Bab 49: 49. Threat
Bo Xuan sensed something was wrong.
She tried to escape, but it was already too late.
The powerful suction kept pulling at her soul.
"Ice Extreme Heaven Palm!"
A surge of energy filled with extreme cold erupted from within Bo Xuan, hoping to break the strange pull.
It was a good thought.
Unfortunately, not realistic!
In the end, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
She could only watch helplessly as her soul was gradually devoured by the strange force, powerless to resist.
Ding! Bo Xuan has generated despair. Emotional value +500.
"Master!"
Lin Qingtan wanted to rush forward to help, but her senior brother Chen Kui held her back.
"Junior Sister, if you go up now, it will be a pointless sacrifice. Run quickly!"
"No, I have to save Master!"
Lin Qingtan burst into tears, overwhelmed by regret, remorse, and all sorts of emotions.
Ding! Lin Qingtan has generated self-blame, regret, breakdown. Emotional value +699.
"Junior Sister, if the green hills remain, there's hope for firewood!" Chen Kui's eyes were bloodshot, but he kept his composure.
Their master couldn't defeat him.
If they stepped in, they would just throw their lives away meaninglessly.
Bo Xuan used her last ounce of strength to shout, "Chen Kui, I'll hold him off. Take Qingtan and go. I'm entrusting her to you!"
Holding him off?
Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle at that.
You're already my prisoner.
Why do you think you're holding me off instead of me restraining you?
Who gave you that confidence?
Who are you trying to kid?
At this point, Chen Kui pulled Lin Qingtan, ready to flee.
Chen Xuan was not about to let them go.
With a flick of his sleeve, a terrifying surge of energy blocked their escape.
Seeing this, Bo Xuan attempted to self-destruct her soul to seriously wound Chen Xuan.
But before she could act, her soul was completely sucked into the vortex released by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Without her soul, her body fell lifelessly to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Qingtan stood frozen in place.
Chen Kui, panicking, said, "Junior Sister, go! Don't let Master's sacrifice be in vain!"
"Go? Where?"
Chen Xuan put away his sword and looked at them, eyes glinting with amusement.
Lin Qingtan, snapped back to reality, red-eyed, screamed at Chen Xuan, "Bastard! Give me back my Master's soul!"
Ding! Lin Qingtan has generated rage. Emotional value +699.
Chen Kui quickly stepped in front of Lin Qingtan and grabbed her arm with a grave expression, saying, "Junior Sister, don't be impulsive! Master valued you greatly. If you get caught, who will save her?"
Hearing Chen Kui's words, Lin Qingtan calmed down.
Right!
Master had said that she had a unique constitution and exceptional talent.
She couldn't just die like this.
Only by surviving could she avenge her master and protect the Lin family!
Chen Kui pulled Lin Qingtan and bolted like lightning.
But they hadn't gone far before Chen Xuan appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
Chen Kui changed direction, trying to escape a different way, only for Chen Xuan to appear in front of them again.
After several more failed attempts, Chen Kui felt despair.
He looked at the handsome young man in front of him, completely defeated.
It felt like a cat toying with a mouse.
Chen Kui knew escaping today was impossible.
He turned to Lin Qingtan and said, "Junior Sister, I'll hold him off. You go!"
"Senior Brother Chen Kui!"
Lin Qingtan's face was filled with despair.
Chen Kui replied, "I believe in you. You will save us one day."
"But…"
"Go!"
"I…"
"Go! Don't make me turn on you!"
Chen Kui pushed Lin Qingtan away and then, gripping his sword, charged at Chen Xuan, intending to buy time.
A Nirvana Realm cultivator holding back a Samsara Realm expert?
What a joke!
Chen Xuan smirked and raised the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Instantly, a thick wave of dark energy surged out.
It formed a massive bubble, trapping Chen Kui within it.
Before Lin Qingtan could react, his soul was also drawn into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!
He was reunited with Bo Xuan.
But as his junior sister, Lin Qingtan did not feel any joy for them.
Instead, her face turned pale, looking at Chen Xuan in despair and helplessness. "You…you…"
She struggled to get the words out.
Chen Xuan put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, looked at her calmly, and said, "Go on, keep running. I have time to play with you."
Her last hope shattered.
Despair and helplessness started to fill her eyes.
Ding! Lin Qingtan has generated despair and helplessness. Emotional value +500.
Lin Qingtan fell to her knees, "Why? Why are you targeting the Lin family?"
Chen Xuan ignored her question.
Instead, he moved in a flash, appearing in front of her.
He grabbed her delicate chin, looking down at her.
"Lin Qingtan, you don't want anything to happen to Lin Xiao, Liu Yan, or Lin Dong, do you?"
"What have you done to them?"
"Guess."
"You bastard! What do you want?"
Lin Qingtan barely finished speaking before a loud slap landed across her face, leaving her stunned.
Chen Xuan sneered, "Insult me again, and I'll do more than shut you up. I'll let your parents witness it all."
The mention of her parents made Lin Qingtan surrender immediately.
She dropped to her knees, clinging to Chen Xuan's leg. "Please, please don't harm them. They're innocent."
Chen Xuan patted her delicate face with a cold smile. "That depends on how well you behave."
Lin Qingtan wiped her tears, nodding desperately. "Okay, okay, just don't hurt them. I'll do anything!"
"That's more like it."
Chen Xuan chuckled in satisfaction, then grabbed her and vanished.
They reappeared in the forest behind the Lin family's estate.
Lin Qingtan was confused about why they were here.
Then she heard a horrified voice.
"Qingtan! When did you come back?"
Before she could respond, she heard Liu Yan's voice scolding.
"You monster! Let go of Qingtan!"
She feared Qingtan might suffer the same fate as herself.
The events of that day were still fresh in her mind.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Chen Xuan apart.
But the gap in strength was too great, and she could only submit to his will.
When she insulted him, Chen Xuan backhanded her, sending her flying into a tree.
"Mother!"
Lin Qingtan cried out in anger, looking at Chen Xuan furiously, "You promised not to hurt them!"
Chen Xuan casually replied, "Out of line. Had to be taught a lesson."
"Father! Mother!"
Panicking, Lin Qingtan tried to rush to them, only to be pulled back by Chen Xuan.
"If you want to save them that badly, are you willing to listen?"
