Lin Zichen didn't get any benefits here, so he left in embarrassment. As for the two beauties, he didn't even touch them, so he didn't want them. Lin Batian naturally wouldn't pamper them anymore. He summoned his men and sent the two beauties out of the palace. Lin Batian didn't care if they were dead or alive.
"This palace is really cruel." Long Chen couldn't help but sigh after witnessing this scene.
After walking into Lin Batian's Qian Wen Palace, Lin Batian treated Long Chen with great hospitality and even gave Long Chen two beautiful maidservants. After Long Chen declined, he returned to the residence that Lin Batian had arranged for him and started to think about what he should do next.
"Chen, we've already entered the palace and met Lin Zichen. What should we do next? Run to the other side and kill him."
Ling Xi sat on the edge of the table, propping up her chin with her hand as she stared at Long Chen. Her large eyes were sparkling with a crystalline light.
"We can't kill Lin Zichen in the palace no matter what. Let's not talk about the Sword Emperor. With Lin Zichen's strength, I can't say for sure that I can defeat him." Long Chen frowned and said.
"Then what should we do?" Lingxi rolled her eyes.
"We have to think of a way to lure Lin Zichen out of Bi Yang Imperial City. Moreover, we have to lure him far away. Otherwise, it'll be like last time in Ni Yang City. We had to escape for a long time just to kill Sword Demon."
"Little Xi, please help us think of a way."
It could be seen that Lingxi liked to use her brain from the fact that she liked to break the prohibition. At that moment, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Chen, do you still remember what you heard on the street during the day? The demonic beasts attacking the city."
As soon as Lingxi said this, Long Chen immediately laughed because he had already thought of a solution after receiving a little hint from Lingxi.
"Little Xi, you're really smart. That's a good idea, but it'll depend on the Sword Emperor. Let me think, what should I do …" Long Chen poked Lingxi's head with his finger as he spoke in praise.
"First, let me think. I should create chaos and kill someone," Long Chen said.
"Why?" Lingxi asked.
"Think about it. Lin Zichen's strength is much stronger than Lin Batian. However, from what happened during the day, the Sword Emperor probably did not allow Lin Zichen to kill Lin Batian. This shows that the Sword Emperor still cares about his eldest son. Moreover, after I killed the Ninth Prince, he actually sent so many people to kill me. It shows that he values his son very much. He probably does not want his son to have too much conflict. However, the fight for the throne must be carried out. The more intense the fight between Lin Batian and Lin Zichen, the more impatient he will be. Currently, there is a big matter in the north of Cangyang Kingdom that needs to be dealt with."
"Brother Chen, are you saying that if the two of them were to fight in the palace, the Sword Emperor would very likely send one of them to Jiang City?"
"Yes."
Long Chen nodded and continued, "If Lin Batian goes and Lin Zichen is forced to stay in the palace, then the leader of the Demonic Beasts will not be able to be killed. Therefore, the Sword Emperor will very likely send Lin Zichen there. If the Demonic Beasts do not have a leader, it will be easy for them to be defeated. At that time, it will be much easier to deal with them. As long as the Sword Emperor sends Lin Zichen there, our goal will be achieved.
Although this plan is complicated, it might really work. Moreover, what Long Chen needs to do is to provoke the hatred between the two of them. This is not difficult.
"Chen, who did you say you want to kill just now?"
"You will know when you see it."
Long Chen smiled mysteriously. He asked Lingxi to return to Lingxi's sword and started to act. The palace was the Sword Emperor's territory. Long Chen did not dare to stay here for long. Moreover, the conflict between Lin Zichen and Lin Batian gave him an opportunity to act immediately.
In the Qianwen Palace, Lin Batian's residence was relatively close to the First Commander's residence. Long Chen relied on the Spirit Devouring Demon Eyes and easily found the First Commander's residence.
"Chen, the person you want to kill is him." Lingxi did not expect this.
"Yes. Today, Lin Zichen planned to teach Lin Batian a lesson. Lin Batian almost fell for it, but the First Commander woke him up. Lin Zichen failed to injure Lin Batian, so it is normal for him to kill the First Commander out of hatred. Moreover, there is another important point. The destructive power of the Emperor's Sword Qi is not much weaker than the Demon Emperor's Sword Qi …"
"Little Xi, don't feel any pressure. Honestly speaking, they're all our enemies. Even if it's the first commander, if he discovers my identity, he won't let me off. I once killed six great commanders. Today, I'll send them off to reunite. Without killing, how can I take revenge? That sword attack of Lin Zichen's is still deeply engraved in my mind."
Long Chen saw that Lingxi did not have the heart to kill this stranger, so he explained softly. Then, about 50 meters away from the First Commander's room, Long Chen had already completed his dragon soul transformation. It was already nighttime, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. There were basically no stars to speak of, so it was a little hard to see the fingers of one's hand.
If he wanted to kill the First Commander, the Great Demon Seed Technique of Dao was no longer needed. With the Spirit Devouring Demon Eyes, Long Chen could see that the First Commander was currently cultivating. Long Chen took a deep breath, and the Demon Emperor Sword appeared in his hand.
"Die."
With a soft word, Long Chen instantly turned into a black shadow and entered the room through the window. In an instant, the Demon Emperor Sword in his hand exploded with Demon Emperor's Sword Qi, and he appeared in front of the First Commander in an instant.
"Who?"
The First Commander let out a cry of surprise. In the midst of his cultivation, he suddenly pushed out his palm, attacking Long Chen's Demon Emperor Sword Qi.
In this critical moment, this was the only thing he could do. Unfortunately, he underestimated the power of Long Chen's Demon Emperor Sword Qi. That Demon Emperor Sword Qi directly shattered his arm, and then landed on his body, instantly chopping off his head.
Then, the rest of the energy dissipated, causing the entire room to collapse.
A rumbling sound rang out, and then smoke and dust filled the sky.
"It's done."
With just a single move, Long Chen killed the First Commander. He did not hesitate at all. The first thing he did was to rush out of the scene, and then he estimated how much time it would take to get from his original residence to here. In this time, when Long Chen arrived at the scene, the First Prince, Lin Batian, who was nearby, had already arrived, and his face was in ruins.
The rest of the people in Qianwen Palace also arrived one after another.
"How could this be?"
The First Prince's face paled. Now that the entire room had collapsed, where did the First Commander go? The First Commander was not only the most capable subordinate under him, but also his uncle. Naturally, Lin Batian was concerned about his safety.
"Quick, quick, turn this place over and see if the First Commander is inside."
Lin Batian already had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately ordered the other guards. At this time, he saw Long Chen, and hurriedly called for Long Chen.
"Your Highness, what's going on?" Long Chen looked at the ruins, and asked with a face full of doubt.
"I don't know, but I can't sense the First Commander's aura in here. Could it be that he was fighting with someone just now, and now he's chasing after them? That's not possible, it's impossible that there was only one sound." At this time, the First Prince's mind was a mess.
"How is that possible? This is the palace, why would someone come to assassinate him?" Long Chen pretended to be surprised as he asked.
"I don't know either. Otherwise, where would the First Commander go? It can't be down here, right?"
Lin Batian said. However, just as he said the last sentence, one of the guards who was inspecting the ruins suddenly let out a scream. Then, everyone followed his gaze and saw that there was a bloody head on the ground.
At this time, the lower half of the head was already dyed red with blood. The only thing that could be seen was that his eyes were wide open, as if he was in complete disbelief before he died.
He died suddenly, and he didn't even see who his opponent was. It wasn't strange for him to have such an expression after death.
According to Long Chen's estimation, when Lin Batian saw the head, he was completely stunned. Then, he let out an angry roar, and his eyes quickly became bloodshot.
This head belonged to the First Commander.
"Who was it? Who killed my uncle? Who was it?"
Lin Batian looked as if he had gone insane. His vicious gaze swept across every single person present, before finally stopping at Long Chen.
"I heard an explosion just now, and when I rushed here, he was already dead. This means that the person who killed him was at least ten times stronger than him. Who in the Cangyang Kingdom has such strength?" Long Chen was calm, and quickly analyzed the situation for Lin Batian.
Lin Batian's eyes widened, and he shouted in a low voice, "Lin Zichen, you've really gone too far."
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, Lin Zichen, seems to be looking down on you just because he's at the ninth level of the Heavenly River Tier. Moreover, the First Commander shouldn't have offended him." Long Chen frowned.
"Lin Zichen is a ruthless person, and he's a vengeful person. Today, he planned to teach me a lesson, but because of my uncle's warning, all his efforts were in vain. Since he couldn't kill me, he killed my uncle to vent his anger. This is really too much. I, Lin Batian, am not someone who can be easily bullied. Brother Yang, do you dare to follow me to the Star Palace?"
At this moment, Lin Batian's eyes were almost blinded by hatred. Moreover, Long Chen's acting was very good. Even if he cracked his head, he would never have thought that the murderer was Long Chen.
"I dare. I've long heard of Lin Zichen's name. Today, I'm going to meet him." Long Chen said calmly.
