27. Interrogation
"Leave within ten seconds, or die!"
Such a domineering declaration stirred chaos across the Ancient Wasteland.
After waiting for so long, the Ancient Desolate Monument had finally opened, and people were eager to rush in and seek their fortunes.
Yet suddenly, a man appeared, demanding that they all leave. Who would accept that?
Wait!
Why were the Lin and Huangpu clans allowed to stay?
Could it be...
Is this person someone they invited together?
Wang Yan, sensing something was off, turned his head and shouted angrily, "Lin Langtian! Just because my brother Wang Zhong surpass you, you're trying to oppress us like this?"
"Wang Yan, this has nothing to do with me! Don't make baseless accusations!" Lin Langtian was also confused.
Even Mu Shi, who was highly regarded, said this young man was formidable.
What was he planning by sparing the two clans? Was he interested in his talent and wanted to take him as a disciple?
Or perhaps he fancied Huangpu Jing and wanted to marry her?
Wang Yan didn't believe it. "Then why are you two spared while the rest of us are being driven away?"
Mu Qianqian's heart raced, sensing something major was about to happen.
She forcefully led her people to leave early.
"I—" Lin Langtian was about to speak when suddenly, a terrifying aura swept across them.
In an instant, the elders of the four major clans all turned pale. This aura was all too familiar—someone at the Nirvana Realm!
But even more frightening was that this person's aura surpassed that of Mo Jingtian, the most powerful man in the Great Yan Dynasty!
And this person was so young. How did he train?
Meanwhile, Lin Langtian felt a secret joy—thank goodness he had heeded Mu Shi's advice and didn't act rashly.
As others remained in shock and confusion, Chen Xuan's voice echoed, "Time's up!"
In the next second, a terrifying storm of primal energy erupted from him, sweeping across the area like a tornado, leaving nothing but a bloody mist in its wake.
Those who reacted and tried to flee were swiftly killed by a single burst of energy from Chen Xuan's fingertips.
"Now you try to run? It's too late!"
"Help! Please don't kill me, I'm from the Great Qing Dynasty! We were just passing through!"
"Spare me! I was forced into this, I beg you!"
"I don't want to die! I can serve you, just spare my life!"
"Please! I'll be your servant, just don't kill me!"
Amidst the chaos, cries of desperation filled the Ancient Wasteland as people scrambled for any excuse to survive, hoping to appeal to Chen Xuan's mercy.
But it was too late. He had already given them a chance to leave, and they had chosen the opportunity within the monument over their own lives.
In less than three minutes, Chen Xuan had wiped out everyone who had stayed, even those from the Qin and Wang clans.
Only the Lin and Huangpu clans remained, along with Chen Xuan, the cause of all this massacre.
Staring at the scene, the Lin and Huangpu clans were dumbfounded.
None of them had expected Chen Xuan to actually follow through, killing everyone else except for their two clans.
Some were so scared they began to tremble, with a few even wetting themselves, fearing Chen Xuan might turn his attention to them next.
Chen Xuan looked at Huangpu Jing and said, "Your name is Huangpu Jing, right?"
Before she could answer, Huangpu Tian, beside her, tried to intervene, but a terrifying burst of primal energy from Chen Xuan sent him flying.
His body hit the ground with a heavy thud, bones shattered, blood pouring.
He died on the spot.
Everyone else was terrified—he had killed a man just for speaking out of turn!
Chen Xuan coldly said, "I asked her, not you. Speaking without permission? You deserve to die."
Shaking with fear, Huangpu Jing stammered, "I...I am...Huangpu Jing."
Chen Xuan continued, "You brought Ling Qingzhu here, didn't you?"
He knows Qingzhu?
Though she didn't understand why he was asking, Huangpu Jing nodded. "Yes...yes, I did."
As soon as she finished speaking, another terrifying burst of primal energy dragged her before Chen Xuan.
[Ding! Huangpu Jing has generated fear and anxiety. Emotional value +100.]
Her face turned pale, her limbs weak with terror.
Chen Xuan looked at the trembling girl in the light dress and suddenly smiled. "Wait there, I'll deal with you later."
For some reason, seeing his smile sent shivers down Huangpu Jing's spine.
What had she done to offend him? Could he be one of Qingzhu's admirers?
[Ding! Huangpu Jing has generated panic and unease. Emotional value +100.]
Chen Xuan tossed her aside and turned his gaze to the Lin clan, finally focusing on Lin Langtian. "Lin Langtian, you have a task to complete."
"W-what task?" Lin Langtian stammered.
"At the Lin family tournament, cripple Lin Dong. If you fail, I'll cripple you."
Upon hearing his task, Lin Langtian breathed a sigh of relief.
[Ding! Lin Langtian has generated relief. Emotional value +100.]
With confidence, he replied, "I crippled Lin Dong's father, so I was planning to do the same to him, even without you telling me to!"
Lin Dong had already offended him during their last encounter at the ancient tomb in the Tianyan Mountains, and in his mind, Lin Dong had to die.
The Lin family branch in Qingyang Town also had to be crushed!
Meanwhile, Lin Ke'er, who had been quietly listening, shivered at Chen Xuan's words.
Her blue, shimmering eyes flickered with strange light.
Chen Xuan suddenly appeared in front of her in a flash. "You're Lin Ke'er?"
[Ding! Lin Ke'er has generated anxiety. Emotional value +50.]
"Yes...yes, I am," Lin Ke'er nodded, feeling as if Chen Xuan's gaze was filled with hostility, as if he wanted to crush her.
But she had never met him before.
What she didn't know was that because she had accompanied Lin Dong to the Tianyan Mountains, indirectly aiding him, Chen Xuan held her accountable as well.
Chen Xuan left Lin Ke'er and Huangpu Jing behind, sending the others into the Ancient Desolate Monument space.
Now, it was time for him to punish them properly.
