Chapter 135 Forgery
But suddenly, the attendant's internal energy exploded, an invisible wave fiercely pressing down on Lin Yuan. This level of intensity would be hard to bear even for a martial artist at the peak of Qi Meridian.
Simultaneously, the man reached out both hands, one grabbing Lin Yuan's wrist, the other moving to seize Lin Yuan with his elbow. The speed was lightning-fast, like iron claws, nearly grabbing Lin Yuan's joint in an instant.
Feeling his hand fully grasping Lin Yuan's right arm, the man snorted: "Young Master Lin, must you be so disgraceful? Why bother?"
As he spoke, he moved his foot, intending to drag Lin Yuan out the door.
But at this moment, it caught him off guard. It should be known that he was at the Lingyuan Realm, capable of moving even a stone block three feet square, yet applying such strength to Lin Yuan saw him unmoving.
Lin Yuan's eyes chilled, scanning the other's face, and with a gentle exertion, he countered with a palm.
The attendant felt a numbness in his hand, the power in the other's arm was simply formidable. In front of him, it was like trying to bind a raging bull with a spider's web; it was completely futile.
Slap!
The attendant felt his vision darken. A palm as swift as lightning landed on his face in an instant.
"Um!"
The attendant let out a muffled groan, his body flying straight three feet, collapsing on the ground in no time.
At this moment, he instinctively covered his already swollen face. Blood, mixed with shattered teeth, continuously spilled from his mouth.
"???
Everyone present was taken aback!
"What did we just see? Who struck first? Was it Lin Yuan?"
"That's not right, although that attendant is the steward, his strength is Lingyuan, not much inferior to ours, he's one of Master Cai's trusted aides, yet he was knocked down by Lin Yuan with just a slap?"
"What kind of power does Lin Yuan have? How did he do it?"
The crowd looked on incredulously at this scene.
Jin Shengzhe, at the head, just now holding a casual posture, immediately sat up straight upon seeing Lin Yuan's actions, utterly shocked within: "Does Lin Yuan possess such strength??"
Cai Yufeng, who had just had a confident expression, was now frozen.
Just before the attendant acted, he had secretively instructed the attendant to capture Lin Yuan and humiliate him, provoking him to make a move.
Lin Yuan indeed made a move, but the effect was way beyond his expectations.
Just as the crowd was still in shock.
Smack!
Lin Yuan stepped on the attendant's chest.
"I said, today I will take Qi Yu away, and no one can change that!"
"Yet you don't believe!"
Lin Yuan glanced at the person; just now, he could see from Qi Yu's eyes the disgust towards this man. Clearly, he had exerted significant pressure on Qi Yu.
Now that action has been taken, a price must be paid. And now, it's time to settle the score.
Lin Yuan thought of this and his gaze suddenly chilled.
Creak!
The man's chest bone was shattered, his chest caved in.
"Lin Yuan! How dare you!"
Upon hearing the sound of breaking bones, Cai Yufeng only just realized that his subordinate might have already been severely injured by Lin Yuan!
As Cai Yufeng spoke, his body suddenly surged, appearing three feet in front of Lin Yuan.
At this moment, his fury knew no bounds, his eyes glaring fiercely, about to erupt.
"Heh!"
Lin Yuan chuckled softly, revealing a jade plaque.
"Cai Yufeng, are you sure you want to act?" Lin Yuan held the red string of the jade plaque, letting it be clearly visible to everyone: "Do you dare to act?"
Lin Yuan's eyes shot cold beams, the sound emerging from his nasal cavity: "Hmm? Dare you?"
Seeing the jade plaque, the furious Cai Yufeng felt like a kettle's lid pressed down, no matter how boiling, he couldn't overcome the jade plaque's suppression.
"Ah!"
Cai Yufeng roared, venting his rage on a nearby round table with a swipe.
Bam!
Platters and dishes clattered wildly on the ground.
"Sect disciple jade plaque, how do you have a sect disciple jade plaque?"
Cai Yufeng roared, his heart both shocked and angry.
With his status, if he rashly engaged with a sect disciple, it would be a taboo. Officially, sect disciples hold the greatest authority, while his trusted aides within the sect, despite their activities, are fundamentally lower than disciples.
The personnel present at this sight were also dumbfounded.
"When did he, he, he get the Fire Crow Sect disciple jade plaque?"
"That's the Fire Crow Sect, a sect that scarcely recruits from the lower city. How did Lin Yuan obtain a plaque so easily! On what basis?"
"Could it be that Lin Yuan caught the eye of the Dapeng Divine Sovereign, and seeing Lin Yuan's talent, brought him into the sect?"
The crowd felt intense shock.
"Thank goodness I didn't speak out just now, otherwise offending Lin Yuan would mean serious trouble later."
"Just earlier, I was thinking despite Lin Yuan having high talent, from another perspective, he's intellectually lacking, and acts improperly, bound to meet a tragic end. I didn't expect this mindset to be hidden so deeply!"
Clearly, Lin Yuan's identity plaque made them both envious and fearful.
Those who mocked Lin Yuan earlier now wished to bury their heads under the table, fearing Lin Yuan's gaze might linger on them.
"Your plaque is fake!"
At this moment, Jin Shengzhe stood up, a stern look filling his brow, coldly declaring.
With Jin Shengzhe's statement, the already shocked crowd couldn't help but suck in breath.
"Fake, fake?" Someone felt their nerves were already unraveled, "No, impossible, right?"
This series of shocks seemed to have robbed them of thinking ability.
"Could Lin Yuan really falsify his identity plaque?"
Some retained a sliver of sanity: "If the plaque were forged, and discovered by Meng Zhenchuan, he would face certain death; Lin Yuan wouldn't be that foolish. Does Meng Zhenchuan intend to?"
Just then, as the crowd was stirred.
Jin Shengzhe flickered, snatching the plaque from Lin Yuan's hand before anyone could react.
"Such audacity!"
Jin Shengzhe scanned the plaque coldly: "To dare forge a sect disciple identity jade plaque."
Creak!
With force, Jin Shengzhe crushed the refined jade plaque into countless fragments, letting it fall from his palm.
"Lin Yuan, I initially had no intention of bothering with your trivial matters. But to impersonate a sect disciple openly in my presence."
"You truly deserve to die!"
Jin Shengzhe's eyes coldly swept over, with his internal energy raging, a decidedly turbulent energy gathering at his fingertips.
At this moment, Lin Yuan could feel the sharp force at the other's fingertips.
His gaze instantly cooled down.
He still underestimated Jin Shengzhe's shamelessness; a true disciple would actually intervene personally!
Lin Yuan took a deep breath, staring gravely at Jin Shengzhe ahead.
And at this moment, a crisp feminine voice pierced through.
"Jin Shengzhe, do you understand the meaning of face?"
