310: Subdue the Shadow

Time passed in the blink of an eye; another month had gone by.

During this month, Yang Lingchen had been by his wives' sides, enjoying warmth and tranquility.

Yang Lingchen attentively guided their Cultivation, giving them the most intimate care and support.

With Yang Lingchen's help, the cultivation level of his women saw a qualitative leap; they constantly made Breakthroughs on the path of Cultivation, and their strength increased day by day.

Yang Lingchen himself did not slack off either; after unremitting effort, his cultivation level also successfully reached the Seventh Level of the Phantom God Realm.

This Breakthrough raised his strength to a new level and filled him with confidence for the future.

On this day, Yang Lingchen sent out his Clone, while his main body remained in the haotian jade space to continue his Cultivation.

Yang Lingchen knew deeply that only by constantly improving himself could he gain a firm foothold in this Divine Realm full of crises and challenges.

After Yang Lingchen's Combat Divided Soul left the haotian jade space, it began patrolling the Lingchen Divine Kingdom.

Since Yang Lingchen's Clone did not need to Cultivate, he had plenty of time to manage the various affairs of the Lingchen Divine Kingdom.

Inside the Yuelai Teahouse in the Imperial City of the Lingchen Divine Kingdom.

Yang Lingchen's Clone was drinking tea with Yang Suxue. The surrounding environment was elegant and tranquil, with curling tea fragrance that made one feel relaxed and happy.

"Chener, I never expected that you actually came from the Lower Realm."

After these few months of spending time together, Yang Suxue had a deeper understanding of Yang Lingchen's past and knew about his origins; she had even met Yang Lingchen's women and children.

She was filled with wonder at the fact that Yang Lingchen had been able to fight his way from the Lower Realm all the way to the Divine Realm.

"I was just lucky; otherwise, I wouldn't have reached the Divine Realm so quickly," Yang Lingchen said with a smile as he picked up his teacup and took a gentle sip.

"Luck is also a part of strength," Yang Suxue responded with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration for Yang Lingchen. "Your talent and hard work are the keys to how you have reached where you are today."

"By the way, you had better be careful during this time. I received news that many Realm Kings from the Lower Realm have gone to Tianlin City to complain about you. I suspect that Lin Hailong will definitely make a move against you." Yang Suxue's expression turned serious, a trace of worry revealing itself in her eyes.

"Is the Realm King of the Tianlin Realm useless? Why is this Lin Hailong meddling in everything?" Yang Lingchen frowned. He did not understand why an Elder could be so lawless and in control of so many affairs.

"The Realm King of the Tianlin Realm is the most beloved daughter of the Heavenly God Realm Master. Her whereabouts are erratic, so the various affairs of the Tianlin Realm are generally handled by Lin Hailong." Yang Suxue sighed softly and explained patiently.

"Revered Master, what is the cultivation level of that old bastard Lin Hailong?"

Yang Lingchen's gaze was firm. He had already made up his mind; once his cultivation level improved, he would go directly to Tianlin City to resolve this trouble, to avoid the other party playing dirty tricks behind his back all day long.

"Lin Hailong's cultivation level is at the Ninth Level of the Heavenly God Realm. This person is sinister and cunning by nature, with no principles in how he does things. He is someone who will do anything to achieve his goals."

Yang Suxue's tone was heavy; she knew well the danger and difficulty of dealing with Lin Hailong.

"Does this old bastard have any weaknesses?" Yang Lingchen continued to ask, trying to find a flaw in Lin Hailong so he could gain an advantage in their future confrontation.

"Lin Hailong's only weakness is his grandson, Lin Haonan. He is his only descendant, but Lin Hailong attaches great importance to this grandson's safety, so it is not that easy to deal with Lin Haonan." Yang Suxue frowned, thinking carefully.

"Let's ignore him for now. As long as this old bastard doesn't take the initiative to provoke me, it's fine. If he doesn't know what's good for him, once my cultivation level goes up, I'll just wipe him out."

A cold glint flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. His tone was resolute, filled with confidence and determination.

After chatting with Yang Suxue for a while longer, Yang Lingchen left the Yuelai Teahouse.

His mood was somewhat heavy, but more than that, it was determined.

Yang Lingchen knew that in this Divine Realm full of crises, only by constantly making himself stronger could he protect those around him and guard his own territory.

Just as he had walked not far from the teahouse, a handsome man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat walked over from a distance.

A powerful pressure radiated from this handsome man, giving people an extremely dangerous sense of oppression.

The surrounding pedestrians avoided him one after another, as if they felt an invisible fear.

And this handsome man wearing a bamboo hat was none other than Shadow, a Subordinate of the Grand Elder of Tianlin City.

As Lin Hailong's number one assassin, Shadow had always been known for being mysterious and efficient.

His missions had never failed, so he also had quite a reputation in the Divine Realm.

Shadow's style had always been to hide in the shadows and assassinate, but this time Lin Hailong had ordered him to capture a live target, and the target was just a young man at the Phantom God Realm, so he hadn't taken it too seriously.

After all, his cultivation level had already reached the Fifth Level of the Heavenly God Realm; even if he were asked to assassinate a powerhouse at the Sixth Level of the Heavenly God Realm, he would have full confidence.

Now, Lin Hailong sending him to capture someone at the Phantom God Realm could be considered using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

"Yang Lingchen, come with me!"

Shadow's voice was hoarse, carrying a trace of an extremely cold aura. His voice seemed to come from Hell, making one's hair stand on end.

"Pfft...!"

Yang Lingchen laughed with a pfft, his face full of disdain, and said: "What kind of thing are you? There's no one who acts as pretentiously as you do. Dressed like a bird, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?"

His words were full of provocation; he did not put Shadow in his eyes at all.

"Brat, you are courting death."

A cold glint flashed in Shadow's eyes, and a wave of anger surged in his heart.

He saw his figure flash, his right hand turning into a claw, and he instantly grabbed toward Yang Lingchen. The speed was so fast it was like lightning streaking across the night sky.

For so many years, this was the first time someone had dared to ridicule his attire, which made Shadow feel incomparably furious. He decided to teach this ignorant brat a painful lesson.

Yang Lingchen's eyes revealed a cold smile. He saw his right hand instantly unleash a Domain Breaking Fist. The fierce Fist Aura carried an aura of annihilating everything and directly bombarded Shadow's right claw.

Although the current Yang Lingchen was a Clone with a cultivation level of only the Sixth Level of the Phantom God Realm, his Combat Power was enough to crush an average powerhouse at the Fifth Level of the Heavenly God Realm.

"Boom... Boom...!"

With a heaven-shaking loud noise, the air seemed to be torn apart.

Shadow let out a muffled grunt, and then his whole body flew backward.

His face was full of shock and disbelief; he had never expected that he would actually suffer a loss at the hands of a young man at the Phantom God Realm.

At this moment, a look of horror appeared in Shadow's eyes. He really didn't expect that someone at the Sixth Level of the Phantom God Realm could actually blast him away with one punch.

This completely exceeded his expectations and also shattered his long-standing self-confidence.

Yang Lingchen succeeded in one blow, his figure turning into an afterimage, fast as a ghost, as he charged directly toward Shadow.

His right hand turned from a fist into a claw, aiming directly at Shadow's neck. His actions were decisive and ruthless, not giving Shadow any chance to catch his breath.

Facing the oncoming Yang Lingchen, the retreating Shadow slashed out with his battle saber. The blade aura carried a trace of cold light and swept toward Yang Lingchen. The blade light flickered, as if it wanted to cut everything in two.

Yang Lingchen's figure flashed and disappeared, as agile as a ghost, successfully avoiding Shadow's fierce strike. When he reappeared, his figure had already appeared in front of Shadow.

"Slap!"

Yang Lingchen slammed a palm onto Shadow's wrist, and a powerful force exploded instantly.

It directly blasted Shadow's battle saber away, and then his right hand was like lightning, instantly clamping onto Shadow's neck. His actions were done in one go, without the slightest hesitation.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Yang Lingchen's voice was like the arrival of the Grim Reaper, extremely cold, and hearing it made one's hair stand on end. His eyes were full of killing intent, as if he would take Shadow's life immediately if he gave the wrong answer.

"If you want to kill, then kill. If I, Shadow, furrow my brows even once, consider it my loss."

Shadow said coldly. Although he was at a disadvantage at this moment, he was still stubborn and refused to submit easily.

Just at this moment, He Bi arrived with the City Guard and said respectfully: "Revered Master."

"You came at the right time. Find a few burly men and serve him well until he is willing to submit."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he instantly struck several strands of Divine Origin Power into Shadow's body, directly sealing Shadow's cultivation level. His face carried a trace of a cold smile, as if he had already seen the scene of Shadow submitting.

"Revered Master, rest assured, this Subordinate will definitely serve him comfortably." He Bi had an evil smile on his face and hugged Shadow directly.

His expression made one's hair stand on end; it seemed he couldn't wait to start "serving" Shadow.

"Alright, take him down!"

Yang Lingchen also didn't expect that He Bi actually had this kind of hobby. He shook his head helplessly, secretly amused in his heart.

"Yes, Revered Master!" He Bi said, and couldn't wait to drag Shadow toward his own Residence.

"Let go, I submit, I submit."

Shadow shouted in a hurry. At this moment, he was completely panicked. He was a person with mysophobia to begin with, and now being constantly molested by a big man, he wanted to die. That kind of fear and disgust made him give up resistance instantly.

"Don't you feel reluctant?"

Yang Lingchen sneered and said, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Not reluctant, not reluctant."

Shadow said quickly, his voice full of urgency and fear, for fear that Yang Lingchen would not believe him.

"Eat this! And open up your Divine Sense."

Yang Lingchen handed over a soul devouring pill directly, and then planted a Slave Seal in the depths of Shadow's Soul. His actions were decisive and firm, not giving Shadow any chance to resist.

"Revered Master."

At this time, Shadow became incomparably respectful. He knew that from this moment on, his fate was completely in Yang Lingchen's hands.

"Who sent you?" Yang Lingchen asked.

"Lin Hailong." Shadow answered respectfully. At this moment, there was no longer the arrogance and disdain from before in his eyes, only awe and obedience.

"Lin Hailong, this old bastard really is endless!"

A thick killing intent flashed in Yang Lingchen's eyes. At this moment, he completely put Lin Hailong on his must-kill blacklist.

He secretly vowed that he would definitely make Lin Hailong pay a heavy price for what he had done.
