Chapter 797: Chapter 797: Black Demon Tower

Lin Chen’s cultivation was still at the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm, and Lian Ping did not dare to lightly provoke Lin Chen, as the power of that one arrow of Lin Chen’s was still vividly etched in his mind.

"Hall Master Lian, is there something wrong?"

Watching Lin Chen’s icy gaze land on Lian Ping, Lian Ping immediately conceded defeat, regretting his impulsive decision to come forward. Wasn’t this seeking death?

Thinking of the might of Lin Chen’s arrow, Lian Ping couldn’t help but shudder and carefully retreated back into the Bodhi Hall army.

If he were to confront Lin Chen and accuse him now, and Lin Chen simply shot another arrow his way, wouldn’t that mean he would end up keeping Xue Yuanqing company?

Observing Lian Ping carefully retreating back to his own Bodhi Hall army, Lin Chen naturally understood that Lian Ping harbored anger toward him, but it was also unavoidable, as even Lin Chen hadn’t anticipated that the energy outburst would be so tremendous.

Lin Chen ordered the Lin family army and the Divine Flame Sect Army to set up a Killing Formation, swiftly transitioning to a defensive position, which prevented casualties.

As for the Bodhi Hall, a year ago, right after Lian Ping poisoned Liu Qingxia, fearing the powerful entity behind her, Bodhi Hall had indeed refrained from causing trouble, sincerely joining forces with them to fight against the Red Soul Hall army.

However, that good state of affairs did not last long. Perhaps Lian Ping believed that the powerful entity behind Liu Qingxia would not concern themselves with the matters of the Eastern Domain or it was mere happenstance that they passed by and witnessed Liu Qingxia’s sacrifice, having left long ago.

Moreover, since that powerful entity had never shown up, and Liu Qingxia had gone into seclusion, Lian Ping’s audacity began to swell.

And with complex relations between Bodhi Hall and Red Soul Hall, how could Bodhi Hall genuinely help the Divine Flame Sect and the Lin family army confront the Red Soul Hall army?

All of this was noticed by Lin Chen.

Therefore, had the Bodhi Hall kept a low profile and behaved, Lin Chen would not have minded their actions so much.

However, the Bodhi Hall’s constant provocations and the trouble they created for the Lin family army and Divine Flame Sect were something Lin Chen could not tolerate.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Lin family army could not spare the energy to deal with the Bodhi Hall due to the frontline threat from the Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race army, Lin Chen would have taken action long ago.

Now, since the Bodhi Hall could not withstand the energy storm on their own, if Lian Ping still sought to trouble Lin Chen, it would be an excellent opportunity for Lin Chen to completely eliminate the Bodhi Hall.

Seeing Lian Ping leave in anger, Lin Chen knew in his heart that sooner or later, the Bodhi Hall would be eradicated.

Meanwhile, seeing Xue Yuanqing killed by Qin Batian, the Red Soul Hall and Dark Demon Race army began to retreat.

Lin Chen did not order his army to pursue, as their spiritual power was greatly depleted at this moment.

The might of that one arrow had also gathered the strength of the army, which likely didn’t have much spiritual power remaining; continuing the pursuit could potentially change the situation once again.

Now that the Red Soul Hall army and the Dark Demon Race army had retreated, their primary task was to recuperate, replenish their strength, and there would be no hurry to continue the pursuit later.

After all, the current Divine Flame Sect and Lin family army were by no means intimidated by the Red Soul Hall and Dark Demon Race army.

As for Qin Batian, that battle had cost him greatly, and he had deployed several methods that he should not have been able to at his current state—his days were likely even more numbered now.

At that moment, Qin Batian flew up to Lin Chen and tossed the corpse of Xue Yuanqing to him.

The great battle had indeed helped him a lot, otherwise, it would not have been Xue Yuanqing dying by his hand, but rather, he would have perished at the hands of Xue Yuanqing.

Besides, he had no use for this corpse.

After slaying Xue Yuanqing, Lin Chen sent a message wanting the corpse, and although Qin Batian did not understand what Lin Chen wanted to do with it, since Lin Chen wanted it, Qin Batian gave it to him.

Thereafter, the army began to recover, and Qin Batian returned to the Formation Sect.

In the distance, Liu Qingxia watched the scene in the sky in astonishment.

Just then, as Lin Chen was gathering strength and firing a sky-shattering arrow, Liu Qingxia had just arrived at the battlefield.

Seeing the aura of the Eighth Layer of the Nirvana Realm on Lin Chen, Liu Qingxia was shocked.

She knew Lin Chen’s true cultivation level; the power he displayed must have been borrowed from an external source.

Yet even so, Lin Chen’s methods were too heaven-defying.

Liu Qingxia recalled dragging Lin Chen into the woods a year ago, thinking how dangerous it had been and if Lin Chen had used his current methods then, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

Not until the battle ended and the Red Soul Hall and Dark Demon Race army had retreated, did Liu Qingxia turn and return to her seclusion.

...

Shortly after Xue Yuanqing was killed by Qin Batian, atop an unnamed snowy mountain, at the peak of a towering mountain range, there stood a high tower built of black stone.

In the highest level of the tower, a powerful blood-red aura pervaded, betraying the owner’s ferocious wrath.

This aura resonated in the space, forming a formidable pressure, forcing the many martial artists in blood-colored robes to kneel uncontrollably on the ground.

They could feel the deep anger within their master, a sight unseen for thousands of years.

The blood-red aura coalesced into a black mass—every time they witnessed it, they were astounded.

The form of the black mass was shockingly similar to the eyeball of a living creature.
