Chapter 416: This Is Built by My Beloved

"Fine."

Lin Chuan's expression still showed little change.

Mo Sangyu sat to one side, her expression growing increasingly odd, even a hint of doubt in her heart: who between me and this guy is the real demon lord?

This guy's way of establishing the Myriad Symbol Pavilion actually requires people's souls?

What a solid evil technique!

But they're all Demon Cultivators; who is more noble? Since she agreed to help Lin Chuan and stay within the Myriad Symbol Pavilion, she naturally won't meddle in other affairs.

Moreover, she also has a little curiosity.

"Let's go. We'll fetch your sister now; with so many resources in the Myriad Symbol Pavilion, supporting a little girl is still quite easy."

Lin Chuan's tone was calm, showing no concern for the Tiechu Xiuzhe whose expression was gradually off.

"Hey, Lord of Myriad Symbol Pavilion, you don't seem to be taking me seriously, huh?"

Tiechu Xiuzhe sneered, "Playing a drama with me here? If you now extract his soul, I'll turn around and leave immediately."

Lin Chuan smiled, "At least the siblings should be reunited."

"What if I refuse?"

Tiechu Xiuzhe unleashed a powerful aura again, "Kid, I know you have some skill, but let me tell you."

"Behind me stands the super power Xuanyuan Family."

"You can't afford to offend them."

"I never go back on a promise; there's no way around it, so Daoist Friend, please leave." Lin Chuan remained calm.

Tiechu Xiuzhe narrowed his eyes, momentarily uncertain.

What background does this kid have?

He even blurted out the Xuanyuan Family's name, yet the other side still wore an indifferent expression.

Could he also be a disciple behind some super power?

Shangguan Qing inexplicably gained confidence; perhaps this is his destiny—being able to trade his own death for his sister's safety is already his greatest fortune.

"Let's go."

Lin Chuan infused a stream of spiritual energy into Shangguan Qing's body, "My affairs here are quite busy; don't waste too much time."

He believes this battle will spread his reputation, and seekers will come to trade with him endlessly.

"Go?"

Tiechu Xiuzhe sneered, "Then let me see where your confidence to leave so easily comes from!"

Boom!

Tiechu Xiuzhe erupted with a thunderous blast.

The massive image of a hammer manifested, enveloping the entire Myriad Symbol Pavilion; a single strike could level the pavilion to the ground.

Lin Chuan didn't block, lifted Shangguan Qing by the collar, and drifted away lightly.

Bang—!

A terrifying hammer slammed down, with a crushing momentum that shattered the Myriad Symbol Pavilion; a second hammer followed immediately, its murderous intent fully revealed.

His backing is the Xuanyuan Family, so he naturally isn't afraid of the opponent's background.

"You, how could you be like this?"

Lin Chuan sighed lightly, "My Myriad Symbol Pavilion was forged with Chaos Stone; you smashed it, so you must pay compensation."

"Compensate? Do you have a life to take?" Tiechu Xiuzhe was truly angry.

The opponent's aura was clearly weak, yet his tone carried mockery and humiliation toward him.

Mo Sangyu crossed her arms over her chest, showing no intent to help; she could see Lin Chuan handling things with ease, his performance far surpassing her opponent's strength.

If she were to face this Tiechu, she would probably have to give her all to defeat the opponent.

That thought just rose in her mind when the battlefield situation shifted instantly.

Lin Chuan took a step forward, and in the next instant appeared behind the Tiechu Xiuzhe; the latter, as if struck by lightning, his tiger-like body jolted and failed to react,

and was immediately seized by Lin Chuan's grip around his neck, pressed down to the ground.

Bang—!

Tiechu Xiuzhe was forced into the ground, a wave of energy spreading outward.

It triggered countless gasps inside and outside the Daoist arena.

A servant of the Xuanyuan Family, a Chuandao Sijing strongman, was suppressed like this?

"Lin Chuan's strength is stronger than I imagined; no wonder he could drive back the Witch Mountain Elder. In the Legend Realm, he must be in an invincible state."

Mo Sangyu was also somewhat shocked.

This was her first time witnessing Lin Chuan's power with her own eyes.

"What exactly is his background?"

The same question had arisen countless times in Mo Sangyu's mind.

There were things she didn't want to admit, yet had to.

Regarding Lin Chuan, she had always felt something special since the first glance, but she kept suppressing it.

But this suppression grew harder to maintain as their interactions increased.

She disliked having her emotions controlled by others.

In the ruins, Shangguan Qing was also dumbfounded; the Myriad Symbol Pavilion master wasn't bragging—he truly possessed strength!

"Compensate."

Lin Chuan crouched on the ground, one hand pressing the Tiechu Xiuzhe, "If you don't compensate, no one can save you; even the Xuanyuan Family's ancestors can't help."

"You—!"

Tiechu Xiuzhe's face turned red and his head swelled; he was humiliated yet unable to fight back.

He has never endured such grievance.

"You... how many do you want, I'll pay you."

When one is under a eave, one must bow one's head; Tiechu Xiuzhe knew he had been cornered today—if not for his Xuanyuan Family status, he might have lost his life.

He dared not entertain any thoughts of fighting.

As for how to handle the aftermath, the Xuanyuan Family will send stronger ones; relying on him cannot possibly eradicate the Shangguan Qing siblings.

"Not many."

Lin Chuan extended a single finger, "Just this amount."

"One Chaos Stone?" Tiechu Xiuzhe asked tentatively.

Chaos Stones originate from the Chaos Universe; only a Wangxian Realm great power can harvest them, making them an extremely scarce resource.

Even though he has served the Xuanyuan Family for many years.

All these years, he has only amassed ten Chaos Stones, and parting with even one pains him.

"One?"

Lin Chuan grew angry, "Are you sending me to beg for food? Do you know how much effort I poured into constructing this Myriad Symbol Pavilion?"

Tiechu Xiuzhe, on the verge of tears, asked, "Then how many do you want?"

"One thousand."

Lin Chuan uttered a number.

He had originally wanted ten thousand, but Tiechu Xiuzhe was clearly not worth that price; even if he killed the other party, the Xuanyuan Family would not come to redeem him.

"One thousand? Impossible!"

Tiechu Xiuzhe, nearly fainting with anger, said, "Your Myriad Symbol Pavilion is clearly forged from mortal materials; if it were truly made of Chaos Stone, how could I flatten it with a single hammer strike?"

Lin Chuan said solemnly, "Even asking you for a thousand is already the low end; this Myriad Symbol Pavilion was forged by my beloved, and not even hundreds of millions of Chaos Stones could equal it!"

Mo Sangyu, standing nearby, was full of question marks.

"Beloved?"

"Is she talking about me?"

"Who is your beloved? We've only just met for a short time!"

"Is this guy doing it on purpose or by accident? Just a metaphor!?"

Mo Sangyu stared intently at Lin Chuan's face, trying to detect any clue, but he was too earnest; when he uttered that sentence, his face didn't redden, his heart didn't race, and he even wore a sincere expression,

just as if it were genuine!

But how could it possibly be genuine?

"Your emotional fluctuations are huge," the gentle voice in his heart sounded again.

"Mo Sangyu, shut up for me."

The Witch, angry, said, "Clearly you are the one influencing me; you fell for it. That's what men are like—being able to utter the words 'beloved' so casually."

The gentle voice in his heart laughed, "Perhaps it's true? He fell in love with you at first sight?"

"Impossible!"

The Witch said coldly, "I will never believe a man's love in this lifetime!"
