I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

The sky above the mountains about a hundred miles from the Chen family's homeland.

Space distorted slightly, and a dark golden figure stepped directly out of nothingness.

It was the Yaren Dragon Beast that arrived here first through the Qingqing Xuanjie spiritual power.

Its massive body was hidden in the shadows of the clouds.

The dark golden dragon eyes coldly locked onto the crimson streak of light below, which was fleeing in panic and whose aura was obviously disordered and weak.

This person was none other than Chen Dai, who had suffered considerable injuries.

In his previous battle with Lin Che, Chen Dai's natal magic weapon was damaged, his vital essence was greatly depleted, and his physical body was also seriously injured.

At this moment, all he wanted was to escape back to his clan's territory as soon as possible, treat his injuries, and then make further plans.

His mind was consumed by fear and resentment, and his vigilance had dropped to its lowest level.

In addition, they harbored a glimmer of hope regarding Yan Shuming's sudden appearance and "mediation".

He never expected that the real deadly threat would not come from behind him, but was already waiting for him in front of him.

The Yaren Dragon Beast hovered silently, its aura perfectly concealed, blending seamlessly with its surroundings, without revealing even a trace of killing intent.

Its vengeful resentment, stemming from its bloodline supernatural powers, had already locked onto Chen Dai the moment he fled Shattered Star Lake.

The moment Chen Dai entered this pre-arranged "hunting ground" without any precautions, and his condition plummeted to its lowest point.

The Yareblade Beast has moved!

There was no roar, no gathering of power, only the purest, most concentrated killing intent erupting!

Within its dark golden dragon eyes, it seemed as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood were emerging.

A terrifying and ferocious sword intent originating from the ancient ferocious beast Yazi, which specifically breaks through protective qi and directly severs the very essence of the soul, instantly locked onto Chen Dai!

The next moment, a phantom of a dragon-shaped giant blade, hundreds of feet long and composed entirely of condensed, solidified dark golden Geng metal aura and indestructible sword intent, appeared.

God-killing blade!

The most powerful innate killing god of the Yarendramon!

A sudden slash erupted from the void in front of the Yaren Dragon Beast!

Wherever the giant blade passed, it left only a dark trail!

Before Chen Dai could even react, the dark gold dragon blade had already ignored the distance of hundreds of feet and slashed down on him!

"puff--!"

A faint, almost inaudible thud.

Chen Dai's fleeing figure suddenly froze, and a trace of bewilderment could still be seen on his face.

Immediately, a very thin golden ray of light appeared simultaneously between his brows, chest, and dantian, running from front to back.

Inside his body, the dim golden core shattered into several pieces with a "crack," then transformed into the purest essence and dissipated.

The protective aura around his body instantly extinguished, and all vitality and spiritual energy dissipated in an instant, like a candle flame extinguished by a gale.

A newly promoted Golden Core cultivator, once nominally the strongest in Chuyang City, has fallen!

The body, having lost all its strength, fell helplessly into the forest below.

Having landed a successful blow, the Yaren Dragon Beast did not pause for a moment, nor did it even glance at the falling corpse.

The dark golden figure vanished into thin air, leaving not a trace, as if it had never existed.

Before long, a white streak of light tore through the sky and arrived at the location at high speed.

It was Yan Shuming, the city lord of Chuyang City, who had rushed over at full speed after sensing something was wrong.

However, all he saw was Chen Dai's corpse, which was devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations.

Yan Shuming's face turned ashen.

His divine sense swept over every inch of land and every breath within a radius of hundreds of miles like a tidal wave.

Apart from the lingering, rapidly dissipating aura of death emanating from Chen Dai and the slight residual fluctuations of the shattered golden core, there was nothing else.

He couldn't find any clear trace of the "murderer"!

That deadly blade intent came quickly and went even faster, so clean and swift that it was chilling.

He slowly descended and carefully examined Chen Dai's body and the surrounding environment, his brows furrowing more and more as he looked.

The lingering intent of the blade at the wound was pure and fierce, carrying an ancient and savage aura of metal.

The attacker's timing, assessment of Chen Dai's condition, and the power and stealth of the strike were all top-notch, making him no ordinary person.

"Really...it's someone else?" Yan Shuming murmured to himself, his heart filled with a mixture of doubt and anger.

He initially suspected that Lin Che had secretly laid a trap.

But the unfamiliar and powerful residual sword intent before him made him waver.

If the Lin family truly had a second Golden Core cultivator with such terrifying combat power, how could the Lin family be so low-key?

With a grim face, he waved his hand and collected Chen Dai's body and belongings.

He took one last deep look at the silent forest, then his figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light as he sped towards Chuyang City, his expression extremely solemn.

……

In just two days, the series of dramatic changes that occurred in the territory of Chuyang City became known, discussed, and spread among more and more cultivators.

First, Chen Dai quietly broke through to the Golden Core stage and, with the force of thunder, unified the Zhou, Li, and Sun families, which had established their foundations, shaking the entire city.

Immediately following this was the Chen family's fierce attack on the Lin family, which had also developed rapidly in recent years but remained quite low-key;

Even though many low-level cultivators dared not approach the battlefield.

But the terrifying pressure emanating from the distant horizon, which made even the soul tremble, and the sea of ​​fire that turned half the sky red, along with the earth-shattering energy fluctuations, were all present.

All of this made them truly feel the terror of battles at the Golden Core level.

I realized just how vast the gap was between myself and that level.

However, just as the rogue cultivators were trying to remain calm, believing that Chuyang City was about to enter a new era dominated by the Chen family.

While pondering how to deal with this new overlord in the future.

The latest, even more explosive news left them speechless, almost doubting their own ears!

"What?! Say that again?! Golden Core cultivator Chen Dai... has fallen?!"

"Absolutely true! My seventh maternal uncle's third nephew works in the city lord's mansion; the information is absolutely reliable!"

"My God! That was a Golden Core cultivator! Wasn't he just formed his core, at the height of his power and glory? How... how could he just disappear like that? What on earth happened?"

"I heard it was Lin Che, the patriarch of the Lin family, who also broke through to the Core Formation stage during the battle! The two fought a great battle, and Master Chen... was no match for him!"

"Hiss—! The Lin family patriarch has also reached the Golden Core stage? And he even killed True Person Chen? This...this Lin family has been hiding their strength far too well! That True Person Lin is so powerful? He was able to kill someone of the same level right after breaking through?"

"Wait, it seems... it seems that it wasn't Master Lin who killed him personally."

"There are rumors that after Chen Zhenren fled, he was ambushed by another mysterious Golden Core swordsman a hundred miles away from the Chen family's territory and died on the spot! It seems that the one who made the move... was someone else!"

"What?! There are other Golden Core experts involved? When did the waters in Chuyang City get so deep?"

"Regardless of who killed him, Master Chen's demise is a fact! This is going to be interesting; the Chen family is probably finished! The Lin family... is likely to rise to prominence!"

Chuyang City, the teahouses and taverns of Tongxin Market, the streets of the market, the cultivation caves...

Everywhere was filled with incredulous exclamations and heated discussions.

The congratulatory gifts that various parties had originally planned to send to the Chen family were quietly put away.

They never expected that before the Golden Elixir Banquet of Master Chen would arrive, they would hear the news of his demise first.

However, everyone thought again that this gift would not go to waste, since there would be Master Lin's Golden Elixir Banquet later.
