Chapter 371: Su Chen’s Revenge
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“What is it?” the Great Mystery Holy Lord asked in confusion.
“Dashang is colluding with the dark creatures. I want to invite all the powerful experts of the world to join together and destroy Dashang!” Su Chen said word by word.
Hearing this, the expressions of the Great Mystery Holy Lord and Elder Fan changed.
Destroy Dashang? Was the Supreme Elder’s revenge finally coming?
Very quickly, earthshaking news spread swiftly throughout the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. Like a hurricane, it swept across the entire East Barrens. Countless powerful cultivators used communication jade slips to inform each other.
Back then, when the Prodigy Gathering was held, the two quasi-emperors had already marked locations where many dark creatures had crossed over. Even news of dark creatures appearing at the Demon Slaying Altar had been discovered by the quasi-emperors. However, Dashang had somehow escaped the notice of both of them. If not for the Great Mystery Sacred Sect spreading the news today, all the forces would likely still be completely unaware.
Bang!
In the imperial palace of Dachu, the Dachu Emperor shattered the jade table beside him with a palm strike. With killing intent boiling from his body, he was like an awakened demon G.o.d, sending chills down the spines of those present. The Eldest Prince and others beside him didn’t even dare take a breath. In all these years, he had never seen his father so furious.
“I see,” the Dachu Emperor said coldly, looking at the jade slip in his hand. Everything he hadn’t understood before was now clear.
Ever since the border conflicts between Dashang and Dachu, the clashes between the two sides had grown increasingly intense, with both sending millions of troops. Yet Dachu was constantly being suppressed. Numerous Quasi-Saint Realm experts had perished, while Nirvana Realm and Spirit Sea Realm warriors were innumerable. He had a.s.sumed some new experts must have emerged in Dashang to explain this.
But now, it was apparent the reason wasn’t that Dashang had grown stronger, but that they had joined forces with the dark creatures! No wonder some of Dashang’s newly appeared n.o.bles were undefeated among their peers. For them to fight one against two, or one against three, was commonplace. It turned out they weren’t even human! But dark creatures!
Not only were dark creatures hard to kill, but another trait was their formidable strength relative to their cultivation level, easily defeating multiple human opponents. Only the exceptional among humans could match them. If not for the dark creatures’ slower cultivation speed, the outcome of a clash between the two sides long ago would have been difficult to predict.
“Father, there’s no need to be angry. Dashang’s hidden card has already been exposed by the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. I imagine countless powerful cultivators will soon move out to destroy Dashang,” the Eldest Prince said. “Moreover…this news was released in the name of Senior Su Chen.”
Su Chen, strictly speaking, was one generation junior to him. When Su Chen had just reached the G.o.d Altar Realm, he was already in the Nirvana realm. Later when Su Chen broke through to the Nirvana Realm, he was still there. Now Su Chen had become a saint, while he remained in the Nirvana Realm. This was rather awkward. The Eldest Prince no longer dared measure up to Su Chen. Not just him, but even his father, the Dachu Emperor, would likely have to treat Su Chen respectfully if they met.
“That’s right.” The Dachu Emperor nodded slightly, eyes flashing. “With Senior Su Chen making the call, I’m afraid many forces will be willing to come to a.s.sist, given the intricate web of backing behind him.”
At this, he gazed upward and solemnly said, “Next, 1’11 have to trouble Imperial Brother to personally lead troops into Dashang’s territory!”
“Is he sending Imperial Uncle to make a move?” The Eldest Prince was shocked when hearing this. In the entire Dachu, the mysterious North Vanquishing King must be the most talented! A century ago, the North Vanquishing King had already secretly become a saint, which was still top secret within Dachu.
Now, with various imperial lords and holy lords successively breaking through to become saints, the North Vanquishing King’s breakthrough had also emerged. For the Dachu Emperor today to dispatch the North Vanquishing King showed Dachu’s att.i.tude toward the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. After all, not just anyone would allow a Saint Realm expert to directly lead troops into Dashang’s territory after merely hearing this news, without any verification.
The army’s arrival represented the two sides were now completely at war, with no chance of turning back. At that point, it would be a fight to the death!
Previously, the fallen experts of both sides had still been limited to have Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation. However, with the North Vanquishing King taking action, it now concerned Saint Realm powerhouses… Both Dachu and Dashang would need to prepare for an all-out war.
In the w.a.n.g family.
Today was an auspicious day for them. Not long ago, the patriarch of the w.a.n.g family had successfully stepped into the Saint Realm. Although he only pa.s.sed four Saint Tribulations, he was nevertheless a Saint Realm powerhouse. Moreover, the number of heavenly tribulations could only slightly influence one’s strength, with little impact on the path ahead. It could be said that whether there was one or nine heavenly tribulations crossed, they still had the chance to become an emperor in the future. The only difference was, when crossing the tribulation to become an emperor in the future, a Ninth Tribulation Saint’s probability of success would be relatively higher.
The palace, which should have been filled with joy, instead had a strange atmosphere. The mood was heavy. Everyone present wore thoughtful expressions.
“What are your thoughts on the news sent out by the Great Mystery Holy Lord?” the w.a.n.g family patriarch asked, holding a jade slip in hand.
“I believe this matter is unlikely to be baseless. If they hadn’t been confident, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect wouldn’t have rashly released such news,” an elder said after pondering.
“Although this news came from the Great Mystery Holy Lord, it actually originated from Senior Su Chen. 1 think no matter what, our w.a.n.g family can’t just stand idly by,” w.a.n.g Yunzong spoke up. Su Chen had just visited them not long ago, leading to their w.a.n.g family gaining another Saint Realm powerhouse. They ought to lend a hand at this time, for both emotional and practical reasons.
“That’s right.” The w.a.n.g family patriarch nodded slightly in approval at w.a.n.g Yunzong, before slowly saying, “1 agree with Elder Yun. What do the rest of you think?”
“Um…” The elders looked at each other upon hearing this. The patriarch had already nodded, and it was too late now for them to say anything. Although it seemed the patriarch was asking for their opinions, he had already made a decision. Their words couldn’t decide anything substantial..
