69: Chapter 69: Complete Surrender 69: Chapter 69: Complete Surrender Chu Fengmian could see that Lin Chengfeng’s arrogant confidence hinged entirely on the protective Jade Talisman.
Today, it would be Chu Fengmian who would break his reliance completely, also giving him a stark awakening.
“Break this Jade Talisman?
Can you manage that?”
Lin Chengfeng sneered with a hint of disdain.
This Jade Talisman had helped him through countless crises already, transforming danger into safety no matter the peril.
He didn’t believe that Chu Fengmian truly had the ability to break this talisman.
But the next second, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
The barrier before Lin Chengfeng had completely shattered, and the Jade Talisman hanging around his neck had also broken apart into pieces scattered on the ground.
How is this possible!”
Lin Chengfeng’s face went blank; his long-relied-upon Jade Talisman had been so effortlessly smashed to bits in Chu Fengmian’s hands.
Chu offers you two choices: submit and become a servant like your father, and Mr.
Chu will allow you to live.”
Chu Fengmian’s expression was icy as he looked at Lin Chengfeng.
Don’t even think about it!”
Lin Chengfeng’s words had not yet fallen when his voice abruptly stopped.
His neck had been casually snapped by Chu Fengmian, and he fell to the ground, dead.
“Not submit, and there’s only the path of death.
Chu Fengmian turned his head to address the Lin estate disciples, his voice coldly issuing forth.
All the Lin estate disciples spoke at once, each one kneeling to the ground.
Having witnessed Chu Fengmian’s methods, and with the head of the Lin estate now a servant to Chu Fengmian, the second elder bound by Chu Fengmian, and Lin Chengfeng dead by Chu Fengmian’s hand, they lacked the courage to resist.
They were well aware of Chu Fengmian’s methods: he killed without the slightest hesitation.
Chu Fengmian’s mind was resolute, and he understood.
The affairs of the Lin estate were nearing resolution.
The agreement of his body’s past life had been fulfilled by Chu Fengmian.
“Uncle Lin, please come this way.”
Chu Fengmian glanced at the third elder and spoke calmly.
The two of them entered the largest palace of the Lin estate, once the domain of the Lin estate’s master, now belonging to Chu Fengmian.
“I wonder, Uncle Lin, do you have any questions?”
Chu Fengmian sat in his chair, looking at the third elder on the side, and asked.
This third elder had always been somewhat hesitant, as if there were something he wanted to say.
“Feng Mian, are you really not possessed by a demon?”
The third elder looked at Chu Fengmian and said in a daze.
This made Chu Fengmian feel somewhat amused inside.
He hadn’t expected that this third elder who had always trusted him now harbored such suspicions.
However, it was no surprise, considering how rapidly Chu Fengmian’s strength had progressed, reaching levels unattainable for an ordinary person or martial artist.
“If I were possessed by a demon, would I still be here conversing with Uncle Lin today?
Chu Fengmian replied with a smile.
“I merely had an extraordinary encounter in an ancient cave in the Wildlands, where my strength suddenly surged.”
Chu Fengmian had ventured to the Wildlands, and the third elder was aware.
The appearance of cave abodes in the mountain range was always considered to be a stroke of fortune.
There were indeed numerous martial artists who, after legendary encounters, soared to the heavens overnight.
When Chu Fengmian said this, there was indeed nothing wrong with it.
The secrets of Chu Fengmian himself were all too astonishing; to tell these three elders would likely bring them fatal disasters.
Sometimes, knowing less is a good thing.
“To actually encounter an ancient cave dwelling, such an adventure is truly remarkable.”
Although the third elder had already guessed, hearing Chu Fengmian say it still shocked him.
He roughly thought that the terrifying improvement in Chu Fengmian’s strength, aside from demonic possession, could only be from a huge stroke of luck.
“Feng Mian, it seems you’re also a man of great fortune, to be able to have such adventures.
Your future achievements are boundless.”
The third elder sighed.
He had always been worried that Chu Fengmian would be a waste, doomed to mediocrity his entire life, but now Chu Fengmian’s performance was indeed heartening.
“In the future, under your leadership, Linwu City will surely flourish even more.”
“Regarding this matter, Uncle Lin, you should continue to hold the position of City Lord of Linwu City in the future.”
Chu Fengmian suddenly spoke.
“Managing Linwu City is not indeed my strong suit; better for Uncle Lin to take over.
Moreover, in the future, I will leave Linwu City.
It would be best for Uncle Lin to take the position of City Lord of Linwu City.”
Being the City Lord was actually just a wish from this body’s previous life.
Now that it had been fulfilled, Chu Fengmian naturally had no intention to stay in Linwu City any longer.
The Nine Domains, how flourishing it was; staying in Linwu City, even if Chu Fengmian was powerful enough to reign supreme, he would still be a frog in a well after all.
Only by heading to more prosperous areas could he further temper himself.
The third elder spoke out, his voice not too surprised.
He had already guessed that with Chu Fengmian’s current strength and talent, staying in Linwu City was nearly impossible.
Linwu City’s pond was too small; it could no longer contain Chu Fengmian.
If Chu Fengmian wanted to become a true powerhouse, he couldn’t stay confined within Linwu City forever.
“That’s right, I plan to head to Jijing City to join the Wusheng Academy.”
In this Wusheng Kingdom, the number one force was the Wusheng Academy.
If Chu Fengmian wanted to take another step forward, he indeed could only join the Wusheng Academy.
The third elder nodded.
“With your strength, joining the Wusheng Academy will be without issue.”
“But right now, countless disciples of Linwu City are still restless, hoping to manage, which won’t be easy.”
The third elder’s brow furrowed as he spoke.
On the surface, although they had all submitted to Chu Fengmian, in reality, many disciples of Linwu City were still very disobedient towards Chu Fengmian.
Their submission to Chu Fengmian was only due to the situation being forced upon them.
Many disciples of Linwu City still hoped that in three days, when the Great Elder of Linwu City returned, they might suppress and deal with Chu Fengmian.
Under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult for the third elder to win everyone over.
“In three days, everything will become clear.”
Chu Fengmian said assuredly.
After he thoroughly defeated the Great Elder of Linwu City in three days, no one within Linwu City would dare to rebel against Chu Fengmian anymore.
“This Lin Jingshan has already been restrained by me and submits to me.
Now I hand over this restriction to Uncle Lin; from now on, Uncle Lin will control Lin Jingshan.”
Chu Fengmian looked at the third elder and suddenly pointed a finger toward the elder’s forehead.
A spell formula appeared in the elder’s mind, precisely the one that contained the method to control the Heavenly Life and Death Seal.
With another Divine Sea Realm martial artist overseeing, those disciples of Linwu City wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.
“I will go into closed-door cultivation for three days, and I will come out after three days.”
After saying this, Chu Fengmian entered into the secret chamber.
