Chapter 104: The Prince of Dashang
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the same time, hundreds of miles away, a huge skeleton lay on the ground.
It towered into the clouds, pitch-black, surrounded by an almost tangible killing intent.
Even if it had been dead for an unknown number of years, it still instilled fear in anyone who looked at it.
It was hard to imagine how terrifying this skeleton must have been when it was alive.
At this moment, Situ Feng was sitting cross-legged below the skeleton.
Beside him lay a green demonic beast with two wings on its back.
The man and beast were both immersed in cultivation.
As time passed, their strength soared rapidly.
Especially that demonic beast, it bore an uncanny resemblance to the legendary Qiongqi, exuding a terrifying aura even during its cultivation.
Not far away.
A black-robed man looked at the demonic beast and nodded approvingly. He commented, “The demonic beast in Situ Feng’s hands is impressive. It already possesses 30% of the ancient Qiongqi’s aura. If it can completely mature in the future, it will indeed be a great help to me. It is fortunate that Your Highness takes an interest in Situ Feng…”
A person beside the black-robed man said with a smile.
“Haha…”
The black-robed man chuckled but did not respond.
He slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to Lin Xuan, whose cultivation had already been completely suppressed, on the other side. He spoke in a low voice, “This generation of the Dachu Empire has several prodigies, and Lin Xuan is quite remarkable. If he can submit to me, it would be a great tale.”
When Lin Xuan was suppressed, Situ Feng originally wanted to kill him directly to prevent future trouble.
After all, they held an irreconcilable grudge against each other.
If he could not kill Lin Xuan here, once he left the Hundred Demon Battlefield, there would be endless trouble!
However, just as he was about to make his move, the black-robed man suddenly intervened, halting the course of events.
The black-robed man had come to the Dachu Empire with two main objectives.
Firstly, he wanted to enter the Hundred Demon Battlefield, and secondly, he wanted to recruit a group of talents for his own use.
He was the same as the Eldest Prince of the Dachu Empire.
The only difference was…
His true identity was the Prince of the Dashang Empire!
To ascend to the throne of the Dashang Empire in the future, he required the support of numerous prodigies.
“Your Highness, please wait a moment. Perhaps you can try to recruit Su Chen from the Great Mystery Sect. This person has extraordinary talent. He had already stepped into the Forbidden Stage in the Qi Gathering Realm. It is said that he had reached the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm a few days ago and successfully stepped into the Forbidden Stage… If Your Highness can nurture him a little, he might be loyal to you!”
Another subordinate of the black-robed man chimed in.
“Su Chen… I do want to recruit him, but before that, I heard that he had already accepted Chu Feng’s jade pendant. If nothing goes wrong, Su Chen is already under Chu Feng’s allegiance.”
The black-robed man lamented.
The Chu Feng he mentioned was none other than the Dachu Empire’s Eldest Prince!
If Chu Feng hadn’t gifted Su Chen a jade pendant, he would have already extended an invitation to Su Chen.
Even though he had entered the Hundred Demon Battlefield this time, his ideal partner was still Su Chen, not Situ Feng.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late.
He could only choose to cooperate with Situ Feng.
However…
In his opinion, even if he cooperated with Situ Feng, he could still try to recruit Su Chen.
Earlier, he had instructed his subordinates to release a disciple of the Great Mystery Sect to lure Su Chen over.
If Su Chen could be lured, then they could have a discussion.
In any case, conversations within the Hundred Demon Battlefield remained unknown to the outside world.
If Su Chen knew what was good for him, it would be for the best.
If not, he wouldn’t mind helping Situ Feng deal with Su Chen.
After all, anyone who couldn’t be utilized was bound to become any future trouble.
Right now, the relationship between Dachu and Dashang seemed to be very harmonious.
However, one couldn’t predict when a war might break out between the two countries. If Su Chen was not eliminated, he would surely cause endless trouble for the Dashang Empire.
“How can a mere Chu Feng compare to Your Highness?”
A subordinate beside the black-robed man said in a flattering manner, “As long as that Su Chen isn’t stupid, he will definitely know who to follow!”
“I hope so!”
The black-robed man looked at him deeply and said ambiguously.
He understood his situation best and wouldn’t blindly trust everything his subordinates said.
Chu Feng was the only son of the Dachu Emperor.
However, he was different. His father had reigned for a thousand years and had over two hundred children.
The eldest prince was already more than a thousand years old, and the youngest was only three years old.
The Empress of the Dashang Empire had seen countless replacements.
He was ranked over a hundredth among the many children of the Emperor of Dashang, without any outstanding qualifications or background.
If not for the power within the Dashang Empire being already secured by other imperial siblings, why would he have traveled all the way to Dachu to recruit prodigies?
However, he found solace in the fact that his trip yielded good results.
Not only did he find the whereabouts of the Vermillion Bird’s blood, but he also recruited an outstanding prodigy Situ Feng.
If he could successfully recruit Su Chen, then this trip to Dachu would be quite perfect.
“Considering the time, that disciple of the Great Mystery Sect has already escaped for a day. If he is lucky, he should have met Su Chen by now, right?”
The black-robed man thought to himself.
Buzz…
Before he could finish his thoughts, a jade pendant on his waist suddenly flashed with a dazzling red light.
His expression turned cold, and then he revealed a look of joy. He directed his gaze toward a certain spot in the void and said, “Fellow Daoist Su Chen, since you’ve come, why don’t you show yourself?”
“Brother Su, you’re here?!”
Under the huge skeleton, Lin Xuan, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said in surprise.
But soon, his expression became forlorn again. He shouted at a certain place in the void, “Brother Su, run quickly! That Situ Feng obtained the blood of the ancient Qiongqi, and the demonic beast he contracted has already advanced to the God Altar Realm. His battle prowess is overwhelming, and you’re not his match!”
Although Lin Xuan’s cultivation was suppressed, he could still speak.
Now that Su Chen was here, his initial excitement was replaced with calmness.
There were too many experts here.
Just Situ Feng alone was already extremely terrifying, not to mention the three mysterious people in black robes.
These three people hadn’t acted at all, leaving their strength unknown to all.
However, Situ Feng was extremely respectful to them, which meant they possessed formidable backgrounds and strength.
If Su Chen came alone, he wouldn’t even be able to escape, not to mention rescue others!
