Swordholder

Chen Yuan's words were earth-shattering.

The eyes of many of the beasts in the arena suddenly turned ferocious, staring at Chen Yuan with murderous intent.

As for the human cultivators, their blood was boiling with passion.

They stared at Chen Yuan, a look of disbelief in their eyes.

In this world, beasts, demons, and evil spirits are arrogant, domineering, and rampant, which has become the norm, and people take it for granted.

After all, the world now belongs to the beast demons, not the humans.

But at this moment, everyone saw that when a human got arrogant, he could be several times stronger than a beast.

"You wretched creature, I'll kill you!"

Lu Sidao didn't care about anything else. He put down his son's corpse and, like a ferocious beast, charged towards Chen Yuan with billowing black energy and overwhelming killing intent.

Chen Guohai immediately stopped the other party, and the two began to fight fiercely.

Immediately, a series of booming sounds erupted, the result of powerful physical contact.

"Chen Guohai, do you really want to be at odds with the Lu family forever?"

Lu Sihai's eyes were bloodshot as he fought Chen Guohai and roared angrily.

"Your son started it!"

Chen Guohai remained expressionless as he fought off the opponent's relentless attacks, shouting, "Your son attacked first; he deserved to die!"

"Moreover, he himself said that if he had slandered my Jianming, he would beg for forgiveness with his life!"

"Moreover, he also stole Young Master Sun's elixirs. Even if my young master doesn't kill him, Young Master Sun will!"

"My young master was merely helping Young Master Sun!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wu's expression changed drastically.

Damn it, how can you drag me into this?

"Second Uncle is right. Although my actions earlier were in self-defense, I also intended to help Young Master Sun. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used such force."

Chen Yuan spoke earnestly, then looked at Sun Wu and smiled, "Young Master Sun, you don't need to thank me. Someone who dares to steal your pills should have died long ago."

Sun Tzu, "......."

"You're talking nonsense! The Sun family won't let my son die! It's all your fault, I'll fight you to the death!"

Lu Sidao had lost his mind and was now attacking Chen Guohai frantically, roaring with a ferocious expression.

Sun Chengzong's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Lu Sidao with a gloomy expression.

"Lu Sidao, you're spouting utter nonsense! You're slandering Lord Sun's impartiality!"

Chen Yuan pointed at Lu Sidao and shouted angrily, "Your son has already committed a capital crime, how could Lord Sun show favoritism and protect him?"

"Well, no wonder your son slandered someone in public. It turns out you're his father! No wonder you raised such a petty thief!"

Chen Yuan's voice was extremely loud, almost a roar, and it echoed throughout the entire Tianqing County.

Countless faces changed, and the entire Lu family glared angrily!

Before Chen Yuan could finish his rant, he looked at Sun Chengzong and shouted, "Lord Sun, this old bastard can't distinguish right from wrong, he'll definitely be a source of trouble in the future. You can't let him get away with this! Hurry up and kill him!"

Sun Chengwu, "..."

I'll fuck your sister!

Sun Chengwu cursed inwardly, his face growing darker and more gloomy!

Countless people stared wide-eyed at the spirited Chen Yuan, their hearts filled with apprehension and bewilderment.

Good guy,

That guy is incredibly talkative!

Those who had witnessed Chen Yuan's ruthless and merciless killing narrowed their eyes and became serious.

This child must not be allowed to live!

"That's enough!"

Finally, Sun Chengwu shouted loudly, and the powerful spiritual energy made many people in the arena have a buzzing sound in their ears.

The next instant, he vanished from his spot and appeared on the battlefield between Chen Guohai and Lu Sidao, forcibly stopping their fight.

"Master Sun!"

Lu Sidao's face was contorted, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Sun Chengzong with a wronged expression.

"Your son slandered Chan Kin-ming and is willing to die a thousand deaths to atone for his sins; these are his own words!"

"As for Chen Yuan, it was your son who struck first. In full view of everyone, he acted in self-defense!"

Sun Chengzong looked at him and said coldly, his voice filled with impatience.

"This matter is settled. Go back immediately and discipline the family members from now on!"

Lu Sidao wanted to speak, but Sun Chengzong threatened him with his eyes, telling him to shut up.

Then, Sun Chengzong looked at Chen Guohai again, and said meaningfully, gritting his teeth, "Hehe, Lord Chen, your Chen family's prodigy is quite something, but remember, too much rigidity leads to breakage."

"Then there's no need for Lord Sun to worry about it. My family will take care of my disciple."

Chen Guohai spoke indifferently, then glared at Chen Yuan, who had a smile on his lips, and said, "Let's go, hurry back."

"Yes, Second Uncle."

Chen Yuan nodded obediently and led Li Wei and his group back happily.

This contrasted sharply with the gloomy faces of the Lu family members and the sinister eyes of the creatures around them.

Especially the beastmen, who couldn't stand the humans being so arrogant, all looked at the Lu family and felt that they had disgraced the beastmen.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Looking at the crowded people, Sun Chengzong roared, his face extremely gloomy.

He had no choice but to forcefully end this situation earlier.

With Chen Guohai around, Lu Sidao can forget about killing Chen Yuan.

Even if he were to take action himself, it probably wouldn't work.

Many high-ranking members of the Chen family must be keeping a close eye on things from the shadows.

If he wants to arrest Chen Yuan, he needs a legitimate reason.

But they didn't have a single reason.

Whatever Chen Yuan does, it's all based on reason.

If it were any other human, they would have simply killed the beastmen without even asking whether the other party was in the right or not.

Because they are the reason.

Unfortunately, behind Chen Yuan is the Chen family!

If you want to kill someone openly and legitimately, you need a justifiable reason.

The farce ended just like that, and many people dispersed with sighs of regret and deep shock.

Before long, the events that had occurred here spread at an alarming speed, causing a huge uproar.

"What? The Chen family actually possesses Heavenly Grade pills? And one of them is even a Saint Grade pill?"

"My God, could the Chen family have a Saint-level alchemist? How is that possible?"

······

Many people are questioning whether the Chen family has a Saint Alchemist.

A Saint Alchemist is a super alchemist who can refine Saint-grade pills.

However, soon, news spread from the Chen family that the pills in Chen Yuan's possession were obtained from a secret realm within the ruins of gods and demons!

The news spread quickly and caused another huge sensation.

People were skeptical.

But more people tended to believe the news.

"No wonder the Chen family is so protective of Chen Yuan. They've only just found him, and they're already eager to make him their young master? It's all because of the elixir!"

"So, that so-called secret realm contains a great treasure."

······

······

More people's eyes lit up with excitement.

How important must a secret realm be if it can yield sacred-grade elixirs?

Therefore, even something as significant as Chen Yuan killing Lu Zhiyuan became less of a concern because of that secret realm.

Many people visited the Chen family, some wanting to buy the elixir.

Some also wanted to know the physical location of the secret realm from Chen Yuan.

But Chen Qingcang turned all these guests away.

This attitude, far from stopping people from coming, actually attracted even more cultivators, who gathered in front of the palm-shaped lake at the Chen family's mountain gate, exuding an air of determination to never give up.

------

The Chen family.

Middle Finger Peak, the back mountain.

Inside an elegant courtyard.

Chen Qingcang and Chen Yuan sat facing each other.

A Go board is placed on the table.

The two of them leisurely played chess while sipping fragrant tea.

Nuomi, resting her chin on her hands on the table, watched with a bored expression as the old man and the young man played their game, one piece at a time.

At this moment, Chen Guohai walked in, his face bitter. He looked at the two chessboards, and finally his gaze fell on Chen Qingcang's face. He said bitterly:

"Father, several groups of people have arrived, and the ones that come later are becoming more and more influential. If this continues, our Chen family will become the target of everyone's criticism."

As the words fell, Chen Qingcang glanced at him, then looked at Chen Yuan, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Boy, are those pills you have really from some divine or demonic ruin?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and decided that he shouldn't hide anything from the old man in front of him.

So he slowly placed a pill in his palm.

He then unleashed his devouring power.
