While Chu Kuangren was helping out Shi Ying with her sword technique, he suddenly sensed something and looked in a certain direction.
“This aura…”
There was a strange look in his eyes.
He then traveled to the source of that aura with Shi Ying and Fu Yin.
It was coming from a ruined city shrouded within a powerful Yin qi, with countless dead souls wandering around.
!!
The location was the Fengdu Underworld City! To be precise, it was a fragment of Fengdu Underworld City.
“What a surprise. To think there’s a fragment of Fengdu Underworld City here.”
With a grin, Chu Kuangren headed to the depths of the Underworld City to explore it with Shi Ying and Fu Yin.
However, after some time, he arrived at a palace named Heng Palace!
Chu Kuangren thought for a moment before identifying the location as one of the Ghost Emperors of the Five Cardinal Directions, Zhang Heng’s palace.
However, he could not find the Samsara Emperor Seal there.
“The Emperor Seal is not here?”
Chu Kuangren was quite surprised. Had someone come here earlier than him and taken away the Emperor Seal?
“Roar!”
Just then, a bone-chilling roar came from outside the palace.
Unbeknownst to them, a large number of resentful dead souls had surrounded the palace.
With that, Chu Kuangren and his two followers walked out of the palace.
The leader of the dead souls was wearing black armor, with messy hair over his shoulders and bursts of rage qi emanating all over him. His aura was on par with a Gilded Immortal, and even a trace of it could shatter the surrounding void.
Under that aura, both Shi Ying and Fu Yin became afraid, and they started shuddering with fear.
It was a dead soul at the Gilded Immortal level!
“Insolent humans, for trespassing here time after time and even taking away the Emperor Seal, all of you deserve death!” the armored dead soul said in a cold voice and was about to attack.
Despite that, Chu Kuangren’s expression remained emotionless.
Just as the thousands of dead souls charged toward him, he commanded, “Kneel!”
Within an instant, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from his body, shocking every dead soul present!
The countless dead souls felt an intent of surrendering from the bottom of their hearts and immediately fell to the ground involuntarily!
Even the armored dead soul who was on par with a Gilded Immortal shuddered as he looked at Chu Kuangren in disbelief. His knees turned weak, and eventually, he was kneeling on the ground like the other dead souls.
“This is the Ghost Emperor’s authority!”
“Y-You’re the Ghost Emperor!”
The armored dead soul was shocked.
Although Chu Kuangren’s cultivation level was lower than his, he could sense a frightening aura coming from Chu Kuangren from the very depths of his soul!
Only the Ghost Emperors of legends would possess such an aura.
Standing with both hands behind his back, Chu Kuangren did not deny the armored dead soul’s claim.
He may just be a clone, but he still possessed the Ghost Emperor’s authority. Hence, none of the dead souls in the Fengdu Underworld City could harm him.
“Now, tell me. Who took away the Emperor Seal here?”
“They’re cultivators from the Northland’s Chen clan.”
‘Northland’s Chen clan?’
“Tell me more about this.”
The armored dead soul immediately told Chu Kuangren everything he knew.
Northland’s Chen clan was a native orthodoxy on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, but among the forces on the planet, there was nothing worth noting about them.
The strongest in the Chen clan was only a Gilded Immortal, and they were the ones who took away the Emperor Seal.
Besides that, the Chen clan had been coming here from time to time to capture the dead souls in Fengdu Underworld City. Word had it that they were being used as materials for making Immortal Weapons.
Although the armored dead soul was very angry about it, he could not do anything about it.
For one, his enemy — the head of the Chen clan — was a Gilded Immortal who obtained their Emperor Seal. Although he had not fully refined it, he could already use it to hold back the dead souls in the city.
Secondly, a restriction placed upon Fengdu Underworld City prevented the dead souls, including him, from leaving.
“Using souls in weaponsmithing, huh? This seems like a Demonic Dao technique to me.”
“Interesting. To think there’s an orthodoxy that specializes in Demonic Dao techniques here on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet, and they’ve killed the dead souls of my Fengdu Underworld City!”
A chilling grin appeared on the corner of Chu Kuangren’s mouth.
As Fengdu Underworld City’s Ghost Emperor, every single dead soul within the city was akin to his subjects.
He could kill them!
However, no one else but him could do the same!
At that thought, a terrifying aura spread everywhere from Chu Kuangren.
He looked at the armored dead soul and others before saying indifferently. “Bring me to the Northland’s Chen clan you speak of. Demonic cultivators who sacrifice souls for weaponsmithing have no right to have the Emperor Seal!”
“But, your majesty, we can’t leave the vicinity of this Underworld City.”
“You can now!”
As soon as Chu Kuangren said that, his Ghost Emperor authority activated!
When the restrictions placed against the dead souls of Fengdu Underworld City disappeared, the armored dead soul and others felt as if a weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
They had never felt so relaxed before.
“Thank you, Ghost Emperor!”
The armored dead soul was jumping with joy, and then he thanked Chu Kuangren respectfully.
“What’s your name?”
“Ao Yue.”
…
Northland was the name of a continent on the Holy Violet Emperor Planet.
Compared to the rest of the Holy Violet Planet, that continent was like a drop of water in the ocean, and it did not stand out much.
However, the Chen clan was one of the most powerful orthodoxies here in the Northland. They were so influential and powerful that no one would dare to provoke them.
At that moment, inside the Chen clan.
The Chen Clan Leader — one of the most powerful figures of Northland — was entertaining a few young cultivators.
If any cultivators from the Northland saw that, they would surely be shocked.
As a Gilded Immortal, the Chen Clan Leader was a very powerful cultivator. Meanwhile, the strongest among those young cultivators was only a True Immortal, so why was he treating them with so much respect?
“I can’t believe I’d have the chance to meet sky-prides from the Demonic Dao,” the Chen Clan Leader lamented.
There was something about the Chen clan that many did not know about, and that was they were actually a branch clan of the Demonic Dao’s Soul-Vanquishing Tribe.
As for his guests, they were Demonic Dao sky-prides from the outside world.
Although their cultivation level was lower than his, the Demonic Dao forces they belonged to were many times more powerful and terrifying than the tiny Chen clan!
Any one of their Demon Kings could kill the Chen clan thousand times over just with one attack.
In that case, how could he not treat them respectfully?
It was especially since the Battle of Heavenly Champions was still ongoing, and the Holy Violet Emperor Planet had opened to the outside world.
“A very long time ago, the Holy Violet Immortal Emperor from the Kunlun Immortal Hall captured many races, orthodoxies, and tribes from all over the universe. Then, he settled them down here on Holy Violet Emperor Planet to diversify the population. Ever since that day, every generation of the Chen clan has been living their lives on this planet, suffering the restrictions of the planet left behind by the Holy Violet Immortal Emperor, and aren’t allowed to leave this place forever.”
“Not many natives of this planet know that the Holy Violet Emperor Planet they were born on is actually a cage built by the Holy Violet Immortal Emperor,” the Chen Clan Leader lamented.
Then, he looked at the Demonic Dao sky-prides before him with excitement.
All of them were Heavenly Champions with bright futures. Perhaps when they become stronger in the future, they could help the Chen clan break free from this cage!
“I’ve prepared a banquet for all of you. Please enjoy yourselves today.”
The Chen Clan Leader held that thought and treated the Demonic Dao sky-prides with a much friendlier attitude.
“Thanks a lot, Chen Clan Leader.”
Chi Yue, a sky-pride from the Chiyou Tribe, chuckled.
At the banquet, many of the Chen clan disciples were very curious about the Demonic Dao sky-prides from the outside world.
“Check it out. That guy over there is from the Sword Demon Tribe. What a chilling sword qi he has.”
“That’s right. And take a look at that Soul-Vanquishing Tribe cultivator. I heard our Chen clan is a branch clan of their tribe.”
Many Chen clan disciples were looking at the Demonic Dao sky-prides with admiration.
For people like them, those sky-prides were cultivators they could never dream of becoming. Meanwhile, the Demonic Dao sky-prides had a prideful look on their faces.
“Come, here’s a toast to everyone!”
The Chen Clan Leader raised his glass and was about to make a toast.
However, he suddenly sensed something coming from afar. As he looked into the distance, a conflicted look appeared in his eyes.
