Chapter 974 – Su Zhen, The Old Devil
Su Mo was overcome with shock when he heard Long Chen.
He knew that Long Chen had come from the Underworld Battlefield, but he did not know specifically what had happened there.
Does he know about the thing in the Underworld Blood Sea? But that’s impossible. The Demonic Blood Red Lotus is in an obscure section of the sea, and there are many powerful Underworld Beasts along the way. The average person is unable to make it far into that place. Even Gudu Jun could never find that place. It is impossible for this little brat to know.
Su Mo wanted to kill Long Chen as soon as possible, but the problem was that the latter was currently under Ye Xuan’s protection.
Ye Xuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and calmed herself. Her eyes met Su Mo’s, then she waved and said to Long Chen, “Just say what you know. No one can touch you with you standing behind me.”
She was at the Fifth Divine Martial Stage and had passed the Wind Tribulation. Long Chen sensed infinite power in her body, as if all the energy of the world was contained inside her. If she unleashed her power, Long Chen would immediately suffocate from just standing in front of her.
Although there was only a gap of five stages between the First and Fifth Divine Martial Stages, it was a gap of a thousand years. The Four Foundational Realms were just the foundations for the Three Martial Realms, but out of those, the Earthly and Heavenly Martial Realms were only the foundations for the Divine Martial Realm. Everything they did was in preparation for the Divine Martial Realm. One could only be considered a fully qualified expert once they reached the Divine Martial Realm.
The difference between the First and the Ninth Divine Martial Stages was so vast that it was similar to how helpless Long Chen was right now.
After her assurance, Long Chen had no fear. He even had Su Xue as a hostage.
Su Xue was an accomplice to the crimes; she was the one who had supplied the National Beauty Pill. People like that did not deserve forgiveness.
When Long Chen emerged from the Underworld Battlefield, he was heading for the City Lord’s mansion when he encountered Su Xue by chance. If he had not been able to defeat her, she would have called for reinforcements to kill him.
There were many Second Divine Martial Stage cultivators in the Underworld Army, none of whom Long Chen could defeat.
“Listen carefully to the secret I am about to reveal to you. Perhaps it will be a huge blow to you, and I apologize. If you continue to be kept in the dark, it will only cause you more harm.”
Long Chen’s words made Su Mo’s expression change again. What he hoped would not happen was about to become reality.
Under Ye Xuan’s protection, Long Chen started to reveal the secret of the Red Lotus Jade Pendant.
“...Grandpa Gudu helped us block the Golden Horn Blood Shark, but we were washed away by the huge wave it caused. When we woke up, we found ourselves at the bottom of the Underworld Blood Sea. That was when we found the Demonic Blood Lotus. I heard from your brother that the Red Lotus Jade Pendant passed down in the Ye family is related to it, and we were very surprised, thinking we found a treasure. However, when we approached, we discovered that the lotus had already withered. There were not even lotus seeds in the bud, but we discovered an indent that fits your Red Lotus Jade Pendant!”@@@@
When he spoke of this, Su Mo lowered his head, clenching his fists tightly. This was precisely what he hoped would not happen.
After hearing about the indent, Ye Xuan shuddered and recalled something.
It was heart-wrenching to hear Ye Xuan say such a thing.
“In that case, we shall meet next time,” Su Mo said nonchalantly with a smile. His plan for today had failed, and everything would be worse afterward. He could even be punished later, considering the fact that he was still not the strongest member of the Su family.
“Do you think you can leave just like that?” Long Chen knew that the City Lord’s brother and Gudu Jun were still in the enemies’ hands. Holding Su Xue hostage was not effective enough.
“What do you want to do? Use that woman to threaten me? Hehe, just kill her if you want. Kill as many as you want. You brat, do you think I don’t know about your friend? If you escaped, that means Gudu Jun and the brat did not manage to leave. The Underworld Battlefield is my turf. They’re surely under the Five Underworld Admirals’ control now, right?”
Then Su Mo laughed.
He was right. Ye Xuan was now in his hands. As a result, Long Chen and the City Lord were at a disadvantage.
“Give my brother back!” Ye Xuan sensed the severity of the situation. She shot a sharp glare at Su Mo, unleashing a soul-trembling wave of energy.
“When you have decided to give the Red Lotus Jade Pendant and yourself to me, we can bring up the topic of your brother again,” said Su Mo with a grin, unafraid.
“You!” Ye Xuan’s impression of Su Mo hit rock bottom.
Long Chen also understood that because the young Ye Xuan was in Su Mo’s hands, this had become a sticky situation. His mind raced thinking of a solution.
The entrance of the Underworld Battlefield was under Su Mo’s control, so it would be difficult to sneak in and rescue the young Ye Xuan.
The only solution was for Ye Xuan to grit her teeth and defeat Su Mo right now.
“In that case, I have no choice but to attack you.” Ye Xuan clenched her jaw and strode toward Su Mo.
“Wait.” Su Mo suddenly waved.
A powerful pressure descended upon all of Underworld City.
“Long time no see, Miss Ye,” said an elderly but magnetic voice. A moment later, a person appeared next to Su Mo. He looked like a very normal old man with a hunched back and red face. He had white hair but a relatively young face, though his gaze was abnormally sharp and energetic. He was wearing normal white robes with a bright smile on his face. If not for his status, anyone would have thought he was a normal old man.
“Su Zhen!” When she saw the old man, Ye Xuan’s expression soured.
This person was an old devil famous across Underworld City. Although he looked kindly, he was a vicious man who had taken many lives and had an unpredictable temper. Across the past few thousand years, he had killed hundreds of thousands of people. He was a leader of the Underworld Army who lived up to his reputation, and he was a powerful and influential Elder-like figure in the army. He was only one rank below the mysterious Underworld Overlord. He was one of the Underworld Emperors—Su Zhen!
