“Heavenly Demon Alliance?” Su Chen said calmly. He glanced at them and then at Mu Qingxue’s injuries, asking, “Junior Sister, are these people your friends?” “Friends?” Hearing this sentence, Zhu Jiu and the others trembled violently, feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cave. They were not friends with Mu Qingxue. Moreover, the reason why Mu Qingxue could be reduced to this state was entirely because of them!
However, from the very beginning, Mu Qingxue’s master had already fallen into their hands. No matter how one looked at it, Mu Qingxue was more like a rogue cultivator than a sect disciple.
But who would have expected that she had a senior brother at the Great Saint Realm? Logically speaking, in a sect, there were both Great Saint Realm powerhouses and an existence like her master. No matter what, it was impossible to let a remnant soul wander outside! They could easily find some materials to create a brand-new body.
However, the current situation was just that strange. Mu Qingxue and her master wandered from the East Barrens to the Southern Region. It was impossible to tell that they had a powerful background behind them!
“No.” When Mu Qingxue heard this, she shook her head slightly and said in a deep voice, “To be honest, these people have been chasing after me for some time. Moreover, my master has already been…captured by the Heavenly Demon Alliance!”
“Ah…” Upon hearing Mu Qingxue’s words, these people were completely dumbfounded and shouted in horror. Even though they had already guessed that Mu Qingxue wouldn’t speak favorably about them in front of her senior brother, the fact that she actually spoke those words sent chills down their spines. Mu Qingxue’s words, in an intangible way, were akin to pronouncing their death sentence. Anyone who learned that their junior sister was being relentlessly hunted down, left in such a miserable state, would likely not stand idly by.
“Run! Split up and run!” At this moment, Meng Xi shouted. She did not dare to hesitate. Before she could finish her sentence, she jumped up and urged the wolf under her to turn into a beam of divine light and fly into the distance. The others did not want to fall behind either. Everyone chose a direction and fled crazily, hoping that they could escape from this place today.
“Escape? Do you think you can escape?” Su Chen saw them fleeing in all directions and smiled.
Boom!
As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, an extremely terrifying aura spread out and instantly enveloped the surrounding tens of thousands of miles. The people who had just escaped were unable to resist at all and were directly fixed in the void.
“S…Senior, please spare my life! Senior, I was wrong. 1 shouldn’t have surrounded Senior’s junior sister!” The middle-aged creature looked extremely pale. If he had not been frozen in the void, he would probably have already been on his knees begging for mercy. The last bit of chance to escape was completely shattered the moment Su Chen released his power.
Su Chen was indifferent to this scene. He tapped lightly with his finger. The dozens of living beings present, even the most powerful powerhouses at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, turned into clouds of blood mist at this moment.
Witnessing the scene before her, Mu Qingxue’s blue pupils involuntarily contracted. She had long been aware of her senior brother’s strength. Just now, she had witnessed only a glimpse of his power, like the tip of an iceberg. Yet, seeing it again now still left her profoundly shaken. Any one of these people could almost force her into a desperate situation. However, when they faced her senior brother, they appeared feeble, akin to ants. They lacked even the strength to resist.
“Let’s go.” After dealing with these people, Su Chen casually threw out a flying Dao weapon and walked up with Mu Qingxue. The two of them sat inside. Su Chen casually asked, “Junior Sister, are you here today to find a way to save your master?”
“Yes!” Mu Qingxue nodded when she heard that. Her beautiful, ice-blue eyes were filled with killing intent. Her master had been captured by the Heavenly Demon Alliance. At this moment, she did not know what kind of situation her master was facing. Perhaps the other party was using countless vicious methods to force her to speak.
After all, Mu Qingxue might not be clear about her master’s background, but the strength her master possessed during her lifetime was undoubtedly unquestionable. Other than her master’s evaluation of her senior brother, which was slightly wrong, nothing else could escape her master’s judgment. From their previous interactions, Mu Qingxue felt that her master was at least a quasi-emperor, or perhaps…a great emperor! As for the exact strength level, only her master knew.
“Do you have any ideas?” Su Chen asked.
“There are some…” Mu Qingxue did not hide anything. With a flip of her palm, a jade slip appeared in her palm. She handed it to Su Chen and said, “This is a map that Master left for me. There are some records about the Chaotic Sea Star Region. At the end of this map, there is a record of the whereabouts of a quasi-emperor.”
“A Quasi-Emperor Realm expert?” Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow. He took the jade slip, scrutinized it for a moment, and then made a decision in his mind. In the next moment, he formed hand seals.
Boom!
The flying Dao weapon emitted a roar, changing direction in the starry sky, swiftly heading towards a new destination.
“It seems like you’ve encountered quite a few opportunities recently! Your cultivation hasn’t fallen either. With the assistance of this quasi-emperor’s body, perhaps you can catch up to my pace in the future,” Su Chen joked.
Afterward, he casually threw the jade slip back.
“What are you saying, Senior Brother? How could 1 dare to compare myself to Senior Brother? Currently, I only have one thought, and that is to save my master…” Mu Qingxue spoke respectfully.
However, before she could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly changed as she looked at Su Chen with a strange expression. Countless questions suddenly appeared in her mind. It seemed like… it seemed that after she mentioned her master, her senior brother wasn’t curious at all. Even… he didn’t inquire about her master or why she had come to the Southern Region.
One must know, back in the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, she had never taken a master. She was a Great Mystery Sacred Sect disciple but sought an outsider as her master. This was an extremely taboo matter in any force, let alone the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. However, her senior brother seemed to have known everything long ago and wasn’t surprised at all.
“You must be curious about how I know that you have a master, right?” Su Chen smiled. His eyes were extremely deep as if they could see through all of Mu Qingxue’s thoughts, causing her to lower her head..
