"What? You an he just let off like that?"
Zhao Yuntian looked at Zhao Lingxi, even more surprised in his heart.
He was filled with curiosity as to why the young genius would do such a thing. Was he not worried that by sparing him on account of Zhao Lingxi, it would incite the anger of his n?
However, Zhao Yuntian did not know that his worries were completely unnecessary.
In the army of the Jade Cauldron Sect, absolutely no one dared to be dissatisfied or complain about Lin Chen’s actions.
The soldiers of the Jade Cauldron Sect were well aware that what they had now was tens of tis better than before, and it was all thanks to Lin Chen.
"Father, be at ease. The Lord has already arranged everything. You were plotted against by Zhao Zhongtian, falling into his conspiracy, which led to these misunderstandings. Fortunately, it was only minor injuries on both sides. I have used my Contribution Value to exchange for so elixirs to compensate the soldiers."
Zhao Lingxi’s words brought smiles to the faces of the wounded mbers of the Dark Division and the Battle Eagle Squad.
Originally, their mission was only to escort, and even if they successfully escorted the Lingxi Comrce Guild to Yunfei Kingdom, the military rits they would receive wouldn’t be much.
However, this injury ant they could receive elixirs and cultivation resources, which, to them, was a blessing in disguise. As a result, they no longer harbored any resentnt toward Zhao Yuntian.
After all, Zhao Yuntian had not intended to kill them from the start, and it was indeed a misunderstanding.
The Lord had considered all this so thoroughly and had specifically sought benefits from President Lingxi to make ands for them. If they still bore grudges, then it would be their own ingratitude.
Upon hearing Zhao Lingxi’s words, Zhao Yuntian was profoundly shocked.
Firstly, he was astonished that the young genius had already been aware of everything, and he marveled at how well-inford the Jade Cauldron Sect was.
Secondly, he was amazed at how ticulously Lin Chen had arranged everything, both pacifying the soldiers’ grievances and extending a favor to Zhao Lingxi.
A person like this truly deserved the title of a young genius.
In just four years, he had beco the leader of the Jade Cauldron Sect, a feat nothing short of miraculous.
And it seed Zhao Lingxi had gained his favor, which was truly her good fortune.
Zhao Zhongtian, upon hearing Zhao Lingxi directly address him by na, flew into a rage, for, after all, he was her Imperial Uncle, a relative of her own family, yet she was so disrespectful towards him, costing him his dignity.
However, Zhao Zhongtian had calculated against Zhao Yuntian in such a way that Zhao Lingxi had the intent to kill him. How could she respectfully call him Imperial Uncle? He was simply wishful thinking.
After Zhao Yuntian was taken away by Zhao Lingxi, Yu Jin took custody of Zhao Zhongtian and the other eleven Zhao Family disciples, escorted back by Ye i, to the prisons of the Dark Division.
There, the Dark Division had ten thousand thods to make a martial artist who was unwilling to speak, reveal their secrets...
Before long, Lin Chen arrived there.
"Greetings, my Lord!"
The people of the Dark Division paid their respects to Lin Chen with utmost reverence. This man, like a deity to them, had granted them all they had today.
Lin Chen went to the cell where Zhao Zhongtian was imprisoned; his expression was dark, and a killing intent inadvertently emanated from him.
Years ago, when Zhao Lingxi asked him to spare the Zhao Family, Lin Chen, in consideration of the services Zhao Lingxi had rendered him, agreed. He thought that as long as he did not trouble the Zhao Family, its mbers would stay in line.
After all, his main body within the Formation Sect was gaining fa, which should make the Zhao Family wary.
Yet, these mbers of the Zhao Family dared to seek death, caused trouble for the Lingxi Comrce Guild, and even attempted robbery.
If Lin Chen had not been vigilant and dispatched people from the Dark Division and the Battle Eagle Squad to escort, this ti the Zhao Family might have succeeded.
Actually, if that batch of resources had fallen into the Zhao Family’s hands, it would indeed have been a substantial blow to the Jade Cauldron Sect, and those resources would have significantly strengthened the Zhao Family.
At that mont, Xu Ma’an had been invited by Lin Chen to the prison as well.
Xu Ma’an, looking at the Zhao imperial kin who had once demanded his respect, was filled with a multitude of emotions.
In those days, the Jade Cauldron Sect used to act according to the Great Fla Imperial Family’s wishes.
But now, the Great Fla Imperial Family was no more, and the Jade Cauldron Sect had taken its place. The growth it had experienced was now countless tis more than the previous Imperial Family, certainly at least a hundredfold or more.
"Years ago, in consideration of Zhao Lingxi’s plea, I spared your Zhao Family, with the expectation that you could behave yourselves."
"Even if there was discontent, it should have dissolved slowly under the growing power of my Jade Cauldron Sect."
"However, I did not expect you to remain discontented, stirring up trouble between the Jade Cauldron Sect and the Lingxi Comrce Guild, wishing internal strife within my sect. Such a vicious sche, indeed, only the Zhao Family could concoct."
"Since that is the case, there is no longer any need for the Zhao Family to exist."
"Ye i, make quick work of this matter. After tomorrow, I do not want to see any mber of the Zhao Family bloodline, eradicate them completely!"
Lin Chen looked at Zhao Zhongtian and the elders and relatives behind him and spoke coldly.
Of course, Lin Chen’s reference to mbers of the Zhao Family bloodline naturally did not include Zhao Lingxi and Zhao Yuntian.
Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Zhao Yun and Zhao Tian of the Zhao Family suddenly lost their composure.
Because when Zhao Zhongtian initially dragged them to ambush the Lingxi Comrce Guild, that wasn’t part of the plan.
Hadn’t he said their purpose was to win over Zhao Yuntian to their side, and then have Zhao Lingxi plea for rcy, in order to extricate the Zhao Family from danger? They had never truly intended to harm the Lingxi Comrce Guild from start to finish.
On the way to Cloud Sky City, being escorted by the Dark Division, Zhao Yun and Zhao Tian had sensed that sothing was amiss, and now they finally understood that they had been played by Zhao Zhongtian.
As elders of the Zhao Family, their actions were naturally all for the sake of the Zhao Family. How could they conceive an idea of mutual destruction, knowing that in doing so they would bang an egg against a rock? Moreover, they were well aware that the current Zhao Family was not in a position to contend with Lin Chen.
"It’s a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding!"
"Young Master Lin Chen, things are not as they seem. We have been deceived by Zhao Zhongtian, our only goal was to have Zhao Yuntian join our cause, to have our niece Zhao Lingxi intercede on our behalf with you for forgiveness. We never had the intent to harm the Lingxi Comrce Guild at all."
