Chapter 931 – Fire, Wind and Thunder Tribulation
Long Chen was not surprised that Song Yang had come looking for him. A few days had passed, and they had confirmed that Huang Qiong was missing. Long Chen was probably the only person who was in disagreement with him recently.
This was the Underworld Plaza, so there were likely many high-status people cultivating Underworld Qi here. Therefore, even the Divine Martial Realm Song Yang did not dare cause a huge commotion here.
Song Yang was like Ye Xuan; both of them were at the Divine Martial Realm.
After listening to Ye Xuan’s previous explanation, Long Chen now viewed the Divine Martial Realm differently. Long Chen estimated that even though he had the Yin-Yang Sword Soul, the Dragon Soul Transformation, and the Five Emperor Palm, he still could not beat a Divine Martial Realm expert.
He could usually defeat opponents beyond his own cultivation level, but that was likely going to stop at the Ninth Heavenly Martial Stage.
After Song Yang arrived next to Long Chen, he said, “Follow me out of here.” Then he walked away.
Long Chen was not idiotic enough to admit that he had killed Huang Qiong. He stood up and followed Song Yang with a dark expression. He never had a good relationship with Song Yang anyway, so this was the normal way to behave.
When Ye Xuan saw Long Chen stand up, he followed suit.
Song Yang initially wanted to take Long Chen back and announce his crime, but when he saw Ye Xuan following them, he knew that wouldn’t be possible. Long Chen had been spending a lot of time with Ye Xuan recently, and everyone knew that this brat who came out of nowhere seemed to have a great relationship with the ultimate prodigy.
After they arrived in a place with no one around, Long Chen stopped walking. “What’s the matter?”
Song Yang turned around and asked, “Did you kill Huang Qiong?” His eyes were as deep as lakes. He radiated an aura that seemed to hide the power of star clusters, and it hit Long Chen in the face. This was the aura of a Divine Martial Realm expert.
To them, the Divine Martial Realm was the peak of the Martial Path.
Long Chen was indeed shaken by it. He took a step backwards, though mentally, he did not back down. He looked up with a hint of a smile and said, “Huang Qiong is dead? That’s great news.”
“I’m asking you if you killed him!” Song Yang placed more emphasis on his words.
“Him being dead doesn’t automatically mean that I killed him. Huang Qiong is a Hundred-Sergeant, and we did fight once. Everyone knows who won after that. Ten of me would be no match for him. You guys didn’t see who killed him, so that person must be a Divine Martial Realm expert. Thousand-Sergeant, do I look like a Divine Martial Realm expert to you?” Long Chen said mockingly, unwilling to continue arguing with him.
“You!”
Song Yang thought about it. What Long Chen had said made sense.
Then Ye Xuan spoke up. He said, “Long Chen has been with me for days; he was sitting right next to me. Huang Qiong came looking for him once, and he went back with him, but Long Chen came back soon after. After that, he never left again. I don’t think that person’s death is related to him. I wonder if you’ll believe me, Thousand-Sergeant Song Yang?”
Ye Xuan was someone whom General Su Mo did not dare offend. He was the youngest brother of the strongest person in Underworld City, so obviously Song Yang did not dare cross him either.
If Ye Xuan was willing to speak up, it did not matter if it was true. If Song Yang continued to harass them, it would be a death wish. He nodded very sincerely to Ye Xuan and said, “Young Master Ye, of course I believe what you say. I won’t disturb your cultivation! Farewell!”
Then he shrugged his sleeve and left.
“Let’s go back. I am still competing against you.” Ye Xuan smiled.
“Thank you.”
“Congratulations. You can go to the Underworld Battlefield before me,” said Long Chen, also standing up.
“I’ll wait for you in the Underworld Battlefield,” Ye Xuan said with a grin, patting Long Chen’s shoulder.
Long Chen suddenly recalled the assassination attempt on Ye Xuan. Who in Underworld City would be bold enough to assassinate him? There were countless experts in the Underworld Battlefield. Would that person who failed to kill Ye Xuan look for him in the Underworld Battlefield, a place where violence was everywhere?
It would be even harder for him to stay on guard there.
Suddenly, Long Chen sensed a strong wave of aura arriving.
A group of people were walking into the Underworld Plaza.
“Greetings, General!”
Everyone who was cultivating also sensed the aura and quickly fell on one knee. Long Chen was sensitive enough to know who it was. When he was in the presence of a master who had cultivated for more than a thousand years, Long Chen revered him. Kneeling for him was a show of this reverence.
The person who had arrived was someone he had met before. It was the general of the Underworld Army in Underworld City, and he had five hundred thousand soldiers under him—General Su Mo!
Su Mo was wearing long, black robes and his long hair fell behind him messily. He was smiling, and he was walking barefoot midair in Ye Xuan’s direction. Although he did not radiate any aura, Long Chen still felt like this man was terrifying. It was as if he had merged with the whole world. Without using the Soul Swallowing Gaze, it would be difficult to know that this person was in front of him even if Long Chen used his eyes.
This was a Fourth Divine Martial Stage expert.
Behind Su Mo were five Third Divine Martial Stage Admirals. Next, there were ten-plus experts who were mostly Ten Thousand-Sergeants.
The only person who did not salute him was Ye Xuan.
When Su Mo came, his eyes were on Ye Xuan. Someone like Long Chen was naturally ignored. Su Mo stopped in front of Ye Xuan with a strange light in his eyes. He said warmly, “I heard you took eighty-three days to cultivate the Underworld Qi?”
“Apologies for breaking your record,” said Ye Xuan with a cold grin.
Su Mo did not take Ye Xuan’s childish jab to heart. He smiled generously and said, “The Underworld Battlefield has dangers that I cannot control. I’ll send two Admirals to accompany you there, as per your sister’s request. What do you think?”
“There’s no need. If I need people to protect me, what’s the point of going to the Underworld Battlefield? You may leave.” Ye Xuan waved, implying to shoo him away.
The Ten Thousand-Sergeants and Admirals behind Su Mo frowned at Ye Xuan’s straightforwardness.
All of them were important people who could make the world tremble. Su Mo had been famous for thousands of years and did as he wished everywhere he went. His reputation was famous throughout the whole Underworld Estate; how could he tolerate a child like Ye Xuan speaking so rudely to him like that?
“In that case, be careful. I wanted to give you a Universal Getaway Talisman, but it looks like you don’t need it.” Su Mo turned to leave.
“Give it to me.” Ye Xuan held out his hand. He was no idiot. While he did not want Su Mo to send him men, he would not refuse a good treasure.
Su Mo smiled. He placed the mysterious talisman in Ye Xuan’s hand.
“Work hard on your cultivation. I’ve recently experienced signs of a breakthrough. In a few years, I’ll finally break through to the Fifth Divine Martial Realm, also known as the Fire, Wind, and Thunder Tribulations. Then I will marry your older sister.” Su Mo did not say anything else and left the Underworld Plaza along with his grand entourage.
