Tianyuan Dynasty, inside the courtyard of the Demon Suppressing Division.
A young girl dressed in a pale green, gold-threaded dress was roaring furiously toward the entrance of the registration office, her face filled with rage.
She was Chu Yu'er. Among the three great families of the royal capital—the Wang, Jiang, and Chu families—she was the eldest daughter of the Chu family, though she was born to a concubine.
To firmly suppress the legitimate daughter, to gain a greater voice in the Chu family, and to secure her title as a Commandery Princess, she had tried every means possible to finally submit herself to Second Prince Nangong Yun and secure a marriage alliance with him.
This move was indeed effective. By attaching herself to the royal family, the attention and benefits she received within the Chu family had multiplied compared to before.
But before she could even celebrate, her fiancé, Nangong Yun, was slain with a single strike of a sword.
The woman who killed him possessed terrifying strength and an immense background, so just like the royal family, Chu Yu'er did not dare to utter a single word of complaint against her.
However, the grievance in her heart and her lost face had to be recovered somehow, and someone had to take the blame for this matter. Thus, just as the two Demon Suppressing Guards had said, the royal family fixed their gaze on Ye Lin.
Compared to the royal family, Chu Yu'er's hatred for Ye Lin was definitely even greater.
It wasn't because of how much she loved the deceased Second Prince. It was simply because once the Second Prince died, her path to climbing the social ladder was completely severed, and the Chu family would no longer treat her as they had before.
Therefore, the moment she heard today that Ye Lin, the scapegoat, had appeared at the Demon Suppressing Division, she immediately led her people and barged in.
The reason she didn't dare to rush straight into the registration office to kill Ye Lin was that Old Xiao inside had once killed over a dozen royal relatives and ended up completely unscathed. No matter how much she wanted to kill Ye Lin, she didn't dare to act rashly there.
“Old Zhao, Lu Chen, the moment that dog Ye Lin comes out, capture him immediately. This Commandery Princess wants to personally slice him into a thousand pieces!”
Looking at the slowly opening door of the registration office, Chu Yu'er commanded the old man and the youth beside her, her face filled with killing intent.
Old Zhao was the Dao protector who had guarded and raised her since childhood. Lu Chen was someone she had picked up; he seemed to have lost his memory, and although he had no cultivation, he was born with colossal strength and had once punched several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to death.
In truth, if it weren't for seeking greater benefits, the person she wanted to marry most wasn't some Second Prince, but this Lu Chen, who was completely obedient to her.
As for why no one came to stop them when they forcefully barged into the prestigious headquarters of the Demon Suppressing Division, it was simply because Ye Lin had been placed on the royal family's must-kill list. A big shot within the Demon Suppressing Division had handed down an order forbidding anyone from interfering in this matter.
Thus, no one wanted to get involved in this muddy water, and no one took the initiative to manage it.
“This Ye Lin is truly tragic. The royal family needs to kill him to reclaim their lost dignity. He’s probably done for this time.”
“Of course. Without a background that reaches the heavens, a powerful talent, or a terrifying cultivation, who could survive being targeted by the royal family?”
“Exactly. If he had even an Earth-grade talent or higher, with his achievements and his hatred for evil spirits, some big shot in the division would probably protect him. Unfortunately, he doesn't.”
Although none of the surrounding Demon Suppressing Guards stepped forward to stop them, they watched from a distance in groups of three and five.
Creak!
At that moment, the door of the registration office was completely opened, and Ye Lin, dressed in a black robe with gold trim, strode out of the room with an expressionless face.
“Do it!”
Seeing Ye Lin appear, Chu Yu'er, who had already seen his portrait, immediately waved her hand and ordered Old Zhao and Lu Chen beside her.
Boom!
Receiving the order, the two did not waste any words. Their bodies instantly shot toward Ye Lin like cannonballs.
However, just as Ye Lin was about to slap the two of them to death, a cold voice suddenly echoed from inside the registration office.
“Scram!”
The voice was like a sharp blade. Old Zhao, who was at the great perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage, didn't even have time to react before his left arm was completely blasted into a bloody mist.
As for Lu Chen, he seemed entirely unaffected. He still carried an unrivaled force as he smashed a heavy punch toward Ye Lin's forehead.
But how could Ye Lin tolerate him? Sensing the fierce power on his opponent, Ye Lin directly unleashed the full power of his completed Nine Suns Heaven-Shaking Fist and the hundredfold attack multiplier of the Heavenly Dao Seal.
Rumble!
Originally, after Ye Lin's cultivation had progressed once more, his colossal strength of one million jin had already reached 1.2 million jin. The Nine Suns Heaven-Shaking Fist was also a completed Heaven-grade technique, capable of increasing his combat power by five times.
Combined with the hundredfold multiplier of the Heavenly Dao Seal, the power of Ye Lin's punch had reached a terrifying six hundred million jin.
Although such a terrifying power was limited to his fist, the moment he threw this punch, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth instantly evaporated, and the space itself directly collapsed.
When this punch collided directly with Lu Chen's fist, the opponent didn't even have the slightest ability to resist before being directly blasted into a bloody mist.
What natural colossal strength? What peerless defense? In the face of a terrifying force of six hundred million jin, it was all trash.
【Ding! You have killed the son of a Dragon Clan powerhouse. You have obtained 10,000 years of other-race lifespan, and your Luck has increased by 1,000 points. The 'Talent Forging Pool' trait has been activated, and you have picked up the Saint-grade talent, 'Flood Dragon Physique'. Your Power of Heaven's Punishment has increased by one wisp. The Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda has automatically gathered the blood vitality, and the Soaring Fairy Visualization Chart has captured and refined his soul...】
As Lu Chen was blasted into a bloody mist, the game notification rang in Ye Lin's ears.
“How is this possible?!” In the distance, Chu Yu'er, who had still been full of confidence and had been fantasizing in her mind about slicing Ye Lin into a thousand pieces, suddenly screamed.
She couldn't believe why the decisively murderous Old Xiao would injure her protector, and she couldn't believe that Ye Lin's strength would be so terrifying, actually instakilling Lu Chen, who could kill Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators with a single punch.
Didn't the intelligence say that this Ye Lin only had a mid-grade seven-element mixed Spiritual Root and was only at the Qi Condensation Stage?
How could a mid-grade mixed Spiritual Root be this strong? How could the Qi Condensation Stage be this terrifying?
She had been full of confidence when she arrived, yet in the blink of an eye, she had lost so thoroughly. Chu Yu'er fell directly into a state of shock.
But Ye Lin in the distance didn't care whether she was in shock or not. Since he had already made a move, there was naturally no reason to stop before his enemies were completely dead.
Without any hesitation, he executed his Swimming Dragon Sky-Treading Steps, arriving in front of Chu Yu'er in the blink of an eye.
“You dare, brat!” The heavily injured Old Zhao in the distance saw this scene, his old eyes instantly bloodshot. He immediately shouted and struggled to climb up from the ground.
Crack!
But before he could even move, his eldest young lady was grabbed by the neck by Ye Lin, several of her bones instantly snapping.
“I am the eldest daughter of the Chu family! If you dare kill me... my father will never let you off...”
Crack!
Clutched by the neck, Chu Yu'er stared at Ye Lin with a cold expression. Even though he showed absolute ruthlessness, she still believed that if Ye Lin wanted to live, he wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
After all, the Chu family was not only one of the three great families of the royal capital but had also been passed down for thousands of years. In the past, whenever she provoked others, as long as she brought up her background, they wouldn't dare to harm her life.
Unfortunately, this time she had encountered Ye Lin. Before she could even finish her threatening words, Ye Lin directly snapped her neck.
“Damn you! How dare you? How dare you do that?!” The heavily injured Old Zhao, who was rushing over from a distance, saw this scene and couldn't help but roar in fury, his eyes nearly splitting with rage.
He had watched Chu Yu'er grow up since she was a child. In his heart, he had long regarded her as his own granddaughter.
Therefore, seeing Chu Yu'er die now, the fury in his heart could well be imagined.
“Don't worry. I'll send you down to join her in a moment.”
In the distance, after casually taking the storage ring from Chu Yu'er's hand, Ye Lin threw her corpse onto the ground like a piece of trash.
After all, Lu Chen had been blasted into a bloody mist by him, and no one would notice the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda collecting his corpse. However, Chu Yu'er's corpse was intact, so it wasn't convenient for him to collect it, lest he be regarded as some evil cultivator.
Having done all this, Ye Lin walked expressionlessly toward Old Zhao in the distance.
