Chapter 199: We’ve Met Again
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Senior, we meet again!”
Su Chen turned around and looked at the old man who was not far away from him. He put away the Azure Dragon Sword and said with a smile.
His casual demeanor didn’t reveal that he had just forcefully slain a Nirvana Realm expert!
And that expert was a Duke of the Dashang Empire!
“All… Yes, we’ve met again.”
The old man rubbed his nose in embarrassment when he heard this.
“Many thanks for Senior’s help. Without Senior’s help, I’m afraid I would have had much trouble.”
Su Chen glanced at the two heads in the old man’s hand and instantly understood the whole story.
Those two seemed to be the Dukes of Dashang.
Earlier, Duke Qi didn’t avoid him when he used the communication jade slip, so Su Chen saw everything.
In fact, he was a little puzzled back then.
Why hadn’t Duke Qi’s reinforcements arrived yet?
However, when he saw the old man, he instantly understood.
It seemed that these two people had long been killed by the old man.
To be precise, sealed.
Their divine souls were sealed in their heads and could not escape. It was no different than death.
“I’m just following the orders of my young mistress. All this was ordered by Young Mistress for me to do.”
The old man waved his hand indifferently and said.
Although he spoke casually, he emphasized the word “Young Mistress.”
It wasn’t hard to understand what he meant. It was just that his Young Mistress had been looking out for Su Chen.
“Haha…”
Hearing this, Su Chen chuckled and did not comment.
He flipped his palm.
A bottle of pills appeared in his palm. He handed it to the old man and said, “Senior has killed two Dashang Dukes and seems to have suffered quite a few injuries. It just so happens 1 have some healing pills here. I’ll gift them to Senior today as thanks for Senior’s assistance.”
“Uh…”
The old man raised an eyebrow and looked at the pills. He didn’t refuse.
“Then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Seeing this, Su Chen looked around and continued, “Senior has helped me kill two Dashang Dukes today. In the future, you have to be careful in the imperial city!”
“Naturally.”
The old man gently nodded, his expression haughty as he said, “Although I’m only at the Quasi-Saint Realm, I’m very proficient in concealment techniques. Even Saint Realm existences will be unable to detect any traces of me if they do not investigate carefully! But… you…”
At this point, the old man paused and looked at Su Chen with a serious expression.
“If you follow this path to the west, there are still a few hundred thousand miles before you can leave the territory of Dashang. If you delay much longer, I’m afraid that the Dashang Empire will send a Quasi-Saint Realm expert!” “No!” Su Chen shook his head gently and said, “Senior, 1 think you misunderstood my intentions!”
Shang Zimo had once reminded him back in the imperial city of the Dashang Empire.
Now, she had even sent a Quasi-Saint Realm expert to protect him in secret.
Although Su Chen did not voice it aloud, he had already engraved this kindness onto his heart.
If he didn’t know about Dashang’s sinister intentions, that would be one thing.
But now that he did, he had to warn Shang Zimo regardless.
“Then what do you mean?”
The old man asked in confusion.
“I suspect someone in Dashang is colluding with the dark creatures!”
Su Chen didn’t beat around the bush and spoke directly.
At this critical juncture, there was no need for circumlocution.
“Uh… How is that possible!”
The old man gasped and said in disbelief.
The invasion of the dark creatures was too long ago.
It had been so long that many had already forgotten of their existence.
Even today, Black Blood Stones were no longer something ordinary cultivators could access.
Not long ago when traces of dark creatures appeared near the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, many were reminded of some ancient records and became aware that dark creatures existed. But that was all!
But that was all!
After all, the dark creatures that appeared near the Great Mystery Holy Land were too weak!
The strongest were only in the Qi Sea Realm, and even the Dachu Empire did not pay much attention to this matter.
Not to mention the other forces.
It was estimated that many factions outside the Dachu Empire were still unaware that the dark creatures had already begun invading.
After hearing Su Chen’s words today…
The old man’s first reaction was disbelief.
After all, the dark creatures and the world he was in were mortal enemies!
The kind that would not rest until the other was dead!
How could anyone dare to take such a huge risk to cooperate with the dark creatures?
“This matter is not a joke. Can you confirm which one of Dashang is colluding with the dark creatures?”
The old man asked with a solemn expression.
“I can’t tell you who it is exactly. It should be a Saint Realm expert!”
Su Chen pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
When he killed Marquis Champion, a projection of a saint appeared.
However, that projection of a saint was too terrifying. Its appearance could not be made out at all. One could only roughly judge it to be a saint of Dashang.
That saint had appeared shortly after the death of Marquis Champion.
Su Chen had no reason to suspect that the saint was the one who had given Marquis Champion the Black Blood Stones!
Moreover…
Su Chen even suspected that the saint was the Emperor of Dashang!
Although…
There was no news of the Dashang Emperor becoming a saint in the East Barrens.
However, no one could guarantee that the Emperor of Dashang had not secretly become a saint in some secluded corner.
“A Saint Realm expert?”
When the old man heard this, his mood could not help but become heavy.
After pondering for a long time, he looked up at Su Chen and asked with a serious expression, “How did you know about this?”
“I guessed it.”
Su Chen said casually without any intention of explaining.
For the average cultivator, inferring that Dashang had a saint colluding with dark creatures just from Marquis Champion was simply too inconceivable.
It was somewhat forced.
Su Chen didn’t explain much. Instead, he released the golden chariot and walked up step by step. As he walked, he said, “Senior, you just need to remember that I don’t need to lie to you. That’s enough! I still have to return to the Great Mystery Holy Land, so I’ll take my leave here today! I hope Senior can remember my words. When you return to the imperial city, be careful!”
An ethereal voice rang out from the void.
The golden chariot Su Chen rode transformed into a ray of light, quickly vanishing beyond the horizon.
“This…He guessed it?”
The old man looked at the place where Su Chen disappeared and pondered for a moment. Then, he whispered, “Whether it’s true or not, since Young Friend Su Chen has told us, I must prepare an escape route upon returning! If it’s really like what Young Friend Su Chen said, without an escape plan, Young Mistress and I will be in danger”
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge force erupted from the old man’s hand. Bang!
The two heads in his hands instantly turned into a mist of blood.
After that, the old man deeply glanced in the direction Su Chen had left. His entire being became a streak of light, shooting toward the imperial city of Dashang..
