Experts who have opened the Spirit Hidden Realm possess a spiritual force that is almost tangible, unfathomable, and capable of mastering countless methods incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Their spiritual force can transform into various shapes. When thin, it can be like a steel needle, piercing into a person's mind, causing a silent death. When broad, it can be like an endless torrent, shaking dozens of miles.

There was once an expert of the Spirit Hidden Realm who, with a single thought, stunned an army of tens of thousands.

Even more terrifying, they can remotely control others, turning them into their puppets, manipulating them at will.

The strongest among them can even use their spiritual force to control the heaven and earth's vital energy, compressing the vital energy within a radius of dozens of miles into a single strand with a single thought.

Therefore, the Spirit Hidden Realm has always been the most difficult and mysterious of the three hidden realms to cultivate.

Once opened, one's strength will undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

Just now, these three experts who had opened the Spirit Hidden Realm were hiding in the void, wanting to capture Lu Chen alive and force the imperial court to withdraw its troops. As a result, they were discovered by the four old men of the imperial family at the first moment and forced out.

"Three Lin Family brothers, you don't need to threaten us. The four of us are old and decrepit, and we can't control the imperial court's decisions. We came here today on orders and don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. So, reasoning with us is pointless."

One of the imperial family elders chuckled.

"Is your imperial family really going to tie itself to the Sky Sword Sect?"

The Lin Family elder said in a low voice again, "How long can the Sky Sword Sect protect you?"

"I told you, reasoning with us is useless."

The imperial family elder shook his head and said, "We only know one thing, and that is to entangle you!"

"That's right!"

The other three imperial family elders smiled and stepped forward in unison.

"Entangle us?"

The three Lin Family elders all looked gloomy, staring intently at the four.

Boom!

Between the two sides, an invisible spiritual force instantly clashed, like two invisible small worlds colliding with each other, emitting a roar. The area was instantly filled with flying sand and rocks, howling winds, and distortions in the void.

Even countless lightning bolts appeared between the two sides, crackling and flashing with dazzling light.

The entire ground was shaking violently.

In the end, all seven figures disappeared at the first moment.

This was not because their speed was too fast to be seen, but because pure spiritual power enveloped them, deceiving the range of human eyesight.

Only those whose spiritual force reached the same frequency as theirs could see their bodies.

Otherwise, those with slightly weaker spiritual force would not be able to capture them.

However, Lu Chen was not worried at all.

Since these four imperial family elders dared to follow, they must have a way to hold back those three.

If they couldn't even do that, then their imperial family deserved to be destroyed.

Lu Chen strode forward, continuing to walk ahead.

The entire Lin Family was in chaos.

Many elders led their disciples to form battle formations at the first moment, rushing towards Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, you are simply arrogant! You actually dare to enter my Lin Family alone? You are courting death!"

One Lin Family elder held a long sword, his eyes red, pointing at Lu Chen.

"That's right! You think that relying on those people outside can disintegrate our fighting spirit? That's impossible!"

Another Lin Family elder shouted sternly, "My Lin Family has been passed down for thousands of years, and we have seen all kinds of storms. Today, we swear to defend the Lin Family!"

"Swear to defend the Lin Family!"

The others roared one after another, their eyes red, forming battle formations and rushing towards Lu Chen.

Waves of fierce aura rushed forward like a mountain of tsunami.

"Noisy!"

Lu Chen's eyes were cold.

You wanted to kill me first, and now you're acting like you're the victims?

Is there any logic to that?

Boom!

The long saber was suddenly unsheathed, emitting a dazzling light, and the Blade Intent on his body instantly reached its peak.

Puff puff puff puff puff!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

In an instant, the killing intent within these people's bodies began to explode instantly. Strands of killing intent, as if transformed into sharp blades, shot out from their bodies one after another.

The entire area was transformed into a Asura hell.

Countless people exploded and died miserably in an instant, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

[You have killed a scion of a noble family who attempted to kill you, Merit Points +120]

[+110]

[+110]

Lines of text rapidly appeared.

"Defend the Lin Family, defend the Lin Family!"

The remaining people continued to charge forward as if they were fearless.

Boom!

Lu Chen showed no mercy, unleashing his Blade Intent.

No Life continued to erupt.

Patches of figures were constantly exploding.

Using No Life with his current cultivation was truly like bullying the weak.

The entire plaza was a blur of blood and flesh, with limbs flying everywhere, a truly horrific sight.

Lines of Merit Points continued to rapidly appear.

Lin Wanhua, with only one leg remaining, was filled with terror, trembling, and desperately retreating backward, supporting herself with a crutch, fleeing for her life in a panic.

Too terrifying!

Lu Chen had once again left a deep psychological shadow in her heart, leaving her without even the courage to look back.

Those True Qi Hidden Realm elders were actually dying in droves?

At this moment, deep within the Lin Family.

In a spacious hall.

No matter how shrill the screams outside, no matter how chaotic.

There were still three figures unmoved.

On the spacious throne sat a burly figure with a weary expression. The figure's face was covered with a beard, and his once sharp eyes were now somewhat dim.

Before him, a young man and a young woman were looking anxiously at the burly figure before them.

"Father..."

"Say no more, things have come to this, I'm afraid my Lin Family will hardly escape this calamity today."

The burly figure rubbed his brow and said, "What I'm most worried about is you two. Your bloodline is the purest bloodline of my Lin Family in five hundred years, infinitely close to our distant ancestors. No matter who in the family has an accident, you two must not have an accident. As long as you don't die, your future achievements will definitely surpass that Lu Chen. When that time comes, I ask you, as your father, you must destroy the Sky Sword Sect!"

The burly figure began to grit his teeth as he spoke.

A deep hatred was revealed in his slightly dim eyes.

The Sky Sword Sect!

It was all because of them!

If it weren't for them, their Lin Family ancestor would not have died!

Their Lin Family would not have encountered such a catastrophic crisis.

"Father, rest assured, once your daughter grows up, I will definitely destroy the Sky Sword Sect!"

The woman in her early thirties said with red eyes, tears welling up, gritting her teeth.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that."

The burly figure forced a smile and said, "The outside world is spreading rumors about how much of a genius that Lu Chen is, but I don't believe any of this news."

Reaching the ninth level of the True Qi Hidden Realm before the age of 16?

This was simply too fake to be true.

If Dugu Wudi hadn't given Lu Chen an infusion of power, he wouldn't believe it even if he died!

Even if you were the reincarnation of a god, it would be impossible to reach the ninth level of the True Qi Hidden Realm at the age of 16!

He was all too clear about the petty tricks within these major powers.

It wasn't just their Sky Sword Sect that liked to boast, which hidden family didn't boast?

Weren't they all using various cheating methods to push their successors to the forefront of the Jianghu?

But he never expected that Dugu Wudi's fabrication would cause such a thing!

A 16-year-old at the ninth level of True Qi?

Could you make it any more outrageous?

"Alright, you don't need to be sad. Now, take the family's treasures and escape from the back mountain. Your father will personally teach that Lu Chen a lesson."

The burly figure smiled and said, "The ninth level of True Qi that was infused through power, his true strength isn't even comparable to the third level. I can destroy him with one move!"

He stood up, picked up a long saber, and walked out of the hall.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

As soon as he stepped out of the main hall, Lu Chen saw countless corpses exploding haphazardly before him, spraying blood everywhere.

Severed limbs flew chaotically.

His gaze swept across the scene.

Lu Chen walked forward, swinging his blade.

Countless Lin Family members exploded into pieces.

The entire scene was utterly horrific!

"You beast!"

The burly figure's eyes turned red as he roared furiously. Brandishing his treasured blade, he shot forward like lightning, unleashing the terrifying power of the ninth level of the True Qi Hidden Realm, directly slamming towards Lu Chen.

"You're just a fake genius force-fed power! How dare you run wild in my Lin Family!"

"I'll destroy you!"

Pfft!

Boom!

A flash of Blade Intent.

Lu Chen's long blade shattered everything, splitting apart all the blade energy unleashed by the burly figure. Like a toppling mountain of gold and a collapsing pillar of jade, it slammed heavily into the burly figure's body.

He coughed up blood, screaming miserably as his entire body flew backward like a broken sack, crashing heavily back into the main hall.

[You have severely injured a Ye Family manager struggling on his deathbed. Merit Points +140]

"Your cultivation... wasn't it force-fed to you by Dugu Wudi?"

The burly figure's face was filled with terror, his chest covered in blood, one of his arms completely shattered.

How was this possible?

He was also at the ninth level of the True Qi Hidden Realm!

Yet he couldn't withstand a single blow!

Lu Chen's cultivation didn't seem like it was force-fed at all. Instead, it was as pure as if he had cultivated in seclusion for many years.

Could there really be such a monstrous talent in this world?

"What nonsense? Who told you I was force-fed power?"

Lu Chen said coldly, stepping forward.

"Young Master, run!"

Suddenly, a roar came. Two more elders at the eighth level of True Qi, their bodies ablaze, rushed towards Lu Chen, desperately trying to buy time.

But Lu Chen didn't even look at them, simply swinging his blade.

Boom! Boom!

The two elders who had ignited their essence and life force exploded on the spot, dead beyond dead.

The burly figure was utterly terrified.

Impossible!

This was impossible!

How could Lu Chen's Blade Intent be so terrifying?

Two elders who had burned their essence and life force, killed with a single strike!

He felt like his entire life of over a hundred years had completely collapsed.

What kind of monster was this?

Their Lin Family was finished!

Even if those two children managed to escape, they would never be a match for Lu Chen!

"Monster! What kind of monster are you?!"

The burly figure roared in despair.

"I'm your daddy!"

Lu Chen swung his long blade, directly slamming it towards his body.
