Chapter 293: Leave With Su Chen

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just as Tang Shui’s thoughts kept racing, Su Chen slowly sheathed the Azure Dragon Sword and calmly asked, “Is there anyone else willing to challenge the Eternal Forbidden Body?”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it echoed for hundreds of miles around.

The crowd exchanged glances when they heard this.

Hesitation filled the faces of those present. Some of the younger prodigies quickly averted their gazes, looking elsewhere.

What a joke! Even the prodigy from the Qin family had fallen into Huo Xi’s hands. Engaging in a battle with her at this moment was akin to seeking death!

However, it wasn’t that they were afraid of Huo Xi. Each of the prodigies present was a peerless talent from various holy lands and empires. They didn’t believe that their strength was inferior to Qin Yu from the Qin family. If they were to face Huo Xi, they might not win, but they wouldn’t lose terribly.

In a round-robin battle, Huo Xi might win one, two, or even three rounds, but could she win dozens of rounds? That was impossible! There were many Holy-Son-level figures present, and surely one of them could defeat Huo Xi.

The problem, however, was that it wasn’t their business to fight Huo Xi. But what if they accidentally got killed by her? That would be disastrous! With Su Chen around, they couldn’t even seek revenge from the Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses backing them. They’d be dying in vain.

With these thoughts in mind, the young prodigies fell silent, avoiding eye contact and showing no willingness to step forward.

The scene descended into a deep silence.

“Since no one is willing to continue the battle, today’s affairs will come to an end,” Su Chen calmly declared. He waved his sleeves, summoned the golden chariot, and bid farewell to some familiar faces.

Then, he turned to Huo Xi and asked, “Do you want to leave with me?”

“Hmm?” Huo Xi was momentarily surprised by the question. She glanced at the people around her and quickly understood Su Chen’s implication. If she stayed behind while Su Chen left alone, she might encounter numerous Quasi-Saint Realm experts ganging up on her before she could leave the Purple Clouds Holy Land’s territory. But if she left with Su Chen, the situation would be different. At least the journey would be peaceful, and no one would dare provoke her.

Realizing this, Huo Xi didn’t hesitate and smiled. “I’d trouble Brother Su Chen to take me along.”

With that, she followed Su Chen into the golden chariot, and they left together.

The onlookers watched Su Chen’s departure in silence, fully aware that not many events had transpired today, but each of them was monumental. If these events were to unfold in the outside world, they would undoubtedly cause a major uproar. The news of the Eternal Forbidden Body breaking through to the Nirvana Realm alone would reverberate far and wide. Furthermore, the simultaneous fall of a peak-stage Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse and a Nirvana Realm prodigy would surely unsettle the Qin family.

“Su Chen has already left. I reckon he’s headed to the Demon Slaying Altar next,” an elder from the Golden Crow Clan remarked, glancing at the Spirit Race Patriarch as he sent a secret message. “We need to adjust our previous plan.” If they stuck to their original strategy, it was likely that even with their many Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses and the formation, they wouldn’t be a match for Su Chen. In fact, trapping Su Chen was already a daunting task, let alone killing him. If they maintained a stalemate, the entire situation would tilt in Su Chen’s favor.

“Su Chen’s arrogance won’t last long,” the Spirit Race Patriarch added meaningfully. “Just now, the Qin family’s experts have already informed their clan about everything that transpired here. I believe it won’t be long before a Saint Realm expert from the Qin family comes to attack and personally slay Su Chen.”

“A Saint Realm expert from the Qin family?” The old man from the Golden Crow Clan froze upon hearing this, but a glimmer of joy soon crossed his aged face. The prospect of a Saint Realm expert intervening, with dozens of Quasi-Saint Realm experts as support, made the plan almost foolproof. Su Chen would have no chance of survival.

Not to mention that he was only in the middle stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm. Even if he were at the late stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm or even the peak stage, it wouldn’t matter. As long as he didn’t become a saint, he was just an ant. This principle held true everywhere.

“That’s not all,” the Spirit Race Patriarch added with a mysterious smile. “At that time, a Saint Realm expert from our Spirit Race will also emerge from seclusion.”

In the past, although the Spirit Race members and others were killed by Qin Hao, there were countless threads connecting them to Su Chen. If Su Chen hadn’t lent a helping hand, Qin Hao would have died long ago.

Nowadays, all these troubles had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, but they were inexorably linked to Su Chen.

The Spirit Race and the Qin family were different from other factions. Either they didn’t make enemies. Once they made enemies, they would eliminate them at the first opportunity.

Su Chen had made it clear that he was on the opposite side. The Spirit Race and the Qin family, as two major clans, didn’t want to bury any hidden dangers for themselves. After all, in history, too many similar things had happened. Countless factions, after making enemies, were reluctant to let their older generation experts take action due to their face and prestige. In the end, they waited until the enemy had grown to the point where they were a threat and capable of wiping them out.

In the eyes of the Spirit Race Patriarch, this was how the Golden Crow Clan appeared. Several of their own princes had already fallen, yet they were still unwilling to ask their older generation experts to take action. Instead, they sent other princes to seek revenge on Huo Xi.

Wasn’t this just causing trouble for themselves?

If they had allowed several Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses to attack together from the beginning, Huo Xi would probably have died long ago. Moreover, the immortal gold would have long since fallen into the hands of their Golden Crow Clan. Without Huo Xi, none of today’s events would have occurred. Qin Yu and Qin Li of the Qin family would not have perished either. It could be said that everything that happened today was due to the unwarranted benevolence of the Golden Crow Clan.

Therefore, the two major factions, the Golden Crow Clan and the Infinite Demon Sect, were not reliable in the eyes of the Spirit Race Patriarch. If they wanted to deal with Su Chen, they would need the cooperation of the Spirit Race and the Qin family.

Two Saint Realm experts attacking at the same time. Unless Su Chen could immediately become a saint, there was no way he could survive.

“Two saints…”

The eyes of the old man from the Golden Crow Clan trembled. He took a deep breath and admiringly said from the bottom of his heart, “How audacious!”

This was something he couldn’t do, even if it was the Golden Crow Clan. Not only the Golden Crow Clan, but even the Dashang Empire, the Infinite Demon Sect, and other powers couldn’t do it.

After all, saints were too important in the end. Saint Realm experts were the foundation of a faction, and they couldn’t be sent out casually. Only a powerful faction like the Qin family could be so open-minded.

After all, with a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert guarding them, sending a Saint Realm expert wasn’t a big deal..
