Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Fanning the Flames, Now Make Your Move

Gong Siyuan actually never intended to let Lin Chen go.

Even if Lin Chen agreed never to appear before Yan Ruyu again, Gong Siyuan would still privately find a way to make Lin Chen disappear forever, so Yan Ruyu would never have a chance to see Lin Chen again.

After all, with Gong Siyuan’s level of cultivation, how sharp his senses were. Although the conversation between Lin Chen and Yan Ruyu just now was very quiet, Gong Siyuan had heard it all, so he was absolutely convinced that there was an unspeakable secret between the two.

This is precisely why Gong Siyuan harbored such bone-deep hatred for Lin Chen.

"Kneel before me!"

At this moment, Gong Siyuan’s body erupted with the formidable aura of the Nirvana Realm Fourth Level, his intense murderous intent almost materializing as it pressed towards Lin Chen.

Under this powerful momentum, martial artists in the vicinity were affected, falling to their knees with a thud, even those at the Fifth and Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm were no exception.

It must be known that those disciples were still quite a distance from Gong Siyuan, they were simply bystanders, and yet they were caught in this unwarranted disaster.

However, under Gong Siyuan’s immense pressure, Yan Ruyu too was affected somewhat, but it did not impose too much of a burden on her.

But she also saw Lin Chen’s level of cultivation, which was merely at the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

One could imagine that under such a powerful pressure, Lin Chen would inevitably kneel down. For Lin Chen, this was undoubtedly a tremendous insult.

Yan Ruyu regretted it deeply in her heart, lamenting that had she known Gong Siyuan would treat Lin Chen like this, she should not have come over to greet Lin Chen.

However, just as the tremendous pressure began to bear down upon Lin Chen, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Gong Siyuan with a disdainful gaze.

"Who do you think you are to demand that I kneel?"

"With your measly level of Dao, you dare to strut around here? I truly don’t know how Formation Sect produced such a fool as you. When Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race armies attacked our Formation Sect, I didn’t see you stand up to show your might against them. Now, you use the skills Formation Sect has taught you against your own fellow disciples, you ingrate, less than a pig or dog."

Lin Chen stared at Gong Siyuan and cursed him without sparing any face.

These words immediately resonated with many disciples around them.

It was true that Gong Siyuan’s cultivation was strong, and it was true they dared not gossip behind his back, but this did not mean they had no discontent toward him.

On the contrary, they now really wished to curse Gong Siyuan’s entire family, and Lin Chen’s words were as if he was voicing their thoughts.

Yan Ruyu clearly lacked that kind of kinship towards Gong Siyuan, not only was he relentless but also, interfering in private matters, directly threatening the associates of others, it was completely despicable, an act of a petty villain.

"Who are you cursing, you reckless thing?"

"Since you seek death, then I shall grant it to you."

Gong Siyuan looked at Lin Chen, saying coldly.

Then, an even more formidable aura burst forth from him, fully unleashing his murderous intent and directly blasting it at Lin Chen.

Feeling Gong Siyuan’s powerful killing intent, everyone was instantly filled with horror.

This was the killing intent of a strong practitioner at the Nirvana Realm Fourth Level, and Gong Siyuan was no ordinary cultivator at that level.

Today, Lin Chen’s life was likely to end here.

Yan Ruyu, upon seeing this, immediately prepared to take action, she couldn’t allow Lin Chen to suffer any harm today no matter what.

However, facing Gong Siyuan’s powerful killing intent, disciples continuously knelt on the ground, and Lin Chen, who was in the center of the storm of murderous intent, seemed unaffected, standing upright.

"You’d better retract your killing intent, or else, I will make a move to kill you!"

Lin Chen slightly narrowed his eyes, an icy glare landing on Gong Siyuan, as the killing intent gradually rose within Lin Chen’s heart.

Although Lin Chen needed to consider the bigger picture, with Red Soul Hall poised for greater action, he needed to unite the forces of the Eastern Domain, but with Gong Siyuan having stepped on his head, Lin Chen naturally would not keep a good temper.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Gong Siyuan was taken aback, Yan Ruyu was taken aback, and so were all the people around them.

They all found Lin Chen’s words somewhat laughable.

However, with Gong Siyuan fully unleashing his killing intent, Lin Chen, a mere First Layer martial artist of the Heavenly Human Realm, standing in the midst of this murderous intent, was completely unaffected.

This immediately made everyone drop their jaws and start believing Lin Chen’s earlier words.

Especially Lin Chen’s utterly firm tone, which involuntarily made one feel a surge of chilling coldness.

Even Gong Siyuan couldn’t help feeling a chill down his spine, finding it laughably possible that Lin Chen truly had that strength.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, Yan Ruyu couldn’t help but recall a legend.

In the time of Endless Sky, Lin Chen joined forces with Qin Family Ancestor Qin Batian and killed Xue Yuanqing, an elder of Red Soul Hall.

When everyone heard this rumor, they either didn’t believe it, or they all thought it was entirely Qin Batian’s doing, and Lin Chen might have just coincidentally joined in.

However, at this moment, Yan Ruyu felt that Lin Chen might really be capable of such a feat!

At this point, after a brief moment of shock, everyone felt that their previous thinking was indeed laughable.

The mere First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm Lin Chen was actually claiming he would strike down Gong Siyuan of the Nirvana Realm Fourth Level; was this possible?

"Haha, kid, you really can talk big, huh? If you don’t want to beg for mercy and just say it, you still stubbornly speak of fighting back. Then show us what you’ve got."

From a distance, Xiang Hao, who loved to watch the commotion, immediately spoke to Lin Chen.

That day, at Sword Peak, when Lin Chen attacked him with a magic treasure, he harbored a grudge in his heart and wanted to make Lin Chen look bad.

However, with Qin Family Ancestor Qin Batian stepping forward to protect Lin Chen, from that point on, Xiang Hao, although extremely resentful towards Lin Chen, didn’t dare to act rashly.

Now that Gong Siyuan had stepped forward, seizing such an excellent opportunity, Xiang Hao naturally wouldn’t pass up the chance to fan the flames.

As long as Lin Chen made a move, Gong Siyuan would then have a legitimate reason to truly annihilate Lin Chen.

"Hehe, this young fellow, he can’t really believe he was the one who killed Xue Yuanqing, can he?"

"Elders, I must say, sometimes when we give out rewards, we truly shouldn’t overdo it, otherwise, it will indeed cause some disciples to become arrogant. Look, Lin Chen is a prime example of
