Chapter 2165: Old Grudges and New Enmities
After the death of King Kunlun, the Patriarch of the Qin Family soon left this place.
And Tang Ku also disappeared without a trace.
This area returned to brightness once again.
As for Lin Sumei, he returned to the mountain peak in the Pavilion, drinking tea alone.
Next to him, a figure soon appeared.
The person leaned on a cane, dressed in Buddhist attire, with a kind and benevolent appearance—it was the Old Ancestor of the Lin family.
It turned out she was also here earlier, but since the three Heavenly Realm Martial Artists were present, she didn't come out.
Now that the great battle was over, and the Patriarch of the Qin Family and Tang Ku had already left, she finally stepped out.
After she emerged, Lin Sumei said, "Lin Dong is like you imagined, he indeed didn't die."
Yes, the first person to realize that Lin Dong hadn't died was the Old Ancestor of the Lin family.
She understood the existence of King Kunlun, so it didn't take her long to react—that the battle between King Kunlun and Lin Dong was very likely an act.
She was just not certain.
Moreover, she couldn't see through what method King Kunlun used to deceive even the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.
Until today, everything was finally confirmed!
It turns out the Heavenly Forbidden Technique is actually so powerful, capable of creating a phantom that fools the Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.
The Old Ancestor of the Lin family always wore the same expression on her face, making it hard for others to read her emotions.
Lin Sumei continued to ask, "How are things going over at Tian Ce?"
The Old Ancestor of the Lin family said, "Some succeeded, some failed. A mysterious person came to disrupt, and now we are unsure of that mysterious person's identity."
"It could be a backup left by King Kunlun, or it could be Lin Dong. Of course, it's also possible that it's Lin Dong's backup."
Lin Tiance thought that when he privately attacked Lin Dong's women and subordinates, Lin Sumei and the Old Ancestor of the Lin family wouldn't know.
But little did he know, his small actions were completely under their eyes.
He was always noticed by the two.
If the two hadn't tacitly agreed, how could he have been able to mobilize the Lin family's Earth Realm martial artists?
At this moment, hearing the Old Ancestor of the Lin family, Lin Sumei furrowed his brows and asked, "This matter is important. If those women of Lin Dong are not caught, how can we lure him into the trap?"
The Old Ancestor of the Lin family laughed and said, "Patriarch, rest assured. No one understands Lin Zhantian better than I do, and no one understands Lin Dong better than I do."
"He will definitely come! Even if we haven't caught one of his women, he will come."
"Also, things at Tian Ce's side haven't been completely fruitless. He's already captured Li Qingcheng, and besides that, Qiao Bing is Xiaoxue's younger sister. Xiaoxue's wedding, she will definitely attend. In equivalent terms, now Lin Dong's two women are in our hands."
"He will definitely appear and come to Tian Ce's wedding."
"By that time, with the Patriarch overseeing, as long as he comes, he will surely die."
In the eyes of the Old Ancestor of the Lin family, it doesn't matter whether the person appearing in Demon City and the Southern Capital is Lin Dong or not.
Now they are the ones setting the trap. As long as Lin Dong dares to come to Lin Tiance's wedding, with Heavenly Realm martial artists present, he definitely won't escape.
Lin Sumei nodded and said, "This time, we must kill him."
Having said this, he further instructed, "Spread the news of King Kunlun's death!"
"As for the news of capturing his woman, Li Qingcheng, there's no need to spread it anymore. Presumably, he should already know by now."
The Old Ancestor of the Lin family nodded.
"This tea is good, you should try a sip!" At this moment, Lin Sumei passed a cup of tea in his hand to the Old Ancestor of the Lin family.
This Maitreya Tea, immensely domineering but equally precious.
Even for a Heavenly Realm martial artist, drinking a cup would be greatly beneficial.
And for those below the Heavenly Realm, if they can withstand the effects of the tea, just one sip would be comparable to ten years of arduous cultivation.
The Old Ancestor of the Lin family took the cup, sipped it, and her face instantly changed.
Then she hurriedly started circulating her Inner Qi to refine it.
To think that her dignified peak Ninth Level Grandmaster status, she could only take a sip.
Imagine then, how extraordinary it was for King Kunlun to drink a whole cup.
...
Meanwhile, in another place, the Southern Capital.
The real Lin Dong had been protecting Bai Jue's side, accompanying her.
As for the matters in Demon City, they were entrusted to Demon Shadow.
His consciousness and Demon Shadow's were interconnected, so he was completely aware of the happenings in Demon City.
Hearing the news about Ye Xiong's death, Gong Fan's betrayal, and Wu Ming's murder, saddened him greatly.
At this time, Bai Zhonglou suddenly rushed towards him.
"It's not good, Ah Lang... Young Master, it's you!"
At this moment, Lin Dong no longer concealed his identity here, having reverted to his original appearance.
Seeing Lin Dong, Bai Zhonglou was dumbfounded, originally coming to report matters. But now he completely forgot.
Surprise, shock, excitement, and other emotions instantly surged within him, with many words to say, but stuck in his throat, unable to speak.
Lin Dong softly called out, "Uncle Bai, it's me!"
"Young Master, you... you really didn't die, you didn't die, that's great, that's great." Bai Zhonglou was overwhelmed with excitement, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Dong asked, "Uncle Bai, you seemed to have something to say just now?"
Only then did Bai Zhonglou remember the things he wanted to say earlier, gaining sudden clarity in that moment.
"Yes, Young Master. Just now, I was wondering why they killed King Kunlun. Now, I finally understand."
"What are you saying?" Hearing Bai Zhonglou's words, Lin Dong was also somewhat stunned.
Bai Zhonglou sighed, "King Kunlun is dead!"
"Although it hasn't been announced who killed him, it's easy to deduce that it's the Heavenly Realm martial artist from Lin of Kunlun."
Lin Dong's mind went blank, with only a buzzing noise remaining.
Before his fake death, he harbored resentment against King Kunlun, believing him to be the enemy who ambushed his parents.
However, after the fake death, he learned that King Kunlun and his father were true 'brothers'. To help him, King Kunlun had exposed his strength as a ten-stage grandmaster.
After the fake death, he was filled with gratitude towards King Kunlun. For he knew, without King Kunlun's help in making a crafty escape, he would surely be besieged by Heavenly Realm martial artists.
At the ninth-level grandmaster stage, he would be doomed if any Heavenly Realm martial artist attacked him.
It was King Kunlun who took the risk with his life to buy him time, allowing him to break through to the ten-stage grandmaster level.
Otherwise, how could he have such an opportunity?
Now, upon hearing the news of his death, Lin Dong naturally felt immensely sorrowful.
Additionally, he felt deep guilt.
He felt it was his fault that led to his death!
Lin Sumei killing him clearly indicated they had deduced something.
"Previously, I had been puzzled why the Kunlun Heavenly Realm martial artist would kill King Kunlun. Now, I finally understand."
"It turns out King Kunlun didn't kill the Young Master before, but instead protected him, sigh..."
Upon seeing Lin Dong, Bai Zhonglou inferred a lot.
Suddenly, his face subtly changed as another matter came to mind.
"Young Master, the Lin family likely suspects that you're still alive. Their capturing of Li Qingcheng and Xiaojue is probably an attempt to lure you into a trap."
"In the coming days, Lin Tiance's wedding is not just a wedding but also a scheme targeting you. You must not go."
Thinking that even King Kunlun was killed by them, Bai Zhonglou believed the Young Master would meet the same fate if he went.
He undoubtedly didn't want the Young Master to 'die' again!
Lin Dong, however, looked toward the direction of the Capital City, softly speaking, "Uncle Bai, I must go this time."
"New and old grudges, they all should be settled!"
