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

Nine Mysterious Empress landed on a flat stone, exhaled, and showed a look of relief on her pretty face. She was really afraid that Lin Chen would attack her just now.

Although she was also at the peak of Tongyou Realm, she didn't dare to confirm whether Lin Chen was in the late Tongyou Realm.

Not only Lin Chen, but even the black broken sword behind Lin Chen, she felt a terrifying sword intent, as if it would chop down at any time, giving people a creepy feeling.

Lin Chen's strength was definitely stronger than hers.

She even felt that even if Lin Chen didn't use the broken sword, she was not his opponent.

She really couldn't figure out why a person like Lin Chen would be willing to participate in the Xuanming Cold Pond Trial?

Moreover, Lin Chen's speed was also terrifying!

"By the way, which county are you from? Why have I never seen you before?"

Lin Chen asked about the identity of the Nine Mysterious Empress. After all, he always felt that this person seemed to be coming for him.

Moreover, this person also helped him, and he was not an ungrateful person, so he wanted to find out her identity.

"I am a member of the Tianfeng County King's family. My last name is Ye and my name is Linglong." The Nine Mysterious Empress said.

Tianfeng County?

A picture appeared in Lin Chen's mind. In a valley, Ye Yiren, the Princess of Tianfeng County, Wang Bashan, the head of the Tianfeng County King's family, and others gathered here. They seemed to be discussing something.

"Were you invited by Wang Bashan?" Lin Chen asked again.

"No. My father sent someone to tell me to come and help." The Nine Mysterious Empress shook her head.

She wondered why Lin Chen knew about this.

"Oh."

Lin Chen nodded, and he was sure in his heart that the Nine Mysterious Empress must have come for the Ice Soul Jade Marrow.

"What about you? Where are you from? Why are you in such a place?" The Nine Mysterious Empress said.

"I am from Xiaoyao City." Lin Chen said.

"So you are from Xiaoyao City! Then you have to hurry up. This Xuanming Cold Pond has only one chance to open a year. If you miss it, you will never be able to enter again!" The Nine Mysterious Empress reminded.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."

The Nine Mysterious Empress couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lin Chen when she heard this, and said, "You are confident!"

"Haha!" Lin Chen laughed awkwardly, "Don't you have any confidence in yourself?"

The Nine Mysterious Empress said calmly, "I am somewhat confident, but I also hope that you will not miss this opportunity because of your confidence. Once you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again."

After that, the Nine Mysterious Empress looked at Lin Chen again and said, "How did you get into the Xuanming Cold Pond? As far as I know, the Xuanming Cold Pond is surrounded by arrays and prohibitions. If you enter the early stage of the Sainthood, you basically have no life!"

Lin Chen touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "In fact, I am also a formation master. I got in by breaking an eighth-grade trapped formation."

"Eighth-grade trapped formation? Then you should be a sixth-grade formation master, or a third-grade formation master, right?"

The Nine Mysterious Empress was startled, and then suddenly realized, muttering in her heart: No wonder this guy, at such a young age, has reached the Tongyou realm.

She thought of the followers around Lin Chen. Except for herself and Leng Dongliu, the rest were all above the eighth level of the extraordinary world.

"You are still a young master." The corner of the Nine Mysterious Queen's mouth curled up, and she said teasingly, "However, you are so young, and you have become a strong man in the Tongyou Realm, which is quite good. But don't be proud. In Shengzhou, there are more than one cultivator in the Tongyou Realm!"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice."

He could see that the Nine Mysterious Queen had a very straightforward personality, unlike other girls who were delicate and artificial.

Hearing Lin Chen's praise, the Nine Mysterious Queen was a little happy and said, "Which county are you from?"

"My name is Lin Chen, and I am the young master of the Tianyan County Magistrate's Mansion." Lin Chen answered truthfully, wondering why she suddenly asked him such a question.

"Tianyan County Magistrate's Mansion?"

The Nine Mysterious Queen's face changed slightly when she heard the words, and she looked at Lin Chen in surprise, with a complicated look in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Chen asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." The Nine Mysterious Empress shook her head, then frowned and said, "Since you are from the County Magistrate's Office, why did you come here? This place is not suitable for you."

Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way. Our young master was harmed by a traitor and lost his soul. He needs Bingpo Yusui to treat him, so I had to take the risk and come here to try my luck."

"Lost soul? What do you mean?" The Nine Mysterious Empress frowned.

She was a smart woman. After connecting with Lin Chen's words, she guessed that Lin Chen might have encountered some difficulties.

Lin Chen sighed and briefly told the Nine Mysterious Empress what he had encountered.

"What! There is such a thing!" The Nine Mysterious Empress had an angry look on her face.

"Alas. I don't know what materials to find to make pills to save people. Now, I can only try my luck and hope to gain something in the Xuanming Cold Pond." Lin Chen said helplessly.

He did want to find materials to refine pills for Lin Qizhi and let her injuries heal as soon as possible, but he didn't dare to hold too much hope.

"You are so stupid, why don't you take such a good thing? Leave it, anyway, your family will be handed over to you in the future, why do you want to go far away?"

The Nine Mysterious Queen looked at Lin Chen, looking like she was disappointed with him. She obviously didn't understand why Lin Chen wanted to hand over the treasure in the Xuanming Cold Pond.

Lin Chen said bitterly: "My old man said that this Ice Soul Chalcedony is the most precious treasure of our Tianwu Dynasty. It cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. It must be kept by me, the prince, for safekeeping without any loss."

After hearing this, Empress Jiuxuan was stunned for a moment, and then her face showed a bit of envy. She was also a descendant of the royal family, but because her mother was not favored, she had no status in the royal family.

Although her grandfather was a member of the royal family whose status was second only to the ancestors of the royal family, she was a concubine.

Her father was a playboy who was waiting for death. He had bullied her since she was a child and even wanted her to sleep with him.

Growing up in this kind of family atmosphere, she had no feelings for the royal family, and even felt a little disgusted with it.

She said to Lin Chen: "How about I help you get the ice chalcedony?"

"This... is not good. After all, it belongs to your royal family. How can I ask for it?"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

Empress Jiuxuan said: "My father doesn't know about this, and you can be considered my benefactor, even if our royal family owes you a favor. Moreover, my father will never be angry with me for this." !”

Seeing Empress Jiuxuan's insistence, Lin Chen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

In the next two days, Lin Chen and Empress Jiuxuan headed south.

Although Empress Jiuxuan was a woman, she was extremely fast and had disappeared from Lin Chen's sight in the blink of an eye. Lin Chen estimated that she was afraid of being dragged down by him.

Two days later, the two stopped at the foot of a huge mountain.

"Miss Jiuxuan, the Xuanming Hantan is ahead. We are here."

Lin Chen pointed to a winding small river ahead.

The place where they stayed was less than a hundred meters away from the creek.

"Huh."

Empress Jiuxuan glanced at the creek, then at the surroundings, and said in surprise: "There seem to be some special spiritual beasts in this creek."

Lin Chen followed her gaze and looked at the creek and saw a group of red carp swimming in it.

This group of red carp is red in color, much thicker than ordinary carp, and has a sharp tail fin.
