Lin Chen heard Tan Yu's words and frowned deeply. The other party mentioned the Eastern Domain and the Jade Cauldron Sect, clearly intending to use this to threaten him.
Because of this, Lin Chen's eyes instantly exuded a cold killing intent, even thinking of letting Little Profound Turtle take action to directly deal with the opponent.
However, at the moment, Tan Yu's strength was indeed too strong, and Lin Chen was temporarily unable to subdue him.
Tan Yu was quite clever, believing his strength was not inferior to Lin Chen's, so he did not summon other Tan family members, but came alone to entangle with Lin Chen.
Looking at Tan Yu, Lin Chen understood that after that bastard Lei Hao exposed his origin from the Eastern Domain and the Jade Cauldron Sect, he would face situations where others would use this to threaten him.
However, Lin Chen did not yield, as compromising this time would lead to even greater threats in the future.
If Lin Chen compromised this time, the opponent, knowing this leverage, would definitely look for more opportunities to threaten him on this basis every time.
Therefore, Lin Chen had no intention of giving the opponent any face.
Today's Eastern Domain and Jade Cauldron Sect are not soft persimmons to be easily squeezed, and even in the face of the Flying Crane Sect, Lin Chen is confident of conquering it.
Moreover, the Central State's forces closest to the Eastern Domain require a month's journey by land and water to reach the Eastern Domain.
So if the Central State's people really intend to deal with the Eastern Domain, Lin Chen has time to prepare in advance.
After all, Lin Chen's main body is in the Cloud Dragon Kingdom, and his Second Soul Division is in the Jade Cauldron Kingdom. Though on the front line, it is in communication with Lin Chen's Divine Soul, knowing everything about Lin Chen's main body.
Therefore, in the face of Tan Yu's threat, Lin Chen never believed that temporarily backing down would make Tan Yu let go of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
On the contrary, with this threat present, if Lin Chen compromises, he would certainly be coerced again in the future, so Lin Chen naturally wouldn't show Tan Yu any favor.
To solve the problem of the Eastern Domain's weakness, the fundamental solution lies in quickly enhancing the power of the various forces in the Eastern Domain rather than compromising with others. This is the best way to protect the Eastern Domain.
Therefore, Lin Chen must quickly establish a Teleportation Array between the ruins and the Eastern Domain, so that the strongest from all forces in the Eastern Domain can come here to cultivate and improve themselves.
"I've changed my mind now, you won't get a single piece of this Green Crystal Stone." Lin Chen looked at Tan Yu and said coldly. This guy not only threatened him but also wanted him to back down, not knowing the priority of matters. Lin Chen was not about to show him any kindness.
"Lin Chen, don't be ungrateful." Tan Yu was instantly infuriated when Lin Chen showed such ingratitude, unwilling to share the spoils and not wanting to give him the Green Crystal Stones.
Upon hearing Tan Yu's words, Lin Chen directly ignored him, no longer paying attention, and immediately took out some materials on the spot to start building a Formation.
Seeing Lin Chen no longer excavating the Spiritual Ore Mine but instead setting up a seemingly massive Formation on the spot, which expanded over thousands of miles and enveloped the entire vein of Green Crystal Stone, Tan Yu was instantly anxious. Lin Chen was clearly intending to place the Green Crystal Stone veins within the Formation, allowing him to mine at will within the Formation. After all, Tan Yu had seen Lin Chen's Illusionary Realm Formation before and knew Lin Chen's Formation skills were impressive.
If this happened, once Lin Chen completed the Formation, Tan Yu would not get a single piece of Green Crystal Stone.
Thinking of this, Tan Yu immediately panicked. He couldn't let Lin Chen complete the Formation, so he flew straight at Lin Chen, sword in hand, ready to disrupt him.
However, for Tan Yu's every move, Lin Chen was already prepared. At the moment Tan Yu charged toward him, ten Wind Shadow Clones suddenly appeared around him, all attacking Tan Yu.
Faced with Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones charging at him, Tan Yu was filled with fear, gnashing his teeth. The power of these Wind Shadow Clones was not strong, and with Tan Yu's strength, dealing with these ten Wind Shadow Clones was not difficult. But what really troubled Tan Yu was not these Wind Shadow Clones but the fiery red stones they carried.
Earlier, to deal with Lin Chen's explosive fiery red stones, Tan Yu had already used his second life-saving trump card.
The final life-saving trump card, he was reluctant to use now. Otherwise, in this ruin, he would be limited in his actions, unable to venture into many dangerous but potentially rewarding places.
Boom——
As Lin Chen's Wind Shadow Clones attacked Tan Yu, upon colliding with him, they exploded, causing Tan Yu to sustain consecutive injuries, and leaving a psychological shadow in his heart.
Seeing several more Wind Shadow Clones rushing at him, Tan Yu dared not resist any longer and had to use his movement technique to escape.
In reality, Lin Chen controlling so many Wind Shadow Clones consumed a huge amount of Spiritual Power. However, with the elixirs refined by Zhao Rushi, Lin Chen was not worried about his Spiritual Power. Whenever the consumption was enormous, Lin Chen would consume an elixir to recover, ensuring his condition.
Though the elixirs Lin Chen consumed were extremely precious, at the moment, Lin Chen couldn't afford to feel heartache.
Soon, Lin Chen completed the Formation, then made a hand seal and pointed a finger to activate the Formation before him.
Buzz——
As the Formation activated, an invisible barrier instantly arose, concealing the Green Crystal Stone veins in front of them.
As the Formation enveloped the Green Crystal Stone veins, the veins disappeared from the valley as if by magic. Whether one used Divine Soul to probe or viewed with the naked eye, none could detect their presence.
Having done all this, Lin Chen waved his hand to recall the remaining Wind Shadow Clones. After all, these Wind Shadow Clones were created by Lin Chen through extensive expenditure of Spiritual Power, and losing them all would significantly deplete his Spiritual Power.
Afterward, Lin Chen flickered and disappeared into the mountains.
