Chapter 1 Brother and Sister

  "Witch, is the eastern region's border a place for your Ghost Sect to run amok? Quickly surrender..."

  In the quiet moonlit night, the front building still echoed with extremely noisy quarrels, but it was impossible to cover up the sudden loud shout that came from inside the house.

  As the Southern Star suddenly let out a loud shout, Lu Chen only saw a cyan light flashing beside him, rapidly shooting towards the Manji demoness who had just walked into the door...

  "Jiulian Sheng Que?" Obviously, Manji was a connoisseur, far surpassing Lucheng. Nan Xingchen's move had been seen through by him.

  In the flurry of movement, Manji's slender figure flashed in place, stirring up a whirlwind. Her jade fingers curled inward, forming claw-like shapes that swiped forward instead of retreating.

  Dark winds swept in, Man Xi's slender jade hands suddenly turned black, a claw emerged, and instantly condensed into a withered bone claw shadow shrouded in thick black mist, accompanied by the howling wind, fiercely grasping towards Nan Xingchen's palm...

  Peng

  Palms and claws intersected, a low-pitched crashing sound suddenly rang out.

  This blow caused both of them to retreat three steps and ended in a draw.

  "Yōu míng guǐ zhuǎ? Try this~" Nán Xīng Chén's war intent was high, with anger clearly visible. Seeing the opponent's mysterious skill not weaker than his own, he became even more arrogant. His two hands rubbed together, and a golden light appeared in the center of his palm.

  "Jiulian Tianhua"

  A brilliant light burst forth in the dimly lit room, and a golden flower suddenly appeared in Nan Xingchen's palm. The lotus emitted an overwhelming aura of righteousness, like a lotus-shaped cannonball, shooting straight for Manji's face. Clearly, this Nan Xingchen had no intention of showing mercy, as he went all out with his first move, targeting the vital areas and striking with full force. Lu Chen didn't doubt that after the explosion of this seemingly palm-sized lotus flower, the demoness would die on the spot.

  "Boom!"

  As expected, the female demon was also wary of this golden lotus flower. The ghostly figure dodged the attack by turning around in mid-air and the lotus flower directly blasted the door behind her into smithereens.

  Man Ji seemed to be extremely afraid of Nan Xingchen, and she let out a soft cry, then turned around and rushed out of the room without looking back.

  Nan Xingchen followed closely, and what could be heard was that in an instant, chaotic shouts of reprimand had already come from outside, accompanied by the crisp sounds of clashing swords...

  "Hmm, this kid is really fierce... Is this an antidote or what..."

  From the moment Nan Xingchen made his move to when the two of them walked out of the room, everything happened in just a few breaths. Lu Chen had barely reacted when the sound of clashing outside reached his ears.

  He first let out a sigh of admiration, then carefully picked up the Lihun Xiang and the antidote, as well as the Five Thunderbolt Talisman that he had swindled from Nan Xingchen, before walking towards the door...

  "Immortal being, I'm just a commoner who doesn't know any better, please spare me..."

  "You didn't mention it and I had already forgotten......" Lu Chen stopped upon hearing this, looked at Qin Tongdao and asked: "Do you know who you were teasing during the day?"

  Qin Tong was taken aback by his words, and a faint, indistinct premonition rose from the bottom of his heart.

  "Don't you know? Then let me tell you......" Lu Chen stared at Qin Tong as if he were a dead man, word by word: "She is my... sister".

  As soon as his voice fell, Lu Chen kicked out with one foot, and the true yuan of the fifth layer of Qi cultivation all poured out. Qin Tong's three-layered Qi cultivation, which had been bitterly cultivated for several months, was completely broken by Lu Chen in just one move, turning him into a useless person. Then, with one foot raised, he fiercely kicked Qin Tong's chin, and Lu Chen loudly shouted: "Get out!"

  Peng

  Half-kneeling Qin Tong, under the force of this kick, his body was directly lifted up and heavily slammed into the wall, a mouthful of blood spurted out and splattered a trail of blood on the wall.

  "Hmm"

  "You...," severely injured and having lost his true yuan, Qin Tong, who had just been proudly standing tall, weakly fell to the ground, staring at Lu Chen in disbelief.

  Lu Chen was too lazy to bother with this kind of hypocrite, staring at Qin Tong and saying: "You're a scourge on society, living is also a disaster, go die..."

  "Boom..."

  As soon as the voice fell, Lu Chen kicked Qin Tong's temple again. The temple is a vital part of the human body, and ordinary people without true yuan will be lightly paralyzed or die if they are hit. Obviously, Lu Chen's kick was ruthless, directly kicking Qin Tong to death on the spot.

  As a cultivator, he views ordinary people as ants. Let alone Qin Tong, this evil young master, so Lu Chen naturally didn't show any mercy when he made his move.

  This kind of person is a scourge while alive and their death is a blessing for the common people.

  Get rid of Qin Tong, Lu Chen looked at Qin Tong who had no anger left and was instantly stunned...

  No matter what, this was his first time killing someone. Although he had been in the city for eight years and had become numb to life and death, if it were put on himself, how could it be so easy? Lu Chen was stunned because of his own murderous intentions and ruthlessness...

  Indeed, just thinking of Zuo Qinghua being stared at by Qin Tong, Lu Chen suddenly rose up a burst of murderous aura. It was precisely because of the existence of this murderous aura that he felt extremely pleased to take action, without leaving any room for mercy, and even until he ended Qin Tong's life with one kick, he didn't feel half a bit of discomfort.

  "It wasn't supposed to be like this..."

  Lu Chen looked at his own hands, he had seen some people who accidentally killed others, that feeling was as if falling into a bottomless abyss, or perhaps didn't even know what happened, always with shock, and even icy coldness hidden within, making it impossible to believe.

  Lu Chen couldn't believe it either, but he was different from those people, and he couldn't believe his own calmness...

  Perplexity, astonishment, daze, and even he himself did not know what he was thinking about, Lu Chen stood there in a trance.

  At this moment, a chill suddenly ran through Lu Chen's chest, causing him to shudder.

  Lu Chen subconsciously took out the jade pendant hanging on his chest, just as he had seen before, this jade pendant was also emitting a faint black aura...

  The black millet is curved like a crescent moon, and the three cracks on it seem to be hiding and revealing a sly smile, as if someone is watching you...

  He shuddered again, and Lu Chen suddenly felt the evil spirit in his heart appear out of thin air, without any reason or cause. For some unknown reason, the only thing he wanted to do now was to go out and slaughter everything in sight...

  "It's too terrifying..." Fortunately, this evil energy was still being suppressed, and Lu Chen hurriedly sat down on the ground, not caring about the sounds of fighting coming from outside. As he started to circulate his Clear Mind Incantation, warm currents began to counteract the evil energy within his body...

  It seemed like a long time had passed before Lu Chen finally calmed down, his cold sweat disappearing along with the oppressive aura...

  This time, the evil energy absorbed into his body was relatively small, and Lu Chen only felt a slight increase in his spiritual power, and nothing else...

  "The jade pendant contains a strange and eerie aura... This aura can help me rapidly increase my strength, but it can also disturb my mental state. Is this a precursor to demonic possession? That evil energy can stir up killing intent, making it difficult to control."

  With the jade pendant in hand, Lu Chen went through two reflections caused by the jade pendant and seemed to have gained some insight, sorting out some discoveries about his own attitude towards the jade pendant...

  "It's okay, the Clear Mind Incantation can suppress this evil energy. Never mind, I won't think about it for now. There are still big problems to be solved on Ya Tou's side, let's go back and talk about it later..."

  He slowly came back to his senses and then Lu Chen hastily took out a transmission talisman from the Qian Kun bag and sent out a message.

  "Palace, Empress, Xizhou Evil Spirit Gate, Demon..."
