At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

Zhao Xuanyuan covered his abdomen, stared at Lin Chen with resentment, and said, "Okay! I fell on you today, and you win! But you won't live long, and you can't bear the Zhao family's revenge!"

As he spoke, a look of madness appeared on his face.

Lin Chen's eyes condensed, he took a step forward, and the next second he appeared next to Zhao Xuanyuan, a big foot stepped on his shoulder, pressed him down, and shouted coldly: "What did you say?"

"Ah! Our Zhao family is a cultivator at the level of Martial Lord. If you kill me, Tianluo Palace will not let you go!" Zhao Xuanyuan's face was twisted in pain, and he gritted his teeth.

Lin Chen's eyes were cold, he put force on his feet, and said in a cold voice: "You people from the Zhao family won't let me go? Hehe, do you think I will believe it? I'll kill you first!"

Bang!

With a crisp sound, Zhao Xuanyuan's head was forced into the stone slab by him.

Lin Chen looked at the blood flowing out of Zhao Xuanyuan's neck and sighed: "Actually, you don't have to beg for mercy. As long as you obey, I won't kill you. After all, we are neighbors, and we may still be friends in the future. What a pity... You are so stupid."

He himself felt that what he said was quite stupid.

Although his mentality has improved a lot after meeting Ye Qingcheng, the world is still full of ugly things, and the so-called friends are just hypocritical lies.

"Zhao Xuanyuan is dead!"

Two figures stood by the window of a guest room in the hotel.

One of the girls is none other than An Xueyao.

When she saw Zhao Xuanyuan suddenly rushing out and seemingly being killed by Lin Chen, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She knew that Zhao Xuanyuan was very strong, even a little stronger than herself, but this man killed Zhao Xuanyuan in just a few moves. So, wouldn't his strength be more than twice that of Zhao Xuanyuan?

Moreover, his age is less than twenty years old!

How can this be!

"This man is dangerous, you can't get close to him!"

The man next to the girl said with a serious face.

"Well, I know. I won't approach him rashly. I just want to see what he is going to do."

An Xueyao's face was serious, and her eyes were full of admiration and curiosity.

"He actually wants to take action!"

An Xueyao and the man beside her were both surprised, and then An Xueyao said anxiously: "Brother, stop him quickly, don't let him die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Lin Chen disappearing from the stairs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

She was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"This world is really strange. Is this the so-called peerless strong man?"

An Xueyao murmured, her eyes full of awe.

…

Zhao Xuanyuan's home was not far from the hotel. It only took Lin Chen about five minutes to arrive at the door of Zhao Xuanyuan's home.

"This Zhao Xuanyuan is really unlucky!"

Lin Chen looked at the door sign with the word "Zhao Mansion" written on it and shook his head.

Boom, boom, boom!

I knocked on the door, and soon, a middle-aged man in his forties with a beard came over and opened the door.

"who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man with a beard asked politely with a smile on his face.

"Which room does Zhao Xuanyuan live in?" Lin Chen asked directly.

He was originally planning to kill Zhao Xuanyuan directly, but after hearing the other party's name, he changed his mind.

"Hey, this little handsome guy, you just don't know how to show mercy. Why are you so rude, even ignoring me, my sister?"

As Lin Chen walked towards the general area, a girl's teasing voice came from behind.

Lin Chen stopped and turned around to look.

Not far behind him, he saw a stunning woman standing.

This woman wears exquisite makeup, her skin is frayed, she has a pretty oval face, and her legs are straight and slender.

At this moment, she was tilting her head and looking at Lin Chen with a lazy and charming look.

An Xueyao hesitated for a moment when she saw this, and finally chose to remain silent, but her eyes towards Lin Chen were filled with disgust.

In her heart, Lin Chen was no different from those heartless gangsters, but Lin Chen's behavior was more like a dog.

Lin Chen laughed, with an evil smile.

"Since you don't want to speak, then I will speak for you." Lin Chen stared at An Xueyao and said, "I have a bad temper and like to use my fists. If you don't cooperate with me tonight, I won't Mind beating you up, or..."

When he said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp.

Feeling the biting murderous intent in his body, An Xueyao's heart beat violently, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back, feeling a little scared.

"Don't mess around!" An Xueyao warned.

"hehe!"

Lin Chen smiled jokingly, "Of course I won't mess around. Otherwise, I would have pressed you against the wall long ago and made you shout 'no'. However, I can't guarantee whether you will mess around later."

An Xueyao's face turned red when she heard this, and she said angrily: "You stinky gangster, what do you want to do?"

"Aren't you unwilling to speak? Then I will force you to speak!" Lin Chen snorted coldly, stretched out his right palm and grabbed An Xueyao's neck.

"Uh...ahem..."

An Xueyao was so frightened that her body trembled and she had difficulty breathing. She struggled to get rid of Lin Chen's restraints, but she couldn't break free at all.

This scene fell into the eyes of a group of people passing by Zhao Xuanyuan's house, and they all looked shocked.

Everyone present basically knows An Xueyao's identity. Although they are not afraid of her, everyone respects her on weekdays.

After all, the An family's financial resources and influence are really terrifying!

But now, Lin Chen single-handedly ran over and grabbed her neck, which made the rest of the people's heads buzz.

"Asshole! Let her go!"

At this time, the man in the other room seemed to hear the noise outside and roared angrily.

An Xueyao rolled her eyes after being pinched, and shouted with difficulty: "No! Please, don't hurt him!"

Lin Chen released his right arm that was holding An Xueyao's throat, looked at her with a smile, and said, "If you don't want to speak, then I will do it for you. I'll ask the questions, and you'll answer them, okay?"

"Okay... okay!" An Xueyao nodded hurriedly.

Lin Chen said: "Why did Zhao Xuanyuan come here to kill Zhao Xuanyuan and steal things?"

He had previously searched for information about this matter from Zhao Xuanyuan's memory and knew that he was here for some kind of secret book.

This secret book was of great use to him, so he took the risk to sneak into this building.

He secretly thought: It seems that Zhao Xuanyuan, an ordinary person in the secular world, also knows how valuable this martial skill is to him.

An Xueyao said: "I don't know the specific situation. According to my father, he went to the hospital for a physical checkup last night and found out that he had lung cancer!"

"After my father got sick, he immediately went to my grandfather and uncle to discuss treatment options. Unfortunately, my grandfather and the others said that this was a terminal illness and could not be cured at all. The only way to have hope is to find the secret book and use it to practice martial arts!"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "Is that secret book with your grandfather?"

"Yes." An Xueyao nodded.

"Okay! Take me to see your grandfather, and I'll talk to him." Lin Chen said in an excited tone. It was really effortless to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere.

A bitter smile appeared on An Xueyao's face and said: "This..."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Chen frowned, he noticed something was wrong, there was something wrong with An Xueyao's attitude.

An Xueyao hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "That secret book was kept by my grandma, and she is not at home now!"

"Then where are your grandfather and uncle?"

"I don't know either."

"..."

Lin Chen was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, you don't even know the whereabouts of your family, and you also said that you want to help me contact Zhao Xuanyuan!

Lin Chen thought for a while and said: "Okay, then you first tell me that the secret book is at your grandma's place, and then I will go with you to find your grandpa and uncle."

An Xueyao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"

Soon, An Xueyao led Lin Chen into the house and arrived at a bedroom.

At this time, An Xueyao pulled off a curtain on the bed.

There was a crash.

A painting was displayed in front of Lin Chen.

The painting is a landscape painting with beautiful scenery. There is a woman with a graceful back in the painting, walking slowly towards the distance.

"Who is this woman?"

Lin Chen pointed at the woman and asked.

An Xueyao explained: "This is a portrait of my mother. When I was a child, she would come here to paint every spring, summer, autumn and winter. This painting shows her walking in the mountains."

After An Xueyao finished speaking, she sighed and continued: "My father, grandfather, and uncles all doted on me. But ever since they learned about the death of my mother, they have ignored me."

After saying that, she raised her head, her eyes were red, and she looked at Lin Chen and said, "Can you help me? I really don't know what to do. I don't want to leave Zhao Xuanyuan, I like him, but I don't know what to do." Afraid that he will do something bad. Can you save him?"

An Xueyao had a pleading look on her face at this time, and when she looked at Lin Chen, her eyes were filled with tears, which was so touching.

Any man who sees her can't help but feel pity and wish to sacrifice his life for her. Even Lin Chen almost lost his position.

Lin Chen suppressed the charming thoughts in his heart and said indifferently: "You just said that the secret book was taken back by him? Where did he escape with the secret book?"

"Near...near the All Saints Sect!"

An Xueyao said hurriedly: "He should be hiding in a hidden location around the Wan Sheng Sect, waiting for an opportunity to seize the secret book."

"All Saints Sect?" Lin Chen was stunned.

"Yes! He is in the All Saints Sect now!" An Xueyao said.

She originally thought that Lin Chen would leave immediately, but Lin Chen was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

She was a little panicked and said: "Lin Chen, I beg you! Just leave!"

"Don't worry, I'm here to find you. Since I met you, I will definitely help you." Lin Chen patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile.

…

All Saints Sect, in a room.

Zhao Xuanyuan's face was full of ferocity, and he shouted crazily: "I want to become more powerful! I want to become even more powerful than that Lin Chen!"

In front of him, stood a middle-aged man in his fifties, his name was Li Changhe, and he was also a worshiper of the Zhao family.

At this time, he took out a dark elixir and handed it to Zhao Xuanyuan.

"What is this?" Zhao Xuanyuan asked suspiciously.

"Qi Gathering Pill!" Li Changhe said with an excited smile on his face, "According to rumors, this pill is a pill developed by the 'Blood Evil Sect'. After taking this pill, you can It will increase the limit of the human body within the body, causing the martial arts realm to skyrocket. However, after taking this Qi Gathering Pill, it will allow you to reach the realm of the third heaven in a short period of time!

, but it will put a huge load on the body and even cause death! Are you sure you want to use it? "

"I'm going to use this to take revenge!"

Zhao Xuanyuan gritted his teeth and said.

Li Changhe nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"You want to feed me yourself?" Zhao Xuanyuan's face showed joy.

Li Changhe nodded, and then stuffed the Qi Gathering Pill into Zhao Xuanyuan's mouth.

Zhao Xuanyuan's throat rolled, and the Qi Gathering Pill was instantly dissolved.

Boom!

At the same time, a thunderous sound came from Zhao Xuanyuan's body, as if there was a lightning snake wandering in his body.

After a moment, Zhao Xuanyuan's face showed pain, and the veins on his forehead bulged, as if he was suffering from great pain.

Li Changhe was frightened by this and his face changed drastically. He hurriedly shouted: "Master, are you okay?"

He wanted to go up and support Zhao Xuanyuan, but Zhao Xuanyuan shouted fiercely: "Back off!"

As his voice fell, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

Li Changhe seemed to have entered another world, and the surrounding scenery was twisting and rotating, making him feel like he was dreaming.

"Master, how are you?" Li Changhe asked anxiously.
