After a while, he slowly walked out. The corner of his mouth curled up and a trace of calculation flashed in his eyes. Presumably, Li Chen would not have a good time after this.

Time flew by. Li Chen felt that it had only been a day or two, and it was almost the end of the Martial Competition. However, Ling Yun Yu had never come out to challenge anyone.

However, Li Chen had temporarily obtained the second place in the Genius Ranking. In the past few days, his points had been rising at an extremely fast rate, and he even had over a thousand points in a single match. The first place on the Genius Ranking could be considered as the stepping stone for Li Chen to clear the last stage.

Lingyun, who was about to come out of seclusion, didn't know that he had already become Li Chen's stepping stone, but he still took Li Chen as a stepping stone.

This was enough to show that the strong were all as arrogant and conceited as the strong.

Today, Li Chen beat up all the challengers just like before. In the end, no one dared to go up on stage. Li Chen could only leave the stage early and return to meditate to recuperate.

However, just as he was halfway there, he was stopped by someone who spoke as if he was very familiar with him.

"Li Chen, you actually didn't listen to the arrangements and challenged us without permission. The hall master wants to speak to you."

The black robed man in front of Li Chen was obviously from the Demonic Cultivator camp. He had a face full of respect for his subordinates and a cold, commanding tone.

Li Chen thought this was strange, so he ignored it and walked past. Unexpectedly, that person said loudly, "Li Chen, don't think you don't know what's good for you just because you have a higher cultivation. Without the Demon Lord, you are nothing."

This shout caused Li Chen to stop in his tracks. Similarly, those who were passing by also stopped in their tracks out of curiosity as they had the leisure to watch the fun.

"I don't remember knowing someone like you!" Li Chen's tone was filled with dissatisfaction, disdain, and impatience. He looked at the people who stopped him with disgust.

When Du Zhihong was looked at by Li Chen's fierce gaze, his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he was stunned by Li Chen's fierce ruthlessness. However, he was also a peak Martial King and immediately recovered. He had a dissatisfied look on his face as he said, "Truly, breaking bridge after crossing a river with some results. Do you really think you can escape the demonic lord? "Hehe, you really think too highly of yourself."

As Du Zhihong spoke, his eyes flashed, and the evil cultivators beside him all stepped forward, wanting to suppress Li Chen. Seeing this, Li Chen coldly said, "Are you planning to make a move in broad daylight? "He's quite bold. He's not afraid of being kicked out."

Du Zhihong did not care about what Li Chen said. He arrogantly said, "If we capture our own people, it will not break anyone's rules! Li Chen, stop denying your identity. If you have anything to say, go back and explain it to the pavilion master! "

The onlookers now understood that this was probably the work of an evil cultivator. However, wasn't Li Chen an itinerant cultivator? How did he become an evil cultivator? There were even people who had already investigated Li Chen's background and whispered to their friends:

"People say that Li Chen is an evil cultivator, but I don't know if that's true or not. I heard that he killed an evil cultivator named Zhang Yunchao!" "From the looks of it, it seems to be an internal conflict. Could this Li Chen really be an evil cultivator?"

When the person said this, he looked at Li Chen in confusion. The people around him were powerful martial artists with sharp ears. Even the strange part where Li Chen wore a mask was taken away by Li Chen with a gaze that didn't look too good.

Li Chen was not someone who just sat there and waited for death. Before the evil cultivators could even touch his body, he swung the Dragon Bone Rod in his hand sideways and knocked over the person who came before he could do anything.

Seeing this, Du Zhihong spat, "What a bunch of trash!"

Li Chen struggled for a long time, but was unable to break free. He looked at Du Zhihong with an ugly expression, "What are you guys doing? Are you trying to tie me up?! Heh, you really think a broken rope can tie me up! "

Without waiting for Du Zhihong to speak, he clenched his right fist and retracted it straight out. The rope that quickly wrapped around his right hand immediately retracted, causing Du Zhihong to stagger. If it wasn't for Du Zhihong having a bit of strength, the Demon Binding Rope would have been given to him by the Demon Lord himself from the void world, but it wasn't inferior to a Heavenly Soul Treasure.

Therefore, Li Chen only used his powerful physique to shake the rope a little, but he was already unable to break free or control it.

Li Chen saw that the rope was very strange. He released his Spiritual Energy and covered the rope that was wrapped around him. Once he executed the Manifestation Art, the corrosive force immediately followed. However, the rope remained undamaged.

On the side, Du Zhihong kindly advised, "Don't waste your energy. Obediently come back with us. You'll suffer less torture. This magic rope isn't just a sharp weapon used to trap people."

Li Chen was annoyed by Du Zhihong's threats. These people kept trying to get in contact with him, but every single word from them was equivalent to going back with them. They really thought he was easy to bully.

"Break ~"

As Li Chen yelled out, the Controlling Spirit Incantation appeared in his mind. It was just as Li Chen had thought: having a spirit artifact and becoming a Soul Treasure, its strength seemed to be quite high. Under Li Chen's control, it could only loosen the grip on his hand.

That speed was astonishingly fast.

Li Chen was careless and his body staggered from the impact. The mask on his face suddenly cracked and fell to the ground.

Everyone returned to their senses at this moment and saw Li Chen's left cheek. Wasn't that the demonic cultivator's signature black pattern? Moreover, after staring for a long time, they could feel that the black pattern was moving, which made it seem even more demonic.

Amongst the crowd, a surprised voice immediately rang out, "They are in the same group, this Li Chen is an evil cultivator!" Look at that face, it's filled with the unique lines of an evil cultivator. "

"I really didn't expect him to be an evil cultivator, and even talk about rogue cultivators. His mouth is full of lies!"

"That's right, that evil cultivator is getting bolder and bolder. He's trying to break into our inner circle!"

"That's right, tsk tsk, I thought rogue cultivators were really that powerful, but I didn't expect them to be opposing evil cultivators."

"They seem to be in internal strife. It's really their style to do it. We can do it after we've crossed the river."

Seeing that he had succeeded, Du Zhihong hid his excitement and said with an ugly expression, "Li Chen, no matter what explanation you have, you should tell the hall master yourself. Don't embarrass yourself any further."

Now, Li Chen finally understood that this was all about him. Forcing them to tie him up together, haha, it was really unimaginable for them. However, he, Li Chen, was not someone to be trifled with.

That's right, Du Zhihong and the others weren't able to recruit Li Chen, and they also found out that the black lines on the left side of Li Chen's face was the same as the ones on the evil cultivator. Although they were curious about Li Chen's left side, half of those who had seen Li Chen's left side felt that Li Chen had something to do with evil cultivators.

The so-called three of them becoming tigers would become true if they lied too much. Moreover, if a rogue cultivator failed, it would leave a bad seed in their wake. At the very least, they would not be able to sever their connection to evil cultivators.

If he couldn't win her over, then he would have to use some methods to win her over. If he didn't succeed, then Li Chen's reputation wouldn't be good.

However, they did not know that Li Chen's next words had completely broken their plans and even let them know of an important matter.

"Your hall master? What Hall Master? I alone was the one who destroyed your Devil Ancestor's land. I don't remember any of the people within it escaped the ruined virtual secret realm. "

Li Chen's words caused Du Zhihong to be stunned for a moment. What devil ancestor is this? "

After a while, Du Zhihong suddenly shouted, "You said you destroyed the Devil's Ancestral Land? So, did you also kill the elites of the Demon Abyss and Chiming Hall? "

Du Zhihong's last sentence was already filled with killing intent.

Under Du Zhihong's sudden shout, the surrounding onlookers changed their minds once again. At the same time, they looked at Li Chen with disbelief and shock.

At first, they thought that they were in the same group. However, they did not expect that with just one sentence from Li Chen, they had immediately cut off their relationship and revealed a shocking piece of news. Everyone looked at Li Chen inquiringly, but no one dared to look at the left side of Li Chen's face.

Du Zhihong and the others had originally planned to force Li Chen to tie themselves together with them, but they did not expect that Li Chen was the culprit behind the collapse of the Devil Ancestor's land.

Once the Devil Ancestor's land was destroyed, it was equivalent to cutting off all communication with the Demon Lord. Without the resources of the Demon Lord, there was no way for them to be on the same level as the Demon Lord, cutting off the path of cultivation.

Li Chen replied without hurry, "That's not because I did it. If you want my life, then I can only take care of you. However, you were lucky and were not present at that time, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to live a life today!"

That being said, but Li Chen's tone was not very good, "Hey, now that you guys are jumping in front of me, are you regretting not being able to go down to hell with your Demon Lord!? "Yes!"

After he finished speaking, when Li Chen released his might, Du Zhihong's legs trembled and he was about to kneel down. However, he still gritted his teeth and endured as he said ruthlessly, "Don't be complacent. You won't be able to escape this debt, hmm."

"Bang ~"

The moment Du Zhihong's last sentence fell, Li Chen's oppressive might struck him, causing him to kneel on the ground with a loud and clear sound.
