Chapter 274 - 274: He’s Gone Too Far
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Such selfless and helpful people like Su Chen were exceedingly rare. Huo Xi felt very fortunate to have met Su Chen here today. Without him in the Holy City, the consequences would be unimaginable. It was almost certain that the moment she revealed the Exquisite Pagoda at the auction, greed would arise in 99% of those present.
The remaining 1% were not hostile towards her, mainly because they lacked sufficient strength. Under siege from formidable foes, it would be nearly impossible for Huo Xi alone to fight free despite her peak-stage Spirit Sea Realm cultivation.
Yet now, with just a few words from Su Chen, her circumstances had completely reversed. Not only had the crowd not become her enemies, but many had even shown her kindness, which was clearly not because of her, but due to Su Chen.
Most were Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of various factions. Even the weakest were core disciples of saint-level powers. For such individuals to exhibit goodwill was solely out of respect for Su Chen.
“Since Fellow Daoist Su Chen is helping me so greatly, how can I remain indifferent? Those two pills are far from enough to repay his kindness!” Huo Xi thought about how to repay Su Chen.
The Pavilion Master had a banquet prepared. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Amidst the clinking of cups, and toasts, there was a scene of cheerful harmony.
At the same time, outside the Holy City, the Golden Crow Clan’s Fourth Prince appeared in the sky with a group. His golden eyes flickered with chilling intent, golden hair fluttering as the anger in his chest fully erupted.
“He’s gone too far!”
The Fourth Prince roared, throwing out a punch. The mighty fist light was like a meteor falling towards a distant mountain. In but the blink of an eye, the mountain crumbled to dust.
The horrifying commotion shook the area for a hundred miles. Rocks pierced the clouds as smoke and dust filled the air, forming an extremely terrifying scene. When had he, the esteemed Golden Crow Clan’s Fourth Prince, ever suffered such humiliating indignity?
Yet just earlier in the hall, he didn’t even dare breathe loudly before Su Chen. He could only helplessly watch an elder of his clan sent flying by Su Chen’s slap, unable to utter a sound, much less hurl threats. This extremely oppressive atmosphere was maddening!
Especially when thinking of the fallen Golden Crow Clan princes, his own brothers! The enemy was right before him, yet he was incapable of vengeance. This vexed him even more.
“Prince, please calm down!” an elder behind the Fourth Prince pleaded. However, his words only aggravated the Fourth Prince’s fury.
“Calm down?” The Fourth Prince laughed bitterly. He turned, gazing at the elder as he uttered deeply, “How can 1 calm down? Su Chen treated me like this today yet I still cannot think of revenge. Tell me, how do I calm down?” Without personally facing Su Chen, one could not comprehend that pressure. His opponent was already at the Quasi-Saint Realm.
Meanwhile, he was merely at the Nirvana Realm. Relying on himself for vengeance was like dreaming foolishly.
The gap between him and Su Chen was a chasm, impossible to bridge. No, to be precise, he didn’t even dare contemplate crossing it.
“Elder, do you think Su Chen will die if a Saint Realm expert strikes?” the Golden Crow Clan’s Fourth Prince spoke solemnly. Su Chen’s name had nearly become his inner demon. Without killing Su Chen, let alone avenging today’s disgrace, even touching Huo Xi would be impossible! After all, Su Chen had sworn to protect her. If he made a move on Huo Xi, Su Chen would surely retaliate.
Eliminating Su Chen was an urgent priority.
“Hard to say.” the elder shook his head slightly, tone uncertain. “At the moment when Su Chen made his move today, it was too brief for me to gauge his depth. His power should still be at the initial stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, yet it seems not. Reaching this at his age shows Su Chen’s potential. He has the makings of a great emperor! If one wants to attack him, even a saint may not succeed!”
A Saint Realm expert was formidable, and Su Chen might not prevail. But if Su Chen wished to leave, the elder thought even a saint might fail to stop him. The prestigious Great Mystery Holy Son Su Chen had already risen to prominence. Wanting to act against him now was too late. Moreover, Su Chen had the backing of so many forces. While dealing with him seemed easy, who could withstand Su Chen’s retaliation if they failed? Even their mighty Golden Crow Clan would likely suffer broken bones.
“Does this mean we must let the matter go?” the Fourth Prince spoke in a deep voice. His face was filled with unwillingness, yet he was helpless against Su Chen. He even worried Su Chen might strike him.
“If there’s truly no alternative, we can only report to the clan,” the elder sighed resignedly. “The ancestors may have a way. After all, Su Chen’s current strength is beyond what we can provoke.”
“Alright…” Just as the Fourth Prince began responding, the surrounding void suddenly distorted. Immediately after, eight powerful figures flew over from the distant horizon. They advanced together, their auras powerful to the extreme, causing the very earth below them to sink. Everyone was wreathed in radiance like immortals descended to the mortal realm, striking awe in all who saw them.
“This is…” All the Golden Crow Clan experts turned, peering carefully behind them. An elder murmured, “The Inky Sea Island? The Infinite Demon Sect? When did they join forces?”
The Inky Sea Island lay in the endless eastern seas. Its profound foundation passed down through the ages, with no one certain how many experts it still held. As for the Infinite Demon Sect, their reputation as deviants needed no elaboration.
Generally, the Inky Sea Island was associated with the Central Plains’ factions, seldom interfering with the East Barrens’. They looked down on the powers of the East Barrens. Yet today, the fact these two combined was indeed peculiar.
“So it’s friends from the Golden Crow Clan!”
From a great distance, an Inky Sea Island expert smiled and spoke. His body was stalwart, his bizarre blue hair and aura both extremely frightening.
Arriving before the Golden Crow Clan members, he peered at the nearby Holy City, then the clansmen. With puzzlement, he remarked, “I heard the Holy City is holding an auction. Why are you all here instead of joining the fun?”
However, the Golden Crow Clan elder’s next words left them stunned. “Su Chen is here,” the old man intoned gravely.
As he finished speaking, the atmosphere stagnated. Whether the people of the Inky Sea Island or the Infinite Demon Sect, all their expressions abruptly turned ominous. Of those present, each force had suffered at Su Chen’s hands. Especially the Infinite Demon Sect. They had even lost several Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses.. This hatred was nearly irreconcilable!
