Chapter 1144: Denying to the Death
Facing death, he panicked, for without life, there was nothing.
The Mu Family definitely wouldn't avenge him because this small faction couldn't stand against a super large Sect; so he wouldn't keep silent.
Upon hearing this news, Lin Yifan's rage exploded: "Damn it! That old bastard dared to trick me!"
He would never let the Elder of the Mu Family go, and would definitely make him pay the price!
Seeing Lin Yifan's furious expression, the Elder's trusted aide of the Mu Family pleaded, "Mr. Lin, please don't reveal that I told you the truth willingly, otherwise I'll be in grave danger."
He was just a small cultivator and couldn't afford to offend the Mu Family, so he didn't want to be hunted down, fleeing for his life.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you because it's not your fault."
Lin Yifan immediately stormed back to make the Elder of the Mu Family pay the price.
Watching Lin Yifan leave in a fury, the Elder's trusted aide of the Mu Family knew the Elder was doomed, for offending this Great Demon meant trouble he couldn't escape from.
In truth, he didn't understand why the Elder had to deceive Lin Yifan. Was it really necessary to take such a big risk over just an address?
On the other side, Lin Yifan used the "Peerless Under Heaven" Qinggong to rush swiftly to Ulysses.
He reached Ulysses in less than half an hour.
Without stopping, he continued flying towards the Gambling Stone Workshop.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the Mu Family store at the Gambling Stone Workshop.
At that time, the Sixth Elder of the Long Family was still there.
He was chatting happily with the now-recovered Elder of the Mu Family, discussing various matters.
"Old Mu scoundrel! Get out here!"
Lin Yifan shouted loudly, standing in the courtyard in front of the hall.
Hearing the voice, the Elder of the Mu Family's face turned grave, and fear arose in his heart; he then looked out to see if it was indeed Lin Yifan calling him.
Realizing it truly was Lin Yifan, his panic only intensified.
The fact that Lin Yifan returned so quickly meant he must have sensed something or knew he'd been lied to.
"What a useless person, can't even handle a simple task!"
In his heart, the Elder of the Mu Family couldn't help but chastise that trusted aide.
If the lie couldn't be covered up, he was surely doomed, so he had prepared for the worst.
Sitting in the guest seat, the Sixth Elder of the Long Family didn't understand why Lin Yifan was being so impolite.
He looked over and saw Lin Yifan filled with anger, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on? Why is Brother Lin so furious? What did the Elder of the Mu Family do wrong? What... what's really happening here?"
Even though Lin Yifan had come to confront him, he couldn't panic for fear of exposing himself.
So the Elder of the Mu Family forced himself to remain calm, striding into the hall to face Lin Yifan and politely inquired, "Brother Lin, why are you so angry seeking me?"
"You know what you did, don't you?"
Lin Yifan didn't expect the Elder of the Mu Family to still be so calm at this moment, clearly a seasoned veteran.
"What good deed have I done?" the Elder of the Mu Family inquired.
Lin Yifan charged forward, intending to grab the Elder's throat, but the Elder dodged.
"Brother Lin, what are you trying to do? I tell you, I'm an Elder of the Mu Family, and behind the Mu Family is the Wudang Sect. Offending me is akin to offending the Wudang Sect! This charge, even as the Direct Disciple of the Medicine Saint, you cannot afford to bear!"
"Stop boosting your worth, in the eyes of the large Sects, you are worthless!"
Lin Yifan attacked again, targeting the Elder of the Mu Family.
The Elder of the Mu Family dodged again, preventing Lin Yifan from succeeding.
At this moment, Lin Yifan burst out in anger: "I'll give you one more chance to confess in person, otherwise, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
"I did nothing wrong, why should I confess?"
The Elder of the Mu Family was determined to deceive to the end, not believing Lin Yifan would really dare to kill him.
"Damn it! Then just go to hell!"
With that, Lin Yifan used "Peerless Under Heaven" Qinggong in full pursuit.
The Elder of the Mu Family was terrified; Lin Yifan was much faster now than before, already equivalent to him, perhaps even surpassing him. He was truly afraid now.
Upon verifying, he was no longer a match for Lin Yifan. If he couldn't even avoid this one move, his life truly would end here.
He now had two life-saving straws to grasp at: one, to compromise and confess his wrongdoing, the other, to rely on the Sixth Elder of the Long Family.
The Sixth Elder of the Long Family had a good relationship with Lin Yifan, maybe his intercession would help.
Thus, he called out to the Sixth Elder of the Long Family who was watching nearby, "Brother Long! Help me!"
The Sixth Elder of the Long Family was a good brother to the Elder of the Mu Family, so seeing his brother in trouble, he couldn't just leave him. He risked his life to appear in front of Lin Yifan, blocking his path.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing? This is an Elder of the Mu Family! You can't just kill him without reason, or it will bring disaster upon you."
"Move aside, or I'll kill you too."
Lin Yifan, his rage boiling, could not be stopped by anyone from dealing with this liar.
Seeing the murderous intent in Lin Yifan's eyes, the Sixth Elder of the Long Family trembled. He was a small figure who really couldn't stop Lin Yifan, this Great Demon.
So he stepped aside.
"Brother Long, you..."
Seeing this, the Elder of the Mu Family felt all hope fade.
"Brother Mu, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. Decide for yourself."
The Sixth Elder of the Long Family sighed; although he was friends with the Elder of the Mu Family, he wouldn't lay down his life for him — their friendship hadn't reached that undying loyalty.
"Damn it! In times of danger, no one is reliable!"
The Elder of the Mu Family couldn't help but curse.
This left the Sixth Elder of the Long Family feeling utterly ashamed.
The most selfish one was indeed him. He committed the wrongs and wanted others to bear the consequences. Truly shameless.
Lin Yifan couldn't stand hearing this, and so he rebuked, "You expect innocent people to risk their lives for you, the liar, you shameless scoundrel? Aren't you embarrassed?"
Hearing this rebuke, the Sixth Elder of the Long Family finally understood why Lin Yifan was here: the Elder of the Mu Family had deceived Lin Yifan.
However, the Elder of the Mu Family was indeed vile, stubbornly refusing to admit his lies, even using the Sixth Elder as a shield. Such a person was truly not worth befriending.
After the Sixth Elder of the Long Family stepped aside, Lin Yifan continued his pursuit of the Elder of the Mu Family.
The Elder of the Mu Family decided to fight Lin Yifan.
Although Lin Yifan had defeated him before, what if it was just luck? He wanted a real show of strength against Lin Yifan.
He used powerful martial arts from the Wudang Sect, striking directly at Lin Yifan.
Little did he know he still couldn't escape Lin Yifan's deadly strike.
Lin Yifan used the "Witchcraft Palm."
Now, the first few moves of the "Witchcraft Palm" had been honed to perfection by him. Even the well-informed Medicine Saint couldn't see through its mystery, at most thinking it was Super Martial Arts or Immortal Level Martial Arts he had acquired from a small world.
