There was no other way to explain it.

During this period of time, Su Jingxing’s biggest change was the huge increase in his soul power.

And Martial Art True Intent was a power that interfered with reality through the mind.

In and of itself, it was aimed at the soul level, making it impossible for one to contend against.

If a person’s soul was strong enough, wouldn’t it be normal for them to be able to endure the pressure or even ignore it?

At this thought, Su Jingxing couldn’t conceal the joy on his face; he was thrilled.

I’ve made up for it!

The most frightening thing about a third-grade martial artist was Martial Art True Intent.

It used the mind to interfere with reality, and the pressure exerted on one’s soul made it futile no matter how high one’s cultivation level was.

Now, the terrifying pressure released by Martial Art True Intent no longer had an effect on Su Jingxing, he didn’t need to fear ordinary third-grade experts anymore.

The Heaven Trampling True Energy was as powerful, or even stronger than the true energy externally released by a third-grade martial artist.

Martial Art True Intent was simply ineffective to him.

In terms of flying, with the help of Thunderbolt, Su Jingxing could fly at four times the speed of sound.

So what else was he lacking compared to a third-grade martial artist?

Nothing.

$u Jingxing was reassured. He looked up at the sky above the road at the third-grade expert who was glowing with golden light and clenched his fists.

“Unable to accomplish anything, but liable to spoil everything.”

Above the road, the figure bathed in golden light spoke in a low, cannon-like voice. “For what reason did you leave your family? Haven’t you figured it out yet?”

“Cough…”

The young man on the ground spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to sit up. He looked at the figure in the sky and gritted his teeth. “I’m not convinced, Uncle Ten!”

“You aren’t convinced?” said the golden figure coolly. “And the outcome of that is stealing a ring?”

“This isn’t an ordinary ring; it’s called the Flying Lion Ring!”

The young man bellowed. “It can awaken the Flying Lion army consisting of the 108 self-sealed top experts who were under the command of the Rising Dragon Saber King back then!”

“So what?”

The golden figure’s voice remained calm. “Putting the ring aside, even if you do manage to awaken the Flying Lion army, what good will it do you?”

“Why wouldn’t it benefit us to awaken the Flying Lion army and get them to join us?”

The young man wiped the corner of his mouth and said in a booming voice, “With the Flying Lion army joining us, our strength will double! And as the person who awakened them, I will be rewarded handsomely by the family clan. I’ll use this opportunity to…”

“How childish.”

The golden figure cut him off indifferently. “Who told you that you can have the Flying Lions join the faction you belong to once you awaken them? Who do you think the Flying Lion army is? A bunch of greedy killers?”

Lo

“And, did no one tell you that we are at odds with the Rising Dragon Saber King?”

In front of everyone, the golden figure shared a sensational tale of a hundred years.

Han Shilong was so shocked that he forgot about the pain in his body.

After hearing the story, He Lieren laid on the ground and played dead.

Di Donglei’s mouth was wide open and did not close for a long time.

The disciples of the Divine Fist Sect who were with him were equally dumbfounded.

Su Jingxing was slightly better off, but his mind was also racing as he tried to recall the faction that the young man and the golden figure belonged to.

According to the young man, their faction would double in strength if the Flying Lions joined them.

What did that mean?

This meant that the faction that the young man and the golden figure belonged to had many experts!

Of the 108 members of the Flying Lion army, 100 were in the fourth-grade, five in the third-grade, and three in the second-grade.

The faction that the two belonged to also had the same number of experts.

That was unimaginable.

At the very least, not a single faction in the Changyang Prefecture could match up to that.

Even the Changyang Prefecture Army didn’t have that many experts.

But the faction that these two people belonged to did!

On the other hand, the golden figure had leaked the sensational news that they were at odds with the Rising Dragon Saber King.

This meant that their faction had existed for over 400 years.

It had existed since the founding of the Yu Nation, and could even be traced back to the previous dynasty!

And then the young man once again unintentionally uttered the word “family clan’.

They had many experts among them, had a legacy lasting centuries, was a family of transcendent body or bloodline martial artists, and could transform into golden humans.

‘When these elements were combined, an illustrious, powerful, and ancient martial arts family that had existed for more than a thousand years popped up in his mind.

“The! Golden! Chen! Family!”

Su Jingxing said inwardly through gritted teeth, his eyes burning.

The Golden Chen Family, also known as the Golden Family Clan.

The Golden Bloodline, which had unparalleled combat ability and influence across the entire Yu Nation, and even the surrounding nations, was one of the five major martial arts families in Yu Nation.

Among the five major martial arts families, one of them was the imperial family—the Xia Family!

However, the Xia Family was ranked among the top five because of its imperial status.

The Chen Family was different.

The Chen Family had a legacy of more than a thousand years. The Golden Bloodline they possessed, once activated, would see their offensive power, defensive power, charging power, and destructive power increase by at least three-fold!

The minimum was three-fold and the maximum… no one knew.

‘As for how much one’s powers could surge, that would depend on the density of his bloodline.

Those with thin ones started from a three-fold boost.

Of course, if the density was so low that it couldn’t even be triggered, there would be no effect.

This could be seen from the color of the blood.

The higher the density, the more golden the blood was.

Golden blood had been a characteristic of the Chen Family since a thousand years ago, a name card.

The reason why Su Jingxing knew about the Chen Family was because he had searched for related bloodline martial artists online out of curiosity after discovering the secret of the Shi Family’s bloodline.

In the end, he found the Golden Chen Family!

This martial arts family was simply too famous, and many people shared information about them online.

Even though the Chen Family had deleted the posts afterward, the Internet never forgets.

Su Jingxing searched for clues and managed to find out more about the Chen Family. While feeling amazed, he committed everything to memory.

However, since he was in Qinghe City and the Chen Family was based in the capital, they would not come into contact.

That was why he never thought about the Chen Family.

‘When Su Jingxing first met the young man, the young man was being hunted down and transformed into a golden human in his counterattack. However, Su Jingxing did not associate him with the Chen Family.

‘The Chen Family wasn’t the only family whose members could transform into golden humans.

It was only at this moment that he realized when he put all the elements revealed in the conversation between the young man and the golden figure together.

“Given the Golden Chen Family’s foundation, they could indeed be placed on par with the Rising Dragon Saber King, Liu Chenglong, when he was alive!”

Su Jingxing, calmed down and thought to himself.

There were then many reasons for their bad relations.

It would be difficult for anyone outside the Chen Family to guess them.

“Huh? At… at odds?”

On the road, the young man wore a blank expression. “We are at odds with the Rising Dragon Saber King?”

“Why would I lie to you?”

The golden figure began coolly, “If Liu Chenglong had not died so early, he still would have died once the dynasty was stabilized. We will send him to his death!”

The young man was speechless.

He Lieren was speechless.

Han Shilong was speechless.

Di Donglei and the disciples of the Divine Fist Sect were speechless.

No one would suspect that the golden figure was lying or boasting.

Given the Golden Chen Family’s status and capabilities, lying and boasting were a slap to their faces.

“Understood.”

The young man sighed. “It was my fault. I acted rashly without figuring out the entire matter.”

“Glad to hear that,” said the golden figure coolly. “It’s been some time since you came out. You may return now.”

With that, he sprang into the sky.

A gust of wind enveloped the young man and lifted him into the air.

Swish!

Accompanying him was He Lieren’s kitchen knife spirit weapon.

From the beginning to the end, the golden figure appeared mysterious, domineering, powerful, and unfathomable.

But this final act of scooping up his spoils of war left everyone speechless.

Even though it was understandable, since no one would say no to a spirit weapon, but with this act, he had somewhat lost his air of a powerhouse.

Of course, Di Donglei and the others dared not reveal any of their thoughts.

The golden figure took the young man and disappeared into the horizon. The remaining people let out heartfelt sighs of relief.

Then, with a wave of his hand, Di Donglei ordered Cao Feng and the others to retrieve the Flying Lion Ring.

Swish!

At this moment, He Lieren’s body moved and turned into a dozen clones.

One of the clones quickly picked up the Flying Lion Ring.

Then—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

All the clones got up from the ground and dispersed. They ran to both sides of the road and disappeared into the darkness.

“Trying to run? Dream on! Everyone, give chase!”

Di Donglei ordered in a low voice.

“Yes.”

Cao Feng and the others obeyed, spreading out and chased after the clones into the darkness.

Before long—

“ant”

“No, no!”

Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!

Miserable cries, pleas for mercy, and the strange sound of blades slicing through flesh kept coming from the darkness.

‘When Di Donglei heard them, his expression turned ugly. He shouted, “Come back! Get back here!”

A starving camel is still bigger than a horse.

Even though He Lieren, a fourth-grade martial artist, had been wounded by a single palm strike from the golden figure, he wasn’t killed. As long as he wasn’t killed, he could easily finish off a few sixth-grade martial artists.

Di Donglei’s misjudgment had cost the lives of many experts in the sect. His heart was bleeding.

When the remaining three people returned, they couldn’t hold on any longer and fell to the ground, spurting out large mouthfuls of blood.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

On the quiet riverbank.

After escaping, He Lieren darted around like a phantom under the street lamps.

Until

“Come out!” demanded He Lieren, stopping abruptly.

“Found me?”

Su Jingxing emerged from the treetop and looked down at He Lieren with a smile. “I thought you were going to keep running. I also sincerely hoped you can keep running all the way.”

He Lieren remained silent, only his eyes flickered with icy killing intent.

“It’s you!”

“Oh, you recognize me?” asked Su Jingxing, raising his eyebrows. He chuckled. “Even better. We’re old friends now. As old friends, I have to pay you a visit. How about this? You lead the way, and I’ll follow behind.”

“You are courting death!”

He Lieren said coldly, “You tricked me with your spirit weapon last time. Do you really think you will still defeat me this time?”

“[never said that,” Su Jingxing said innocently, spreading his hands. “I already said that I was preparing to pay you a visit. Why would we start fighting for no reason?”

He Lieren was speechless.

He decided to remain silent and conserve his energy.

And Su Jingxing smiled but said nothing to that.

With his limbs and dantian crippled, Han Shilong would be a cripple for the rest of his life. Killing him or not didn’t matter anymore.

That was why Su Jingxing targeted He Lieren.

Not only did this fourth-grade expert from the He Family take away the Flying Lion Ring, he also had something to do with Feng Tiejian’s situation.

Su Jingxing had originally planned to follow He Lieren all the way to the He Family’s hiding place.

Unexpectedly, after following him for only about five minutes, He Lieren realized that he was being followed.

Seeing that, Su Jingxing stepped out.

In the situation that He Lieren had already realized he was being followed, he wouldn’t go to the He Family’s hiding place.

Rather than going around in circles, I may as well capture him and interrogate him slowly.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing unleashed 500 years of his true energy cultivation with a bang, producing a terrifying pressure.

With a loud thud, he pinned the cold-faced and murderous-looking He Lieren to the ground.

“How… how is this possible?!”

He Lieren’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Wh-who exactly are you?!”

Such terrifying pressure was simply unimaginable.

Had He Lieren not experienced it himself, he would never have expected someone to possess such profound true energy cultivation.

200 years? 300 years? Or 400 years?

He Lieren lay stiffly on the ground, unable to budge.

“You don’t need to know who I am.” Su Jingxing took to the air and floated to He Lieren’s side. He controlled his throwing daggers and slid it across He Lieren’s clenched fist, breaking his hand and exposing the Flying Lion Ring in his grasp. Then, he pulled from a distance and absorbed the Flying Lion

Ring into his hold before putting it in his palm space.

Having dealt with his target, Su Jingxing put away the throwing daggers and said calmly, “You, on the other hand. Should I address you as He Lieren or He Renlie?”

He Lieren shuddered!

The expression on his face changed drastically as disbelief filled his eyes.

“You… you…”

“How do I know?” said Su Jingxing with a smile. “It doesn’t really matter how I know. What matters is that I’m very curious about your He Family. For example, what was the motive behind “rearing” a person for five years? Was it to kill him? Or…”

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Su Jingxing flew backward at lightning speed.

Bang!

Aloud bang erupted almost at the same time Su Jingxing reeled backward.

The sound reverberated through the riverbank, and then countless pieces of flesh and blood sprayed through the air and splattered onto the ground.

He self-destructed.

He Lieren actually self-destructed!

Before I even touched the He Family’s true secret, He Lieren was already so unyielding and resolute that he chose to self-destruct.

A fourth-grade expert would rather die than reveal anything.

It seems like the He Family’s secrets are extremely deep!

Su Jingxing removed his true energy shield with a grave expression.

Now that He Lieren is dead, it will be difficult for me to get into contact with the He Family again.

If the He Family chooses to keep hiding in the dark, no one will be able to find them.

If the He Family refuses to show up, Feng Tiejian will have to continue hiding.

God knows how long this situation will last.

Su Jingxing felt a little frustrated.

After a while.

He took deep breaths to calm his mind.

Then, he opened his palm space and took out a card.

It was a card extracted from He Lieren!

Su Jingxing held it to read the description and sighed.

‘What he wanted the most was a Memory Card.

If it had been a Memory Card, He Lieren’s death wouldn’t have mattered much.

From He Lieren’s memories, he could still learn about the He Family’s secrets and their hiding place.

But the card he extracted turned out to be a Skill Card!
