Chapter 145 Immortal Spirit Internal Strife, Powerful Clan Aristocracy

It seemed the siren deep within the water was quite powerful.

At least, Lin Chen's current soul sea was still susceptible to its enticement.

However...

A'Niu silenced the siren with a single punch.

It dared not act up again.

Lin Chen now looked at A'Niu, who was leading the way... could this guy really not fight?

This time, upon arriving at the Treatise Pavilion, Lin Chen also saw his fellow disciples.

How should he put it?

He felt that Ye Liuli was the aloof type, but in front of A'Niu, she seemed like a different person... presumably, there was a story between them.

Then there was Sun Lingming.

This guy seemed to have a cold exterior but a warm heart, and a bit of pride.

Finally, A'Niu's personality seemed to be cut from the same cloth as Zhang Tianwei.

He gave off a particularly gentle and kind impression.

And was quite refined.

Emerging from the garden in front of the Treatise Pavilion was a five-courtyard residence. A'Niu introduced it to Lin Chen, "Usually, as long as the master isn't dealing with state affairs, he returns home to rest. But the master is busy with national affairs, so he spends most of his time in the Imperial Preceptor's Manor. After all, all matters, large and small, of the entire Immortal Spirit Kingdom need to be handled by the Imperial Preceptor's Manor."

"Doesn't the Immortal Spirit Kingdom's ruler take care of things?" Lin Chen asked.

A'Niu smiled, "The ruler is still young and needs to focus on cultivation. Also, the situation is a bit complicated, but the ruler trusts the master and Uncle Master very much, so he has specially delegated authority to the Council of Elders. But this matter is indeed a bit big. The aristocratic clans are restless, and may have already arrived in the capital... Listen."

*Boom!*

As soon as they went out, they heard the sound of powerful figures fighting.

"Let's go quickly!"

Lin Chen reached out and grabbed at the direction of the sound.

Space was torn open.

The next moment, Lin Chen was about to enter with A'Niu and Jian Nichang.

But at this moment, a voice sounded, "You are Lin Chen?"

A celestial warrior, wielding a large axe, stood before the three of them.

*Boom!*

The axe unleashed a blade of qi, directly severing the void.

Lin Chen was shocked.

This person's strength was so powerful that he could cut off Shrinking Ground to an Inch? (a spatial movement technique).

At least, he could sense the Xuanmen Secret Arts (Taoist secret arts).

"Taiyuan Clan, Taiyuan Feng! I heard that you at the Second Revolution stage can defeat a demigod. I've come to ask for guidance today!"

Taiyuan Feng announced his name himself.

At this moment, the Treatise Pavilion opened.

*Whoosh!*

A figure came to Lin Chen and the others' side.

"Second Senior Brother," Lin Chen greeted and said, "I'll fight him first!"

Sun Lingming shook his head and said, "You go first, quickly go support Uncle Master's side. I'll be there soon!"

"Could it be..."

A'Niu said in a deep voice, "Have all the aristocratic clans declared war?"

Sun Lingming nodded, without further response.

His gaze fell on Taiyuan Feng's body.

"Let's go!"

A'Niu grabbed Lin Chen and was about to leave.

Lin Chen asked, "What about Third Senior Sister?"

"She's guarding the Treatise Pavilion," A'Niu explained in a single sentence.

Then, Lin Chen suddenly saw the sky filled with staff shadows!

*Boom, boom, boom!*

Sun Lingming and Taiyuan Feng had already fought from the ground to the void above. The aftermath of the battle could even impact the area below. But at this moment, two more Third Revolution Peak experts appeared in the sky.

Then, Sun Lingming's voice resounded throughout the world, "Hmph, have you completely rebelled?"

"The Immortal Spirit Kingdom was originally our domain. Where does this rebellion come from? The Li Clan also came from the Longxi Clan, but after taking the throne, they forgot their ancestors and suppressed their own clansmen. Today, I, Longxi Yeyun, will clear the house for my family! And none of you alien races can escape!"

Longxi Yeyun!

Those who could announce their names definitely had considerable strength.

"Unexpectedly, he has come too."

At this time, A'Niu also turned his head and glanced at the void over there.

But he still didn't run.

Lin Chen worried, "Are we really not going to help Second Senior Brother?"

"He'll be fine."

A'Niu just said it lightly.

Three Third Revolution Peak experts were besieging Sun Lingming alone. And judging from Taiyuan Feng's strength, Lin Chen felt that he was particularly strong. At least, his strength was no less than that of Kinesis, who possessed the Town Ocean Cauldron...

This Immortal Spirit Kingdom was truly a land of immortals and heroes!

Not to mention Zhang Tianwei and Yang Liuxin, even the figures among these five great aristocratic clans were as numerous as the clouds.

It's just that internal conflicts weren't small either.

Although Lin Chen's killing of Jing Xiao and Jing Chen, and his love rivalry for the Holy Maiden Jivi, seemed to be the trigger for all this, the energy that erupted when the five great aristocratic clans no longer tolerated was astonishing.

The Treatise Pavilion was only the residence of Zhang Tianwei's few disciples.

They could send out three such powerful existences.

Then...

What kind of experts would deal with Zhang Tianwei?

Moreover, Sun Lingming's reminder was for Lin Chen and A'Niu to quickly go support Yang Liuxin.

This proved that the five great aristocratic clans had launched a full-scale attack almost simultaneously!

After the three ran out of a certain range, Lin Chen felt that he was out of combat. He reached out and grabbed at the void again, and then, without the slightest hesitation, pulled A'Niu and Jian Nichang through space.

Shrinking Ground to an Inch!

The next moment, the three appeared in the imperial palace.

As expected, there were people fighting above the void.

"Lin Chen!"

Jivi's voice came.

She was currently standing together with a man who resembled her in appearance.

The man also wore a crown, with the aura of a son of heaven.

And around them were filled with imperial guards wearing snow-white armor.

In the sky above, Yang Liuxin was fighting one against five.

"Suiyang Five Elders!"

A'Niu's face darkened, "Even they have come out!"

"Who are they?" Lin Chen asked.

He didn't recognize any of them.

After all, he had just arrived in the Immortal Spirit Kingdom.

"The Suiyang Clan cultivates the Reversing Yang Marrow Cleansing Technique. This technique is extremely ruthless, belonging to the type that harms oneself before harming others. The Suiyang Five Elders each focus on a meridian, cultivating their respective meridians to the extreme. When the five of them join forces and fight with all their strength, they have even repelled the pursuit of Temple disciples!"

A'Niu said in a deep voice, "It seems that Suiyang Ancestor must have come out this time too!"

Temple disciples!

Wasn't that the Fourth Revolution stage?

Lin Chen had previously felt the power of the Temple disciples on the ocean...

How should he put it?

Excessively strong!

That large hand seemed capable of grasping the void.

It was like all of Lin Chen's previous battles weren't on the same level of combat!

The Suiyang Five Elders, when combined, could repel Temple disciples, so now, under their combined attack, Yang Liuxin must also be in great danger.

At this time, Jivi had already arrived with people. The Immortal Spirit Kingdom's ruler took the initiative to greet Lin Chen when he saw him, "Hello."

"Lin Chen of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, greets the Immortal Spirit Kingdom's ruler."

Lin Chen returned the greeting, and then asked, "Eldest Senior Brother, should we go up and help?"

"No..."

A'Niu said in a deep voice, "Uncle Master's Nine Yin Limitless Palace has a restraining effect on the Suiyang Clan's techniques. Let's protect the Holy Maiden and the ruler first, and go to the master's side to meet up!"

"Mm!"

The ruler nodded. He gave the order, "So-called imperial guards, listen to the order, completely wipe out the remaining forces of the five great aristocratic clans in the capital. In addition, Commander Huaiyang, go notify the eight armies of the capital province to fully suppress the rebellion! Leave no survivors in the five great aristocratic clans' lairs. Clean them all out."

Ruler Li Xuanzong.

Although he was still young, his realm had reached the Third Revolution stage, and judging from the orders he conveyed, he didn't lack the demeanor of a wise ruler.

He was calm in the face of danger, and his dispatching was orderly.

It seemed that the Immortal Spirit Kingdom, from top to bottom, had long been prepared for this rebellion of the five great aristocratic clans.

In fact, Lin Chen wasn't supposed to be involved in Zhang Tianwei's arrangements at all.

He intended to let Lin Chen read books in the Treatise Pavilion for two days in peace, and try to comprehend some techniques.

However, Lin Chen walked out of the Treatise Pavilion in just ten minutes.

But at this time, it wasn't peaceful outside the imperial palace either.

It could be seen that some of the imperial guards were also engaged in fierce battles.

At this time, Li Xuanzong said, "Mr. A'Niu, please escort me to find the Imperial Preceptor... Elder Sister, we can only act separately. Mr. Lin Chen, protect my sister."

Lin Chen was puzzled, "Who is your sister?"

"Her... she's someone who likes you," Li Xuanzong smiled.

Then, he sat on the Azure Ox.

Almost instantly, he disappeared from the spot.

Damn it!

Shrinking Ground to an Inch!

A'Niu could actually do it too.

But...

It seemed that he could only use this trick after reverting to his true form.

"Cough... Fairy Vi, let's go too!"

Only then did Lin Chen know that Fairy Vi was actually Li Xuanzong's elder sister... But that wasn't right! Wasn't her surname Ji? But now, he couldn't care so much. Lin Chen quickly tore open the void.

The next moment, the three appeared on a street.

It was also chaotic here.

"Where is the Imperial Preceptor's Manor again?" Lin Chen asked.

He had gone to the wrong place.

He didn't know the way!

But at this moment, an extremely loud voice came from the distance, "Zhang Tianwei, today your days of arrogance are over!"

"Hehe, five old ancestors, please be patient. Could it be that you really want to shake the foundation of the country?"

Zhang Tianwei's voice came.

This time, Lin Chen knew the direction.

He reached out and grabbed.

The next moment, Lin Chen appeared beside Zhang Tianwei.

Zhang Tianwei was a little surprised, "You... hehe, not bad, I really didn't misjudge you."

"Master, Little Junior Brother learned the Xuanmen Secret Arts in ten minutes," A'Niu quickly added.

"Very good! Lin Chen, your talent is powerful, and it shouldn't be wasted... From now on, the Immortal Spirit Kingdom is yours to come and go as you please. The Treatise Pavilion is also open for you at any time. You can learn whatever you want. If one day, your master encounters misfortune... A'Niu, you must remember, the Treatise Pavilion will be passed on to your Little Junior Brother!"

Zhang Tianwei was very happy when he heard that Lin Chen had walked out of the Treatise Pavilion in just ten minutes.

He even made arrangements for the future.

Could it be...

Lin Chen's expression turned serious.

It seemed that the Immortal Spirit Kingdom's turmoil today was very tricky.

Even Zhang Tianwei was starting to arrange his affairs?

But Lin Chen didn't expect that Zhang Tianwei had only arranged for the Treatise Pavilion.

If he really wanted to arrange his affairs, how could he only arrange a Treatise Pavilion?

He was the Imperial Preceptor of the Immortal Spirit Kingdom.

Didn't so many state affairs need to be arranged?

It could be seen that Zhang Tianwei's worries weren't about the five great aristocratic clans.

Even when facing the five old ancestors of the five great aristocratic clans, he was still so calm and composed.

*Boom, boom, boom!*

Above the imperial palace, Yang Liuxin was still fighting the Suiyang Five Elders.

There was also fighting in the void on the other side.

Moreover, both sides were the same. They were fighting while getting closer to this side of the void.

"Monkey Shadow Clone!"

Sun Lingming was fighting one against three. All three opponents were Third Revolution Peak experts, but he became braver as he fought. After a loud shout, he actually split into countless Sun Lingmings. Then, he shouted again, "Staff Strikes the Heavens!"

*Bang, bang, bang!*

Countless shadow clones waved the big sticks in their hands, hitting Taiyuan Feng, Longxi Yeyun, and Qinghe Mang, the last aristocratic clan member from the Qinghe Clan, on the head.

The descendants of the three Immortal Spirit aristocratic clans counterattacked one after another.

But unfortunately, there were too many shadow clones.

Sun Lingming just stood in place.

Alone, he was like thousands of troops. Shadow clones emerged endlessly. Taiyuan Feng, Longxi Yeyun, and Qinghe Mang were already exhausted from coping.

"Good!"

Lin Chen couldn't help but cheer for Sun Lingming.

No wonder even A'Niu admired Sun Lingming's offensive techniques so much. It was too wonderful!

The strength of Taiyuan Feng and the other three was no less than that of Jing Xiao, whom Lin Chen had once killed. They should all be the best of the second generation in their respective families, but the three of them joining forces couldn't do anything to Sun Lingming alone!

On the contrary, Sun Lingming suppressed them.

At this time, Jing Qicang snorted coldly, "I'll go help!"

"Suiyang Ye, you go too!"

Suiyang Ancestor spoke.

Both of them went to help deal with Sun Lingming.

But at this time, Jing Jiucheng stood up, holding a pair of gauntlets. He bowed to Zhang Tianwei, and then said loudly, "Imperial Preceptor, Jiucheng once studied in the Imperial Academy presided over by the Imperial Preceptor, and was taught by the Imperial Preceptor. I have always admired the Imperial Preceptor. But today, because of my family's identity, I have no choice but to be an enemy of the Imperial Preceptor... Jiucheng once heard the Imperial Preceptor say that he wouldn't stop the descendants of the Jing Clan from seeking revenge on Lin Chen. I wonder if those words still count today?"

"It counts!"

Zhang Tianwei said, "But, only limited to your Jing Clan, and only limited to the descendants. Your old ancestors don't count."

"Good!"

Jing Jiucheng put on the gauntlets, and then looked at Lin Chen, "Come out, fight me! Today, I want to avenge my brother!"

"Be careful."

Zhang Tianwei said to Lin Chen, "Don't be careless just because you killed his brother. You also heard... Jing Jiucheng was once taught by me. Moreover, his bloodline is the Ascending Dragon Bloodline. His mastery of the Ascending Dragon Fist is much stronger than his two brothers' Fierce Tiger Fist."

"Also, the pair of gauntlets in his hand are ancient artifacts. They once belonged to a patriarch of the Jing Clan. During the myriad races war, this pair of ancient Dragon Subduing Gauntlets seemed to contain divine power and formations!" A'Niu also quickly reminded him.

Jing Jiucheng!

At this time, he had already stood in the center of the crowd.

As soon as he put on the gauntlets, his whole body's aura soared.

His strength was very strong!

However, perhaps because of his respect for Zhang Tianwei, Jing Jiucheng had previously gone to the imperial battlefield. After Lin Chen killed Jing Xiao, he had also chased Lin Chen, but later he had dissuaded Jing Qicang from seeking revenge on Lin Chen on the spot.

Moreover, Jing Jiucheng's behavior gave people the feeling that he had some of Zhang Tianwei's shadow in him.

The aristocratic clan's descendants were all deeply influenced by Zhang Tianwei...

This should be the embodiment of his personal charisma!

"Azure Dragon!" Lin Chen called out.

Then, the Azure Dragon left Lin Chen's equipment, went to the side, ran to the airship, and hovered beside Jivi and Jian Nichang.

The next moment, Lin Chen held the Primordial Heavenly Pole and stood opposite Jing Jiucheng.

"This time, you won't run away again, will you?"

Jing Jiucheng's voice was like muffled thunder!

He got up, slept until 9:30 in the morning.

He took medicine before sleeping.

After waking up, he felt relaxed.

His mind was also clear.

Only his butt felt a little sore, but it wasn't a big problem.

Today, he guarantees four updates. After the four updates are finished, the extra updates will count as making up for yesterday!

The next update will be around 2:00 PM. He won't take a lunch break today, and will speed up to try to make up for the owed updates.
