Chapter 728: Chapter 728: The Execution of the Zhao Family

Looking at the terrified expressions on the faces of Zhao Yun and Zhao Tian, Lin Chen felt a stirring in his heart.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, and since these people were members of the direct line of the Zhao Family, if he really killed them all, Zhao Lingxi would inevitably feel heartbroken. Lin Chen did not want to lose Zhao Lingxi over a minor matter like this.

After all, the value that Zhao Lingxi brought was immeasurably high, and the Lingxi Commerce Guild still needed her to take the lead.

Therefore, Lin Chen ultimately decided to execute only Zhao Zhongtian, and to do it in front of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s army to make a public example of him.

At the same time, he wanted the forces at the gates of Cloud Sky City to know that this was the consequence of provoking the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Originally, within Divine Sun City, there were still many descendants of the Zhao family. Lin Chen had never bothered with them; as long as they wished to stay there, the Jade Cauldron Sect had never expelled them.

However, now that they wanted to leave, they realized they could not.

"Lin Chen, you little bastard, you will not die a good death. Even as a ghost, I will not let you off,"

"And you bunch of cowards, afraid of death, do you really think that by siding with this guy he will truly spare you?"

"Don’t forget, you are always from the Zhao Family. Isn’t he afraid of your retaliation in the future? ’To stop the weeds you must pull out the roots.’ If he doesn’t act against you today, surely it’s because you still have a use to him. The day you lose your value, he will certainly kill you,"

shouted Zhao Zhongtian as he looked at Zhao Yun and Zhao Tian.

With these words, terror seized the Zhao family members.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t bother to explain. These fellows wouldn’t be a threat to him in the future. By then, the mere mention of the Jade Cauldron Sect would be enough to make them tremble with fear, let alone harbor any thoughts of revenge.

Lin Chen waved his hand, giving the order to condemn them to hard labor, to work in the mines.

With Lin Chen’s order, the Law Enforcement Army immediately stepped forward, dragging a restricted Zhao Zhongtian to the gates of Cloud Sky City, and beheaded him in the public eye before countless onlookers.

At this, everyone from the Zhao family and the martial artists passing by were shocked, as the one beheaded was once the Emperor of the Great Flame Imperial Family.

Afterward, those Zhao family descendants were all taken to the mines.

When Zhao Zhongchuan of the Formation Sect learned of his father’s execution, rage filled his heart.

He immediately set off towards Lin Chen’s residence, bent on avenging his father.

However, Lin Chen was not at home; he had already left with the Formation Sect’s army for the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Upon arriving at the mountain cave dwelling where Lin Chen lived, Zhao Zhongchuan exploded with power, intent on destroying the cave dwelling to force Lin Chen to show himself.

But since Lin Chen had already strengthened the defensive formation around his dwelling after the battle with Chang Bai, Zhao Zhongchuan’s attack had no impact on the dwelling or the surrounding structures in the mountain range.

Witnessing his inability to break through even the defensive formation of Lin Chen’s residence, Zhao Zhongchuan immediately cooled down, a wave of fear washing over him.

Zhao Zhongchuan realized the vast gap between himself and Lin Chen.

It seemed Lin Chen was not inside the dwelling, or else he would have detected Zhao Zhongchuan’s attack.

The power of Lin Chen was likely far beyond Zhao Zhongchuan’s imagination.

He was filled with despair, as with his current cultivation and status in the Formation Sect, seeking vengeance against Lin Chen seemed impossible forever.

Over the past year, although Zhao Zhongchuan hadn’t personally witnessed Lin Chen’s growth, he had heard of the extraordinary tales about Lin Chen’s might within the Formation Sect.

Back in Divine Sun City, Lin Chen’s cultivation was far inferior to his, yet even then, Lin Chen could fight beyond his level, overcoming gaps in cultivation levels without issue.

Zhao Zhongchuan realized that if things continued this way, there was absolutely no chance for him to seek revenge against Lin Chen.

In the future, upon seeing Lin Chen, he could only scurry away with his head down like a rat on the street.

Forget about whether Lin Chen would make a move against him, Lin Chen’s prestige within the Formation Sect was such that other Inner Sect Disciples may attack him to curry favor with Lin Chen, to rid him of this nuisance.

Zhao Zhongchuan was well aware that although he had broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm, that level of cultivation was only enough to qualify him as an Inner Sect Disciple.

To contend against Lin Chen was clearly nowhere near enough.

He wanted to avenge the Zhao Family, but opposing Lin Chen was like an egg striking a rock, spelling his own doom.

As a result, Zhao Zhongchuan chose to leave the mountain, leaving the Formation Sect, to seek opportunities in the outside world.

With the Luoyun Mountain Range in such turmoil, there might be some chance waiting for him.

...

At this moment, high in the sky, a squadron of Flying Warships was en route to the Luoyun Mountain Range. A powerful Aura of the Great Dao spread from the warships.

Qiu Ya guarded Lin Chen, while Xia Wanxin and others were meditating.

However, they suddenly felt something was off. Why was the Aura of someone’s Domain of Dao spreading over their Flying Warship? Could it be an enemy?

Xia Wanxin was closest to Lin Chen, and so she was the first among the Inner Sect Disciples to sense this Aura of the Domain of Dao.

As Xia Wanxin dispersed her Divine Sense, puzzled, she suddenly turned her gaze towards Lin Chen beside her.

At that moment, it was Lin Chen’s body that radiated with waves of the Aura of the Great Dao, leaving Xia Wanxin utterly astounded.

She could hardly believe that the person emanating the Aura of the Domain of Dao was Lin Chen himself.

But could Lin Chen, with only First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, really radiate the Aura of the Domain of Dao already? Wasn’t that a bit too against the heavens?
