"Who... who is he? How dare he be so presumptuous outside the palace!"
"Wait, why does he look so familiar?"
"Lin Chen, that's Lin Chen!"
Many civil and military officials suddenly paused, their expressions changing drastically.
After all, Lin Chen was once the most dazzling genius in the Great Cang Kingdom. He had won countless honors at home and abroad, and often came to the palace to receive rewards, so these civil and military officials naturally recognized him.
After seeing Lin Chen, someone suddenly trembled.
He whispered, "Zhao Wuji's entire family was exterminated. Could it be... Lin Chen did it?"
A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
In an instant, the expressions of all civil and military officials became extremely ugly.
Lin Chen was covered in blood, his pupils filled with a cold killing intent.
He was like a ferocious beast that wanted to tear everything apart!
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Lin Chen, the hearts of the civil and military officials trembled again.
Zhao Wuji had once tried Lin Chen in the imperial city and stripped him of all his titles.
That scene was still fresh in their minds.
Not only that, when Lin Ning'er went to take Lin Chen home, he even laughed and forced Lin Ning'er to kneel before releasing Lin Chen.
After kneeling, Zhao Wuji continued by saying that no one was allowed to lend Lin Chen a carriage.
This led to Lin Ning'er carrying the unconscious Lin Chen on her back and traveling for three days and nights before returning home.
To people like them, they didn't care about the thoughts of ants.
So they didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhao Wuji making things difficult for a useless person.
But the key was that this former useless person had not only joined the Blazing Sun Sect, but had also returned!
For a time, all the civil and military officials outside the Meridian Gate were in a dilemma.
Should they continue to enter the court?
Lin Chen stood outside the palace gate, exuding an evil aura.
Who dared to provoke him?
At this moment, a group of young men and women dressed in luxurious clothes came from a distance.
They were chatting and laughing as they rushed to court.
Coincidentally, the autumn hunt was about to begin, and they had come to the palace to meet the princess and obtain the qualification tokens for the autumn hunt.
The autumn hunt was a competition among the children of the royal family and nobles. Whoever hunted more妖兽would naturally be stronger.
When these disciples arrived outside the palace, their footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Who is this?"
The young man in the lead frowned slightly and said, "How dare you stand outside the palace? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Get lost, you're blocking our way!"
Another young man spoke arrogantly.
They were either princes or princesses, or the sons or daughters of princes.
When they spoke, they didn't take anyone seriously.
Lin Chen slowly turned his head and glanced at the group of young men and women.
"It's you, Lin Chen!"
The young man in the lead was taken aback for a moment, then smiled ferociously. "I heard that you were accepted as a disciple of the Blazing Sun Sect because of some strange stroke of luck. It's really interesting. I didn't expect that you, a useless person who was dumped by my sister Xue'er, could actually make a comeback!"
Lin Chen looked at the young man. He was Su Huanxue's younger brother, Su Ze.
He was also the current crown prince of the Great Cang Kingdom.
Su Ze had always been extremely talented and had been personally trained by the royal family. The royal family wanted to cultivate him into an all-rounded genius who was proficient in both literature and martial arts. Not only would he possess extraordinary combat strength, but he would also be able to succeed to the throne in the future!
Su Huanxue's biological brother?
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Today was the deadline for the three-year agreement!
If he killed Su Huanxue, as her biological brother, Su Ze would definitely find ways to seek revenge.
In that case, it would be better to kill him first!
Sensing the change in Lin Chen's aura, Su Ze's eyes narrowed, and then he laughed wildly and said, "What, you useless trash, do you dare to attack me!"
"Hahaha, Your Highness, this kid is courting death!"
"Stop talking nonsense with him and just kill him!"
This group of young people were young and vigorous.
They didn't have the slightest bit of awe for this "number one genius of the Great Cang Kingdom" who had been down and out for half a year.
"Charge!"
Su Ze waved his hand and summoned his spirit beast.
An extraordinary and majestic lion appeared, tall and proud, with a faint flash of lightning in its eyes.
A fifth-level spirit beast, the Thunder Lion!
"Trash, let's see how I kill you!"
Su Ze laughed loudly and revealed his cultivation realm.
The sixth level of the Earth Spirit Realm!
Based on his age, being at the sixth level of the Earth Spirit Realm was not weak.
No wonder the Great Cang Kingdom had made him the crown prince.
The other princes and sons also rushed forward one after another, afraid of falling behind.
"Lin Chen, do you want me to make a move?"
Tun Tun lay on Lin Chen's shoulder and asked.
Lin Chen didn't reply, but his body suddenly shot out like a ferocious humanoid beast, charging into the crowd.
The majestic body of the Myriad Wood Divine Tree bloomed, and its aura surged, extremely calm and heavy.
That profound immortal aura circulated throughout his body.
In the next moment, Lin Chen's fist carried enormous power as he threw a punch!
Along the way, no matter who it was, they couldn't withstand a single punch from him.
The leader, Su Ze, was punched, his entire arm bone shattering, and he was sent flying with a miserable howl.
As for his mighty Thunder Lion, Lin Chen punched it squarely between the eyebrows, killing it instantly!
A majestic fifth-level spirit beast couldn't withstand a single move!
This was simply a one-sided massacre!
Below, the civil and military officials were stunned.
They trembled all over, their faces pale as paper.
This... this was too cruel!
Lin Chen's body was like a thick and majestic giant elephant. He didn't use any fancy moves, but simply rampaged through the crowd. Any of the princes or sons who touched him immediately spat out blood and flew backward.
A single touch was enough to inflict serious injuries!
In just a few breaths, more than ten of the prince's children were heavily injured and collapsed to the ground.
They couldn't get up for a long time.
Lin Chen stopped, glanced at everyone, and said proudly, "You call yourselves geniuses at this level? If I were as weak as you, I would have found a place to hang myself long ago. How embarrassing!"
As he spoke, his voice was like a loud bell, exploding directly!
Many of the princes and sons looked pained and confused.
'Could it be that we are really that bad?'
'Otherwise, why can't we withstand even one of his moves!'
These people were still young and had immature mentalities.
Moreover, they were usually geniuses who were praised by everyone.
When had they ever been so humiliated?
Today, Lin Chen not only defeated them effortlessly, but his words were like sword light, piercing their hearts!
Their desire for martial arts was completely destroyed.
From now on, it would be difficult for them to make any progress in their cultivation!
Although they had escaped death, it was even more painful than killing them!
Lin Chen's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Su Ze's face again.
"You must be wondering why I'm here today."
"Today is the day that Su Huanxue and I agreed upon!"
"I came here... to kill her!"
Lin Chen said each word clearly, his voice as hard as iron.
Su Ze's pupils gradually regained their vitality. He screamed, "This is between you and my sister, why do you want to attack me!"
"Because, I've always liked to nip things in the bud!"
Lin Chen's face revealed a ferocious expression as he slapped Su Ze with his palm.
"Stop!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out.
