Dashing Student-Chapter 547 , Hard to Compete

Hearing Han Lu's words, Lin Yu felt as if struck by lightning. Originally slumped on the sofa, he was abruptly pulled up by an invisible force, standing up swiftly.

His eyes were wide and bloodshot, and he looked as if he was about to devour Han Lu alive.

"What did you say? Chen Nan is proficient in Gu Technique? And he's about to become the new Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect?" Lin Yu's voice, sharp and piercing due to anger and shock, echoed in the empty living room, sounding particularly terrifying.

He had been in a high position for many years, always living in comfort, rarely getting angry, and had never lost his composure like this before!

Han Lu nervously said, "Yes, Chen Nan had previously killed a traitor of the Poisonous Insect Sect and obtained the Sect Leader Token."

"Logically speaking, whoever obtains this Sect Leader Token would become the new Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect."

"But the Poisonous Insect Sect does not understand Chen Nan's strength, nor are they aware that he can also use Gu Technique. That's why they sent Elder Wu Yin to kill Chen Nan."

"But now, Chen Nan has not only killed Wu Yin but also proven his mastery in Gu Technique. Him becoming the Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect is just a matter of time!"

Lin Yu stood there, stunned.

He could not accept this fact at all.

In his mind, Chen Nan was just a small figure who could be easily manipulated, a pathetic creature seeking revenge.

But now, Han Lu's words struck him like a heavy hammer, smashing his pride and confidence to pieces.

He had always thought he was the unrivaled power in the provincial city.

Both the legitimate and the underworld gave him some respect.

But Chen Nan's rise had far exceeded his imagination.

This brought him an unprecedented sense of fear and unrest, as if an invisible giant hand was gradually dragging him into an endless abyss.

After all, Chen Nan already had deep connections with the Suoming Sect. If he becomes the Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect, with his own power, how could he contend with him?

"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lin Yu shook his head frantically, muttering incessantly.

He paced back and forth in the living room, his steps hurried and frantic, like a wild animal trapped in a cage, unable to find a way out.

"Chen Nan is just a nobody, how could he possibly master Gu Technique? How could he possibly become the Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect?"

"You must be lying to me, you must be!" Lin Yu suddenly stopped, glaring fiercely at Han Lu, emitting a low growl.

Han Lu was frightened by Lin Yu's demeanor, her face turned pale, and she involuntarily stepped back a few steps, her body trembling slightly.

"Young Master, everything I saw with my own eyes, there's absolutely no falsehood!" Han Lu said, trying to suppress her inner fear.

Hearing Han Lu's words, the anger and fear in Lin Yu's heart intensified.

He punched the table beside him, with a loud "bang", making the wine glasses on the table jump and spilling wine all over the floor.

He knew well that if Chen Nan truly became the new Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect, his situation would become extremely dangerous.

The power of the Poisonous Insect Sect was vast, and once Chen Nan took control of that power, Lin Yu would definitely be the first one he would deal with.

Thinking of this, a chill surged in Lin Yu's heart. He must quickly figure out a countermeasure, otherwise, what awaited him would be an irreparable abyss.

Han Lu bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes filled with hesitation and struggle.

After a considerable time, she mustered up her courage and cautiously said, "Young Master, the situation is extremely perilous right now, why don't we go out and hide?"

"Let's avoid this storm for now and make plans once the situation stabilizes."

Her voice was gentle and carried a tremble, clearly frightened by Lin Yu's current frenzied emotions, but out of concern for Lin Yu's safety, she couldn't help but express her thoughts.

"Snap!"

A crisp and loud slap echoed suddenly, reverberating in the rather empty living room.

On Han Lu's fair cheek, a bright red palm imprint swiftly appeared, the vivid marks of five fingers were particularly striking against her originally tender skin.

She was knocked sideways by this slap, her hair instantly becoming disheveled and falling beside her cheeks.

The sudden hit caused her head to buzz, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.

She slowly turned her head, her gaze filled with disbelief and grievance.

Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but the choking emotions clogged her throat, ultimately she could only let out a weak sob.

Lin Yu's eyes were round with fury, as if flames were about to shoot out, and his entire demeanor resembled an enraged lion, completely losing rationality.

His palm was slightly red from the force; this slap was delivered with almost his entire strength, directly striking Han Lu's fair face.

"Don't even mention Chen Nan hasn't come knocking on my door yet, even if he truly discovers my whereabouts, I definitely won't run!" Lin Yu roared hysterically, his facial muscles distorted with rage, looking particularly ferocious.

"I have been painstakingly managing my affairs in this provincial city for years. I've finally attained my current status. If I were to run now, how would I ever establish myself here again? Would Lin Yu's reputation not be completely ruined?"

His voice was almost hoarse, each word seemed to be squeezed through his teeth, filled with resentment and anger.

At this point, Lin Yu's facial expression suddenly took a drastic turn, the ferocious look vanished in an instant, replaced by a slightly intriguing and eerie smile.

"Retreating ten thousand steps, people say that the most dangerous place is often the safest."

"Even if Chen Nan is as formidable as they say, he probably wouldn't expect that I would continue to stay in the provincial city amidst this turmoil, right?"

As he spoke, he slowly paced, his eyes shimmering with a crazed and confident light.

Suddenly.

Lin Yu halted his steps, turned his head to look at Han Lu, and couldn't help asking, "Have you investigated Jingxu Zi's whereabouts?"

He had previously spent a fortune to hire Qingyun Temple's master Jingxu Zi to eliminate Chen Nan, but Jingxu Zi not only lost to Chen Nan but even had Qingyang Temple's tablet and incense burner taken by Chen Nan.

After that, Qingyang Temple was removed from Jianghu.

Jingxu Zi and several of his disciples seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, with no one knowing their whereabouts.

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Han Lu finally came to her senses, and respectfully said, "It has been investigated. Jingxu Zi led his disciples to the Qinling Mountain Range."

Hearing this, a hardly concealable excitement surged in Lin Yu's eyes: "The Qinling Mountain Range? Isn't that the domain of the Great Grandmaster Hu Sandao?"

"Exactly, Hu Sandao is the backer behind Jingxu Zi!"

"If Jingxu Zi seeks Great Grandmaster Hu Sandao's help, even if Chen Nan becomes the Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect, or even unifies the Outer Eight Sects, what of it?"

"Could he possibly defeat a super powerhouse of the Great Grandmaster level?"
