“Haha…” The Spirit Race Patriarch chuckled and said, “It’s about time Qin Hao should have fallen. But… Why haven’t we received any news yet?”
Clearly, he was quite puzzled.
Just as he was secretly amazed, a ring within his storage ring began to emit a faint white light. The Spirit Race Patriarch sensed the difference and a thick smile spread across his face.
Indeed, he got what he thought. He had just been discussing Qin Hao’s situation, and now news had arrived. If things went as expected, Qin Hao should be dead by now. Qin Hao’s demise would likely put Su Chen in a difficult position as well.
The Spirit Race Patriarch took out a jade slip with a knowing smile and probed it with his divine sense.
However, the moment he read the content, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
“This… How is this possible?” he muttered softly, his face filled with disbelief.
Boom!
In the next moment, he clenched the jade slip tightly, crushing it into pieces. At this moment, his face was grim as he said, “Hmph! A bunch of useless people, deploying so many powerhouses and failing to lull a God Altar Realm kid!”
Failing to kill Qin Hao was one thing, but what was crucial was that the group he had sent had let Qin Hao escape right before everyone’s eyes.
One had to understand that not long ago, he had arranged for Spirit Race experts to surround Qin Hao and had even provided an Image Stone for people to watch Qin Hao being hunted down.
But now, not only had Qin Hao not been killed, he had managed to escape in front of everyone. Wasn’t this tantamount to shooting himself in the foot?
The Spirit Race Patriarch suddenly felt a sense of urgency when he considered Qin Hao’s rapid growth rate. After all, Qin Hao had left the Qin family just a few years ago. However, he had cultivated to the God Altar Realm in these few short years. Given more time, he might become a Nirvana Realm or even a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse!
He didn’t want to witness the rise of a heaven-defying prodigy like Su Chen. Especially when the two of them seemed to share the same stance.
“Can we really mobilize Saint Realm experts again just to eliminate Qin Hao?” The Spirit Race Patriarch thought with a dark expression.
Meanwhile, in a place hundreds of thousands of miles away, a golden divine light streaked through the void, landing on a mountain peak with a resounding crash.
As the golden radiance dissipated, a golden chariot appeared, and Su Chen stepped out from it. Behind him, Huo Xi followed closely, wearing a fiery red dress that flowed down to the ground, resembling a fairy.
Su Chen stood atop the mountain peak, gazing into the void with a smile on his face, muttering to himself, “He’s here!”
Upon hearing this, Huo Xi, filled with curiosity, asked, “Who’s here?”
She had initially thought that Su Chen would ask her to leave after arriving at this place, but it seemed there was more to it. It seemed that he was waiting for someone. But who was he waiting for?
“Roar!”
A dragon’s roar echoed across the heavens, followed by a terrifying aura reverberating through the world.
At this moment, Huo Xi felt utterly small and insignificant. Faced with this power, she was like a duckweed in a vast ocean, at risk of being overwhelmed at any moment. A sense of insignificance welled up within her.
Although she was uncertain of the owner of this aura’s true strength, she had a feeling that if that person willed it, she would meet her end on the spot.
“A Saint Realm expert?” Huo Xi’s pupils widened in astonishment.
However, she wasn’t entirely sure; perhaps the owner of this aura wasn’t merely at the Saint Realm. Could the person’s strength surpass that of a saint? Otherwise, how could this person emit such terrifying pressure?
Was this the person Su Chen had been waiting for?
With this thought, Huo Xi’s gaze towards Su Chen took on an additional tinge of awe.
Boom!
At that moment, the sky shattered, and seven-colored divine light descended, illuminating the world. A graceful figure gradually took form. The moment she appeared, it was as if she became the center of the universe.
She was tall and her legs were fair. Her seven-colored robes fluttered in the wind, yet they couldn’t conceal her striking curves. She was a woman of unparalleled beauty.
Although she appeared to be around twenty years old, her skin was fair and radiant like jade, and her face was veiled by a faint mist, making it impossible to discern her true visage.
“Is this the Saint Realm expert from the Great Mystery Sacred Sect?” Huo Xi speculated to herself. While the woman’s strength remained unknown, she was undoubtedly above the Saint Realm. Yet, there seemed to be only one Saint Realm expert from the Great Mystery Sacred Sect behind Su Chen. But here was the issue, Didn’t everyone say that the Great Mystery Sacred Sect’s Saint Realm expert was an elderly man? When had it become a woman?
Thinking this, Huo Xi looked at Su Chen with a puzzled expression. However, at that moment, the woman slowly descended from the sky and stood before Su Chen. Her rosy lips parted slightly as she said, “Long Wu pays respects to Master!”
As she spoke, the mist covering her face gradually dissipated, revealing an almost perfect countenance.
“Master… Master?” Huo Xi stared at Su Chen in shock. In her homeland, Saint Realm experts were nearly extinct. Anyone in the Nirvana Realm could dominate a region. If a Saint Realm expert appeared, it would be a major event.
It wasn’t until she arrived in the East Barrens that she learned about the legendary Saint Realm experts… And it seemed like there were quite a few of them?
At the very least, each saint-level power would have one or two experts in this level. However, even so, Saint Realm experts weren’t the kind of beings that ordinary people could easily meet. And now, an individual who seemed to be a saint, and possibly even more powerful, had appeared.
What was even more important was that she actually addressed Su Chen as her master! This greatly changed Huo Xi’s perception.
“The initial stage of the Saint King Realm…”
Su Chen glanced at Long Wu with a faint sweep. From the moment she appeared, Su Chen had already understood. Not only could he sense Long Wu’s true strength, but he could also clearly discern her thoughts.
Speaking of Long Wu, Su Chen had to thank those individuals who had bragged about him in the God Demon Sect’s ruins. After Su Chen gave the Black Tortoise’s Egg to Qin Hao that day, some people had secretly speculated whether Su Chen had some other divine beast lineage.
At the time, Su Chen didn’t it seriously. After all, the system had given him the target of one hundred thousand people! For him, this number was astronomical, so he had always thought it was impossible to achieve. But he didn’t expect that, with the help of these people’s promotion for over a year, the number would actually be reached.
Shortly after he resolved the situation with the Purple Clouds Holy Land, the system notified him that Long Wu would arrive at a certain location and guided him there.
Su Chen, who had originally intended to look for Qin Hao, changed his course and followed the system’s guidance to this place..
