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

Empress Jiuxuan smiled bitterly and said: "This poison is called 'Soul-eating and Life-Destroying Gu'. It is a unique secret recipe of Ten Thousand Poison Palace. Ordinary alchemists and weapon refiners cannot refine the antidote at all."

"Soul-eating and life-eating Gu?" Lin Chen frowned and said, "The name sounds like it's a kind of Gu."

He had never heard of this kind of poisonous insect, but since there was one in the Ten Thousand Poison Palace, there must be an antidote to it.

"That's right." Empress Jiuxuan nodded.

Immediately, she looked at Lin Chen and said, "Do you also know people from Ten Thousand Poison Palace?"

"I don't know." Lin Chen shook his head.

He didn't want to lie to Empress Jiuxuan, after all, the two of them hadn't reached that point yet. However, if Empress Jiuxuan knew that she had enmity with the people in Ten Thousand Poison Palace, then she might not remind him, so as not to get into trouble.

"Oh? That's weird."

Empress Jiuxuan asked in confusion: "Since you don't know the people in Ten Thousand Poison Palace, how did you get poisoned?"

Lin Chen said: "I was tricked by someone last night. I suspect that this matter has something to do with Yunxiao Wufu!"

Empress Jiuxuan frowned, "Yunxiao Wufu? What does this matter have to do with them?"

"I haven't figured out who did it specifically. But what is certain is that the person they targeted was me, or at least they wanted to get rid of me." Lin Chen said.

Empress Jiuxuan's face became a little angry, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yunxiao Wufu, you are so brave! The people on my side have just left, and they dare to take action!"

"What are you going to do?" Empress Jiuxuan looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen said calmly: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. I really want to try and see how powerful these so-called top sects are."

Empress Jiuxuan was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you need any help, just tell me."

Then, she changed the subject and said: "Lin Chen, I have already told you that my father sent an envoy to Tianyuan City. When I ascend the throne as emperor, he will announce your achievements, make you Xiaoyaohou, and grant you Marry me. By then, the entire Eastern River Valley will be at your feet."

"Hou Xiaoyao?" The corners of Lin Chen's mouth raised, and a hint of teasing flashed across his eyes.

In his opinion, Xiaoyaohou's title is nothing more than an empty shell.

"Yes. Although Xiaoyao Hou's power is not as good as that of my imperial uncle, it is not far behind. Moreover, my father's intention is to let me control the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion with you, as a way to help you." Jiuxuan The empress nodded.

"I don't care." Lin Chen shook his head.

"you!"

Empress Jiuxuan stared. She really didn't expect that Lin Chen actually refused.

As a result, Lin Chen actually said he was not surprised? This made her feel insulted and angry.

When Lin Chen saw her angry, he smiled instead and said, "I mean, I don't care about being such a bullshit Xiaoyao Hou. If I really wanted to be one, I would have done it myself."

He was telling the truth. He was not greedy for power. Otherwise, he would have built his own dynasty long ago.

"..." Empress Jiuxuan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Lin Chen to say such words. This man's character is really unique.

"Brother Lin Chen, what are you going to do?" Xiao Wu blinked her bright eyes and asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet." Lin Chen shook his head. After finishing speaking, he suddenly said: "But don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you."

After saying that, Lin Chen looked at Empress Jiuxuan and said, "I want to enter the Wanxiang Tower to practice. I hope you will allow me."

The Vientiane Tower is a treasured place on Tianyuan Star. It is said that it contains infinite mysteries. Lin Chen decided to take the opportunity to enter the Vientiane Tower to practice and strive to break through to the foundation-building realm as soon as possible.

"Enter the Vientiane Tower to practice?" Empress Jiuxuan was stunned, then frowned and said: "Lin Chen, you don't know, the Vientiane Tower opens every hundred years, the concentration of spiritual energy inside is extremely low, and there are various magic array traps inside , ordinary people will definitely die if they enter."

She paused and said in a sincere tone: "Although I really want you to stay here, I advise you not to take risks. Your talent is indeed amazing, but no matter how fast you are, it can't compare to the ravages of time. You are now If you go in, you will probably die of old age and exhaustion of your lifespan before you have practiced for long!”

She was not cursing Lin Chen, but really wanted to dissuade him.

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." Lin Chen insisted.

"You—" Empress Jiuxuan saw that Lin Chen was determined to enter the Vientiane Tower, but she did not want to force him.

She glanced at Xiao Wu standing next to her and said, "Is this girl your sister?"

"Yes." Lin Chen nodded.

Empress Jiuxuan nodded and said: "Her soul quality is good and her talent is very high. If she is well cultivated, her future achievements will be extremely high. Unfortunately, her identity is destined to miss the peak of martial arts. If one day, she encounters any difficulties, You can take her to me and I will try my best to help her.”

Lin Chen thanked her and then left with Xiao Wu, leaving only Empress Jiuxuan sitting at the table.

"Sister, why didn't you stop him? Have you forgotten that he is your husband!" Xiao Wu looked at Empress Jiuxuan and asked doubtfully.

Empress Jiuxuan sighed and explained: "This guy is as stubborn as a cow. The more I disagree, the more he wants to go in, and even threatens me. If he is not allowed to enter the Vientiane Tower, he will never Ignore me. What can I do?"

"Hmph! This guy is so domineering."

After hearing Empress Jiuxuan's explanation, Xiao Wu curled her lips, but soon smiled again: "Hehe! Fortunately, sister, you are also stubborn!"

Empress Jiuxuan rubbed Xiao Wu's head and said dotingly: "You don't even look at how old you are, you still act like a child."

…

Tianyun Tower.

"Sir, you are finally here!"

When Lin Chen walked into Tianyun Building, the waiter who greeted the guests ran over with a flattering face and asked with a smile: "What do you want to eat? I will arrange it for you."

"I want to go in and pick out a 'Sacred Mysterious Pill'." Lin Chen said.

"Wait a moment!" The waiter nodded and bowed respectfully, "Wait a moment, I will take you to the third floor."

After speaking, he led Lin Chen towards the third floor.

At this time, Lin Chen's ears moved slightly and he heard some comments.

"Have you heard? Qin Guangde, who caused trouble in Yunwu Villa some time ago and was injured by Yunwu Villa, came back yesterday. It is said that he brought back many masters."

"Qin Guangde? I know who he is. It is said that he is backed by a super strong man in the early stage of Tongtian Realm!"

"What? Even the strong men from the early stage of the Heaven-Connecting Realm have been invited?"

"That's not true. After all, his grandfather Qin Haoqian is a strong man in the early stage of Tongtian Realm!"

"Tsk, tsk, you are worthy of being a direct disciple of the Qin family, you are indeed amazing!"

"Hehe! I heard that guy threatened to take revenge, but it's a pity that he lost everything! His arm is still hanging!"

…

Lin Chen turned around and looked at the two people who had just spoken, and saw two strong men in black walking up the stairs.

The two men have strong bodies and bulging muscles, making them look powerful.

"The auras on these two guys are terrifying, not simple!"

Lin Chen was shocked. The strength of these two people has reached at least the early stage of Tongtian Realm. In other words, they are both existences of the fourth and fifth turns of the gods.

These two people were obviously no ordinary guests.

And it seems that he is here for Empress Jiuxuan.

Empress Jiuxuan's face turned cold when she saw the two strong men.

These two people were sent by the Qin family, and Qin Guangde was from the Qin family. How could she not know them.

She looked at the two strong men, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said indifferently: "What are you two doing in Tianyun Tower?"

"We are here to propose marriage to His Majesty on the orders of the head of the family!"

One of the two strong men glanced at Lin Chen and Xiao Wu and sneered.

"Qin Guangde wants to marry you, sister?" Xiao Wu said angrily after hearing this.

"Nonsense, I don't know him at all, what kind of marriage proposal! Get out!" Empress Jiuxuan shouted coldly, and directly issued an order to expel the guest.

The two strong men didn't seem to hear her words and still blocked the door.

One of them looked at Lin Chen and said jokingly: "Boy, we are ordered by the head of the Qin family to ask Empress Jiuxuan to marry Qin Guangde as our concubine. If you want to survive, get out of here immediately! Otherwise, don't blame our men for not being able to do so." Show mercy!”

Although they were afraid of Empress Jiuxuan, they did not take a weak person who was in the Great Perfection of Dan Formation Realm in their eyes.

"What if I say no?" Lin Chen said lightly.

The expressions of the two strong men instantly turned ferocious, and one of them cursed: "Damn it, boy, who are you to interfere in our Qin family's business? Do you believe we will break your legs?"

Another person also scolded: "You don't know how to praise!"

Boom!

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Although he promised the old marquis to help the Jiuxuan Emperor Palace, he was only limited to protecting the Jiuxuan Emperor Palace. He was not a real slave of the Jiuxuan Emperor Palace, and it was only for the sake of Empress Jiuxuan.

He doesn't want to cause trouble, but he is definitely not afraid of trouble.

Since these guys were so rampant, he wanted to test what kind of trump card the Qin family had, and why Qin Guangde was so proud that he dared to let people from the family come here to steal the marriage.

Bang bang!

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound.

Lin Chen turned around and saw that the two guards of the Qin family had flown out and hit the ground hard, spitting out a few mouthfuls of blood.

"You, you dare to hurt us?" A guard exclaimed, holding his stomach and pointing at Lin Chen.

"I advise you to kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy, otherwise, our Qin family will definitely let you die without a burial place!" Another guard said fiercely.

Empress Jiuxuan frowned and looked at Lin Chen.

“我确实要揍他们一顿，因为他们侮辱了我的爱人，这件事情，必须得解决掉！”

Lin Chen said calmly, "If they come to harass you again, I won't mind killing them!"

"you!"

A blush appeared on the face of Empress Jiuxuan. She felt Lin Chen's protection for her, and her heart felt warm. The corners of her mouth curved sweetly, and she nodded towards Lin Chen, indicating that he was free to do so.

Lin Chen turned around and walked towards the two people from the Qin family.

"You bastard! You're looking for death!"

The two strong men were furious. One of them took out a long sword and stabbed Lin Chen.

Although this person is in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, he has practiced "Broken Mountain Fist" and his boxing skills are fierce and domineering.

Lin Chen moved his steps, and his figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.

When he appeared in the next second, he was already standing next to this person. He grabbed the opponent's left arm holding the long sword with his right hand, and suddenly folded it with a crisp click.

puff!

Blood splattered and the sound of broken bones reached everyone's ears.

The man howled miserably and fell to his knees, wailing in pain.

"ah!"

The guard on the other side turned pale with fright and was stunned.

This scene happened very quickly. By the time he reacted, the man's right arm had been twisted into a deformity. The whole arm was limp and drooped down. The pain made his face twitch, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his eyes were red.

"Boy, I want you to die!"

The other man was furious. A short dagger as black as ink appeared in his hand. His figure flashed and slashed towards Lin Chen's throat. The speed was so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, he was close to Lin Chen.

"Don't overestimate your ability." Lin Chen shook his head, and his figure flashed, and he dodged the opponent's attack. At the same time, he slapped the opponent's chest with a palm. The latter flew backwards and hit the wall. He spit out a large mouthful of blood and his face was depressed.

He looked at the Nine Mysterious Queen and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are frightened."

"Yes."

The Nine Mysterious Queen nodded, and then stared at the other person coldly.

"Damn it! You... who are you?"

The remaining guards looked defeated. At this moment, they looked at Lin Chen and the Nine Mysterious Empress as if they were looking at two evil ghosts. They didn't expect that this young man was so terrifying.

"Hmph! You don't even know the name of our master, and you are qualified to pursue the Empress?" Lin Chen sneered, and then said to the Nine Mysterious Empress: "Your Majesty, will you continue to wait here, or leave with me?"

"Let's leave. I don't bother to care about that kind of guy." The Nine Mysterious Empress said.

"Okay, you follow me." Lin Chen nodded and left with the Nine Mysterious Empress, leaving only two corpses.

The Nine Mysterious Empress looked at Lin Chen's background, showing a bit of intoxication, and murmured: "This man, I will definitely kill him!"

She really fell in love with Lin Chen, and Lin Chen really liked her.

Otherwise, Lin Chen would not have held back his anger and killed the two guards directly.

The two left the courtyard gate, and soon, a carriage appeared and stopped in front of them.

Lin Chen took the Nine Mysterious Empress to the carriage, and then the carriage started slowly.

"Hey, why does this carriage look a bit like my father's carriage?"

The Nine Mysterious Empress lifted the curtain and saw the carved patterns on the carriage clearly, and she was a little confused.

"Yes. This carriage is the current emperor of the Shengwu Empire's carriage." Lin Chen said.

"Why did my father's mount come here?"

The Nine Mysterious Empress frowned.

"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Lin Chen asked.

The Nine Mysterious Empress briefly explained to Lin Chen that it turned out that the Nine Mysterious Empress was sent by the Emperor of the Shengwu Empire to replace the Nine Mysterious Emperor's Concubine, guard the Emperor City of the Nine Mysterious Empire, and suppress the Lingxiao Palace.

The Emperor of the Shengwu Empire is a super strong man in the Yuantai Realm, named Qin Haoyu, and a great leader.

"So that's it!" Lin Chen suddenly realized, and then he was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that his wife was so powerful here.

"By the way, how did you recognize me?"

The Queen of Nine Mysteries suddenly thought of this. As far as she could remember, this was the first time Lin Chen had seen her.

"I've been in the imperial capital for a while, so I know what your Majesty looks like." Lin Chen said.

Hearing this answer, the Queen of Nine Mysteries was stunned for a moment, and then she felt a little happy in her heart. She knew that Lin Chen was not perfunctory, and what he said was indeed the truth.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "However, your Majesty, you have changed a lot, I almost didn't recognize you."
