, perhaps the Wan Family would directly use their power to seize him and torture him until he confessed. But clearly, Lin Chen’s family were not ordinary people.

Their entire family were Level 8 Martial Artists, possessing various inscrutable means. Moreover, they had the Tianheng Group backing them, and they currently held the influence of many wealthy families.

They dared to use force against Lin Chen, and Lin Chen dared to directly launch a counterattack.

Despite Wan Shenyuan’s strength not being particularly strong, his death was too eerie, which made the Wan Family back off.

If they pressed Lin Chen too hard, might the Wan Family also die quietly like the Wan Shenyuan couple?

After the investigation ended, they not only stopped pursuing the cause of the Wan Shenyuan couple’s deaths, but also promptly delivered twenty bottles of potions.

What’s the use of Wan Shenyuan having high status, he’s dead, and the family’s future is what truly matters.

Wan Shenyuan could originally have negotiated, paid a lesser price, and then fulfilled his promise, but he planned on defaulting when making his decision, so he readily agreed, even ignoring Lin Chen’s threats.

The Wan Family worried that Lin Chen’s retaliation might not be over, so they quickly sent the potions to conclude the matter.

The Federation indeed had laws, but if the other party was strong enough, the laws couldn’t do anything to them, as the other party hadn’t overtly broken any laws.

The death of the Wan Shenyuan couple made all the onlookers feel a chill of fear.

Those who had agreed upon terms with Lin Chen promptly fulfilled their promises.

Dared not delay, completely dared not delay!

With the example of the Wan Shenyuan couple, who would want to be the second Wan Shenyuan?

However much money one has, it must be spent while alive.

The number of people seeking Lin Chen suddenly decreased significantly, because people realized that Lin Chen is not an easy person to deal with, and if they weren’t ready to fulfill their promises, it was better to reconsider.

Those who originally planned to plot against Lin Chen and his people quietly stopped, because Lin Chen truly killed!

Wan Shenyuan was, after all, the Wan Family’s ancestor, with the Wan Family possessing Level 8 potion formulas, numerous enterprises under them, and many high officials in the family. Yet, Lin Chen dared to kill him, didn’t he?

He dared to kill Wan Shenyuan, who else would he dare not kill?

Following this, Lin Chen encountered another group of strange people. They sought Lin Chen not for longevity but to commission assassinations.

These people naturally did not appear directly—instead, they often used anonymous phone calls, offering exorbitant prices and promising to either prepay or give the reward upfront.

Of course, Lin Chen refused altogether, as he’s not a killer.

If he dared to take such commissions, his group would likely not be able to survive, quickly becoming targets themselves.

If he mastered the feared killing techniques and still dared to openly accept assassination orders, who wouldn’t be afraid?

In that scenario, everyone would band together and take down Lin Chen and his people first.

Lin Chen even suspected that some of the people contacting him weren’t sincerely seeking an assassination but were testing him, attempting a sting operation.

After the ruckus with the Wan Family, Lin Chen’s life became peaceful.

Before, those who wanted to target Lin Chen or drive him away stopped causing trouble, and Lin Chen finally prepared the supplies for Chu Jiaxue.

Four types of potions with varying quantities, a large number of high-level energy blocks, accompanied by the high-grade potions needed for eighth-level cultivation, along with a batch of resources for seventh-level cultivation.

Together, these items were tremendously valuable, an astronomical figure.

Lin Chen originally thought of exchanging a couple of favors to cover this expense, but Xu Qingchuan waved his hand.

"Don’t worry about the money, the entire cost is on Young Master Xu."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "This isn’t a small amount. You helping me buy and exchange them is already a great help. I shouldn’t accept rewards without merit."

"How could it be without merit?"

Xu Qingchuan laughed, "You’re assisting me in cultivation, isn’t that meritful? Even not mentioning me, your actions this time have greatly improved Tianheng Group’s situation..."

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "How so?"

Xu Qingchuan explained, "Earlier, the Defensive Faction wanted to leverage the Resource Planet 834 incident and their chosen point of attack was you guys, drawing Tianheng Group into the fray, after which they could launch an assault."

"Originally, my father was prepared to go head-on and clash with them, perhaps even shedding some blood, but didn’t need to since you handled Luo Chenglin, then cooperated with Bai Chenbing, and finally took down the Wan Shenyuan couple, subduing others."

"One act of deterrence, one act of rescue and cooperation, one act of killing establishing might—these people no longer dared to underestimate you, and began to respect you from the heart."

"Since you’re closely associated with our Xu Family, these people also have apprehensions toward us, none willing to be the standout, fearing we might enlist your help against them."

"If we really were to take action, it certainly wouldn’t be against everyone; they’d target the ringleader, which is why no one wanted to stand out. And just like that, this momentum dissipated, and the situation calmed down..."
