Primordial Emperor

However, despite saying so, the risk has always been present.

If Lin Chen wants to eliminate this worry, he must quickly enhance his own strength, strong enough to contend with the Dark Dynasty. After all, only by Lin Chen becoming powerful and leading the Divine Flame Alliance to rise can they have the capacity to confront such a formidable force as the Dark Dynasty.

After Lin Chen finished reading the information about the Black Yan Hall, he did not linger on the second floor of the Library Pavilion. He descended the pavilion and returned the identity token to Zhuang Xiaoqin.

"Thank you, Zhuang Xiaoqin." Lin Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin, expressing his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for Zhuang Xiaoqin's help, he wouldn't have been able to access the second floor of the Library Pavilion, let alone learn some information about the Dark Dynasty.

However, Lin Chen also noticed that even the information on the second floor of the Library Pavilion was not complete, with many details, such as the cultivation of various forces within the Dark Dynasty, being not fully documented. To acquire this information, he might need to access higher levels of the Library Pavilion, requiring greater authority to view.

But given Lin Chen's current cultivation, knowing too much would only lead to unnecessary worries, as he is struggling even with the current troubles before him. Moreover, investigating too much might draw unwanted attention, as one could never be sure if there were spies from the Black Yan Hall among those people.

"Young Master Lin Chen is too kind." Zhuang Xiaoqin took back the identity token handed over by Lin Chen and said calmly.

At that moment, Xiang Fei stood by, casting a rather peculiar look at her, presumably thinking that she had an ambiguous relationship with Lin Chen. Otherwise, given her status, why would she obey an Outer Sect disciple?

So, after taking back the identity token, Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen and bowed.

"If the young master doesn't have other commands, Xiaoqin will take her leave." Zhuang Xiaoqin said respectfully to Lin Chen.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen nodded, signaling her to leave.

In truth, Lin Chen felt quite speechless. Ever since he was framed by that dead fatso, leading others to mistakenly believe he had done something despicable to Yang Wenshan, Zhuang Xiaoqin seemed to have concluded that he was such a person, which is why she now considered him terribly frightening.

Although Lin Chen found it extremely perplexing, he couldn't be bothered to care or explain.

"Junior Sister Zhuang, weren't you going to the second floor of the Library Pavilion to look up some information? I'll accompany you," Xiang Fei approached Zhuang Xiaoqin and said lightly. He naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to get closer to Zhuang Xiaoqin.

However, Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Xiang Fei and shook her head, showing a trace of disgust in her eyes.

"No need to trouble Senior Brother Xiang, I have other matters today, so I won't go." Zhuang Xiaoqin said indifferently, then turned and left.

Lin Chen was just an ordinary Outer Sect disciple, yet she had to treat him like a grandmaster, and the weird gazes from everyone around made Zhuang Xiaoqin want to leave immediately, with no interest in paying attention to Xiang Fei.

Watching Zhuang Xiaoqin's departing back, Lin Chen couldn't help shaking his head, wondering how he could be so terrifying.

Subsequently, Lin Chen also left the Library Pavilion, not continuing to stay, as Xiang Fei nearby had a heavy expression of resentment toward Lin Chen. Lin Chen, although too lazy to deal with it, ultimately felt uncomfortable being stared at with such an expression all the time.

After leaving the Library Pavilion not long, Lin Chen saw two familiar figures in the distance.

One of them was Yang Wenshan, a girl who sat behind Lin Chen in the Spirit Formation Hall, and the other, unexpectedly, was Lei Hao.

This was beyond Lin Chen's expectations, as since last encountering Lei Hao in the assessment Secret Realm and driving him away, they hadn't met again. Unexpectedly, they met again now, and it seemed Lei Hao's cultivation had significantly improved, almost nearing the Creation Realm.

At this moment, Lei Hao's face was full of lechery, pushing Yang Wenshan into a corner and closing in on her.

"Go away; I don't even know you. What do you want?"

"This is the Yunlong Heavenly Palace. If you act recklessly, I'll call for help," Yang Wenshan shouted angrily at the lewd man in front, extremely aggrieved. She had been terribly unlucky these days, and just as the dead fatso had stopped pestering her, this guy appeared.

"Heh, call for help? Little beauty, just go ahead and shout; the louder you yell, the more excited I get."

"I would really like to see if anyone will step up to help you in this Outer Sect, who dares to meddle in my affairs," Lei Hao said to Yang Wenshan with a wicked smile.

When he encountered Yang Wenshan, Lei Hao's eyes lit up, secretly thinking he had to get this little girl to taste her. Although Yang Wenshan couldn't compare to Liu Qingxia in terms of beauty, her fragile and pitiful look really made one want to cherish and protect her.

Yet Lei Hao imagined how wonderful the scene would be when such a delicate girl would scream and plead when conquered by him.

Therefore, Lei Hao reached out, attempting to grab Yang Wenshan.

However, before his hand could touch Yang Wenshan, it was caught by another big hand.

"Heh, you're the same wherever you are," Lin Chen said coldly, grabbing Lei Hao's hand.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Lei Hao turned his head to see that the person holding his hand was none other than Lin Chen, the one he dreamed of eliminating.

"So it's you, Lin Chen!" Lei Hao said through gritted teeth, his face contorting in anger.

He had suffered multiple losses at Lin Chen's hands, even losing a strong figure of the Flying Crane Sect, which had enraged his father, Lei Haotian.

During the Yunlong Heavenly Palace's assessment, he thought he could kill Lin Chen but didn't expect Lin Chen had grown to a level he couldn't contend with.

After that battle, he passed the Yunlong Heavenly Palace assessment but had been in seclusion ever since. Having now exited with improved cultivation, he intended to settle the score, but Lin Chen showed up by himself.
