A few hours before…
Several people were discussing severely one of the hidden rooms of the Red Dragon Pavilion.
"Su Qian. Is it true that the person who auctioned off 3 High-level Silver Weapons only cultivated in the Heavenly King*1 Realm?" said the middle-aged man sitting on a high chair.
"That's right, sir. I've checked it myself. Even Silent Night and Killing Fangs have confirmed it," replied Su Qian turning to the two people who were prostrating behind him.
Silent Night got up, "I can guarantee it, Master. It's just that he has a great escape technique," said Silent Night, cupping his hands in front of his chest.
Hearing that, one of the people chuckled lightly, "Hahaha… Little technique, send more people to observe it. After the auction is over, kill him!" said the man sitting in the dark in a heavy tone.
Su Qian nodded, "Alright, Elder. I will assign more people, and I ask permission to resign," he said, bowing respectfully.
The man in the darkness waved his hand to let him out of the room.
Su Qian saluted and walked towards the exit, followed by her two subordinates.
"With an Elder already in the Heavenly Emperor Realm*2, there is nothing more to be afraid of", he muttered under his breath.
After Su Qian and his two subordinates left, now that there were only two people in the room with a sly smile, they looked at each other and laughed heartily at the thought of the precious treasure possessing a High-grade Silver Weapon would be theirs.

The robed man was startled for a moment. He felt Lin Chen's aura, then laughed, "Hahaha! Older man! Even if you are in the Heavenly King Realm, you will still die at the hands of us pseudo-" His sentence was cut off when he saw the headless body. "That's me?" he muttered before his death.
Tuk…
I could hear the sound of falling objects making dozens of people speechless, all trying to digest what had just happened.
"What did he say?" asked Lin Chen as he pointed at the corpse beside him.
Everyone who heard Lin Chen's words returned to their senses. Dozens of robed men stared at Lin Chen in horror, including the big families' messengers watching from a distance.
Lin Chen looked around, but no one answered him. Then he again attacked the closest person by grabbing his head.
Crash…
Lin Chen easily crushed people's heads like squeezing 'Tofu'. Not stopping there, he ran in all directions chasing dozens of robed people.
"Aaarrrgggghhh!"
"Nooooooo!"
"My hand!"
I could hear pain screams, blood spurting everywhere, and hands were falling. People fell, and Lin Chen viciously pulled dozens of hands and feet off.
Even the people observing from a distance wanting to try to escape, were also restrained from being bound by Lin Chen's string of lightning.
"Y-You... Sh- Shadow Pagoda will hunt you," stammered one of the people who lost his hand.
Lin Chen frowned as he remembered something, "Shadow Pagoda?… Shadow Pagoda… Ah. The Shadow Pagoda who once tried to kill me", said Lin Chen, stroking his chin.
"Killing you? I do not understand what you mean! But the Shadow Pagoda has strong backers with the *2 Heavenly Emperor Realm, and you will die!" he shouted.
Lin Chen chuckled lightly when he heard the words of the person in front of him, "Hahaha! Even if the entire East Continent tried to come after me, with just a few moves, they would all die!" said Lin Chen aloud, which gave off his Half Saint aura.
Even though Lin Chen gave off his aura to Peak Immortal, those of the Inferior Realm who didn't know the heights above the Mortal Realm only thought of Lin Chen as being in the Half Saint Realm.
Especially in the East Continent, Imperial Emperor Bing only reached the Heavenly Emperor Realm *9, and only a few people could be counted on the fingers for the Nirvana Realm.
Lin Chen's aura instantly scattered in all directions, even suppressing those observing from a distance. They all shuddered in horror. They were all sure his life would end today.
"Th- This… Ha- Half Saint… H- How come… There are powerful cultivators in this small town," one of them stuttered.
Print…
Lin Chen snapped his fingers instantly. Dozens of swords that had been in the sky from time to time quickly rained down on the black-robed people, and without exception, sword attacks also hit the members of the noble families.
Jleb…
Jleb…
Jleb…
Tuk…
Tuk…
Tuk…
They all died instantly without even being them a chance to fight back. And you can hear objects falling from the trees and shouting at each other.
After making sure there was nothing left, Lin Chen went over and searched the corpse he had killed the first time. Lin Chen found the badge and was surprised when he saw the familiar wooden plate, "Red Dragon Pavilion!" said Lin Chen in annoyance, who crushed the wooden plate into pieces.
***
Red Dragon Pavilion
An older man who was none other than Su Qian ran hastily towards the hidden room.
Brak…
The door opened wide, revealing a sweaty old man with a worried expression on his face, "Elder is bad!" he said hastily.
The elder chatting with the current Shadow Pagoda Master or his nephew turned towards the voice, "What is it!" he growled.
"Sorry, Elder, I want to report that the Silent Night and the Killing Fangs of my subordinates have been killed," said Su Qian showing the two soul jades shattered into pieces.
Suddenly the two people sitting down were shocked when they saw the two jades in Si Qian's hands, "How could a mere 1 Heavenly King kill an Elite Team consisting of several 6 Heavenly Paths and dozens of early Heavenly Paths!" said the man called Elder angrily.
Seeing his uncle angry, the current Shadow Pagoda Master volunteered, "Uncle Qin, let the nephew take care of it", he said.
"Okay, please take care of him. Make sure he is tormented and would rather die than live!" replied the Elder giving off his killing aura.
"Okay, Uncle"
***
Royal Family
Just like what happened at the Red Dragon Pavilion, the noble families Lin Chen had come into contact with during the auction were also in a state of panic.
The third Elder quickly walked into the Family Hall, "Report the Patriarch. The Fifth Elder tasked with following the man Young Master Xue crossed paths with has been killed", he explained, showing the shattered soul jade.
Hearing that, the Patriarch of the Xue Family stood up from his seat in surprise, wide-eyed in disbelief, "What! Unlucky! It looks like the city offended the wrong people" Patriarch Xue sat back down and closed his eyes while massaging his forehead.

Now Lin Chen returned to Lotus City quickly after learning that the Red Dragon Pavilion was the organization that wanted to kill him first. He passed the checkpoint by flying over the wall.
It only took a second for Lin Chen to be in front of a huge 6-story building. Without thinking, he attacked the door of the building with a bang.
BOOM…
DUARR…
The sound of a loud explosion invited curious passersby to flock to the centre of the sound. A large hole in the first-floor wall could be seen with a badly damaged courtyard.
"What happened?" asked one of the passersby.
"That man came and directly destroyed the entrance of the Red Dragon Pavilion", replied another, pointing to Lin Chen.
"He's finished! The Red Dragon Pavilion is not an organization to be offended so easily!" said another sarcastically.
Everyone who saw it nodded in agreement. They had all thought that Lin Chen would die.
