I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

"Alas... my Chen family, perhaps... will never rise again."

Chen Mingfei stopped and looked at the somewhat desolate road in front of him, letting out a long and bitter sigh.

In just a few days, he seemed to have aged decades.

His original dignity and sharpness as the head of the clan have completely vanished.

Instead, his face showed signs of exhaustion and weariness.

His brows were furrowed into a deep frown, and his eyes were bloodshot.

His eyes revealed a sense of bewilderment after surviving a disaster and a sense of uncertainty about the future, as if he had lost all sense of direction.

Originally, he thought that with the help of his father Chen Dai's successful formation of the Golden Core, the Chen family would soar to great heights.

He will completely dominate Chuyang City, and the family's century-old foundation will be pushed to unprecedented glory in his hands.

Who could have predicted that the situation would change so drastically in just a few days!

With the father gone, the wealth accumulated over generations was forced to be sold off hastily, and the entire clan had to flee like stray dogs...

This huge drop in status and the blow almost broke his mind.

Chen Mingyi, who was closely following him, also looked ashen-faced, but there was still a trace of unwillingness and a stubborn resilience in his eyes.

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and whispered words of comfort:

"Brother, don't say such discouraging things. Our core members of the Chen family are still alive, our bloodline is not extinguished, and our foundation remains. As long as people are alive, there is hope!"

"When we find a safe place to recuperate and rebuild our strength, we may one day rise again and make a comeback! At that time, we will... we will definitely comfort Father's spirit in heaven!"

Behind them followed dozens of bewildered and terrified clansmen.

These are the true core and future of the Chen family, the second, third, and even fourth generation members who are relatively talented or have important status.

At this moment, their faces were a mixture of relief at escaping danger, sorrow at leaving their homes, and fear of the unknown future.

Many people frequently looked back at the road they had traveled, their eyes filled with nostalgia and reluctance to leave the old site of Chuyang City.

"The Lin family... would never have imagined that we would be so decisive, much less that we would infiltrate another family's southward-bound merchant caravan and, under their cover, leave the territory of Chuyang City unnoticed!"

A young member of the Chen family whispered to his companion, his tone tinged with a sense of relief and pride at surviving such a close call.

"By the time they realize that my Chen family's estate is already deserted, they'll probably be green with rage!"

"That's right!" another person chimed in, trying to boost morale.

"As long as we successfully enter Burning Bone City, we can use the resources we brought to keep a low profile and slowly look for opportunities. The Southern Region is vast and boundless, with numerous sects and powerful families. Even if the Lin family hates us, finding us in this vast sea of ​​people is like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"Yes! A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years! When we find an opportunity, improve our cultivation, and our family is restored, we will surely return to Chuyang City and make that Lin family... pay for their blood debt!"

Some people gritted their teeth and swore in a low voice, their eyes burning with hatred.

However, before these words of mutual encouragement could be finished, Chen Mingfei, who was walking at the front of the group, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Just as Chen Mingyi, who was following closely behind, was about to ask a question, he looked ahead in the direction of his brother's gaze, and in an instant, the blood in his body seemed to freeze!

Not far ahead, at the bend in the road, several figures stood silently, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

The leader stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm and his gaze indifferent.

It was the person they feared most and least wanted to see at that moment—Lin Che, the head of the Lin family and a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator!

Beside him stood a stunningly beautiful woman with an elegant demeanor, and a handsome young man with a sharp gaze and a solid presence, holding a long spear.

Lin Che deliberately concealed all his Golden Core aura and even suppressed his own spiritual energy fluctuations to the level of the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Standing together with Su Wanwan and Lin Xuanjing, at first glance, they looked like an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator team.

He did this precisely to avoid attracting unnecessary attention near the Burning Bone Pass.

Although this place is a border region, it is adjacent to Burning Bone City, and cultivators frequently travel between the two areas, so Foundation Establishment stage cultivators are not uncommon.

As long as there is no intense battle at the Golden Core level or above, and no unusual phenomena or large-scale spiritual energy surges are triggered, it usually will not attract excessive attention from high-level cultivators or official forces in the city.

His goal was to keep this purge under control.

Looking at the group of Chen family cultivators in front of him, whose faces turned deathly pale and whose eyes were filled with despair and disbelief, Lin Che's eyes remained unmoved, and he simply waved his hand lightly.

The space around him distorted slightly, and the massive and oppressive dark golden figure of the Yaren Dragon Beast silently appeared.

However, after it appeared, it also perfectly suppressed its own aura, maintaining it only at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The next moment, a condensed and ferocious aura of war emanated from the Yaren Dragon Beast, rapidly condensing and taking shape in front of it!

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty “soldiers” of different shapes, but all exuding a cold, hard metallic luster and a chilling killing intent, appeared out of thin air!

They are not made of flesh and blood, but are composed of pure Geng metal evil energy. They are about the same height as a human, wearing armor and wielding different weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, and battle axes.

His face was blurred, with only two cold, dark gold flames flickering in his eye sockets.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized and silent, yet they exuded a chilling, menacing aura of battle formation!

It was the divine power of the Yaren Dragon Beast—the Myriad Transformations Dragon Soldier!

Over the years, Lin Che has collected many broken magical artifacts, which he then put into the weapon-forging furnace conjured by the Yaren Dragon Beast's supernatural powers for tempering and purification.

The purpose was to create this unique "Myriad Transformations Dragon Weapon".

These dragon soldiers are essentially a combination of the divine power of the Yaren Dragon Beast and pure metal materials, existing somewhere between a physical entity and an energy body.

It possesses extremely strong physical defense and attack power, and has a certain resistance to most spells.

The five dragon soldiers at the forefront possessed an aura that clearly reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

The remaining dragon soldiers also possessed the strength of the late-stage Qi Refining Realm.

The cost of crafting these dragon soldiers was enormous; the value of the materials used was almost equal to that of training a true Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Lin Che understood that he wanted to further improve the quality and quantity of the dragon soldiers and cultivate higher-level beings.

It seems we'll need to find another place like the Burial Valley Secret Realm, which has a massive amount of high-quality broken magical artifacts or special metal resources.

However, the strength of these dragon soldiers was more than enough to deal with the demoralized and fleeing remnants of the Chen family.

More importantly, these dragon soldiers primarily fight by using their powerful physical strength and physical weapons in close combat.

Although it may trigger some Geng metal evil energy during battle, it will not leave too many traces of magic belonging to the "spirit beast" in battle.

This is crucial for Lin Che's attempt to cultivate a new image of the "Lin family's expertise in spear techniques and battle formations," as well as for concealing the core beast-taming inheritance as much as possible.

He never intended to completely destroy all traces of the battle.

Instead, he needs to leave "traces," but they must be carefully designed and capable of misleading outsiders!

Lin Che nodded slightly to the Yaren Dragon Beast.

A glint flashed in the dark golden eyes of the Yaren Dragon Beast, and the silent command was given.

Those twenty-odd silent Myriad Transformation Dragon Soldiers suddenly moved!

Their steps were steady and swift, without the slightest disorder.

Like a well-trained elite army, they quickly dispersed, forming a tight crescent-shaped encirclement, closing in on the terrified Chen family members ahead.

Throughout the entire process, not a single energy fluctuation belonging to the Golden Core level was revealed.

Only the cold, metallic scraping sound and the uniform clatter of footsteps echoed in the silent pass, adding to the somber atmosphere.

As soon as the battle formation was complete, Lin Xuanjing, who was at the very front of the dragon soldier formation and stood shoulder to shoulder with the five Foundation Establishment dragon soldiers, suddenly took a step forward!

He pointed his Flowing Cloud Jade Spear forward, the tip of the spear emitting a blue light that caused the surrounding air currents to swirl slightly.

The young man's tall and straight figure was like a drawn sword, his eyes sharp as lightning, firmly locking onto Chen Mingfei, Chen Mingyi and others in the crowd.

A clear, fighting spirit-filled voice, like a thunderclap, resounded in the hearts of the Chen family members:

"The Lin family, Lin Xuanjing is here!"

"Chen family—your end has come!"
