Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 420: Chapter 421 Leaving Spiritual Spring

At this moment, outside the Spiritual Spring, there was a great uproar.

How could this be possible? Miao Shan was dead, Wu Yong was dead, and so was Zhao Qian, not to mention the earlier death of Xu Rong—four direct descendants from the families had perished within the Spiritual Spring.

In the history of the Battles of the Spiritual Spring, although people had died, they were always the insignificant, not direct descendants from major families. Yet, this time, four had died all at once.

Following the deaths of these four, Lin Chen’s points soared rapidly.

It was this guy, this guy actually killed four descendants of major families in a row. Had he gone mad?

At this time, in the VIP room outside the Spiritual Spring where the live scores were being watched, four individuals looked particularly grim.

These four were the elders of the Miao, Zhao, Xu, and Wu families. They were ordered to accompany their juniors to participate in the Battle of the Spiritual Spring, but now the individuals they brought had been killed.

”That bastard, how dare he lay a hand on our Xu Family? He’s asking for death.”

”Right, we absolutely can’t let this bastard off.”

”We must kill him to avenge the children.”

”This Lin Chen is too arrogant. We must not let him get away with this.”

The elders of the four major families were filled with righteous indignation, yet each of them had their own schemes.

It was common knowledge that Lin Chen possessed Tianyan, but as elders, they could not act against Lin Chen.

But now things were different, Lin Chen had killed offspring from the four major families, providing them with a perfect excuse.

After a week, the Battle of the Spiritual Spring finally ended. As the juniors emerged, they nearly unanimously told their elders the story of how Lin Chen had slain three great warriors of the Innate Realm.

”Look, Lin Chen is coming out.” In a flash of light, Lin Chen and Zhao Xiaohua, among others, walked out from the teleportation formation.

”This guy is so strong, he actually killed three late-stage Innate Realm warriors in a row with one move each.”

”Remember, you must not provoke this Lin Chen. He’s too strong. If you provoke him, you’ll either die or be skinned alive.”

Almost everyone looking at Lin Chen had a hint of fear.

Just as Lin Chen had stepped out, suddenly four elders blocked his way.

”Kid, stop right there, are you the one who killed our direct descendants?” Xu Kun, the elder from the Xu Family, asked with a cold voice.

Lin Chen paused, glancing at Xu Kun, ”Yes, what about it?”

”What about it? You actually dared to touch them from our Xu Family; you’re completely courting death.”

”You dared to kill our Miao Family’s descendant; you’re really bold.”

”Wu Yong from our Wu Family also died by your hand. We demand blood for blood.”

”This guy is simply bloodthirsty by nature. Our Xu Family’s Xu Rong was also killed by him. Killing so many in one stroke, we can’t let him off.”

The four elders blocked the way, looking as though they were seeking justice from Lin Chen.

Hearing their words, Lin Chen’s face revealed a cold smile, ”The rule of the Spiritual Spring is that once one enters, life and death are inconsequential. Why is it that only ordinary Martial Artists can die, but your major families’ offspring cannot?”

”Moreover, not one of them was someone I provoked actively. Should I have presented my neck for them to kill just because they wanted to kill me? If you want to kill someone, you should be prepared to be killed in return,” Lin Chen said coldly.

Xu Kun snorted coldly, ”Humph, spare me your excuses. Since you have killed our people, you must pay the price. I will capture you and take you back to the Xu Family for the Family Head to deal with.”

Hearing Xu Kun’s words, many called him an old fox.

What Xu Kun said sounded righteous, claiming it was for avenging Xu Rong, but anyone with clear eyes could see their real target was the Tianyan Lin Chen possessed.

Lin Chen, upon hearing Xu Kun’s words, suddenly laughed, ”So you mean you’re planning to bully someone younger with your greater strength.”

”Hmph, I will take you to the Xu family’s Family Head, and as for your fate, that shall be decided by the Family Head himself,” Xu Kun said with a cold laugh.

”Hahahaha!” Lin Chen suddenly burst into laughter.

”You speak as if you’re all high and mighty, but if you want to catch me, you’ll have to see if you’ve got the skills,” Lin Chen said with a sneer.

”Boy, you’re courting death.” Xu Kun’s gaze sharpened as he prepared to make a move.

”Stop!” Accompanied by an aged voice, an old man dressed in Taoist robes walked over.

”Xu Kun, this is our Taoist sacred land, not your Xu family’s place. Mind your own status,” Xu Kongzi said in an icy tone.

Seeing the person who walked in, Xu Kun’s face changed and he didn’t dare to act recklessly anymore.

”Elder Xu Kongzi, this brat actually killed the direct descendants of several major forces, he’s bloodthirsty by nature; such a person cannot be left alive,” Xu Kun pointed at Lin Chen and said.

Xu Kongzi snorted coldly, ”How many people has your Xu family killed in the Spiritual Spring? The very nature of the Spiritual Spring is to disregard life and death. This matter ends here. If I hear anyone seeking revenge on Lin Chen over the Spiritual Spring issue, they will be making an enemy of me, Xu Kongzi.”

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing Xu Kongzi’s words: ”Xu Kongzi’s words were very clear, Lin Chen is under my protection, anyone who touches him is disrespecting me.”

Who is Xu Kongzi? The Sect Leader of Kunlun, a towering figure in the world of martial arts, not even the Xu family’s Family Head would dare to provoke him lightly, who would dare to disrespect him?

Hearing Xu Kongzi’s words, the elders from the four great families all looked ashen-faced.

At this moment, Xu Kongzi came over to Lin Chen: ”Lin Chen, I didn’t expect you to actually achieve first place in the battle for the Spiritual Spring. Come with me, I will take you into the Tower of Prophecy.”

Saying so, Xu Kongzi turned and started to walk outside.

Lin Chen followed behind Xu Kongzi, walking towards the outside.

”Elder Xu Kongzi, isn’t the Tower of Prophecy in Kunlun?” Lin Chen asked curiously.

Xu Kongzi gave a faint smile, ”Correct, it is in Kunlun, but also not in Kunlun.”

After hearing Xu Kongzi’s words, Lin Chen was confused.

”You will understand in a moment,” Xu Kongzi said, and continued to walk forward without explaining further to Lin Chen.

The two passed through the great hall and arrived at the back mountain.

As soon as they got to the mountain’s pass, Lin Chen surprisingly saw an old fisherman wearing a conical hat by the lakeside.

The old man appeared very ordinary, and although there was no aura of a martial artist about him, he emanated a sense that made one’s heart tremble.

Looking at the old man, even Xu Kongzi showed respect and walked a few steps to the elder: ”Elder Kong Ling, this is the first-placed champion of this Spiritual Spring battle. I wish to take him into the Tower of Prophecy.”

Lin Chen greeted the old man with a fist and palm salute, ”Junior Lin Chen pays respects to Elder Kong Ling.”

The elder looked up, his turbid old eyes sizing up Lin Chen: ”Not bad, not bad, indeed the youth is to be feared. At such a young age, you’ve already reached the Tianyan Realm. Since you’ve obtained the qualification, go on in... go ahead.”

As his voice fell, the elder continued to focus on his fishing, unconcerned with the two any longer.

Xu Kongzi led Lin Chen along the mountain path, and finally, after climbing to the summit, they arrived at a cliff.

With no path in sight, just as Lin Chen began to feel puzzled, Xu Kongzi smiled faintly, ”The Tower of Prophecy is just ahead. I’ll send you on your way.”

As he finished speaking, Xu Kongzi flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind came blowing, sending Lin Chen plummeting into the mountain ravine.

Lin Chen felt the ground disappear beneath his feet, and his body suddenly began to fall towards the depths of the ravine.
