Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Someone is about to face severe punishment, success deprived!

Inside the Ruan Family’s grand hall.

With a simple gesture, Elder Nether reached out and grabbed Lin Feng, lifting him up into the air as if pulling a turnip from dry ground.

No matter how much Lin Feng struggled, he couldn’t move an inch!

"Chen Zhixing, what’s the point of bullying with your power? If you’re capable, let me down, and we can fight one-on-one!"

Lin Feng, disheveled and full of hatred, glared at Chen Zhixing on the high seat, growling low from his throat.

Smack!

A loud slap from Elder Nether struck Lin Feng’s face from afar, causing him to see stars and become dizzy.

"He~tui! What caliber are you to challenge my young master to a duel?"

Elder Nether looked at Lin Feng with disdain, mocking, "Fight? Do you know how to fight? Out here, one must speak of background and power. If you can’t even grasp that, are you still trying to play the hero saving the beauty?"

"Ahhhhh!"

Lin Feng’s face swelled high, driving him to madness, feeling intensely stifled in his heart.

He prided himself on his extraordinary talent, great strength, and fortune, bearing crucial treasures, destined for greatness!

Yet now, absurdly defeated by a profligate second-generation scion!

His heart was suffocated.

But more so, he hated the heavens for their injustice!

Why did he have to start cultivating as a mere servant, while this reputedly useless scion could decide life and death with a mere word from his seat!

"Young master, if there’s nothing else, should I take him out?"

Elder Nether glanced at Chen Zhixing, chuckling.

"Go ahead."

Chen Zhixing took a sip of tea and nodded slightly.

With a gleam in his eye, Elder Nether wore a peculiar smile and looked at Lin Feng.

"What...what are you going to do?"

Inexplicably, Lin Feng’s heart chilled at Elder Nether’s smile.

"Nothing much, it’s just that I haven’t moved my muscles in a while, it’s a good chance to stretch with you!"

Elder Nether grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, then with a flash, he took Lin Feng out of the hall.

Chen Zhixing saw this, shaking his head slightly.

Within the family, Elder Nether rarely has friends.

The reason for this isn’t just his mysterious nature, being mostly stationed at Chen Daoyan’s side and seldom appearing.

More notably, his methods have always been notoriously "twisted".

Many of the Ziwei Chen Family’s enemies weren’t killed by Elder Nether, but were toyed to death by him.

"Looks like someone is going to suffer," thought Chen Zhixing with a slight sigh.

A moment later.

"What are you going to do?"

"Don’t come any closer, stay back!"

"Ah!!!"

Screams of extreme terror echoed from outside the hall.

Inside, the crowd of the Ruan Family couldn’t help but exchange looks, shrinking their heads, a slight tension creeping into their hearts.

For some reason, hearing Lin Feng’s screams, they felt a sense of gruesome tragedy!

A moment later.

The tragic cries outside the hall abruptly stopped.

In Chen Zhixing’s mind, a series of cold notification sounds echoed again.

[Ding! You’ve slain one of the Celestial Chosen Protagonists, depriving them of part of their fortune and innate abilities!]

[Ding! Your initial Fortune Value was 70%, increased by 30%! Total Fortune Value is now 100%!]

[Ding! You’ve received a new title: Blessed with Good Fortune]

[Ding! You’ve obtained a Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda Fragment · Unlocked one of the Nine Great Divine Techniques, Vertical Earth Step!]

[Ding! You’ve obtained the sealed Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda!]

As these voices fell.

Instantly, a vast amount of knowledge about ’Vertical Earth Step’ surged into Chen Zhixing’s mind.

In just a moment, Chen Zhixing comprehensively understood it, embodying it fully.

Meanwhile, unnoticed by anyone else, the palm of his right hand suddenly sunk, holding a small tower covered in dust and rust, devoid of any mysterious aura.

The small tower, barely palm-sized, felt as heavy as if holding a small mountain in hand.

If Chen Zhixing hadn’t broken through his physical limits and reached the True Self Realm, he might have made a fool of himself, unprepared for the weight of the small tower.

"Sealed state, inoperable, is it?"

Chen Zhixing attempted to channel Spiritual Qi and Divine Thought into the small tower, but it seemed just like an ordinary small tower, with nothing special discovered.

"It seems to activate this tower, either cultivation must rise to unimaginable heights, or Fortune Value must increase to Lin Feng’s level?"

Chen Zhixing pondered briefly, then tossed the small tower into his storage ring to gather dust.

Yes, trying to unlock each layer of this small tower’s divine abilities like Lin Feng, with each cultivation level, seems impossible for now.

However, this item is indestructible and incredibly heavy.

Occasionally using it to smash others provides quite a satisfactory feeling.

While Chen Zhixing was contemplating.

Elder Nether returned, looking refreshed.

"Young master, it’s done."

Elder Nether sniffed his nose and returned to stand behind Chen Zhixing.

The Ruan Family members’ gazes towards Elder Nether and Chen Zhixing completely changed.

Initially, they thought the elder was merely an ordinary servant accompanying them,

But...

To kill a newly stepped True Self Profound Yin Master with such ease implied Elder Nether’s cultivation was at least True Self Seventh Layer above!

An existence like this is unquestionably a Great Power wherever they go!

Guardian!

This status can only belong to those from Ancient Sacred Lands or Longevity Clans!

Realizing Elder Nether’s identity, the Ruan Family members’ gazes towards Chen Zhixing became immensely respectful and fervent.

The fact that Chen Zhixing had a Guardian of at least True Self Seventh Layer with him clearly indicated something significant!

"Rumor had it recently that the Ziwei Chen Family’s Innate King Map Nine Ancient Patterner suffered misfortune..."

The Ruan Family members exchanged glances, feeling a slight tremor. That rumor...seems to hold ninety percent truth!

If so,

Then...

They turned towards Chen Zhixing, their eyes filled with loyalty and ardor.

The one seated before them wasn’t merely the Third Young Master of the Ziwei Chen Family, but the future Master of the Ziwei Star!!!

The next moment!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!!

The Ruan Family members unanimously half-knelt towards Chen Zhixing.

"I, Ruan Zhenlong, thank the Third Young Master and the venerable elder for their lifesaving grace!"

"Otherwise, our Ruan Family faced the calamity of annihilation today!"

"Today, I, Ruan Zhenlong, vow here, as long as the Ziwei Chen Family exists, as long as there’s one Ruan family member alive! We will remain eternally loyal to the Ziwei Chen Family, sworn supporters!!!"

With these words.

Ruan Zhenlong took a deep breath and bowed heavily to Chen Zhixing with utmost solemnity.

The rest of the Ruan Family followed suit, all demonstrating utmost seriousness and sincerity.

In this moment, they wholly devoted their lives to the Ziwei Chen Family!

This included Ruan Nanzhu as well.

The feelings she had towards Lin Feng had completely vanished.

In contrast.

When she looked at Chen Zhixing, sipping tea with downcast eyes in quiet contemplation, a stirring feeling arose within her heart, difficult to describe or understand.

This feeling, however, wasn’t romantic affection.

Not quite to that extent yet.

More likely, it was a sort of admiration.

"Alright, I’ll remember what you said."

Chen Zhixing smiled, then stood up and stretched.

"Today was tiring, let’s call it a day."

"Yes!" Ruan Zhenlong quickly rose, summoning someone to lead Chen Zhixing to a specially prepared room to rest.

In their hearts, the crowd knew he was merely making an excuse.

But indeed, he seemed eager to thoroughly study the three top-tier Divine Techniques he had deprived from Lin Feng today!

These three top-level Divine Techniques...seemed even more powerful than he had imagined!
