Martial Master

Hearing this, Liang Guanghao instantly turned pale, his legs went weak, and he couldn't stop trembling. If Ling Yi died here and it came to account, he wouldn't escape either, as he was the one who incited action, making him one of the main culprits.

"You dare to use such deadly force against Brother Ling Yi? You’re finished!" Liang Guanghao said in fear, his mind racing to recall that there was a Martial Emperor level expert from the Ling family inside the canyon.

He turned to flee, wanting to relay the news, but Qin Chen had already taken a strong dislike to him. With a punch, he sent Liang Guanghao flying sideways with a loud crash, causing him to spit blood, completely powerless to resist.

Despite having made a breakthrough to half-step Martial Emperor during these four months, Liang Guanghao was utterly defenseless before Qin Chen. With just one hit, he was severely injured.

Everyone around couldn't help but gasp in shock. Although Qin Chen's target was not them before, when he acted, they felt an overwhelming sense of dread, as if the apocalypse was upon them.

"Quickly report to Lord Ling Jun, asking him to intervene!" Liang Guanghao yelled. In this trip to the Ancient Yu Realm, the Ling family had three spots, and aside from Ling Yi, there were still two Martial Emperor experts.

One was a Ling family elder, Ling Yuan Nan, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Martial Emperor, serving as the mainstay among the Ling family's current Martial Emperors, a future pillar of strength.

The other was Ling Jun, who was only in his forties but had already reached the peak early stage of Martial Emperor, possessing extremely high talent among the many Martial Emperors of the Ling family, and he was currently in this canyon.

The commotion here was noted by the five Martial Emperor experts of the Dan Pavilion, even though they hadn’t come personally, they were still paying close attention, sensing everything without a hint of distraction. Therefore, the moment Liang Guanghao shouted, Ling Jun already understood what was happening in this place.

"Rumble!"

Almost in an instant, Ling Jun appeared, rushing directly over with a cold expression. How could he not be furious seeing his family’s young master humiliated like this?

He had known about Ling Yi's secret targeting of Qin Chen from the start, and even tacitly approved of it. He was puzzled why Ling Yi would continue to cultivate in that gully after being successful, but didn't think much of it.

Now he finally grasped the truth: Ling Yi had already failed during his first attempt and was now bound here, hanging on by a thread.

Filled with shock and anger, he realized that if something happened to Ling Yi in front of him, he too would face severe punishment once they left the Ancient Yu Realm.

"Let Ling Yi go!" Ling Jun's face was icy. He was already enraged about being disturbed during his cultivation, and now seeing Ling Yi in such a miserable state made his expression even worse.

The dignified young master of the Ling family was captured by a lowly commoner from the Lower Four Domains; if this word got out, it would be too embarrassing, a true disgrace.

"If you want him, just take him."

Qin Chen was unconcerned, casually picking up Ling Yi and tossing him directly back to Ling Jun. If he wanted to kill him, he would have done so long ago; he couldn't see why there was such tension.

Ling Jun caught Ling Yi, channeling his true essence into him, causing Ling Yi to awaken instantly. Upon seeing Ling Jun, the proud genius wept bitterly.

"Seventh Uncle, I’ve suffered too much! You must avenge me!"

Ling Yi was wiping his tears and snot, having experienced four months of what felt like a nightmare.

Ling Jun was both mad and furious, giving Ling Yi some medicinal pills. After confirming that his life wasn't in danger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he glared at Qin Chen and shouted, “You brat, as a genius of the Dan Pavilion, how dare you act so ruthlessly against a fellow disciple? You’re guilty of a grave offense! Surrender and kneel!”
