Chapter 1503 - 1502: Cheng Family's Retaliation

Cheng Family!

The atmosphere is incredibly oppressive!

Cheng Batian returned home injured, shocking the entire Cheng Family!

Cheng Batian is ranked third among the young generation's experts on Demon Island, yet now he has been severely injured. This news spread across Demon Island like wildfire!

Of course, there are rumors that this incident is related to Lin Bai!

"Did you hear? Mr. Cheng got beaten up?"

"That's no longer hot news; the biggest news is that I heard this incident is related to someone with the surname Lin!"

"Which Lin are you talking about?"

"How many famous people with the surname Lin are there on Demon Island? It's naturally the one whom Fang family's young lady is pursuing, Lin Bai!"

"I didn't expect it to be him. Is he a Qi Cultivation Master?"

"No matter the reasons, the news has reached the Patriarch, and now he's in the study with Mr. Cheng. Given the Cheng Family's habit of avenging wrongs, that kid surnamed Lin is in trouble!"

The Cheng Family servants gathered together, discussing Cheng Batian being beaten!

At this moment, in the Cheng Family study!

Sitting behind the desk is a man with black and white hair, dressed in plain clothes. His body seems slim, but his exposed arms and hands have bulging veins like snakes coiling, full of power!

This person is the Patriarch of the Cheng Family, Cheng Qingshan!

Opposite Cheng Qingshan, undoubtedly, is Cheng Batian!

Cheng Qingshan looked at the still swollen bruises on Cheng Batian's face with a long sigh in his heart and said, "Is it worth making such a fuss over a woman?"

"Father! Fang Rongrong has agreed to marry me!" Cheng Batian said!

"But that's only because she's afraid you'll harm that boy surnamed Lin!" Cheng Qingshan replied!

Cheng Batian lowered his head in silence!

Cheng Qingshan took a sip of tea and asked, "What is this person's strength like?"

"Very strong! On par with me, but if it comes to a life-and-death battle, I'm confident I can defeat him!" Cheng Batian clenched his fist, his eyes shimmering with flames of anger!

The incident where he got beaten has long spread across Demon Island. Cheng Batian's vicious heart cannot let it go without vengeance; otherwise, how can he stand on Demon Island in the future!

"This grudge must be avenged; if not, that's not the style of the Cheng Family, or everyone will think we're soft targets!"

Cheng Qingshan snorted coldly, a ruthless intent flashing quickly in his eyes!

"But Lin Bai has already fled, and I don't know where he's gone for now." Cheng Batian said!

"I've already sent someone out to investigate this!" Cheng Qingshan said!

Cheng Batian was surprised upon hearing this, not expecting Cheng Qingshan to intervene in this matter!

A hint of excitement appeared on Cheng Batian's face, as Cheng Qingshan's involvement meant he would assist!

With Cheng Qingshan's strength, Lin Bai has no chance of survival!

"Bang Bang Bang~"

Suddenly, a knock on the door came!

Cheng Qingshan raised his eyebrows and immediately said, "Come in!"

With a "clack," the door opened, and a young man in plain clothes hurried into the study!

"Patriarch! Mr. Cheng!"

The young man in plain clothes greeted them respectfully upon seeing the two!

Cheng Qingshan nodded and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"Reporting to the Patriarch, it's clear now; that kid named Lin Bai escaped to the Hall of Loyalty and Justice!" the young man said!

"The Hall of Loyalty and Justice? They reportedly recently destroyed the Sword Sect, which as far as I know, is stronger than the Hall of Loyalty and Justice!" Cheng Qingshan said with a cold laugh!

"It's said that the Hall of Loyalty and Justice lured the Sword Sect's Gang Leader and four Guardians to Chunhua Courtyard for assassination, allowing them to capture the Sword Sect in one swoop!" the young man reported!

"I reckon it's not that simple!"

Cheng Qingshan sneered, his eyes rotating continuously with the cunning look of an old fox!

Then Cheng Qingshan asked, "What is this Lin Bai's background?"

"Reportedly from Huaxia!" the young man replied!

"To match Batian's strength and originate from Huaxia, he must be someone from the Huaxia Martial Arts, and within Huaxia Martial Arts, only one sect has the surname Lin, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect!" Cheng Qingshan said!

"The Sun and Moon Divine Sect? The sect of the previous Martial Arts Alliance Leader?" Cheng Batian said surprised!

Not long ago, Lin Kongxian descended on Demon Island and was ambushed by Patriarch Li. Lin Kongxian alone faced Patriarch Li and several elders from the Li Family; that battle shocked all of Demon Island!

Cheng Batian had watched the entire showdown!

Lin Kongxian's terrifying strength still leaves an indelible mark on Cheng Batian's heart!

"If so, I wonder why the Sun and Moon Divine Sect sent a disciple to Demon Island!" Cheng Qingshan mused!

"Father, you mean..."

"No matter what, your injuries cannot go unavenged, so we can use the excuse of your beating to attack the Hall of Loyalty and Justice, masking everyone's attention and capturing that boy surnamed Lin to find out the whereabouts of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Token!" Cheng Qingshan said with a sinister smile!

"Great plan! I'll immediately mobilize the subordinates!" Cheng Batian's face showed excitement!

"Remember, mobilize everyone. I suspect the Hall of Loyalty and Justice has prepared too!" Cheng Qingshan instructed!

"Understood!"

Cheng Batian nodded and hurriedly left the study!

...

Meanwhile, within the Hall of Loyalty and Justice!

Lin Fan is unaware of Cheng Qingshan's plan, but he suspects that the Cheng Family will definitely make a move tonight!

In the dining room, Lin Fan, Lin Bai, Lin Ya, along with the Ma Hongyi brothers, are gathered to celebrate Lin Bai's return!

This time, Lin Bai also broke the rules and had a drink!

As the saying goes, men's feelings are strengthened through drinking, and with this meal, Lin Bai quickly fostered camaraderie with the Ma Hongyi brothers!

Ma Hongfei, a very straightforward person, picked up a large bowl full of wine and laughed to Lin Bai, "Lin, to celebrate your return to glory, brothers toast to you!"

"Much appreciated!"

Lin Bai humbly nodded!

"Clang~"

The two clinked their bowls and, with a tilt of their heads, downed the white liquor!

Ma Hongyi also toasted Lin Fan with a bowl of wine, then said, "Mr. Lin, it's almost dark; today is the third day we must endure!"

Lin Fan gazed out the window, lit a cigarette, took several deep drags, and pulled his brows together with grave concern!

"It's not daylight yet, meaning today hasn't passed!" Lin Fan suddenly said!

"Mr. Lin means... the Cheng Family is highly likely to act against us tonight?" Ma Hongyi's face tightened with surprise!
