He didn’t want to drag Yin Yue into this; as for revealing that he had obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect’s ancestor, hoping for the sect’s help to resolve the current predicament, it was unrealistic.

He had received the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect’s ancestor and accepted some of the ancestor’s memories, clearly knowing that the inheritance left by the ancestor was unrelated to the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.

The path of cultivating the Fire Seal and the cultivation techniques left by the ancestor to the Ten Thousand Flames Sect were two different paths of cultivation.

Exposing the matter of obtaining the inheritance would only increase Young Master Dongfang’s desire to kill him.

Hearing Lin Chen agree, the expressions of the gathered martial artists varied.

Zeng Xi from the Thousand Mechanism Sect had a worried look on his face, as did Zhao Haoyang and others from the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.

“Why isn’t the Sect Leader showing himself?”

“Junior Brother Zhao, the current situation is clearly getting out of hand, surpassing the internal affairs of our Ten Thousand Flames Sect.”

With a soft sigh, Meng Bing thought Lin Chen was the Empress of the ancient Remnant Race and the Prince Consort of the Flower Race, while on the opposite side were Young Master Dongfang, supplemented by the Third Prince of the Royal Family. None of these forces were beneath their Ten Thousand Flames Sect.

In recent years, the Ten Thousand Flames Sect had been on the decline, with only one Supreme Elder in the Myriad Phenomena Realm remaining, having dropped out of the forefront among many Super Sects.

If it weren’t for the relatively unique region of the Ten Thousand Flames Domain, where surrounding sects had little interest in its resources, it would not be the Canglan Sect and Eight Desolates Sect first engaged in a Sect War, but likely the Ten Thousand Flames Sect.

“Quite courageous, if that’s the case, go ahead and guide Lin Chen then.”

Dongfang Canglang, hearing Lin Chen’s acceptance, took over the conversation, speaking to the elder behind him without giving Lin Chen the chance to back out.

“Alright.”

The elder agreed, stepping forward to the center. Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and also stepped out, stopping a hundred meters away from the elder.

This distance for both of them was something they could close in an instant.

The martial artists on the scene were retreating as well. The elder was clearly an Innate Sixth Realm martial artist, while Lin Chen, although Innate Fourth Realm, had displayed strength in the Holy Fire Realm that made no one see him as an ordinary Innate Fourth Realm martial artist.

However, most martial artists present were still unoptimistic about Lin Chen.

No matter how strong Lin Chen was, at most, he could withstand a few moves against an Innate Fifth Realm expert; facing an Innate Sixth Realm expert, he likely had no chance.

At this moment, Yin Yue’s eyes were fixed intently; if there was the slightest mishap, she would immediately make a move, absolutely not allowing Lin Chen’s life to be endangered.

Over there, Yan Hui stood with his hands clasped behind his back, standing leisurely, while beside him, Yan Feng’s gaze at Lin Chen in the center was complicated.

He let Lin Chen down!

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why the Third Prince would do this.

The name of killing Li You would be carried by him; with his status as a member of the Royal Family, Dongfang Canglang would not truly strike him down. As for causing enmity with Dongfang Canglang, even without this incident, the Royal Family and the Dongfang Family were destined adversaries.

The best solution was for him to bear Dongfang Canglang’s wrath while still maintaining a good relationship with Lin Chen. With Lin Chen’s exhibited strength, he was bound to step into the Myriad Phenomena Realm.

Even if the ultimate outcome couldn’t be changed, having one more Myriad Phenomena Realm expert, especially one as potentially strong as Lin Chen, would in the future also provide an additional support for the Royal Family.

In the center of the lake, the elder looked at Lin Chen and sighed slightly: “If you had chosen to follow my young master back then, with your potential, the Myriad Phenomena Realm wouldn’t be an issue, what a pity.”

“Follow your young master?” Lin Chen sneered, “Like you, a dignified Innate Sixth Realm expert, being called an old slave, utterly without dignity, a disgrace to martial artists like you.”

Many martial artists present showed a look of agreement at Lin Chen’s words.

The Innate martial artists present were still in their prime, aspiring to reach the peaks of the Martial Path, aiming for the Martial Arts Sixth Realm. However, their goal, the figure they aspired to become, was now akin to a servant. How did that make them feel?

The elder’s expression didn’t change much, yet the coldness in his eyes deepened.

“You’ve never seen the Venerable, you don’t understand what it means to meet the Venerable.”

“I do not know, but I do understand from the moment I embarked on martial arts cultivation, apart from striving for the peak of martial arts, I am determined to decide my own fate!”

“Your sharp tongue will not help; you won’t provoke me. I am about to strike.”

Lin Chen’s expression instantly turned serious; facing an Innate Sixth Realm powerhouse, particularly an uncommon one, he naturally would not dare be careless.

“Slash!”

The elder lifted his withered right hand and softly spoke.

There was no flash of light or energy fluctuations, but Lin Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted at this moment, he sensed a deadly threat.

The opponent was employing a Divine Soul Attack!

This was an attempt to kill him in one move!

Without hesitation, a seven-layered glazed treasure pagoda appeared above Lin Chen’s head, enveloping his entire body.

At the moment the Seven-Layered Treasure Pagoda appeared, everyone saw a long saber precisely strike down above Lin Chen’s head.

When the long saber landed on the pagoda, its body trembled, and it collapsed and shattered almost immediately. Lin Chen’s entire face turned pale as he spewed a mouthful of blood, retreating several steps.

“The Prince Consort caught it!”

Seeing this scene, the Zhuang Qiang sisters were worried about the Prince Consort’s injury, but there was more excitement. The opponent had only made one move, and the Prince Consort had blocked it; this meant the battle was over.
