288: Extorting Xiao Meng'er

When Yang Lingchen saw the two arrive, he couldn't help but frown. In his memories, Xiao Menger and Yang Chen were supposed to be a couple.

Yet now, Xiao Menger was actually walking together with Yang Chen's enemy.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen couldn't help but feel a sense of injustice for Yang Chen.

"Senior Sister Xiao, Senior Brother Zhen, I was just joking with Senior Brother Yang Chen!"

Seeing Xiao Menger and Zhen Tianyu arrive, Zhou Jiecheng's expression instantly became respectful.

Xiao Menger's eyes coldly swept over Zhou Jiecheng, and she said coldly, "Scram!"

"Yes...! Senior Sister Xiao." After saying this, Zhou Jiecheng hurriedly left the scene.

"Little Sister Menger." Yang Lingchen deliberately called out affectionately; he wanted to see how this woman would treat Yang Chen.

"Yang Chen, come with me. I have something to say to you." Xiao Menger's voice was cold and aloof, giving off a feeling of keeping people at a distance.

Yang Lingchen frowned because this cold tone from Xiao Menger was something that had never existed in Yang Chen's memories.

Yang Lingchen followed Xiao Menger to a pavilion not far from the Merit Hall.

Seeing the two arrive, the other Hantian Sect Disciples left the pavilion one after another.

"Little Sister Menger, what do you want to say?" A trace of imperceptible mockery flashed through Yang Lingchen's eyes; he wanted to see what this woman really wanted to say.

"Yang Chen, thank you for taking care of me all these years. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can send me a Sound Transmission at any time."

"As for our secret engagement, I hope you can treat it as if it never happened." Xiao Menger's tone was extremely cold, and there was no expression on her face.

"If you want to dump me, just say it directly. Why say so many high-sounding words?" A cold smile appeared on Yang Lingchen's face.

"Yang Chen, you...!" Xiao Menger frowned; she hadn't expected Yang Lingchen to expose the matter so directly.

"What about me? Did I wrong you? Or are you saying you don't want to leave me?" Yang Lingchen laughed.

"Yang Chen, we were never together. Watch your tongue, or don't blame me for being impolite." Xiao Menger scolded sharply.

"Ten thousand Divine Crystals. As long as you give me ten thousand Divine Crystals, our business will be settled once and for all. Otherwise, don't blame me for having a big mouth and spreading your scandals everywhere." Yang Lingchen said coldly.

"Ten thousand Divine Crystals? Why don't you just go rob someone?" Xiao Menger said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Xiao Menger's face flushed red with anger. She had never expected that the always suave and gentle Yang Chen would become so money-grubbing. This was ten thousand Divine Crystals! Even as a Core Disciple, it would take her over half a year to save that much.

"I am robbing you, so what? Do you have any idea how many Divine Crystals you've spent of mine over the years?"

"I only went to hunt the Earth Flame Demon Dragon because of you. Now that I'm injured and my cultivation level has regressed, you, on the other hand, couldn't care less about me and still want to dump me?"

"If I were to spread the word about your character, do you think your status as a pure and innocent goddess would still be secure?" Yang Lingchen said disdainfully.

"Six thousand. That's all I have." Xiao Menger gritted her teeth and said.

"Nine thousand Divine Crystals. Not a cent less." Yang Lingchen said.

"Seven thousand." Xiao Menger said coldly.

"Eight thousand. If you keep whining, don't blame me for ruining your reputation." Yang Lingchen said coldly.

"Fine, This Young Lady will give you eight thousand. From today on, I never want to see you, this piece of trash, again." Xiao Menger said angrily. Although eight thousand Divine Crystals was a lot, it was still within her means.

"Many thanks."

Yang Lingchen took the Divine Crystals and walked toward the Merit Hall without looking back.

Meanwhile, Xiao Menger sat quietly in the pavilion with a gloomy face.

"Junior Sister Menger, what's wrong?" At this moment, Zhen Tianyu walked over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Xiao Menger said in a flat tone.

"Do you want me to help you deal with him?" Zhen Tianyu asked.

"No need. This is a matter between him and me."

Although she was angry at Yang Chen, Xiao Menger didn't want to see anything happen to him; after all, they had grown up together.

...

After entering the Merit Hall, Yang Lingchen spent over a hundred thousand merit points to exchange for a large amount of Alchemy medicinal materials, then rode the Golden-Winged Snow Eagle back to Han Shao Peak.

After returning to Han Shao Peak, Yang Lingchen began to refine blood-restoring pills. At the same time, he took the time to enter the haotian jade space to check on his family.

Seeing that Yang Lingchen was safe and sound, the women completely relaxed and then one by one entered closed-door cultivation mode.

Now that they had arrived in the Divine Realm, the Spiritual Qi in the haotian jade space had surged once again. To make his cultivation speed faster, Yang Lingchen constantly channeled the Spiritual Qi from the haotian jade space into his body.

In no time at all, a furnace of blood-restoring pills was finished. Yang Lingchen quickly consumed a blood-restoring pill and began to refine it.

After a few hours of refining, the blood qi he had lost in his body was finally restored to normal.

At this moment, Yang Lingchen took out the demon core of the Earth Flame Demon Dragon and swallowed it in one gulp.

Immediately, an immensely vast and pure energy flooded all the meridians in Yang Lingchen's body.

The intense, swelling pain almost caused Yang Lingchen to pass out. He hurriedly sat cross-legged, then activated the Vast Heaven Art to begin refining this pure energy.

Through refinement after refinement, the pure energy in Yang Lingchen's body was soon converted into Divine Origin Power.

At this point, Yang Lingchen drove the massive Divine Origin Power within his body and frantically charged toward the True God Realm.

"Break through for me!" Yang Lingchen roared.

"Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom..."

"First layer of the True God Realm."

With a loud boom, Yang Lingchen's cultivation level finally broke through to the True God Realm.

Feeling the powerful strength within his body, Yang Lingchen felt a surge of heroic spirit.

When he was in the Half-step True God Realm, he felt that his strength was at most comparable to someone at the third layer of the True God Realm.

But when he broke through to the True God Realm, he immediately regained the confidence of being invincible within the same realm.

From this, one can see how vast the gap is between the Half-step True God Realm and the True God Realm.

"Yang Chen, get out here."

Just at this moment, Yang Lingchen heard a roar from outside his residence.

Yang Lingchen frowned, exited the haotian jade space, and walked out of the palace where he lived.

He saw Zhou Jiecheng bringing a group of underlings, who were cleaning up the environment around the palace.

"Zhou Jiecheng, what is the meaning of this?" Yang Lingchen's tone was extremely cold. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat the other party, he would have killed him long ago.

"The Sect Master has already announced Senior Brother Zhen Tianyu as the new Saint. From now on, this Han Shao Peak belongs to Senior Brother Zhen. This is the Saint appointment notice signed by the Sect Master, see for yourself!"

Zhou Jiecheng glanced coldly at Yang Lingchen and then threw an appointment notice in front of him.

Yang Lingchen took the Saint appointment letter. It read: "Effective immediately, Zhen Tianyu is appointed as the new Saint of Hantian Sect, and Yang Chen is demoted to an Outer Sect Disciple."
