Attacked in Prison

After the jailers escorted the two men into Chen Lin's cell, they hurriedly left the dungeon.

The two men entered the cell and first swept their expressionless gazes over every prisoner inside. In the end, both sets of eyes landed on Chen Lin.

Chen Lin frowned. A powerful feeling suddenly rose within him—they seemed to be here for him.

Sure enough, not long after the jailers left, the two men almost simultaneously raised their legs and launched savage flying kicks at Chen Lin.

"Courting death!" Chen Lin narrowed his eyes, a flicker of anger flashing through them.

He raised both fists and smashed them fiercely into the two incoming feet, one on each side.

The two burly men sneered inwardly at Chen Lin's movements. They had both been born with immense strength, and after embarking upon the martial path, their power had become boundless.

Seeing Chen Lin's slender frame and how he looked as though he did not have much strength in him, they were even somewhat worried that a single kick might kill him.

Bang! Bang!

Dull impacts rang out, accompanied by the sound of bones snapping. The two iron-tower-like men let out agonized howls and were blasted away by Chen Lin's fists like shattered dolls. They slammed viciously into the cell's iron bars, bending them into a startling arc.

"Ahhh!"

The two men clutched their thighs in agony and rolled ceaselessly across the ground.

Before Chen Lin could make another move, the jailer who had been observing the situation at the end of the dungeon heard the commotion and rushed over, shouting, "What are you doing? What are you doing? All of you, squat down! Squat down!"

Chen Lin did not squat. He merely watched the jailer's performance with cold eyes.

When the arriving jailer saw that the iron bars confining the prisoners had been bent like bean sprouts, a flash of horror passed through his eyes.

He no longer dared to berate Chen Lin. He waved at the subordinates behind him and had them drag the two burly men with fractured thigh bones out like dead dogs.

In the dungeon, Warden Lin had been leisurely drinking when the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao hurried over and interrupted his enjoyment.

"Old Yao, your expression doesn't look right! What happened?" Warden Lin frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

"Old Lin, we're in trouble! I just went to the War God Temple to inquire about the identity of the man we caught. I found that he really wasn't lying. A martial student named Chen Lin did indeed join the War God Temple today." The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao looked utterly miserable.

Crash!

Warden Lin's body swayed upon hearing this. He lost his footing and knocked the table and chairs before him into disarray. The fine wine and dishes that had just been laid out spilled all over the floor in an instant.

"The sky has fallen, the sky has fallen. If we've offended someone from the War God Temple, will we still have lives to live? I heard that as long as the War God Temple has an excuse, they can kill people and no one dares to interfere!" Warden Lin's face went deathly pale as he muttered unconsciously.

"The only way to make amends now is for us to hurry and apologize to that young man. Otherwise, if we truly offend him beyond repair, we're finished!" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao slapped Warden Lin's shoulder, jolting him back to his senses.

"It's too late! I couldn't withstand the pressure just now and sent two martial artists in for Young Master Zhou. By now, they've probably already finished the job!" Warden Lin said with a face full of despair.

"What? Didn't I remind you that you could not resort to any measures until I verified that man's identity? What were you thinking?" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao immediately flew into a rage and demanded sternly.

"I didn't want to either! It was just... just that Young Master Zhou offered far too much. I couldn't resist for a moment, so..." Warden Lin wore a bitter expression.

"Old Lin, you fool! Aren't you usually a shrewd man? How did you suddenly come down with this affliction? Enough talking. Let's hurry over and see whether there's still a chance to remedy this!" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao could not remain still after saying this. He immediately moved to drag Warden Lin to the dungeon.

"Which one of you is in charge here?" He Yanjun strode in with Chen Yu, his eyes imposing as he asked in a deep voice.

The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao and Warden Lin glanced at He Yanjun's waist and were instantly so frightened by the two gleaming red-gold copper coins that their legs went weak.

"I'm talking to you! Which one of you is in charge here?" Seeing that neither answered, Chen Yu anxiously demanded in a loud voice.

Warden Lin bent at the waist and raised a hand, answering in a trembling voice, "In reply to you, sir, I am the warden here. Whatever orders you have, please give them! I guarantee that I will do my utmost to carry them out!"

"Did you arrest someone named Chen Lin here today? Where is he? Release him. He belongs to our War God Temple. You are not qualified to imprison him!" He Yanjun ordered expressionlessly.

Warden Lin and the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao exchanged glances, their faces instantly turning ashen. Warden Lin did not dare hesitate in the slightest and immediately said ingratiatingly, "Please wait here a moment, sirs. I'll go invite that gentleman out at once!"

With that, the two turned and prepared to head for the dungeon.

"No need. We'll go together!" Seeing the two dragging their feet, He Yanjun said coldly.

"This..." Warden Lin immediately looked troubled.

After all, if the two of them went first, they could use the time difference to apologize and settle the matter. But if these people went together, the price they would have to pay to seek Chen Lin's forgiveness later would be enormous.

"What? Is there a problem?" He Yanjun frowned. A powerful aura immediately pressed down upon them, terrifying them until their livers and gallbladders nearly burst.

"No problem, no problem. We're only afraid the dungeon is too filthy and might offend your eyes, sirs!" The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao hurriedly explained.

"Lead the way!" He Yanjun said impatiently.

Warden Lin and the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao led He Yanjun and Chen Yu into the dungeon. Halfway there, they happened to run into the jailers dragging two iron-tower-like men head-on.

"Warden Lin, that man..."

"What man? Hurry and lock them up!" Seeing this, Warden Lin quickly interrupted his subordinate's report and gave him a meaningful look.

The jailer immediately shut his mouth, then bowed and nodded in acknowledgment.

When they arrived at Chen Lin's cell, He Yanjun glanced at the iron bars near the cell door and immediately formed a few suspicions.

"Senior He, Brother Yu, you're here?" Chen Lin called out joyfully upon seeing the two.

"Mm. After I received Uncle's letter, I immediately went to find Senior He! It's fortunate we arrived in time. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened!" Chen Yu had also noticed the abnormality in the bars beside the cell door and spoke indignantly.

When Warden Lin and the Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao saw that Chen Lin had not suffered the slightest injury, they could not help but let out heavy sighs of relief inwardly.

As long as he was unharmed, there was still room to turn things around.

"Open the door and release him!" He Yanjun did not say much. He directly gave the order in a deep voice.

"I'll release him right away, right away!" Warden Lin hurriedly took the keys from his waist and opened the door in a fluster.

The Black Armored Soldier surnamed Yao bowed to Chen Lin and apologized, "Young Master Chen, I'm sorry. This lowly one was blind and failed to recognize a true hero. Please do not blame me, Young Master Chen. Give this lowly one a chance to make amends!"

"Fine. Then tell me—who sent those two men in just now?" A cold glint flashed through Chen Lin's eyes as he asked in a deep voice.
