#268 - The young master of Xuanming Palace?
"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm."
Su Chen smiled slightly and said, "I am Su Chen, the Holy Son of the Cangxuan Holy Land. May I ask how you are called?"
"Cangxuan Holy Land?"
Upon hearing this, the young man's eyes lit up, and his tense heart couldn't help but relax.
"Fellow Daoist Su, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"I am Xu Anning, from the Xuanming Palace of the Mingshai Sea, and I am the young master of this generation of the Xuanming Palace."
"Speaking of which, our Xuanming Palace and the Cangxuan Holy Land have quite a history. Five thousand years ago, an ancestor of the Xuanming Palace made a contract with an ancestor of the Cangxuan Holy Land to become the guardian sacred beast of the Cangxuan Holy Land…"
"We're on the same side…"
The young man shook hands with Su Chen with a smile, his attitude enthusiastic.
"Xuanming Palace of the Mingshai Sea?"
Zi Xuan and Luo Qianqian's hearts stirred. They were no strangers to this sect and power, having learned relevant information before.
The Mingshai Sea is located in the border area between Qingzhou and Yunzhou, vast and boundless, inhabited by many aquatic creatures.
The Xuanming Palace is one of the overlords of the Mingshai Sea, established by the Xuan Turtle clan, and it rules over many aquatic creatures in the Mingshai Sea.
It is said that the Xuan Turtle clan possesses the bloodline of the divine beast Xuanwu, with an ancient heritage and profound strength!
The Xuan Turtle clan has had Emperor Realm experts sitting in charge throughout the generations.
However, in the war a thousand years ago, the Xuanming Palace suffered heavy losses, and the Emperor Realm ancestor fell. It has declined a lot in the past thousand years.
The Cangxuan Holy Land and the Xuanming Palace have indeed had many interactions in history, with a fairly good relationship and mutual exchanges.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, are you really the young master of the Xuanming Palace?"
Zi Xuan asked with some doubt.
She could sense that Xu Anning was not a Xuan Turtle transformed into a human, but that his true form was human!
At most, Xu Anning just had the bloodline of the Xuan Turtle clan in his body.
According to the rules of the Xuanming Palace, non-pure-blooded Xuan Turtle clan members cannot become the young master.
"Of course!"
Xu Anning puffed out his chest.
When you're out and about, you decide your own identity. If I say I am, then I am!
Zi Xuan asked again, "May I ask where the seniors of the Xuanming Palace are?"
"Nowhere."
Xu Anning gave a dry laugh and said, "Actually, I am cultivating alone outside, and I accidentally saw a sky full of strange phenomena appearing here, so I sneaked in."
"You were able to come here alone?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Xuan and the others were a little surprised.
You must know that this strange ancient city is extremely dangerous. Su Chen and Nan Yin had to kill many Saint Realm-level undead knights along the way before they could sneak into this palace.
But Xu Anning was actually able to sneak in alone?
In Zi Xuan's perception, Xu Anning's cultivation was only at the second level of the Monarch Realm, which was not considered high.
"It's all good luck…"
Xu Anning rubbed his hands with a smile.
But Zi Xuan and the others didn't believe that Xu Anning was really just lucky.
This guy, who looked a little sneaky, definitely had a lot of secrets and methods!
Su Chen said, "Since Fellow Daoist Xu is alone, why not join our team and work together to explore this place? What do you think?"
Xu Anning hesitated slightly.
However, he did not sense any hostility from Su Chen and his group.
After thinking for a while, Xu Anning nodded and agreed, joining Su Chen's team.
Under the strange gazes of Su Chen and his group, Xu Anning gave a dry laugh and awkwardly took off his long skirt.
Su Chen and the others didn't care too much, and together with Xu Anning, they continued to explore this palace.
Boom!
Suddenly, in the very center of this palace, a dull and terrifying loud noise came out, shaking the entire ancient city!
A terrifying pressure erupted, almost exceeding the limit of the Saint Realm!
"It's here!"
Su Chen's heart stirred, and he immediately led everyone to the top of a higher palace, observing in secret.
In a golden palace, the roof exploded, revealing a throne made of pure gold.
On the throne, there was a burly and tall figure sitting upright, wearing a dragon robe and an imperial crown, with unparalleled majesty.
A blood-stained spear pierced through his head, nailing him to the throne!
At this moment, this corpse, which had been dead for a long time, strangely opened its eyes, and a terrifying pressure of the quasi-Emperor level erupted from its body, shaking all directions!
"Cough, cough cough…"
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is this thing?"
In the golden palace, Chu Fan covered his chest, staggered back, and couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Beside him was a woman with a good appearance and figure, Zhao Xianglu.
In addition to Zhao Xianglu, there were also five figures shrouded in black robes. Their expressions were solemn, and they stared closely at the quasi-Emperor corpse.
And…
The jade seal placed on the table in front of the quasi-Emperor corpse!
"I'll hold back this quasi-Emperor corpse for a while. You guys find a chance to take the jade seal. That jade seal is the token to enter the next level!"
The leading black-robed man opened his mouth in a low voice, his voice old and hoarse.
"Understood!"
Chu Fan and the others nodded with solemn expressions.
An enemy at the quasi-Emperor level was too terrifying, and even the Celestial Human Race experts might not be able to win.
Sizzle!
The quasi-Emperor corpse pulled out the spear from its head and waved it violently at Chu Fan and his group, bursting out a beam of golden light, peerlessly sharp, sweeping in all directions!
"Retreat!"
The Celestial Human Race elder shouted in a deep voice, stepping forward, pulling out a scimitar in his backhand, releasing the powerful power of the ninth level of the Saint Realm, with surging laws, resisting the attack of the quasi-Emperor corpse.
