85. Chen Xuan: The Louder You Scream, The More Excited I Get!

"Swish!"

As he spoke, "Lin Zhentian" laughed loudly, waving his hand, sending a powerful gust of force through the tomb chamber.

The next second, the sound of a formation breaking echoed through the tomb.

At the same time, a strange noise reached Lin Dong's ears.

He turned to look, and in an instant, a towering rage surged within him, his eyes quickly darkening with a faint layer of black over the red.

"Father! Mother!"

Lin Dong's heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the chamber.

In the corner of the tomb, Liu Yan was covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face, as she was tormented mercilessly by a giant beast.

As for Lin Xiao, he was tied to a stone pillar across from her, unable to move.

His eyes were wide with fury, but he couldn’t make a sound.

With bloodshot eyes, Lin Dong roared, "Beast, let go of my mother!"

[Ding! Lin Dong feels overwhelming rage + murderous intent. Emotion Points +999]

Furious, he picked up a rock from the ground, intending to stop the White-Headed p
pleasure Ape, but a forceful blast of energy threw him back.

"Lin Zhentian!!"

Consumed by rage, Lin Dong called out his name directly.

He turned and charged toward "Lin Zhentian," but only made it a few steps before being caught by a force that transformed into an energy prison, trapping him in mid-air, completely immobilized.

Struggling with all his might, Lin Dong screamed with bloodshot eyes, "Lin Zhentian, let me go! You old bastard, let me go!! I’ll kill you!!"

At this point, he still hadn't realized that the "Lin Zhentian" before him was not his real grandfather but an imposter.

Chen Xuan, holding Qingtan’s waist, appeared in front of Lin Dong with an almost ghostly presence.

Raising his left hand, he slapped Lin Dong repeatedly.

"Smack, smack, smack..."

With over a dozen slaps, Lin Dong's face was swollen, and blood mixed with broken teeth dripped from his mouth, making him look especially pitiful.

These slaps jolted Lin Dong into clarity.

No, this person wasn’t his grandfather!

Lin Zhentian had always treated him with the utmost care. He would never act this way toward him.

But then, who was this person?

Lin Dong couldn’t understand when his family had offended someone so powerful.

Despite his confusion, he stubbornly raised his head, determined to show he wouldn’t be defeated easily.

However, as he lifted his gaze, he was shocked by what he saw.

Lin Zhentian had turned into Lin Xiao!!

What was happening?!

He moved his gaze to the other side, and to his disbelief, his father's figure was still there, unchanged.

Was he seeing things?

"Dear son, have you taken a good look at your father's face?"

With the Disguiser's Robe and the voice simulator he purchased from the system store, Chen Xuan's voice was almost identical to Lin Xiao's. It was nearly impossible to tell the difference.

Even Lin Qingtan, who had been in close contact, was astonished—his face changed in the blink of an eye!

The resemblance was uncanny. How did he do it?

Lin Dong was utterly bewildered. That man was definitely his father… so who was this other figure? Why were there two of him?

Watching Lin Dong’s complex expression, Chen Xuan sneered, "My dear son, don’t you recognize your father?"

“Who are you?!” Lin Dong demanded, coming to his senses.

Chen Xuan sneered, “I’m your father!”

“Bastard!!”

“Hahaha, now all you need to do is watch with wide-open eyes as I toy with your sister and let the White-headed Ape torment your mother. That’s all you need to know.”

As for the reason? He couldn’t be bothered to explain!

“Stop it, stop it!!” Lin Dong screamed.

“Stop? Haha, I haven’t even started!”

Chen Xuan laughed, then ignored him and just barreled forward with no hesitation.

Tears streaming down his face, Lin Dong pleaded, “Please don’t hurt them, please!”

“Don’t worry, I won’t harm her. I won’t let the White-headed Ape kill your mother either.”

“You…”

“I’ll just let it… make her suffer with pleasure!”

“You monster! One day, I, Lin Dong, will never let you get away with this!”

“Too bad, you’ll never get the chance!”

With a cold laugh, Chen Xuan waved his hand, trapping Lin Dong mid-air in an unbreakable yuan prison.

Sensing what was coming, Lin Dong struggled furiously.

He tried to bite his tongue to end it all but was powerless.

He could only watch as his mother was tortured and his sister was tormented—utterly helpless.

Faced with this nightmare, Lin Dong’s eyes turned blood-red, and an overwhelming aura of murderous rage enveloped him. The dark gleam in his eyes deepened.

[Ding! Lin Dong feels rage + murderous intent. Emotion Points +999]

“No! No! Stop it! Take it out on me! You monster!” Lin Dong screamed frantically, hoping Chen Xuan would stop his assault on his mother and sister.

His curses and pleas echoed continuously.

Yet, unbeknownst to him, the louder he screamed, the more exhilarated Chen Xuan became, and the more intense his satisfaction grew.

Lin Qingtan and Liu Yan, meanwhile, suffered increasingly brutal treatment.

[Ding! Lin Qingtan feels pain. Emotion Points +200]

…

[Ding! Lin Qingtan feels numb. Emotion Points +200]

…

[Ding! Lin Qingtan feels strange pleasure + relief. Emotion Points +500]

Lin Xiao had fainted from sheer anger, and Lin Dong felt as though his chest was going to explode.

Yet, despite all this, he couldn’t change anything. The faint darkness in his eyes grew even deeper.

[Ding! Lin Dong feels intense anger. Emotion Points +999]

Chen Xuan also noticed a faint glow flashing on the ancestral symbol book he was holding, which seemed to pulse with an unusual energy.

Was it responding to his rhythm? When he paused, the symbol's glow dimmed.

Good, good! Even the symbol book seemed eager for more!

What a shame, though—the owner of this tomb had perished a thousand years ago, and even the remnants of his soul had long since dispersed.

Otherwise, Chen Xuan would have gladly captured his spirit and let it endure the torture of eternal agony.
