Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 278 Rescue
Zhou Lin shouted, signaling his men to activate the small sword given by Lin Chen.

But there was no movement from behind.

Zhou Lin turned around abruptly and looked in disbelief at his confidant who had followed him for many years.

"I'm sorry, Patriarch. Our family's military strength is too weak. The strongest guest elder is only a Soul Sage. I still have to think about my descendants, so I'm sorry." The confidant said guiltily.

After saying that, he flew directly to Huang Kai's side and handed over the small sword that Lin Chen had given to Zhou Mingxing with both hands.

"Patriarch Huang, this was given to Zhou Lin by a Titled Douluo. This small sword, when activated by soul power, can unleash the attack of that Titled Douluo."

Huang Kai took the small sword, played with it in his hand, and praised, "Well done."

"Patriarch Huang, you are too kind. Just don't forget your promise to me."

Huang Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, after we destroy the Zhou family, I'll give you a piece of meat."

Seeing his confidant betraying him, Zhou Lin felt extremely disappointed.

He knew that he and the Zhou family might not be able to escape this disaster.

It just makes your own children suffer.

“Clan leader, you should just hand over all the resources of the Zhou family. This way you can survive. With the guest official of your Zhou family who is at the Soul Saint level, it is impossible for you to organize the three major families.” The confidant who betrayed Zhou Lin advised.

Winning the battle without bloodshed is undoubtedly the best outcome.

Just when Zhou Lin was about to perish together with his enemy, a soft female voice was heard.

"Who said that the Zhou family only has one Soul Saint?"

The next moment, Zhang Lexuan and Lin Chen appeared in the Zhou family's yard and stood in front of Zhou Lin.

Zhang Lexuan released her soul ring, and the terrifying aura suffocated the invaders from the three major families.

Looking at the woman with nine flashing soul rings in front of them, the patriarchs of the three families were filled with fear.

"Confer a Title Douluo?" Brother Wu said with horror on his face.

Lin Chen's mind moved, and the small sword in Huang Kai's hand flew towards Zhang Lexuan without any control.

Huang Kai quickly reached out to take it, but the small sword suddenly burst out with a sharp sword energy, injuring Huang Kai.

Zhang Lexuan understood, stretched out her hand, grasped the flying sword, and said calmly: "Yes. This sword is mine. I will protect the Zhou family today."

Lin Chen did not release his spirit ring, but turned around to help Zhou Lin up.

The main reason is that his spirit ring is too shocking, so it is better not to show it as much as possible.

"Thank you."

"It's okay. I'm Mingxing's classmate. His family is in trouble, so I naturally can't just sit there and do nothing." Lin Chen explained.

From the very beginning, they revealed that they were Zhou Mingxing's classmates, which could also help Zhou Lin reduce his vigilance towards them.

"Senior, you are not from the Zhou family, right? Why do you want to protect such a small Zhou family? If you leave today, if you have any mission in the future, just tell us. As long as you don't interfere in this matter anymore, we will give you other generous gifts!" Huang Kai said.

"There is no reason. It's just because I don't like you. So I will protect the Zhou family."

"I don't want to cause any killing, so I'll give you a chance. Get out within ten breaths!" Zhang Lexuan said domineeringly.

Even if the people on the other side were unwilling, they could only leave in anger. Even if they had so many Soul Saints, or even a few Soul Douluo masters, they could not defeat the Titled Douluo in front of them, not to mention that two of the soul rings displayed by Zhang Lexuan were 100,000-year soul rings.

You know, among so many of them, they can't even get together a hundred thousand year spirit ring, but the Titled Douluo in front of them actually has two. I guess his strength is far beyond that of an ordinary Titled Douluo.

We were all smart people, and no one wanted to lose their lives, so we left in a hurry.

Lin Chen said to Zhou Lin: "Patriarch Zhou, I promised Mingxing that I would keep your family safe, so I can't break my promise."

"Thank you very much, my friend, and this lady."

At this time, Zhang Lexuan had already put away her soul ring and walked towards the two of them.

Hearing Zhou Lin say this, Zhang Lexuan smiled and said, "It's okay, I just saw injustice. Here, this is yours."

After saying that, Zhang Lexuan threw the small sword to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen took the small sword and handed it to Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone go down and clean up here. My two distinguished guests, please follow me."

The latter sentence was obviously directed at Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan.

Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan nodded and followed.

Although the young man did not reveal his identity, he must be no ordinary person to be able to travel with a Titled Douluo, so Zhou Lin would not neglect him.

To be able to develop the Zhou family to this point, his vision is extremely sharp.

It has to be said that the Zhou family is indeed arrogant. Lin Chen and Zhang Lexuan did not use their soul power and followed Zhou Lin around before they arrived at the Zhou family's reception area.

The two servants brought tea to the three people and then left.

"Thank you two masters for your help this time. We, the Zhou family, will always remember this kindness. If you need any help in the future, I, Zhou, will be happy to help." Zhou Lin picked up the teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Chen smiled and took out the things Zhou Mingxing had given him from his arms.

Zhou Lin recognized them, but was still a little surprised. He asked uncertainly, "What are these?"

"These were given to me by the star, and he helped me a lot!"

Zhou Lin was also a little angry when he saw the familiar cards in front of him. He said angrily, "Why did this little bastard only give me so little? Did I just throw all the money I gave him away?!"

Lin Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this. This is just a few? Is this still too little? The value of these things added together is probably higher than the value created by a small town in a year, right?
But Lin Chen still said on the surface: "Haha, Uncle Zhou, the stars have given me enough, and I haven't spent much of these things so far!"

Zhou Lin stood up quickly and said, "Little friend Lin, my rebellious son is not sensible and not generous enough. So, I will give you some more as a reward."

Seeing this, Lin Chen also hurriedly stood up to stop him, "Uncle Zhou, I can't use up all these in my lifetime, so there's no need to give me more. Besides, I'm not here to ask for your reward this time."

Zhou Lin sat down only after hearing Lin Chen's words.

"Uncle Zhou, I wonder if there is any auction in Tiandou City recently? Are there soul bones being auctioned there?" Lin Chen stated the purpose of his visit.

Zhou Lin thought about it, nodded, and said, "Recently, there was indeed an auction held by the nobles in Tiandou City, but it is said that the auction price is extremely low. The main purpose is to recruit strong people from all sides to join the Tianhun Empire to fight against the Sun and Moon Empire together."

Hearing this, Lin Chen frowned.

He didn't want to get involved in the empire's war, otherwise he would have gone directly to find Princess Vina when he came to Tiandou City this time.
