Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 54: When the Dust Settles
Not long after, the dust cleared, and everyone clearly saw the current situation of the two people. Chu Linfeng held a long sword and half-kneeled on the ground, blood continuously flowing from his mouth, with no trace of blood color on his face, clearly suffering from serious internal injuries.
As for the old man from the City Lord’s Mansion, his situation was even more shocking. Although he was standing there, one arm was missing, and blood was continuously gushing from his shoulder.
His clothes were already stained red, and blood was also dripping from his mouth, his injuries even more severe than Chu Linfeng, on the verge of collapse.
Chu Linfeng slowly stood up at this moment, a victorious smile on his pale face. He knew that there was no way to kill the opponent today since he had no strength left in his body.
Standing up was entirely due to his indomitable will, but he had to pretend not to be seriously injured.
"Old man, you’re truly despicable! You said three moves, yet you went back on your word. Do you have any sense of shame?" Chu Linfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said angrily.
The old man spat another mouthful of blood after hearing Chu Linfeng’s words, unsure of how to respond.
At this time, Lin Ruoxi and Sima Jingyi ran to Chu Linfeng and the old man’s sides.
"Lin Feng, are you alright? I didn’t expect you to be so amazing! I’m a bit unbelievable!" Lin Ruoxi said with eyes full of admiration.
"Look at who your man is; dealing with him is just a piece of cake!" Chu Linfeng said, spitting blood as he spoke.
At this moment, he clearly felt that the hand he punched with was still numb, most likely crippled.
"Piece of cake? You’re still spitting blood." Lin Ruoxi said worriedly, her face full of concern.
"It’s nothing; that old man’s situation is worse than mine. Isn’t your man incredible, defeating a master of the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm."
Hearing "your man, your man," Lin Ruoxi blushed and nodded involuntarily, "Very amazing; if he’s not amazing, how could he be my man." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
"You..." Chu Linfeng didn’t expect Lin Ruoxi to have such a side, truly influenced by proximity.
Sima Jingyi then came to the old man’s side, seeing his current state, furrowed her brow slightly. For Chu Linfeng to be able to wound him like this, what kind of strength is that?
Although shocked in her heart, she did not show it, "Elder Wu, your injury?"
The old man, looking very pale, weakly said, "Miss, I overestimated myself. I didn’t expect this kid to have such strength. I dare to assert that he definitely hasn’t broken through to the Earth Martial Realm.
The aura he displayed when using that technique was terrifying; I dare to assert it wasn’t Star Power but a power stronger than Star Power.
This kid is full of secrets; I underestimated him, resulting in this outcome."
Sima Jingyi was pondering in her mind what kind of power could be stronger than Star Power but came up with no clues.
Seeing the missing part of his arm, Sima Jingyi gained a new understanding of Chu Linfeng; she must find a way to understand it.
Sima Jingyi took out a red elixir and said, "Take this elixir; it can alleviate your current injury. Let’s end today’s matter here!"
The old man took the elixir, swallowed it in one gulp, then said, "Thank you, Miss. My internal organs are severely damaged; I must heal quickly, or my life is at risk!"
Chu Yuanba and Chu Yuanming, among others, also came to Chu Linfeng’s side, all concerned about his current injury. The emergence of such a master in the Chu Family holds significant importance for them.
Sima Jingyi glanced at Chu Linfeng and said to the crowd, "The matter between the Liu Family and the Chu Family ends here. If anyone continues to cause trouble, the City Lord’s Mansion won’t hesitate to extinguish their entire family."
Sima Jingyi directly used the City Lord’s Mansion to pressure everyone; no one dared rebut. The City Lord’s Mansion could easily wipe out a family, with strong figures like the old man there, and the mysterious City Lord even more terrifying.
Sima Jingyi’s words sounded like heavenly music to the members of the Liu Family and Gongsun Family, and they quickly left as if they had lost their fathers.
Chu Linfeng knew that Sima Jingyi was under significant pressure to make such a decision, as the City Lord’s Mansion typically would not interfere in family disputes; she did this for him.
"Chu Linfeng, Lin Ruoxi, listen carefully: you must arrive at the Celestial Dragon Academy within a month, or face the consequences." Sima Jingyi finished speaking and left the crowd directly, with the old man limping behind her.
Chu Linfeng looked blankly at Sima Jingyi and the old man’s departure, pondering her words and the burden on his shoulders, his mood suddenly restless.
"Lin Feng, are you alright? You look like a beggar, what are you thinking? You should hurry back for healing." Lin Ruoxi said concernedly at this time.
Chu Linfeng slowly gathered his thoughts, looked at Lin Ruoxi, and forced a slight smile:
"Ruoxi, I’m fine. Today made me realize how laughable I was before; Sima Jingyi’s one sentence can settle this matter because of her powerful strength.
The City Lord’s Mansion has powerful Martial Artists which gives her the capital to speak like this, and we are not even ants in the face of absolute strength."
"Lin Feng, don’t be discouraged; think about it, you went from being recognized as a waste to an awesome genius in such a short time. As long as you work hard, I believe you can become a true master!"
"Thank you, Ruoxi! Let’s go inside, I have a lot to tell you!"
At this time, in a distant corner, a pair of hate-filled eyes were watching Chu Linfeng and Lin Ruoxi.
"Chu Linfeng, don’t get too smug too soon. I, Liu Mang, will make you suffer, and Lin Family, you just wait. One day I will uproot you, leaving no chickens or dogs alive!"
"Feng’er, hold on!" Chu Yuanba called out.
"What’s the matter, Dad?"
"How is your injury? I’ll have Yanran send you medicine later!"
"It’s nothing serious, thanks for worrying, Dad!"
"This time, both the Chu and Lin Families suffered significant losses; we’ll discuss this in the conference hall later! Feng’er, since you’re injured, don’t bother attending!" Chu Yuanba said.
"It’s alright; I’ll go and heal after the discussion."
According to tradition, only family elders and Honored Guest Elders enter the conference hall, but allowing Chu Linfeng to join clearly indicates Chu Yuanba wants to elevate Chu Linfeng’s status in the family.
Even if Chu Yuanba didn’t do this, given Chu Linfeng’s current strength, no one in the family would dare say anything.
Then, the group entered the Chu Family conference hall, consisting of more than ten people, including Chu Yuanba, Chu Yuanming, Lin Quan, Lin Dong, and the invited Lu Brothers.
Chu Yuanba enlisted the Lu Brothers as Honored Guest Elders for the Zhao Family, which they agreed to, along with several other Honored Guest Elders.
"This major family upheaval has caused everyone to suffer, and Yuanba apologizes deeply for it, especially thanking the Lu Brothers for their strong support.
Of course, thanks also to our in-laws for their full backing; I won’t say anything superfluous, moving on to business!" Chu Yuanba said directly and straightforwardly.
"Firstly, many family members were injured or killed this time, those deceased will be interred into the Chu Family shrine, and the injured will receive the best healing medicine, along with two months of salary supplement. This matter will be handled by the Lu Brothers!"
"Yes, Patriarch!" The two responded in unison.
"Additionally, what do you plan to do with Chu Yuanqing’s loyal followers?" Chu Yuanba continued to ask.
