#271 - Quasi-Emperor Helper
“Brother Anning…”
The burly woman’s eyes were filled with tenderness as she gently pulled on Xu Anning’s hand, causing him to stumble. Like a small chick, he was forced to lean against her.
Xu Anning swallowed hard, not daring to resist, his eyes staring blankly at the sky.
“Are these fellow Daoists friends of Young Master Xu?”
“This is my young lady, Yilan.”
“My name is Chen Lezhang, and we are from the Heavenly Fox Clan.”
Chen Lezhang looked at Su Chen and the others with a gentle smile, not putting on any airs despite being a Quasi-Emperor.
“Heavenly Fox Clan?”
Nan Yin and the others were shocked upon hearing this.
Like the Heavenly Wolf Clan, the Heavenly Fox Clan was a royal clan among the demon race, possessing immense power. Their ancestors had even produced Demon Emperors!
Unlike the decline of the Profound Abyss Palace, the Heavenly Fox Clan was said to still have Emperor-realm experts overseeing them, deterring all directions!
“Junior Su Chen, Holy Son of the Azure Profound Holy Land, this is Qing Ling, and this is Nan Yin…”
Facing a Quasi-Emperor, Su Chen remained calm and composed, stating their identities.
“Azure Profound Holy Land?”
Chen Lezhang’s heart stirred, and a few more smiles appeared on his face.
The Azure Profound Holy Land had a deep connection with the Profound Abyss Palace, and as a righteous sect, its reputation had always been good.
In Chen Lezhang’s eyes, Su Chen and his group were definitely friends of Xu Anning.
“You are Brother Anning’s friends, so you are… are my, Yilan’s, friends! I’ll protect you from now on!”
The burly woman laughed heartily.
“Since that’s the case, how about we travel together and explore the ancient Great Emperor’s tomb together?”
Su Chen extended an invitation.
If they could have a Quasi-Emperor traveling with them, the upcoming plan would be much smoother.
“This is an ancient Great Emperor’s tomb?”
Chen Lezhang was shocked upon hearing this!
Yilan, on the other hand, had a smiling expression as she rubbed Xu Anning’s head, seemingly uninterested in the ancient Great Emperor’s tomb.
Su Chen nodded, revealing some information.
After learning that there were nine layers of inverted heavens here, and that each layer held opportunities and fortune, Chen Lezhang pondered for a moment before agreeing.
Su Chen took out a communication treasure and began contacting Old Ancestor Wu Ling.
At this time, the Azure Profound Holy Land’s group had also entered the first layer of heaven and were exploring everywhere.
After receiving Su Chen’s message, Old Ancestor Wu Ling’s tone was somewhat reproachful: “You brat, why are you running so fast? Where are you now? Come and join us!”
“Almost all the holy lands in Azure Province have come, and even experts from Emperor-level lineages have been dispatched. It’s dangerous for you to venture out alone! We have our grandmaster leading the team here…”
“I know.”
Su Chen interrupted Old Ancestor Wu Ling’s words.
Su Chen quickly said: “Old Ancestor, this is an ancient Great Emperor’s tomb, opened by Master Lingyue. There are nine layers of inverted heavens here, and we are currently in the first layer.”
“A hundred years ago, Master obtained a special token, which allowed her to open the tomb. Master is now heading to the ninth layer. Above the nine layers lies the greatest secret of the tomb, which is also the key to Master unlocking her inner demons!”
“These nine layers of heaven were once relics of the ancient era, and each layer has many opportunities and fortunes to explore.”
“Starting from the seventh layer, the last three layers are very dangerous. Even Saint-realm experts will find it difficult to survive, so remember not to enter!”
“I have already obtained the token, and we will follow in Master’s footsteps to the nine layers above.”
“But my abilities are limited, and I cannot protect too many people, so I can only act separately from the main force of the Holy Land.”
“The huge vortex connecting the firmament is the passage to the next layer of heaven. Once it’s opened, it won’t close…”
“I have found a Quasi-Emperor helper, so Old Ancestor doesn’t need to worry about our safety.”
Su Chen revealed many secrets in one breath.
Before Old Ancestor Wu Ling could speak, Su Chen cut off the communication.
It wasn’t that Su Chen didn’t want to bring the Azure Profound Holy Land’s group to explore the ancient Great Emperor’s tomb together.
But the last three layers were too dangerous, and the forbidden land above the nine layers was not a place where the Azure Profound Holy Land’s group could set foot!
If he brought the Azure Profound Holy Land’s group with him, Su Chen would not be able to guarantee their safety at all.
The more people there were, the more dangerous it would be!
“What!?”
After listening to Su Chen’s message, Old Ancestor Wu Ling’s heart trembled violently, and he couldn’t help but gasp!
The amount of information in Su Chen’s words was too great, and after being stunned for a while, Old Ancestor Wu Ling’s mood was indescribably complex.
This place was actually an ancient Great Emperor’s tomb!
“This kid…”
Old Ancestor Wu Ling’s expression changed for a while, and he only felt that Su Chen had become mysterious and unpredictable.
Old Ancestor Wu Ling hesitated for a while, and instead of continuing to contact Su Chen, he immediately conveyed the message to the other Saint-realm experts of the Azure Profound Holy Land.
After learning the news, the group of Saint-realm experts were also shocked and stirred up a storm in their hearts.
“How could Su Chen know so many secrets?”
A question couldn’t help but appear in their minds.
“Just do as Su Chen said, and we will explore the opportunities and fortunes in the first six layers of heaven.”
The grandmaster leading the team made a decisive decision.
“But Junior Sister Lingyue and Xuanfeng, and them…”
A Saint-realm expert hesitated for a moment, feeling very uneasy about Su Chen and Lingyue.
“I believe in them.”
The grandmaster shook his head, his voice calm.
