Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 410 A Hidden Dragon Emerges from the Abyss, Transforming into a Dragon Upon Encountering Wind and Clouds
The Realm of Departing Souls.

Wangchuan Terrace.

A relatively ancient city in the Soul Separation Domain.

East of the city, in the Yan family area.

In the surrounding streets and alleys, there is a small house with only one entrance.

“Princess, the master has gone too far by arranging such accommodations for you.”

Su Qin was very dissatisfied. Her princess had traveled across the East Sea to reach the Yan family, the main family of the Soul Separation Domain, but the Yan family treated her princess with such contempt.

"It's already good enough that the Yan family can arrange a place to stay. Our Murong family is just one of the hundreds of branches of the Yan family."

Murong Yan didn't seem to mind, and smiled as she looked around the courtyard.

Although the yard is small, at least there is no danger.

This time, the journey from the island to the Soul Separation Domain by sea was not too bad. With the help of the elders of the Martial Arts Alliance, they arrived safely in the East Sea.

However, on the way from the East Sea to the Divorce Domain, she encountered some dangers. Of the guards her father had sent to protect her, only Su Qin and two others remained; the other eight had all perished.

She was indeed a princess of the Yan Kingdom, but in the Yan Dynasty, she meant nothing.

Su Qin didn't say anything more after hearing her princess's words. She knew that something must have happened between the princess and the head of the Yan family.

When the princess first arrived at the Yan family, the Yan family was very welcoming and even took her to meet the Yan family elders. However, after meeting the elders, the Yan family's attitude immediately changed. They lost their initial enthusiasm and became indifferent to their princess.

Su Qin didn't know why the head of the Yan family had changed his attitude so much, but Murong Yan knew the reason.

Time goes back half a day.

The main residence of the Yan family.

Led by members of the Yan family, Murong Yan met with the clan elders.

"Good, good, good. I didn't expect my Yan family to have a branch overseas. You've come all the way from the islands of the East China Sea. It must have been hard for you."

The elders of the Yan family were very kind, which relieved Murong Yan.

On her way here, she was afraid that her main family would not recognize her branch of the family, but now she can settle down and find a way to write letters to her father and mother.

But everything changed the moment the elder touched her arm.

"You're no longer a virgin?"

Murong Yan could feel the anger in the elder's eyes, but before she could answer, the elder's expression turned cold, and he dismissed her.

She gave her virginity to Lin Chen before leaving the island.

When she walked out of the main hall of the house, the clansmen who had brought her there lost their previous enthusiasm and their words were full of sarcasm.

They cannot maintain a clean and virtuous lifestyle.

What a waste of a face.

At this point, Murong Yan understood everything.

The reason why the master was so enthusiastic towards me before was because of my appearance, and he wanted me to marry someone else.
However, because she was not a virgin, she had no chance of marriage and was therefore worthless in the eyes of her master's family.

Come to think of it, the Yan family has hundreds of branches.

In the eyes of the main family, branches are nothing, let alone branches that have not been in contact for thousands of years, so there is no kinship to speak of.

I'm afraid that in the eyes of the master, these branches of the family are not as close as the servants in the clan.

"The Yan family is not a place to stay for long."

As a princess of the Yan Kingdom, Murong Yan was all too aware of the intricacies of relationships among the powerful and influential.

The Yan family was so warm to her because of her appearance, but turned cold towards her the moment she was told she was not a virgin.

This only shows that the Yan family needs to curry favor with a certain power through marriage alliances.

The fact that the Yan family changed their attitude so quickly indicates that this matter is very urgent for them. The Yan family is facing a crisis that they do not have the strength to solve on their own and need to rely on external forces to resolve it.

After tidying up the courtyard, Murong Yan was about to rest when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps and chatter outside.

Murong Yan paused, and Su Qin immediately said, "Princess, I'll go ask what's going on outside."

Several dozen breaths later, Su Qin returned, her face showing undisguised excitement.

"Qin Gu, what's causing you to be so agitated?"

Murong Yan was somewhat puzzled. They had no relatives or friends in the Yan Dynasty, so what could have made Qin Gu so agitated?
"I've heard news about Young Master Lin."

Su Qin immediately replied, unable to hide the surprise on her face: "Those young people outside just now were all preparing to watch Young Master Lin's challenge at Martial Arts Mountain."

……

……

The entrance to the alley.

At this moment, a large number of young men and women have gathered, and among them is a graceful woman wearing a veil, her beautiful eyes fixed on the light screen in front of her.

In the past six months, Lin Chen's appearance has not changed much, but the confidence between his brows is much stronger than when he was in the Nine Kingdoms.

A dragon emerges from the abyss, ready to transform into a powerful force when it encounters favorable winds and clouds. The Nine Kingdoms are the abyss, and Lin Chen is that hidden dragon.

The Canglan Sect is a force to be reckoned with.

Now that he has left the Nine Kingdoms and arrived in the Yan Dynasty, becoming a disciple of the Canglan Sect, he can finally unleash his unique martial arts talent and strength.

The Yan family also received news of the battle to reach the top of Martial Dao Mountain. Some members of the Yan family also possessed Martial Dao Seals, but those living in this alley were from an unimportant branch of the Yan family. Only one or two members possessed Martial Dao Seals. In order to watch the battle of the top 100 of Martial Dao Mountain, the young members of the family with Martial Dao Seals broadcast the event at the entrance of the alley, so that everyone could see it.

When a figure appeared on the battle plain on Martial Arts Mountain, the scene was instantly filled with the sound of conversation.

"Lin Chen of the Canglan Sect has won so many matches in a row, and he is now second in Martial Arts Mountain. If he wins this match, he will truly reach the top."

"A streak of 100,000 wins to reach the top—I heard from a clan elder that this has already broken the record of Martial Arts Mountain."

The words of these members of the Yan family were filled with shock and envy.

"I really don't know how these people cultivate. We're still trying to break through to the middle grade, and they've already stepped into the innate realm."

"There's no comparison. We come from such humble origins that we're not even noticed by the main family in the Yan family. They, on the other hand, are disciples cultivated by a super sect, and the martial arts resources they receive each month are equivalent to what we receive in several years."

“It’s normal for other geniuses on Martial Arts Mountain to have this strength, but I heard that Lin Chen only joined the Canglan Sect not long ago. It is said that before joining the Canglan Sect, Lin Chen came from a barren place in terms of martial arts.”

"real or fake?"

"Impossible. How could a martial artist from a barren land of martial arts possibly have the strength to challenge the peak of martial arts? Your news is definitely fake."

"I also think it's fake. How can a young martial artist from a barren land of martial arts be compared to the genius disciples cultivated by the major super sects of the Yan Dynasty?"

"It's not as simple as comparing them; they're definitely one step ahead of all these geniuses. Now, only Sima Kong is missing."

Near the edge of the crowd, Murong Yan, wearing a veil, smiled radiantly, her beautiful face beaming. Su Qin, standing beside her, whispered, "Miss, I never imagined that Young Master Lin could be so outstanding in the Yan Dynasty."

In Su Qin's view, Lin Chen was extremely famous in the Nine Kingdoms and was already the number one person in the Nine Kingdoms.

However, once he arrived in the Yan Dynasty, there were many geniuses there, and Lin Chen would probably lose his spotlight and could only be somewhat famous in the Canglan Sect at most.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, Lin Chen has made such a name for himself in the Yan Dynasty that even the young people of the Yan family know about him.

At this moment, she really wanted to say that the news was indeed wrong. Lin Chen was not born in a barren place for martial arts, but in a desolate place for martial arts.

A region without a single innate martial artist is considered desolate. A region with only a few innate martial artists is considered barren.

"Yes, he has always been this outstanding."

Although Murong Yan was also happy, she was not as excited as Su Qin. She had confidence in Lin Chen, believing that he could shine even after coming to the Yan Dynasty.

"Miss, what if we tell the master about your relationship with Young Master Lin?"

"Don't mention this matter again."

Murong Yan immediately interrupted Su Qin. If the main family knew about her relationship with Lin Chen, they would probably target Lin Chen. She didn't know what the crisis was for the Yan family or how powerful the opposing forces were.

Regardless of the strength of the Yan family's opponents, she would not drag Lin Chen down with her for the sake of the Yan family. The Yan family had no affection for their branches, and she had no sense of belonging to the Yan family either.

Fortunately, after the elder of the Yan family changed his attitude towards me, he didn't even want to talk to me anymore. He didn't know which island in the East China Sea I came from, so he wouldn't associate me with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's identity will definitely be investigated by various forces after the battle at Wudao Mountain. If the Yan family finds out that he and Lin Chen come from the same island, they will definitely have some ideas.

She should actually thank this elder from the Yan family for his impatience with her.

……

……

Battlefield on the plains of Wudao Mountain.

After Lin Chen appeared, Sima Kong's figure also appeared on the plain.

Sima Kong stood with his hands behind his back, his long robe fluttering in the wind, exuding an aura of dominance over the world.

"Lin Chen, right? I heard you come from an overseas island in the East China Sea. With your strength, it's a bit of a surprise that you've come this far, but that's all you can do."

Sima Kong spoke calmly, without sarcasm or arrogance, as if stating an extremely ordinary fact.

"This guy is so strong!"

Su Qin looked at Sima Kong in the light screen. Even through the light screen, she could feel the terror of her opponent, Young Master Lin. His sweeping gaze made her face turn pale.

Murong Yan did not respond, but stared intently at the light screen. The winner of the Martial Arts Mountain competition was determined by Lin Chen's opponent. Lin Chen's opponent must be very strong. If he wasn't strong, he wouldn't be able to secure the number one spot among all martial artists under the age of twenty in the entire Yan Dynasty.

Lin Chen sensed the powerful aura released by Sima Kong, but did not respond with a word.

"It seems you're still not giving up. In that case, I'll let you experience what a difference really means."

Seeing Lin Chen's silence, Sima Kong assumed that Lin Chen was unwilling. The next moment, he took a step forward, and his protective aura swept out like a storm, instantly creating a crack tens of feet deep on the ground.

At the same time, twenty points of light shone around him, clearly visible to everyone!
"Having condensed twenty innate crystals, Sima Kong has already reached the late stage of the Transformation Realm."

All the martial artists who witnessed this scene were filled with shock.

The Thousand Machine Sect.

Zeng Xi wore a bitter smile. It seemed that Sima Kong hadn't gone all out in his previous two challenges.
