Chapter 218: Long Time No See

“He has actually reached this point unknowingly…”
Ye Ruxue muttered in surprise.
She didn’t think too much when she heard Jiang Chen slandering Su Chen, and attacked him immediately. Before attacking, she had already prepared herself to face off against Jiang Chen.
However…
What she didn’t expect was that so many people would be willing to help her after she made her move. These people didn’t choose to help her out of respect for her.
Although she was very powerful in her previous life, that was only in her previous life. In this life, she was still a nameless cultivator. The reason why these prodigies chose to help was entirely because of Su Chen’s influence.
“The last few times we met, it was always you who helped me. This time, I can also help you regain your reputation!”
Ye Ruxue thought to herself.
After saying that, she walked forward lightly.
However…
She had only taken a few steps when a dazzling golden light descended swiftly from the sky. When the golden light dissipated, a golden chariot appeared.
Inside, one by one, youths with powerful auras walked down from above.
The weakest among them was at the Spirit Sea Realm. And the strongest had already reached the Nirvana Realm! The one at Nirvana Realm was none other than Su Chen!
He wore a purple robe, his black hair hanging loose. His pitch-black eyes shone like stars. His entire body was like crystal jade, surrounded by endless divine light. The moment he appeared, he became the center of this world. Just by standing there casually, he seemed to have suppressed the entire world, causing the wilderness to lose its brilliance.
“Is this the Great Mystery Holy Son?”
A prodigy looked at the purple figure and muttered softly. He was the Holy Son of the Yin Yang Holy Land and had arrived here long ago. At this moment, he sized up Su Chen. But soon, he looked away.
It had to be said that Su Chen was truly powerful, the rumors weren’t false. Even though he was the Holy Son of Yin Yang Holy Land, the moment he saw Su Chen, he couldn’t help but feel inferior.
“Brother Su, the Great Mystery Holy Land is so close to here, but you arrived a little late!”
The prince of the Dachu Empire looked up at Su Chen. The solemn expression on his face disappeared, replaced by a smile as he spoke.
In the past, he used to address Su Chen as Fellow Daoist Su. But now that Su Chen had reached this point, his address had unknowingly changed to “Brother Su.”
Although he was older than Su Chen, it was unimportant. After all, in the cultivation world, the capable ones were always considered first. If Su Chen was a terrifying Saint Realm powerhouse… No matter how young Su Chen was, everyone present would have to respectfully address him as Senior.
“Greetings, Benefactor!”
Yang Kai stood in the void and cupped his fists towards Su Chen. His expression was different from the Eldest Prince’s. There was a hint of restraint in his excitement.
If not for Su Chen’s intervention in the imperial city of Dashang, he would have been severely injured on the spot.
Moreover…
After saving him, Su Chen had even given him some healing pills, Although not expensive, they were more worth than gold to Yang Kai. It was because of Su Chen’s help that Yang Kai was determined to cultivate both two systems. Although he had only overcome eight Nirvana Tribulations in the Confucian Way, counting his normal cultivation system’s strength, he believed almost no one at the same level could threaten him.
After Yang Kai, the Heavenly Heart Holy Son and others also greeted Su Chen. The last time he met the Heavenly Heart Holy Son, things were a little awkward. But now the Heavenly Heart Holy Son took the initiative to be friendly. Su Chen had no reason to dwell on past dramas. After all, having one more friend was better than having one more enemy.
After exchanging pleasantries, Su Chen’s gaze swept past everyone present and landed on the figure enveloped in divine light not far away.
Seeing this mysterious person, Su Chen revealed a rare smile.
“Long time no see. It seems your cultivation level hasn’t dropped much!”
Su Chen smiled as he sized up the mysterious figure.
“It’s only been a short year, not very long, is it?” Ye Ruxue said. Her voice was very clear and pleasant.
The moment she spoke, the divine light around her slowly faded. Immediately after, a beautiful figure appeared, stunning the world.
She was like a fairy descended from heaven, her black hair cascading over her shoulders. A delicate and fair face bore a gentle smile, while her ethereal pale blue eyes sparkled with life. Her figure was elegantly slender, and every inch of her skin seemed to emit a faint white glow. Her snow-white dress swayed in the wind without any dust.
When she looked at Su Chen, she revealed a shallow smile. At that moment, the heavens and earth dimmed, and all things lost their color.
“That… It’s… It’s a woman?”
The Ninth Princess stared at Ye Ruxue in the distance, stunned for a long time. She had long guessed Ye Ruxue’s relationship with Su Chen wasn’t simple. After all, Ye Ruxue dared to help Su Chen publicly. Now seeing the other’s ident.i.ty, her imagination ran wild.
Apart from the Ninth Princess, the others also reacted differently seeing this. Especially Mu Qingxue who could compete with Ye Ruxue’s beauty. When she saw Ye Ruxue talking with Su Chen, her brows furrowed slightly, and her expression clouded.
Jiang Chen was no exception. He frowned, guessing about the relationship between Ye Ruxue and Su Chen. Before Su Chen arrived, he could say whatever he wanted. But things were different now Su Chen was here. After all, Su Chen’s battle records spoke for themselves. He didn’t want to personally verify Su Chen’s true strength.
The G.o.d Demon Sect would open soon. If he were to engage in a battle with someone of the same level here, no matter how one looked at it, it would be a choice that was not worth the loss. However, thinking of how he was just ambushed in front of so many prodigies, he couldn’t swallow this humiliation. “Did you just engage in a fight with someone?”
Su Chen took a step forward and gently stroked her temple, a fragrance wafting in the air.
“Mm.”
Feeling the warmth emanating from Su Chen’s hand on her temple, Ye Ruxue did not dodge. Her pretty face flushed slightly as she nodded lightly, her voice soft as a mosquito’s.
“Someone was slandering your reputation just now. I taught him a lesson…”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Su Chen’s brows furrowed, and a hint of amus.e.m.e.nt flashed in his jet-black eyes.
At the same time, a sense of suppressed anger emanated from him as he spoke in a deep voice, “Who is it?”
“The Infinite Demon Sect, Jiang Chen!”
Ye Ruxue’s red lips parted slightly, her voice as soft as an orchid’s fragrance.
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it sounded like thunder in everyone’s ears. Jiang Chen’s expression darkened rapidly. After Su Chen arrived, he laid low and didn’t dwell on what just happened. However, he didn’t expect Ye Ruxue to drag him into it immediately. According to Su Chen’s previous style of doing things, it was impossible to resolve the situation amicably.
After all, just half a year ago, an entire sect was destroyed by Su Chen for oppressing a core disciple of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect.
Now he had spoken ill of Su Chen behind his back. How could Su Chen let him off?
“Jiang Chen?”
Hearing this, Su Chen carefully recalled.
“The Holy Son of the Infinite Demon Sect…”
On his way here, he had already learned about all the prodigies who came this time. After becoming the Great Mystery Holy Son, meeting prodigies of the same level when going out was inevitable. Thus he naturally had to understand the prodigies of each sect, especially top figures like the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens.
The Infinite Demon Sect was an ancient power with deep foundations and a long history.
Naturally, Su Chen wanted to know more about it. Especially its Holy Son, whom Su Chen was very clear about..
