Chapter 283: A Battle Involving Young Prodigies
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At the rear, the Qin family and representatives from the Golden Crow Clan, as well as various other sects from the Infinite Demon Sect, exchanged secretive glances.
The different factions immediately grasped the situation. In their gazes toward Su Chen, a touch of coldness emerged.
Engaging in a battle here was not what they wanted to witness.
However, if Su Chen and the Spirit Race Patriarch did clash, they wouldn’t mind launching a covert a.s.sault.
Several Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses preparing to strike simultaneously.
Caught off guard, even if Su Chen’s strength was astonishing, he would still sustain significant injuries.
Just as the atmosphere reached a freezing point, a slender figure dashed in from the outside.
His speed was remarkable, causing piercing sonic booms in his wake.
Before his voice could even reach the ground, he had already arrived in the main hall.
“Would you two do me the favor of sparing face for my Purple Clouds Holy Land? Shall we conclude today’s matter right here?”
In the arena, a man dressed in a black robe appeared.
His entire body exuded a terrifying aura, akin to a mountain, standing between the Spirit Race Patriarch and Su Chen.
“The Purple Clouds Holy Lord!”
Someone gazed at the man in the arena with a serious expression.
Upon seeing his arrival, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the Purple Clouds Holy Lord might not be able to completely control Su Chen and the Spirit Race Patriarch, he represented the Purple Clouds Holy Land!
As long as he was willing, he could summon the saints of their Purple Clouds Holy Land!
Now, he stood here, signifying that the conflict had been suppressed.
Although some felt greatly disappointed, many were relieved.
Because…
If this battle were to truly erupt, it wouldn’t merely involve a single faction.
After all, behind Su Chen stood numerous holy land forces and the Dasui Empire.
They had long prepared to take action at any moment.
It could be foreseen that once both sides initiated the battle, the entire Purple Clouds Holy Land might crumble.
By then, today’s Prodigy Gathering would become a complete farce.
“The dark creatures have already arrived. At such a time, any losses are losses for the East Barrens. If there are grievances that cannot be resolved, why don’t we wait until we’ve eliminated the dark creatures before settling our disputes?”
The Purple Clouds Holy Lord spoke solemnly. Other experts chimed in as well.
At this moment, most people still did not wish to witness this battle.
After all, Su Chen and the Spirit Race Patriarch were powerful figures among their human race.
Furthermore, both factions had complex backgrounds.
If they truly fought, it would be detrimental to their human race.
Meanwhile, the Demon Race might even gain an advantage.
“Since the Holy Lord has spoken, 1 shall temporarily leave your head intact for a few days. If 1 have the opportunity in the future, I will come to collect it!”
Su Chen calmly stated. He did not press further.
If he advanced further today, the figure who would appear next would not be as simple as the Purple Clouds Holy Lord.
It was highly likely that a Saint Realm expert would emerge.
In that case, regardless of whether it was himself or the Purple Clouds Holy Land, neither side would be embarra.s.sed.
“I will await your arrival!”
The Spirit Race Patriarch spoke with a cold tone.
As the commotion was about to subside, the onlookers secretly breathed sighs of relief.
The Purple Clouds Holy Lord also wore a relaxed expression.
Subsequently, he arranged for his disciples to provide accommodations for the experts from various forces.
Just as he was making these arrangements, a core disciple of the Purple Clouds Holy Land suddenly rushed into the main hall and shouted, “Holy Lord! Holy Lord, something terrible has occurred. Someone has taken action at the banquet!”
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, the Purple Clouds Holy Lord immediately felt a headache.
For this Prodigy Gathering, they set up two banquets in total.
Apart from the older generation, there was another area prepared for the group of young prodigies.
The disturbance here had only just subsided, but who would have expected trouble to break out there?
“Who is responsible?” the Purple Clouds Holy Lord inquired with a gloomy expression.
He wasn’t particularly patient when it came to the younger generation.
After all, those people were merely juniors.
“Uh…” Upon hearing this, the core disciple of the Purple Clouds Holy Land secretly glanced at the Qin family and many other prominent factions in the hall.
Afterward, his gaze lingered on Su Chen for a moment before ultimately settling on the Purple Clouds Holy Lord.
Sensing his disciple’s gaze, the Purple Clouds Holy Lord’s heart sank.
Could it be that their Holy Land had also partic.i.p.ated?
In that case… Their Purple Clouds Holy Land would lose a great deal of face!
As the hosts, fighting with a foreign guest, if outsiders were to witness it, they would undoubtedly find it laughable!
“It was Qin Yu from the Qin family, Ling Ling from the Spirit Race, the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, the Yin Yang Holy Son, the newly appointed Holy Son of the Infinite Demon Sect, the Prince of the Dashang Empire, Huo Xi, and others…”
The core disciple of the Purple Clouds Holy Land nervously reported.
With each name he mentioned, the expressions of everyone present became more intriguing.
By the end, almost everyone’s expression had become exceedingly odd.
“In that case, nearly 30% of the young prodigies have engaged in combat?”
Someone remarked with a strange expression.
It was difficult to fathom.
What could possibly provoke so many young prodigies to disregard the feelings of the Purple Clouds Holy Land and directly engage in a brawl?
After all, they had never heard of any insurmountable grudges among this group of prodigies!
“I heard it was because of a piece of immortal gold!”
The core disciple of the Purple Clouds Holy Land hurriedly added.
As soon as he mentioned this, many present frowned slightly, sensing an impending ominous feeling.
At the same time, they surrept.i.tiously glanced at Su Chen.
Not too long ago, there had been rumors that Su Chen was willing to become enemies with the Golden Crow Clan for a piece of immortal gold and a crippled body.
Now, news of immortal gold had emerged here…
Could it be that Su Chen had also brought that crippled body to the Purple Clouds Holy Land?
Thinking of this, everyone’s gazes turned strange.
“Excuse me, everyone!”
The Purple Clouds Holy Lord hastily spoke.
The actions of the younger generation were different from those of the older generation.
The most powerful among them had only reached the Nirvana Realm, so it was difficult for them to break the protective formation in the hall.
Although he was astonished that so many prodigies had attacked together, he wasn’t overly impatient.
However, just as he finished speaking…
Boom!
A terrifying, earth-shaking sound echoed.
The distant mountain peaks began to tremble.
A terrifying shockwave surged out, and its fearsome might swept across dozens of miles.
Inside a grand hall at the peak of a mountain, a figure covered in blood was sent flying.
“That is… The Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan?”
Someone shouted in astonishment.
The Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan was no ordinary person.
He ranked fourth among the ten princes of the Golden Crow Clan.
This was enough to prove his strength.
He had reached the peak stage of the Nirvana Stage a long time ago.
In a sense, he could be considered one of the top prodigies under Su Chen.
In a few more years, perhaps he would step into the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Logically speaking, for an existence like him, he wouldn’t be invincible at the same level, but at the very least, he wouldn’t be sent flying by others.
But now, it was quite the opposite.
He was covered in blood, disheveled, and clearly on the verge of being forced into a desperate situation..
