Chapter 2560: Chapter 2561: Learning the News

"Do you have anything else to say to me?"

At this moment, Nangong Xue felt somewhat conflicted, for she had been hesitating over one question: Had Lin Chen ever loved her?

She was quite confident in her own appearance, and many men had been smitten by her charms, but unfortunately, none of them could make her heart flutter.

Until she met Lin Chen, her heart, which had long been frozen, began to thaw and burn with passion. His every move could stir her nerves.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen now had someone he liked, and no matter how hard she tried, he always kept that lucky girl she never met in a warm corner of his heart.

"I have a question for you: Have you ever liked me?"

Nangong Xue held a glimmer of hope, for this was the first person she had ever liked, hoping he could give an affirmative answer.

Even if their relationship might eventually come to nothing, at least he would give her an answer, sparing her the agony of sleepless nights and restless tossing.

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment before slowly lifting his head, firmly shaking it. He couldn’t say it out loud; this gesture was the only way he could convey his inner denial.

Despite his outwardly wild and passionate appearance, Lin Chen had always been very cautious in matters of love, never easily allowing his heart to wander.

Lin Chen’s heart held only for Xiao Ying.

If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have come to the Tianyuan Continent. Initially, he took care of Xiao Ying because someone else requested it.

But over time, as they spent every day and night together, Lin Chen gradually realized his feelings for Xiao Ying had changed.

In that moment, Nangong Xue felt as if her heart was dying, as if she had been stabbed, and she slowly turned away to leave the cell.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.

"Can you tell me what she has that’s so good? Am I not more beautiful than she is? Why do you keep holding onto her? If you agree to be with me now, I will run away with you and abandon everything in my family."

Nangong Xue had thought it would be easy to kill him, given that he had defied her family’s will.

But until this moment, Nangong Xue realized her mistake; it turned out that killing someone she loved was too difficult.

As long as she could be with him, she was willing to sacrifice everything.

But if she couldn’t have Lin Chen, then she would rather destroy him. What she wanted, no one else could enjoy, whether it was a person or a thing.

In Nangong Xue’s view, nothing in this world was more important than her own life, including love. Therefore, Lin Chen would definitely choose to compromise to stay alive.

Furthermore, Lin Chen had no cultivation left, and even if he were rescued, he could only follow her.

Lin Chen only gave a faint smile upon hearing this.

"I’m really sorry, I can’t deceive myself, and I can’t deceive you. I’m sure you know that even if I get out, I can’t be with you."

Nangong Xue shook her head with a sigh, then nodded.

"Alright then, have it your way."

After saying this, Nangong Xue turned and left the cell without looking back, and Lin Chen slowly lowered his head.

The conversation with Nangong Xue just now allowed him to see a glimmer of hope once more.

There was still hope for him.

The Ancient God was also leading many from the Five Elements Sect, rushing to the former Nangong family.

The Ancient God had learned that Lin Chen’s whereabouts were with one of the major families on the Tianyuan Continent, the Nangong family. This time they united, resolved to completely eliminate Lin Chen.

Lin Chen once again stirred the entire continent.

The power and fearsome reputation of the Ancient God were evident to many; this time, since the Ancient God personally took action, they were certain to succeed, and thus morale was high.

No one expected Lin Chen to, despite losing his cultivation, defeat and kill the Five Elements Sages, inspiring both anger and amazement in many.

This time, aside from the Five Elements Sect, top experts from many factions like the Kunlun Sect, Tianshan Sect, and Qingcheng Sect collaborated with the Ancient God.

"I have a question for you, Ancient God, and I hope you can answer it."

The Ancient God slowly turned to look at the Tianshan Ancestor beside him and nodded, signaling him to speak up.

Lin Chen had previously annihilated the entire Tianshan Sect single-handedly, which shocked the Tianshan Ancestor, finally bringing this top expert of the Tianshan Sect out of seclusion.

"If the Nangong family tries to stop us from killing Lin Chen, what should we do?" he asked hesitantly while looking at the Ancient God before him.

Even though the Nangong family’s influence had waned in recent years, the dying camel is still bigger than a horse; they should not be underestimated. Although they were several ancient experts, they could not be complacent.

"If they really try to stop us, can’t we just wipe out their family?"

The Ancient God rarely acted lightly, but once determined, it was a sure killing strike.

The ruthless and merciless nature of the Ancient God was witnessed by many; it was said that a single offense led the Ancient God to destroy an entire nation.

"With the Ancient God’s word, we are reassured. We were worried that the Ancient God would hold back this time," someone beside him said, looking at the Ancient God.

"Rest assured, once I’ve decided to harm Lin Chen, I’ll achieve my goal without fail."

While the Ancient God felt anger at Lin Chen’s actions, he mostly felt regret. The boy had talent, and sticking with him could have led him to regain his peak someday.

But unfortunately, he ultimately took the wrong path.

"Reportedly, the Eastern family plans to engage in battle with the Nangong family. Ancient God, do you think the Nangong family stands a chance?" a Kunlun spiritualist facing the Ancient God asked.

The Ancient God had previously fought the leader of the Eastern family, whose skills were extraordinarily high, incomparable to Nangong Xue of the Nangong family.

"Do you even need to ask? The Eastern family is obviously stronger. If I’m not mistaken, the Eastern family will thoroughly annihilate the Nangong family."

In truth, the Ancient God felt somewhat sorry for the Nangong family.
