#298 - Something's happened
Several hours later.
After numerous hardships, Su Chen and his party finally managed to leave this strange Dead Sea and return to land.
Chen Lezhang's face was pale, his body covered in cold sweat, completely drenched, and he was still shaken.
During their return, without the Celestial Human Clan's Quasi-Emperor holding back the two Emperor corpses in the sea, Su Chen and his group faced considerable trouble.
Even with Su Chen lending the Primordial Chaos Tower to Chen Lezhang, he was struck several times, coughing blood and appearing quite disheveled.
In the end, Su Chen had to use a portion of the power from the Central Heaven Northern Star Great Array to repel the Emperor corpses and escape the crisis.
Even Chen Lezhang, who had lived for thousands of years, had never experienced such a thrilling crisis.
After leaving this strange Dead Sea, Su Chen steered the Void Shuttle into the sky and quickly entered the spatial passage, returning to the Fourth Heaven.
At this time.
Some time had passed since the ancient Great Emperor's mausoleum had appeared.
Sect forces from several surrounding great provinces were alarmed and flocked to it.
The Fourth Heaven was filled with cultivators everywhere.
“I wonder if that opportunity has been taken away…”
Su Chen stroked his chin and immediately urged the Void Shuttle to advance at full speed.
Half an hour later.
A vast ancient city ruin appeared before everyone.
This city was extremely vast, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a kingdom, with a dazzling array of buildings, but most had collapsed into ruins.
When Su Chen and his group arrived, many cultivators were already exploring the ancient city.
Just then, one group of cultivators caught the attention of Su Chen and his party.
“Old Ancestor?!”
Qing Ling and Zi Xuan and others revealed surprised expressions.
That group of cultivators was actually from the Azure Profound Holy Land, led by Old Ancestor Wu Ling, and most of the people in the group were very familiar to Su Chen and the others.
This included Old Ancestor Wu Ling's disciple, Qiao Zhi, Great Elder Luo Ming of Martial Peak, and Martial Peak disciples Xue Yi, Jiang Ling'er, Xiang Ming, and others.
However.
When Su Chen and his group approached, their expressions changed, and a hint of anger appeared in their eyes!
Because Old Ancestor Wu Ling and his group were all injured, their clothes stained with blood, looking quite disheveled and their aura weak, as they frantically fled from the center of the ancient city.
The Void Shuttle quickly landed in front of Old Ancestor Wu Ling and the others.
“Su Chen?!”
When Old Ancestor Wu Ling and the others saw Su Chen and his group, they were both surprised and delighted!
“Old Ancestor, who injured you?”
Su Chen asked in a deep voice, a terrifying chill flashing in his eyes!
Old Ancestor Wu Ling and Luo Ming were among the few elders who had been kind to Su Chen, having helped him a lot.
Qiao Zhi, Xue Yi, and the others were also Su Chen's friends!
Now that they had been injured, Su Chen felt genuinely angered!
“This…”
However, Old Ancestor Wu Ling and the others hesitated upon hearing this, looking embarrassed.
“It's alright, we just had a small scuffle with someone.”
Old Ancestor Wu Ling shook his head and said in a low voice, “The opportunity in this ancient city has already been taken away, let's go look somewhere else.”
Qiao Zhi, Xue Yi, and the others clenched their fists, their faces filled with anger and frustration, but ultimately said nothing.
Seeing this, Su Chen immediately understood and said, “The other party is from an Emperor Lineage Dao Gate, right?”
Only an Emperor Lineage Dao Gate could make the hot-tempered Old Ancestor Wu Ling swallow his anger and not dare to provoke them, even if they suffered losses!
As soon as these words came out, Old Ancestor Wu Ling and the others were shocked, and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
Old Ancestor Wu Ling sighed and said, “That's right, we found an opportunity in the center of the ancient city, but it was snatched away, but they have already left.”
“Don't be too angry, after all, the opportunities and fortunes here are unowned, it's normal for there to be disputes, if you can't beat them, just let them have it, we didn't lose anything, there's no need to fight to the death with an Emperor Lineage Dao Gate…”
Qing Ling, Chen Lezhang, and the others had strange expressions upon hearing this.
Emperor Lineage Dao Gate?
With Su Chen's explosive temper, let alone an Emperor Lineage Dao Gate, even if a Great Emperor Realm expert came, they would probably get slapped twice.
“They definitely haven't left yet, the opportunities here aren't that easy to harvest.”
Su Chen shook his head and said, “Old Ancestor, tell me who the other party is, even if they are from an Emperor Lineage Dao Gate, I will make them pay the price!”
“In the past, it was you who protected me, now that I have the ability, I won't stand idly by and watch you be bullied!”
Su Chen's words shocked Old Ancestor Wu Ling and the others, and a warm current surged in their hearts.
Old Ancestor Wu Ling's gaze towards Su Chen was filled with more relief and warmth.
But he still shook his head and said, “I know you have our best interests at heart, but this really was just a small scuffle, there's really no need to continue fighting to the death with them, and… the other party has a Quasi-Emperor!”
Su Chen said expressionlessly, “A mere Quasi-Emperor, I'll kill him later.”
“Get in the car!”
Su Chen beckoned, asking Old Ancestor Wu Ling and the others to board the Void Shuttle.
“Don't be impulsive!”
“Junior Brother Su, calm down, the other party is the Heavenly Light Pavilion from Thunder Province, we can't afford to provoke them!”
“That's right, a moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up the sky…”
“Let's just endure it for now.”
Old Ancestor Wu Ling, Qiao Zhi, Xue Yi, and the others were immediately startled, and quickly grabbed Su Chen, afraid that Su Chen would really rush over and start a fight.
