"Your strength is up to par, but if you want to hurt me, you'd better train for another 20,000 years."

Xiao Chen said calmly, then put away his Xuanjia Sword. Although his previous attack had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, it was nothing compared to the top-tier Iron Armor Technique.

Xiao Chen was completely unharmed, not even his clothes were torn.

"Looks like I'm still too weak."

Lin Yichen sighed and said that she originally thought that even Xiao Chen would be injured under her full strength, but she did not expect that she could not even break through.

"No, actually you are very strong. It's just that I am even stronger than you."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said that this battle had given him a general idea of ​​Lin Yichen's strength. Even if they went to the capital, there shouldn't be any surprises. After all, Xiao Chen estimated that even missiles might not be able to break through that ice wall from before.

Of course, if it's Dongfeng Express, then forget about it.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Lin Yichen couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, the Ice and Snow Valley also arrived late, rushing to Lin Yichen with solemn expressions.

"Valley Master, I'm late in coming to your rescue. What happened?"

Seeing dozens of people with superpowers looking at her, Lin Yichen simply shook her head.

"It's nothing, it was just a commotion caused by my sparring with Brother Xiao Chen. Don't let this get out."

Upon hearing Ariel Lin's words, the superhumans present were all stunned. So this was called a friendly spar? It felt like they were getting serious.

But since it came from the Valley Master, they couldn't say anything, and prepared to leave. However, Lin Yichen stopped them before they could leave.

"Go tell King Lei that I have agreed to the matter of the capital."

As his subordinates left, Xiao Chen simply said something under his breath.

"The waters in the capital are very deep; if you go there, you must prioritize your own safety."

Aren't you coming with me?

Lin Yichen pleaded, but Xiao Chen just smiled.

"Have you forgotten what I told you before? I hope you can become independent and self-reliant, instead of needing my help for everything. Besides, I'm going into seclusion soon."

Upon hearing this, Ariel Lin lowered her head, realizing that she seemed to have become too dependent on Xiao Chen, and she didn't know when it had started.

But soon, Lin Yichen learned what Xiao Chen had said. After taking a deep breath, she said with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything with the Lin family when you come out of seclusion."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen showed a relieved expression and then said.

"Don't worry, I've already told Lin Fan about what's going on here. He'll be going with you. Lin Fan is quite shrewd, and he also needs to handle the Lin family's affairs personally, so it's better if the two of you go together."

"Um."

After learning about this, Ariel Lin did not resist, or rather, her original plan was to go with Lin Fan. After all, he was her brother. Although she had lost that memory, the blood connection was undeniable.

"In that case, it's time for me to leave."

Xiao Chen smiled, patted Lin Yichen on the shoulder and then turned around, but Lin Yichen suddenly tackled Xiao Chen to the ground.

What are you going to do?

"I want you!"

...

A few days passed, and looking at the empty space around her, Lin Yichen couldn't help but sigh. But she quickly made up her mind that when Xiao Chen reappeared, she would definitely be better off than she was now!

Meanwhile, in the city, Lin Fan looked at the bound zombies in the laboratory, his expression growing serious. They had been studying the zombies for many days, but had not yet developed an antidote for the zombie virus.

In other words, if you get injured, you will definitely die.

But Lin Fan couldn't care less about that now. He needed to find Lin Yichen in the black market and then go to the Lin family together to take revenge.

"Boss, have a safe journey! Be careful, the brothers and I are waiting for you here!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to leave, Qingfeng stepped forward and spoke. Lin Fan turned around upon hearing this, only to find that the brothers of the Underworld Temple had gathered together at some point.

He then roared, "Respectfully bidding farewell to the God of the Underworld!"

His eyes were still a little red as he spoke. Seeing this, Lin Fan laughed and scolded, "Why are you making it sound like we're facing life and death? I'm not dead. Don't worry, once I've dealt with the Lin family's affairs and come back, I will definitely lead you to restore the glory of the Underworld Temple!"

After speaking, Lin Fan looked at Qingfeng again.

"Qingfeng, you're in charge of the Underworld Temple while I'm gone. Your safety is the top priority!"

"Rest assured, Lord, I will defend the Underworld Palace to the death. If anything happens to the Underworld Palace, I will offer my head in retribution!"

Qingfeng said expressionlessly, but his hand gripped the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword tightly!

"Okay, I believe you. I'm leaving now, goodbye!"

After saying that, Lin Fan transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from their sight in an instant. After breaking through to SS level, Lin Fan used lightning abilities even more frequently.

When transformed into lightning, Lin Fan's speed can reach thousands of miles per hour, but it still cannot reach the speed of true lightning, simply because Lin Fan's body cannot withstand such immense pressure.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen sat leisurely on the Xuanjia Sword, searching for a suitable place to cultivate in seclusion. Finally, after searching for a while, Xiao Chen found a suitable mountain.

He then leisurely flew down, maneuvering the Xuanjia Sword.

"break!"

Xiao Chen directly controlled the Xuanjia Sword to strike the mountain, quickly breaking through a very suitable cave. He entered the cave and casually set up a Xuan-level peak defensive array in front of the cave entrance.

"I guess it will be a year before I come out again."

Xiao Chen shook his head and thought to himself that this seclusion was not only about breaking through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, but more importantly, Xiao Chen needed to learn several immortal techniques and martial arts skills, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to unleash his full combat power.

Just after Xiao Chen began his seclusion, An Xing returned from the distant mountain city, bringing with him his boundless rage.
