Chapter 228: Feigning Compliance, A Huge Harvest!

Chen Xiyuan.

Chen Yan felt the powerful domain enveloping him, and his heart was filled with shock.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, boundless white light surged!

The white light represented True Intent energy!

At this moment, although Chen Yan's expression was calm, he could not hide the violent pounding of his heart.

The 【Intent】 character fruit, which had never grown before, was now growing crazily.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm, white light wrapped around the thick tree trunk.

On a branch that had never borne fruit, a white bud grew, and immediately after, a white fruit appeared!

It grew visibly from the size of a cherry to the size of an egg.

Chen Yan's eyes flickered.

What is this?

It is the same True Realm as Shen Yiwei's!

The path of True Intent has a total of three grades.

True Intent, True Realm, and True Soul.

These three grades have no clear conditions for advancement.

Some people with eighth-grade True Intent still cannot advance to the True Realm, while others with sixth-grade True Intent can advance directly to the True Realm.

Of course, the vast majority of people may never be able to comprehend True Intent in their entire lives.

It is very profound.

The True Realm is the transformation of intent into a realm.

By creating a domain unique to one's own True Intent, one's combat power within that domain is greatly enhanced.

When battling Shen Yiwei, Shen Yiwei had once explained this to Chen Yan.

Moreover, Chen Yan still remembered that when he was in Shen Yiwei's Dripping Water Sword Realm, he felt at every moment that he would be killed instantly by the dripping water.

That feeling was too terrifying.

Shen Yiwei's sword realm alone allowed him to stand undefeated in Yunmeng City.

The reason the other party would contend with the Gong family was not because their own sword realm was weak.

It was because Shen Yiwei was an honest man.

If it were Chen Yan, he would have secretly slaughtered the clan long ago; he would not be mediating and clashing with the Gong family in the open.

It's meaningless.

During their previous battle, when Shen Yiwei unleashed his sword realm, no white light appeared within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

Because that was a sword realm, even though it contained profound and boundless True Intent.

But Chen Yan cultivated fist intent and spear intent, and did not cultivate sword intent.

Therefore, Chen Yan had not comprehended it at all, and no True Intent energy would appear within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

But this time it was different.

This True Realm... "This is my spear realm, named the Green Kite True Realm," Chen Xiyuan's voice sounded, very gentle.

Chen Yan nodded; the spear intent within this spear realm was not the same path as his Extreme Pierce Spear Intent.

But in the end, they had the same goal by different means.

The comprehension in his heart at this moment was a tremendous opportunity for Chen Yan!

Word Realm, open!

Chen Yan activated the Word Realm, his mind running to the extreme; he appeared calm, but in reality, he was comprehending crazily.

Within the Saint-Breaking Realm.

The first 【Intent】 character Saint-Breaking fruit was formed!

The second one began to grow!

Chen Yan could not help but feel grateful to Chen Xiyuan in his heart.

This person had unleashed her spear realm with the intention of giving him a show of force, but she had unexpectedly provided him with a great opportunity.

Looking at the beauty with slanted bangs sitting opposite him on the sofa, Chen Yan sat on the sofa and said:

"What did you come to find me for, Your Excellency?"

Opposite him, Chen Xiyuan watched Chen Yan quietly, a trace of a smile always on her face.

But in her heart, she was sizing Chen Yan up.

As expected, just like the rumors from the outside world, both his appearance and temperament were excellent.

But the other party's attitude made a trace of dissatisfaction arise in Chen Xiyuan's heart.

She was, after all, a powerhouse from the main branch of the Chen clan, and her strength was far beyond Chen Yan's.

Yet when this person arrived, he did not offer a greeting at all; although his words were polite, his tone always carried an arrogance that kept people at a distance.

What exactly does your arrogance stem from?

Although she thought this way, the smile on Chen Xiyuan's face became increasingly gentle.

What she did not know was.

From the first moment Chen Yan saw her, his Word Realm had faintly sensed a trace of malice.

This did not stem from the malice of an ancient divine beast, but from the human heart.

That the path of will could sense the human heart was something Chen Yan only discovered after slaughtering the Gong family.

Actually, it was not a discovery, but an excavation.

The path of will is ethereal and closer to the human heart, rather than the martial path of the physical body.

Chen Xiyuan reached out her finger, brushed the long hair before her brow, and said:

"The matter between you and Luo Chen has been handled by the Chen Clan Main Branch. Luo Chen beheaded one hundred Origin Realm experts; are you satisfied with this?"

A trace of surprise appeared in Chen Yan's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.

If it were for his own sake that Luo Chen beheaded one hundred Origin Realm experts, he himself knew this was impossible.

The Main Branch doing this was nothing more than because Luo Chen had triggered the rules, so they meted out punishment.

But this woman actually came over directly and claimed it was done for his sake.

It was a bit opportunistic.

In fact, the Main Branch doing this even exacerbated the conflict between Chen Yan and the Luo Chen lineage.

That Chen Changyuan is known as the Invincible Child; although he cannot kill him openly, he certainly does not want him alive in secret.

Since that is the case...

Since the other side is so hypocritical, he shouldn't be blamed for his own actions.

"Many thanks to the Main Branch for upholding justice." Gratitude appeared in Chen Yan's eyes, followed by shock, and then it immediately transformed into an expression of relief.

This change in expression fell into Chen Xiyuan's eyes, finally causing the arc of Chen Xiyuan's lips to lift even higher.

"Chen Yan, you are a smart person. Although Luo Chen cannot target you anymore, your situation is dangerous. If you lean completely toward Great Xia,

then if Luo Chen targets you again, the Main Branch will actually turn a blind eye."

Chen Yan was silent, pursing his lips, his expression becoming somber.

Chen Xiyuan raised her brows:

"Moreover, Great Xia cannot give you too many resources; what right do they have to give you protection?

You bear the surname Chen; even if you want to be loyal to Great Xia, they will still feel you have ulterior motives and will not trust you completely."

Chen Yan nodded, saying with a hint of bitterness:

"That is the logic."

Chen Xiyuan was silent for a long while; the progress was so smooth.

Is this that Chen Yan?

He doesn't look like someone who is unreasonable; why was it so difficult to deal with him last time with Youtong, and why was she even heavily injured by Chen Yan on the street?

Chen Yan observed the Saint-Breaking Realm; although the speed at which the white light surged in had slowed down,

at this moment, the second 【Intent】 Saint-Breaking Fruit had also matured!

Forcing himself to endure the urge to eat the fruit, Chen Yan looked at Chen Xiyuan at this moment.

Chen Xiyuan smiled slightly:

"Chen Yan, do you know about the Five Clans Struggle?"

Chen Yan nodded.

Chen Xiyuan said:

"Among the Chen Clan's prodigies under fifty years old, I am ranked fifteenth. Next year's Five Clans Struggle also concerns the re-ranking of the Chen Clan's prodigies.

If I am demoted, the resources I receive will also be greatly reduced. My coming to Great Xia this time is, on one hand, to handle the matter between you and Luo Chen.

On the other hand, it is to find guest retainers with investment value, in order to have them help me during the Five Clans Struggle."

She looked at Chen Yan, and a trace of arrogance could not help but appear in her eyes:

"Although you are still very weak now, your natural talent is extremely strong. With me secretly cultivating you, no one knows what level you can reach next year."

A trace of confusion appeared in Chen Yan's eyes. Chen Xiyuan felt Chen Yan's gaze, and the arrogance in her heart grew even more, so she smiled:

"Are you willing to help me?"

Chen Xiyuan waited, as the Chen Yan opposite her seemed to have fallen into deep thought.

Chen Xiyuan sat and waited calmly the whole time, her bright eyes moving with charm, her left eye obscured by a few strands of hair.

Only, this time, Chen Yan's thinking time was very long.

So long that Chen Xiyuan also felt something was slightly wrong.

On the sofa opposite, Chen Yan breathed deeply, his right hand lightly stroking his chin, thinking extremely seriously.

To be precise, he was analyzing Chen Xiyuan's Spear Realm.

In his Speech Realm state, Chen Yan was currently experiencing a life-and-death speed every second.

The spear is the king of all weapons.

It is simple to pick up, but extremely difficult to master.

This is also why more people choose sabers and swords as weapons, and some even prefer to choose long whips, large maces, axes, or thermal weapons as their own weapons.

Very few choose the spear.

The Spear Dao is just like this; the further one goes, the harder it becomes.

Those who cultivate spear intent into a Spear Realm are even fewer and further between.

This Chen Xiyuan just happens to be one.

Must not let this go.

Time passed slowly.

Five minutes.

The third 【Intent】 fruit matured.

Inside the Saint-Breaking Realm, the white light was becoming less and less.

Ten minutes.

Twenty minutes.

The fourth 【Intent】 fruit matured.

Chen Xiyuan pursed her red lips, her brows knitting together.

Opposite her, Chen Yan suddenly said:

"My Lord, if I help you, as for Deputy Director Shen..."

Chen Xiyuan's brows lifted slightly; so that was what he was thinking about.

She spoke:

"Shen Yiwei has treated you well, but after Lu Xunyang disappeared, Shen Yiwei has been unable to even protect himself.

Only those who know the times can truly lead the tide."

Chen Yan fell into deep thought once again.

A look of speechlessness appeared in Chen Xiyuan's eyes.

Her time was precious; no one was allowed to waste it like this.

If the person opposite her were Bing Yi, she could waste as much time as he wanted.

But this was merely Chen Yan.

Although annoyed, she continued to wait nonetheless.

Because she wanted a great deal, and Chen Yan likely did not yet know it.
