Liu Ruyan stood there, completely dumbfounded.

The sea monsters fled too quickly to pay any attention to her.

The energy shield, originally meant to protect him, has now become the thing that traps her.

The sea creatures in the Black Sea region fled in panic, and because this area is located in the deep sea, ordinary sea creatures dare not approach.

Liu Chen wasn't worried about being disturbed, and slowly walked up to Liu Ruyan.

With each step he took, it felt as if he were stepping on Liu Ruyan's heart, making it pound wildly.

Her face drained of color, turning deathly pale, and she cried out in panic, "Liu Chen, wait for me! I'm your sister! You can't kill me! I admit that what happened back then was partly your fault."

But we let him go. Since it's already happened, why not let him let go of his hatred?

She herself knew that what she said was meaningless.

Liu Chen would definitely not let her go, but she didn't want to give up hope of survival.

She finally obtained her second superpower.

His own strength increased dramatically, and he gained the right to negotiate with sea monsters.

The plan was just one step away from success, but Liu Chen ruined it at the last minute.

Liu Chen didn't reply, and shattered the protective shield with a single sword strike.

He grabbed her hair tightly and pulled her out.

Then, under Liu Chen's horrified gaze, she raised her hand and placed it on the top of his head.

Liu Ruyan's features contorted in shock as she struggled frantically with her hands.

The Soul Searching Technique causes immense damage to the human body, and Liu Ruyan couldn't help but convulse uncontrollably.

Liu Chen remained expressionless after obtaining all the memories in his mind.

They threw him into the Emperor's Flag as if he were trash.

Despite having avenged his great grudge, Liu Chen's expression grew increasingly gloomy, his brows almost furrowed into a tight knot.

Xiao Chun sensed something was wrong and quickly snatched back the Emperor's Banner, followed by the rest of the Liu family.

No one knows what Liu Chen has learned at this moment, or what he is thinking.

Bai Ya and Chi Yue didn't say anything, and stood quietly in the distance waiting.

After standing for a long time, Liu Chen finally exhaled a long breath.

"It seems my guess was pretty accurate!"

Seeing that his expression had returned to normal, the pretty girl stepped forward and asked.

"Brother Chen, what did you find out from her mind?"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Chen didn't hide anything from the two women and told them the truth.

According to Liu Ruyan's memory, she awakened the power of the ocean.

The ocean power she awakened is called the Heart of the Ocean.

He can help sea beasts increase their strength and break through the so-called ninth-tier limit.

But the more Liu Chen looked at this so-called ritual, the more he felt it resembled some kind of soul-refining formation.

This doesn't seem to be a product of the supernatural world; rather, it seems to be something from the cultivation world.

This means that Liu Ruyan's awakening was most likely not an accident.

It is very likely that it was manipulated by someone, or that it was destined in the first place that the Ocean Heart's superpowers would awaken.

It might not be Liu Ruyan, but it could be someone else.

After hearing his words, the two women followed his line of thought and speculated, "Could it be that you also believe there are other cultivators in the world?"

But that shouldn't be the case!

They had lived in the mortal world for so long, yet they had never heard of any trace of cultivators.

If they hadn't learned about Liu Chen, they would have thought that the so-called cultivators were just legends!

Liu Chen shook his head.

Yes, there definitely is.

But whether this so-called Heart of the Ocean is a self-awakened superpower or something manipulated by someone is hard to say.

He always felt as if he were in the middle of a giant chess game.

The black pieces represent sea monsters and strange beasts, while the white pieces represent humans.

Chess pieces come in all sizes, but in the end, a chess piece is always just a chess piece!

As for whether there are any players, and how many players are there.

Liu Chen wasn't sure for the time being.

Bai Ya and Chi Yue didn't know much about the cultivation world.

The two women trusted Liu Chen and felt that his speculation made sense.

"So, what do we do next?"

Liu Chen transmitted his voice secretly, saying, "Just pretend you don't know anything."

If the apocalypse was truly caused by chance, and was merely a misjudgment, then it would have been meaningless in the first place.

But if it's controlled by someone, someone who can manipulate the entire world at will.

With Liu Chen's current strength, he is absolutely no match for his opponent.

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either; for now, the priority is to improve our strength!

But Liu Chen had a plan in mind.

However, this matter can be put on hold; the most important thing is for the family to reunite!

Liu Chen collected all the vengeful spirits back into the Emperor's Banner.

The thousands of alien beasts were all retrieved into the Corpse King Space.

Liu Ruyan also recovered some of her composure from the pain of the Soul Refining Technique.

Upon seeing his body intact, he was overjoyed and wanted to stand up.

However, the damage caused by the Soul Searching Technique was too great, making it impossible for her to control her own body.

"I...I'm still alive?"

Liu Yanran looked at her with a complicated expression.

The Liu family women had all said the same thing before.

It's just that after death, when they appear in the form of a soul, they mistakenly believe that they are still alive.

Liu Ruyan is truly still alive.

Liu Chen used his soul-searching technique on her, but did not harm her body.

The Liu family women had inscrutable expressions and unconsciously distanced themselves from Liu Ruyan.

Based on their understanding of Liu Chen, they knew he would never let Liu Ruyan get away with it.

What if we get too close and implicate them?

Before Liu Ruyan could recover from her joy, she saw several figures appear in front of her.

Liu Chen's slender figure blocked her view, and he spoke calmly.

"Eighth Sister, it's been so long! Did you miss me?"
