Chapter 171

Zou Guojun is the only direct descent alive of the Zou family . A few of his distant relatives work as high-level officials in the government, but they only get their job with the help of the Zou family . These people are actually powerless .
Lin Luoran reviews the information on the Zou family in her head . After hearing that she has come to the capital, Chen Yun went through a lot of troubles and sent her this information . Chen Yun clearly wants to show his goodwill . This is such a bureaucratic move . No wonder he can’t enter the level of Laying Foundation… Lin burns the materials into ashes and looks at Mr . and Mrs . Zou through the window .
Grass will grow again if you don’t dig up the roots .
No close relative . Good . Though she must revenge, Lin Luoran doesn’t want to kill innocent people . God observes everything everyone is doing . Lin may vent her anger through a massacre . However, if she does so, what is her difference from Zou Yaowei, a bully, and Mrs . Zou, who has no mercy in her heart?
Stop killing by killing may seem simple, yet it is not Lin’s way of handling things .
A crystal chandelier is hanging in the study of Zou’s house . It is not so luxury, but it does show the owners’ taste . After all, this is the house of an upper-class family of Huaxia .
The study is on the second floor and there are armed bodyguards walking on the balcony . At least a dozen guards are standing by in the house, and they all have guns in their pockets!
Even a fly will have trouble flying into Zou’s house .
If the enemy of the Zou family were an ordinary person — Lin Luoran sneers . Too bad that she is not! In the darkness, Lin stands on the roof . None of the bodyguards notices her presence . With her good hearing, Lin has heard every word Mr . and Mrs . Zou just said .
This explains why Mrs . Zou acted so arrogantly in the hospital before . Turns out Commander Qin and Zou Guojun’s father were old acquaintances . In fact, Zou Guojun is quite sober at last . No matter how close his father was with Commander Qin, his family asked too many favors and his son hit Qin Baojia with a car . No friendship can survive this .
However, Zou Guojun is also truly powerful . He actually hires enough men who are able to take down any ordinary person .
This is a starless night . The capital is lighted up by millions of streetlamps . In the Zou’s house which locates in the suburban area, the only sound is Mrs . Zou’s cry .
“It is already too late to cry . ” Lin Luoran jumps down from the roof and lands on the balcony . Mrs . Zou becomes stiff . She looks up .
The bodyguards draw out the guns immediately . They react quite quickly, but Lin Luoran is faster!

Before any of the bodyguards pulls the trigger, they are thrown down the balcony by an invisible force .
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
They keep shooting at the balcony and they are not going to stop until Lin Luoran is dead on the ground .
The bullets can’t break the window . Lin Luoran raises her eyebrow .
Bullet-proof glass? The Zou family surely doesn’t give up on hope . They are putting up a life-or-death struggle!
Though Lin is in the level of Laying Foundation, her body is made of flesh and blood . She is bothered by these bullets coming right at her — only a little bit .
While dodging the bullets, Lin Luoran gathers gold light on her fingertip . It is the “Sting Tip Spell”, the spell Lin used to carve the jade pendant as a gift for little Tess . With her current level of cultivation, the spell is much more powerful than a bee’s sting!
Lots of shiny “bee stings” rush out the second Lin finishes making the hand gestures . The bee stings collide with the bullets . One by one, the bullets fall on the ground .
The fight is intense . Mrs . Zou nervously holds Zou Guojun’s hand . Zou Guojun gives his wife an assuring look .
The Zou family always prepares for everything .
If Zou Guojun were able to see the bullets on the ground clearly, he would not have so much confidence . Lin’s bee’s stings thoroughly go into the heads of these bullets and go out from the bottom . They change the trace of the bullet completely!
There is something more . The bee stings are not only sharp, they also follow Lin Luoran’s order and hit both hands of all the armed bodyguards . In an instance, the guards kneel on the ground and wail .
Lin turns around and looks at Zou Guowei and his wife with a smile . Mrs . Zou gets even more nervous .
“Hello again, Mrs . Zou . ”

Behind the glass, Mrs . Zou can see that Lin’s lips are moving but she can’t hear Lin’s voice . What she does understand is that Lin is sneering .
While being afraid, Mrs . Zou gets angry for no reason .
Last time, they met each other in the hospital, Mrs . Zou fled . She hated Lin Luoran since then . Later, Zou Yaowei was beaten up, which was traced back to Lin Luoran again . Mrs . Zou wanted to slaughter the entire Lin family to revenge her son!
However, Zou Yaowei’s master said that the Lin family was protected . They had to be patient… They waited for three years and everything they got was a dead son!
Thinking of this, Mrs . Zou’s eyes are filled with hatred .
Lin Luoran draws a circle with her fingertip on the bullet-proof glass — the glass is not broken!
Why…
Lin Luoran is a little surprised . The sound of machine comes from over her head . A huge bell suddenly falls from the roof and caps Lin Luoran . The bell is so heavy that the entire balcony shakes when it hits the floor . Fortunately, the house is solid, or else it may collapse .
Seeing that Lin Luoran is capped in the bell, Mrs . Zou is thrilled . Zou Guojun doesn’t show any emotion .
“Crack . ” The sound of machine comes again . Like all the rich and powerful families in the world, the Zou family also has a “backroom” in its study . Now, the door of the secret room is open . A middle-aged man in Taoist robe comes out .
“Master, your plan is perfect . The enemy is captured . Should we move on with the plan?” Zou Guojun makes a bow . He seems to respect the Taoist a lot .
Who said that the Zou family must rely on others?
The acquaintances of Old Mr . Zou are reliable! — This middle-aged Taoist is the “master living in seclusion” whom Zou Guojun took so much trouble to invite here . The master has made a perfect plan which actually works out!
Zou Guojun gloats and Mrs . Zou feels happy for the first time in a while . None of them notices that the hands of the “master” are shaking .

God! If he knew that the enemy of the Zou family was a cultivator in the level of Laying Foundation, he would never step out his secluded house no matter what Zou Guojun offers!
What should he do…? The middle-aged Taoist is thinking fast . He thinks that maybe the bell and the glass he strengthened with spells can withstand the attack of a cultivator in the level of Laying Foundation . The next second, the bell shakes .
“Hiss— ” The bell shakes . However, the sound doesn’t even sound like the clash of metal . It sounds more like someone rips a piece of paper with a sharp knife .
That’s right . The strengthened bronze bell is like a thin piece of brown paper . The person trapped inside waves a sword .
With a flash of light, the bell is broken into halves .
In front of the stunned couple of the Zou family, Lin Luoran stands with a sword in her right hand . Lin is unscathed . Through the bullet-proof window, she stares at the “master” Zou invited here .
The middle-aged Taoist’s eyes are wide open . This is the first time he sees the cultivator in the level of Laying Foundation clearly .
A girl in her twenties?
He has only spent a decade on the mountain . How can the world of cultivation change so fast? When did this young person enter the level of Laying Foundation — a female one? The Taoist’s fingers are numb . Everybody knows that female cultivators are mean and unreasonable . What should he do?
The middle-aged Taoist is desperate . He overlooks the distress signal of the Zou couple . After all, he doesn’t even know how to save himself from this situation!
Lin Luoran sneers . She slashes the bullet-proof glass with the Bright Sword . The glass, strengthened by some mysterious spells, doesn’t have a chance of resisting the attack of a Grade Five magic weapon . The glass is shattered .
With his good eyesight, the middle-aged Taoist sees that the pieces of glass on the ground have become white frost . He shivers .
The psychological line of defense of the Zou couple breaks like the shattered glass .
As soon as Lin Luoran steps into the study, Mrs . Zou rushes at Lin hysterically . She is kicked away before she touches Lin’s clothes .
Zou Guojun collapses . He doesn’t fake this . He is really hopeless . No matter how powerful he is in the government, nothing can save his life now .
The middle-aged Taoist makes a bow and says “senior” . Lin Luoran answers indifferently: “You are quite capable in some ways . ” Lin’s words make him even more embarrassed .
Lin Luoran is not flattering him . This middle-aged Taoist is only in the middle stage of Training Qi . She didn’t realize that he was here . The man is indeed capable of hiding his presence .
Lin has thought so many times about how to deal with Zou Yaowei’s parents . She has to build her authority and vent the anger in her heart .
Zou Guojun looks frustrated and his wife, who always acts arrogantly, is lying on the ground by the table with messy hair . Looking at them, Lin feels that revenge is pointless .
Nevertheless, she will definitely not let them go now . The Zou family has lost their only son and all of their respects . Sooner or later, they will come and look for vengeance . However, Lin Luoran is not interested in torturing them .
Therefore, Lin Luoran throws two fireballs at Zou Guojun and his wife . The middle-aged Taoist watches aside . In a few seconds, Zou and his wife die in the same way their son did .
Listening to the screams of the Zou couple, the Taoist is soaked in sweat . Lin Luoran fulfills her purpose today and turns around to stare at the man . The Taoist can’t help being afraid .
Who said that cultivators aren’t afraid of death?
One who owns a fortune fears poverty the most .
In a similar way, cultivators, who pursue long life, fear death even more than the mortals!
At this tense moment, the middle-aged Taoist suddenly thinks of something Lin Luoran just said — you are quite capable in some ways . He certainly knows that there is one thing that the cultivator in the level of Laying Foundation may be interested in .
“Senior, I’m so sorry . I didn’t know that the Zou family was against you . He fooled me to come here . I’m glad to offer you the “Breath-holding Spell” . Could you please forgive me…?”
The man says with reverence and awe . In fact, Lin Luoran is even more surprised .
What? Do I look like a robber?
