You Must Return the Lives of the 500 Girls!_1 Yelü Yuan was stunned for a moment, could this guy really have guessed it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yelü Yuan’s expression, Zhang Zhongyan knew that he had guessed correctly and shouted, “This old bastard has tricked us!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did he tell you guys?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old bastard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi said coldly, “You secretly captured many young girls, played with them, and finally killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that a fact?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan said loudly, “Those girls were what that bastard Xu Xianxiang wanted, and since they were all going to die anyway, I just played with them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Explain clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Yelü Yuan paused his attack but still glared at Zhang Zhongyan intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan was no match for Yelü Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After only two punches, blood was already flowing from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly said, “I had asked Xu Xianxiang to refine a Magical Treasure before, and he gave me a condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted me to find 500 young girls, all with the pure Yin bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He taught me a method to absorb the blood of these girls and condense it into blood beads while simultaneously trapping their souls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s pupils contracted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path of refining people?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately thought of the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array and the Wanling Blood Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was Xu Xianxiang cultivating the Refining Path?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan continued, “I asked him what the blood beads made from the essence blood of the girls were for, and he said it was for Refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used some methods to gather 500 girls for him, and eventually, all of them turned into blood beads and were handed over to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He helped me refine the Magical Treasure, and our transaction was supposed to end there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But recently, he suddenly came to me and asked me to find even more blood beads, this time 5,000 of them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He said that as a reward, he could refine a powerful Magical Treasure for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I was tempted, I am, after all, the Deputy City Lord of Tianyuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this matter were to be exposed, it would affect me, so I refused him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I refused him and worried that he might cause trouble in the city himself, eventually implicating me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I asked him to leave Tianyuan City and threatened him that if he didn’t go, I would expose his secret.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This old bastard couldn’t threaten me, and fearing I would expose his real intentions, he sent you guys to kill me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You came to him to refine Magical Treasures or repair them, and then he gave you the condition to kill me, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, “What is Xu Xianxiang’s background?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan shook his head, “His background is quite mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although I am sure that he has a sect behind him, I don’t know which one it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is very cautious and never reveals anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen fell silent for two seconds before turning his gaze toward Yelü Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Ye Lü, I have nothing more to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s finish this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelü Yuan chuckled and attacked Zhang Zhongyan once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan shouted in despair, “I am willing to pay the price to atone for my life!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen calmly said, “You must pay for the lives of five hundred innocent girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Xu Xianxiang, if what you said is true, I will send him to accompany you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On what grounds!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan shouted in despair and unwillingness, “We are all cultivators, walking against the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do you get to decide my life and death?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelü Yuan punched Zhang Zhongyan, causing him to spit blood, and laughed, “It’s because he is the Human Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human Emperor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan suddenly became absent-minded, his eyes shocked as he looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan was no match for Yelü Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being so absent-minded in that moment, his body was blown away and badly injured by Yelü Yuan’s punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan’s Primordial Spirit flew out of his body, hit the light curtain, and was blocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yelü Yuan attacking again, he made up his mind and suddenly glowed brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you want to kill me, then let’s die together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Self-destruct!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyebrows twitched, and almost instinctively, the Emperor’s Seal flew out and trembled slightly in the air, emitting a clear sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan’s Primordial Spirit seemed to have been hit squarely in the head, momentarily losing focus and becoming suspended in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant of delay, Yelü Yuan’s fist heavily landed on Zhang Zhongyan’s Primordial Spirit, shattering it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan’s Primordial Spirit scattered, and his gaze fell on the Emperor’s Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last moment, his spirit returned, and his eyes were filled with despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Emperor’s Seal…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Zhongyan’s Primordial Spirit turned into a torrent of vigorous Spiritual energy, sweeping in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi put away the clay bowl, and the Spiritual energy quickly dispersed into Heaven and Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelü Yuan clapped his hands and smiled, “Done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi turned to Lin Chen, “Are you going to kill Xu Xianxiang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “If what Zhang Zhongyan said is true, then Xu Xianxiang might be cultivating the Ancient Evil Refining Path…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yi’s face changed slightly, “Refining Path?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, “Didn’t I say that I had killed an Early Stage of Void cultivator before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an Elder Taishang from an Alchemy Sect in Xixi State, and the Sect Master was his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They learned the Ancient Evil Array – Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array from a mysterious person and refined a city with 400,000 of my Nanyue Hengshan sect’s subordinates into a Wanling Blood Pearl.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I traced it to the Three Ghosts Gate and found that they were also luring many cultivators into their sect to refine them into blood beads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I destroyed the entire Three Ghosts Gate, but the identity of the mysterious man couldn’t be investigated…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1016,"2026-06-06T01:51:56.669Z",1,"novelbin.me","fe4561863bcc44bcd6f84164881feea7cb3b85880c9f3d48548287e40ee523de","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1049","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1047",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
