Chapter 254 - 254: Quasi-Emperor Realm Powerhouse
“Fellow DaoistSj my Spirit Race has never harbored any grudges against the Purple Clouds Holy Land or the Rosy Clouds Holy Land. By attacking today, are you provoking my Spirit Race?” Ling Yu looked at the two elders from the Purple Clouds Holy Land and the Rosy Clouds Holy Land with an unfriendly expression, speaking solemnly.
Although they were not equal in numbers, rhe Spirit Race had never lost in terms of aura.
“You may indeed have no grudges with us, but by provoking Fellow Daoist Su Chen, you have made a mistake’ ” Elder Wang from the Purple Clouds Holy Land said with an unfriendly look.
Hearing this, Ling Yu’s expression immediately darkened. He glanced up at Su Chen and finally said helplessly, “Fellow Daoist Su Chen, many of our younger generation in the race have been disrespectful. 1 hope you won’t take offense!”
“Haha…” Su Chen chuckled but did not respond. His profound gaze remained fixed on rhe Spirit Race members.
After a long time, he finally spoke, “I didn’t take any offense at all.”
Hearing this, the Spirit Race members heaved sighs of relief in unison. As iong as Su Chen said this, it meant he wouldn’t pursue the matter. In this way, he was actually being very friendly to them!
Thinking of this, rhe Spirit Race members’ gazes gathered on Ling Yu once more. Ling Yu promptly said, “In that case, we will take our leave first. Everyone, we shall meet again if fate allows!”
After speaking, he led the Spirit Race members hurriedly flying away. They didn’t want to linger here another second. Even with Qin Hao right before their eyes, they didn’t dare look again, afraid another glance would incur Su Chen’s displeasure.
At this moment, most of the forces present already stood by Su Chen’s side. No matter how powerful the Spirit Race was, they didn’t dare stir up trouble.
“Did 1 say you could leave?”
Just then, Su Chen suddenly spoke. His voice was very calm, devoid of any emotion. But to the Spirit Race members, it was like thunder exploding in their ears.
Ling Yu’s expression darkened once more as he stared at Su Chen, speaking heavily, “Fellow Daoist Su Chen, what do you mean by this?”
“I only said I didn’t take offense. But 1 don’t recall saying you could leave!” Su Chen slowly descended from the sky toward the Spirit Race members. His steps were very slow7, almost like an old man out for a stroll. Yet each step spanned tens of miles. In just two or three steps he arrived before the Spirit Race.
He was like a mountain plunging from the heavens, bringing endless pressure as he descended upon the Spirit Race members. Especially the Spirit Race youth. With only Nirvana Realm cultivation, he felt like ten mountains were weighing down on him, almost suffocating.
How is this possible? How can he be so strong?”
The Spirit Race youth’s face was paper-white. His pupils were filled with disbelief. Without truly confronting Su Chen, he couldn’t comprehend just how terrifying Su Chen’s strength was.
One had to know that not long ago Su Chen was still only a Nirvana Realm cultivator, almost the same level as him. Yet in just these few days, Su Chen’s strength had already reached the Quasi-Saint Realm. At this moment Su Chen could stand shoulder to shoulder with the leaders of the various major factions. As for him… right now, he could only look up at Su Chen! He couldn’t even withstand Su Chen’s pressure.
“Cough, cough…” Ling Yu’s eyes were ice-cold deep down. But facing Su Chen s tranquil gaze, he could only force a smile. He took off his storage ring and handed it over to Su Chen. “It was my oversight. The juniors of my race have been disrespectful toward Fellow Daoist Su Chen, so of course we can’t just leave like this. This contains all my Spirit Race’s gains after entering this small world. Consider it a small token, 1 hope Fellow Daoist Su Chen won’t look down on it.”
In his view, Su Chen simply wanted to exploit them for resources by relying on the many experts behind him. In any case, the Spirit Race was a huge clan. They could do without the small world’s resources. As long as they could leave safely today, it would be worth it.
However, to his surprise, Su Chen remained in place, glancing at his storage ring playfully as he said indifferently, “A small token? This really is just a small token of your appreciation!”
“Hmm?” Hearing this, the smile on Ling Yu s face quickly vanished as he spoke heavily, “Fellow Daoist Su Chen, what do you mean by this? Just now, the juniors of my race were merely a bit too aggressive with their words. It would be best if you could be lenient and spare them. After all, my Spirit Race is different from Dashang! Offending my Spirit Race is the same as offending the Qin family!”
As soon as he said this, the area within a thousand-mile radius instantly fell dead silent. Everyone held their breath, not even daring to breathe at this moment.
The Qin family! The significance of these two words was truly immense. These two words carried a great deal of weight. On the surface, the Qin family was the same as the Dasui Empire, both forces having produced a Great Emperor before. However, there were differences between the Great-Emperor-level factions. After all, not every descendant of a Great Emperor lived up to expectations. Over the long years, countless descendants had been destroyed.
Compared to before, although the Dasui Empire had declined, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. The current Dasui Empire was still not a place ordinary Holy Lands could trifle with. On the contrary, the Qin family was different. The Qin family was extremely terrifying. Countless old monsters still hid in their forbidden grounds.
Over ten thousand years ago, a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert from rhe Qin family took action, intimidating countless forces. Ten thousand years had passed since then, no one dared confirm whether that Quasi-Emperor Realm expert was dead or alive.
In the eyes of outsiders, even a Saint Realm expert might not necessarily die in ten thousand years, let alone a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse. And that powerhouse likely still lived. If the Qin family only had one Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse overseeing them, that would be one thing. But most crucially, an exceedingly monstrous freak had appeared in the Qin family, Qin Yuan!
This prodigy had extraordinary signs from heaven and earth when he was just born. Later, it was confirmed he was born with Mystic Eyes! From ancient times until now, only five people possessed this gift. Everyone had achieved terrifying heights, at minimum, reaching the Emperor Realm! Some even more monstrous freaks entered the Immortal Realm!
No one dared confirm what stage those mystic-eyed existences had reached now. Perhaps they had already perished in the Immortal Realm. Or perhaps… they still lived! Or even, they had become giants of the Immortal Realm!
Thus, from the moment Qin Yuan was born, the position of Great Emperor had already been reserved for him. A force with a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse overseeing them, plus a prodigy destined to become an Emperor as long as he didn’t die, unless one wasn’t an idiot, no one would dare provoke the Qin family.
And the reason the Spirit Race spoke like this was because… Qin Yuan’s mother was one of them.. Thus, the Qin family and Spirit Race had endless connections!
