As Lin Chen settled back into his seat in the stands and opened his Communication Jade Slip, a major event was unfolding millions of miles away in Yanwu City of Yanwu Country, where Xia Wanxin found herself in a dire situation.
Not long ago, Xia Wanxin had hurriedly returned to Yanwu City with so powerful mbers of the Formation Sect and her original guards.
She thought that with her breakthrough to the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Human Realm, defeating Xia Yide would be a piece of cake, and she believed she could rescue her father and resolve the crisis in Yanwu Country by her own strength.
However, she did not foresee that matters were much more complicated than they appeared on the surface.
Xia Yide’s cultivation was not very high, the key lay in the person backing him—Zhao Zhongchuan.
At the Formation Sect, Zhao Zhongchuan was inconspicuous. If it were not for the conflicts with Lin Chen, people would not have rembered him. Xia Wanxin didn’t even recognize this man.
But when she saw Zhao Zhongchuan, she instantly understood. The internal strife in Yanwu Country was undoubtedly orchestrated by Zhao Zhongchuan. Was he doing this for revenge?
But even for revenge on Lin Chen, Yanwu Country should not have been targeted.
"Zhao Zhongchuan, my Yanwu Country holds no grudges against you, why must you do this?"
At this mont, Xia Wanxin was gasping for breath, her body covered in multiple wounds. Despite her cultivation having broken through to the Ninth Level of Heavenly Human Realm, she was still no match for Zhao Zhongchuan.
At Formation Sect, Zhao Zhongchuan’s talent in cultivation was not outstanding, and Xia Wanxin, backed by the cultivation resources provided by Lin Chen, had surpassed the cultivation speed of the other disciples in the sect.
How could Zhao Zhongchuan surpass her? He must have encountered so incredible fortune.
"Heh, indeed, I hold no grudges against you."
"If anyone is to bla, bla yourself and Lin Chen for being so close, constantly proclaiming yourself as his daughter. In that case, I naturally have a reason to deal with you."
"Lin Chen’s woman, is it? Heh, rest assured, I won’t kill you so soon. I’m going to cripple your cultivation, then sever your tendons, and slowly tornt you. I’ll attend to you day and night, then throw you into the War Departnt’s barracks for their soldiers to enjoy thoroughly."
Zhao Zhongchuan looked at Xia Wanxin with an evil smile, as if his inner hatred had been released, feeling utterly satisfied.
Just imagining this treatnt making Lin Chen suffer brought him imnse pleasure.
Upon hearing Zhao Zhongchuan’s plan, Xia Wanxin’s face turned pale, and she involuntarily staggered backwards a few steps, almost unable to stand steadily.
If she indeed suffered that kind of humiliation, it would be worse than death.
Her guess was correct; all of this madman’s actions were aid at retaliating against Lin Chen.
Xia Wanxin felt imnse regret, regretting that she hadn’t taken the matter more seriously, regretting she hadn’t listened to her aunt’s advice to inform Lin Chen.
When Zhao Zhongchuan fled from the Formation Sect, his cultivation was only around the Third Layer of Heavenly Human Realm, but he had now stepped into the Half-step Nirvana Realm, his cultivation speed surpassing others.
Had it not been for the magic treasures Lin Chen gave her, Xia Wanxin might have already been defeated by Zhao Zhongchuan.
Now, many of her magic treasures were damaged as well, and they might not hold out much longer.
If she were truly to be defeated by Zhao Zhongchuan, what awaited her would be a fate worse than death.
However, Zhao Zhongchuan’s heart was also filled with panic and anxiety.
Because he realized that with his current strength, he still couldn’t defeat and capture Xia Wanxin in a short ti.
He rembered, initially witnessing his father’s brutal death and his Zhao family being exiled into slavery, he escaped from the Eastern Domain and unwittingly entered so Ancient Ruins where he obtained a legacy of Evil Techniques, which allowed rapid enhancent of his cultivation in a short ti.
After cultivating the Evil Technique, Zhao Zhongchuan did not imdiately seek revenge against Lin Chen.
Following investigations, he found out that even Nirvana Realm powerful figures and even ancestral beings perished under Lin Chen’s hands, and seeking revenge against Lin Chen using the Evil Technique would only be a suicide mission.
Thus, Zhao Zhongchuan investigated all of Lin Chen’s connections, including Jade Cauldron Sect and Formation Sect.
For Jade Cauldron Sect, Zhao Zhongchuan figured that targeting either the sect itself or the Lingxi Comrce Guild would be futile, and might even expose himself.
He knew the Dark Division of Jade Cauldron sect pervaded the entire Eastern Domain like a net of heaven and earth. If he revealed even the slightest information, he would be discovered by Jade Cauldron Sect. At that point, his chance for revenge might disappear before it could even begin, with Jade Cauldron Sect likely to eliminate him.
The prowess of Jade Cauldron Sect was terrifying, even comparable to the Formation Sect, especially their War Departnt’s power to contend against the vast armies of the Dark Demon Race and Red Soul Hall, slaying countless soldiers of Red Soul Hall.
So, Zhao Zhongchuan ultimately chose to start with Lin Chen’s connections within Formation Sect, investigating all individuals close to Lin Chen, eventually setting his sights on Xia Wanxin.
Even so, Zhao Zhongchuan was not very confident.
However, the grand competition of the Divine Fla Alliance’s Heavenly Pride gave him an opportunity. Lin Chen was currently attending the grand assembly, certainly preoccupied and unable to attend to other matters, providing him with a chance to act against Xia Wanxin, luring her using Yanwu Country.
Thus, the rebellion led by Xia Yide was entirely conceived and executed by Zhao Zhongchuan.
If Qin Kaifeng and Xu Hai had not left the Formation Sect, Zhao Zhongchuan’s sche would not have succeeded.
Because although Zhao Zhongchuan’s power could now compete with the Ten Great True Transmissions, it was only equivalent to one of the Ten Great True Transmissions’ strength, fighting simultaneously against Xia Wanxin, Qin Kaifeng, and Xu Hai, he definitely would not succeed.
However, it seed even heavens were aiding Zhao Zhongchuan, as Qin Kaifeng and Xu Hai had unexpectedly proceeded to Jade Cauldron Sect’s Cloud Sky City.
Zhao Zhongchuan gathered a wicked black energy in his hand, launching another palm strike towards Xia Wanxin.
With a crisp sound, another of Xia Wanxin’s magic treasures shattered. She imdiately spat out fresh blood, her body swaying unsteadily, about to fall from the sky.
