188: The Cold Blade Tower was completely destroyed; Uncle Lin Qi's backbone!
Seeing that Chuanjie was uninjured, Chen Changsheng also felt a weight lift from his heart. Hearing Chuanjie's call, Chen Changsheng nodded to Chuanwen and led a group of people through the main gates of the Lin Family estate.
"Who would have thought that the Lin Family's Grand Elder would actually die at the hands of the Little Sword Immortal..."
"One of the Five Great Aristocratic Families was actually suppressed by the Little Sword Immortal alone today. This Lin Family has truly lost a massive amount of Face!"
"Indeed, with the Lin Family in such a state, why hasn't the Lin Clan Chief, Lin Tianlong, shown himself yet? Could he be afraid of the Little Sword Immortal?"
Only after Chen Changsheng and his group entered the Lin Family residence did the crowd begin to gossip. Previously, Chen Chuanjie had been exuding an overwhelming pressure from killing the Lin Family's Grand Elder; under his Aura, no one had even dared to speak!
Hearing the crowd's discussions, the remaining Lin Family members lowered their heads deeply. They knew that the Lin Family's Face had been completely lost today!
From now on in the Prefecture City, whenever the Little Sword Immortal Chen Chuanjie was discussed, the story of him suppressing the Lin Family with a single sword would inevitably be mentioned.
After entering the Lin Family residence, Chen Changsheng's gaze swept over the terrified Lin Family servants. He spoke to Zhao Song, who followed behind him:
"Find them. Even if you have to turn the Lin Family upside down, you must find the person for me!"
Chen Changsheng's voice was extremely cold. He had even made a decision in his heart: if he couldn't find any trace of Cheng An, then even if it meant facing a formidable enemy like Lin Tianlong, he would completely exterminate the Lin Family!
"Yes, Foster Father!"
Zhao Song nodded and then led the Innate Masters behind him to begin the search. The senses of an Innate Master were extremely sharp; as long as Cheng An was in the Lin Family estate, it would be impossible for him to stay hidden. Moreover, Chen Changsheng had arrived at the Lin Family as soon as he received the news.
Even if the Lin Family wanted to move Cheng An, they wouldn't have had the time!
Time passed minute by minute, and soon half an hour had gone by.
Just then, Chen Changsheng heard the sound of fighting coming from deep within the Lin Family estate. Chen Changsheng gave Chuanwen a look, and Chuanwen nodded, quickly rushing toward the front.
A short while later, Chuanwen returned with a dozen Innate Masters, escorting three people who had been severely beaten.
"Father, these three are the Tower Master and vice tower masters of the Cold Blade Tower!"
Chen Chuanwen kicked one of them, forcing him to kneel. The other two were quick-witted and knelt on the ground in unison.
"I won't waste words with you. I will only ask once: where is the child you captured? Those who don't speak, die!"
Chen Changsheng spoke in a cold tone, his eyes devoid of any emotion as they swept over the panicked expressions of the three men.
"My Lord, I don't know. I was only responsible for capturing the person. As for where they are kept, it was all arranged by the Lin Family!"
One of the Cold Blade Tower members said tremulously.
Chen Changsheng didn't say a word, his gaze shifting to Chen Chuanjie.
Chen Chuanjie was exceptionally clever and immediately understood Chen Changsheng's meaning. He drew a long blade and directly slit the man's throat.
"I will ask one more time, where is the person?"
Chen Changsheng's words were neither rushed nor slow, but this method of killing instantly over a single disagreement immediately shattered their psychological defenses.
"My Lord, I only know that Lin Tianlong had the Lin Family members arrange it. The few of us truly don't know!"
"Yes, My Lord, have mercy!"
The remaining two members of the Cold Blade Tower hurriedly pleaded in tears. Chen Changsheng gave a light chuckle and said softly:
"Then you two are of no use either..."
Following this, Chen Chuanwen swung his blade from behind them, slitting the throats of both men.
The Cold Blade Tower, once the number one assassin organization that ran rampant in Annan Prefecture, was thus exterminated, with not a single member left alive.
"Chuanwen, call the Lin Family members over. Let's see if they are afraid of death."
Chen Changsheng's voice was cold. Even if he had to kill every single member of the Lin Family today, he was prepared to do so!
"Understood, Father!"
Chen Chuanwen nodded and walked out of the Lin residence. A short while later, he returned with the group of Lin Family members.
Seeing the three brutally killed members of the Cold Blade Tower, the group became even more terrified, huddling together like quails!
"I have no grudge against your Lin Family, but my Grandson was captured by the Cold Blade Tower, and now the Cold Blade Tower members have appeared in your Lin Family... how do you explain this?"
"I won't waste words with you either. Hand over the person, and I, Chen Changsheng, will leave immediately!"
"If you don't hand them over, I will cut off one of your heads every minute. You can decide for yourselves!"
Chen Changsheng's words were like a clap of thunder, immediately causing a commotion among the Lin Family members. Many whispered to each other as Chen Chuanwen looked at them with an unfriendly gaze.
"Time is almost up!"
Chen Changsheng said in a low voice. Chen Chuanwen then began searching for a target in the crowd. As luck would have it, his first glance fell upon Lin Feng, who was also peeking at him!
The moment their eyes met, Lin Feng instantly shuddered. Already traumatized by Chen Chuanwen, his heart immediately sank!
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! I know!!!"
Feeling that Chen Chuanwen was about to use him as the first example, Lin Feng hurriedly stood out and shouted at the top of his lungs!
"Young Master Lin, we meet again. Tell me, where is the person?"
Seeing Lin Feng, Chen Chuanwen couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart, because every time he saw this fellow, something good happened!
"While I don't know exactly where the person is, I know who locked him up..."
Lin Feng swallowed hard and spoke hurriedly. Chen Chuanwen's brow furrowed, which scared Lin Feng into quickly pointing at Seventh Uncle Lin beside him and shouting loudly:
"Seventh Uncle Lin, you were the one who locked the person up! If you have any backbone, stand out and accept your death. Don't let the rest of us take the blame for you!"
Seventh Uncle Lin, who was cowering in the crowd, was gnashing his teeth in rage. Had the Chen Family not been there, he would have beaten Lin Feng to death immediately.
But now, he had no such opportunity!
"Where is the person? Speak and live, or stay silent and die!"
Chen Changsheng stared at him, his gaze as cold as a blade. The Lin Family members also looked at Seventh Uncle Lin. He had always lectured them on having backbone; perhaps today he would refuse to speak even in death, thwarting the Chen Family's plans!
*Thump!*
Seventh Uncle Lin quickly dropped to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly as he said through tears and snot:
"Head of the Chen Family, please don't kill me! When the Cold Blade Tower came, they only brought one man, no child! I locked him in the Dungeon; I can take you there to see!"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng frowned. If Cheng An hadn't been captured, who was the man they took? For a moment, he was confused by Seventh Uncle Lin's news.
"Lead the way immediately!"
After pondering for a while without coming to a conclusion, Chen Changsheng decided to go to the Dungeon personally to check. Perhaps there would be new clues!
Seventh Uncle Lin scrambled up and trotted ahead to lead the way for Chen Changsheng, looking like a complete sycophant. Seeing this, the Lin Family members couldn't help but spit on him in their hearts. Was this the 'backbone' he always talked about!
