A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Outside Xiwu City, somewhere.

The aura of the Three Realms Harmony Realm permeated the air.

"Zhao Yuan! You old bastard, how dare you arrange for someone to assassinate my clan elder! Today, you will surely lose your life here!"

The Bai family reacted quickly, providing support immediately upon receiving news of the attack on their assets.

At this moment, Bai Xiuyuan, a mid-stage Yuanhe Realm elder of the Bai family, and Bai Chen, a newly promoted Yuanhe Realm elder, were confronting Zhao Yuan.

Bai Xiuyuan shouted angrily, seemingly not expecting the Zhao family to act in this way.

Zhao Yuan said indifferently, "Enough with the nonsense. You old white dog, you can't take my life."

Bai Xiuyuan was furious. His Dao power surged to its limit as he charged towards Zhao Yuan, while simultaneously shouting at Bai Chen:

“That old bastard Zhao Yuan is trying to hold us back and make their people retreat. I'll deal with that old bastard. You go after the Zhao family elders and make sure they don't leave here alive!”

Bai Xiuyuan was no pushover either. Seeing Zhao Yuan come out to stop them immediately, he immediately guessed the Zhao family's intentions.

Bai Chen nodded and turned to leave.

Zhao Yuan scoffed, "Want to leave? I didn't say you could leave!"

hum.

Zhao Yuan's Dao weapon appeared in his hand and went straight for Bai Chen, blocking Bai Chen's path, while his true form faced Bai Xiuyuan head-on.

"Old man Zhao Yuan, you are simply too arrogant and courting death!!" Bai Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Zhao Yuan's cultivation level was similar to his, yet he dared to attempt to fight two against one.

This made Bai Xiuyuan think Zhao Yuan was too arrogant.

Although Bai Chen is a newly promoted Yuanhe Realm cultivator, he is still a genuine Yuanhe Realm cultivator.

Zhao Yuan is really underestimating Bai Chen.

Bai Chen had the same thought. Seeing that he was entangled with Zhao Yuan and would be unable to break free in a short time, his eyes flashed and he said:
"Old man Zhao Yuan, since you're courting death, then we'll join forces to kill you first, and then wipe out your entire Zhao family!"

Bai Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Alright, let's kill this old bastard first."

Originally, if he and Zhao Yuan were to fight one-on-one, neither of them would be able to truly defeat the other.

But now that Bai Chen is helping him, he has gained confidence.

Immediately, Bai Xiuyuan and Bai Chen no longer held back, unleashing their Dao power to its limit in an attempt to kill Zhao Yuan in the shortest possible time.

Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, quickly found himself struggling to keep up.

He only intended to stall Bai Xiuyuan and Bai Chen for a little time to give the other elders of the Zhao family a chance to evacuate; he never thought he would actually fight to the death here.

So when Bai Xiuyuan and Bai Chen immediately launched deadly attacks, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

Bai Xiuyuan is right. Even though Bai Chen has only recently broken through, he is still a genuine Yuanhe Realm cultivator.

With two against one, he really didn't have much of a chance of winning.

Soon, Zhao Yuan decided to retreat.

He has done his best to delay; as for how many of the Zhao family members can evacuate, that depends on fate.

In any case, before the operation was launched, we were prepared for someone to be sacrificed.

As for himself, he cannot die here today.

As the only Yuanhe Realm cultivator in the Zhao family, his death would mean the complete demise of the Zhao family.

This was a plan that was set from the beginning.

Zhao Yuan began preparations for evacuation.

Seeing this, Bai Xiuyuan snorted angrily, "Old ghost Zhao Yuan, you think you can run away? You wish!"

His offensive became even more aggressive.

However, Zhao Yuan had clearly made preparations in advance, and with his determination to escape, Bai Xiuyuan and the other two were unable to do anything to him for the time being.

Seeing this, Bai Xiuyuan said to Bai Chen, "This old ghost is determined to escape, and it will be difficult to capture him in a short time. You go and kill the Zhao family members first, and I will hold this old ghost off!"

He knew in his heart that as long as Zhao Yuan was determined to escape, it would be difficult to really kill Zhao Yuan today, so he did not intend to waste any more time, but instead wanted Bai Chen to kill as many people from the Zhao family as possible.

Although Bai Chen was somewhat unwilling, he still nodded in agreement.

He flashed forward, ready to intercept the Zhao family's retreating group.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked Bai Chen's path.

It was Lin Yang.

He's been here for a while now.

I witnessed the battle between Zhao Yuan and the two Yuanhe Realm experts from the Bai family.

The reason they didn't show up and take action immediately was to observe the strength of the Yuanhe Realm cultivator.

He had long realized that Zhao Yuan couldn't really stop the two Bai family members for too long, so he didn't rush to make a move.

Bai Chen was suddenly stopped, and immediately yelled at Lin Yang, "Who are you? Are you looking for death?"

He doesn't know Lin Yang, nor could he possibly know Lin Yang.

After joining the Zhao family, Lin Yang basically kept a low profile and did not make any moves in Xiwu City.

Only Zhao Chen and others knew his strength.

Although the Bai family had heard about Lin Yang being recruited by the Zhao family as a guest elder, they knew that the Zhao family had gained another guest elder.

However, a mere guest elder at the Nirvana Realm would naturally not attract Bai Chen's attention.

Therefore, upon seeing Lin Yang suddenly appear and block him, Bai Chen frowned, his killing intent surging.

How dare a mere Nirvana Realm cultivator stop him?

He almost instinctively reached out to make a move.

Lin Yang did not answer his question, but simply said, "The person who killed you."

quiet!
In an instant, Bai Chen was stunned, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

What is a guy at the Nirvana Realm saying?
Kill him?
Bai Chen wondered if he was hallucinating.

However, Bai Chen quickly came to his senses and, without mocking or ridiculing, immediately attacked Lin Yang.

Suddenly, a Nirvana Realm cultivator jumped out and said he wanted to kill him.

This sounds ridiculous, even absurd.

But who exactly is Bai Chen?
Those who can cultivate to the Yuanhe Realm are naturally not ordinary people.

Both their experience and knowledge are top-notch.

Although Lin Yang's words were ridiculous, Bai Chen was indeed very cautious in making his move under these circumstances.

The vast power of the Yuanhe Realm surged towards Lin Yang like a boundless ocean.

Lin Yang raised an eyebrow.

Bai Chen's reaction surprised him somewhat.

"He's cautious enough; no wonder he was able to break through to the Yuanhe Realm."

With a silent praise in his heart, Lin Yang also made his move.

The flower in the realm condensed and bloomed, its petals dissolving the vast power of the Dao, while simultaneously enveloping Bai Chen.

The Silver Dragon Spear followed suit and thrust out.

A sliver of silver light pierced the night, heading straight for Bai Chen's brow.

Bai Chen's expression changed, and he quickly retreated to dodge, his heart filled with utter shock:
"Who are you? How do you possess such power?"

Lin Yang clearly only appeared to be at the Nirvana Realm, but when he made a move, he actually made Lin Yang feel immense pressure.

Bai Chen couldn't help but be shocked.

Not only Bai Chen, but Zhao Yuan, who was trying to escape, and Bai Xiuyuan, who was trying to stop Zhao Yuan, were also taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Bai Xiuyuan naturally didn't recognize Lin Yang either.

But Zhao Yuan knew him.

In the original plan, Lin Yang and Zhao Huoshan would complete their mission and return to the city to evacuate after killing Bai Dan at the mine.

But he never expected Lin Yang to appear here.

Moreover, his first move even showed signs of subtly suppressing Bai Chen.

This greatly alarmed Zhao Yuan!
Can the Nirvana Realm truly defeat a Yuanhe Realm cultivator who is beyond their level?

He couldn't believe it.

But seeing Lin Yang gaining the upper hand in their fight, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

Perhaps Lin Yang really can deal with Bai Chen?

With this thought in mind, Zhao Yuan no longer only thought about escaping.

Lin Yang just needs to be able to restrain Bai Chen.

If we delay a little longer, the elders of the Zhao family will definitely be able to evacuate successfully.

"Bai Xiuyuan, you old bastard, didn't you just try to kill me? Well, try it now and see if you have the ability!"

Zhao Yuan turned around, laughing loudly as he charged towards Bai Xiuyuan. Bai Xiuyuan's face darkened.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not see that the suddenly appearing Lin Yang was Zhao Yuan's accomplice!
"Damn the Zhao family, how could they still have hidden experts?" Bai Xiuyuan cursed inwardly, his eyes blazing with anger.

Now that things had come to this, he understood that not only could he not stop Zhao Yuan today, but he couldn't even stop those Zhao family members who had launched the surprise attack.

The Bai family has suffered a great loss today!
"With such a hidden master in the Zhao family, why would they keep quiet all this time?"

While dealing with Zhao Yuan's attacks, Bai Xiuyuan also had some doubts in his heart.

With such a master in the Zhao family, they shouldn't have had to endure being suppressed by them from the very beginning.

However, he soon figured out some of the things.

Lin Yang is clearly not a member of the Zhao family, and his intervention to help Zhao Yuan today is likely for some other reason.

But none of that matters now.

With Zhao Yuan suddenly gaining such a powerful ally, today's losses are irreversible.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiuyuan felt even angrier.

This was clearly something the Zhao family had planned long ago.

We should take advantage of the help we receive to severely damage the Bai family, and then flee far away.

……

This was different from the fight between Bai Xiuyuan and Zhao Yuan.

Bai Chen's shock intensified.

From the moment Lin Yang made his move, he felt completely suppressed.

He even had a feeling that Lin Yang wouldn't have much trouble killing him, but for some reason, he didn't kill him cleanly and decisively, but instead suppressed him little by little.

This feeling is very frustrating.

Although it seemed that he and Lin Yang were locked in a fierce battle.

But in reality, only he himself knew that he was being suppressed in every way.

Moreover, it was an extremely subtle form of suppression.

There is only one possibility: Lin Yang's strength must far surpass his to achieve such perfect suppression.

This made Bai Chen even more horrified.

He even had a terrible thought.

Lin Yang is deliberately hiding his strength.

He doesn't want others to know his true strength, which is why he maintains this superficial balance.

"You..." Bai Chen wanted to say something.

But Lin Yang didn't give him a chance at all.

Before long, Bai Chen began to suffer injuries.

Lin Yang was also injured.

From an outsider's perspective, the two are evenly matched.

But Bai Chen knew that Lin Yang's injuries were intentional!

He suddenly felt a little scared.

Lin Yang is simply a monster!

He clearly had the strength to kill him, but deliberately held back.

This is clearly like cutting flesh with a dull knife, slowly killing him bit by bit.

Yes.

Bai Chen had a premonition that he was doomed today.

Lin Yang will definitely kill him slowly.

A flicker of despair flashed in Bai Chen's eyes, followed by a hint of madness.

You want to kill me? Not so easy!

Bai Chen roared and began to burn his Dao power.

He was determined to fight.

We must fight with all our might.

Otherwise, death is certain.

Lin Yang's eyes flashed upon seeing this, and he secretly thought it was a pity.

The reason he didn't kill Bai Chen quickly and end the battle was...

They definitely wanted to hide their strength as much as possible.

There's a big difference between quickly taking down a Yuanhe Realm cultivator and taking them down slowly and painstakingly.

Although he had decided to kill Bai Chen, he didn't want Zhao Yuan and the others to see his true strength.

However, Bai Chen was just too perceptive and decisive.

Upon realizing the danger to himself, he burned his Dao power without hesitation.

"If that's the case, then let's leave it at that."

Lin Yang no longer hesitated. With the Flower in the Realm and the Silver Dragon Spear working together, and with a little bit of the power of the "Realm" secretly used, he swiftly killed Bai Chen before Bai Chen could completely burn his Dao power.

He couldn't give Bai Chen the chance to fully unleash his Dao power.

Once the Dao power is completely burned, it becomes difficult to kill.

"Bai Chen!!"

A cry of pain rang out from Bai Xiuyuan's mouth!
His battle with Zhao Yuan was evenly matched, so he kept a close eye on the fight between Bai Chen and Lin Yang.

He was somewhat shocked when he saw Bai Chen suddenly burn his Dao power.

Because it seemed that Bai Chen and Lin Yang were evenly matched, far from needing to burn their Dao power.

But then he saw Bai Chen being swiftly killed by Lin Yang, which Bai Xiuyuan found unacceptable.

The Bai family finally gained another Yuanhe Realm expert.

But that's how he perished.

Bai Xiuyuan's eyes turned red.

Zhao Yuan was also stunned.

He originally thought that as long as Lin Yang could hold off Bai Chen for a while, that would be enough.

I never expected things to develop so suddenly.

Bai Chen was suddenly forced by Lin Yang to burn his Dao power, and was killed before it was fully ignited.

The change was too rapid.

It was so fast that even he couldn't react in time.

Just a second ago, the two were locked in combat, but the next second, Bai Chen was dead.

This is truly amazing.

Bai Chen's death can only be described as a sudden and violent one.

Zhao Yuan stared at Bai Chen's corpse, then at Lin Yang approaching him and Bai Xiuyuan, his mind racing with thoughts.

However, he quickly suppressed his thoughts.

Lin Yang's displayed strength is astonishing, which is a good thing for the Zhao family.

Because Lin Yang is a guest retainer of the Zhao family!
Even so...

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but look at Bai Xiuyuan, a crazy idea flashing through his mind.

Perhaps we still have a chance to kill Bai Xiuyuan today!

The thought had barely crossed Zhao Yuan's mind when he shuddered and shouted at Lin Yang, "Guest Elder Lin, help me kill that old bastard Bai Xiuyuan!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yuan changed his previous fighting style, unleashing a barrage of Dao techniques and launching a fierce attack.

Bai Xiuyuan's expression changed drastically in an instant.

Then, almost without hesitation, they fled towards Xiwu City.

Furthermore, he immediately ignited his Dao power and desperately fled.

Their speed was so fast that Zhao Yuan had difficulty catching up.

"That old bastard, he's a master at running away, so afraid of dying." Zhao Yuan cursed angrily.

Lin Yang was also somewhat surprised.

Bai Xiuyuan's escape was too decisive.

He was a little surprised. (End of Chapter)
