Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1134: Welcome (1)

This… this is…

After reading the contents of the revised Forge-the-Heart Saber Skill treatise, Lin-Jun's hands trembled. As a seasoned swordsman, he instantly realized that his clan's Forge-the-Heart Saber Skill, which had been an initial Deity Soul Skill, had now become an advanced Deity Soul Skill.

"I think it'll be useful to you and the Lin Clan members. Consider it a gift from me as a thank you for the trust you placed in me!" Zheng-Fu had expected that Lin-Jun's expression and feelings would be like that. Because everyone who received skills from him always had that attitude. He had to be very thankful for his special abilities.

"Thank… thank you very much, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu. With this new version of Forge-the-Heart Saber Skill, the Lin Clan will be able to improve a lot!" Lin-Jun felt very grateful and touched. He did not know what else to say. He even wanted to bow down and worship Zheng-Fu. Because the advanced Deity Soul Skill was very hard to find. Apart from first-tier cities and above, it was difficult for other-tier cities to have them. So, just an intermediate Deity Soul Skill could shake up many second-tier cities.

Clan Leader!!!

Many elders who were watching what happened were very curious about what was in that skill treatise. Why did their Clan Leader look so excited?

"You guys will know by yourself!" Lin-Jun did not explain. He simply handed the skill treatise in his hand to an elder behind him.

Blop!

Flap! Flap!

This… this is…

How is this possible?!

"Isn't our Forge-the-Heart Saber Skill supposed to be an initial Deity Soul Skill? And why has it become an advanced Deity Soul Skill?!"

Advanced Deity Soul Skill!!!

The words that fell out from the Grand Elder caused the other elders to become extremely excited and shocked. They wanted to take the treatise from the Grand Elder's hand to look at it with their own eyes, whether what the Grand Elder said was true.

After that, Lin-Jun let his servants prepare Zheng-Fu's new quarters. Because his current room's wall had a large hole in it. Lin-Jun gave the Fourth Elder's residence to Zheng-Fu. It had a large house, a garden, and also a martial arts training courtyard. If anyone came to ask for advice again, there would be no damage inside the house.

Once the arrangements for the residence were finished, everyone left, leaving only Zheng-Fu, Lin-Nie, and Lin-Jun in the courtyard in front of the residence that used to belong to the Fourth Elder.

"Why haven't you two gone yet? Or is there something else you want to talk to me about?" Zheng-Fu turned to ask the two people who were standing silently and acting strangely. It was as if they wanted to say something, but they did not dare to say it.

"Erm… Younger Brother Zheng-Fu, do you have a wife?" After being silent and not daring to ask for a moment, Lin-Jun tried to ask with difficulty. And he seemed very hopeful about the answer.

Hah!?

"I like women! Besides, you already have a wife and children. And I probably won't be able to respond to your feelings. Also, I think doing this will ruin your reputation!" Zheng-Fu was shocked by Lin-Jun's question. He quickly refused and felt goosebumps all over his arms.

Ah!

"It's not like that, Younger Brother! I like women too. But I'm asking because my niece doesn't have a partner yet. If Younger Brother… doesn't have anyone yet, then you and Lin-Nie should try dating each other!" Lin-Jun was startled as well. He did not expect that Zheng-Fu could think like that. So, he quickly rejected the shameful thought and explained what he really meant to Zheng-Fu.

Oh!

Zheng-Fu raised his hand to scratch his head, embarrassed that he had thought such a thing. But because Lin-Jun did not explain in detail, he did not know that, actually, Lin-Jun wanted to find a mate for his niece.

At the same time, Lin-Nie looked extremely embarrassed. She did not dare to raise her head to look at Zheng-Fu's face or make eye contact with anyone. Even though she had prepared herself and discussed that matter with Lin-Jun before.

"I must apologize. I have a wife. Therefore, I cannot have a relationship with Miss Lin-Nie. But we can be friends!" Zheng-Fu immediately refused without hesitation. For he did not come there to find a woman but to make himself stronger.

Ah!

When Lin-Nie heard that, her whole body trembled. She did not expect Zheng-Fu to refuse so quickly. And suddenly, tears began to well up in her eyes, before more and more flowed down her cheeks. And soon she turned and ran quickly out of there.

Nie-Er!

Lin-Jun was very upset when he saw Lin-Nie running away. He did not think that things would turn out like that. He hoped to help his niece create a relationship with the young man. But the result was more of hurting her feelings than helping.

"Sigh! I apologize to Younger Brother for causing trouble. I need to go talk to Lin-Nie first!" Lin-Jun let out a soft sigh before apologizing to Zheng-Fu and excusing himself to console his niece.

"It's all right. You weren't wrong. She wasn't wrong. But I can't accept this goodwill!" Zheng-Fu had encountered many situations like that before, so he did not think much of it. He knew that things would soon get better once Lin-Nie could calm her mind.

Umm!

When everyone had left, Zheng-Fu walked around the residence to inspect it. He needed to set up many tactical formations since the residence was large and had many rooms. He wanted to ensure safety in case he attempted something that required a lot of energy and it failed, so it would not affect other people.

Two hours passed…

After taking a look around the house, Zheng-Fu spent over an hour placing advanced Immortal defense tactical formation, sound protection tactical formation, detention tactical formation, and illusion tactical formation. All these tactical formations were not created separately. They were layered on top of each other in a single tactical formation.

"Today I must rest. And tomorrow I'll go hunting!"

Zheng-Fu wasted a lot of energy in creating tactical formations, so he had to recuperate his energy first. Even though he did not need a long time, he still chose to go hunting the next day. Moreover, he felt that something would happen to the Lin Clan that day. So, he wanted to stay and observe first.

Soon, nighttime arrived...

Several blocks away from the Lin Clan, in a building on the highest floor, more than ten black-robed people gathered together. They all stared at the Lin Clan location with hungry eyes as if they had seen delicious food.

"I never thought there would be such a simple job. The person is not specified. Just kill as many people as possible!"

"True! Even though Lin Clan Leader was strong, our assassination skills cannot be looked down upon. So tonight, we'll kill all the people of Lin Clan to our hearts' content!"

Hu! Hu! Hu!

"What about the other groups? When will they take action?"

"I think they're about to take action. Maybe they're waiting for us to start!"

Huh!

"I never thought that our employer would hire so many assassins. Actually, just us, Hell Night Assassins, are enough to complete this task!"

"That's right. But so be it! After all, the pay depends on the number of people we kill. Therefore, our group must kill as many as possible!"

Umm!

All right, let's get started!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Not far away from the building where the Hell Night Assassins were...

On the top floor of another four-story building, another group of black-robed people with a murderous aura also gathered.

"Chief, Hell Night Assassins have begun to move. Shall we start now?"

"Don't be in a hurry. I think the Lin Clan wouldn't be as easy to deal with as they thought. They must have defensive curtains or defensive spells placed around their clan. When the Hell Night Assassins break in, they might run into problems. So, we should wait and see for sure."

"But if there aren't any traps or tactical formations, we might be slower and at a disadvantage to them, sir!"

"Who is the chief!? You or me?"

Ah!

"You… you, sir! You're the chief!"

"Then, you do as I say!"

Yes, sir!

In addition to this group of assassins, there was another group of assassins who were not active as well. Both groups waited to see if anything would happen to the Hell Night Assassins or not. If not, they would immediately begin their mission. But if anything happened, they would quickly retreat without paying attention to anything.

At Zheng-Fu's new residence...

Hah!?

"Assassins? Umm! They're a group of assassins who are not very skilled at all."

While Zheng-Fu was cultivating energy outside the house in the front courtyard, he suddenly sensed a group of people who used camouflage skills and hid their energy, heading towards the Lin Clan. Zheng-Fu was able to sense those assassins because of the slight psychic killing they accidentally released in a short period, plus their energy level was lower than his.

From what Zheng-Fu sensed, most of those assassins were advanced Genuine Deity Stage cultivators. There were three people already at the Deity Monarch Stage. However, the strongest one was only at the second level of the Deity Monarch Stage.

"Big Brother, there seems to be a group of dirty rats wanting to enter your house. You should disable the defensive spell curtain for a moment to let them come in. When they come in, you can activate it again. And let everyone whose energy level is lower than the advanced Genuine Deity Stage hide in a safe place first!"

"What do you say? Or are they assassins!?"

As soon as Zheng-Fu contacted Lin-Jun via blood communication jade, Lin-Jun replied in shock and worry. The first image that flashed into his mind was of the assassin group that had been reported earlier. And there was a high possibility that it would be the way he thought.

"All right! I can handle this task myself. How many of them are there? I can't sense them at all!" Lin-Jun immediately replied, then asked with suspicion. He tried to use his psychic powers to expand his investigation, but he could not sense the identity of those assassins at all.

"Twelve people in total. The strongest one is at the second level of the Deity Monarch Stage. And the lowest is at the utmost of the seventh level of the Genuine Deity Stage. Aside from these twelve people, about four or five blocks away, there were another twenty people who were probably assassins as well. They just haven't made any moves yet." Zheng-Fu immediately replied as well.

"Twelve people!? And there are still more than twenty people who haven't moved!? All right! Even though there are a lot of them, their energy levels are not very high. Leave this matter to me. I won't let even one of them escape!"

When Lin-Jun heard that, a fierce and terrifying smile suddenly appeared on his face. When it came to the assassins, he looked like a tiger, ready to devour its prey with hunger. And this time, he did not think of asking Zheng-Fu for any help. Just Zheng-Fu telling him of the arrival of those assassins was enough help for him. As for the rest of the work, he and his clan members would handle it themselves.

"Then I wish you and your clan good luck!"

"Thank you very much, Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!"

Flap!

Wooooooosh!!!

"Everyone, listen to me! Right now, our clan is about to be attacked by assassins. I wish everyone..."

As soon as communication with Zheng-Fu was cut off, Lin-Jun picked up the clan's communication jade and quickly ordered everyone in the clan to prepare to deal with the incoming group of assassins.
