159: Lin Mu's Choice

Even though Lin Mu held back in his attack, Zhang Daoling was still severely injured.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

Jun Wuyou, who was about to seize the opportunity to leave, was even more shocked.

The masked man who had easily pushed him to the brink of despair was so vulnerable before the Old Ancestor of the Zhang Family.

His gaze became cautious.

Just then, Lin Mu's gaze also fell upon him.

Seeing Lin Mu's cold eyes, Jun Wuyou couldn't help but shiver.

He feigned composure and said, "Zhang Daoling, I advise you to think carefully. If you dare to touch me today, you will face the wrath of the Jun Family."

Immediately, he looked at the Zhang Family members at the entrance with ill intent.

Then he added, "I admit your abilities are indeed extraordinary, but it's hard to say the same for them."

As soon as Jun Wuyou spoke, the faces of the Zhang Family members all changed drastically.

The Jun Family's status was second to none in the entire God Realm.

Let alone their small Zhang Family.

Even the families where God Emperors resided had to be wary of the Jun Family.

They were the most ancient family in the God Realm.

If they truly made an enemy of the Jun Family today, their Zhang Family would surely be annihilated.

The Head of the Zhang Family's brows were furrowed with visible worry.

But with a precedent, that God Monarch Realm Expert masked man was still lying in the deep pit.

He didn't dare to provoke trouble at this moment either.

He could only pray in his heart that Lin Mu would consider the bigger picture and let Jun Wuyou leave.

It seemed his prayer actually had an effect.

Lin Mu looked at Jun Wuyou and suddenly smiled, saying.

"Young Master Jun, I have received your message, and I also have something to convey to your Jun Family."

Jun Wuyou was secretly delighted, thinking this meant he was being allowed to leave.

Although he wanted to leave immediately.

He still asked, "What is it?"

Lin Mu instantly teleported in front of Jun Wuyou.

He said calmly, "Tell your Jun Family that I will personally visit in a few days."

Lin Mu's tone was too calm.

Jun Wuyou couldn't discern his true meaning from Lin Mu's words.

However, he didn't bother to ask further.

He thought to himself, as long as Lin Mu dared to go to the Jun Family, he would surely get revenge for today's humiliation.

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and perfunctorily said, "Alright, I will definitely convey this message to my Old Ancestor."

"The Jun Family awaits you at any time. Farewell."

With that, Jun Wuyou vanished in a flash.

The onlookers, who thought the main event was over and they could leave.

To their surprise, Lin Mu suddenly spoke.

"Since you all love watching the excitement so much, then stay here and watch while kneeling."

"The restriction will automatically lift after one day."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he disregarded the wails of the crowd.

He entered the Zhang Family on his own.

Lin Mu's action was merely a warning to these people.

If next time, they dared to come and mock the Zhang Family.

Lin Mu wouldn't mind keeping them all.

Xiao Hong, seeing Lin Mu leave, also quickly followed in his footsteps.

As she passed by Zhang Daoling, she glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Then she let out a soft laugh and also entered the Zhang Family courtyard.

Although Zhang Daoling had suffered some injuries.

It wasn't to the point where he couldn't move.

The reason he didn't stand up earlier.

Firstly, it was for Lin Mu's prestige.

Secondly, it was to avoid excessive contact with the Zhang Family members.

However, the more he feared something, the more it happened.

The Head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Boyue, suddenly walked up to Zhang Daoling.

He extended his hands and respectfully helped Zhang Daoling up.

A professional smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you, Senior, for your righteous intervention just now."

Zhang Boyue said with a face full of gratitude.

Zhang Daoling looked at the current Head of the Zhang Family.

A hint of bitterness welled up in his heart.

Although he was exceptionally talented and could now be considered a prominent figure in the God Realm.

He couldn't even tell his true identity to his own descendants.

He lowered his voice and said, "No need to be polite."

He knew that Zhang Boyue had strong observational skills.

Saying too much would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, after a brief polite exchange, he followed Lin Mu into the Zhang Family.

Zhang Boyue looked at Zhang Daoling's retreating figure, suspiciously for a long time.

Then he shook his head and quickly followed.

As soon as Zhang Boyue entered the Zhang Family courtyard.

A servant hurriedly ran over.

Zhang Boyue didn't mind the servant's rudeness.

He asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing, all flustered?"

The servant saw Zhang Boyue was a bit displeased and said cautiously and nervously.

"Reporting to Head of the Family, Old Ancestor sent word that he wants you to bring Young Master to the backyard to see him."

In the Zhang Family's backyard.

Lin Mu was still sitting in the previous garden.

Xiao Hong and Zhang Daoling stood one on each side behind him.

Xiao Hong seemed uninterested in the surrounding environment.

While Zhang Daoling, on the other hand, looked around with great interest.

Having not returned for over a thousand years, the Zhang Family mansion had been renovated many times.

Some of the surroundings, Zhang Daoling also found unfamiliar.

Just as he was lamenting.

Zhang Boyue had already arrived with his son, Zhang Cheng.

As soon as Zhang Boyue entered the garden, he bowed deeply.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor."

Zhang Cheng also quickly knelt down.

He said with a nervous expression, "Cheng'er greets Old Ancestor."

Although Zhang Daoling had never met Zhang Cheng, he knew this was a direct descendant of his Zhang Family.

He couldn't help but take a closer look.

This look actually surprised him quite a bit.

This Zhang Cheng was actually a rare Dragon-Phoenix Physique.

He contained both Yin and Yang physiques within his body.

Although his current strength was ordinary, if he cultivated with an Ultimate Yin Physique.

His cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, and his future achievements would be immeasurable.

It wasn't impossible for him to reach his current realm.

Seeing such a promising talent emerge from the Zhang Family.

Zhang Daoling couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.

However, he quickly concealed it again.

Zhang Cheng, who was kneeling on the ground, was already a bit nervous.

Upon noticing that the senior standing behind the Old Ancestor had been staring at him.

His heart became even more anxious.

However, just then, Lin Mu spoke.

"Zhang Cheng, do you still want to marry Miss Ning?"

Zhang Cheng originally thought the Old Ancestor was just saying it casually.

He didn't expect the Old Ancestor to still remember this matter.

He didn't even bother to look at Zhang Boyue's expression.

He replied with a joyful face, "Reporting to Old Ancestor, of course, this junior does."

However, the joy on his face immediately dimmed a bit.

He said with some worry, "However, Miss Ning doesn't think highly of me."

Lin Mu chuckled and said, "It's alright, you just need to want to marry her."

"The Old Ancestor will decide the rest for you."

"Ten days later, when I, the Old Ancestor, return from the God Emperor Palace, I will take you to the Northern Region."

"You should make preparations early."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng's smile could no longer be contained.

He kowtowed several times to Lin Mu, making loud thuds.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for making this possible."

Lin Mu hummed lightly, then said, "You may withdraw first."

Zhang Cheng hastily agreed and scurried away.

Zhang Daoling watched the departing Zhang Cheng, then glanced at Lin Mu.

His face was full of confusion.

He didn't understand what deep meaning Lin Mu's action held.

"Could it be that he also saw Zhang Cheng's physique?"

Zhang Daoling couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

Thinking of this, Zhang Daoling began to ponder Lin Mu's intentions in his mind.

Lin Mu apparently didn't know Zhang Daoling's thoughts.

He looked at Zhang Boyue and then asked, "Do you know why the God Emperor is holding a banquet?"
