Serving as a Jinyiwei, starting from plundering the swordsmanship talent

Chapter 241 The Chosen One? Not bad palm strike, perfect for blowing wind.
"Target: Lin Chen!

Cultivation level: Late stage of the Innate Realm!
Talent Attributes: Blessed by Heaven (Gold), Concealed Breath (Blue),

One gold and one blue? Although there are only two talent attributes, one of them is a rare gold quality.

Moreover, does such a talent attribute indicate that he is a chosen one?

Ye Liuyun had obviously witnessed the Chosen One before; after all, that's how he acquired the Chosen One attribute.

and.

Lin Chen? This name really does sound like the chosen one.

As if possessed by an innate special sense, Lin Chen, sitting disheveled in the cell, seemed to sense that someone was watching him.

Sensing something, she looked up and her eyes met Ye Liuyun's.

only.

Lin Chen's eyes didn't show any fear when he saw Ye Liuyun, unlike the other prisoners.

Instead, he curiously began to examine Ye Liuyun.

That's quite interesting.

"Who is this?"

Looking in Lin Chen's direction.

Ye Liuyun then asked Zhao Yizheng, who was standing next to him, a question.

"Uh!"

Zhao Yizheng definitely doesn't recognize him.

Although he was a member of the Ministry of Justice in charge of managing the imperial prison, Zhao Yizheng might not come to such a dirty and chaotic place even once every year or two.

And even if they come over.

That's just a routine visit; they'll come in for a quick look and definitely won't stay long.

As for the prisoners in the cell, they were naturally even less familiar with them.

Fortunately.

The cell boss in charge of this floor seemed to notice Zhao Yizheng's unusual behavior and quickly stepped forward, respectfully addressing Ye Liuyun.

"Sir, this prisoner's name is Lin Chen. He was originally the son of a wealthy merchant family named Lin, but due to some unexpected events in his family, he was arrested and brought here!"

"Tell me carefully!"

An accident that could happen to the chosen one must be no ordinary event.

Just right.

Anyway, Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry; the talent attribute wasn't going anywhere.

I'm curious how a chosen one was imprisoned in the imperial jail.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was curious about such things.

Zhao Yizheng, who was standing to the side, quickly gave the jailer a wink, indicating that Ye Liuyun should do whatever pleased him.

The jailer wasn't stupid either.

Although they didn't recognize who Ye Liuyun was, their master's attitude already spoke volumes.

He dared not offer any objections, but instead bowed respectfully and began to explain to Ye Liuyun.

"Is such that!"

original.

The Lin family is considered a prominent and wealthy family within the Great Qian Dynasty. Although they are not as rich as a country, they can certainly provide for Lin Chen's livelihood for the rest of his life.

But in this day and age, no matter how rich a businessman is, he can't compete with power.

Therefore, the head of the Lin family began to plan how to cultivate a powerful martial artist for his family.

If a powerful martial artist were to emerge from the family, the Lin family's status would certainly be even stronger than before.

and so.

The wealthy Lin family patriarch bought a top-grade martial arts manual at a merchant guild auction.

Things are simple after that.

It can only be said that the Lin family head underestimated the cruelty of the martial world.

Many martial arts practitioners may not treat you badly just because you have a lot of money, but if you possess top-notch martial arts skills or a rare magical artifact, and you don't have the strength to protect it.

That's in the eyes of many martial arts practitioners.

What's the difference between this and a lamb to the slaughter?

Not only were the top-grade martial arts techniques stolen, but the Lin family was also completely looted, with no one surviving. However, Lin Chen, as the chosen one, would naturally not die at such a time.

Not only that.

Having survived, Lin Chen somehow acquired extraordinary skills and successfully avenged the Lin family.

"How could a prisoner like this be thrown into the dungeon?"

Logically speaking, someone in this situation should have been caught by the Imperial Guards, right?

"Uh!"

The jailer hesitated for a moment, unsure whether he should speak.

But after noticing Zhao Yizheng's impatient look, he quickly lowered his voice and continued.

"Back then, there were many people who coveted the Lin family's business, including the son of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice!"

In short, the son of the Vice Minister of Justice was also involved in the massacre of the Lin family. Since Lin Chen successfully avenged himself, he naturally killed the son of the Vice Minister of Justice as well.

Actually.

This was at the special request of the Vice Minister of Justice, who ordered Lin Chen to be imprisoned on the last level of the imperial prison.

The jailers here tortured Lin Chen every day, but they didn't let him die directly, so that Lin Chen would suffer every day.

Unfortunately.

The Ministry of Justice has long been rotten; if the higher-ups are like that, the lower-ups are naturally the same.

The jailers and guards in the prison haven't laid a hand on any prisoners in a long time, since no one is going to come and check anyway.

As long as the prisoners don't escape, isn't that enough?
Since we're both going to work anyway, wouldn't it be better to just slack off all day long?

Only possible.

Everything is cause and effect, if only the Vice Minister of Justice had visited Lin Chen in prison a few more times, he wouldn't be living so comfortably.

But think about it.

As the chosen one.

Given that one is blessed with destiny and good fortune, it's not surprising that such a situation would occur.
"Speaking of which, back then Lin Chen's cultivation had reached the peak of the Acquired Realm, and he was almost about to break through to the Innate Realm. In order to capture Lin Chen, our Ministry of Justice lost quite a few people."

When this matter was brought up...

There was still a hint of resentment in the jailer's tone.

after all.

The Vice Minister of Justice at the time, in order to ensure that Lin Chen could be imprisoned, did not notify the Embroidered Uniform Guard at all.

After all, if the Embroidered Uniform Guard were to take action, the person would very likely be taken to the Imperial Prison.

Even knowing the cruelty of the Zhaoyu prison, the Vice Minister of Justice probably still felt more at ease bringing the arrested person to his own territory.

"Perfect ending the day after tomorrow?"

When I heard this...

Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow noticeably.

According to the system's detection, Lin Chen's cultivation level has reached the late stage of the Innate Realm, and he is only one small realm away from the Grandmaster Realm.

and so.

Did the other party cultivate to this level after being captured and imprisoned in this dungeon?

"Yes!"

The jailer didn't seem to think anything of it.

Instead, he nodded and said something along the way.

"It's quite a coincidence. When Lin Chen was first brought in, this floor of the prison was full of people, but there happened to be a prisoner who had reached the age limit and died, freeing up a spot!"

Even now, when this matter is brought up again...

The jailer also felt it was quite a coincidence.

The person died as soon as Lin Chen arrived, as if it was destined to make room for Lin Chen.

",,,"

Ye Liuyun didn't speak, but nodded thoughtfully instead.

His gaze was fixed on Lin Chen's position.

But it seemed to be able to pass through Lin Chen and look behind him at the ground hidden by straw.

Who was the original owner of this cell?

"Then you'll be incredibly famous!"

It was, after all, a prison, so it was impossible that it hadn't imprisoned any notorious figures.

"The person originally imprisoned in this cell was a notorious villain from the martial arts world a hundred years ago. He could cultivate rapidly by drinking human blood. It is said that it took a lot of effort to capture him and imprison him here!"

"But more than a hundred years have passed! Even the most powerful demon cannot withstand the passage of time!"

A great demon at the Grandmaster level.

He died of old age in prison, which in itself was a kind of torture!

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun's eyes became much more enlightened.

He truly is a chosen one.

The annihilation of an entire family is almost becoming the standard for the chosen one.

He encountered a fortuitous event, achieved mastery in his cultivation, and returned to seek revenge.

After being captured and imprisoned, he discovered the cultivation techniques left behind by his predecessors and continued to practice them.

I am afraid.

If it weren't for me, Lin Chen would probably continue to cultivate peacefully in this prison until he reaches a certain level of cultivation, at which point he would leave the prison.

From now on, birds can fly freely in the sky, and fish can leap freely in the sea!
It's just a pity that she ran into me!
That's right.

Ye Liuyun guessed that the demon who had been under his control before, although dead, must have inscribed his cultivation technique in the prison cell.

Lin Chen, who had moved in, happened to see it.

This is a classic tactic used by the chosen one.

Without extraordinary encounters, how can one become the chosen one?

"Commander Ye, why don't we arrest him first?"

Zhao Yizheng, who was standing to the side, noticed that Ye Liuyun seemed to be very interested in this Lin Chen.

He then wondered whether he should capture Lin Chen and execute him first.

"Not in a hurry!"

Good food is worth the effort.

Besides Lin Chen, there are several purple-quality talent attributes here, we can't let them go to waste!

"Let's leave this for last and start with the others first!"

"understand!"

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Zhao Yizheng naturally dared not have any objections and immediately nodded repeatedly.

He then gave the jailer next to him a look.

"???"

The jailer was clearly not quite sure what Zhao Yizheng meant at first.

"Didn't you understand Commander Ye's meaning? Bring out the other prisoners and execute them!"

"Execution?"

To be honest, the jailer originally thought that these were just prisoners, which is why he came to check on them. He never expected that they would be executed.

The workload increased dramatically.

"Ok?"

Zhao Yizheng stared at him directly.

Even if the jailer had doubts, he could only keep them to himself at this moment.

They quickly called for reinforcements to begin bringing the prisoners out of the cells one by one and then begin the executions.

Not a moment.

From the last level of the prison, a continuous stream of screams began to echo.

,,,

"How is this going?"

He watched as prisoners were dragged out one by one, without saying a word, and then beat them after tying them to wooden frames.

And it's the kind of fight that goes on until someone dies.

If one dies, the next one takes its place.

This situation caused Lin Chen, who was originally quite casual, to frown.

A strange sense of unease began to creep into my heart.

Just as Ye Liuyun thought.

After Lin Chen was captured here again, he did indeed discover the bloodthirsty demonic art left behind by the previous prisoner.

Originally, the plan was to wait until he reached the perfect state of the Innate Realm here before escaping and using the characteristics of the Bloodthirsty Demon Art to break through to the Grandmaster Realm in one fell swoop.

I just never expected that I would encounter something like this when I was just one small realm away from reaching my goal.

especially.

Lin Chen noticed that Ye Liuyun's eyes seemed to be constantly observing him.

Although I don't know who Ye Liuyun is, I can tell from the humble manner of the people around me towards him.

This person must be of even higher status and be the mastermind behind this matter.

I originally thought that the executions were meant to elicit some answers, but now, not a single question has been asked, and more and more prisoners are dying. So, this is just pure torture for pleasure?

"What kind of fetish is this?"

Even Lin Chen found it unbelievable.

This is truly the first time I've ever seen such a peculiar hobby.

Although it's not my turn yet.

But at this rate, it should be quick, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt somewhat uneasy, but his eyes gradually calmed down.

afraid?
As a chosen one blessed with good fortune, Lin Chen naturally had nothing to fear.

Originally, I planned to cultivate until I reached the peak of the Innate Realm before leaving, but judging from the current situation, I may have to leave here a little earlier.

The thought of leaving...

Lin Chen was still somewhat excited!

Having avenged my great grudge, and with the bloodthirsty demonic art I've learned, I believe I'll be able to break through to the Grandmaster realm soon after leaving this place. At that time, won't I be able to do whatever I want?
Furthermore, it is not impossible to restore the Lin family's former glory.

,,,

Just as Lin Chen was excitedly lost in his daydreams...

Ye Liuyun looked at the talent entries he was constantly collecting, and his expression became more and more satisfied.

The last level of the prison doesn't have many cells or many prisoners, but the quality of the talent attributes is quite good. Even though they are all broken down into experience points, the amount of experience is still considerable.

"call!"

soon.

Seeing the prisoner no longer breathing, the jailer in charge of the execution stopped whipping him, panting heavily.

It's been a long time since I've had this much workload.

At first, I even forgot how to crack the whip, but fortunately I got used to it and didn't lose face.

"grown ups!"

"Ok!"

Seeing the jailer's reaction, the head jailer nodded slightly. All the other prisoners had been dealt with, leaving only Lin Chen.

The jailer looked at Zhao Yizheng with a request for instructions.
"continue!"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun hadn't said anything.

Zhao Yizheng didn't waste any words, waved his hand, and indicated that he could bring out the last one, Lin Chen.

"Yes, my lord!"

The jailer responded knowingly.

He then waved his hand, ordering someone to open Lin Chen's cell door and bring Lin Chen out of the cell.

They came out with the other prisoners.

When he was brought out, Lin Chen remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever, as if he were not the one about to be executed.

"These people must have done this because they followed your instructions!"

Just as he was passing by Ye Liuyun, Lin Chen suddenly spoke up.

He truly is the chosen one of destiny, and is utterly fearless.

"That's right!"

Considering the golden quality of his talent for good fortune, Ye Liuyun did not deny it.

I nodded accordingly.

"What is your purpose in doing this? Is it just to kill for fun?"

I always felt that Ye Liuyun must have some ulterior motive.

After watching for so long, Lin Chen still couldn't figure out what Ye Liuyun's purpose was.

"Any questions?"

Even if I simply kill for pleasure, what's wrong with that?

Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"You've all been captured here, so you must have a lot of killing to deserve this. Instead of keeping you around, we might as well just kill you and save a lot of food!"

",,,"

Lin Chen was speechless.

Perhaps he felt that in all his years, this was the first time he had ever seen someone like Ye Liuyun.

"Perfect timing. Before I leave, I'll deal with a villain like you. It'll make all the time I've spent in this prison worthwhile!"

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen suddenly murmured something under his breath.

Obviously.

Ye Liuyun, who had this kind of fetish, naturally became a major villain in Lin Chen's eyes.

By eliminating Ye Liuyun, I can consider myself to have rid the people of a scourge!

The whispered murmur was very soft, yet it was just enough to reach everyone's ears.

"Ok?"

Even Zhao Yizheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but frown after hearing this.

I was thinking that once I dealt with this last one, the day would be over and I could go home, but I didn't expect this other person to pop up.

"Arrogant! Do you even know who this person in front of you is?"

Not to mention that Lin Chen is currently still in shackles.

Even without these constraints, Zhao Yizheng did not believe that the other party could be a match for Ye Liuyun.

It will probably be resolved very easily!

"Hmph! Then do you know who I am?"

Lin Chen gave a disdainful snort. At this point, there was no need to pretend anymore.

While talking.

The protective aura unique to innate martial artists suddenly erupted from Lin Chen's body.

The powerful sound sent the jailers on both sides flying.

"break!"

At the same time, Lin Chen exerted force with both hands, breaking the steel chains binding him.

After doing all this.

Lin Chen didn't rush to make a move; instead, he relaxed and stretched his wrists with a contented expression.

"It feels so good to be free!"

Although he deliberately got himself locked up in this prison, it was so that he could have a quiet place to focus on his cultivation.

Even without these shackles, Lin Chen still felt incredibly happy, his face full of ease.

"you you you!"

Let alone the jailer in charge here.

Even Zhao Yizheng was frightened by Lin Chen's appearance.

He quickly hid behind Ye Liuyun.

Although he was a second-rank official in the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Yizheng himself had no cultivation.

Even if Lin Chen were still at the late stage of the Innate Realm, let alone the perfected stage, he would still be someone Zhao Yizheng could not handle.

"A martial artist with innate abilities? How is this possible!"

The jailer was quite perceptive and immediately recognized the innate qi emanating from Lin Chen.

This is standard equipment for innate martial artists.

But when Lin Chen was captured, shouldn't he still be a martial artist who has acquired his skills? Moreover, before a martial artist like Lin Chen is imprisoned, there are people who specifically sever his tendons and ligaments to prevent him from continuing to cultivate.

otherwise.

If everyone were like Lin Chen, how could the Heavenly Prison possibly hold them all?

"Hahaha! I have to thank you all for this!"

"Without the place you provided, I really wouldn't have been able to concentrate on my cultivation so intently!"

Staying in the Heavenly Prison, with someone delivering meals every day and no worries about being disturbed, is there a more comfortable place to cultivate?

As for the issue of meridians...

Lin Chen had already restored it thanks to the unique nature of his own cultivation technique, but no one knew it.

Good fortune is upon you.

If you can't even do something like this, what kind of chosen one are you?

"I originally planned to leave after breaking through my cultivation level again, but I didn't expect to encounter a villain like you who enjoys killing. I'll kill you before I leave, and I can say that I've rid the world of a scourge!"

Zhao Yizheng was initially a little scared.

But after hearing what Lin Chen said...

Zhao Yizheng, on the contrary, was no longer afraid.

That's right, with Ye Liuyun here, what's there to be afraid of?

Innate talent? In front of a Grandmaster like Ye Liuyun, innate talent is nothing!
"Don't put on such a righteous front!"

Ye Liuyun smiled indifferently.

Regarding the changes on site.

Ye Liuyun's expression remained largely unchanged throughout; he had anticipated this, so what was there to be surprised about?

"If you were truly a righteous person, you would have acted the moment you saw me make a move, instead of waiting until now. In the end, you're just a selfish person!"

I was just about to find something I didn't like.

Lin Chen had already made his move, instead of waiting until the knife was about to fall on him.

People always like to save face for themselves.

"Humph!"

His face turned cold.

Although it was indeed as Ye Liuyun said, he was tortured into saying it directly.

It still made Lin Chen feel like he had lost face.

"Let's see how long you can keep up this act!"

In Lin Chen's view, when he saw himself unleash his innate realm cultivation...

Ye Liuyun's reaction should have been the same as everyone else's, showing the same fear, but his calm demeanor throughout made Lin Chen very dissatisfied.

It's been so many years since I last made a move.

There is absolutely no room for underestimation.

While talking.

Lin Chen activated his internal energy technique and brought his palms down towards Ye Liuyun.

"Buzz!"

A violent gust of air swept in from the ground, and the internal force transformed into a dragon, blasting towards Ye Liuyun's position.

The scale of the operation was quite impressive.

It seems that the cultivation technique Lin Chen practices is quite sophisticated.

Although he is at the late stage of the Innate Realm, the power he unleashes is no weaker than that of a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm.

"Oh!"

The billowing dust enveloped Ye Liuyun's figure.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, believing he had already dealt with the other party.

But I noticed.

Zhao Yizheng, who was originally hiding behind Ye Liuyun, showed no worry on his face. Instead, he looked at him with a gaze similar to that of someone looking at a dead man.

This performance made Lin Chen frown.

really.

After the dust gradually settled...

Ye Liuyun's unharmed figure disappeared from Lin Chen's sight.

"How can it be!"

The pupils suddenly shrank.

Even if they weren't killed in one blow, they shouldn't be completely unharmed!
"not bad!"

Ye Liuyun didn't seem to care.

Instead, he casually waved his hand, dispersing the dust in front of him.

Then he said with a smile.

"Your palm strike is impressive. It might have a different effect when you use it to blow a breeze on a hot day!"

Although Ye Liuyun had a smile on his face, his words made Lin Chen clench his fists tightly.
