Chapter 368 The Price of Betrayal

Lin Chen couldn't sleep, he thought to himself:

"Now, if I want to break through to the fifth level of the Holy Demon Xiaoyao Jue, I need a large amount of spiritual crystals; in addition, I still lack a precious material called 'Nine Sun Grass'. As long as I get that thing, I can step on it." Entering the fifth level of the Holy Demon Xiaoyao Skill. It’s just that this Nine Sun Grass grows in a very cold and dark place, but I can’t get it now that I’m in the Netherworld Abyss.”

The Holy Demon Xiaoyao Jue is divided into five levels, corresponding to the first five levels of the Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Art.

Logically speaking, after reaching the fifth level of the Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Kung Fu, Lin Chen can condense the spiritual embryo and become a strong person in the Golden Body Realm. He can also practice the Qiankun Seven Killing Palm and the Holy Demon Hegemony Body.

However, Lin Chen also knew that it was not an easy task to break through to the fifth level.

First, you need to find a rare natural treasure called "Nine Sun Grass". The harsher and more dangerous the environment in which this grass grows, the better.

Secondly, it is necessary to understand the secret of the fifth level of the Holy Demon Devouring Heaven Creation Technique.

"Alas, this Holy Demon Xiaoyao Jue is too difficult. I have just started and I have to face such tremendous pressure!" Lin Chen sighed.

"Have you reached the fifth level of the Holy Demon Xiaoyao Jue now?" Ye Caidi opened her beautiful eyes and asked curiously.

She knew that the Holy Demon Xiaoyao Jue was very magical, but she didn't know exactly which level Lin Chen had reached. She only knew that the fifth level was difficult to break through.

"Well, it's already the fifth level, but I haven't fully understood the secret of the fifth level yet."

Lin Chen nodded and immediately smiled bitterly: "My speed is indeed too slow. Now the day when the 'Top of the Sky' will be opened is getting closer. I'd better fully comprehend the fifth level of the Holy Demon Xiaoyao Art as soon as possible Well, otherwise, I might not even be qualified to save my own life on such a big stage!"

A strong desire arose in his heart!

Ye Caidi opened her mouth in surprise when she heard that he had reached the fifth level. Just as she was about to say something, her pupils suddenly shrank and she stared at something in front of her.

Lin Chen also noticed something was wrong and looked in the direction Ye Caidi pointed.

Looking at it, he discovered that a group of people appeared in front of him, about dozens of them, walking towards him.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.

He sensed that the other person's aura was the strongest, but he was in the early stage of Tongtian Realm. The auras of the two of them were actually on par with his own.

This made Lin Chen a little surprised. You know, he had killed countless powerful people in the Heaven Realm.

"It's them!"

Ye Caidi's face turned cold instantly, her voice trembled, and she clutched Lin Chen's clothes tightly.

Lin Chen looked at Ye Caidi and found that Ye Caidi was trembling all over now, as if he was afraid of something.

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Caidie, who are those people?"

Ye Caidi swallowed and said slowly: "Two of those people who are in the early stage of Tongtian Realm are from the Ye Dynasty, and the rest are people sent by the Ye Dynasty to hunt me down."

"I see!"

Lin Chen suddenly realized that this was why Ye Caidi was so scared after seeing those people.

After all, she is the princess of the Ye family, and she is also a leader of the younger generation of the Ye family. She will never show mercy to her enemies, the people of the Ye family, especially her, the emperor's only granddaughter.

Unsurprisingly, the people who came to hunt Ye Caidi this time were definitely those in the middle stage of Tongtian realm or above.

Although Ye Caidi has entered the early stage of Tongtian Realm, it is obviously not enough to deal with the strong ones in the middle stage of Tongtian Realm.

"The middle-aged man in white robes is Ye Zhenyu, the patriarch of the Ye royal family. He is a strong man in the early stage of Tongtian realm. The young man in black next to him is his son Ye Yongheng! And the other early stage Tongtian realm , they are the senior people under Ye Yongheng!”

Ye Caidi continued to explain.

Lin Chen nodded, and then he understood who those people were.

They were from the Ye Dynasty, which made him feel slightly relieved.

Since he is from the royal family, it means that the other party does not dare to kill innocent people indiscriminately. Maybe he just came to capture Ye Caidi on Ye Zhenyu's order.

"How do you know so clearly?" Lin Chen asked doubtfully.

Ye Caidi gritted her teeth and said: "That Ye Yongheng is the disciple adopted by my father. He also helped my father do many bad things back then!"

"So that's it!"

Lin Chen suddenly realized.

He finally understood why Ye Caidi's character became so well-behaved and gentle. It was probably the result of being forced.

As a person in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, it would be easy for Ye Zhenyu to accept a junior as his adopted son.

Ye Caidi couldn't resist at all.

After Ye Zhenyu adopted her, he gave her a place as a princess. Naturally, Ye Caidi didn't want to stay in the Ye Dynasty, so she chose to join Nangong Lin's team, follow him, and at the same time get some training.

Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and smiled: "Didn't you say you wanted to give me a gift? What gift is it?"

Ye Caidi's pretty face turned red and she whispered, "Yes... it's my first kiss."

After saying that, her face turned even redder, as delicate as a ripe apple.

"Ahem..." Lin Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly changed the subject, "You will hide behind me later. If they want to touch you, they have to get through me first!"

His words were somewhat heroic and arrogant, but Ye Caidi did not show any disdain. Instead, she nodded obediently and snuggled next to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen hugged Ye Caidi's slender and soft waist, and his eyes fell on the people walking towards this side from a distance.

He could sense that the middle-aged man in the lead was in the middle stage of Tongtian Realm. In addition to him, there were at least thirty or forty people in the early stage of Tongtian Realm!

This battle was even bigger than that of Chen Rongkun and Qin Changxi!

"Ye Caidie! You finally showed up!"

The middle-aged man in the lead immediately grinned when he saw Ye Caidie.

Behind him, a group of people also looked at Ye Caidie with greed on their faces.

Ye Caidie was famous in the entire Yuelan Dynasty. Not only was she beautiful and talented, but she was also respected. This kind of woman was the best of the best even for the royal family members like them.

"Humph! I should have guessed that you, the people of the Ye royal family, had bad intentions. I didn't expect that you were lured here so quickly!"

Lin Chen looked at these people with a cold face, "Since you are here, don't even think about leaving!"

His voice was loud and spread over a radius of 100 meters, and those people stopped immediately.

Ye Zhenyu glanced at Lin Chen, his face teasing, and said with a smile: "Haha, kid, I admire you a little. You are so arrogant even when you are about to die!"

His words were full of sarcasm.

Although he also saw that Lin Chen was in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, he did not take it to heart and determined that he was not his opponent.

"Ye Zhenyu, I advise you to get out immediately and don't force us to use our trump cards, otherwise, you will regret it!"

Ye Caidie said with a gloomy face, and she was extremely angry at the moment.

This middle-aged man was the Ye Zhenyu who had been entangled with her.

Although Lin Chen defeated Chen Rongkun, she had not seen Lin Chen's true combat power, so she did not know that Lin Chen was also a super strong man in the early stage of Tongtian Realm.

Ye Zhenyu sneered upon hearing this: "Ye Caidie, do you think you still have any trump cards? Your lineage has been destroyed, and even Ye Zhenhai is gone. Do you think that relying on this young boy can protect you? Hahaha!"

When he spoke, he didn't even bother to look at Lin Chen, as if he didn't take Lin Chen seriously at all.

"You really have a trump card?"

Lin Chen smiled indifferently.

"What do you think?"

Ye Zhenyu sneered, then looked at Ye Caidie and said: "Caidie, you should go back with us now, so as not to suffer, otherwise, I will be very angry!"

At this point, his eyes flashed with a violent light.

Ye Caidie couldn't help but tremble slightly, her face turned pale, and she looked at Lin Chen and said: "Run away, run away!"

Lin Chen patted her shoulder and shook his head: "I said I would take you away."

Although he had not been in contact with Ye Caidie for a long time, he also knew a little about Ye Caidie's temper.

Knowing that she was gentle and kind on the surface, but actually extremely stubborn in her bones, she would not leave Lin Chen alone to survive when faced with such danger.

"Escape? Haha, can you escape? Your speed is far inferior to that of the cultivators in the early stage of Tongtian Realm!"

At this time, Ye Zhenyu looked at Lin Chen with fierceness in his eyes, "Ye Caidie is the prey that I, Ye Zhenyu, have set my eyes on. Anyone who dares to snatch it will be killed without mercy! I want you to die, and you must die!"

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and cursed in his heart that he was a pretentious person.

He thought about it, and the Xuanyuan Spear was already in his right arm, and a sharp breath burst out from him.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Ye Zhenyu frowned. He realized that although Lin Chen was only in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, he seemed to have extremely strong physical strength and might even have comprehended some special martial arts.

However, he still didn't care.

After all, Lin Chen's age in cultivation is there. Even if he has a lot of resources for cultivation, how can he be his opponent!

"I'm quite surprised. How can you, a kid in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, have the courage to challenge me? Could it be that you can still withstand the attack of the middle stage of Tongtian Realm?"

Ye Zhenyu said coldly with a cat-and-mouse attitude.

As soon as his voice fell, Lin Chen had already rushed in front of him and punched him. With a bang, the air made a cracking sound, and a strong wind pressure rushed towards him.

Ye Zhenyu's pupils shrank sharply, and he was horrified.

The speed of this kid is really terrifying.

"What a strong punch!"

Ye Zhenyu was so scared that his heart twitched, and he couldn't help but exclaimed. He didn't expect Lin Chen's strength to be so strong.

However, at this time, he didn't care about much. He clenched his fists and used all his strength to operate his spiritual power to resist. A dazzling golden light surged from his body, making him look like a scorching sun.

The two fists collided, and Lin Chen was knocked back five or six steps before he stabilized his body.

"Huh? This kid is not bad!"

Ye Zhenyu showed a surprised look on his face, and then grinned: "But it's just okay! I admit that your talent is indeed good. In time, you may be able to step into the ninth level of the saint, but you are too young now!"

"You are looking for death!" Lin Chen listened to the insulting words of the other party, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes. In an instant, it turned into a residual image. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Ye Zhenyu, and Xuanyuan Spear stabbed at the other party's throat!

Ye Zhenyu shouted coldly, and danced with his fists, hitting a dense claw shadow, covering Lin Chen, trying to stop Lin Chen's movements.

"Tricks!"

Lin Chen sneered, and Xuanyuan Spear changed his moves, using the Eight Diagrams Samsara Palm, and used seven sets of palm techniques in an instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The Xuanyuan Spear was like a swimming fish, instantly breaking through the opponent's claw shadows, and then stabbed the opponent's chest!

Blood splattered, Ye Zhenyu screamed, and flew backwards!

This scene completely stunned Ye Caidie.

This scene was too sudden.

Ye Caidie never thought that Ye Zhenyu, who had entered the ninth level of the Saint Realm, would be defeated by Lin Chen so easily!

The difference in strength was too big, and they were not at the same level at all.

Moreover, Ye Caidie sensed that the fluctuations emanating from Lin Chen were clearly only in the early stage of the Tongtian Realm, but he easily crushed Ye Zhenyu, which was simply unbelievable.

Ye Zhenyu was pierced through the chest by Lin Chen's gun, and fell a few meters away. He covered his chest, stared at Lin Chen with a painful face, and roared:

"How is it possible! How can you be so powerful?"

The rest of Ye Zhenyu's people were also stunned, and some of them couldn't react.

"Master, you...you lost?"

The man in black looked at Ye Zhenyu who was lying a few meters away, and was so surprised that he stuttered.

Although he was also in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, he was like an ant in front of Ye Zhenyu and could lose his life at any time.

Ye Zhenyu's strength was one level higher than his!

Ye Zhenyu was actually injured by Lin Chen in the first encounter.

Ye Zhenyu gritted his teeth and said: "This bastard's physical strength must have reached 5 million pounds! His strength is stronger than I expected!"

Lin Chen heard his words and wondered what Ye Zhenyu was talking about?

But at this time, Ye Zhenyu had already looked at Lin Chen, his eyes were full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Since you are a cultivator in the early stage of Tongtian Realm, and you can challenge higher-level people, then I will kill you first, and then take this woman away! I will cut her into pieces, let her experience all kinds of torture, and let her know the price of betraying the Ye royal family!"

"Damn it! Shut up!" Ye Caidie said angrily.

"Shut up? Hahaha!"

Ye Zhenyu laughed wildly, "Whether I shut up or not is not up to you now. Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I will never let you go!"

His eyes were filled with crazy hatred, "You are the brother of that bitch Ye Caidie, so I will cut you into pieces and grind your bones to ashes!"

His voice was gloomy and cold, as if it came from the underworld, making people's hair stand on end.

Ye Zhenyu's eyes suddenly turned red, and his originally pale face turned red. He looked up to the sky and roared.

Waves of beast roars reached everyone's ears, making people's scalps numb, as if there was a prehistoric beast roaring and screaming in his body!

"This... this is..."

Liu Li was startled.

Lin Chen was also surprised, and felt that this sound was somewhat similar to the sound made by the monster he encountered before!

The next second, Ye Zhenyu's body was burning with blazing flames, his body height was nearly twice as high, his muscles bulged like rocks, and his long black hair stood up, like a demon descending!

At this moment, Ye Zhenyu looked a little ferocious and terrifying, completely different from the gentle and refined before!
