Chapter 415

Lihun Region.

Wangchuan Terrace.

A relatively ancient city in the Lihun Region.

East of the city, Yan family area.

Outer street alley, a small courtyard with only one entrance.

"Princess, the main family is simply too excessive to arrange such a residence for you."

Su Qin's face was very dissatisfied. Her princess crossed the Donghai Region and traveled thousands of miles to the Lihun Region's main family, the Yan family, but the Yan family actually treated her princess with such contempt.

"It's not bad that the Yan family could arrange a residence for us. Our Murong family is just one of hundreds of branches of the Yan family."

Murong Yan did not care and smiled as she looked around the courtyard.

Although the courtyard is small, at least there will be no danger.

This time, from the island to the Lihun Region, the sea journey was still okay; with the help of the Wudao Alliance elders escorting them, they arrived safely in the Donghai Region.

But from the Donghai Region to the Lihun Region, they encountered some dangers on the road. The escort team sent by the Emperor to her was left with only Su Qin and two others; the other eight all met with disaster.

She is indeed a princess of the Yan Kingdom, but in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, she counts for nothing at all.

Su Qin did not say anything more after hearing her princess's words. She knew that something must have happened between the princess and the main family of the Yan family.

When the princess first arrived at the Yan family, the Yan family's attitude was still very enthusiastic, and they even took the princess to see the Yan family elders. But after meeting the elders, the Yan family's attitude changed immediately; the original enthusiasm was gone, and their attitude toward her princess became cold.

Su Qin did not know why the main family of the Yan family had such a change in attitude, but Murong Yan knew it in her heart.

Time rewinds to half a day ago.

Yan family main residence.

Murong Yan, led by the Yan family clansmen, met the elders of the clan.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect our Yan family to have a branch overseas. It must have been hard for you to come all the way from the Donghai islands."

The Yan family elder's attitude was very kind, which made Murong Yan feel relieved.

What she feared most on the way was that the main family would not recognize their branch, but now she could wait to settle down and find a way to write to her father and mother.

But the moment the elder touched her arm, everything changed.

"You are actually no longer a virgin?"

Murong Yan could feel the anger in the elder's eyes, and before she could answer, the elder's expression turned cold, and he directly dismissed her.

She had given her virginity to Lin Chen before leaving the island.

By the time she walked out of the main hall, the clansmen who brought her there no longer had their previous enthusiasm, and their words were filled with mockery.

Cannot keep oneself clean.

Wasted this face.

At this point, Murong Yan understood everything.

The reason the main family was so enthusiastic about her before was because of her appearance, wanting to arrange a marriage between her and someone else?

But because she was not a virgin, the possibility of marriage was gone, and she had no value in the eyes of the main family.

Thinking about it, the Yan family has hundreds of branches.

In the eyes of the main family, branches count for nothing, let alone a branch that hasn't been in contact for thousands of years; where is there any family affection to speak of?

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the main family, these branches are not even as close as the servants in the clan.

"The Yan family is not a place to stay for long."

Murong Yan, as a princess of the Yan Kingdom, knows too much about the affairs of the powerful.

Because of her appearance, the Yan family was so enthusiastic about her, yet because she was not a virgin, they became cold toward her in an instant.

It can only mean that the Yan family needs to curry favor with some force through marriage.

And the fact that the Yan family's attitude changed so quickly shows that this matter is very urgent for the Yan family. The Yan family is facing some kind of crisis and has no strength to solve it itself, so it needs to borrow external force to solve it.

After cleaning up the courtyard, Murong Yan was just about to rest when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps and discussions outside.

Even those martial artists who follow the body-refining path rely on special heaven and earth energy, such as the Innate Fire of the Boundless God-Phase Art.

Dozens of breaths later, Su Qin returned, but there was an irrepressible excitement on her face.

"Aunt Qin, what is the matter that makes you so excited?"

Murong Yan was a bit confused. They have no relatives or friends in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao; what could happen to make Aunt Qin so excited?

"I heard news about Young Master Lin."

Su Qin answered immediately, unable to hide the surprise on her face: "The young people outside the door just now were all preparing to go watch Young Master Lin's challenge on Martial Way Mountain."

……

……

Alley entrance.

At this moment, many young men and women gathered, and among these young men and women, a woman with a graceful figure wearing a veil stared at the light screen in front.

In half a year, Lin Chen's appearance hadn't changed much, but the confidence revealed between his brows was much richer than when he was in the Nine Kingdoms.

A hidden dragon leaving the abyss—once it meets the wind and clouds, it transforms into a dragon. The Nine Kingdoms were the abyss, and Lin Chen was that hidden dragon.

The Canglan Sect was the wind and clouds.

Now that he has walked out of the Nine Kingdoms, walked to the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, and become a disciple of the Canglan Sect, he can finally release his martial way talent and strength that belong exclusively to him.

The battle to reach the summit of Martial Way Mountain—the Yan family clansmen also received the news. The Yan family also has clansmen who possess Martial Way Seals, but those living in this alley are all branches that are not valued by the Yan family. Only one or two possess Martial Way Seals. In order to watch the battle of the top hundred on Martial Way Mountain, the young clansmen who possess Martial Way Seals broadcast it, so that everyone can see it.

When a figure appeared on the battle plain on Martial Way Mountain, the scene was instantly filled with the sound of conversation.

"Lin Chen of the Canglan Sect has already won so many consecutive matches and is second on Martial Way Mountain. If he wins this match, he will truly reach the summit."

"One hundred thousand consecutive wins to reach the summit—I heard from an executive in the clan that this has already broken the record of Martial Way Mountain."

The words of these Yan family clansmen were filled with shock and envy.

"I really don't know how these people practice. We are still struggling for the middle grade, while others have already stepped into the Innate Realm."

"You can't compare. What is our background? We can't even enter the eyes of the main family in the Yan family, while others are key disciples cultivated by super sects. The martial way resources they can receive every month are comparable to what we get in several years."

"It's normal for other geniuses on Martial Way Mountain to have this strength, but I heard that Lin Chen joined the Canglan Sect not long ago. It is said that before Lin Chen joined the Canglan Sect, he came from a place where the Martial Way was barren."

"Really or fake?"

"Impossible. How could a martial artist from a place where the Martial Way is barren have the strength to reach the summit of Martial Way Mountain? This news is definitely fake."

"I also think it's fake. A young martial artist from a place where the Martial Way is barren can be mentioned in the same breath as the genius disciples cultivated by the major super sects of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao?"

"It's not just as simple as being mentioned in the same breath; he is steadily suppressing these geniuses. Now there is only Sima Kong left."

On the edge of the crowd, Murong Yan, wearing a veil, also smiled with her beautiful face, and Su Qin on the side whispered: "Miss, I didn't expect Young Master Lin to be so outstanding in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao."

In Su Qin's view, Lin Chen's reputation in the Nine Kingdoms was extremely loud, and he was already the number one person in the Nine Kingdoms.

But after arriving in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, there were many geniuses in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao. She thought Lin Chen would lose his halo and at most be a little famous in the Canglan Sect.

She didn't expect that in less than half a year, Lin Chen had actually made such a big name for himself in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, to the point that even these young people of the Yan family knew him.

At this moment, she really wanted to say that the news was indeed wrong; Lin Chen did not come from a place where the Martial Way was barren, but from a place where the Martial Way was desolate.

A region where not even an Innate martial artist exists is considered desolate. Only those with a few Innate martial artists are called barren.

"Hmm, he has always been this excellent."

Although Murong Yan was also very happy, she was not as excited as Su Qin. She had confidence in Lin Chen; even after coming to the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, he could still bloom with radiance.

"Miss, what if we tell the main family about you and Young Master Lin?"

"Do not mention this matter again."

Murong Yan interrupted Su Qin's words instantly. If the main family knew about her relationship with Lin Chen, she was afraid they would have designs on Lin Chen. She did not know what the Yan family's crisis was or how strong the hostile forces were.

But no matter how strong or weak the Yan family's opponents were, she would not drag Lin Chen into the water for the sake of the Yan family. The Yan family had no family affection for their branches, and she had no sense of belonging to the Yan family either.

Fortunately, after the Yan family elder changed his attitude toward her, he didn't even want to talk to her and didn't know which island in the Donghai Region she came from, so he wouldn't connect her with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's identity information would definitely be investigated clearly by major forces after the battle on Martial Way Mountain ended. If the Yan family knew she and Lin Chen came from the same island, they would definitely have some thoughts.

She should be thankful for the Yan family elder's impatience with her.

……

……

Martial Way Mountain plain battlefield.

After Lin Chen appeared, Sima Kong's figure also appeared on the plain.

Sima Kong stood with his hands behind his back, his long robes rustling, and his whole body exuded an aura of looking down on the world.

"Lin Chen, right? I heard you come from an overseas island in the Donghai Region. With your strength, being able to walk to this step is actually a bit surprising to me, but it stops here."

Sima Kong's words were flat, without mockery or arrogance, just as if he were stating an extremely ordinary fact.

"This person is so strong!"

Su Qin looked at Sima Kong on the light screen. Even through the light screen, she could feel the terror of Young Master Lin's opponent. The sweep of those eyes made her face turn pale.

Murong Yan did not respond, just stared tightly at the light screen. The ownership of the number one spot on Martial Way Mountain—Lin Chen's opponent must be very strong; if he weren't strong, he couldn't have sat firmly in the number one spot among all martial artists under the age of twenty in the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

Lin Chen felt the powerful aura released by Sima Kong but did not respond with words.

"It seems you still won't give up. Since that's the case, let me let you feel what a gap is."

Sima Kong saw Lin Chen's silence and just assumed Lin Chen was unwilling to give up. The next moment, he took a step forward, and his protective aura swept out like a storm, instantly causing a crack dozens of zhang deep to appear on the ground.

At the same time, twenty light spots shone around his body, which everyone could clearly see!

"He has condensed twenty Innate Crystals; this Sima Kong already has the strength of the late stage of the Qi-Transformation Realm."

All the martial artists who saw this scene had looks of shock on their faces.

Qianji Sect.

A bitter smile appeared on Ceng Xi's face. It seems that in his previous two challenges, Sima Kong hadn't used his full strength at all.
