“It seems the Golden Crow Clan and Su Chen have also had some unpleasantness!” At this moment, an elder of the Infinite Demon Sect spoke in a deep voice. From the expressions of these Golden Crow Clan members, it was apparent not only had there been friction with Su Chen, but they had suffered greatly at his hands.
After all, behind the Fourth Prince was a heavily wounded Golden Crow Clan elder. Without a doubt, this should be the result of Su Chen’s powerful attack. “Su Chen has gone too far!” Hearing this, the Fourth Prince looked to the people of the Inky Sea Island and the Infinite Demon Sect, saying angrily, “1 merely wanted vengeance for the fallen princes of our Golden Crow Clan. Yet for a piece of immortal gold, Su Chen deliberately obstructed us. If only that, it could be forgiven. But he even severely injured an elder of our clan! With such deep hatred, my Golden Crow Clan will definitely stand irreconcilable against Su Chen!”
“Immortal gold?” Accompanying the Fourth Prince’s words, the experts of the Inky Sea Island and the Infinite Demon Sect all changed expression. Now they could no longer remain composed.
Initially, they had a.s.sumed some minor friction over an auction item between the Golden Crow Clan and Su Chen. But unexpectedly, the cause of their bitter parting was immortal gold! The value of this item was astronomical. Even in ancient times, it could tempt great emperors. Saint Realm and Saint King Realm experts would fight desperately over it.
“Is what you just said true?” the Inky Sea Island Supreme Elder uttered in a deep voice. His head of blue hair emitted a terrifying aura, like a vast sea rippling in the void, unfathomable.
Beside him, the Infinite Demon Sect elders also looked tempted but did not inquire. The intentions of the Golden Crow Clan were quite straightforward. Anyone with a brain could see that the Golden Crow Clan was trying to use someone else as a tool for their own ends. But this mattered not at all to the Inky Sea Island and the Infinite Demon Sect. After all, they already harbored irreconcilable hatred against Su Chen. A bit more now would hardly be an issue. “Naturally!” the Fourth Prince hurriedly nodded, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes’ depths.
“In that case…” The Inky Sea Island and the Infinite Demon Sect elders exchanged a glance, smiling. “Then we have a common cause! We all want Su Chen gone, but to kill him requires many experts joining forces, or a Saint Realm power taking action. However, the commotion from a saint’s actions will be too great. It would be fine if Su Chen died, but if not, the consequences… Would be beyond what we could bear,” the Inky Sea Island Grand Elder finished. “But with dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses attacking together, arranged in some formations, killing Su Chen shouldn’t be difficult.” “Dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses?” A Golden Crow Clan elder frowned slightly at this, surveying their numbers. After a long pause, he spoke, “Where are we to find dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses?”
The total Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses present barely reached ten, not even twenty could be a.s.sembled. Earlier, Su Chen had consecutively slain five Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses at the G.o.d Demon Sect’s ruins. That scene remained vivid. Though only a year had pa.s.sed, Su Chen’s realm was now unshakably firm. No one dared guarantee dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses could jointly slay Su Chen. Most likely, he would crush them one by one.
“Haha…” The Inky Sea Island and the Infinite Demon Sect members laughed at the Golden Crow Clan elder’s words. The Inky Sea Island Grand Elder slowly intoned, “Our combined strength is naturally insufficient. But what if the Qin family and the Spirit Race join?”
At this, the Fourth Prince and his company’s eyes lit up. The Qin family… and the Spirit Race! Though they were the demons, they understood very well among mankind which faction was the strongest. The Spirit Race amounted to little in the world, but the Qin family was undoubtedly among the pinnacle powers, even in the Central Plains.
Of course, this was only on the surface. Some ancient forces and forbidden lands rarely appeared. These were termed hidden powers, with deeply solid foundations. Few could say what terrifying existences lurked within.
“It seems that what happened at the G.o.d Demon Sect’s ruins provoked even the Spirit Race and Qin family!” the Fourth Prince mused. Su Chen’s astonishing words then had sent shockwaves across the East Barrens.
The Qin family’s successor turned out to be an artificial prodigy! Who would believe it? His Longevity Immortal Body actually came from a cousin of the same clan, which was undoubtedly a stain on Qin Yuan and the Qin family. As long as Qin Hao lived, it would constantly remind all.
Qin Yuan’s glory was half Qin Hao’s. To kill Qin Hao meant crossing Su Chen first. “If the Spirit Race and the Qin family can really a.s.sist, Su Chen’s good days are numbered!” the Fourth Prince remarked smilingly.
“Su Chen’s radiance is excessive, he doesn’t know how to restrain himself, which is why this calamity has befallen him. Throughout history, there have been countless prodigies possessing the Crimson Flame Divine Body, but how many of them have truly grown and achieved greatness?” an Infinite Demon Sect elder spoke icily. This man, Tang Shui, was Elder Tang Huo’s younger brother. The two grew up together, later entering the Infinite Demon Sect. With Tang Huo’s fall, he had long awaited a chance at vengeance for his brother. Now, the opportunity was at hand.
The Infinite Demon Sect, the Inky Sea Island, the Golden Crow Clan, the Spirit Race, and the Qin family, five saint-level powers combined. Su Chen likely had no chance of survival.
“This isn’t the place for discussion. Let us depart first,” the Inky Sea Island Grand Elder uttered in a deep voice. “Fellow Daoists of the Spirit Race and the Qin family have already reached the Purple Clouds Holy Land. We must hasten as well.”
“Alright!” Tang Shui nodded. The group transformed into flowing light, shooting for the skies and quickly vanishing without a trace.
Two months flashed by in the blink of an eye. Outside the Purple Clouds Holy Land, a golden chariot slowly rolled through the void. At its fore, a purple figure stood with hands clasped behind his back. His fluttering hair and robes made him seem like a young immortal king coming to subjugate heaven and earth.
“The territory of the Purple Clouds Holy Land lies ahead!” Behind Su Chen, the Yin Yang Holy Son wore black and white robes, exuding an elegant temperament like a dandy.. He ponderingly watched Su Chen’s back, remarking, “Brother Su, I’m afraid this Prodigy Gathering is not so simple for you!”
