Chapter 88

When Chen Chang'an quietly returned to his inn room, he closed the door and, as he turned around, suddenly froze.

Inside his room, in the darkness, three people were sitting.

The scholar in simple clothes, Ji Xuangu, and Fei Xinxi.

"You three... what are you doing? Playing Landlord?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he began to take off his night clothes.

"Landlord? What's that?"

The scholar in simple clothes asked curiously.

"It's a three-player game, often used by some unscrupulous people to mock unhealthy activities."

Chen Chang'an replied casually.

Coffin Lord, "......???"

Who is the unscrupulous person?

I'm not a person at all!

Coffin Lord grumbled inwardly.

Fei Xinxi, however, was not concerned about the game but stared at Chen Chang'an and asked, "Did you go to kill Lin Han and Gu Rou?"

At these words, Ji Xuangu's eyelids twitched.

Chen Chang'an glanced at him and said coolly, "And their daughter."

These words instantly silenced Fei Xinxi and Ji Xuangu.

"This isn't the Great Zhou Kingdom; you can't do as you please. Be careful."

Fei Xinxi said helplessly, but also with a hint of satisfaction.

After all, the annoying Lin Han and Gu Rou were better off dead.

"I understand."

Chen Chang'an nodded without arguing.

After all, the other party was just looking out for him.

Fei Xinxi sighed, rubbed his temples, and asked, "This is Zhongzhou City. Were you discovered by the Sword Bearers?"

"Yes."

Chen Chang'an's answer shocked Fei Xinxi and Ji Xuangu, who both changed color.

"Don't overreact."

At this moment, the scholar in simple clothes spoke, "The boy is back safely, which proves the Sword Bearer couldn't catch him."

Fei Xinxi and Ji Xuangu let out a sigh of relief.

"You brat, if the Lin family or the Sword Bearers come to ask questions tomorrow, you must deny everything, understand?"

Fei Xinxi warned.

"I understand."

Chen Chang'an nodded.

They can suspect me, but they need evidence.

And with the scholar in simple clothes here, they would have to see if he was willing to let them interrogate him forcefully.

"You brat, you're just like the old man said, you can't stand to lose."

Fei Xinxi said helplessly.

"Others don't provoke me, I don't provoke them. If they do, I'll beat them until they're afraid, or I'll kill to stop the killing, to nip the risk in the bud. That's what my lords taught me."

Chen Chang'an said seriously.

Hearing this, even the scholar in simple clothes looked at Chen Chang'an curiously, "Haha, your lords all taught you this?"

Chen Chang'an looked at him in confusion, "Senior, do you know my lords?"

The scholar in simple clothes was taken aback, then drank a cup of wine and laughed, "No, I don't."

Chen Chang'an became suspicious.

Seeing this, the scholar in simple clothes waved his hand, "Alright, the boy is back, you all go back and rest."

Fei Xinxi and Ji Xuangu nodded.

After they left, Chen Chang'an lay on the bed, slowly recalling, and thought, "Coffin Lord, there are so many strong people here."

"Hmm, so what?"

Coffin Lord said.

"Besides controlling the four swords—Skybreaker, Shadowbreaker, Enemybreaker, and Formationbreaker—I also need to practice the later moves of the World-Burying Sword Technique more!"

Chen Chang'an said.

"You don't have the cultivation to unleash the power of the later moves." Coffin Lord said.

Chen Chang'an nodded, "Let me enter your world, I'll give it a try."

After saying this, Chen Chang'an disappeared from the spot.

Above the bed, a palm-sized ancient bronze coffin floated.

The World-Burying Sword Technique is divided into: Instant Kill, Throat Seal, Heaven Shatter, Earth Destroy, Star Slash, Moon Fall, Sun Break, Immortal Slaughter, and God Shake!

Chen Chang'an had been stuck at Heaven Shatter.

Now he began to try to perform Earth Destroy and Star Slash.

The night passed.

Chen Chang'an came out of the World-Burying Coffin.

When he sat on the bed, he said a bit disappointedly, "Coffin Lord, the time isn't enough. If you could open the Thousandfold Time Realm, that would be great."

Cultivating for a hundred years inside while only one year passes outside... that would be terrifying.

Chen Chang'an, of course, wanted to continue cultivating inside.

"You need to find the Wheel of Time."

Coffin Lord said, "But this world might not have it, after all, the Wheel of Time can only be created by a great being who understands the laws of time."

"Who knows, maybe a great being who understood the laws of time fell in this world. You can find their cave or the place where they fell."

Coffin Lord knew what Chen Chang'an wanted to ask and said it all.

Chen Chang'an nodded.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Chen Chang'an quickly went out.

He found Fei Xinxi and Ji Xuangu blocking a group of people.

It was Lin Tong.

Lin Tong's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to eat someone.

After all, his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter were all dead.

"Fei Xinxi, my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter are all dead."

Chen Chang'an heard Lin Tong's icy words, which seemed to contain overwhelming killing intent and resentment.

"Oh? They're dead?"

Fei Xinxi and Ji Xuangu put on shocked expressions.

"Congratulations, your son and grandson are dead. I heard you only had one son, oh well! You'll have no descendants."

Fei Xinxi laughed.

Lin Tong glared at Fei Xinxi, "You and Lin Han were once from the Qingxuan Holy Sect, why are you so cruel?"

"Haha, old man, what do you mean?" Fei Xinxi said calmly.

"Did you do it?" Lin Tong gritted his teeth.

"Haha, evidence?" Fei Xinxi shrugged.

They suspected Fei Xinxi because they thought Chen Chang'an didn't have the strength.

Only Fei Xinxi did.

"Fei Xinxi!!! From now on, we will never rest until one of us is dead!!!"

Lin Tong almost spat out each word from his clenched teeth.

"Haha, I'm so scared!"

Fei Xinxi rolled his eyes and said indifferently.

At this moment, another person walked out from a nearby room.

It was the scholar in simple clothes.

As he walked out, the Lin family all took a step back.

The scholar in simple clothes yawned, then his gaze fell on Lin Tong and the others, and he said calmly,

"Shut up, either leave or I'll kill you now and let you reunite with that Lin Han!"

Lin Tong's face turned extremely ugly.

He respectfully said to the scholar in simple clothes, "Senior..."

"Leave!"

Before he could finish, the scholar in simple clothes said calmly.

Lin Tong's face froze.

He glared at Fei Xinxi with venomous eyes and glanced at Chen Chang'an.

Then he could only slink away.

Facing a powerful Sword Lord, they would need their ancestor to intervene.

But would their ancestor really risk a conflict with a Sword Lord for a not-so-core descendant?

"Come, take me to eat, I'm starving."

The scholar in simple clothes said and walked downstairs.

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Ji Xuangu let out a sigh of relief, then happily led the way.

With this powerful protector, everyone would be a bit safer for now.

...

At the same time, at the Jun family.

The three elders of the Jun family finally waited for the guard they had sent to investigate Jun Wu Jian's death to return to the Jun family.

At the same time, the three elders of the Jun family also learned that Chen Chang'an had appeared in Zhongzhou City and had a conflict with the Lin family.

"Scholar in simple clothes? Could it be him!"

The name of the third elder of the Jun family was Jun Yehan.

He looked at the information in his hand, his face filled with shock.

Back in Chang'an City, he had wanted to act against Chen Chang'an, but there was a powerful sword cultivator protecting him in secret!

Now he suspected that person was the scholar in simple clothes!
