this mighty and domineering sound came from the imperial city. it was the voice of the grand xia’s emperor, xia yuyang.
“an insignificant ancient nation dares to go against my ancient race alliance?! don’t think that we’re the pill tower! no one can stop the footsteps of my ancient races!” sneered the elephant race expert.
“how noisy. who dares to be so unbridled where my wine god palace is?”
just at this moment, a cold cry came from within grand xia city. space shook slightly, and a beautiful woman appeared by long chen’s side.
long chen was shocked. wasn’t this the female cultivator who had sent him wine? normally, she was so amicable, like a big sister.
although she hadn’t released her aura, she still somehow seemed like a sharp blade about to come out of its sheath. her eyes contained a reserved light that was incredibly icy.
the three races’ leaders were stunned. she was actually a powerful life star expert.
even xia yuyang was shocked. the wine god palace’s had never interfered with the outside world’s matters. even if he went to ask them for help, it would be useless.
but now, the wine god palace was willing to come out for long chen. xia yuyang found that extremely strange.
“the place where the wine god palace resides cannot be blasphemed. you should leave quickly, or don’t blame my wine god palace for being rude and forcibly expelling you.” the woman icily stared at the ancient race experts.
their expressions sank. they hadn’t expected the wine god palace to interfere in this matter. furthermore, they were so impolite.
the ancient races might not care about the grand xia, but they definitely wouldn’t dare to look down on the wine god palace. but for the wine god palace to be so rude, if they really left like this, wouldn’t they become laughingstocks?
just as the ancient races were stuck in a hard spot, outside the grand xia city, there was a large figure wearing a conical hat with a huge broadsword on his back that was indifferently watching.
his figure was very large and impressive, but that sword was even larger, and it gave off a heavy pressure.
“this fellow seems to be long chen. what is with that naughty smile? does he not have the slightest bit of backbone?” the large man frowned.
long chen didn’t know that there was someone secretly observing him. looking at the ashen-faced ancient race experts, he called out, “hurry up and fuck off. in three days, i will be leaving the grand xia through the western pass. if you have guts, come and fight me then!”
after saying that, long chen and the woman returned to the city. the ancient race experts’ expressions sank.
“what are we supposed to do?”
“i heard this brat isn’t the kind to lie like this. let’s go wait at the western pass.”
at this moment, everyone was looking at the beast hide with complicated expressions. the beast hide was touched with bloodstains, and they gave off shocking fluctuations.
that was the essence blood of a soul transformation expert. long chen was shocked. this was no ordinary essence blood either. it contained all the grievances of a soul transformation expert before their death.
seeing long chen arrive, xia yuyang said, “the capital of the grand han was razed to the ground by someone. other than two life star experts, the rest of the grand han’s imperial family were all slaughtered.”
“what?!”
now long chen really jumped in shock. who would dare to do such a thing to the grand han? the grand zhou? the grand chu? that was impossible! even if they were to do such a thing, they would have done it together with the grand xia.
furthermore, they had secretly received payment from the pill tower. they had no reason to directly target the grand han like this.
as if seeing through long chen’s thoughts, xia yuyang said, “it wasn’t done by the grand zhou or the grand chu. it was done by an expert from a branch of my grand xia. originally, i thought this branch had already died out. i didn’t think they would appear now.”
xia yuyang sighed. he told long chen one of the grand xia’s secrets: thousands of years ago, the grand xia had fractured, and a branch of the xia family had left. then they had vanished without a trace.
the grand xia had always thought this branch had already disappeared. but the appearance of this beast hide made xia yuyang recall that history.
“this xia character, it contains the bloodline energy of my xia family. it was definitely done by a descendant of my grand xia. furthermore, based on the power of the fluctuations, that bloodline power came from a youngster around the same age as chong-er and yun-er. however, to be able to annihilate the grand han’s imperial family on his own and still escape under the attacks of two life star experts, this expert from the branch is truly terrifying.”
xia yuyang was full of shock and gratification as he looked at the name written on the beast hide.
“truly terrifying. i wonder what kind of expert that person is?” long chen was shocked. for a single person to challenge the grand han’s imperial family, and for that person to be the same age as xia yunchong and the others, that person had to be absolutely monstrous.
xia yuyang shook his head. “it happened too fast, and no one had time to record it. according to the reports from some experts, that person was a formation cultivator. he stealthily established a grand formation within the grand xia’s imperial city, instantly annihilating it. other than life star experts, the rest were killed instantly. as for the grand han’s two life star experts, they attacked that person, but he used a formation to escape. he threw a bunch of beast hides like this into the air before leaving. this is just one of them.”
“what is it supposed to mean?” long chen didn’t understand. these two characters should be that person’s name. was it a show of power? “no...” long chen suddenly understood. “it was to show why he killed those grand han experts.”
xia yuyang nodded. “correct. the four ancient nations’ disputes are supposed to be resolved through the power of the four nations. it is prohibited to use other people’s power. this xia chen did this in order to give an explanation to the rest of the world: this is retribution from that branch of the xia family.”
xia chen. it seemed he was also a supremely terrifying expert. he had challenged the grand han’s imperial family on his own. were formation cultivators truly so terrifying? long chen muttered to himself inside.
but this branch of the grand xia didn’t communicate with them. since they had left, they didn’t want to return.
xia chen caused huge waves in long chen’s heart. there were plenty of terrifying experts in this world. perhaps one day, he would have to fight this xia chen.
three days passed quickly. long chen plundered all the medicinal wine produced by the wine god palace’s disciples before saying goodbye to the high priest. under xia youluo’s tear-filled eyes, long chen bid farewell to the grand xia’s experts. he stepped onto a transportation formation and disappeared.
when long chen reappeared, he was at the border of the grand xia. seeing the huge city gate tower with western pass written on it, he took a deep breath. tidying his robes, he stepped outside.
