Chapter 78: The Real Deal – Heart-to-Heart! The Annihilation of the Ren Family, Striking Gold

The Ren Family Patriarch was stupefied, looking at Chen Daoxuan with a benevolent smile, a pulsating heart in his hand. Everyone present was flabbergasted!

Initially, people had been wondering why Chen Daoxuan hadn't killed the Ren Family Patriarch and had instead engaged in heart-to-heart talk. Could it be that he wanted to win the Patriarch over?

After all, the Ren Family was a significant family in the Eastern Domain, and the Ren Family Patriarch possessed the formidable power of the Fourth Layer of the Divinity Separation Realm. Subduing him would indeed be a great asset!

Indeed, in the eyes of the Northern Domain, any Boundless Realm elder of the Ren Family was an unreachable existence! But what about now? What had they seen?

Chen Daoxuan smiled, and just as the Ren Family Patriarch had agreed to discuss heart-to-heart matters, Chen Daoxuan suddenly reached into the Patriarch's chest! Then, just as suddenly, a pulsating heart appeared in Chen Daoxuan's hand?!

So, this "heart-to-heart" conversation was… literally that?! He had just directly reached into the Patriarch's chest?!

"Hiss… A true heart-to-heart!"

"The thinking of a powerhouse is indeed different from ordinary mortals. It's beyond our comprehension!"

After the shock had subsided, various powers all made up their minds – they must never offend this guy!

Before, they only knew that Leng Yanran was an unscrupulous female demon who didn't blink at exterminating a whole family. Now, they realized that she was actually quite lenient in comparison! Compared to her, her master was truly terrifying! No wonder he had been able to cultivate such a disciple. Remarkable…

"Old man, are you alright? Your complexion seems a bit pale. Is something bothering you?"

Ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, Chen Daoxuan wore an expression of concern as he asked the Ren Family Patriarch. Seeing this, many people's mouths twitched; they wanted to shout, "You've just plucked out his heart, how can he be comfortable?"

But no one dared to utter a sound in this place. In fact, out of fear, everyone subconsciously held their breath, afraid to draw Chen Daoxuan's attention.

"My heart… My heart…"

The Ren Family Patriarch's eyes were bloodshot. Weakly, he tried to reach for his heart, his will to survive propping him up despite his lack of strength. After all, he was a Separation Realm expert. Even though his heart had been taken out of his body, he hadn't died on the spot. He still hoped to retrieve it!

"Ah? Uncomfortable heart? Alright, alright, old man, don't worry. I'll fix it for you."

Upon hearing the Ren Family Patriarch's words, Chen Daoxuan's expression suddenly lit up as if he had just realized something. Following that, right before the Ren Family Patriarch's widened eyes, a loud "pop!" sounded as Chen Daoxuan squeezed the heart, bursting it open!

"Ugh…"

With the heart's explosion, the Ren Family Patriarch's life force dissipated. At the moment of his death, his wide eyes remained red.

The final thought that lingered in his mind was, why did he provoke this devil…

[Host has killed a Fourth Layer of the Divinity Separation Realm, reward: 40,000 system points.]

Once again, receiving a solid 40,000 system points, he now had more than 67,000 points! It could truly be said that he had struck it rich overnight!

The system's notification chimed, and Chen Daoxuan couldn't suppress his joy, revealing a satisfied smile. However, in the eyes of everyone else, this scene resembled the appearance of an ancient demonic god or even the most sinister ancient demon!

The Ren Family Patriarch, an expert of the Divinity Separation Realm, was simply a plaything in his eyes. Look at him, so content with that smile, he's a complete lunatic!

"Tsk, how repulsive!"

Naturally, Chen Daoxuan wasn't satisfied because he killed the Ren Family Patriarch but because of the system points. Yet, after the joy settled, he noticed the foreign object in his hand. With a disgusted expression, he flicked his hand, using his spiritual energy to thoroughly clean away the residue.

Compared to the Ren Family Patriarch's proposal to subdue the entire Ren Family, he preferred the practicality of the system points the Ren Family offered! After all, system points could enhance his own realm and even exchange for various treasures in the system's shop!

"Hmm... there's still someone left!"

After dealing with the Ren Family Patriarch and the Four Elders, Chen Daoxuan didn't forget the now unconscious Ren Family Head. Lightly, he drifted to the mountain top where Leng Yanran and the others were located.

At this moment, the three elders of the Holy Mountain, facing Chen Daoxuan once again, were all tense. They quickly dispelled the joint barrier they had set up. Standing there very respectfully, they bowed to Chen Daoxuan.

"Earlier, we didn't truly understand the senior's strength. We were blind and ignorant, please don't blame us!"

One of the elders even hurriedly spoke up. After all, in their eyes, Chen Daoxuan was now a fickle, heartless devil, too terrifying! Who knew if this guy might bear a grudge over the recent events and suddenly decide to attack them with a smile? They certainly didn't want to have a heart-to-heart with Chen Daoxuan…

"Master!"

Leng Yanran was the first to rush to the mountaintop where her master landed, diving into her master's embrace. When she saw her master being hit by the Fire Dragon for the first time, she had been truly worried.

"I didn't scare you earlier, did I, my disciple?"

Seeing the appearance of his disciple, Chen Daoxuan lightly laughed and asked. The swift and neat beheading of the Ren Family Head earlier was a result of his anger after hearing the Ren Family's intention to send his disciple to a brothel.

Additionally, it was important for everyone present to have a good look and remember what they would face if they dared to harm his disciple! As for the third point, it was also significant – he wanted the people of the Holy Mountain to be afraid of him!

"No, Master, to protect me, you didn't hesitate to dirty your own hands. Yanran is not scared at all! Yanran... Yanran likes Master the most! Crazy or not, no matter what Master does, Yanran will like it!"

Nestled in her master's embrace, Leng Yanran muttered softly. To be honest, when she saw that side of her master earlier, it was the first time. But thinking about how her master had acted to protect her, her heart was moved, and there was no fear at all.

Instead, it was the Ren Family who had the audacity to dirty their hands against her master. How could they compare? In Leng Yanran's heart, her master had become a belief-like existence, always right no matter what he did!

"That's good. Now, let me deal with this guy. Otherwise, he might slow down on the journey to the Yellow Springs later, and I would be to blame."

After speaking, Chen Daoxuan temporarily released Leng Yanran from his embrace. Under the gaze of everyone, he casually walked to the side of the unconscious Ren Uhuh. He raised his leg. He stepped down.

"Crunch!"

Ren Uh left peacefully, at least without any painful expression. Of course, that was if a headless corpse could even make an expression…

"Thank the heavens… No, thank you, Ren Family buddy, for the generous contribution..."
