Chapter Thirteen: The Kill

“My people dare to make a move!”

Just as Ye Huanhuan was about to kick down, a figure dashed over from afar.

Chen Xuan raised his hand and flicked it.

A surge of qi force cut off Ye Huanhuan’s right foot.

She howled in pain like a slaughtered pig.

“Sect Master~”

Chu Lingyun, thinking she was about to die, was unexpectedly relieved to see that imposing figure standing before her.

“Take this quickly.”

Chen Xuan casually took out a Dragon-Tiger Yang-Boosting Pill and handed it to Chu Lingyun to help her recover.

Watching Chu Lingyun gradually improve, Chen Xuan finally relaxed.

Luckily, he came to the Ye family as soon as he saw the system prompt; had he been a moment later, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

This was his only golden fortune.

With that thought, a chill emanated from Chen Xuan’s body as his gaze locked onto Lin Feng like a hawk.

“You’re the one who injured my disciple.”

Name: Lin Feng
Cultivation: Early Nascent Soul
Fortune Level: Purple
Spiritual Root: Superior
Constitution: None
Comprehension: High
Filial Piety Score: -50

“Chen Xuan,”

Lin Feng did not expect Chen Xuan to arrive so swiftly.

A sudden chill gripped his heart.

He was only at Early Nascent Soul, while Chen Xuan had reached the peak of Nascent Soul centuries ago.

They were on entirely different levels.

However, thinking of his sect’s plan, he regained some confidence. “So what if I hit him?”

“Then die!”

“Die?”

Lin Feng laughed heartily toward the sky. “Chen Xuan, I admit you are strong, having reached the peak of Nascent Soul.

But I, as an elder, am also at Nascent Soul stage. You may not be able to kill me in one strike.

Moreover, my Qingyun Sect excels in agility. If one strike can’t kill me, I will surely escape. Once I return to my sect, I will lead others to retaliate against your Xuandan Sect.

Your Xuandan Sect is already struggling to survive, while my Qingyun Sect is flourishing and has entered the ranks of top-tier sects.

Are you really going to offend us Qingyun Sect just for a woman?”

“Is that so?”

Chen Xuan sneered coldly, “Then let’s see if I can kill you in one move!”

As he spoke, Chen Xuan unleashed the Fire Immolation Technique.

Scorching flames engulfed Lin Feng immediately.

“Ah!”

Lin Feng howled in agony, his spiritual power completely suppressed and unable to be used. “Impossible! How can your Fire Immolation Technique be this powerful?”

“No, you’re not just Nascent Soul—you’ve broken through to Transformation Divine!”

Lin Feng was horrified.

Only those at the Transformation Divine stage possessed such overwhelming spiritual power capable of suppressing his own.

When the flames dissipated,

Lin Feng was staggering, utterly powerless to resist or even use his agility to flee.

“I was wrong,”

Lin Feng begged for mercy, pointing at Ye Huanhuan, who lay on the ground like a dead pig, “It was her—Ye Huanhuan—who made me do this. It has nothing to do with me.”

He deeply regretted it now.

Ye Huanhuan’s unique constitution greatly aided his cultivation, which was why he chose her as his partner.

Otherwise, why would a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator choose an ugly, overweight woman?

But now, to save his life, he had to abandon Ye Huanhuan.

“You didn’t kill me outright, so you must not want to fight the Qingyun Sect to the death. Rest assured, I won’t seek revenge after I return.”

“Besides, I will compensate your disciple somewhat. How about that?”

Just now, Chen Xuan could have killed him instantly,

But he didn’t.

So Lin Feng believed Chen Xuan didn’t want to break with Qingyun Sect completely, especially since the Xuandan Sect was on the brink of collapse.

He vowed silently.

When the three great sects united to besiege Xuandan Sect this time, he would personally crush Chen Xuan to dust.

“That’s not acceptable.”

Chen Xuan said coldly, then turned to Chu Lingyun with tenderness, “Go, avenge yourself.”

“Yes!”

Chu Lingyun was deeply moved. Chen Xuan not only saved her in time but also cared for her feelings, letting her take revenge with her own hands.

What a great kindness.

[Chu Lingyun’s Filial Piety Score +5]

“You can’t kill me. If you do, the Qingyun Sect won’t let you off. Our sect master is also at Transformation Divine…”

Lin Feng was terrified.

He hadn’t expected that Chen Xuan’s reason for sparing him was to let Chu Lingyun personally take revenge.

Pfft.

Chu Lingyun decisively ended Lin Feng’s life.

[Ding! Chu Lingyun’s loyalty is unwavering. Killing a Nascent Soul enemy grants a reward: 100 years of cultivation and 200 filial piety points.]

A one-time reward of a hundred years’ cultivation and 200 filial piety points!

Quite a harvest.

Moreover, Chen Xuan learned that any entity with negative filial piety points was automatically classified by the system as his enemy.

Killing such enemies would also yield rewards.

“Sect Master, this is his storage ring…”

Chu Lingyun searched Lin Feng’s body again and found a storage ring.

[Ding! Chu Lingyun presents a superior earth-grade storage ring, triggering a 10x critical hit reward: a lower saint-grade storage ring.]

[Ding! Chu Lingyun presents…]

[Filial Piety Points +300]

Everything inside the storage ring triggered critical rewards.

And an additional 300 filial piety points were gained.

“Your turn now.”

Chen Xuan turned his gaze to the Ye family members nearby.

A bunch of vampires.

Everyone trembled inwardly.

Chen Xuan had just instantly killed a Nascent Soul expert, while the Ye family, despite having obtained countless resources from the Xuandan Sect, only had cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage at best.

If not for Chen Xuan’s protection,

The Ye family would have been wiped out long ago.

“We will… we will return it…”

Ye Dahai no longer dared to refuse. No matter how valuable the resources were, life came first.

“Lingyun, go inventory everything.”

Chen Xuan gestured to Chu Lingyun and tossed her the storage ring he had just acquired. Only by handing it over through her could system rewards be triggered.

“Yes!”

After a moment, Chu Lingyun returned with the storage ring.

“Sect Master, the Ye family’s resources are all here, but there’s still a large deficit.”

Chu Lingyun handed the ring back to Chen Xuan.

Hmm.

Chen Xuan accepted it.

Given the vampiric nature of the Ye family, most of the resources had been squandered.

He never expected to reclaim everything.

[Ding! Chu Lingyun presents a superior earth-grade cultivation technique, triggering a 10x critical hit reward: lower saint-grade cultivation technique.]

[Ding! Chu Lingyun presents a lower heavenly-grade cultivation technique, triggering a 10x critical hit reward: medium saint-grade cultivation technique.]

[Ding! Chu Lingyun presents 3 million low-grade spirit stones, triggering a 10x critical hit reward: 30 million low-grade spirit stones.]

[Ding! Chu Lingyun presents…]

[Filial Piety Points +500]

Thousands of notifications flooded in.

Just in cultivation techniques alone, there were over a hundred entries, many earth-grade techniques that, after critical hits, amounted to twenty saint-grade techniques.

Twenty saint-grade cultivation techniques!

Chen Xuan was astonished.

One saint-grade cultivation technique was enough to create a sacred land that lasted a thousand years.

With his current haul, he could build twenty immortal sacred lands.

“I’ve said it,”

Chen Xuan looked down contemptuously at the kneeling Ye Dahai, “Everything that belongs to Xuandan Sect must be returned in full. For every day you delay, I will kill one person.”

“Have mercy, have mercy!”

Ye Dahai was terrified and kowtowed repeatedly. “All the Ye family’s assets are here. We truly cannot provide more.”

“Blame your good daughter.”

Chen Xuan glanced at the despondent Ye Xueyan.
