Chapter 297: Cutting out the roots
"A bunch of ants, making so much noise."
Yun Chen rushed directly into the group of Qingyun Sect disciples who had not yet reacted.
No screams.
There was only a series of muffled "bang bang bang" sounds.
Every muffled sound represented a figure flying backwards, with broken bones and tendons, and instantly losing combat effectiveness.
There is a world of difference between the golden elixir and the foundation-building stage.
What's more, Yun Chen's golden elixir was tempered by the Nine Thunders Initiation.
The strength of his physical body and the purity of his true qi are far beyond the scope of ordinary early-stage golden elixir.
Dealing with these cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage is like an adult beating a child, no, it's like a dragon crushing an ant.
Less than three breaths.
The battle is over.
Except for Lin Wan'er who was supported by Yun Chen, there was no one else standing.
Lin Wan'er was also completely dumbfounded.
She opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
Is this... the genius who received the Nine Thunders Initiation?
Having just broken through to the Golden Core stage, he already possesses such terrifying combat power.
This... this completely overturned her cognition.
Yun Chen walked slowly to the pile of rubble and looked at Zhou Zheng who was embedded in it.
Zhou Zheng was covered in blood, with countless broken bones, and was struggling to crawl out.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Yun Chen was filled with only deep fear.
"Don't...don't kill me..."
"You can't kill me. If you kill me, Qingyun Sect will never let you go."
Yun Chen raised his foot expressionlessly and stepped on his chest.
"Click."
The sound of bones cracking can be clearly heard.
"what--!"
Zhou Zheng let out a shrill scream.
"Didn't you say that before?"
"If I kill someone here, who would know?"
Zhou Zheng's face turned pale in an instant.
"No...it's different. I've already...I've already sent someone to send a message back."
"If I die, the sect will immediately know it was you who did it, and they will hunt you down to the ends of the earth."
Yun Chen stepped on his foot and paused slightly.
Zhou Zheng saw a glimmer of hope and quickly said, "You can't kill me."
"If you kill me, you will become an enemy of the entire Qingyun Sect."
"Our sect leader is a powerful person at the peak of the Golden Core stage, and we also have several Golden Core elders. You can't defeat us."
At this moment, Lin Wan'er beside him also came to her senses and hurriedly spoke up to persuade him, "Brother Yun, he's right."
"Qingyun Sect is extremely powerful, and the Sect Master is a great master at the peak of the Golden Core stage. You..."
"You should let him go, don't make things too extreme..."
Zhou Zheng was overjoyed when he heard Lin Wan'er's words, and a hint of pride appeared on his face again.
"Did you hear that, boy? The little girl knows better than you."
"If you know what's good for you, just let me go and kowtow to apologize. Maybe I..."
His words stopped abruptly.
Because Yun Chen's feet suddenly exerted force.
"Pfft."
A soft sound.
Zhou Zheng's chest collapsed completely.
The smugness on his face froze in an instant, and the vitality quickly receded from his body.
Lin Wan'er opened her mouth in shock.
She watched helplessly as a powerful Jindan stage warrior had his chest crushed by Yun Chen's foot.
"Ah...devil! You are a devil!"
"Don't come here, don't come here."
In the valley, the Qingyun Sect guards whose limbs were broken by Yun Chen finally recovered from their extreme fear.
There was no fluctuation in Yun Chen's eyes.
"puff!"
He casually pointed his finger, and a stream of golden energy shot out, accurately piercing the forehead of a guard.
The man's body stiffened and the howling stopped abruptly.
"Puff puff!"
Yun Chen did not stop, his figure flashed in the valley, and every time the golden light on his fingertips flashed, it took away a life.
Lin Wan'er stood there, her body trembling slightly.
It's not like she had never seen anyone kill before, but she had never seen such efficient killing.
Yun Chen returned to Lin Wan'er, looked at her pale little face, and explained in a flat tone.
"Even if we release him, do you think Qingyun Sect will just pretend nothing happened?"
"A Jindan-stage elder and so many disciples died here."
"This matter was impossible to resolve peacefully from the beginning."
"Rather than leaving them to go back and stir up trouble and exaggerate things, it's better to deal with it all at once."
"Cutting the grass at its roots is the wisest choice."
Of course, Yun Chen didn't say one thing.
The leader of Qingyun Sect cheated on that idiot Zhou Zheng.
This matter is now known to everyone.
Perhaps the person in the entire Qingyun Sect who most hopes that Zhou Zheng will die in unclear circumstances is the almighty Sect Leader.
Killing him himself would be like helping the sect leader a lot and helping him solve a huge family ethics and sect scandal.
He just didn't believe that the sect leader would go to great lengths to cause trouble for a dead man, a dead man who had cuckolded him.
At most, they would send some people to pretend to investigate, just to show it to the other people in the sect.
Lin Wan'er listened blankly. She was not stupid and figured out the key point in an instant.
Yes, if Zhou Zheng was killed, Qingyun Sect might not dare to make a big deal out of fear of hurting the innocent.
But if Zhou Zheng is released, with his vengeful character, he will definitely exaggerate the matter after returning. By then, Brother Yun will face endless revenge from the Qingyun Sect.
After figuring this out, her pale face softened a little.
"Then...what should we do now?"
Yun Chen looked across the valley and into the distance.
"I'm going to find my wife."
"It's not safe here. Go back to Tianyuan Xuanfu as soon as possible."
"With your Palace Master here, even if the Qingyun Sect wants to cause trouble, they probably won't dare to do anything to you."
Hearing this, Lin Wan'er subconsciously bit her lip, tilted her head, and blinked her big eyes.
"Brother Yun, do you know where to find my sister-in-law?"
In one sentence, the question touched Yun Chen's sore spot.
He shook his head.
The world is so big, where can he go to find Zhao Xiruo?
Gu family...where on earth is that damn Gu family?
Seeing the solemn expression on Yun Chen's face, Lin Wan'er felt a pang of pain in her heart for no reason.
She almost blurted out: "I... maybe I can help you."
Yun Chen was stunned and looked at her curiously: "How can you help?"
Seeing that Yun Chen didn't directly refuse, Lin Wan'er cheered up and said quickly, "Go east from here, about 300 kilometers, there is a large city called Lingxiao City."
"There is a branch of Tianji Pavilion in Lingxiao City."
"Tianji Pavilion?"
Yun Chen frowned. He had never heard of this name before.
"Yes. Tianji Pavilion."
Lin Wan'er nodded vigorously and began to explain quickly, "The Tianji Pavilion is a very mysterious organization that is spread throughout the entire cultivation world."
"They don't get involved in any disputes. They only do one business - selling intelligence."
"It is said that as long as you can afford the price, there is no news that the Tianji Pavilion cannot find out."
"From the sect's secrets to the cultivators' whereabouts, it covers everything."
"If we go there, maybe we can get some news about my sister-in-law."
"Even if...even if I can't find out about my sister-in-law, it won't be difficult to find out about the Gu family you mentioned."
Yun Chen's eyes lit up instantly.
"Is this true?"
"It's true."
Seeing his excitement, Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "I've gone to the Tianji Pavilion to buy intelligence before."
"Okay. Then let's go to Lingxiao City."
Yun Chen made a prompt decision without any hesitation.
He glanced at the valley where blood flowed like a river, then grabbed Lin Wan'er's wrist and said, "Let's go. We can't stay here for long."
The two of them moved and turned into two streams of light, quickly disappearing at the end of the valley.
