"Young Master Ling, this is for you."
Shen Xing handed the silver sphere over to Ling Chen.
He would not be in Qing Province, and Ling Chen might encounter many dangers. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novęlfire.net
With this item, he would feel more at ease.
Ling Chen took it and put it away.
"Inject Spiritual Power to activate it, and its power can slay an emperor of the nine-star rank!"
Shen Xing informed him of how to use it.
"By the way, when you go to the Central Plain, don’t forget to bring Xiao Qing with you."
Even without Shen Xing’s reminder, he would always take Xiao Qing with him.
"She’s a spirit beast!"
Shen Xing did not elaborate further.
"Alright, Young Master Ling, we are off now!"
Shen Xing gave Ling Chen a slight fist salute and then strode towards the exit.
Yun Shang hesitated, looked at Ling Chen, and said, "You are now a designated disciple of our sect. I shall also give you something to protect you."
With that, she formed a spell with her hands, condensing it into a cyan cloud.
Then directly integrated it into Ling Chen’s body.
"This item will notify me when you are in danger!"
Yun Shang smiled and said, "See you in the Central Plain!"
"Thank you, Sister Yun Shang!"
Ling Chen bowed slightly.
Yun Shang nodded and then left the room.
She gently traced in front of her, and the Void was torn apart instantly.
"Shen Xing, let’s go!"
Yun Shang protected them with the Heaven and Earth Power, then stepped into the Void and disappeared.
"Young Master Ling, who exactly is Shen Xing?"
Qin Wufa, Liu Ruyun, and the others watched Yun Shang and Shen Xing enter the Void, their eyes almost popping out from shock.
For emperors, it represented forbidden grounds.
Although they could already shatter the Void,
They did not dare to step into it.
The spatial turbulence within the Void could grind them into pieces.
Probably only real emperors who have reached the nine levels of the World Realm could survive in it.
And this young woman dared to enter the Void, taking Shen Xing along with her; what kind of power must she possess?
Could she possibly be a Great Emperor?
The only one they knew was the current State Governor of Qing Province, the Green Emperor, Mu Qing!
As for whether there were other Great Emperors in Qing Province, they had no clue.
They certainly hadn’t heard any such news.
Could this young woman be a super-strong figure, on the same level as the State Governor?
"Shen Xing hails from a major power in the Central Plain, and the one who took him away is a Great Emperor!"
Ling Chen’s eyes revealed a hint of yearning, his gaze steadfast.
He believed that one day, he too would reach this realm, or even surpass it!
"Truly a Great Emperor?"
Qin Wufa and the others felt their throats go dry, their minds nearly crashing from the excitement.
They had witnessed a living Great Emperor with their own eyes!
"Practice your cultivation seriously, and perhaps one day you’ll be able to touch this realm!"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Merely relying on the efforts of these people alone, the chance was not great.
Just looking at the number of Emperor Realm powerhouses in Qing Province would show that.
The Heavenly Passage Realm was extremely difficult to enter.
But he was different.
He possessed the Night Moon Saint Body, a unique physique reputed to encounter no bottlenecks in cultivation.
Even stepping into the Emperor Realm would not be too difficult for him.
And once he entered the Emperor Realm, those who followed him would also benefit greatly.
Because, in the Central Plain, Emperor Realm powerhouses were not rare.
With the resources of the Central Plain, it wasn’t difficult for the various powers to cultivate some Emperor Realm powerhouses.
"Yes, we will definitely practice diligently!"
Everyone nodded firmly.
Ling Chen had a very good relationship with Shen Xing.
Even Shen Xing from the Central Plain valued Ling Chen greatly.
So how could they not hurry to follow Ling Chen closely?
"Off you go to cultivate, we will set off in three days."
Ling Chen laughed and said,
Everyone respectfully took their orders and left.
Now, Ling Chen’s words were like a sacred command!
Ling Chen and his group left Nether City grandly, heading in the northwest direction.
Qing City was located to the northwest of Nether City.
However, Qing City was situated at the very north of Qing Province.
Between Nether City and Qing City, there was another city called Soul City.
It was a rather peculiar place.
Most people in Soul City had an inherent talent for being Divine Thought Masters.
As such, Soul City could be considered to have the greatest number of Divine Thought Masters in the entire Qing Province.
Although Divine Thought Masters were not skilled in combat, they were extremely proficient in auxiliary aspects of cultivation that were essential, such as Artifact Refining, Alchemy, and setting up Spirit Arrays.
Therefore, Soul City was known as the wealthiest city in Qing Province.
Of course, Qing City was not among the twelve cities.
It was an independent city-state.
After all, Qing City was the center of Qing Province.
The true wealth, naturally, was concentrated within Qing City.
Hearing that Ling Chen and his company had left eased Fu Gu immensely.
In Netherworld, Nether City, Dutong Mansion.
In a luxurious grand hall.
"Father, I’m sorry, I have lost the Purple Profound Sword you gave me!"
Murong Ziyi knelt in the center of the hall, full of self-blame.
The occupant of the upper seat was a majestic middle-aged man.
He was the Commander of Netherworld, Murong Qingshan.
Murong Qingshan suddenly stood up, staring at Murong Ziyi.
Thereupon, Murong Ziyi recounted in detail what had happened in Nether City.
"You couldn’t even defeat him?"
"He has mastered the Sword Dao?"
Murong Qingshan’s lips twitched.
He was well aware of his son’s strength.
To obtain the Heavenly Pride Token, how could his strength be ordinary?
Yet, such might was defeated by a young man from the Eastern Domain.
This was simply unbelievable!
"That there were people from the Central State by his side, and even Fu Gu was deterred?"
Murong Qingshan’s expression turned immensely grave.
He and Fu Gu had a deep friendship, and the fact that even Fu Gu was deterred meant that the person in question possessed absolutely terrifying power!
Silence befell the grand hall for a time.
Murong Qingshan warned, "Ziyi, Yuehua, remember this: we must not offend this individual."
"Shall we just let him have the Purple Profound Sword?"
Murong Ziyi was somewhat unwilling.
Without the Purple Profound Sword, his strength would instantly drop a tier.
Even though he was above his peers, amongst the Heavenly Pride, he was definitely at the bottom.
Murong Qingshan let out a cold snort and said, "The possessions of the Murong Family are not so easily taken."
"Father, do you have a plan?"
Murong Ziyi was overjoyed.
Murong Qingshan said, "This time, our Murong Family must absolutely not show our hand. Yuehua, you go and spread Ling Chen’s portrait throughout the mansion, instructing the people of the Murong Family to never offend this individual again."
Murong Yuehua took her leave.
Only the two of them remained in the grand hall.
In the center of the grand hall, a burst of light flickered, and an Array enveloped the two men.
"Ziyi, you said that Ling Chen is also a Divine Thought Master, right?"
Murong Qingshan asked again.
"Yes, Yuehua witnessed it herself. He used Divine Soul Attacks to annihilate many exceptional individuals!"
Murong Qingshan nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of murderous intent, "Leaving Nether City and heading to Qing City, he must pass through Soul City. If Ling Chen was just a Spiritual Power Practitioner, I couldn’t be sure. But since he is a Divine Thought Master, he will undoubtedly have to stop in Soul City. There, that will be the perfect place to kill Ling Chen."
Murong Ziyi frowned slightly and said, "It’s true that Ling Chen will pass through there. But someone has to take action!"
"Ziyi, what kind of place is Soul City?"
Murong Qingshan smiled faintly.
"The paradise for Divine Thought Masters!"
Then, his eyes lit up, realizing what his father meant.
To have the Divine Thought Masters take action against Ling Chen!
