Chapter 421: Mu Qingxue’s Traces
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I didn’t expect Ye Ruxue to cause so much trouble as soon as she arrived in the Southern Region,” Su Chen thought to himself as he listened to Xu Zheng.
In his opinion, the young person who escaped into the Chaotic Sea Star Region was undoubtedly Ye Ruxue. Only she had the ability to provoke the ancient royal clan to pursue her, perhaps because she had snatched some opportunity from them.
After all, Ye Ruxue had memories of her past life. She had snatched opportunities more than once or twice before. It was said that if you often walked by the river, how could your shoes not get wet. It was likely this time, Ye Ruxue was caught red-handed by the other party, leading to the ensuing pursuit.
“Which clan is this so-called ancient royal clan then?” Su Chen asked Xu Zheng.
In the Southern Region, “ancient royal clan” was a general term with too many races to count. Strictly speaking, the True Dragon Clan that Long Wu belonged to was also one of the ancient royal clans. However, compared to the other races, the True Dragons were far too lacking in numbers.
“Well…” Xu Zheng gently shook his head. “1 do not know either.”
Any single one of those unsealed ancient royal clan’s creatures had Quasi-Saint Realm strength. How could their tiny Heavenly Path Sect dare to probe for information?
But in the next moment, Xu Zheng’s eyes suddenly lit up as if recalling something. He quickly said, “Although I don’t know which ancient royal clan they are from, I seem to have heard the names of those young people… It seems…it was someone called Mu Qingxue!”
“Huh?” Hearing this, Su Chen’s pupils contracted as he looked at Xu Zheng in shock, even the jade slip in his hand trembling slightly.
He had thought the one chased into the Chaotic Sea Star Region was Ye Ruxue. But he never expected it to actually be Mu Qingxue! This surprised Su Chen greatly.
When had Mu Qingxue come to the Southern Region? Back in the East Barrens, Su Chen had wondered why he didn’t see Mu Qingxue in the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. He assumed she had gone to some forbidden areas in the East Barrens to train. Even so, Mu Qingxue should not have faded into obscurity! Based on the protagonist template she had, it was impossible for her to remain unknown in the East Barrens.
After all, she was different from Cao Yun. However, that was indeed the case. After Qin Hao’s fame rose, Mu Qingxue seemed to completely vanish after emerging from the ruins of the God Demon Sect. There was no more news of her in the East Barrens.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qingxue had actually come to the Southern Region secretly! She had even been chased by the ancient royal clan, accidentally entering the Chaotic Sea Star Region in the process. This gave Su Chen a sense of realization – the protagonist was the protagonist. No matter where they went, they could obtain benefits by sheer coincidence.
If nothing unexpected happened, by the time the Chaotic Sea Star Region reopened, Mu Qingxue would have already reaped many benefits. When she reappeared, those ancient royal clans who wanted to deal with her would only be sending themselves to their graves.
“In that case, this is quite interesting!” Su Chen smiled. The Chaotic Sea Star Region alone had already gathered two protagonists. Although Ye Ruxue’s exact location was unknown, Su Chen was certain she had entered earlier than Mu Qingxue. After all, Ye Ruxue’s achievements in formations were no joke. He just didn’t know where exactly she was trapped now.
“Does Senior know that young person?” Xu Zheng was indeed a sly old fox. After living for so many years, his skills in observing expressions were not weak. He stole a glance at Su Chen and tentatively asked.
“That’s right…” Su Chen gently nodded, not hiding anything regarding this. However…
Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head, gazing into the void outside. Two divine lights like sharp swords pierced through the void from the depths of his pupils, shooting forward.
This change came too quickly, catching everyone off guard. Su Chen’s eyes were like rainbows, a clanging sound ringing endlessly as sparks flew in all directions. Countless divine lights rushed out, shocking countless beings.
Everyone in the Heavenly Path Sect witnessed this scene. An unrivaled power descended mightily, blanketing the sky. As for that gaze, it was even more terrifying, like the will of this world shooting out from the hall, extremely overbearing, illuminating the firmament. None dared look directly at it like the descended sun dominating through the ages.
This strike had almost transcended the shackles of space, unlocking time itself. A moment of splendor, an instant of glory, shining through the ages and engraving itself in countless minds.
A tearing sound was heard. The entire sky instantly turned crimson, as if dyed by blood, extremely dazzling.
In the sky, under the gaze of countless people, a tiny black dot rapidly enlarged until it was like a mountain, crashing down with a rumble. Before it even landed, it gave off a suffocating feeling. This was far too terrifying.
At that moment, many had almost mistakenly thought the divine light had directly struck down a star from the heavens. As it drew closer, everyone saw it was a living being.
Its body was thousands of miles tall and hundreds of miles wide like a great steel wall plunging from the firmament at extreme speed. On its chest were two gaping holes front and back, blood flowing out ceaselessly. The crimson sky was dyed by its blood.
Despite such a terrifying injury, the giant beast did not perish. Its formidable life force was evident, for even a wisp of its aura could make all of Heavenly Path Sect’s cultivators tremble and kneel.
It was certain – if this enormous creature was at its peak, a single glance could have doomed their entire sect to eternal damnation. Yet now, such a powerful being had been reduced to this. How could they not be filled with terror?
As the shadow grew larger, in the end, a loud boom was heard! Everyone in the Heavenly Path Sect felt the ground sink and tremble under their feet.
Immediately after, smoke and dust billowed over from afar, enveloping a radius of hundreds of miles. Before anyone could check the situation, an enormous palm reached out from the central hall of the Heavenly Path Sect.
This palm was like the hand of the heavens, clenching in midair. In an instant, an illusory figure was grabbed from the giant beast’s body as if by the heavens themselves..
