Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 619 The Real Mastermind

"stop!"

Two angry shouts rang out simultaneously, like thunderclaps from the heavens, the moment Lin Chen stepped out!
Before the sound arrived, two blurry figures had already traversed a vast distance, as if stepping directly out of the void, carrying with them a majestic divine might.

The two newcomers did more than just speak; as their voices reached him, a giant hand emanating a terrifying aura and a finger strike containing the intent of annihilation suddenly attacked Lin Chen.

The intention was obvious—to force Lin Chen to retreat and save Luo Tian!
Clearly, the newcomers knew that Lin Chen might not stop because of their words.

Throughout Canglan City, all the spectators, including Ye Feiran, Qin Tianhua, Song Jin, and Ji Ruochuan who were engaged in the fierce battle, had their hearts in their throats. No one expected such a series of reversals to occur in such a short period of time.

However, facing this terrifying pincer attack that would make any Myriad Manifestations Realm expert turn pale and choose to retreat, Lin Chen's expression remained unchanged.

In those deep, starry eyes, there was only an extremely cold killing intent and a resolute commitment to the Supreme Elder Yin Wushuang!
If he knew when to stop, he wouldn't have taken that step in the first place. No matter who it was, no one could stop him from destroying Luo Tian.

After Elder Yin Taishang infused his divine soul to help him break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, he also used his remaining divine sense to tell him the truth about the sect war between the Canglan Sect and the Eight Desolations Sect.

In this clan war, the long-standing feud between the two clans was merely a pretext, and the royal family's instigation was just an aid; the real mastermind was someone else entirely.

And this Lord of Hell, Luo Tian, ​​was the one who first made the connection.

"The moon rises over the sea!"

In an instant, a vortex of stars appeared within thirty feet, and everyone saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, its light enveloping Lin Chen and Luo Tian simultaneously.

As the moonlight appeared, Lin Chen's fist transformed into an even more terrifying azure dragon. Its scales shimmered with immortal golden light and destructive deep blue, unleashing a roar that shook the universe. With its mouth wide open, carrying the will to annihilate everything, it bit down fiercely!
Neither its speed nor its power could compare to the previous four azure dragons.

For the first time, Luo Tian's expression showed despair and fear. The moment he was enveloped by the moonlight, he felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his shoulders, and his entire movement was restricted.

Upon seeing Lin Chen's terrifying punch, the blood spurting from his mouth was neutralized by an unknown energy before it even touched the azure dragon.

boom!
The azure dragon devoured Luo Tian amidst his despair, while at the same time, a giant palm and terrifying finger winds slammed in, penetrating the range of the moon's clear light.

The bright moon hanging high in the sky swayed, and the terrifying collision of the three energies turned the area covered by the moonlight into chaos.

All of this may seem like a long time coming, but it all happened in the blink of an eye. The clash between experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm is measured in an instant.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the area below the bright moon, and they were all waiting for a result.

Even experts at the Innate Realm dared not use their divine sense to perceive the area, because several who tried to approach it with their divine sense nearly lost their divine souls.

The bright moonlight was able to devour their divine senses and even made their souls tremble. If they continued to probe, they would likely suffer a backlash.

After a breath.

The chaos dissipated and calm returned. In the clear moonlight, Luo Tian was no longer there, only Lin Chen remained. Everyone stared at this scene in disbelief.

Luo Tian, ​​was he really wiped out?

A powerful expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, whose soul and body were completely destroyed, leaving not even a trace of flesh and blood behind?
Although Lin Chen's lips were stained with blood, none of the Myriad Manifestations Realm experts watching from the shadows dared to underestimate him.

Having annihilated one expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm and blocked an attack from two others, it would be understandable if he were seriously injured, let alone injured.

Although Yin Wushuang of the Canglan Sect killed two experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm and seriously injured another, his record seemed terrifying. However, it was achieved at the cost of Yin Wushuang's life.

In terms of battle record, Lin Chen and Yin Wushuang are already evenly matched.

"Perhaps, the Canglan Sect really is going to turn the tide."

At this moment, the aerial battle in the sky also ceased. Ye Feiran and Qin Tianhua landed beside Lin Chen. The two looked at Lin Chen with complex emotions, including satisfaction, excitement, and a touch of nostalgia.

The two knew very well how Lin Chen broke through to the Innate Realm; it was a plan that their senior brother had made long ago.

Lin Chen possesses the destiny of "Boundless Divine Illumination," which allows him to infinitely absorb and increase his divine soul energy. It was only through his senior brother's own divine soul combined with the Canglan Sect's energy accumulated over hundreds of years that Lin Chen was able to completely absorb his divine soul.

The two initially opposed their senior brother's plan. Firstly, they didn't want to see him sacrifice his life for it, and secondly, this was something that had never happened before in the martial arts world, and their senior brother was only 30% sure of success.

But in the end, they were persuaded by their senior brother.

The eldest brother failed to break through, and his lifespan was already short. He was only holding on for the sake of the Canglan Sect. Even without the sect war of the Eight Desolate Sect, he would only have three years left to live.

Secondly, as the senior brother said, the Canglan Sect has no other way to go.

The Eight Desolations Sect, the Illusionary Spirit Sect, the Blood Moon Sect, and the Yama Palace—four major forces—joined forces to deal with him. If the eldest brother were at his peak, he could still cope, but now there's really no way to do so.

The eldest brother first used swift and decisive methods to kill the experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and then had Lin Chen break through to the Myriad Manifestations Realm. This was to intimidate Song Jin and the others, forcing them to retreat. This was the eldest brother's entire plan.

So far, Senior Brother's plan has been achieved, and even exceeded expectations, because Lin Chen has not only entered the Myriad Manifestations Realm, but also has the strength to kill Luo Tian. Ye Feiran looked at Lin Chen. When he first learned that the sect had produced a prodigy, he was only optimistic about Lin Chen after learning about his deeds. But he never expected that Senior Brother would place all the sect's hopes on Lin Chen.

Although he trusted his senior brother, he still had some doubts in his heart. Only at this moment did he realize how insightful his senior brother was.

Lin Chen did not let down his senior brother, nor did he disappoint their expectations.

At this moment, the two old men who had stepped down from the distant horizon also appeared in front of Lin Chen.

"It's them!"

"It's actually the Yin brothers."

"These two seem to have no connection with either the Canglan Sect or the Bahuang Sect, so why are they here?"

The appearance of the two elders caused many Myriad Manifestation Realm experts who were secretly watching to look on with doubt, as the identities of these two were extremely special in the entire Myriad Manifestation Realm of the Yan Dynasty.

Throughout the Yan Dynasty, most of the experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm came from super sects. Of course, there were also several families with long-standing traditions, each with an expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. However, the Yin brothers were an exception. They were neither from super sects nor from those long-established martial arts families.

These two... came from ordinary families, and before they even reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm, they were completely unknown figures in the entire Yan Dynasty.

This is what is extremely unusual.

Once a martial artist enters the Innate Realm, they will gain some fame in their area of ​​activity. As their realm gradually improves, they will become even more renowned after reaching the fourth and fifth realms of the Innate Realm.

Before entering the Myriad Manifestations Realm, the two Yin brothers were completely unknown, as if they had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Such martial arts masters who suddenly become famous are not uncommon; many elite martial artists trained by powerful families fall into this category.

However, looking at the entire Yan Dynasty, no matter how powerful a family is, it is impossible to cultivate two experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm as death warriors.

"It seems that Senior Brother was right. There is indeed something going on with the Dongfang family behind this."

Ye Feiran and Qin Tianhua exchanged a glance, and at the same time, they transmitted their voices to Lin Chen.

The Yin brothers rose to prominence mysteriously, their origins unknown. However, some things can be deduced from this: looking at the entire Yan Dynasty, only two forces could possibly cultivate assassins capable of reaching the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

Royal family and Eastern families.

Even for the royal family and the Eastern clan, it's only a possibility. But excluding other absolutely impossible possibilities, the answer can only be found among the possibilities.

However, the royal family is already in decline, so the possibility is very small. Therefore, the only possibility is the Eastern family.

The one from the Dongfang family is currently the strongest in the entire Yan Dynasty. Although it's hard to imagine how he cultivated two experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, there is no one else like him.

The reason why the eldest brother designed such a risky and daring plan was also because he drew inspiration from the Yin brothers. Moreover, before Lin Chen stepped into the Myriad Manifestations Realm, no one could guarantee that the plan would succeed.

It seems that the one from the Dongfang family was in the same boat, not confident at all, but like his senior brother, both of their plans succeeded.

Lin Chen wasn't too surprised to hear the Supreme Elder's telepathic message. Before the Supreme Elder's soul dissipated, he had already told him the whole truth.

That person from the Dongfang family wants to throw the Yan Dynasty into chaos, because only when the Yan Dynasty is in chaos will its fortune dissipate even faster.

He couldn't wait any longer!
However, as the inheritor of the divine seal, he cannot personally light this fire to toll the death knell for the royal family; otherwise, the dissipated fortune will not fall upon him.

Luo Tian is a pawn of the Dongfang family.

Only the Dongfang family member, a powerful figure in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, has the power to willingly serve as a pawn.

From the assassination attempt on him by the Yama Palace to the alliance with the Eight Desolations Sect, and later the Blood Moon Sect, all of these were orchestrated by Luo Tian, ​​but the mastermind behind them was the one from the Dongfang family.

There was no need for the person from the Dongfang family to speak; everything was understood without being said.

These three families sought power after the change of dynasties.

Lin Chen understood from Elder Yin's words.

The ascension of the Dongfang family member to the throne is like the crown prince ascending the throne in a feudal dynasty in the previous life. As a super sect, they are like high-ranking officials in the court. They can choose not to interfere because the crown prince also needs to stabilize the court after ascending the throne.

However, the Eight Desolations Sect and its families chose to accelerate the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne, which was tantamount to having rendered meritorious service in supporting the emperor. Once the Dongfang family's son truly ascended to the divine throne, the families would surely receive a rich reward.

"Lin Chen is indeed as arrogant as the rumors say.

The Yin brothers' eyes were filled with endless coldness. After they spoke, Lin Chen still dared to make a move, which meant he didn't take them seriously at all.
