Chapter 618: The Secret of Empire Planning

If it's the former, it's fine, but if it's the latter, it's too much of a jerk.

He was a little tangled and confused.

When the Queen of Nine Profound Realm saw Lin Chen hesitate, her heart felt like it was stabbed by needles. She lowered her head slightly and gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Chen, I know I'm not worthy of you. If you don't mind, I'm willing to be your maid!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Chen frowned and shouted.

"Lin Chen, you don't agree, do you look down on me? I tell you, I, Jiuxuan, am stubborn, and no one can dissuade me from making a decision." The Queen of Nine Profound Realm stared at Lin Chen coldly.

"Of course I don't mean that." Lin Chen hurriedly explained, "I think I'm still pretty bad. My talent is not the best in the entire Southern Region."

"That's just because you don't want to work hard."

The Nine Profound Empress said: "You don't know that our Nine Profound Empire will recruit fresh blood every 30,000 years, and this time, I am the one who was chosen!"

She looked at Lin Chen and said: "If you are willing to accept me as your apprentice, then you will no longer be an ordinary disciple, and you can also participate in the recruitment assessment of our Nine Profound Empire. At that time, I can take you to participate in the assessment. With your talent, you will definitely pass the assessment!"

"Recruitment assessment? In which year will the assessment be held?" Lin Chen asked with some anticipation.

"It will be next spring, that is, warriors under the age of 45 who have reached the realm of the seventh transformation of the demon body! At that time, the younger generation of the entire Great Xia Dynasty will probably participate in the recruitment assessment. But I don't know which year it will be!" The Nine Profound Empress shook her head.

Lin Chen nodded.

"By the way, how did you defeat that warrior in the early stage of the Demon Pill Realm just now?" The Nine Profound Empress suddenly asked.

Lin Chen said, "Oh, I used my unique secret skill, 'Po Jun'!"

"Po Jun!" The face of the Nine Mysterious Empress changed when she heard this, her eyes were full of shock, and she said, "It is said that this sword technique is extremely powerful, and a sword can cut off a river. It is said to be a peerless martial art left over from ancient times!"

"So it's so powerful." Lin Chen touched his head, thinking, why haven't I heard of this secret book?

"You are so young, and you can comprehend 'Po Jun' to a small success, which is incredible."

The Nine Mysterious Empress said with a complicated look.

"Hey, it's just good luck, not worth mentioning." Lin Chen waved his hand, not thinking that his speed of comprehension was anything great.

The Nine Mysterious Empress obviously misunderstood what Lin Chen meant.

"Brother, are you saying that your swordsmanship attainments are no worse than the master's? You are a natural swordsman, right?" She looked at Lin Chen with envy in her eyes.

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, nodded, and after reacting, he smiled bitterly and said, "Junior sister, you think too much. Your master is a natural swordsman, and I have come step by step on my own."

The Nine Mysterious Queen shook her head and said, "No, I believe in your talent!"

Lin Chen was stunned. He didn't expect that the Nine Mysterious Queen actually believed that what he said was the truth.

"My master is a very stubborn person. Almost no one can change what she has determined. Since she said that you are my husband, she will never change."

The Nine Mysterious Queen took a deep breath and continued, "As for me, I will not stick to the rules like my master. No matter what happens, I will follow the rules. I will live according to my own ideas! I like you, and you like me too. Isn't this great?"

"Uh..." Lin Chen was speechless for a while.

This is simple to say, but the key is that he is also a little embarrassed. He is not attracted to this queen at all!

"You should take a rest first. You need to calm down and comprehend the "Saint Demon Free and Easy Art". Although this skill is overbearing, it also has many wonderful benefits when practicing, especially for you at this stage."

After saying this, the Nine Mysterious Queen left the room.

"Ah!"

After a while, Lin Chen lay on the bed and sighed, muttering a little depressed: "Why do I feel that this woman is getting more and more attached to me!"

"Maybe this is the nature of women."

"That's true."

Lin Chen shrugged, then closed his eyes and prepared to start practicing.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his hair stood up all over his body, and he opened his eyes instantly.

In the corner of the room, there stood an old man in black, looking at Lin Chen with a weird look on his face.

The old man had an ugly face, bluish-gray skin, sunken cheeks, slender eyes, and a gloomy look. He looked very scary. Even his mouth had half a foot long fangs exposed, making him look as hideous and terrifying as a ghost.

"Who are you? How did you get in? What do you want to do?"

After seeing the old man clearly, Lin Chen's face was horrified. He jumped up suddenly, staring at the old man vigilantly, and retreated quickly. His right hand had already grabbed the sword at his waist.

"Hehe! Boy, you are really brave. You are worthy of being a genius who dares to challenge Gongsun Shengtian. Unfortunately, you are destined to fall here today!" The old man laughed strangely a few times, his tone was cold.

Following that, he slapped Lin Chen with his right hand, and the palm wind whistled, and the air burst. A strong sense of oppression enveloped Lin Chen, making him difficult to breathe, and his body stiffened, as if he was fixed.

"Oops!"

Lin Chen's face was horrified. He never thought that this old guy could enter the house quietly, so close, and sneak attack him, he couldn't avoid it at all.

Boom!

At this critical moment, the door was knocked open, and the Nine Mysterious Empress rushed in, blocking Lin Chen in front of her. She raised her left hand and started fighting with the old man, making muffled sounds of bang bang bang.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He even thought that he would die at the hands of the old man.

The Nine Mysterious Empress's figure was like a phantom, and she fought fiercely with the old man. Every time the old man swung his palm, there was a sharp wind surging out, cutting grooves on the surrounding walls. It looked extremely dangerous, but the Nine Mysterious Empress was at ease.

Every time she attacked, it was just right, making the old man unable to defend himself, and then she forced the old man back with a punch.

When Lin Chen saw this, he narrowed his eyes and realized that the Nine Mysterious Empress was testing the opponent's strength.

Sure enough, after a moment, the Nine Mysterious Empress' eyes flashed with excitement, and she shouted coldly: "I won!"

"Puff!"

The old man spat out a mouthful of blood, with fear in his eyes, and hurriedly said: "I admit defeat!"

He was shocked, he didn't expect the Nine Mysterious Empress to be so strong.

This woman is much younger than him, but she is stronger than him. He knows that he is not her opponent!

He is unwilling to fight anymore, because the price is unbearable for him.

The Nine Mysterious Empress saw him surrender, and smiled.

"Hmph!" The Nine Mysterious Empress snorted lightly, her face full of arrogance, obviously did not tell Lin Chen that the reason why she became so strong was because of the practice she practiced.

This practice is called "Soul Devouring Art", which is the unique skill of the Demon Spirit Sect, and its power is extremely terrifying.

It is said that there was once a super strong man who had transformed into a fifth or sixth level of the spirit, whose soul was devoured by it and turned into a walking corpse. In the end, he was beheaded by the Demon Spirit Sect and became a sacrifice for the flag.

At the beginning, Lin Chen was still a warrior in the Saint Transformation Realm, and it was with the help of the "Saint Demon Free and Easy Art" that he defeated the existence of the fifth or sixth transformation of the spirit.

The Nine Mysterious Empress was originally just an ordinary cultivator, but by chance, she practiced the "Saint Demon Free and Easy Art".
