#572 - Dilemma
Su Chen's mind stirred, and he released Long Xi from the Heavenly Yang Divine Light Bell. She transformed into a palm-sized silver dragon, circling around him.
“This is…”
Old Demon Black Mountain's heart jolted. His gaze landed on Long Xi, and he actually sensed a terrifying power that even made his heart palpitate!
“This is a beast pet I obtained by chance, named Long Xi, with a cultivation of the third level of the Heavenly God Realm.”
Su Chen explained, as he didn't plan to keep it a secret from Old Demon Black Mountain forever.
“Third level of the Heavenly God Realm!?”
“A beast pet!?”
Old Demon Black Mountain felt as if he was going to go insane upon hearing this, and his heart trembled violently.
Listen to what he's saying, is this human language?
How rare and scarce are Heavenly God Realm experts? Any Heavenly God is a hegemon, with extremely high status and position.
Moreover, Long Xi is in the form of a Flood Dragon, with extraordinary bloodline.
She's actually just Su Chen's beast pet?!
Su Chen is clearly only at the True God Realm!
Old Demon Black Mountain's eyes were full of amazement, and he felt that Su Chen was even more mysterious and unpredictable.
He didn't believe that Su Chen, with his mere True God Realm cultivation, could subdue a Heavenly God Realm beast pet on his own.
There's only one truth: this Heavenly God Realm beast pet was bestowed upon him by the old ancestor of Su Chen's sect!
No wonder the Spirit Race's old ancestor is so polite to Su Chen…
Boom!!
At this moment, a shocking loud noise came from the depths of the ruins, the earth trembled, runes filled the sky, and divine light was awe-inspiring.
Upon seeing this, Su Chen and his group immediately rushed towards the source of the loud noise.
Under the protection of Old Demon Black Mountain and Long Xi, Su Chen and his group avoided the numerous remnant formations and restrictions in the ruins, and after half an hour, they went deep into the ruins.
However, Su Chen saw an unexpected figure!
This was a broken square, the ground was full of cracks, the formation patterns were destroyed, and the runes were dim.
Gu Ruoxi and dozens of Spirit Race members were in the middle of the square, surrounding a burly middle-aged man, who looked somewhat similar to Gu Ruoxi. It was Gu Qinghan.
In front of Gu Qinghan were actually Gu Changsheng and Yue Chan, as well as a blonde woman!
“It's you!?”
Gu Changsheng and Yue Chan also saw Su Chen and his group, and their eyes immediately turned cold, with terrifying killing intent rising into the sky!
“Young Master Su… Huh?”
After seeing Su Chen and his group, a look of surprise appeared on Gu Ruoxi's face, but her expression quickly stiffened as she noticed the terrifying killing intent of Gu Changsheng and Yue Chan.
“What are you doing…”
Before Gu Ruoxi could ask, Gu Changsheng let out a stern shout, drew a golden ancient sword, and slashed towards Su Chen like lightning!
“Go to hell!!”
Yue Chan's expression was also icy and bone-chilling. She stomped her foot, and faint chaotic light surrounded her body. Her aura was powerful, and she also slashed towards Su Chen with a sword!
After two months of separation, Gu Changsheng had actually broken through to the seventh level of the True God Realm, and Yue Chan had also broken through to the fifth level of the True God Realm, making great progress.
This was still under the circumstances that Su Chen had preemptively intercepted Gu Changsheng's most important early opportunities!
This made Su Chen couldn't help but secretly marvel. As expected of the Child of Destiny, even after having so many opportunities intercepted by him, he could still grow to this point. It was simply unreasonable.
Fortunately, I'm more skilled…
Clang—
The Tianyuan in Su Chen's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, accompanied by the blooming of lightning, and the blazing saber light shone like a bolt of lightning, illuminating the void!
Su Chen's saber was as destructive as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. It cut off the sword energy released by Gu Changsheng and Yue Chan. The terrifying saber light even sent both of them flying, coughing up blood, with a bloody wound on their bodies.
“Peak of the ninth level of the True God Realm!?”
Gu Changsheng's face was somewhat distorted, and he could hardly believe his eyes!
Only two months had passed, how could Su Chen have become so strong!?
Two months ago, Gu Changsheng could still fight Su Chen for three hundred rounds, and only lost after a fierce battle.
But now, he and Yue Chan joined forces, but were actually seriously injured by Su Chen with a casual slash!
The two sides were no longer on the same level at all!
Such a huge gap made it difficult for Gu Changsheng to accept, and his invincible belief was somewhat shaken.
Chī!
At this moment, a dazzling golden light lit up, accompanied by the eruption of terrifying magic power at the Heavenly God Realm level, surging and turbulent, and the killing intent shook all directions!
The blonde woman beside Gu Changsheng made her move, holding a golden war spear, shining brightly, and attacking Su Chen horizontally!
Old Demon Black Mountain and Long Xi both snorted coldly, immediately activated the magic weapons in their hands, and joined forces to block the blonde woman's attack.
“Stop, stop fighting, don't fight!”
Gu Ruoxi and Gu Qinghan and others also came back to their senses at this time, and rushed over quickly, standing between Su Chen and Gu Changsheng, preventing the conflict and battle between the two sides.
“Miss Gu, do you know them?”
Su Chen looked at Gu Ruoxi, his brows slightly furrowed.
In the original plot, Gu Changsheng would not have appeared here, and had nothing to do with the Spirit Race.
But now Gu Changsheng has appeared!
Obviously, Su Chen's interception of Gu Changsheng's opportunities along the way changed the original plot, leading to changes in the subsequent plot as well.
“That's right, three and a half days ago, my clansmen and I accidentally triggered a killing formation and were trapped here.”
Gu Qinghan said: “This killing formation is very terrifying. I struggled to support it, but the situation became more and more critical, and it was in danger… Just two and a half days ago, this Young Master Gu and Fellow Daoist Bai appeared. They joined forces to break the formation and saved my life and the lives of my clansmen.”
“After that, we joined forces with Young Master Gu and the others to continue exploring these ruins.”
Speaking of this, Gu Qinghan looked at Su Chen, then looked at Gu Changsheng and the other two, and said with a wry smile: “Young Master Su, Young Master Gu, I don't know what grievances you have between you, but you are both benefactors and honored guests of my Spirit Race. Please be calm and value harmony, value harmony…”
Su Chen understood the general idea upon hearing this.
After leaving the Canglan Sea, Gu Changsheng and Yue Chan, due to their luck, met the blonde woman, a noble person, and then moved towards the center of the God Realm all the way. By chance, they discovered these ruins and saved Gu Qinghan.
It seems that the Heavenly Dao of this world will also correct the plot. After Su Chen preemptively intercepted Gu Changsheng's opportunities, the Heavenly Dao will still chase after him to feed him, allowing Gu Changsheng to obtain other opportunities!
“Senior Gu, please don't say any more, I can't coexist with this person!”
“Either I die, or he dies!”
Gu Changsheng didn't give Gu Qinghan any face at all, and said coldly: “You Spirit Race choose yourselves, whether you want to be friends with me, Gu Changsheng, or you want to be friends with him, Su Chen!”
“I'll put my words here, no matter who it is, being friends with him is my enemy, Gu Changsheng, and I will kill him sooner or later!”
As soon as these words came out, Gu Qinghan and Gu Ruoxi and others were immediately dumbfounded, and did not expect that there would be such a big hatred between Gu Changsheng and Su Chen.
For a time, Gu Qinghan was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, Gu Changsheng and the others saved him and were his life-saving benefactors.
But on the other hand, Su Chen and his party were friends of Gu Ruoxi and also saved Gu Ruoxi's life, and helped Gu Ruoxi and the others safely return to the depths of the God Burial Plateau, and helped the Spirit Race obtain many opportunities, and also had kindness to the Spirit Race.
He didn't want to offend either side.
