……

The Lin family mansion had already been set ablaze with grief and indignation, but the flames were also mixed with a chilling cold.

When the Lin family's elite troops discovered the mess at another training ground of the Green Bamboo Sword Master Lin Wuyou (to hone the Green Bamboo Sword Intent) – a place hidden deep beneath the abandoned observatory –...

The marks are chilling: they are not simple fights, but rather the imprints of struggle and confinement.

The walls were covered with sharp sword marks, some inches deep, crisscrossing each other. Each mark carried the unique aloofness of the "Green Bamboo Sword Intent," clearly indicating that His Majesty was trying to break free from some kind of constraint.

Scattered on the ground were several fragments of black crystal, shimmering with a faint, eerie light—the Lin family's Soul Examiner recognized them at a glance as "Soul-Binding Obsidian," originating from the Abyss Mine and capable of briefly interfering with the soul power of high-level Soul Masters.

Even more bizarre were the few twisted, broken, dark gold chains left in the corner. They were made of neither gold nor iron and were engraved with unfamiliar runes that exuded a chilling aura.

"This was no ordinary battle... The old patriarch was... ambushed! Imprisoned!" A senior elder of the Lin family said, his voice trembling.

This conclusion, like a poisoned ice pick, instantly pierced the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

A titled Douluo, the pillar of the empire, was ambushed and captured (or at least temporarily imprisoned) in his own most secret lair.
The implications of this sent chills down everyone's spine.

In such a situation, either the opponent is a Title Douluo, otherwise a Soul Douluo could not do it; or his body has already reached the point where he is in imminent danger, just like those four unconscious princes.

The patriarch, Lin Yu (son of Lin Wuyou, the Sword Master of Qinghuang), had bloodshot eyes. It was not just anger, but a mixture of horror, pain, and a violent feeling of being utterly offended.

His soul power boiled and compressed uncontrollably, forming a visible, sharp vortex around him that silently cut deep grooves into the stone slabs beneath his feet.

"Investigate! At all costs! For every single clue!"

His voice was as if it had been pulled from a deep, icy pool, each word carrying a chilling killing intent.

The search for clues was like groping in endless darkness. The origin of the black crystal fragments remained a mystery, and the runes on the dark gold chains were undecipherable.

However, the Lin family's vast intelligence network, which connects with dozens of other prominent families, is not just for show.

One detail alerted the core members: a "small incident" had occurred at the infamous "Bone Arena" of the underworld—one of their most ruthless and mysterious gladiators, "Shadowbinder" Karano, had mysteriously disappeared during a routine exhibition match that evening.

The famous man, who always carried several special pieces of equipment with him—including a set of binding chains supposedly forged from rare dark gold and engraved with strange runes—also disappeared.

"Shadow Binder" Karano, a Soul Saint, is renowned in the underworld for his mastery of various binding and confinement-type soul tools and his mysterious movement techniques. There are even rumors that he can briefly interfere with the flow of soul power of high-level soul masters.

In the underground arena, there are no restrictions; as long as you can win, that's all that matters. Life and death are commonplace.

More importantly, it has been vaguely mentioned that Carano seems to have an unusual "interest" or "knowledge" of ancient ruins (similar to observatories) that possess stellar energy.

This is no coincidence!
A cold light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, "Skeleton Arena!"
He practically spat out the name through gritted teeth.

Whether Marcus was involved or not is not important. What is important is that the "Shadowbinder" Karano is very likely one of the key executors in the ambush of his father!

The Bone Arena—at least those in the know!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yu personally led the core of his family, the "Azure Sword Guards," straight towards the deathly paradise built from countless skeletons. When they descended upon the eerie, massive archway of the arena, carrying a killing intent capable of freezing souls, the clamorous frenzy within fell into a deathly silence, as if it had been choked off.

"Marcus!" Lin Yu's voice swept over everyone's hearts, and the pressure of a high-level Soul Douluo was released without reservation, causing the hanging skull lamps to shake and collide wildly.

"Hand over 'Shadowbinder' Karano! Hand over everything he took! Explain yourself! Now! Otherwise, this place will be reduced to dust!"

Marcus rose from the bone throne, his massive body flashing with a hint of surprise and annoyance across his rock-like face.

He weighed the blood-stained leg bone in his hand, a sneer laced with a hint of bravado: "The Lin family, what arrogance! Carano? That disobedient bastard was long ago fed to the cave worms! All I have here are bones, stakes, and... fists!"

He tried to cover it up with arrogance, but who is Lin Yu?
That sense of surprise and anger was as clear as a firefly in the dark to Lin Yu, whose perception was at the level of a Soul Douluo.

"Looks like you've chosen to be buried with me!" Lin Yu's patience instantly vanished!

Without further ado, he pointed his right hand like a sword and slashed across the air at the core area supporting the massive dome of the arena—an energy node with a relatively weak structure (the Lin family had already ascertained the arena's structural diagram).
"Hiss—Buzz!!!"

A beam of cyan light, condensed to its extreme, transformed into an extremely refined, high-speed rotating spiral sword energy drill. With a piercing shriek and terrifying penetrating power, it struck that vulnerable point with unparalleled precision!
"Boom—Crack!!!"

The hit node shattered instantly, and in the chain reaction, the massive stone dome groaned under the strain, as large chunks of rock and decorative skeletons rained down like a storm.

The entire central area of ​​the arena instantly descended into a chaotic and devastating inferno, filled with screams, cries of agony, and deafening trampling sounds.

"Search!" Lin Yu's command was as cold as a knife.

Like tigers released from their cages, the Azure Sword Guards charged into the chaotic crowd, braving the falling boulders and billowing dust, their target being Marcus's throne area and the secret chamber where he might be.

A bloody battle erupted instantly amidst the ruins and smoke!

In the chaos, a young member of the Lin family, Lin Feng, was hit in the calf by flying debris while dodging a falling rock. In excruciating pain, he staggered and fell into a pile of collapsed rubble mixed with broken bone fragments and stones.

He struggled to get up, but his palms were cut by sharp bone spurs.

Just as he gritted his teeth and propped himself up, his ankle accidentally snagged a piece of dark gold chain that was half broken off and protruding from under the rubble.

This is the same type of restraining chain that appeared in the underground level of the observatory.

Lin Feng was shocked. Ignoring the pain, he struggled to pry away the rubble and bone fragments that were pressing down on the chains.

Just as he was trying to pull the chain out completely, a small, warm object seemed to be caught on a broken, twisted claw at the end of the chain!
It was half-hidden by chains and grime, and was easily overlooked unless examined closely.

Lin Feng's heart suddenly raced!
With trembling hands, he carefully removed the object from the cold metal hooks, brushing away the thick dust and congealed scabs—half a piece of mutton fat jade lay quietly in his palm.

The jade pendant was broken at the edge, but the warm and smooth jade still radiated a restrained luster in the dim light.

What made Lin Feng's blood almost freeze was that on the broken surface of the jade pendant, there was a faint, almost dissipated, yet incredibly familiar sharp aura of the Green Bamboo Sword Intent. And on the back of the jade pendant, the ancient and intricate relief patterns, half-covered by dirt, were half of the core emblem of the Lin family.

"Here...here! The old patriarch's jade pendant...is caught on the chain!!" Lin Feng roared with all his might.

The roar was like thunder, instantly piercing through the fighting and the rumbling of the collapsing arena!
