Chapter 268: Su Chen’s Reputation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“No wonder this Golden Crow Clan prince lost composure upon seeing the girl.”
“So that’s how it is!”
“With such deep enmity, I’m afraid no one today can protect her!”
“What a pity,” someone lamented, shaking his head slightly. He soon walked out of the auction hall, wanting to leave.
A formation quickly activated within the hall. It was a defensive formation that could withstand a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse’s might, as the True Treasure Pavilion had experienced such situations frequently. All were cultivators and fights over disagreements were common. Even the True Treasure Pavilion’s reputation could not deter everyone, so they had long ago set up formations to contain any battle’s aftermath.
“Die!” the Golden Crow Clan prince shouted coldly. Golden blood essence erupted from his body. Then, a massive golden hand emerged, smashing down like a world-destroying millstone.
Buzz…
The surrounding formations hummed as peak-stage Nirvana Realm aura roared forth, suppressing all directions and leaving people breathless. Countless spectators paled in horror at the sight.
“Peak stage of the Nirvana Realm! Is he the fourth or fifth Golden Crow Clan prince?”
Huo Xi frowned slightly, glancing around. The formerly righteous blue-robed man and his friends now trembled, involuntarily retreating.
Having left the battlefield, they acted wholly uninvolved, keeping aloof. If the Yin Yang Holy Land still stood before them, they might have helped Huo Xi speak up. But with the Yin Yang Holy Land and the True Treasure Pavilion tacitly avoiding involvement… to continue speaking or help Huo Xi now would be courting death! After all, they were only Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, while that Golden Crow Clan prince was at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm. Behind him, more Golden Crow Clan experts lay in wait, any one of them at the Quasi-Saint Realm. If they jointly attacked, likely all would perish!
“So what if he’s at the peak stage of the Nirvana Realm?” Huo Xi waved her hand, and a palm-sized, Exquisite Pagoda flew forth, enveloped in an immortal aura as if forged from ancient immortal gold. Expanding to thousands of feet tall in the wind, it pressed forth.
“The Exquisite Pagoda is truly in your hands! It seems my fallen brothers did not die in vain!” Greed burned in the Golden Crow Clan prince’s eyes as his golden hand grew denser, grabbing at the pagoda. Just as they were about to collide…
“Stop!” A cold shout rang out as boundless might descended like an invisible mountain smashing down and eroding their divine powers away. An aged, white-haired man then emerged from the void. After appearing, he first glanced at the pagoda above Huo Xi before shifting his gaze to the nearby Golden Crow Clan prince.
“An esteemed guest has requested the recently auctioned Seven-Colored Divine Stone,” he stated. “Fourth Prince can keep the 10 million supreme-grade stones you just paid for other use.”
“Hmm?” The Fourth Prince’s golden eyes constricted as he spoke in a deep voice, “Esteemed guest? Which esteemed guest?”
He dared attack because Huo Xi seemed weak, and he had wasted 10 million on a useless Seven-Colored Divine Stone after being tricked. Now someone was willing to take it off his hands, which was also good for him. At least he needn’t spend 10 million supreme-grade spirit stones on trash.
“The Great Mystery Holy Son!” the elder said plainly.
“Su Chen?” Hearing this, the Fourth Prince’s pupils contracted in shock before a smile crept onto his face. He cupped his fists and said, “Please send my regards to Fellow Daoist Su Chen.”
In his view, this was Su Chen expressing goodwill. After all, Su Chen was only at the Quasi-Saint Realm and his demand for saint-level materials was not significant. But Su Chen had spent a huge price to help himself stop bleeding; what was this if not a gesture of goodwill? Thinking this, the Fourth Prince felt somewhat smug and glanced at Huo Xi. “After killing her, I will pay my respects to Brother Su Chen!”
However, the elder then shook his head. “The Great Mystery Holy Son said he didn’t want any fights here, only for the auction to continue. Anyone who insists on attacking will become his enemy!”
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince’s expression changed. “What…” The smile just now instantly vanished. Gazing at the nearby Huo Xi, his eyes flashed with struggle. His main purpose here was to kill her and avenge his fallen brothers, yet now the enemy was before him, and Su Chen’s words alone made him abandon revenge, which was even more unbearable than death. But thinking of Su Chen’s strength, the Fourth Prince hesitated. His opponent was already a powerful Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse. After over a year of cultivation, his realm was stable. In addition to his achievements in the God Demon Sect’s small world, anyone under the Saint Realm would reconsider before facing Su Chen.
The Fourth Prince pondered for a long time before gritting out, “Please tell Brother Su Chen I know what to do!” The old man quickly left as the auction hall erupted into chaos.
“The Great Mystery Holy Son is actually here!”
“Hiss! With just a single line, he stopped the battle. Among the younger generation, only the Great Mystery Holy Son could do this.”
“His reputation is built on the blood of countless experts. Even the Golden Crow Clan prince doesn’t dare provoke him lightly.”
“Hehe, I’d reckon none below the Saint Realm will dare touch the Great Mystery Holy Son!”
“Just now he took the Seven-Colored Divine Stone. Do you think he’s preparing to become a saint?”
“That’s impossible, right? He only recently reached the Quasi-Saint Realm, how can he enter the Saint Realm so quickly? The Saint Tribulation is not so simple!”
“I think he’s preparing in advance. With his strength and talent, though not yet Saint Realm, he will definitely reach it in the future.”
“The Great Mystery Holy Son, Su Chen?” Huo Xi muttered, standing rooted in place. She had long heard of Su Chen’s reputation. His strength was unrivaled among the younger generation, even experts of the older generation didn’t dare provoke him casually. Innumerable forces supported him too. Back then, a divine body that had overcome nine Nirvana Tribulations fell to Su Chen, boosting his reputation and catching the attention of countless powerhouses..
