Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 995: Confused Lin Zejie

Just when Ye Xuan arrived at the Pang family, Lin Zejie didn't know that he had fallen into Ye Xuan's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. He used the teleportation array and spent half an incense stick of time to finally return to the royal Lin family.

In the eastern territory of the Lin family, the two forces were facing each other across a thousand feet.

Lin Zejie flew over quickly.

Seeing him coming, the crowd started to talk. The leader of the Ghost Demon Sect said coldly, "Lin Zejie! Humph, you are finally willing to take off that dark black robe."

"What do you mean?"

Lin Zejie arrived, and before he could say anything, Lin Tu at the side had already asked him with a cold face.

The Lin family had great faith in Lin Zejie's character, but the leader of the Guisha Sect actually questioned his eldest brother, which made Lin Tu furious.

Lin Yue and others also glared at each other.

The leader of the Ghost Demon Sect laughed. With strong men from the imperial clan, the Luo family, currently holding back the Fairy Lan Yue and other Saint Kings in the Lin family, he was no longer afraid of the Lin family.

His smile was extremely cold, and the bad attitude of Lin Tu and other Lin family disciples made him believe that the Lin family was the culprit.

"What do you mean? You know what I mean. Humph, Lin Zejie, as the young patriarch of the royal family, went to my Guisha Sect and caused a big commotion. Not only did he destroy our sect, he also stole our 'Soul-Calming Pearl'. Lin Zejie, you have done all these good things, and now you have the nerve to ask us what we mean.

I tell you today, if you don’t give a perfect explanation, even if we, the Ghost Demon Sect, try our best, we will fight a war with your Lin family to destroy the sect.”

"What is he saying?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why can't I understand?"

Several senior members of the Lin family beside Lin Zejie looked at each other, not knowing what the other party was talking about.

Lin Tu simply sneered, "Nonsense, I think your brain is stuck."

Everyone in the Ghost Demon Sect was furious at the same time. Well, your young leader not only destroyed our sect, but also stole our inheritance treasure. Now we come to you, not only pretending to know nothing, but also mocking you. Do you really think that the Ghost Demon Sect is easy to bully?

Immediately, the Ghost Demon Sect's leader, the great elder, and a number of high-level officials all looked gloomy. The Ghost Demon Sect's leader even raised his hand, and with just one wave, all the sect's warriors would launch an attack.

"Brother Tu, shut up. What do I usually say? You must keep your mind pure and speak carefully when facing important matters." Lin Zejie shouted angrily and glared at his cousin fiercely.

Then he turned around with a gentle smile on his face, "Master of the Ghost Demon Sect, I think there may be some misunderstanding. I have been in the Pang family all these days and have never left. Miss Pang can testify for me.

Moreover, the Ghost Demon Sect was destroyed, why do you think it must have been me?"

"Others have already come to my doorstep, why bother explaining so much? Just defeat them first." Lin Tu muttered in a low voice, not daring to let his brothers hear.

The Ghost Demon Sect member's expression slightly improved, but still remained cold. The Ghost Demon Sect leader said coldly: "What a joke, your fiancée will definitely speak for you, as for why she was sure it was you.

The man who attacked our sect not only looked exactly like you, but he also used the God-Eating Vine. That God-Eating Vine descended to the mortal world and directly destroyed our sect.

Humph, the entire Spirit Realm knows that you, Lin Zejie, are the only one who can use the God Devouring Vine martial spirit. Now you tell me it’s a misunderstanding, fine, find me another person who can use the God Devouring Vine, and I will believe it’s a misunderstanding.”

"What? God-eating vine?" Lin Zejie exclaimed in shock, somewhat unbelievable.

"You are slandering me!" The top leaders of the Lin family shouted in unison. They looked down upon this Ghost Demon Sect and trusted the character of their own young patriarch even more.

The leader of the Guisha Sect was so angry that he was shaking all over. He didn't expect the Lin family to be so tough.

In fact, although the Lin family is known as a kind family, their attitude towards the outside world has always been tough.

The martial arts continent believes in the law of the jungle and the rule of the strong being respected. Even if you have extremely strong power, if you do not show a correspondingly strong attitude, other royal families will still think you are just for show and will always be keeping an eye on you.

The Lin family is known as a kind family because it is extremely kind to its affiliated forces and has gained its good reputation by relying on the flattery of these forces.

Of course, the Lin family is relatively upright. For example, in a situation like today, the Lin family, as a royal family, would still talk to the Guisha Sect first. If it were any other royal family, they would definitely destroy this affiliated force without saying a word.

A subordinate force actually dared to resist and protect the royal family. The Lin family is simply too easy to get along with.

"Okay, great Lin family, great Lin Zejie. I won't say anything else. I just want the Soul-Calming Pearl from you. If you are willing to return it and compensate our sect for its losses, we can still discuss this matter. Otherwise, we will have to fight."

The leader of the Ghost Demon Sect threatened loudly, but in fact he had no choice but to do so. He was in a difficult situation and did not want to fight to the death with the Lin family unless it was necessary.

Even if they get the support of the Luo family, as long as the Saint King of the Lin family is alive, they can destroy the Ghost Demon Sect.

However, the destruction of the sect could still be discussed and rebuilt, but the "Soul-Calming Pearl" was related to the foundation of their sect, and there was no way out.

Lin Zejie was silent for a moment, and then he said calmly, "Master of the Ghost Demon Sect, are you really sure that the person who destroyed your sect used the God Devouring Vine?"

While he was speaking, a dark shadow came rushing over from a distance. It was the intelligence warrior of the Lin family, wearing a black warrior uniform, and whispered:

"Young Patriarch, we have checked the latest intelligence. The Ghost Demon Sect was destroyed and has now turned into a vine forest. It is indeed the divine vine that has descended to the world!"

"Hmm?" Lin Zejie's eyes fixed.

Many Lin family leaders looked strange after hearing the news and subconsciously looked at Lin Zejie.

They can disbelieve what others say, but they cannot help but believe what their own intelligence warriors say. As everyone knows, the only one who can perform the Divine Vine Descending Realm is Lin Zejie, and it cannot be anyone else. This is like the sun rising from the east, deeply rooted in people's hearts.

At this moment, they were shaken. Could it be that the young patriarch really did it secretly?

Even Lin Tu, Lin Yue and other disciples looked strange after hearing the news.

Lin Tu whispered, "No way, big brother, did you really do it? Didn't you go to pick up girls? Why did you go to a gloomy place like the Ghost Demon Gate?"

Even Lin Zejie himself looked at a loss, and was shaken for a thousandth of a second. Could it be that he really did it? But why didn't he have any memory of it?
"Brother, what should we do now?" Lin Yue asked in a low voice, with anxiety in his eyes.

Lin Tu, Lin Yue and other Lin family members are no longer as powerful as before.

Just now, they believed that the Guisha Sect was slandering them, and now the intelligence also said that the Guisha Sect was destroyed by wood magic, so he was embarrassed.
