Chapter 341: Seeking Humiliation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Asking for humiliation! ” someone looked at w.a.n.g Kun’s back and said contemptuously.
Shortly after w.a.n.g Kun turned around, an elder at rhe Quasi-Saint Realm in the crowd suddenly raised his head and gazed into the distant void. A smile appeared on his lips.
“He’s here!”
Hearing his words, everyone immediately followed the elder’s gaze. They understood the person they had been waiting for had finally arrived.
Boom!
The world shook. A golden divine light came from the distance. As it drew near, everyone saw it was a black jade qilin pulling a golden carriage. The curtains above fluttered as the Great Dao resonated around it, seven-colored divine light flickering.
It seemed one could vaguely make out a slender figure sitting within. The other party was shrouded in divine light, like a supreme immortal king on tour, causing everything in the world to lose its radiance.
At this moment, he slowly stood up and stepped out of the divine carriage. Once he emerged from the divine carriage, all of the w.a.n.g family’s youths held their breaths.
They had thought w.a.n.g Wenxuan was still peerless among the younger generation. Bur after seeing Su Chen today, only then did they realize even the w.a.n.g family’s pride, w.a.n.g Wenxuan, paled before Su Chen.
Behind Su Chen, a woman was enveloped in light. She wore a seven-colored mask and had a graceful figure of peerless beauty, like a G.o.ddess incarnate. The moment they saw her, countless people from the w.a.n.g family felt their hearts tremble and did not dare look at her directly. They all knew this person who looked like an ordinary mortal without any imposing aura was likely the saint king who had destroyed the Spirit Race. Such a figure was not one they could look straight at. Even a saint of the w.a.n.g family would have to lower his head before her.
“Esteemed guest, please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier!” An aged voice sounded from the sky.
Before they realized it, in front of Su Chen s divine carriage was an old man with white hair. He glanced at Su Chen and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Saint!”
Many people from the w.a.n.g family were shocked. As expected, the rumors within the w.a.n.g family were true. The w.a.n.gs had indeed arranged for a saint to come forward and welcome them. There was no other way! If Su Chen came alone, they would only need to send some elders and w.a.n.g Wenxuan. But it was different with a saint king accompanying Su Chen, so even the previously stepped-out w.a.n.g Wenxuan could only retract his footsteps awkwardly.
He understood that rhe moment the saint appeared, there was no place for him before Su Chen. The dignified successor of the w.a.n.g family’s next generation could only be relegated to a supporting role at this moment.
“I am Su Chen. Greetings, seniors and fellow Daoists!”
Su Chen smiled and cupped his hands at the w.a.n.gs. The others naturally did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly returned the greeting.
“Fellow Daoist, you are too polite. It’s only been a few years since we parted at the G.o.d Demon Sect. 1 didn’t expect you to have already reached this stage. It’s truly unprecedented!” An elder from the w.a.n.g family spoke up. He was w.a.n.g Yunzong, with a rueful expression.
When they first met, he had still addressed Su Chen as “young friend.” But today, he could only address him as Fellow Daoist Su Chen’.
In another ten-odd years when he saw Su Chen again, he dared not imagine how he should address him then.
In anyone’s eyes, Su Chen s potential was too astonishing. To cultivate to the Qua si-Saint Realm in such a short time, he might directly become a saint someday in the future. Once Su Chen became a saint, he would no longer just be described as “having the demeanor of a great emperor.”
Because at the Saint Realm, Su Chen would no longer be someone who could be killed as others wished. Barring accidents, his future would at minimum be a quasi-emperor! As for the highest stage…it was impossible to predict.
Right now, befriending Su Chen was the unanimous desire of the entire w.a.n.g family.
While Su Chen had yet to become a saint, they should build relations with him in advance. When he became an emperor one day, they might no longer be able to form ties.
“It’s been many years, but Elder w.a.n.g is still as elegant as ever,” Su Chen replied with a smile.
“I’m already old. I cannot be compared to a rising star like Fellow Daoist Su Chen.” w.a.n.g Yunzong laughed heartily, a smug look on his face.
Looking at the entire w.a.n.g family, there were few who could converse with Shi Chen like this. Unfortunately, he was one of them! With this connection, it could become something he was proud of in rhe future.
“This is not the place for conversation. Young Friend Su Chen, please follow me. My w.a.n.g family has long prepared a residence for you. 1 hope you will not find it inadequate.” At this moment, the w.a.n.g family’s saint spoke up.
“Thank you, Senior!” Su Chen nodded.
He crossed the void with the saint, flying into the w.a.n.g family grounds. They conversed casually along the way. However, the instant he entered the w.a.n.g family’s ancestral land, his expression shifted slightly as he looked down in surprise.
He saw that on rhe steps below, a thin young man was walking with difficulty, his steps stumbling. To others, he might seem ordinary. Bur now, in Su Chen’s eyes, the power of providence surrounding this person was no weaker than Qin Hao’s. Su Chen’s mouth curled up in a faint smile.
Another chosen one?
“Is this the Great Mystery Holy Son? He really has an extraordinary temperament!”
“Brother Su Chen’s strength has already reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. It will be difficult for him to fall in the future.”
“Perhaps in the future, another great emperor will appear in the East Barrens!”
“Now, ir just so happens that rhe dark creatures are invading. Do you think that in our era, under the leadership of a great emperor, we can counterattack the world of dark creatures?”
“That will depend on that great emperor’s strength.”
“What about Brother Su Chen?”
As Su Chen s figure disappeared into the w.a.n.g family’s ancestral grounds, the entire place erupted into an uproar. Excitement was written on every face as they endlessly discussed amongst themselves.
On the stairs before the w.a.n.g family’s mountain gate, only w.a.n.g Kun’s figure was lonely as he walked alone as if isolated from the world. No one greeted him. The Qi Sea Realm cultivation was still too low after all. The others either flew through the air or used flying treasures when traveling. He was the only one unable to fly, and could only climb the steps.
“I don’t know when I will be able to reach that step.”
w.a.n.g Kun raised his head and looked at Su Chen, who had left with the w.a.n.g family’s elders. A hint of envy appeared deep in his eyes. But it was soon replaced by despair.
He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, “Perhaps 1 won’t be able to reach Su Chen’s accomplishments today in my lifetime.”
After all, he was just a good-for-nothing in everyone’s eyes. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, the truth was right before him..
