Chapter 0325: Lan Chen

Ji Xuanyi stared in shock at the massive crater!

His grandson, Ji Kailin, had been obliterated by Qin Yun's punch, leaving no trace behind.

All eyes turned to Ji Xuanyi as they gradually sensed the terrifying aura of the Martial Dao realm!

"Qin Yun used demonic cultivation to kill Ji Kailin!"

"He truly practices demonic cultivation, how terrifying!"

"He practices demonic cultivation; no one can protect him now. Anyone who tries is siding with evil!"

Zhuochuan, Lan Huayu, and Lan Fengjin rushed forward, only to be halted by several elders from the Holy Palace.

"If you attempt to aid Qin Yun, we will stop you at all costs!"

Xie Wufeng also swiftly leaped forward, but was intercepted by Xiao Yanglong!

"Xie Wufeng, are you attempting to prevent Elder Ji from slaying the demon?" Xiao Yanglong said coldly, "I will prevent you from passing!"

"Step aside. For Qin Yun, I am ready to lay down my life! Are you prepared to stake yours to stop me?" Xie Wufeng said expressionlessly.

Xie Wufeng was also a Martial Dao realm cultivator, and a sword practitioner at that. Everyone knew how fearsome his strength was.

Xiao Yanglong hesitated, clearly aware that Xie Wufeng was a formidable opponent!

The head of the West Palace suddenly flew over, sneering, "Xie Wufeng, what now? Even if you give your life, you cannot save Qin Yun! Face the truth: this is the Blue Spirit Star Palace. Qin Yun has no escape!"

Several Martial Dao realm elders from the Blue Spirit Star Palace had already moved to block anyone attempting to save Qin Yun.

Yang Shiyue stood at a distance, with the head of the East Palace beside her, seemingly preventing her from intervening.

"Qin Yun, you practice demonic cultivation and must face judgment!" Ji Xuanyi roared with furious laughter, "You will join A'Lin in the grave!"

Yang Shiyue clenched her jade fist, and the heavens and earth quaked!

The sky darkened with dense clouds, then lit up with a purple-golden flash!

Everyone looked up to see a purple-golden moon suspended beneath the dark clouds!

It was the Moon Martial Soul—the Purple-Golden Moon Martial Soul!

All eyes turned to Yang Shiyue, who stood coldly, shouting at Ji Xuanyi, "Step back, or I will use my Moon Martial Soul to send you to your grave!"

The terrifying energy emanating from the floating purple-golden moon made the entire Blue Spirit Star Palace tremble!

This was the power of a Heaven-bestowed Martial Soul!

Everyone knew Yang Shiyue had the Moon Martial Soul, but they only knew it was at the Platinum level.

Now, it had transformed into purple-gold, signifying that the Martial Soul had evolved!

Only Qin Yun knew that Yang Shiyue's Moon Martial Soul had evolved after absorbing the power of the Flying Soul Stone.

"Yang Shiyue, Qin Yun used demonic cultivation, didn't you see? Sheltering evil will also bring punishment upon you!" Ji Xuanyi shouted in rage.

Yang Shiyue said coldly, "Shame on you, Martial Dao realm cultivators of the Blue Spirit Star Palace! Are you blind? Qin Yun just unleashed his second Martial Soul, the Tremor Martial Soul!"

In the quiet ruins, Yang Shiyue's cold voice echoed, leaving everyone dumbfounded!

Qin Yun's Thunder Fire Martial Soul was already fearsome! But he actually possessed a second Martial Soul—the Tremor Martial Soul!

He had a dual Martial Soul!

And both were incredibly powerful Martial Souls!

Lan Huayu, Zhuochuan, and Lan Fengjin, all Martial Dao realm warriors, looked at Qin Yun in disbelief!

At that moment, everyone remembered the power Qin Yun had just used, which was indeed filled with tremoring force!

"This... this is absolutely impossible!"

Ji Xuanyi was already half-convinced, making him even more determined to kill Qin Yun. However, above his head loomed Yang Shiyue's Purple Gold Moon Martial Soul.

If he made a move, the Moon Martial Soul would come crashing down, ending his life as well!

"Qin Yun... actually has a dual Martial Soul! Does that mean he cultivates dual inner cores?"

"No wonder his strength is always so unfathomable. He is a dual Martial Soul warrior, a rarity indeed!"

"Yang Shiyue must have known this all along, which is why she holds him in such high regard!"

"The Tremor Martial Soul—that's a legendary Martial Soul!"

A dual Martial Soul is already unbelievable! Moreover, both Martial Souls are incredibly powerful, making it truly enviable.

Ji Xuanyi shouted, "His entire body is filled with black inner energy—that's not the Tremor Martial Soul! Only those who cultivate demonic arts have such energy! Yang Shiyue, don't try to deceive me!"

Qin Yun let out a cold snort, his body trembling as black energy overflowed, causing the ground to tremble violently. He held the Giant Spirit King Hammer in one hand and a Binding Talisman in the other, coldly saying, "So, you want to kill me, is that it?"

"Qin Yun, you used demonic arts to kill my grandson. I will definitely slay you!" Ji Xuanyi, recalling Ji Kailin's death, was consumed by rage. He looked up at the Purple Gold Moon in the sky, gathering the powerful energy of his Dao Core.

The world was instantly filled with wind and clouds, the ground shook, and thunder roared in the sky!

The Purple Gold Moon radiated a cold, eerie light, filling the Blue Spirit Star Palace with an aura of killing intent!

"Everyone, halt!"

Suddenly, a cold, commanding voice rang out!

The dense clouds and lightning in the sky immediately dispersed, and the shaking ground calmed down.

Yang Shiyue's Purple Gold Moon gradually shrank. As the oppressive force approached, she had no choice but to withdraw her Moon Martial Soul.

The Blue Spirit Star Palace instantly became calm!

The thick clouds in the sky dissipated, and the light of nine blazing suns shone upon the ruins!

After a moment of calm, a terrifying oppressive force suddenly enveloped the area!

The warriors floating in the air all descended to the ground!

Those on the ground who were not at the Martial Dao realm were pressed down, unable to stand straight, and could only kneel on one knee!

"Welcome, Great Palace Master!" Several Martial Dao realm warriors from the sacred palace quickly bowed, looking at a blue-robed middle-aged man slowly descending.

Following this, Lan Huayu, the heads of the four palaces, and Ji Xuanyi all immediately bowed, paying their respects to the blue-robed middle-aged man.

The great palace master of the Blue Spirit Star Palace, who also leads the Star Palace, is actually a middle-aged man!

Qin Yun had heard from Lan Fengjin that this great palace master is named Lan Chen!

Lan Chen appears to be a middle-aged man, but he has lived for many years.

He looks like an ordinary bald middle-aged man, but his terrifying aura forces many warriors at the ninth level of the Martial Body stage to kneel on one knee.

Although Qin Yun is at the ninth level of the Martial Body stage, he can still stand under that oppressive aura.

At this moment, he is also carefully observing Lan Chen.

What shocks him is that Lan Chen's bald head bears patterns—tattoo markings!

"The Spirit Martial Hall has stood for a thousand years. How could it be destroyed?" Lan Chen looked at Ji Xuanyi, his voice carrying a hint of authority as he questioned.

"Great Palace Master, please make the decision! This guy, during a duel with my grandson Ji Kailin, used demonic arts to kill him because he was outmatched!" Ji Xuanyi said with grief and anger.

Lan Chen turned to Qin Yun and asked loudly, "Did you use demonic arts?"

"Not at all!" Qin Yun quickly replied. "He simply lacks the knowledge and mistakenly thought I used demonic arts!"

Lan Chen immediately noticed the Heavenly Lion tattoo pattern on Qin Yun's left arm and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, he looked at Xie Wufeng and said, "Wufeng, is this the brother you mentioned to me? Tell me what happened!"

Rumors had circulated that Lan Chen intended to take Xie Wufeng as his closed-door disciple!

Now, it seems that it is mostly true!

Xiao Yanglong felt secretly jealous because Xie Wufeng had gained Lan Chen's favor, something many Star Palace's disciples dreamed of.

Xie Wufeng stepped forward and explained the entire situation to Lan Chen.

"Great Palace Master, Qin Yun used black inner energy, not some so-called vibrating martial spirit!" Ji Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and shouted.

After hearing Xie Wufeng's account, Lan Chen's expression darkened gradually.

Especially when he heard about Xiao Yuelan's inner energy deviation, the oppressive aura intensified, making all martial realm warriors feel immense fear.

Lan Chen looked at Ji Xuanyi and scolded angrily, "You would stop at nothing to obtain the tattoo patterns!"

"It seems that we, the Blue Spirit Star Palace, deserve to be like homeless dogs, fleeing to such a place!"

"Great Palace Master, I admit my mistake and am willing to take full responsibility! But Qin Yun used demonic arts and must not be spared. My death is insignificant, but we cannot allow such a demon to harm the world!" Ji Xuanyi spoke passionately, his words filled with righteousness.

At this moment, the head of the Western Palace also stepped forward: "Although Qin Yun joined the Western Palace, I implore the Great Palace Master to execute him on the spot and eliminate this demon!"

Protector Zhang and several elders from the Star Palace also stepped forward, pleading with Lan Chen to kill Qin Yun.

Lan Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and seemed to be holding back his anger. He said, "Ji Xuanyi, bring out your Calming Mystic Pill!"

Ji Xuanyi hesitated briefly but eventually took it out and handed it to Lan Chen.

After receiving it, Lan Chen said, "I will now investigate Qin Yun's condition. If he truly practices demonic arts, he will not be spared!"

Ji Xuanyi felt a surge of joy and glanced at Qin Yun with satisfaction.

Yang Shiyue remained calm, seemingly not worried at all.

Xie Wufeng and the others kept quiet, impressed by her calm composure.

The others stood up one by one, holding their breath as they watched Lan Chen walk toward Qin Yun.

Lan Chen stepped up to Qin Yun and asked, "Qin Yun, can I check your Shock Inner Element?"

Qin Yun had doubted Lan Fengjin earlier because she’d called Lan Chen a decent, friendly guy. But now, seeing him up close, he realized she was right.

"My Shock Inner Element and inner core are in my heart!" Qin Yun nodded and replied.

Everyone was stunned—how could the inner core be in the heart? Even Yang Shiyue didn’t know about this!

"No wonder Xiao Yanglong tried to jab Brother Yun’s heart and almost snapped his finger. That explains it!" Murong Daren chuckled.

Xiao Yanglong’s finger was still sore, and he muttered a few curses.

Lan Chen, looking surprised, pressed two fingers to Qin Yun’s pounding chest. As soon as he touched Qin Yun’s heart… his expression shifted slightly—he’d sensed the dragon and tiger totem inside!

"Qin Yun’s definitely practiced demonic arts, great palace master! Execute him now!" Ji Xuanyi cried out gleefully, noticing the change in Lan Chen’s expression.
