Make a move and kill.

"Hehe." Bai Ling sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Threaten you? You're not worthy!"

In an instant, a group of Bai Family guards flooded into the Shen Family's main hall. The leading guard was a True Monarch who had just entered the Early Nascent Soul Stage.

"Now, kneel on the ground and kowtow to me, then cripple your own spiritual roots, and perhaps I can spare your life," Bai Ling said coldly, his eyes filled with mockery.

"A mere fifth-grade Family dares to threaten me?" Chen Yuan smiled indifferently, disappearing from his spot in an instant.

Bai Ling's eyes narrowed. A cold gleam swept past him from behind. He was startled, and as he turned, a sharp sword was already at his throat.

Chen Yuan touched Bai Ling's Dantian with his right hand, instantly sealing it.

Everyone in the main hall was stunned, never expecting this person to be so audacious as to directly attack in front of a True Monarch.

Shen Heli was dumbfounded. This young man was so arrogant, actually saying he didn't care about a fifth-grade Family.

Shen Ling, behind Chen Yuan, had golden light in her eyes. He was so manly, full of a sense of security!

Bai Cairen's expression changed, because he hadn't seen how Chen Yuan had attacked at all.

Bai Ling was terrified, his soul nearly leaving his body. He felt a murderous intent, a materialized murderous intent emanating from Chen Yuan.

"Boy, a mere Golden Core sixth-stage dares to be presumptuous in front of me? Do you know that your actions are no different from seeking death?"

With that, a trace of Divine Sense erupted from Bai Cairen's mind and plunged into Chen Yuan's mind.

A moment later, Chen Yuan remained composed, his eyes playful, looking at Bai Cairen.

"How is this possible?!" Bai Cairen stood up from his seat in shock.

This Golden Core brat in front of him could actually break his Divine Sense!

Could it be that he possessed some soul-protecting treasure?

A hint of greed flashed in his heart, but he concealed it well on his face. He said calmly:

"You have some skill, but a Golden Core will always be a Golden Core. In front of me, you're not even an ant. Release my son, and hand over your soul-protecting treasure, and I can let you leave."

As his words fell, Nascent Soul pressure surged towards Chen Yuan like a tide.

Chen Yuan remained unmoving, smiling indifferently. The true meaning of his fist condensed in his palm, and he punched Bai Ling's life root.

"Boom!" Blood splattered, drenching Bai Ling's thigh, and then the excruciating pain swept through his entire body like a tidal wave.

"Ahhh! My little brother! Boy... I'll kill you!" Bai Ling's heart-wrenching roar escaped his lips.

"Boy, you're seeking death!" Bai Cairen completely erupted in rage. In a thought, he appeared above Chen Yuan's head and slammed a palm towards his crown.

Chen Yuan kicked out, sending Bai Ling flying.

The heavenly feather zither landed in his hand and was raised to block!

"Clang!"

Ripples spread from the impact point, shattering the tables and chairs in the main hall into splinters, which flew everywhere, carried by the strong wind!

The others quickly raised their protective barriers to resist the aftershock of the impact.

If not for the Formation beneath the ground, the entire main hall would have been shattered into dust by this aftershock.

"Your son said he would cripple my life root; I merely returned the favor!"

"Arrogant! To cripple my son's life root right in front of this True Monarch, today I will have your life." Bai Cairen's eyes were bloodshot. Due to a mishap in his early Cultivation, he was unable to have relations.

He only had this one son. Being crippled meant that his bloodline would end, which no one could tolerate.

Treading Snow Without a Trace activated, and Chen Yuan instantly appeared behind Bai Cairen. The nine-inch Golden Core within him circulated, Grandmist power condensed in his hands, and he slammed the heavenly feather zither down with force.

The heavenly feather zither was enveloped in a dazzling divine rainbow, its body trembling as if it were a spiritual object.

"Boom!"

The heavenly feather zither heavily smashed onto the back of Bai Cairen's head.

Bai Cairen's vision went black, his head instantly exploded, brain matter mixed with blood splattered, and his corpse heavily crashed to the ground.

Shen Heli was stunned. How could a Golden Core erupt with such astonishing speed?

Chen Yuan sighed. The Early Nascent Soul Stage was too weak; he couldn't even withstand a single blow from him. That Wang Hongqing at least managed to exchange two moves with him.

"So powerful." Shen Ling's eyes flashed with golden light. Even after seeing Chen Yuan act once, she was still amazed a second time.

Chen Yuan landed on the ground and absorbed Bai Cairen's storage ring into his hand. Inside were two Spirit Rank Flying Swords, one Spirit Rank Cultivation Technique, two four-tier High Grade Destruction Talismans, and a total of 500 High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Bai Ling had already fainted from fright. Chen Yuan used a Water Ball technique with his right hand to splash him awake.

Upon waking, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me. My Revered Master is a Half-Step Soul Transformation Great Cultivator, I am an ancient immortal..."

Chen Yuan didn't want to listen to his nonsense. He punched out, and a giant flaming Dragon engulfed Bai Ling.

"Boom!"

Bai Ling, dead!

Again, his head exploded, and his corpse fell to the ground.

Chen Yuan absorbed his storage ring into his hand. Inside were 20 High-Grade Spirit Stones and a Spirit Rank Flying Sword.

The surrounding guards continuously swallowed their saliva, not daring to breathe loudly.

The leading guard knelt on the ground, "I am Zheng Qi, and I am willing to submit."

The others followed suit.

Chen Yuan sneered disdainfully, "Are you worthy?" With that, he punched out, instantly blasting Zheng Qi into a mist of blood.

"I won't kill the rest of you. Hand over your storage rings, and I will spare your lives." Chen Yuan's expression was cold as he scanned the crowd.

The guards dared not disobey and successively handed over their weapons and Storage Pouches.

Chen Yuan tallied them: a total of seven Yellow Rank weapons. Zheng Qi's weapon was the best, Profound Rank High Grade, while the rest were Low Grade.

There were only 15,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones in total.

Zheng Qi himself only had over 10,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. It was about right; having just entered the Nascent Soul Stage, his resources were likely all spent on his Breakthrough.

"All of you, scram!" Chen Yuan said indifferently. Immediately, those guards fled out of the main hall, looking as if they hated their parents for only giving them two legs.

Shen Heli swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his body trembling violently.

"Se-Senior, regarding your matter with my daughter, I... I don't object. I just ask that you be merciful and spare my Shen Family."

"Hmph! Father, now you know how amazing Brother Chen Yuan is, right? To tell you the truth, Brother Chen Yuan is a Personal Disciple from the Xuantian Sect, a first-grade Sect in the Great Thousand Domain."

Shen Ling said proudly.

"What? A... a first-grade Sect." Shen Heli was dumbfounded, then his heart instantly filled with excitement and thrill. His good daughter found a Personal Disciple from a first-grade Sect to be her Dao Companion! Heavens! His ancestors had manifested, they had manifested!

"Oh dear! Son-in-law, you should have told me earlier that you were from a first-grade Sect. Look, my etiquette has been lacking; please don't take offense!" Shen Heli's face was full of fawning and flattery, his quick change of expression leaving Shen Ling overwhelmed.

"Oh? Are you saying it's my problem?" Chen Yuan swept his cold gaze over him.

"Not at all, not at all!" Shen Heli slapped his own mouth, cold sweat pouring down. "Look at my mouth, I don't know how to speak!"

Chen Yuan didn't continue to scare him. He took out a list. "These are the Spirit Stones your daughter owes me, and considering your previous disrespectful words, I'll give you a discount. It's ten High-Grade Spirit Stones in total."

"Ah!"

Ten High-Grade Spirit Stones, wasn't that a hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones?

Shen Heli was dumbfounded. You're becoming Dao Companions with my daughter, and you're still calculating so precisely?

Shen Ling stuck out her pink tongue from the side, looking innocent.

"Here, I'll give it right away!"

Shen Heli immediately ordered the butler to retrieve them. Not to mention a hundred thousand Low Grade, he would even grit his teeth and give five hundred thousand Low Grade, as long as his daughter remained a Dao Companion with him. That amount of money was nothing.
