Primordial Emperor

"Luckily, I was well-prepared."

Boom——

The self-explosion's shockwave, after breaking through several layers of defenses in front of Lin Chen, ultimately fell weakly upon Lin Chen's body.

However, Lin Chen was wearing an extremely strong defensive magic robe, whose silver light eventually blocked that self-explosion energy wave, leaving Lin Chen unharmed.

Clang——

As the shockwave subsided, a heavily damaged heavy sword finally fell in front of Lin Chen.

Under this powerful energy shockwave, countless densely packed cracks appeared in the surrounding space lock array, which eventually shattered.

After the space lock array was broken, the strong residual energy instantly spread in all directions, causing a huge airwave and a massive disturbance.

Seeing this, Lin Chen did not rush to leave but waited on the spot for the people from the Law Enforcement Hall to arrive.

Such a big incident happened and it was related to him, Lin Chen knew it was impossible to shake off the connection.

Rather than being approached by the Law Enforcement Hall afterward, it was better to wait now.

Lin Chen held the Mountain Splitter Seal, looking at the cracks on it, feeling a pang of heartache.

Last time, using the Mountain Splitter Seal to block Liu Yong's magic treasure attack caused cracks, and Lin Chen placed it into the Wine Curse Lotus for nurturing and managed to repair it. Now, it's ruined again.

Moreover, the cracks this time were more than before.

It's important to know that nurturing and repairing magic treasures with the Wine Curse Lotus also requires resources. Lin Chen was currently penniless, suffering heavy losses.

Looking at the scene where nothing was left of the opponent, Lin Chen thought to himself that he suffered significant losses in this battle.

The opponent's cultivation was above the Top Ten Heroes, even stronger than Zhang Yuan, who harassed Yu Weilian and Yang Minghui that day.

It must be said that the Yunlong Heavenly Palace is indeed full of hidden talents. Lin Chen's combat power can defeat ordinary Creation Realm experts; even those of the Fourth Layer shouldn't be an issue.

However, the man in front managed to force Lin Chen into such a dire state and even damaged his magic treasure.

Swoosh, swoosh——

Soon, several figures arrived in front of Lin Chen, looking at him with eyes full of surprise.

The leader among them was a tall man in white robes.

He looked at Lin Chen, who was covered in injuries and blood, and the surrounding area was devastated for miles. He was very puzzled, not knowing what happened.

"Brother, what happened here? Was there a fight? Did you see who was fighting?"

Bai Luo came in front of Lin Chen and asked urgently.

He naturally didn't think this terrifying battle and destruction were caused by Lin Chen, assuming Lin Chen was just passing by and got caught in the battle.

He had been patrolling with a few junior brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall when they suddenly sensed a strong energy fluctuation from this place, so they rushed to check.

However, upon arrival, they didn't sense any aura escaping this place.

In Yunlong Heavenly Palace, martial artists fighting each other was common; as long as it didn't endanger lives, the Law Enforcement Hall usually wouldn't intervene.

But the battle just now clearly endangered lives, which the Law Enforcement Hall couldn't allow, and the fighters must be punished.

However, when they arrived at the battlefield, they found that only Lin Chen, covered in blood, and no one else was present.

Moreover, Bai Luo was puzzled by the scene in front of him.

From the scale of destruction observed, the battle should have lasted a long time, at least an hour, but why had he only just sensed the energy fluctuation?

The extent of damage also shocked Bai Luo; such destruction must be from a battle between Creation Realm experts.

How could such intense battles occur in the Outer Sect? Even life-and-death duels among the Top Ten Heroes couldn't cause this level of destruction.

Facing Bai Luo's inquiry, Lin Chen honestly recounted the event that just occurred, including how the gray-robed man used the space lock array talisman to try to kill him.

As for why or who the other party was, Lin Chen did not know.

After all, since coming to the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, he had offended quite a few people. Though he had suspicions, he couldn't be certain.

Hearing Lin Chen's response, Bai Luo was both shocked and doubtful because Lin Chen was only at the Nirvana Realm Sixth Layer, claiming that he caused this destruction was hard for Bai Luo to believe.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, this matter is full of suspicions. We need to investigate further and ask you some questions. We hope you can come with us to the Law Enforcement Hall to get to the bottom of it, also to give you an explanation."

Bai Luo looked at Lin Chen and said calmly.

This was actually an inquiry into Lin Chen, but since there was no conclusive evidence yet, Bai Luo was somewhat polite.

Lin Chen looked at Bai Luo, knowing this was troublesome; the other party might not fully believe what he had just said.

In response, Lin Chen frowned slightly, as time was valuable.

"How long will your investigation take?"

Lin Chen looked at Bai Luo and asked calmly.

"Three days. Please give us three days, Junior Brother Lin Chen. We will expedite the investigation. If there's no result after three days, we will not detain you and will let you return. If there are further inquiries afterward, we will contact you."

Bai Luo looked at Lin Chen and responded calmly.

In his heart, he felt that Lin Chen was probably not related to this matter. After all, Lin Chen's cultivation was weak; how could he cause such destruction?

But Lin Chen claimed it was his doing, which raised suspicion that there might be a plot, such as Lin Chen being used as a scapegoat by someone who committed murder, and Lin Chen taking the blame.

"Three days then? Alright."

Though reluctant to go with the Law Enforcement Hall for three days, having committed a killing within the Yunlong Heavenly Palace, Lin Chen was willing to cooperate with the investigation.

If he sent a message to Wang Tong, he could easily resolve this, but Lin Chen did not want to trouble Wang Tong over such a minor matter, nor did he want others to suspect his relationship with Wang Tong, preferring not to be too conspicuous.
