Lin Yuan Reveals the Secret That Saves His Life

Lin Yuan's Daoist robe was now stained with blood and torn to shreds.

The sneak attack by Yan Emperor just now has caused his life force to drain away.

But he didn't care about any of that.

All he wanted was the power of that secret treasure.

Kneel down.

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

Thump!

Lin Yuan knelt down cleanly and decisively.

Driven by Bewitch Hearts influence and a fervent obsession with the secret treasure.

Lin Yuan readily agreed.

Chen Ning shook his head and chuckled, "Lin Yuan, you old dog, I was just saying that. You didn't actually believe me, did you?"

"You!"

Lin Yuan's eyes widened, his eyeballs almost bulging out.

Then.

He spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

At this moment, all the meridians in his body were shattered.

The True Essence dissipated.

He was already nearing the end.

Only now did a sliver of clarity return to Lin Yuan's eyes.

Turn out to be.

He no longer valued his cultivation level of the Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Level.

More than a year ago, Lin Yuan even sent his disciples to kill him.

More than a year.

For Lin Yuan, it was just a blink of an eye.

But that boy from back then has become the most prominent figure.

They trampled Lin Yuan under their feet as well.

However, even with a thousand regrets, it was too late.

Not only him, but the dying Yan Emperor was also shrouded in despair, his heart ashen.

The other party did not make a move.

They were being played with from beginning to end.

Chen Ning turned his gaze to Cang Yue, who immediately understood and nodded slightly before approaching the dying Yan Emperor.

"I ask you, is my mother still alive?"

Cang Yue's eyes were cold and piercing.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness... I was wrong. I shouldn't have imprisoned Consort Xuan to... to control you. Consort Xuan... that day she committed suicide with resentment. When I found out... it was already too late to save her..."

"In that case, you might as well die!"

Cang Yue shed a tear, channeled her True Essence Power, and prepared to end Yan Emperor's life.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I beg you... please think of our sibling relationship... Even if you don't care about us, you should think of the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty, you should... think of the people of Spirit Province..."

Yan Emperor's words were written in tears.

Upon hearing this, Cang Yue was momentarily distracted, and her killing intent wavered.

If Yan Emperor were to die.

The secular world of Spirit Province is about to descend into chaos once again.

At that time.

It is the ordinary people who suffer.

At this moment.

Chen Ning smiled calmly and said, "There's no need to worry about these things. Just focus on taking revenge. I, your master, will take care of everything."

In short.

Instantly, Cang Yue's bright eyes lit up, and her resolve hardened once more.

Behind her is the sect leader.

That would ensure absolute safety.

This is an almost blind trust.

With a gentle flick of her right hand, Cang Yue unleashed a burst of True Essence Power that instantly robbed Yan Emperor of all his life force.

That concludes the discussion.

The Yan Emperor has fallen.

Cang Yue personally killed this enemy.

At this time.

That left only Lin Yuan.

He saw Chen Ning walking towards him.

Lin Yuan gasped for breath, "Sect Leader, I wish to exchange a secret for my life."

"Oh?"

Chen Ning's eyes flickered, and he said, "You go first."

"My secret is extremely valuable; in exchange for my worthless life, it's a sure-fire deal."

Chen Ning pondered for a moment.

He took out a first-grade healing pill.

After Lin Yuan took the medicine, his life and cultivation were temporarily preserved.

"Tell me," I said, "If your secret is truly valuable, I will spare your life."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Alright! However, this matter is too confidential, these two should recuse themselves."

Upon hearing this, Cang Yue and Su Ling'er were about to leave.

Chen Ning spoke up, "No need, you go ahead and say it."

"Hahaha... Now I am completely convinced. Why is the sect leader so popular? My defeat was not unjust."

Lin Yuan gave Chen Ning a deep look.

Both Cang Yue and Su Ling'er were pleasantly surprised at this moment.

The feeling of being trusted by the sect leader warmed their hearts.

He coughed violently for a while.

Lin Yuan continued, "I am a fellow disciple of the eighth sect leader. I am older, became a disciple earlier, and have more seniority, so these eyes have seen some things that I shouldn't have seen before."

Upon hearing this...

Chen Ning's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that Lin Yuan is going to talk mostly about the old sect leader.

"The reason I dared not covet the secret treasure during my junior brother's tenure was because I happened to run into one of the guests he was meeting that day."

"It was only after much inquiry that I learned that this person was actually the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord of the Heavenly Lake Holy Land, the overlord of Central Province. That is why I dared not plot against my junior brother, the sect leader."

"Later, my junior brother, the sect leader, asked me to temporarily take charge of the sect, while he himself went to Central Province with the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord. The two seemed to have a close relationship, and with such a relationship, I would never dare to covet the secret treasure during that time."

"After that, I announced my seclusion, which lasted for decades, to the point that even the people of the Dragon-Seeking Sect had forgotten that I ever existed."

Chen Ning listened to Lin Yuan's words.

Some of the doubts in my mind have been resolved.

At this moment, he finally understood why the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord had always treated him so kindly.

It turns out that he was an old acquaintance of the former sect leader.

But new doubts immediately arose.

If the two are friends, then what's the story with Meng Yuyi?

Why would the old sect leader tell him that Meng Yuyi was an undercover agent?

Regardless.

There must be some secret between them.

This secret likely originated from the time when the old sect leader and the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord traveled together in Central Province.

Both Cang Yue and Su Ling'er were moved.

Unexpectedly, the old sect leader had some connection with the Heavenly Lake Holy Lord.

This is truly a little-known secret.

"I have told you everything I know. Shouldn't you spare my life?"

"This secret of yours is worth your life. I mean what I say, I'll spare your life."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy.

But before she could even rejoice, Chen Ning continued, "I have only agreed to spare your life, not to grant you freedom. You will have to endure this for a while. Go and recuperate in this Heaven-Swallowing Bag and continue your seclusion."

No matter what, Lin Yuan ultimately couldn't let the tiger return to the mountain.

So we just put him in the Heaven-Swallowing Bag. Anyway, this old guy likes to cultivate in seclusion, so this time he can stay in seclusion to his heart's content.

Lin Yuan was taken aback at first.

He was faintly angry, but it was already a great privilege to have his life saved, so let him be restricted in his freedom.

After an agreement was reached.

A new guest has arrived in the Heaven-Swallowing Bag.

New and returning guests exchanged warm and friendly greetings.

With the Heaven-Swallowing Bag, the world will prosper in no time.

"Sect Leader, I..."

Cang Yue's red lips moved slightly, finding it difficult to face the sect leader.

Although he was being used by Yan Emperor.

But she had deceived the sect leader after all.

He was an informant.

"So disrespectful! What? Now that you're a princess, you don't even call me 'Master' anymore?"

Chen Ning spoke softly, seemingly reprimanding, but it was also a statement of attitude.

Su Ling'er's attitude shows that Cang Yue has made the right choice.

Not to mention.

The system doesn't lie.

At this very moment, the long-awaited mission rewards were finally distributed.
