"Trash! A bunch of trash! I said, don't use weapons!"
"Alive! I want it alive! If you dare to injure it with that sword again, believe it or not, I will rip off one of your arms!"
In the backyard of the manor villa, several junior warriors and numerous martial masters were besieging Xiao Bai Long with a storm-like intensity. Lin Chen stood to the side, repeatedly berating those ineffective warriors and martial masters.
Xiao Bai Long let out a ferocious roar, its face twisted and its gaze savage, fully unleashing its beastly nature as a member of the dragon race!
It must be said that the innate abilities of the dragon race were indeed formidable. Despite its strength only reaching the level of an advanced martial master, a single breath of dragon energy was enough to instantly turn even advanced martial masters into pools of blood, dying on the spot!
However, a powerful offense didn't necessarily mean it had a strong defense.
Whether it was the strikes of advanced martial masters or junior warriors, they inflicted severe injuries on the dragon. If not for their hesitation in wanting to capture it alive, sparing it some mercy, Xiao Bai Long might already be dead by now!
Thus, Xiao Bai Long was covered in wounds at this moment.
Scorching dragon blood dripped from its wounds onto the ground.
Even though it was gravely injured, Xiao Bai Long showed no signs of surrendering!
"Stop it, all of you!!"
"Xiao Bai Long hasn't hurt anyone! Why are you hurting it!!"
On the side, Su Ling'er was being restrained tightly by two advanced martial masters. Unable to break free, she could only cry out tearfully, desperately begging the Lin family members attacking Xiao Bai Long to stop.
Just a little while ago, she had been training while feeding Xiao Bai Long.
Xiao Bai Long, seemingly full and bored, wanted to bask in the sun. It flapped its wings and flew out of the house, lying on the lawn in the manor's backyard.
But that flight startled a neighbor, who thought a ferocious beast had broken into the base. They immediately reported it to the enforcement office.
Coincidentally, there were people from Lin Chen's faction in the enforcement office. When they heard it was a dragon, pure white like jade, they quickly reported the news to him. Lin Chen wasted no time bringing a group of martial masters to capture it!
The intrusion of so many strangers terrified Su Ling'er.
Xiao Bai Long quickly flew over, shielding Su Ling'er with its wings, roaring angrily at the uninvited guests.
Upon seeing Xiao Bai Long's true form, Lin Chen was ecstatic. Without hesitation, he ordered its capture.
However, they initially underestimated Xiao Bai Long's power. A single breath of dragon fire burned several people into ashes, and a single breath of dragon energy killed advanced martial masters instantly!
Fortunately, the Lin family reacted swiftly and launched a fierce counterattack against Xiao Bai Long.
The villa's walls were pierced in an instant, and dust fell incessantly.
Facing so many junior warriors and agile attacks from advanced martial masters, Xiao Bai Long was utterly powerless. It could only spew dragon energy and dragon fire to hold them off… but the disparity in strength was far too great in the end.
"Release the capture net!"
Suddenly, someone shouted an order, and an iron chain net descended from above, enveloping Xiao Bai Long entirely.
Xiao Bai Long struggled desperately but couldn't break free from the specially designed iron chain net.
The net was drawn tighter, binding Xiao Bai Long firmly. No matter how much it thrashed or roared, it was futile.
Lin Chen was overjoyed, his expression brimming with excitement. "This will make me the greatest contributor in the Lin family!"
As the Lin family's next heir, he needed significant achievements to gain the respect of others. And this sky-sovereign white dragon was the perfect way to appease the wrath of Martial Commander Lin Futian, making it Lin Chen's greatest asset in the family!
"Release Xiao Bai Long!! Please, I beg you!! It hasn't hurt anyone, really!!"
Su Ling'er continued to weep and plead.
"Little girl, do you know how severe a crime it is to privately keep a ferocious beast without government approval?"
"The fact that we didn't kill you on the spot is already a concession, considering you helped us find this sky-sovereign white dragon!"
"Now tell me, how did you get this sky-sovereign white dragon?"
Lin Chen walked over with a smile, his eyes narrowing. "Or more precisely, who is the force backing you? If you confess, I can make things easier for you."
Advanced Martial General Lin Fangwu had encountered six junior martial masters in the wild while carrying a dragon egg. Lin Fangwu died, and the dragon egg disappeared.
Now, the egg had appeared in the base and was in the hands of a young girl.
Given this, how could Lin Chen believe the girl didn't have someone behind her?
"I… I don't know…" Su Ling'er bit her lip.
"Little girl, I know you're scared. You even broke your identity card from the core area… but do you think that will help? Those martial masters know it's the Lin family acting, so they wouldn't dare interfere!"
"It's best you tell me the truth… because the force behind you has provoked the one faction it shouldn't have: the Lin family!"
"No one can offend the Lin family and walk away unscathed… So, little girl, this is for your sake. Be honest, and you'll be treated leniently."
Lin Chen's eyes were sharp, his smile cold and threatening.
The dignity of the Lin family allows no defiance!
The dragon egg incident caused Martial Commander Lin Futian to suffer serious injuries, forcing him into seclusion to recuperate. The entire affair originated from the force that stole the dragon egg!
The Lin family was determined to root out this force and execute the six junior martial masters who killed Lin Fangwu!
"I really don't know… Please, spare Xiao Bai Long!"
Su Ling'er continued to plead tearfully.
"Sigh…" Lin Chen sighed and shook his head. "There's nothing I despise more than weeping women!"
"If she knows nothing, then kill her. It'll serve as a warning to her backers!"
As he spoke, he turned and waved his hand, signaling an execution. Follow current novels on noveⅼfire.net
As the future head of the Lin family, decisiveness was a must. Even if it involved a young girl, as long as it touched the family's interests, he wouldn't show mercy!
"Why haven't you acted yet?"
"What's wrong? Have you grown soft-hearted?"
But after walking a few steps, Lin Chen still didn't hear the sound of blades meeting flesh. His brows furrowed in irritation.
He turned back to see the two advanced martial masters restraining Su Ling'er standing frozen in place, their expressions rigid.
"You two useless fools! Why are you hesitating? Do it now!"
Lin Chen yelled angrily.
As soon as he finished, the two advanced martial masters suddenly went limp and collapsed forward and backward onto the ground.
Only then did blood begin to seep across the grass.
Lin Chen's pupils constricted sharply!
He felt an icy sensation on his neck… along with an overwhelming killing intent behind him!
