Lin Chen said.

"Brother Lin, please don't misunderstand. I'm just passing by and will be leaving now."

Ji Biyue said, forcing a smile, her long legs trembling slightly.

Although she considered herself stronger than Ji Haiyue, she believed that her strength was limited and that she was probably no match for Lin Chen.

Thinking that if she were captured, she might be stripped naked like Ji Haiyue and the others, how could she dare to stay any longer?

Using his divine power, he carried Ji Haiyue and the others away from the place.

"These bastards have gone too far! A genius from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, they actually dare to bully you! Shameless!"

Ji Ziyue said, feeling very relieved to see the group of people slink away.

“Young Master Lin, you stripped him down to his underwear. You’ve gone too far.”

Qin Yao laughed, surprised that Lin Chen would rob all of these Ji family members.

When Ji Haiyue and the others wake up, they'll probably faint from anger on the spot!

"A kind person is easily bullied, and a good horse is easily ridden. We have to make these people feel pain and suffer before they dare not come back. Otherwise, if they come every day, how can I continue my cultivation?"

"Actually, I'm a very kind person. The reason I'm like this is entirely because these guys forced me to."

Lin Chen said, looking quite helpless.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue and Qin Yao immediately cast questioning glances at them.

You think you're kind?

Sensing the subtle glances from the two women, Lin Chen's lips curled into a wicked smile as he reached out and embraced their slender waists.

"Sigh, these days, nobody believes honest people."

"Since that's the case, then I'll play the villain and show you both what pain really means today!"

……

Three days later.

Ji family.

The main council hall.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family sat majestically at the very top, below him were the powerful figures, the Supreme Elders, and the other elders of the Ji family.

"Elder Yan Yang, I heard that your son seems to have had some conflict with Lin Chen."

"It was said by a senior elder."

Among the elders, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up, his face showing anger.

"I was just about to report this matter to the Supreme Elder when Lin Chen acted recklessly. He is just an outsider, yet he attacked my Ji family's prodigy. He is simply lawless!"

"My Haiyue is still unconscious. She is so ruthless at such a young age. If she grows up, won't she slaughter my Ji family? Elder, this child must be severely punished!"

Ji Yanyang said that he was Ji Haiyue's father.

After witnessing Ji Haiyue's tragic state, he harbored deep hatred for Lin Chen, wishing he could devour his flesh and drink his blood.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elder was not as impulsive as Ji Yanyang. He calmly said, "Elder Yanyang, please do not speak recklessly. Lin Chen is, after all, a child raised by the Holy Lord. His father also has a close relationship with my Ji family. Although he has no Ji family blood, he is no different from a member of the Ji family."

"However, Lin Chen was indeed at fault in this matter. He seriously injured Ji Haiyue and a group of young members of the Ji family, and also robbed them of everything. Holy Lord, if we don't give an explanation for this matter, it will be difficult to convince the public."

He looked at the Holy Master of the Ji family, and several other Supreme Elders, as well as many Ji family elders, echoed him, vowing to severely punish Lin Chen.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family glanced at these people, who were all leaders of other factions, clearly putting pressure on him.

"In the process of exploring the Yin Tomb of the Azure Emperor, several powerful figures and elders of my lineage perished, and these people began to become restless."

"A bunch of rabble, just huddling together for warmth, do they really think they can take over?"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family had a cold look in his eyes.

"We beg Your Majesty to severely punish Lin Chen and give us an explanation!"

Ji Yanyang said loudly.

However, the next moment, a black handprint covered the sky and sent him flying backward, coughing up blood.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family flicked his sleeves.

"An explanation? Is Elder Yan Yang satisfied with this explanation?"

"Holy Lord, what are you doing?"

The Supreme Elder of Ji Haiyue's lineage was moved and glared angrily at the Holy Master of the Ji family.

However, the next moment, an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the Holy Master of the Ji family, directly approaching this highly skilled Supreme Elder, almost suffocating him!

"Dare to utter another word, and I'll kill you along with me!"

Chapter Seventy-One: The Lion Thunder Technique! The Path to the Dao Palace!

The Holy Lord of the Ji family was incredibly domineering, and his terrifying aura overwhelmed the entire area, causing even the most powerful beings to tremble in fear.

This is a supreme figure among the Holy Lords, who has already reached the pinnacle of this realm, and can effortlessly annihilate ordinary powerful beings.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family did not offer any explanation. Knowing the intentions of these people, he could only intimidate them with force.

No matter what you're thinking or how angry you are, you have to keep it to yourself in the face of absolute power!

The main hall of the Ji family immediately fell silent, and no one dared to utter a sound, much less mention Lin Chen.

Seeing this, the Holy Lord of the Ji family snorted coldly and continued, "Instead of scheming and plotting, you should think more about how to benefit the Ji family."

"Recently, a large mineral deposit was discovered at the border between the Southern and Central Regions, with estimated reserves of no less than ten million kilograms."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ji family was startled.

Even the powerful figures from other factions were all distracted by the news of the source mine, unable to think of anything else for a moment.

Source is an extremely important resource for cultivators; it can be considered the universal currency of the cultivation world.

Activating array patterns and reviving imperial weapons all require a large amount of source energy. Even powerful individuals have a great need for source energy.

However, source energy is not inexhaustible; in fact, it is extremely scarce. In smaller source mines, even after excavating the entire vein, you might only find a few kilograms of source energy, which would be considered quite good.

A large-scale mine can yield more than 3,000 catties of ore per cubic meter, which is an astonishing quantity and is rarely seen.

A source mine with reserves of tens of millions of kilograms—this can't even be described as a source mine anymore; calling it a dragon vein wouldn't be an exaggeration!

Even for ancient aristocratic families, tens of millions of catties is a terrifying amount!

Immediately, a powerful member of the Ji family said, "We must take this mine no matter what. Have you received news from the Yao Guang Holy Land? We absolutely cannot let them have it!"

"Indeed, with the deterrence of two supreme weapons, my Ji family should be able to take at least 70%!"

"An elder said."

“If it were just the Yao Guang Holy Land, this would be nothing. However, this mine is located at the border between the Southern and Central Regions, and forces such as the Dao Yi Holy Land and the Zi Fu Holy Land in the Central Region also want to get their hands on it.”

"This is what the Holy Lord of the Ji family said."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that the matter was quite complicated.

There are quite a few holy lands and ancient families in the Central Region. If they want to interfere, even if the Ji family really has two imperial weapons, they will not be able to suppress all the other forces.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family then said, "Regarding the ownership of the mine, the current consensus among all parties is that it is not advisable to start a war between the strong."

"Doesn't that mean that the ownership of the mine will be determined by a contest between the most outstanding talents?"

Ji Wendao spoke from the side seat.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family nodded.

"Heh, my Ji family has a divine body still alive. Those holy lands in the Central Region must be senile."

Some mocked, saying that the divine body was invincible among its generation, incomparable to the successors of other holy lands and ancient families.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family shared the same view, but still cautiously said, "Other holy lands naturally know the power of Haoyue, and they will surely have ways to deal with it."

"The location of this conference is Youyue Ancient City in the Central Region, which is adjacent to the Tianxuan Holy Land Ruins. It is an excellent opportunity for the geniuses from all sides to exchange ideas."

……

Inside Ji Ziyue's residence.

Lin Chen held the Suanni treasure bone in his hand, comprehending the profound bone inscriptions and Dao principles on it.

"The original treasure technique of the pure blood Suanni is truly profound and mysterious. Apart from the Thunder Emperor of the Ten Ancient Fierce Fiends, there are few who can rival it in the Thunder Dao Domain."

Lin Chen sighed inwardly.

Even with his talent, comprehending the primordial treasure bone of the Suanni was incredibly difficult.

This is no longer within the realm of humanity; it transcends the ultimate path and touches upon the laws of immortality.

However, Lin Chen still made some gains in the past three days.

At this moment, not only the Vermilion Bird was circling in his heart palace, but a fierce Thunder Lion had also taken up residence.
