Terrifying Strike

Chen Zhengqing could tell that Yang Lingtian had a backup plan, but he was still worried that Yang Lingtian's trump cards wouldn't be enough to cope.

When Lei Gang stopped less than two meters away from Yang Lingtian, he revealed a strange smile.

Yang Lingtian's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became sharp. He felt that Lei Gang was about to make a move.

He quickly took out the Stone Jade from his spatial ring, and the terrifying aura contained within it instantly spread out.

"This is..." Lei Gang felt the terrifying aura, and his expression changed drastically.

But before he could finish a sentence, Yang Lingtian had quickly activated the Stone Jade.

Then, a terrifying strike comparable to the peak of the Golden Core stage shot out rapidly.

The moment this terrifying strike appeared, powerful energy fluctuations spread outward.

"What strong energy fluctuations!"

"It's from Chen Manor. How could there be such strong energy fluctuations?"

The other three major families and the City Lord's Mansion in Tianchen City, as well as other Golden Core experts, instantly sensed this terrifying aura and looked towards Chen Manor.

At this time, Lei Gang's eyes instantly narrowed. He never expected that Yang Lingtian would have such a terrifying treasure.

He wanted to raise his hand to resist, but he was too close and unprepared.

The speed of this peak Golden Core strike was too fast, shooting into his forehead like lightning.

The violent power shattered his divine soul in an instant.

He only heard him slowly say, "I was careless!"

Then his whole body crashed down.

Dead.

A Golden Core expert had died in obscurity!

Lei Gang never imagined that Yang Lingtian would have a treasure that could unleash such a terrifying strike.

Even Golden Core experts couldn't create such a life-saving treasure.

The sudden scene shocked everyone in Chen Manor, and even Chen Zhengqing was surprised.

He felt the terrifying strike most clearly. He knew that if this strike hit him, he would surely die.

At this time, everyone was stunned, and the scene suddenly became extremely quiet. They couldn't believe their eyes.

"Is Lei Gang really dead?" someone broke the silence.

"He's dead. Look, he's lying there motionless."

"Impossible, Lei Gang is a top expert with a cultivation base at the mid-stage of the Golden Core."

"What treasure does the son-in-law have that can unleash such a terrifying strike?"

The servants of Chen Manor began to exclaim, and the scene before them shocked them greatly.

The Stone Jade in Yang Lingtian's hand had lost its light at this time, and the terrifying aura had dissipated, turning into an ordinary stone.

He coldly looked at Lei Gang's corpse, then walked up to him and searched him for all his treasures and Spirit Stones.

Lei Gang, this trouble, was solved, but there was no system reward.

It seems that the trouble I caused doesn't count as helping the Chen Family solve various troubles in this long-term mission.

At this time, Chen Zhengqing walked over, the surprised look on his face had not yet faded.

"Lingtian, what was that strike just now?" he asked in surprise.

Yang Lingtian took out the Stone Jade and replied, "I accidentally obtained a treasure outside that can unleash a peak Golden Core strike."

"What, there is such a treasure? I've never heard of it," Chen Zhengqing said in surprise.

"Foster Father, now that Lei Gang is dead, the Lei Family is no longer a threat to us," Yang Lingtian said with a slight smile.

"That's true, but who knows if the Lei Family has a bigger backer behind them."

Chen Zhengqing came back to his senses from the shock and said with slight worry.

"It's okay, Foster Father, we'll cross that bridge when we get there," Yang Lingtian said without care.

Then Chen Zhengqing ordered someone to dispose of Lei Gang's body and demanded that the news here not be leaked to the outside.

At this time, the onlookers outside did not know what happened here. They only felt a terrifying energy fluctuation, and then there was no movement.

However, what happened here was seen by several Golden Core experts hiding in the clouds, who were originally watching the show.

They were also shocked. They never expected such a terrifying strike to appear.

"What was that strike just now? It was able to kill Lei Gang with one strike."

"That strike just now was no weaker than a peak Golden Core strike, right? We can't withstand such a strike either."

"The Chen Family is becoming more and more mysterious."

"Yes, some time ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred above the Chen Family. No one knows what happened. At that time, the Chen Family was already shrouded in a mysterious veil."

"Even the True Elixir Pavilion, which has always been neutral and does not participate in disputes, is willing to stand up for the Chen Family. It seems that the Chen Family's background is really terrifying."

"We haven't fully investigated the Chen Family's resources yet, so it's best to avoid provoking them in the future."

The terrifying attack earlier left those few Golden Core experts with lingering fear and a degree of apprehension towards the Chen Family.

Lei Gang's entry into the Chen Manor without returning has sparked various speculations.

Almost no one could guess that Lei Gang had already died in the Chen Family; only the few Golden Core experts who witnessed it knew of Lei Gang's demise.

After a day of peace, a group of women dressed in white suddenly arrived at the entrance of Chen Manor.

Leading them was a middle-aged woman whose aura was restrained, giving the impression of an ordinary person.

At this time, Chen Zhengqing and Yang Lingtian were still discussing matters in the main hall.

Then, a servant reported that people from the Water Immortal Palace had come to visit.

Upon hearing that it was someone from the Water Immortal Palace, Yang Lingtian and Chen Zhengqing's expressions both changed.

Chen Zhengqing was puzzled. As a Golden Core expert, he knew that the Water Immortal Palace was one of the three major sects of the Star-Moon Dynasty.

Although its sect disciples were all women, it was a powerful sect with a Nascent Soul Old Monster overseeing it. Why would they visit a small Chen Family?

Yang Lingtian, on the other hand, looked surprised and suspicious. He had just fought with people from the Water Immortal Palace the day before yesterday, and they had already come to his door?

As expected of a major sect, they found out I was here so quickly, Yang Lingtian muttered to himself.

Chen Zhengqing noticed that Yang Lingtian's expression was somewhat unusual when he heard about the Water Immortal Palace and asked, "Lingtian, could it be that you attracted the Water Immortal Palace here?"

Yang Lingtian explained embarrassedly, "I ran into them when I came back, so there's a bit of a minor issue."

Chen Zhengqing sighed. He thought Yang Lingtian had caused trouble outside.

"You should avoid them for now; I'll deal with them," Chen Zhengqing said, waving his hand.

Yang Lingtian had no choice but to hide in a room inside the main hall and wait to see what happened.

Soon, the people from the Water Immortal Palace were brought to the main hall, totaling about twenty people.

The leading middle-aged woman's aura was restrained; even Chen Zhengqing couldn't sense what realm this person was in, giving off a sense of unfathomable depth.

However, the twenty-odd women behind her were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"I am Chen Zhengqing, the head of the Chen Family. The Water Immortal Palace has honored us with its presence. May I ask what brings you here?" Chen Zhengqing asked respectfully.

The leading middle-aged woman spoke with an arrogant tone, "I am Qin Xuelan, an elder of the Water Immortal Palace. Did a phenomenon of heaven and earth appear in your Chen Manor some time ago?"

Chen Zhengqing's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied, "That's right. May I ask if there is a problem with that?"

Qin Xuelan cut straight to the point, "I have been in Tianchen City for a day and have also gathered some information."

"It is said that on the day of the celestial phenomenon, your daughter Chen Yiyue happened to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, right?"

Chen Zhengqing was a little dumbfounded at this point. They came to the Chen Family to investigate just for the sake of this celestial phenomenon?

"That's right, but I still don't know, what is the purpose of your visit to my Chen Family? Could it be just to investigate this celestial phenomenon?" Chen Zhengqing asked, still puzzled.

"Then call your daughter out for a moment; I came to find her this time," Qin Xuelan still didn't answer directly.

Helpless, Chen Zhengqing quickly had Chen Yiyue brought to the main hall.

Qin Xuelan's gaze towards Chen Yiyue became much gentler, and then she took out a crystal ball.

She injected a strange power into the crystal ball, and then the crystal ball emitted a dazzling light.

Even in the daytime, it couldn't hide that dazzling light, and that light was actually attracted to Chen Yiyue.

An excited expression appeared on Qin Xuelan's face: "That's right, that's right, found her, found her."

Chen Zhengqing and Chen Yiyue both looked puzzled; what was going on?

Qin Xuelan continued to say excitedly, "Chen Family Head, you have given birth to a good daughter."

"Do you know that she has awakened the Taiyin Sacred Body, but you may not have heard of it."

"After all, this kind of physique appears only once in ten thousand years, and few people know about it."

Chen Zhengqing was also shocked when he heard this. For the people of the Water Immortal Palace to come looking for her, it must be a heaven-defying physique.

However, he still had some questions: "So you came to find my daughter, but how did you know about this place?"

"This celestial phenomenon can only be seen by the people of Tianchen City. How did the Water Immortal Palace, far away in the central region of the Star-Moon Dynasty, find out about it?"

After confirming that Chen Yiyue was the person they were looking for, Qin Xuelan's expression also became gentler.

She explained patiently, "Naturally, it was the sect master who sent me."

"The moment your daughter broke through to the Foundation Establishment and awakened the Taiyin Sacred Body, my sect's treasure sensed something and pointed in this direction."

"We have been searching for many days and finally found her."

"This time, we have come to bring your daughter back to the Water Immortal Palace and make her the holy maiden of our sect."

Chen Zhengqing was shocked when he heard this.

This was the Water Immortal Palace, a sect even more ancient and long-standing than the other two major sects.

Although in terms of strength, the three major sects were about the same.

But in terms of history and seniority, Water Immortal Palace appeared earlier than the other two major sects.

It even existed before the Star-Moon Dynasty was established.

In addition, Water Immortal Palace is entirely female, giving it an even more mysterious color.

"As long as my daughter has no objections, then let her join Water Immortal Palace," Chen Zhengqing replied happily.

Although Chen Yiyue knew that she had awakened a heaven-defying physique, her expression remained calm.

She cupped her hands and responded indifferently, "I have no objections; it is my honor to enter Water Immortal Palace."

Qin Xuelan smiled with satisfaction, but she suddenly thought of something.

So she asked, "I heard that Yiyue held her wedding more than a month ago; is this true?"
