Chapter 143: Sealing the Heavens and Earth

“Is this the blessing of great providence?”
Su Chen muttered softly as he felt the subtle changes in his body.
Providence was something that could not be seen or touched, yet it would influence a person in imperceptible ways.
“I hope that this so-called great providence will be useful in this trip to Qingzhou.”
Su Chen stood up and walked outside the cabin. He stood against the wind and said in a low voice.
The strong wind blew his robe, causing them to flutter noisily.
Su Chen’s pitch-black eyes looked ahead.
At this moment, they were less than a thousand miles away from Qingzhou. According to the speed of the Cloud Piercing Shuttle, they would reach Qingzhou in less than an hour.
“Your cultivation ended?”
At this moment, a sonorous voice reached Su Chen’s ears.
Then Elder Chen appeared beside Su Chen and looked at him with a smile.
“Yes, it just ended…”
Su Chen gently nodded and said.
He was not surprised by Elder Chen’s sudden appearance.
“Qingzhou lies ahead. I saw that at the border between Qingzhou and Dachue, there are already powerful n.o.bles from the Dashang Empire sealing the heavens and earth there.”
Elder Chen said with a solemn expression.
“Oh? They moved so quickly?”
Su Chen asked in surprise.
But very soon, he understood the crux of it.
It had already been over a month since he left Tianyang City for this place.
During this period of time, it was impossible for Dashang to not make any moves.
It was also reasonable for them to send people to seal off the pa.s.sage between Qingzhou and the Dachu Empire.
If Fahui escaped into the Dachu Empire, they would not be able to attack casually.
Dachu would never allow the experts of the Dashang Empire to casually enter their territory to search.
If Fahui was captured by the people of Dashang, they wouldn’t even be able to find a place to cry.
“Then can we still enter Qingzhou?”
Su Chen suddenly thought of something important and asked curiously.
“Of course.”
Elder Chen nodded with a smile and continued, “No matter how tyrannical the Dashang Empire is, it’s impossible for them to completely prevent anyone from entering. After all, Qingzhou isn’t their Dashang’s territory.”
Su Chen nodded slightly upon hearing this.
A moment later, Su Chen looked into the distance, at the distorted void in front of him. Dazzling characters floated in the void.
The entire sky was covered by an invisible light screen.
This was a great divine power!
At the very least, it had to be a heaven-level upper-rank divine power to stop everyone from leaving Qingzhou.
Beneath the light screen, two terrifying figures stood.
Each of them had an aura as vast as the sea, unfathomable.
If nothing unexpected happened, these two were the powerful n.o.bles of Dashang that Elder Chen had mentioned!
“Oh, right. Before entering Qingzhou, I have another piece of news to tell you.”
Elder Chen seemed to have thought of something and said with a solemn expression, “I saw that you were cultivating earlier, so 1 didn’t disturb you. Now that you’re awake, it’s time to tell you this news.”
“What news?”
Su Chen asked in confusion.
“About five thousand miles behind us, there are three Everlasting Sect experts chasing us.”
Elder Chen said.
“They are finally here, huh?”
Su Chen wasn’t surprised at all when he heard this.
Back in the Hundred Demon Battlefield, he had already expected this day would come.
In the beginning, he thought that he would be intercepted by the Everlasting Sect on his way back to the Great Mystery Sect.
However, he didn’t expect that the Everlasting Sect would actually drag things out until today.
If it was a month ago, he might still feel worried.
But now, he was not worried at all.
After all, at this moment, he was already a warrior at the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Buzz…
Suddenly.
The Cloud Piercing Shuttle under his feet hummed.
Immediately after, the Cloud Piercing Shuttle turned into a stream of light and vanished into Su Chen’s palm.
“What are you doing?”
Elder Chen frowned slightly and looked at Su Chen in confusion.
Su Chen putting away the Cloud Piercing Shuttle at this time obviously meant he intended to wait here for the Everlasting Sect’s three elders to come.
But the problem was…
Wasn’t this a little too risky?
“Just as Elder said, the situation in Qingzhou is extremely complicated. There are countless experts hidden inside. In addition, the people of the Dashang Empire are chasing after Fahui… It’s not a good thing if we get entangled by the three Spirit Sea Realm warriors of the Everlasting Sect in Qingzhou!”
Su Chen explained when he saw Elder Chen’s puzzled expression.
“While that may be so, to fight against them here… Are you confident?”
Elder Chen asked solemnly.
He knew that Su Chen had a Spirit Sea Realm puppet.
However, a puppet was a puppet after all, lacking autonomous consciousness and only able to a.s.sist them in entangling one person.
Even if it took action, it could only help in engaging one of them.
Calculating it out, Su Chen still needed to face a Spirit Sea Realm expert himself.
However, he was still worried about Su Chen.
After all, Su Chen had just broken through to the initial stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. He was worried that Su Chen would not be a match for such a veteran Spirit Sea Realm expert.
Unless…
Thinking of this, Elder Chen glanced at the two Spirit Sea Realm experts from Dashang.
Unless these two powerful n.o.bles of Dashang were willing to make a move!
If these two people were to help, today’s matter could be easily resolved.
However, the biggest problem now was…
The two of them were the n.o.bles of Dashang.
If they rashly entered the Dachu Empire’s territory to make a move, they would probably leave a handle for the Dachu Empire.
In the short term, it might not matter much.
But in the long term, once Dachu wanted to start a war, they could bring up today’s matter for justification.
Unless those two experts of Dashang had mental issues, they would not brazenly enter Dachu’s territory to randomly attack.
Most importantly…
The mission of these two here today was to prevent Fahui from escaping into the Dachu Empire from Qingzhou.
What if Fahui escaped because of their negligence today?
Then these two wouldn’t have to return at all.
According to the situation, Elder Chen felt that the current situation was not very optimistic for him and Su Chen.
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Chen with a serious expression and secretly made up his mind.
If things went awry, he would immediately flee with Su Chen!
With his strength at the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, if he wanted to run away, the three from the Everlasting Sect might not be able to stop him and Su Chen.
“Elder, you can rest a.s.sured. Since I dare to stay here, 1 must have absolute confidence!”
Su Chen said confidently.
“Good! That’s good. Then 1 can rest easy now.”
Hearing Su Chen’s reply, Elder Chen heaved a sigh of relief..
