Ten Thousand Souls Banner: Forged over forty-nine days, the Ten Thousand Souls Banner possessed powerful yin energy. Its holder could use its yin energy to see souls and imprison the souls of living people within the banner.

Looking at the description,

Chen Xuan's eyes filled with amazement.

Good, good, good!

This thing had practically been tailor-made for revenge!

He tapped to retrieve the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The next moment,

a black banner billowing with black smoke

appeared in the room.

In an instant, an icy, sinister aura filled the entire room.

It sent chills down one's spine.

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with it.

After playing with it for a while, he put it away.

Early the next morning,

Chen Xuan left for Qingyang Town.

Qingyang Town.

Inside the Lin Family's main hall,

Lin Mang found Lin Zhentian. "Father, something terrible has happened."

"You're acting so rashly. What kind of behavior is that?"

Lin Zhentian rebuked him.

Lin Mang said anxiously, "I just discovered that Lin Qingtan from Third Brother's family is gone!"

"So?"

"I was thinking... could it be that Lin Xiao's family has run away?"

"Do you think Third Brother is like you?"

Lin Zhentian's face darkened after hearing this.

Just as he was about to continue scolding him,

his entire body suddenly tensed as though facing a formidable enemy.

Every nerve was stretched taut!

Lin Zhentian muttered, "Not good! That person seems to have come again!"

"Who are you talking about?"

Lin Mang had yet to realize the severity of the situation.

The next second,

ripples spread through the air at the center of the hall.

Then, a handsome figure materialized out of thin air.

The moment Lin Mang saw who it was,

his legs went weak from fright.

Heavens!

Why had this fiend come here?!

It was over, it was over!

Lin Qingtan was missing. The Lin Family was about to become a river of blood.

Lin Zhentian was just as frightened.

He could only force himself forward. "Little brother, there is still quite some time before the Lin Clan Competition."

Little brother?

Chen Xuan was very displeased by that form of address. He raised his hand, and a terrifying wave of Yuan Power swept out.

It sent Lin Zhentian flying.

He crashed heavily into the doorframe.

With a gush, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lin Mang was so frightened that he did not dare move.

He was terrified that he would be next.

At that moment, Chen Xuan's voice rang beside his ear. "You. Go gather all the pretty women of your Lin Family and bring them here."

"Huh?"

Lin Mang froze.

The next moment,

a terrifying storm of Yuan Power swept over him.

It knocked him straight to the ground.

"I'll go, I'll go..."

"Heh. You dare curse in front of me? Open your mouth!"

Chen Xuan slapped twice through the air.

Dense Yuan Power formed two palm prints that struck Lin Mang's face swiftly, accurately, and viciously.

They even knocked out his teeth.

Lin Mang covered his badly swollen face.

He was utterly dumbfounded.

When had I cursed?

I agreed to go!

Why weren't you playing by the rules?

However, he also knew that Chen Xuan had shown mercy just now.

Otherwise,

he would already be a corpse.

Thus, after climbing to his feet, he hurriedly ran out and ordered people to gather all the young women of the Lin Family.

Not long afterward,

a young woman in red, around eighteen or nineteen years old, arrived while leading a group of girls about the same age.

Their looks were somewhat inferior to hers.

The girl at the front was quite pretty.

Her brown ponytail hung down over her slender waist.

Her slightly raised brows carried a heroic spirit no less impressive than a man's.

She was Lin Ken's daughter, Lin Xia!

Upon entering the main hall,

Lin Xia saw the injured Lin Zhentian and Lin Mang.

She hurried to Lin Zhentian's side. "Grandfather, what happened to you?"

"Grandfather is fine."

Lin Zhentian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He forced a smile.

Lin Mang interjected, "Your Second Uncle is not..."

Before he could finish,

Chen Xuan impatiently cut him off.

"Enough. The reunion ends here. Lin Zhentian, you and your son stand guard at the door. You are not allowed to leave even half a step!"

Revenge was about to begin!

"What do you want?" Lin Xia asked Chen Xuan, whose imposing manner made her somewhat fearful.

Chen Xuan looked at Lin Xia with malicious amusement. "I do."

"?" Lin Xia did not understand.

Chen Xuan urged, "Lin Zhentian, do you need me to send an eight-bearer sedan chair to invite you out?"

Upon hearing that,

Lin Mang hurriedly helped Lin Zhentian outside.

He then asked in a low voice, "Father, should we send someone to notify Lin Dong and have him return?"

"No. It would be useless even if Dong'er came. He might even lose his life!"

Lin Zhentian decisively refused.

At this point,

he could only place the Lin Family's future upon Lin Dong, as well as Lin Qingtan, who was cultivating under a mysterious expert.

He hoped they would be able to turn the tide in the future!

And save the Lin Family from this desperate crisis.

"Damn it. That devil... I just hope he won't harm the rest of the Lin Family afterward!"

Lin Mang gritted his teeth.

He was not worried about Lin Xia and the others at all.

He was even beginning to consider whether he could find a way to slip away.

Just then,

suddenly,

a huge hand formed from terrifying Yuan Power condensed beside him and seized him directly.

Before he could react,

he was crushed into a cloud of blood.

His soul,

too, was collected into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Since he called me a devil, it would be too disrespectful to that title if I didn't kill him."

Lin Xia and the others were petrified with terror!

No one had expected it.

One move!

With just one move, he had effortlessly crushed Lin Mang, a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert, to death on the spot.

It was simply too terrifying.

Lin Zhentian collapsed limply to the ground.

He looked at Chen Xuan in fear and helplessness.

He seemed as though his soul had left his body!

Chen Xuan reminded him, "Lin Zhentian, close the door and stand guard properly. No matter what sounds you hear, you are not allowed to come in!"

Upon hearing this,

Lin Zhentian turned his head stiffly.

"Grandfather, Second Uncle... Second Uncle, he..."

Lin Xia trembled.

She was so frightened that she could not even form a complete sentence.

"Lin Xia!"

Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Xia.

He instantly came to his senses.

He understood that if he did not take Lin Xia and the others away,

they might suffer inhuman treatment next.

In an instant, fury surged into his head.

How could he allow his granddaughter to suffer such a fate?!

At once,

the Yuan Power within him erupted.

"Better to die than be humiliated..."

Lin Zhentian shouted those words.

Just as he was about to risk his life,

he discovered that a terrifying force of Yuan Power had imprisoned him.

No matter how he struggled,

he could not move in the slightest!

Lin Zhentian roared, "You... what have you done to me?"

"You want to fight to the death before even appreciating the fine show I prepared for you? You're overthinking it."

Chen Xuan waved his hand.

Lin Zhentian was restrained by Yuan Power at the doorway.

"You devil! Just wait. The day the Lin Family's descendants rise will be the day you fall."

"Too noisy!"

Chen Xuan flicked his sleeve, directly cutting off Lin Zhentian's voice.

No matter how he howled within the Yuan Power prison.

There was simply no way to make even the slightest sound.

"Grandpa!"

Lin Xia wept, tears streaming down her face. "You... what did you do to my grandpa?"

"Want to know?"

"You great devil!"

"Whether I'm a devil or not, you'll find out in time."
