Chapter 1643: Chapter 849: Intimidation (Part 2)

After enduring relentless pursuit, Chen Xuan still managed to escape the confines of Evil Dragon Mountain.

Faced with such a situation, Luo Xin and his companions, although furious and terrified, found themselves powerless.

They knew that leaving the region of Evil Dragon Mountain, they could not dare to blatantly appear in public view, much less get caught in a battle.

For if they were too conspicuous, they would certainly be recognized.

Seeing that further pursuit was hopeless, Luo Xin and the others had no choice but to halt.

In their terror, they could only sneak back to their base.

As for what had happened before, they dared not reveal a word, fearing retribution from the higher-ups.

Besides, there was a sense of wrongful optimism in their hearts.

They thought that if the other party did not recognize them or their cultivation techniques, they might avoid exposure this time.

With such wishful thinking, they returned to their base, pretending as if nothing had happened.

For a while, the entire base and the area within Evil Dragon Mountain were eerily calm, as if nothing had occurred.

This made Luo Xin and the others secretly relieved, believing that their earlier worries were unnecessary.

Moreover, they felt fortunate about the decision they made back then, considering it to be wise.

If they had reported the truth to the sect leaders, they would have faced serious punishment, at best, and at worst, an abolishment of their cultivation, or even death.

On the contrary, the location of the base and their identities seemed unnoticed.

This outcome was undoubtedly exhilarating news for them.

However, over half a year later, Lin Tianming, the God of Slaughter, suddenly appeared outside the base, shattering Luo Xin and the others’ fantasies.

Coupled with Chen Jianyi’s current reaction, Luo Xin knew they were doomed.

Perhaps understanding this, Luo Xin, facing the angry Chen Jianyi, suddenly slumped to the ground, looking completely lost as if he foreseen his fate.

It wasn’t just Luo Xin; the reactions of the other accomplices were even more despairing.

Clearly, they also realized how dire the current situation was.

Based on their understanding of the sect family elders, even if they weren’t executed, they would be stripped of their cultivation, becoming ordinary people incapable of defending themselves.

Contemplating such an outcome, they all looked pale and listless, appearing immensely miserable.

Upon hearing their explanation, Chen Jianyi and Li Yongan were on the brink of furious anger.

Especially Chen Jianyi, who, upon understanding the entire situation, instantly waved his hand, unleashing a strike with lightning speed.

The echoing scream resonated throughout the ravine, as Luo Xin’s body flew backward, finally halting when he slammed against a rock.

Luo Xin struggled painfully, blood spurting from his mouth, his face turning deathly pale.

Yet, even so, the furious Chen Jianyi had no intention of showing restraint.

From his perspective, Luo Xin and his accomplices had acted so heinously, ruining the efforts of the three great powers.

After all, had they not sneaked out, and fought with external cultivators over treasures, the whereabouts of the three great powers wouldn’t have been exposed, nor would Lin Tianming, the God of Slaughter, have been drawn here.

Now Lin Tianming’s power clearly surpassed his previous state.

Moreover, Lin Tianming seemed to have discovered some clues, or he wouldn’t have appeared here by this remarkable coincidence.

More importantly, Lin Tianming now barred the only exit beyond the formation.

The horror of Lin Tianming and his unfathomable methods were well known to all the Golden Core Stage experts present.

Against such an opponent, even if they joined forces, ten Golden Core Stage experts might not be able to match Lin Tianming.

Furthermore, even if they miraculously escaped, how could they evade the crazy pursuit of the Lin Family’s three major powers?

It must be known that the current Jin Feng Country’s Cultivation World was thoroughly dominated by the Lin Family’s three great clans.

In this situation, spies from the three great clans and Myriad Cultivators Alliance were everywhere, with numerous Golden Core Stage cultivators scattered across the Jin Feng Nation.

Therefore, it’s foreseeable that even if they escaped Lin Tianming, they would certainly face relentless pursuit by the three great clans and Myriad Cultivators Alliance.

Under such circumstances, even if their remaining strength wasn’t weak, they might still be doomed.

Furthermore, the Lin Family could make several mistakes.

But for the three major powers of the Tianqing Sect, there was no second chance.

Understanding this, Chen Jianyi was so furious at this moment.

Especially considering everything he had endured over the past decade, barely escaping from the battle at Tianqing Mountain, and managing to hide here with great effort for so long.

This way, just persisting another ten or twenty years, their crisis might be completely resolved.

The legacy of Tianqing Sect would also be preserved by him.

Especially with the temporary relief of the crisis and the involvement of the Blood Red Alliance, their survival prospects were increasing.

But who would have thought that after more than a decade of effort, painstakingly achieving this good situation, it would be ruined by Luo Xin and his companions, resulting in a waste of all prior efforts.

The more Chen Jianyi thought about it, the more furious he became.

Due to his extreme anger, Chen Jianyi had no intention of sparing Luo Xin, only wanting to make an example out of them to prevent similar incidents in the future.

With this mindset, after the previous attack, Chen Jianyi launched another strike, targeting Luo Xin’s vital organs.

In the blink of an eye, as a light flashed, another scream resounded.

As the light faded, the scream abruptly stopped, and tranquility returned to the world.

Looking again, Luo Xin’s body lay motionless on flat ground, a fist-sized bloody hole in his chest, with a large patch of ground stained red with blood.

Luo Xin was now devoid of any signs of life, and even the remnants of his aura had mostly dissipated.

Evidently, the two successive attacks resulted in Luo Xin’s public execution by Chen Jianyi, without a hint of resistance.

This action shocked all the cultivators present.

Even the remaining Golden Core Stage cultivators of the Tianqing Sect alternated between red and white, feeling even more fear towards Chen Jianyi.

Not only them, but even the Golden Core Stage cultivators of the Xie and Li Families looked grim, with various emotions and thoughts in their hearts.

However, Li Yongan and Xie Yingshan, being family cultivators, were fundamentally different from Chen Jianyi, who was from a sect.

At the very least, the descendants of the Xie and Li Families were one family, sharing some blood ties among them.

Conversely, the Tianqing Sect was a sect power, with little to no relationships among its members.

With this difference, Li Yongan and the others naturally would not be as ruthless as Chen Jianyi.

Though furious at the circumstances, Li Yongan and the others couldn’t bring themselves to be as cruel as Chen Jianyi.

This highlights the evident differences between family and sect.

Under these circumstances, following Chen Jianyi’s deliberate shock, Li Yongan and Xie Yingshan merely glared angrily at their clansmen without taking substantial action.

Despite being terrified by this reaction, the others couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
