Chapter 340

Below, corpses littered the ground. There were both women and children. Lin Xue was crouching on the ground, crying in grief. She was very lonely and helpless.

Above them, a group of people appeared in the air, their auras surging. They were in the midst of negotiating.

"It's just a small family. They don't even have a single Void God. If they're destroyed, then so be it."

The Geng family's expert disdainfully smiled. "Every year, a few families disappear from our Letian City. What's so tragic about this?"

Letian City was a chaotic power. Even the city lords often died. The disappearance of a family was nothing.

"The rise of every power is covered in blood. It's the same for everyone. Why is there a need to criticize us?" asked the Cang family's expert.

"That's right."

The Li family's expert said, "In the Martial Heaven Continent, the strong are respected. To achieve one's goal, one must use any means necessary. Don't tell me you don't know that."

"Why the need to be so fake? Do you think we don't know what you're saying?" sneered another person.

The other powers were disdainful. They clearly didn't feel that they were in the wrong. They didn't think it was a big deal.

"How shameless. After doing such a tragic thing, you still speak so righteously. Are you even human?" Liu Mingyong was infuriated. He had an urge to smack them to death.

"Of course not."

The expert from the Cang Family stood in the air with a majestic figure. He said proudly, "In their eyes, we are gods, high and mighty, gods who can decide their fates."

"Shameless."

Lin Xue clenched her teeth and raised her head, glaring at this god. She would remember him. In the future, she would knock this god off his divine altar and turn him into an ant.

"You slaughtered my Qin village in my Qin family's territory. If word of this spreads, how will my Qin family have the face to stay in the southern region? You have to give me an explanation for this matter," said the Qin family's expert unyieldingly.

"The Qin family is just a small family. What explanation do you need? Just destroy them."

An indifferent voice rang out. It was the old assassin. He was old, but he didn't keep a low profile at all. He was very domineering.

"What did you say? Do you dare say it again?" The Qin family's expert's eyes flashed coldly.

"I said that the Qin Family is nothing. Just destroy them. Did you not hear me clearly? Or do you think that the Heavenly Assassination Alliance doesn't have the strength to destroy your Qin Family?" said the old assassin with disdain.

This was a little too arrogant. Saying that he wanted to destroy the Qin Family was like using the Heavenly Assassins Alliance's power to intimidate others.

"You're courting death."

The Qin Clan expert was enraged. His eyes flashed with killing intent. This was not putting the Qin Clan in his eyes at all. He naturally couldn't tolerate this. If he retreated today, the Qin Clan wouldn't be able to raise their heads in the future.

Killing intent surged, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

The old assassin was very calm and confident. With the Heavenly Assassins Alliance as their backing, they were bursting with confidence and were no longer as low-key as before.

The other forces did not say anything, as if they were waiting to watch a good show.

"That's enough. Whether we start a war or not, it doesn't seem to be up to you, a mere Yu Kong, to decide. Even if it's your clan elders, I'm afraid they don't have that qualification."

An indifferent voice sounded. Wang Zhenwei glanced at the old assassin and said, "Now, let's talk about serious matters."

The old assassin's expression changed, and he said, "I can spare those cowardly ants below, but I have to take Lin Xue away. This is the order of the Heavenly Assassins Alliance. This is to lure Su Long out. There can't be any mistakes."

The old assassin once again brought out the Heavenly Assassins Alliance.

"You're dreaming. You're all a bunch of devoid of humanity. If Lin Xue is in your hands, she can still live. Don't forget the original intention of this matter." Liu Mingyong shouted. He stared with his eyes wide open, holding the wolf fang weapon tightly in his hand.

"The original intention is naturally to lure Su Long out." The old assassin said.

"You old bastard, you're really shameless. Su Long and Lin Xue don't even know each other. How can you lure him out?" Liu Mingyong was angry.

"Isn't there still Zi Chen?" The old assassin asked.

"I know Zi Chen's character. If he knows that Lin Xue is dead, he definitely won't appear. Instead, he'll hide even deeper. He'll only appear after he's done his job and slaughter everyone. Although he's righteous, he's also very scheming." Wang Zhenwei said.

"I didn't say that I'll kill Lin Xue. I only said that I'll take her away." The old assassin emphasized.

"Then you can try. I guarantee that Zi Chen won't appear."

Wang Zhenwei sneered. He glanced at the other forces and said, "Last time, you all went back on your words and didn't even care about the face of your ancestors. You've already disappointed Zi Chen and made him vigilant. He doesn't trust you all anymore. He definitely won't entrust his life to you."

"Lin Xue will die in your hands sooner or later. Why should Zi Chen go through so much trouble and risk his life for a dead person? You're too naive."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Hand Lin Xue over to us. As long as we guarantee her safety, Zi Chen will naturally appear." Wang Zhenwei said.

"You're dreaming. Wang Zhenwei, don't act all high and mighty. We know why you're doing this. It's nothing more than her inheritance." The Cang family shouted angrily.

"You want to play such petty tricks in front of us? Do you think we're fools?" The Li family sneered.

The others were also ridiculing.

"Hmph, inheritance? Our Wang family has a lot of inheritances. Do you think we'll covet other people's things?" Wang Zhenwei snorted.

"Who would complain about having a lot of inheritances? Don't lie to yourself." Someone mocked.

"Last time in the ruins, the Liu family of Yunxia City also obtained an inheritance. Aren't we still living well? You guys, don't think that others are as despicable as you. You can disrespect your ancestors, but we can't."

"You!" The Yu family was furious.

"This is just my suggestion. If you don't want to, I don't want to explain anything. But there's one thing I want to say. We'll take Lin Xue to Yongqi City and let her stay there to ensure her safety." Wang Zhenwei said.

"Oh, you don't want to take her to Yunxia City?"

"Hmph." Wang Zhenwei snorted.

This time, the Assassin Pavilion was in charge. They wanted to kill Su Long, so they sent enough experts.

The major forces wanted to kill Zi Chen. There was no conflict between the two sides. Instead, they could cooperate. So, they all looked at the old assassin, waiting for his reply.

After thinking for a while, the old assassin finally nodded and said, "We can agree to this, but you can guarantee that Zi Chen will appear."

"As long as Lin Xue is in our hands, Zi Chen will definitely appear." Wang Zhenwei said confidently.

"Okay."

The major forces finally reached an agreement. That night, the experts took Lin Xue back to Yongqi City. At the same time, the rest of the Lin family were also taken away.

After that, the village turned into a sea of fire.

On the second day, there was a shocking news.

Zi Chen's confidante, Lin Xue, had been captured in Yongqi City. If Zi Chen did not appear, Lin Xue's life would be in danger.

This was a blatant threat. Once the news was out, it caused a stir.

"Is this the bottom line of the major forces?"

"They actually used such means. It seems like they are really pushed to the extreme by Zi Chen. They are afraid that Zi Chen will really go into seclusion until he reaches the Flight Realm."

The world was shocked, and all kinds of voices were heard.

"Zi Chen, your woman is in our hands. Are you still going to be a coward?"

"Lin Xue is with us. Zi Chen, if you don't appear, don't blame us for being rude."

"Lin Xue is a beauty. Zi Chen, are you not worried that such a beauty is in our hands?"

The True Energy Realm cultivators of the major forces stood out and expressed their opinions. All kinds of threatening words were heard.

"This major force is really shameless. They actually thought of this."

"They are shameless to the extreme. They are using Lin Xue to threaten Zi Chen."

The world was shocked, and it caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

"Zi Chen, if you don't appear in three days, Lin Xue will definitely die."

"The dignity of the Chu Family is not to be violated. Come out and accept your death."

Lin Xue was captured, and the major forces believed that Zi Chen would appear. They stopped looking for others, and many experts were called back.

Moreover, they were all guarding outside Yongqi City. Once they found Zi Chen, they would immediately attack and kill him.

Regarding Lin Xue's incident, Zi Chen, who was in Yongqi City, naturally knew about it.

"Damn it, you bunch of damn things."

Zi Chen's eyes were burning with anger, but he soon calmed down. This was a trap, and he had to solve it. Otherwise, he would die.

On that day, he quietly left Yongqi City and left Yongqi City.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Zi Chen did not appear.

The world was in an uproar. Could it be that Zi Chen did not care about Lin Xue's life?

The major forces found Wang Zhenwei. He had promised that day.

"Are you an idiot? How long does it take for the news to spread to the depths of the forest? In just three days, you want him to appear? Where is your brain?" Wang Zhenwei sneered.

"Zi Chen, if you don't appear in ten days, Lin Xue will definitely die." The major forces gave another deadline.

Many experts were called back, but no one looked for Lu Peng and the others. They also left some clues three days later.

On the fourth day, Zi Chen arrived at Rising Sun City. Here, he met a few of his companions.

Lu Peng, Zhang Haotian, Miao Kong, and Nie Tian were all there.

"These major forces are really shameless. They actually used Lin Xue to threaten Zi Chen."

"They are obviously asking Zi Chen to die."

The few of them were furious. At this moment, Zi Chen walked in.

"Zi Chen." The few of them went up to greet him.

"What do we do now?"

"This is a trap, and we have to break it. I need your help." Zi Chen said.

"What can we help with?" The few of them were stunned.

"The Ten-Directional Nirvana Formation." Zi Chen said coldly, his eyes cold.

"You're going to use the Ten-Directional Nirvana Formation to kill them." Lu Peng was shocked, and then said, "That's a good suggestion. I agree."

In the next moment, his face fell again. "But my attainments in formations are too low. I can't display the full power of the Ten-Directional Nirvana Formation."

"It's fine. When the time comes, you and Elder Mo will attack together." Zi Chen was very calm. He had already thought of a countermeasure.

Moreover, there was a reason why he did not appear in three days. Fortunately, the major forces gave him ten days.

"Then what can I do?" Miao Kong asked.

"Materials. I need a lot of formation materials."
