Douluo: Steadily Becoming Stronger in Shrek

Chapter 53 Lurking
Hearing him say this, Qian Renxue understood that Lin Chen had already come up with his own solution.

It is obviously not possible to force their way in head-on, after all, there are the laws of the empire. If Wang Lei invokes the laws of the empire and invites the strong men of the Tianhun Empire, it will be difficult to deal with the situation.

The only plan now is to launch a night attack and massacre the entire Wang family as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen waited quietly for the night to fall.

The sun sets and night falls as expected. At this time, in the palace,
"Today marks the twelfth year that my Wang family has stood firm in the Tianwang City despite all odds. In the future, we will also stand firm in the Tianhun Empire and be passed down through the ages!"

"Cheers to the Wang family! Cheers to the future!" Wang Lei raised his glass and said loudly, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Cheers to the Wang family and to the future!" all the elders shouted in unison.

"Come on, keep playing the music and keep dancing!" Wang Lei continued. Immediately, several dancers came forward and performed a dance.

This gathering is an internal family gathering of the Wang family, which is held every year. The purpose of holding it is to seek future development and to send each disciple to some large sects and major forces to establish cooperative relationships and gain their support.

The same was true for the Lin family back then. Lin Chen still vaguely remembered that every night when the banquet came, the elders would give him a lot of things. Some were gold soul coins, and some were some supplements that could improve physical fitness. However, Lin Chen at that time just thought they were delicious.

In the front yard of the palace, several servants were patrolling.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of a servant. Before the servant who was on patrol could react, he found that he could not make any sound.

"Who, who is there?" A Soul Master asked after hearing a slight movement. But what he heard was only very slight. If it wasn't for a spiritual soul master, others would not be able to detect it.

"Captain, there is no one here." Lin Chen quickly changed his clothes and lowered his voice, imitating the voice of the servant before.

The captain ignored him and waved his hand, signaling to continue patrolling.

Lin Chen then continued to pretend to patrol, imitating the way the servants patrolled.

'Am I hallucinating? ' the captain thought to himself, but he didn't take it too seriously.

"He is actually a spiritual soul master." Through the exploration of his spiritual power, Lin Chen discovered that the captain was actually a spiritual soul master. No wonder he was so alert just now.

"Alas, it's a pity that I ended up in the Wang family's dog cage and became a lackey of the Wang family." Lin Chen sighed silently in his heart, looking at the captain as if he was looking at a dead person.

When passing by the captain again, Lin Chen deliberately ran to him, took out a bag of gold soul coins, and whispered: "Captain, this is the protection fee I collected today." His tone was full of flattery.

After a few days of observation, Lin Chen found that the servant he had just killed would go to some prosperous shops every day to collect protection fees, and then hand over a small portion to the captain of the patrol team. This would greatly increase his chances of promotion.

The money earned by setting up a stall in that kind of location is calculated in gold soul coins, so the servant naturally collected a lot of gold soul coins, and only gave a small part to the captain.

Lin Chen had seen everything he did in the past few days. Now, Lin Chen was imitating him and stuffed a bag of gold soul coins into the captain's pocket.

Holding the bag and weighing it, the captain showed a satisfied look on his face and laughed, "Just wait for your business, it won't be long before it's done."

"Thank you for your kind words, Captain." Lin Chen continued to flatter.

The captain said no more and waved his hand, signaling Lin Chen to continue patrolling.

Midnight soon arrived, and when the soul guide bell rang, the next group of people to take over had already arrived.

Lin Chen and his team also finished their shift smoothly and returned to their rooms to rest. At this time, there was still singing and dancing in the hall.
"Master, according to Xiaolei's request, I found a person who meets the requirements in a poor market a few days ago. It's a little girl. I have brought her back and she is currently imprisoned in the dungeon."

"Well, you go down first." Wang Lei nodded with satisfaction and said.

On the other side, Lin Chen left the entire patrol team alone, using the excuse of going to a brothel to listen to music.

According to his memory, Lin Chen found his way into a room where Wang Lei lived. After using his mental power to check that no one was there, he began to search the room.

Now that I'm here, how can I not get some compensation? First, I'll rob this bastard of his assets.

As he was searching, suddenly, it seemed as if a switch was touched. Wang Lei's bed slowly moved, and a bottomless passage appeared in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen walked in.

Entering the dungeon, Lin Chen felt nauseous. Every cell was filled with bloody people.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen was surprised and said, "I didn't expect that bastard turned out to be an evil soul master." With this scene in front of him, Lin Chen knew what Wang Lei had done without even thinking about it.

If that was the case, then his upgrade speed must have exceeded his expectations, which would be bad.

"There is still breath of life, in the cage right in front of you." Qian Renxue suddenly said.

Lin Chen hurriedly ran to the outside of the cage in front of him and activated his mental power to explore. He sensed a steady breath of life.

Looking closely, a ragged little girl was lying on the ground sleeping soundly, surrounded by countless bloody people. He summoned the Seven Killing Swords and lightly scratched the lock. The lock of the cage was broken immediately. Lin Chen walked forward and found that the little girl had thick dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were also red and swollen.

"She must have not slept for many days, and looking at her eyes, I don't know how long she has been crying." Lin Chen said, feeling pity in his heart.

"Are you the boy from the Lin family who survived that year?" A black shadow slowly condensed.

Lin Chen had already discovered his presence a long time ago. He must have been discovered when he broke the lock of the cage.

But Lin Chen did not run away at the moment. Since he had been discovered, there was no point in running. It would be better to stay and buy time to think of a countermeasure.

"It's me. Do you have any connection with Wang Lei?" Lin Chen's tone was as calm as water.

"Haha, you are quite patient. Six-ring cultivation is not bad. I give you two choices. First, join my holy religion. Second, become my nourishment." The man in black robe said lightly.

Holy Religion? Holy Spirit Religion? I didn't expect that the Sun Moon Empire had already started planning so early.

"Okay, but you have to wait until I finish my business, and help me shield the aura of the entire Wang family so that the outside world cannot detect it. If I kill Wang Lei, I will join your Holy Church. If I die, that is destiny."

The man in black robe looked at Lin Chen in surprise, nodded slowly, "Okay!" Then he stretched out his hand and made a mark.

"This is my mark. It won't affect your ability to perform. But if you win against Wang Lei and dare to go back on your word, you will turn into a pool of blood."

After saying this, a huge soul power instantly enveloped the entire palace. Everything that happened in the palace was blocked.
