Chapter 689: Chapter 692: Canon Clan (Third Update)
When Lin Zhen asked this question, the people of Nan Liang almost collectively gasped.
Can the emperor and the queen also get divorced?
Why would Lin Zhen ask such a question? freewebnσvel.cѳm
Even some who had heard some rumors couldn’t help but secretly speculate. However, this issue could not be casually talked about in the Dimensional Universe.
Liang Chen also looked bewildered and asked in confusion, “Why would they get divorced?”
“You don’t need to ask why. You just need to tell me who you would choose to inform. If you answer well, I’ll let you off today. If you don’t, then you’ll be eliminated soon. If you’re eliminated now, you’ll definitely miss out on the Qi of Divine Transformation in the future. Do you believe me?”
Although Liang Chen wanted to fight Lin Zhen to the death, no one would want to be eliminated if they could help it.
In fact, he was now experiencing a great sense of surprise. When had Lin Zhen become less fierce? This was like the sun rising from the west.
With a try-and-see attitude, Liang Chen answered, “If that’s the case, I will definitely inform my mother, not my father.”
“Oh! Why is that?”
“It’s simple. For hundreds of years, I’ve been brought up by my mother. My father never cared about me. My growth and life were all dependent on her, she taught me martial arts, gave me money to spend and taught me how to be a person. Who else would I look for?”
“Hmm! You’re a good child. Your mother’s care for you hasn’t been in vain. Get up.”
Liang Chen looked incredulously at Lin Zhen, who helped him up, and asked, “Are you really not here to kill me?”
Lin Zhen snorted, “Do you think you’re worth me making a special trip?”
As he said that, Lin Zhen felt a bit of an itch in his foot. He had just kicked Liang Chen four times and it felt quite good.
Liang Chen quietly moved two steps away, already having developed a psychological shadow from being kicked by Lin Zhen.
“Lin Zhen, you didn’t kill me this time, but I won’t owe you any favors. You cheated me out of so much money before, which hurt me a lot. Although you saved me this time, let’s just call it even. I won’t tell my mother about this.”
Lin Zhen glanced at him, “If you could let your mother confront me, I would have to thank you.”
“Ah! Why? Are you crazy?” Liang Chen looked at Lin Zhen and felt that this guy was a bit stupid. If Ning Qingxuan really confronted Lin Zhen, would he still have a way to live?
Of course, Lin Zhen wouldn’t explain this issue and ignored Liang Chen, taking out his map instead. He wanted to search for the next hero flag.
It must be said that the martial artists here were crazy. People from every war zone roamed around, their points skyrocketing at an alarming rate. One second they would rise by thousands or tens of thousands of places, but the next second they could be eliminated. Although Lin Zhen had killed a hero flag, in the short span of time that had passed, his overall rank had slipped to over three thousand.
“You don’t have to follow me anymore. Just go directly to other war zones. You won’t be able to earn points here.”
Lin Zhen waved his hand, driving Liang Chen away. Only then did Liang Chen truly believe that Lin Zhen didn’t want to harm him.
After knowing this, Liang Chen didn’t want to leave.
“Why don’t I stick with you for a while? Let’s go to another war zone together, and work together against enemies. If I follow you, I should be able to earn quite a few points too. Just think of it as repaying the money you owe me.”
Lin Zhen looked back at him and suddenly sent out a ghostly kick, sending Liang Chen flying several hundred meters away. Without turning his head, Lin Zhen left, still searching for Ke Xiangnan.
**********
Lin Zhen and Liang Chen’s conversation contained a significant amount of information.
First of all, these words confirmed the truthfulness of the content of the post. There were indeed conflicts between them, and Liang Chen had indeed been cheated out of a lot of money by Lin Zhen.
This also meant that Ning Qingxuan had also lost a lot of money along with them.
However, Lin Zhen’s behavior didn’t seem to harbor much resentment towards Liang Chen. On the contrary, he saved Liang Chen’s life, although the method of doing so was somewhat crude – kicking the Crown Prince like a ball.
Regardless, he saved him. And let’s not forget, Lin Zhen was the first one to kill an enemy’s hero flag, which greatly boosted the momentum of Nan Liang.
Public opinion, which had originally been somewhat unfavorable for Lin Zhen, gradually began to turn around.
“The person who posted the message has ulterior motives. Although what he said is true, releasing it at this time is an obvious attempt to smear Lin Zhen.”
“Yes indeed. No matter what Lin Zhen has done before, he’s currently fighting for Nan Liang’s glory. Just for that, I support him.”
“Am I the only one who thinks Lin Zhen is taking care of His Royal Highness? It seems quite caring.”
“I feel the same way, and I always feel there’s more to Lin Zhen’s words. Will the emperor and queen really get divorced?”
“Shh… Be careful what you say upstairs. Don’t talk nonsense about some things.”

Seeing everything in the Dimensional Universe, Liang Zhihuan’s forehead veins nearly burst.
Lin Zhen actually took care of Liang Chen, undoubtedly at Ning Qingxuan’s instruction.
What happened between them during those two years they were alone together? How much progress had been made? How far did it go?
Did they hold hands? Hug? Kiss? Sleep together?
Each thought was like a poison snake gnawing at Liang Zhihuan’s heart, torturing him constantly.
“Shi Xiaomao! Find an opportunity to release the next explosive piece of news. We must tarnish Lin Zhen’s reputation!”
Shi Xiaomao promised, but he didn’t have much confidence in his heart.

In Building 39, Ke Xiangnan stood next to a martial artist.
Although he was a genius from the Kirin clan, Ke Xiangnan did not have a good time in the Original World.
Due to the influence of the Lin Zhen incident, he had not received the full support from his clan, nor had he obtained the cultivation resources he needed. After hundreds of years, he finally managed to eliminate Lin Zhen’s impact.
However, his cultivation had been delayed, and to this day, Ke Xiangnan was only a Fourth-Level World King.
It may sound good, but one must remember that he had cultivated for 700 years more than Lin Zhen!
This time, Ke Xiangnan got a spot for the Divine Punishment Star battle thanks to his elder brother, Ke Xiangdong.
Ke Xiangdong was now a Peak Level Nine World King and a Hero Flag owner in the Northern Continent.
But before meeting up with his brother, Ke Xiangnan still had to watch the expression on this martial artist’s face.
This was No.1 Hero Flag owner in the Eastern Continent’s 39th Battle Zone – Ye Changtian!
Ye Changtian did not belong to any country but a martial arts sect called the Secret Sect.
The Secret Sect’s Young Master, Holy Word, was the fourth-ranked super-strong individual on the continent, and Ye Changtian was one of his Four Gods.
Ye Changtian’s overall ranking was within the top 100, making him a very powerful martial artist.
“So embarrassing! The first eliminated Hero Flag is from our Battle Zone, that bastard Lin Erhu!”
Ke Xiangnan said to Ye Changtian beside him, “Boss, the person who eliminated Lin Erhu is someone I know. He’s also from the New World and we’ve competed in the past, so he’s not to be underestimated.”
“Are you talking about Lin Zhen? Is he here to find you?”
Ke Xiangnan gave a bitter smile, “It’s possible; this guy is vindictive and quite a bastard.”
“Well then, it’s easy to deal with. You go to the top of the building, raise a flag with your name on it, and shout loudly for Lin Zhen to attract him over.”
“What! I’m going… going to be a target?”
“Nonsense! Without doing this, how can we lure this guy out the fastest way? Are we going to let him slaughter in our 39th Zone?”
Ke Xiangnan’s face turned as pale as a dead mother. He was almost certain Lin Zhen was here to find him; otherwise, why would he be in this particular battle zone out of one hundred? He would be avoiding Lin Zhen if he could, let alone going out to die.
However, he didn’t dare to defy Ye Changtian’s words, so he reluctantly went out.
He waved a big flag on the roof and kept shouting Lin Zhen’s name, making the surrounding martial artists look at him like a fool.

In the Western Continent, a Hero Flag martial artist fell to the ground, covered in blood.
“Puff~!”
Qin Jianfeng pulled out his sword with a gloomy look on his face.
On his chest were now two Level Three Gold Stars.
This meant that he had killed twelve Hero Flags.
However, he wasn’t happy, as the first kill was stolen by Lin Zhen. He had been a step too slow, and now the Hero Flags were getting scarcer and scarcer.
Checking the Continental Rankings, out of the 4,000 Hero Flags, less than 3,000 were left.
In just under three hours, one-third had been eliminated.
“The Hero Flags in the Western Continent are getting scarce, and it’s not that satisfying to kill. I should go to other continents to have some fun.”
“The Holy Word of the Secret Sect is on the Eastern Continent, and his Four Gods are there too. And there’s also that mysterious La Moti. Ocean Emperor Boston is in the Southern Continent, and the Three Ocean Gladiators are in the south as well. These two places should be saved for later.”
“Now I can only go to the Northern Continent. It’s the territory of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, with many different races. It’s just right for mass slaughter. Although I’ll lose half of my points, I won’t take long to earn it back!”
As soon as the idea came, Qin Jianfeng used the teleportation array to go to the Northern Continent.
The teleportation loss of half of his points instantly knocked Qin Jianfeng off the first place.
However, no one dared to underestimate him. Qin Jianfeng was the first person to cross continents for battle. Knowing that he was heading north, the Northern Continent was suddenly on edge.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Nan Liang, Liang Zhihuan was meeting with someone.
This was an unremarkable martial artist, who was now only at the Five-Level Constant Star and was not worth mentioning in terms of strength.
Shi Xiaomao introduced him to Liang Zhihuan, “Your Majesty, this is the Canon Clan martial artist you were looking for. His name is Laxia.”
Liang Zhihuan’s gaze scrutinized Laxia up and down, full of deep suspicion.
“Respected Majesty, I can guess what you’re thinking. You probably think that since this kid’s strength is so poor, his other half can’t be strong either, am I right?”
Liang Zhihuan didn’t make a sound, but his expression said it all.
“I can understand your feelings, but please believe me, Your Majesty. Our Canon Clan martial artists are born with two heads, four arms, and four legs. In order to achieve success, we must split one person into two.”
“All the spirit, talent, ability, and even luck are concentrated in the other half, leaving the remaining half basically useless. So don’t look at me being only at the Constant Star Stage, the weaker I am, the stronger my other half.”
“So what’s your other half’s name?”
“Well, why don’t you open the rankings and see the martial artist ranked fourth in the overall standings? Isn’t La Moti just like me in appearance?”
Liang Zhihuan hurriedly opened the rankings and looked at the information of the fourth-ranked Holy Word, only to discover that Laxia was right – they looked exactly the same!
