Chapter 37 — If Only I Could Give Junior Brother Lin Yan Another Younger Brother!

On the other side.

The withered middle-aged man knelt on one knee before Yang Chen and offered the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame with cupped fists.

“Master, I have obtained it!”

The withered middle-aged man’s name was Yin Jiu.

His realm was at the Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

In the Soul Cult, he was one of the nine dharma protectors of the Yin Hall.

Although he was beyond resentful towards Yang Chen and wanted to kill him right at the moment, he could only kneel respectfully on the ground. Because a parasitic insect had been implanted in his soul palace.

If Yang Chen wished, a single thought could instantly kill him. And if Yang Chen died, he would also die with him. So now, he had to obey Yang Chen’s orders unconditionally.

When Yang Chen received the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, he only felt a scorching heat.

It had a seal left by the Flame Empress on it. But it shouldn’t hold out for long.

Once the Primordial Fire erupted, even with his peak Golden Core realm cultivation, he would find it difficult to withstand it.

Yang Chen was about to call out Ye Yuxiao to help him reseal it, and hold out until they reached Xuantian Sect.

But the system’s voice came before he could:

[Ding! Host threatened and coerced Lin Yan’s master, the Flame Empress, forcing her to hand over the Primordial Green Lotus Heavenly Flame. Lin Yan’s mentality collapsed, depriving the child of destiny Lin Yan of 4000 points of Providence Luck. Host has been rewarded with 4000 VPs!]

[Ding! A rift has been created between Lin Yan and his master, the Flame Empress, depriving the Son of Destiny Lin Yan of 3000 points of Providence Luck. Host has been rewarded with 3000 VPs!]

Huh?

Yang Chen was dazed.

Such heavy rewards?

A total of 7000 villain points.

And their relationship has strained?

Not bad.

Unexpectedly, his own operation successfully created a rift between them.

In the original work, although Lin Yan had a vast harem, the most important and closest person to him was undoubtedly the Flame Empress.

Now that their relationship has cracked, it will be much easier to deal with his Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan in the future. However, if merely creating a crack in their relationship could deprive Lin Yan of two thousand points, then if he made Flame Empress completely submit to him, how many destiny points would be deprived from Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan?

[TN: It isn’t a mistake, it’s a typo by the author.]

What if he gave his Junior Brother another younger brother?

Damn.

Let’s not even think about it, let’s not.

[Host, detected that you have seized Junior Martial Brother Lin Yan’s main opportunity, the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame. Friendly reminder, you can spend 300 villainous points to have the system help you refine and integrate it 100% safely!]

“Oh?”

Yang Chen was delighted.

This system was really not bad.

In refining the Primordial Fire, even with Flame Empress’s help in the original work, Lin Yan only had a 30% chance of success. But the system could guarantee 100% safety.

Not bad, not bad.

Yang Chen spent 300 villainous points.

Instantly, the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame in his hand directly entered his body. A terrifying high temperature swept through his entire body. However, although the heat was terrifying, it did not cause any damage to Yang Chen. The origin of the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame was slowly integrating into his body.

Yin Jiu, witnessing this scene, was even more terrified.

Although his master’s cultivation realm was only at the Golden Core realm, he dared to directly absorb the Primordial Fire. Moreover, he was completely unharmed.

That was a Primordial Fire, after all. Even Soul Transformation and Void Refinement realm cultivators would not dare to directly absorb it!

The last shred of defiance in Yin Jiu’s heart completely disappeared after witnessing this scene.

…

A few days later, The Xuantian Sect and various major sects sent Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul realm cultivators.

But after entering the magma lake, they found nothing.

The Primordial Fire had already been taken away.

In the Red Cloud City.

“Have you heard? The Primordial Fire at the bottom of the magma lake was the 58th ranked Green Lotus Heavenly Flame on the Primordial Fire List, and it seems to have been taken by the Xuantian Holy Son!”

“Is that true or false?”

“It’s probably true, because the one who said it was reportedly Lin Yan, the Holy Son’s adopted son!”

“Lin Yan? The one who publicly claimed to be the adopted son of the Xuantian Holy Son at the Treasure Pavilion, causing the Blood Blade Sect’s Holy Son to let him off?”

“Correct, that’s him!”

“This kid really is ungrateful, spreading such rumours!”

“If I were the Xuantian Holy Son, I would slap this unfilial son to death!”

“Bastard!”

Nearby, Lin Yan, who was listening to the surrounding people’s conversations, had a ferocious expression.

The information was indeed spread by him.

That bastard Yang Chen snatched the Primordial Fire that belonged to him, so he wanted to severely upset Yang Chen, not letting him be at ease. But why did these bastards always pick on him? Did they think Lin Yan was easy to bully?

Damn it!

He really wanted to go over and kill them all!

Cold light flickered in Lin Yan’s eyes.

At this time, a few more people walked over and said:

“Did you hear? That senior elder from the Blood Blade Sect has announced a reward – whoever kills Lin Yan will receive one hundred thousand spirit stones, plus a fifth-grade spirit weapon called the Blood Blade!”

[Note: Spirit weapons and pills are graded from one to nine, with nine being the highest.]

“What? One hundred thousand spirit stones and a fifth-grade spirit weapon, the Blood Blade!”

“Those are enough to buy a secular nation!”

“That’s not all – Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation fire cultivators have announced they want to capture Lin Yan to force the Xuantian Holy Son to hand over the Primordial Fire!”

“This Lin Yan is now a real treasure!”

Listening to the discussions around him, Lin Yan’s expression became increasingly ferocious.

Damn it. Are these people all insane? The Blood Blade Sect offering one hundred thousand spirit stones as a reward for killing me is one thing. But those fire cultivators, are they brain-damaged? Capturing me to force Yang Chen to hand over the Primordial Fire? That bastard is the one who most wants me dead!

Scoundrels!

Lin Yan became afraid.

His master was currently refining the Soul Stabilizing Pill, which too about half a month. During this period, he could only keep a low profile.

The lesson given by the Blood Blade’s Holy Son last time was still fresh in his memory.

Forget it, he’ll return to the Xuantian Sect first.

Just as Lin Yan arrived on the flying boat, Xueyan walked straight towards him.

“Senior Martial Sister Xueyan!”

Seeing Xueyan, Lin Yan’s mood unusually improved a little. Currently, the only one who could provide him comfort was Senior Martial Sister Xueyan.

“Senior Martial Sister Xueyan, are you looking for me?”

Lin Yan revealed a puppy-like smile on his face, his gaze furtively sweeping over Xueyan’s exquisite figure.

Xueyan coldly said: “Lin Yan, my grandfather is looking for you!”

Lin Yan was stunned.

“The Seventh Elder is looking for me?”

In the Xuantian Sect, the elders ranked by number were the seven core elders.

All of them had reached the Soul Transformation realm and were the pillars of the Xuantian Sect. This time, the core elder the Xuantian Sect sent out to compete for the Primordial Fire was the Seventh Elder, Xueyan’s grandfather.

Lin Yan had a bad premonition in his heart.

He wanted to leave directly.

But Xueyan had already drawn her long sword, blocking his path.

“Lin Yan, don’t make things difficult for me!”

Xueyan said coldly.

“Senior Martial Sister Xueyan, you …!”

Lin Yan found it hard to believe that his goddess was actually pointing her sword at him.

Damn it!

The key was, he couldn’t defeat her!

Lin Yan followed Xueyan to a grand hall on the flying boat.

“Lin Yan, you have a lot of nerve! Did you spread the news that the Holy Son has obtained the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame?”

An old man with white hair was seated on the left side of the hall. He immediately interrogated Lin Yan in an overbearing manner.

The pressure of a Soul Transformation realm weighed down on Lin Yan. Unable to withstand it, he directly knelt on the ground. Raising his head, he caught Yang Chen, sitting at the centre, looking at him with feigned concern.

Bastard.

Lin Yan inwardly roared; his fists clenched tightly.

“Hmph, Lin Yan, you have ulterior motives! You deserve to be beheaded!” The Seventh Elder angrily declared.

He had been cultivating in seclusion recently. He had just come out.

Upon leaving seclusion, he heard that his granddaughter had her engagement with the Holy Son cancelled. He also learned from some people the reason behind it. It was because there was a kid named Lin Yan constantly harassing his granddaughter.

The Holy Son became disheartened and chose to annul the engagement.

Now the Holy Son’s cultivation had rapidly advanced to the peak of the Golden Core realm, and he had even integrated a Primordial Fire. In the future, he would definitely inherit the sect master position.

Originally, he should have become his granddaughter’s husband.

But now … Just thinking about it infuriated him.

The Seventh Elder vented all his anger on Lin Yan.

He directly wanted to behead him as a retaliation. But Yang Chen was unwilling to let this happen.

He was still here, yet they wanted to kill his adopted son? This was unacceptable!

Yang Chen’s expression instantly darkened.

“Seventh Elder, you must consider the master when beating the dog. How can you do this to Lin Yan, my adopted son? Aren’t your actions akin to slapping me in the face?”
