Everyone saw that Chen Xuan's expression was off.

They were all so frightened they trembled.

Terrified that they would follow in Lin Mang's footsteps.

One after another, they hid behind Lin Xia.

"L-Lin Xia, save... save us, we... we don't want to die yet..."

"I... I'm still young, I... I still have so much... so much good time ahead of me."

"I... I..."

"D-Don't come any closer!"

Seeing their reactions, Chen Xuan felt no pity.

There was nothing to be done.

If they wanted to blame something, they could blame being born wrong.

They could blame themselves for bearing the surname Lin.

They could blame...

This was a world where the strong were revered!

The weak could only be eliminated!

"Heh, your mouths say no, but your bodies are honest. In a while, you won't be telling... telling it not to come over."

As he spoke, Chen Xuan waved his hand.

A surge of wild Yuan Power rapidly condensed into a Yuan Power storm, sweeping through the hall.

Rip! Rip! Rip!

The sound of cloth tearing kept echoing out.

In less than a minute.

The hall had turned into a vast expanse of white!

How could they ever have experienced anything like this?

All of them huddled together like wounded rabbits, utterly terrified.

Screams and sobs blended into one.

Seeing this scene.

Lin Zhentian, trapped inside the Yuan Power prison, was so furious his eyes nearly split apart.

Yet he could do nothing.

He could only stand there and watch!

Chen Xuan deliberately glanced at him, the corner of his mouth curving up.

Angry already?

Just wait!

The good part was still to come!

After that, he took out the Cosmos Sack he had seized from Nie Huayou.

From inside, he pulled out a White-Headed Joyous Ape.

From the name alone, one could tell this was an extremely wicked demonic beast.

What it liked most were human women.

Its own strength was also at Form Creation Realm Lesser Completion.

Chen Xuan had captured it from Profound Yin Stream.

The moment it emerged, it smelled the unique scent of human women.

In an instant.

A lewd, sinister light began flickering in its crimson beast eyes.

If not for its fear of Chen Xuan being present.

It would have already rushed forward and acted wantonly.

When Lin Zhentian saw this scene.

His entire face went pale, and his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

He wished he could tear Chen Xuan apart and devour him alive!

Little did he know, the angrier he became, the more comfortable Chen Xuan felt.

Chen Xuan merely waved his hand and said to the White-Headed Joyous Ape, "All these women are yours as a reward. Do with them as you please. But remember, don't kill them."

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The White-Headed Joyous Ape was beside itself with excitement, drool having long since spilled from the corners of its mouth all over the floor.

It looked utterly repulsive.

Excited, it wiped the corner of its mouth and rushed gleefully into the crowd.

With one claw, it grabbed someone amid their heart-rending cries for help.

Then it began its favorite step.

Those who had not been caught tried to flee, only to discover that Chen Xuan had already sealed off the area. They could not even take a single step out the main doors!

Despair spread through every one of them, until...

"Ah... ah..."

In the hall, heart-rending screams and cries for help rang out without end.

Lin Zhentian was so furious his lungs nearly burst.

Chen Xuan sat calmly and unhurriedly in the Lin Family's seat of honor, admiring the battle before him.

Just like that.

It continued for a full day.

If Chen Xuan had not stopped it, given the White-Headed Joyous Ape's hunger and thirst...

Probably not one of them would have made it out alive.

And now...

The entire Lin Family hall was a complete mess.

There were people everywhere.

With a beckon of his hand, Chen Xuan "invited" Lin Zhentian into the hall.

Lin Zhentian's face was ashen.

Faintly, he caught a sour, stinking scent of "love" pervading the air.

Snap!

Chen Xuan snapped his fingers.

Lin Zhentian could speak again. Eyes splitting with rage, he looked at Chen Xuan. "You bastard! Why? Why would you do this to my Lin Family!!"

At that moment, he only hated that his own strength was so meager that he could not kill the man before him and be done with it.

Chen Xuan smiled coldly. "For that, you can thank yourself for having such a good grandson!"

"Grandson? Which grandson of mine offended you!"

"Sorry, I'm under no obligation to tell you. In your next life—no, wait on the road to the Yellow Springs and ask him yourself!"

As his words fell...

Chen Xuan grasped at the air with his left hand.

A terrifying surge of Yuan Power crushed every bone in Lin Zhentian's body as though snapping dry branches.

Crackling sounds rang out.

Soon, scarlet blood streamed continuously down from the corner of his mouth.

A trace of unwillingness still lingered in his eyes.

Chen Xuan unleashed Flame Palm.

He cremated him on the spot.

Then another Wind Cotton Palm followed, grinding his bones and scattering his ashes.

After finishing all this...

Lin Xia and the others still had not come back to their senses.

Chen Xuan said coldly, "Everyone, if you don't want to die, put on your clothes immediately. I have a new task."

Hearing this, those who had still been lying on the ground a second earlier...

In the next instant, all stood up.

They picked up the clothes Chen Xuan had thrown on the floor and put them on with trembling hands.

Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this.

"Not bad, not bad. Promising students indeed."

"What else do you want us to do?" Lin Xia raised her head numbly and asked.

Chen Xuan smiled. "Good question. In that case, please go and invite Lin Dong's parents over."

Lin Dong...

Hearing that name.

Light suddenly returned to Lin Xia's eyes. She stared fixedly at Chen Xuan and said, "I'm telling you, Lin Dong has extraordinary talent. Once he comes back, you're finished!"

In the eyes of the Lin Family of Qingyang Town, Lin Dong was hope!

As long as he was there, no matter how great the crisis, they could turn danger into safety!

Chen Xuan's figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Xia, and he reached out to pinch her chin.

Looking down at her from above, he asked in return, "Do you really think Lin Dong is some savior?"

"What, are you scared?" Lin Xia lifted her chin. There was no longer the slightest fear in her eyes.

To her, after what the White-Headed Joyous Ape had done to her, from now on, there was nothing left she could not lose.

Chen Xuan laughed.

Fine, fine, fine!

Since that was the case, he would let her see with her own eyes the savior she believed in.

He would show her how he was trapped in the Mist Forest right now, unable to move an inch!

Chen Xuan pressed one hand onto Lin Xia's shoulder.

Yuan Power enveloped her.

The next second, the two of them vanished at the same time.

Not long after, the two of them appeared in the sky above the Mist Forest.

Chen Xuan pointed below. "That person—you still remember him, right?"

"That's... Cousin Lin Dong!!"

After clearly seeing that battered figure, Lin Xia covered her mouth.

Her face was filled with disbelief.

Why was he here?

At that moment, she also noticed that the two enormous demonic beasts were taking turns tormenting Lin Dong.

And Lin Dong could only keep dodging, looking especially wretched.

How could this be?

Seeing that Lin Dong was about to be struck by the Ancient Dragon Ape, Lin Xia could not help shouting, "Lin Dong, watch out!"

Chen Xuan reminded her coldly, "Don't waste your breath. He can't hear you."

Lin Xia asked venomously, "Why?"

Chen Xuan smiled without answering, then asked in return, "Now, do you still think Lin Dong is your savior?"

He could barely protect himself.

How was he supposed to save anyone?

Right!

We still have someone else!

Lin Xia refused to give up. "Once Sister Qingtan returns after completing her training, you'll die all the same!"
