#286 - Young Master of Xuanming Palace

Su Chen activated the Shuttle of Void, leading everyone away from the desert.

Boom—

Just as Su Chen and his group left the desert, they heard a deafening roar from the distance.

A massive vortex connecting the sky and the earth was glowing, the surrounding black mist dissipated, revealing a bright blue pillar of light, surrounded by spatial fragments, mysterious and astonishing.

"Someone has opened the spatial passage to the Fourth Heaven!"

"Do they also have a token?"

Qing Ling, Chen Lezhang, and the others were momentarily stunned, somewhat surprised.

"It's normal."

Su Chen wasn't surprised, explaining, "Although the Nine Heavens Celestial Palace are nine independent small worlds, as subjects of the Frostburn Great Emperor, some sects and forces in each heaven are qualified to go above the Nine Heavens to meet the Frostburn Great Emperor."

"They all have tokens to open the spatial passage."

"The token I have is just one of them."

Nan Yin said, "Should we follow them? There must be opportunities in the Fourth Heaven, and it would be bad if others get there first."

Su Chen shook his head, "No rush, there are many opportunities in the Nine Heavens Celestial Palace, we don't need to get everything, just take what's suitable for us."

"There's another treasure trove in the Third Heaven, let's go take a look first, and then go to the Fourth Heaven."

With that, Su Chen activated the Shuttle of Void, locked onto a direction, and advanced rapidly.

At the same time.

Two mysterious figures, completely shrouded in black robes, quietly mingled among the crowd and entered the Nine Heavens Celestial Palace!

Outside, the anomalies caused by the ancient Great Emperor's tomb continued, alarming all directions, and the news spread like a tide.

During this period, the sacred grounds and Emperor-level lineages of several nearby states were attracted, and it wasn't just the sects and forces of Azure State that entered the Nine Heavens Celestial Palace.

The two Quasi-Emperors of the Celestial Race mingled among them, without attracting much attention.

By the time they contacted the Celestial Race elder, Su Chen and his group had already arrived at their destination.

In the vast and boundless ruins, a majestic mountain stood tall.

The mountain was covered with ancient and vigorous trees, dense shrubs, abundant spiritual energy, and even immortal cranes and spiritual birds occasionally soared, the scene was peaceful and serene, like a paradise on earth.

If it were placed outside, this wouldn't be so alarming, many sacred grounds have similar treasure lands.

But the Third Heaven was full of ruins, the earth was dry and cracked, all the buildings were fragmented, and the scene was devastated.

In such a barren land, such a sacred mountain was preserved so well, it was simply a miracle!

It seemed out of place with the surrounding environment!

Therefore, a considerable number of martial artists from various sects and forces gathered here.

Their eyes were burning, convinced that there must be earth-shattering opportunities on this sacred mountain!

But strangely.

Everyone could only wander at the foot of the mountain, as if this sacred mountain was protected by an invisible barrier, no one could get close.

Let alone climb the mountain.

Martial artists from various sects and forces tried all kinds of methods, but couldn't find a clue, and didn't know how to enter the sacred mountain at all, they could only be anxious.

When Su Chen and his group arrived, the other martial artists from various sects and forces only glanced at them from a distance, then withdrew their gaze, without paying much attention.

Only one person was an exception.

"Yo yo yo, isn't this the Sky Fox Clan's son-in-law?"

"Why are you so pathetic after not seeing you for a few days?"

"Pfft! You two are really… a match made in heaven… Wahahaha!"

It was a young man wearing a purple-black robe, he stared at Xu Anning and Yi Lan, and suddenly couldn't help but burst into laughter!

He was followed by several young men and women, and some martial artists with profound and powerful auras.

At this time, Xu Anning's hand was held by Yi Lan, and in front of Yi Lan's tall and burly figure, the scene looked a bit humorous.

Hearing this, anger flashed in Xu Anning's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Xuan Dang! Mind your own business, it's not your place to interfere in my affairs!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you're so tough? It's really different with the Sky Fox Clan backing you."

"You used to be as cowardly as a turtle when you were in the Xuanming Palace…"

Xuan Dang shook his head and said in a strange tone.

"Heh, just a human hybrid, Xuan Dang, why bother with him?"

Beside Xuan Dang, a young man in black sneered.

"Young man, don't be presumptuous!"

Chen Lezhang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a powerful Quasi-Emperor aura erupted, sweeping towards the two!

Beside Xuan Dang, an old man suddenly stepped forward, and a powerful aura was also released from his body, blocking Chen Lezhang's Quasi-Emperor aura and canceling each other out.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen of the Sky Fox Clan, long time no see."

The old man glanced at Chen Lezhang and said slowly.

Chen Lezhang snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Chang, take care of the younger generation of your Xuanming Palace, don't let them lack the most basic etiquette and morals!"

"If they don't know how to respect people, I don't mind teaching them a lesson on behalf of the Xuanming Palace!"

Chen Lezhang's words made the old man's eyes narrow, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.

He wasn't afraid of Chen Lezhang's strength, but of the Sky Fox Clan.

After all, the current Sky Fox Clan is much stronger than the Xuanming Palace, and it's not a wise choice to anger the Sky Fox Clan.

Xuan Dang also understood this.

He snorted, didn't continue to mock Xu Anning, but said coldly, "Xu Anning, hand over the ancestral artifact you stole from the Xuanming Palace, and I can let you off."

"Otherwise… bear the consequences!"

Xu Anning was furious: "You're the one who stole it, your whole family stole it!"

"I obtained this openly and honestly, I obtained the approval of the ancestral artifact, the ancestral artifact chose me, what does it have to do with you?"

"The ancestors of the Xuanming Palace didn't stop me, when did it become your place, a junior, to question me?"

Seeing that a conflict and argument had broken out between the two sides, Qing Ling and the others were all curious.

Qing Ling whispered in Su Chen's ear, "Young Master, who are these people? Are they also from the Xuanming Palace?"

"Not entirely."

Su Chen replied, "The one named Xuan Dang is the true young master of the Xuanming Palace, representing the Xuan Turtle Clan, and is also Xu Anning's nemesis."

"The young man in black beside him is the young master of the Kun Fish Clan, named Ji Kun."

"In addition, there are some aquatic races from the Nether Sea, but their status is not as high as the Xuan Turtle Clan and the Kun Fish Clan, and their overall strength is roughly equivalent to the sacred grounds."
