（Chapter 22）The Siege!

The two men's words were clearly meant to remind Xu Kun, but they were actually laced with mockery. It seemed that as long as Xu Kun continued to stand up for Lin Chen, it would bring disgrace to the Lihuo Sect.

However, when Xu Kun heard this, he only smiled faintly and said, "It can't be helped. He has already killed two people. I have to bring a genius back to report. Otherwise, the sect will think that this elder is incompetent!"

He didn't care about what the two men said. A mere eunuch and a city lord from the Great Cang Kingdom couldn't threaten the Lihuo Sect. Even if their king came in person, he might not dare to speak harshly in front of the Lihuo Sect!

As the strongest sect in the Five Kingdoms, the Lihuo Sect had this confidence and dared to say this.

When the two heard this, their expressions changed. Did this mean that he wouldn't give in no matter what?

"Elder Xu, don't be anxious. There are many talented young people in our Great Cang Kingdom. Hand over Lin Chen, and our royal family will look for another talented person for you to take back to the sect to handle matters. In urgent matters, please obey the authority. Please think about it, Elder Xu!"

The old eunuch grinned, took out a bag of spiritual jade from his arms, and walked up to hand it to Xu Kun.

Xu Kun took the spirit jade, weighed it, and his eyes lit up. "My father-in-law, what a generous offer!"

"That's natural. This has always been the case in our royal family, no matter how we behave or do things."

The old eunuch winked.

Xu Kun put the spirit jade away and said in a businesslike manner, "Since my father-in-law said so, it's okay for you to go find a genius. If he can defeat Lin Chen, I won't say anything and will hand Lin Chen over. You can do whatever you want with him!"

As soon as these words came out, the old eunuch's face turned green.

He held it in for a long time before he said, "Elder Xu, are you making fun of our royal family?"

Find other geniuses to defeat Lin Chen? What a joke!

Zhao Long and Su Cheng were already talented people with great strength. Of course, there were stronger geniuses, but they had long been accepted as inner disciples by other sects. Who would fight for the quota of outer disciples?

"That's wrong. After all, I am a member of the Lihuo Sect. I can't just bring some rubbish back with me. In that case, the sect won't be able to justify it."

Xu Kun's stern expression, coupled with his feminine voice, almost made the old eunuch vomit blood. After taking the money, he still wouldn't do anything?

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said loudly, "Thank you, senior, for speaking up!"

The purpose of his coming here this time was to show off his talent. While taking revenge, he also wanted the Lihuo Sect to accept him. The Lihuo Sect wouldn't miss out on a genius for no reason. Besides, they were only outer disciples. The sect didn't need to pay much to acquire geniuses. So why not?

"What nonsense are you talking to him about? He killed my son, and I will never let him leave alive today!"

Zhao Wuji's pupils were glowing scarlet and he had already lost his mind. His anger was rising inch by inch, like a volcano about to erupt!

"Roar!"

With a roar, Zhao Wuji's fantasy beast appeared between heaven and earth. It was a turtle-backed giant crocodile, level six. From the mouth of the turtle-backed giant crocodile, bursts of roars came out, shaking the world.

"Crack!"

The giant turtle-backed crocodile spread its four legs, causing the arena to collapse.

"Oh haha, are you so afraid of death when you carry a turtle shell on your back anytime and anywhere? Are you just shrinking in when you can't beat me, like a turtle with its head shrinking?"

When Tuntun saw this, he laughed loudly. He seemed to know that Xu Kun would protect Lin Chen. So, he was unscrupulous.

"Roar!"

The giant turtle-backed crocodile understood Tunton's words and was trembling with anger. With a roar, rich spiritual energy soared into the sky, tearing the void directly apart! The frightening fishy smell assaulted the nostrils.

"City Lord Zhao, I'm sorry for the death of your son. However, this is exactly what happens on the Life and Death Platform... Besides, you personally set up the rules. If you hadn't instigated it, your young master would not have died so early."

Lin Chen spoke calmly and word by word.

"Ahhh, little beast, I'll kill you!"

Zhao Wuji was so angry at these words that he almost lost his mind.

"Enough."

Xu Kun's voice was like thunder, shocking the entire audience. For a moment, Xu Kun was shocked by all the aura that Zhao Wuji exuded. His pupils contracted violently, and he was in a dilemma for a moment.

If he took action, he knew in his heart that he would never be Xu Kun's opponent. Don't do anything. After all, so many people were watching it with their own eyes. How embarrassing would it be if word spread?

"Lin Chen, on behalf of the Lihuo Sect, I welcome you to join!"

Xu Kun directly ignored the two of them, walked up to Lin Chen, and said calmly, "You will join the Lihuo Sect as the number one in the arena of Great Cang Kingdom and become an outer disciple of the sect. If you are willing, you can accept this talisman!"

In his hand, he was holding a flame talisman.

A flash of excitement flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, this was exactly what he wanted!

"Disciple is willing!"

Lin Chen stretched out his hand and held the flame sigil in his hand. The next moment, a hot feeling came from it, nourishing Lin Chen's whole body.

This flame sigil was carved out with painstaking efforts by the spirit pattern master, and it symbolizes the sign of the disciples of the Lihuo Sect. After every Lihuo Sect disciple receives the flame talisman, a faint line will appear between his eyebrows, used to distinguish identities.

Simply relying on this talisman, in the entire Five Kingdoms, as long as you are not too arrogant, basically no one dares to provoke you! After all, Lihuo Sect is too powerful and its status is there.

The old eunuch's eyes swept across the depths of the imperial city, his eyes a little impatient. 'Why, you haven't come yet? '

"Buzz!"

Soon, Lin Chen discovered that the flame sigil was integrated into his body. Immediately afterward, he felt itchy in the center of his eyebrows. A faint flame pattern actually formed. At this point, it also showed that Lin Chen joined the Lihuo Sect and became an outer disciple.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to the sect."

Xu Kun glanced at Tuntun on Lin Chen's shoulder, "Your fantasy beast... is quite special."

"Tsk, you still have some sense!"

Tuntun narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly. Regardless of whether the other person was complimenting him or not, he took it as such.

"Kill the prince of my royal family and actually want to leave?"

At this moment, a loud shout came from deep within the imperial city. Then, several figures flashed past like lightning, floating in the void. The leader was wearing golden armor, holding a sword, riding a giant eagle, and his eyes were sharp.

"Land war?"

Lin Chen frowned, he knew this person. Chief of Guards of the Imperial Guard, General of the Royal Palace, Land War! He possesses the combat power of the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, which is one level higher than Xu Kun. It seems that it represents the absolute combat power of the royal family!

Behind Lu Zhan, there are two lieutenants, both of whom are at the eighth level of the Earth Spirit Realm. Including the old eunuch and Zhao Wuji, there are four people at the eighth level of the Earth Spirit Realm and one person at the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm!

The five people formed a siege, surrounding Lin Chen and Xu Kun in the middle.
