Primordial Emperor

The Sky Howling Demon Wolf looked at Duo'an, who hadn't even resisted much before begging for mercy, and was immediately disdainful.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's order to capture him alive, the beast would have devoured him on the spot.

Then, the Sky Howling Demon Wolf grabbed Duo'an with a single claw, leaping toward where Lin Chen was.

"Boss, I've captured this worthless old fool alive for you."

Bringing Duo'an before Lin Chen, the Sky Howling Demon Wolf immediately spoke up to claim credit.

"Hmm, well done. Consider this a merit for you." Lin Chen glanced at Duo'an in the Sky Howling Demon Wolf's grip and said flatly.

"Thank you, Boss." The Sky Howling Demon Wolf immediately grinned.

This mission had been too easy for it, requiring barely any effort.

Hearing Lin Chen acknowledge the Sky Howling Demon Wolf's merit, Tian Yizi immediately leaped to Lin Chen's side.

"Young Master Lin Chen, this old monk did contribute significantly this time," Tian Yizi looked at Lin Chen with a face full of anticipation.

He fought desperately, hoping to keep Duo'an alive or capture him, just for the military merits and contribution value.

Although he knew it would be difficult for him to completely overpower Duo'an given his own strength, he never expected the Sky Howling Demon Wolf to subdue Duo'an with a single claw.

A mere half-step to the Creation Realm possessed such combat power; Tian Yizi was astonished, secretly thinking this Demon Wolf, as Lin Chen's beast, was truly terrifying.

And to be so mighty at merely half-step to the Creation Realm; how powerful would it be upon breaking through to the Creation Realm?

Swish—

Lin Chen looked at Tian Yizi and immediately waved his hand, sending an elixir flying toward him.

"Don't worry, Brother Tian, your contribution is the greatest in this mission. When we return to the Jade Cauldron Sect, President Zhao will naturally record your merits and register the corresponding contribution value. For this battle, it's equivalent to you defeating a mid-stage Creation Realm expert," Lin Chen said indifferently to Tian Yizi.

"Thank you, Young Master Lin Chen." Tian Yizi caught the elixir, immediately expressing his excitement and gratitude.

Beating a mid-stage Creation Realm expert was no small feat, far surpassing his performance in this battle, and surely earning him substantial contribution value. Tian Yizi was exhilarated; this mission was a huge success.

Moreover, the healing pill Lin Chen gave him was a Seventh-Rank Lower Grade Elixir, incredibly precious.

The President Zhao Lin Chen mentioned is Zhao Lingxi of the Lingxi Commerce Guild.

As for the Jade Cauldron Sect now, Lin Chen acted as the hands-off overseer. Seeing his junior brothers, sisters, and even younger generations surpass him in cultivation, Xu Ma'an, the elderly figure, simply neglected sect matters and went into seclusion to improve his cultivation.

Therefore, Zhao Lingxi and Liu Qingxia were entirely managing the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Of course, Liu Qingxia was responsible for part of the sect's affairs, while Zhao Lingxi managed all logistical aspects.

The Jade Cauldron Sect's current state is entirely due to these two women.

Their contributions were indispensable for the Jade Cauldron Sect's achievements today.

Everyone accepted Zhao Lingxi wielding considerable power within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

For without her management of the Lingxi Commerce Guild, creating endless profits, how could everyone have their current benefits and abundant cultivation resources?

However, Zhao Lingxi merely managed the Jade Cauldron Sect; major decisions still were made by Lin Chen.

For this battle's merit distribution, Lin Chen's word was enough, Zhao Lingxi would surely comply, accrediting Tian Yizi with his deserved merit.

"Who are you, who sent you to the Eastern Domain, and what's your purpose here?" Lin Chen approached Duo'an and asked him calmly.

"Hmph, I am an elder of the Flying Crane Sect, Duo'an. The power of the Flying Crane Sect is beyond what a country bumpkin like you can imagine. I advise you to release me immediately, or the entire Eastern Domain will face annihilation," Duo'an looked at Lin Chen and coldly rebuked.

"So it is the Flying Crane Sect," Lin Chen said, looking at Duo'an and confirming his suspicion from the elder's admission.

"Since you know of the Flying Crane Sect, you should release me at once. When our army arrives, even if you kowtow and beg for mercy, it will be too late," Duo'an grew smug at Lin Chen's apparent recognition of the Flying Crane Sect, proceeding to threaten him.

"It seems you haven't grasped the situation. I initially thought you might be useful, but your noise is intolerable and useless. Xiao Tian, consider him your dinner," Lin Chen said to Duo'an with a calm demeanor.

Upon hearing this, the Sky Howling Demon Wolf was delighted, immediately raising its claws, ready to swallow Duo'an whole.

Facing the blood-red maw of the Sky Howling Demon Wolf and its devouring power, Duo'an was so frightened he was reduced to a quivering mess, realizing this Demon Wolf was no ordinary beast, and being swallowed meant leaving no bones behind.

"Spare me, Young Master, let me go. Anything you want to know, I'll tell you everything," Duo'an panicked, seeing the Sky Howling Demon Wolf's threatening posture, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

At this point, how could he boast about his status as an elder of the Flying Crane Sect?

"I'll ask you once more, who sent you here?" Lin Chen, seeing Duo'an cower, gestured for the Sky Howling Demon Wolf to stop, and questioned Duo'an again.

"It was our sect master, Lei Haotian of the Flying Crane Sect." At this moment, Duo'an cared not for the potential harm to the Flying Crane Sect's interest; saving his own life was paramount, so he immediately answered Lin Chen's question.

He even harbored some resentment toward Lei Haotian, thinking that if it weren't for being sent to the Eastern Domain for this task by Lei Haotian, he wouldn't be in such a plight.

This Jade Cauldron Sect in the Eastern Domain has such ruthless individuals; why does the Flying Crane Sect insist on provoking them?

He wondered if Lei Haotian intentionally sent him to the Eastern Domain to be removed via the Jade Cauldron Sect's hand.

"So, it was Lei Hao, that bastard, seeking revenge," Lin Chen thought to himself.

"What was the real purpose of the Flying Crane Sect sending you here this time? And what are their movements?"

"Also, how strong is the Flying Crane Sect?"

Lin Chen's heart filled with rising murderous intent; under no circumstances would he let Lei Hao go.
