“It’s him!”
Divine King Body Luo Chen’s eyes widened in surprise. Isn’t this the guy who was the oriole behind the cicada in Calamity Ancient City? He actually appeared?
Similar to Luo Chen’s reaction were Yu Honglei and the other two Seven Fiend Star Envoys, but they knew more about Chu Ying.
“The Nine Calamities Scripture was snatched by him, and the nameless tablet is also in his hands…” Yu Honglei’s beautiful eyes glowed with a strange brilliance, like shimmering, crystal-clear Glass.
“This damn guy! Why is he here too!” Feng Xiao, however, was filled with hatred.
Because the heaven mending stone was in Chu Ying's hands, and he couldn't get it back; he was not Chu Ying's match.
Feng Xiao quietly clenched his fists. Once they left the Immortal Tomb, he would definitely report this matter to his Family, demanding that this person hand over the heaven mending stone, and also make him realize the consequences of snatching something from the Feng Family…
“Greetings, Brother Chu.”
“I didn’t expect Brother Chu to come here, but then again, I feel it’s to be expected.”
At this moment, Taichu Holy Son and Five Elements Holy Son at the banquet successively stood up, cupped their fists, and spoke to Chu Ying.
On that day at the Heaven and Earth Peach Banquet on Creation Island in the North Nether Sea, they had personally experienced Chu Ying’s formidable strength, and it was still fresh in their minds.
Moreover, they were also clear that although Chu Ying was not the Holy Son of any Holy Land, nor the successor of an Ancient Family.
But behind him stood a terrifying figure, the Demon Clan’s White-browed Eagle King.
According to the information obtained by their Holy Lands, after the Heaven and Earth Peach Banquet, a great battle erupted in the Southern Underworld Heavenly Pool of the North Nether Sea, but the result was that a Half-Step Great Saint Old Ancestor of the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan, as well as Peng Saint, were heavily injured and fled in defeat.
The strength and imposing aura displayed by White-browed Eagle King were definitely not those of someone nearing the end of his Lifespan as a Half-Step Great Saint; rather, he seemed to be on the verge of entering the Great Saint realm.
Therefore, the Holy Lands behind them both warned them not to become enemies with Chu Ying unless necessary, and that it would be best to befriend him.
“So it’s Brother Yan and Brother Yang, a pleasure to meet you.” Chu Ying smiled slightly, nodding gently to the two of them.
Although Chu Ying wasn't entirely clear about the specific situation here, he could make some educated guesses.
Naturally, he also noticed Du Mao, who was in the same place as him.
An old “friend” indeed, hehe…
“Brother Chu? Could he be that Chu Ying?” The young Tianjiao of the Eastern Wilderness were astonished to see Taichu Holy Son and Five Elements Holy Son actually taking the initiative to greet the person who had descended onto the arena, with hints of apprehension in their expressions.
On the arena, Chu Ying scanned his surroundings, wanting to see who was present.
He glanced over Divine King Body Luo Chen, Jiang Clan Royal Body Jiang Wudao, Thunder Punishment Holy Son Lei Aotian, and others, paying them no mind. When he saw Feng Xiao, he was even more disdainful, merely a defeated opponent.
His gaze then shifted, falling upon the group of Heavenly Daughters.
“Little Brother Chu, it’s been a while since we parted ways at Tongtian River, Sister misses you a little~” Yu Honglei said with a half-smile, a hint of alluring crimson on her fair and charming face, her voice soft and captivating, enchanting one’s soul.
The two women beside her, Orange Moon Star Envoy and Flying Fish Star Envoy, also stared fixedly at Chu Ying.
They seemed eager to know what kind of strength this person possessed to repeatedly seize opportunities from Young Master Di Yi's calculations.
“Red Desire Star Envoy, please don’t make such jokes. I don’t want to be targeted by Netherworld First Grade Hall.”
Chu Ying’s expression was calm, and he wasn’t afraid of Yu Honglei and the others.
Even if the so-called leader of the Seven Fiend Star Envoys, Black Sword Star Envoy, was here, he wouldn't flinch in the slightest.
His gaze shifted, and Chu Ying saw the three Holy Daughters of Big Dipper from Eastern Linjieshi: Jade Balance, Open Yang, and Celestial Balance.
And they too were curiously sizing up Chu Ying.
“According to those Holy Sons and Tianjiao, this person once suppressed Calamity Child Du Mao?” The three secretly transmitted their voices, their eyes shining brightly. They didn’t believe in baseless rumors, nor did they think that the Divine King Body of Tianchu Luo Family, the Saintess of Yaoguang Holy Land, and others would speak without cause.
Chu Ying’s gaze did not linger.
Qiu Lingsu, dressed in simple, light-colored clothes, entered his vision.
Chu Ying felt that there was a faint, almost imperceptible melancholy hidden between this woman’s beautiful brows.
Without makeup, she was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, and her ethereal, lotus-like temperament made one’s heartstrings tremble without a breeze, stirring three parts pity, three parts care, and four parts possessiveness.
At this moment, Qiu Lingsu was also looking at Chu Ying. A hint of apology appeared in her eyes, and she slightly lowered her head, avoiding Chu Ying’s somewhat impolite gaze.
“Cough!”
Chu Ying felt secretly awkward and couldn't continue staring at her, but the next person he saw made his expression quite unnatural.
“It’s been a long time since we parted ways at Tongtian River, Brother Chu. How have you been recently?”
A woman’s voice, containing an inexplicable meaning, a hint of resentment and faint anger, as if questioning, rang out.
But upon careful consideration, one could even detect a hint of lingering resentment.
This woman was none other than Yaoguang Saintess, Xi Yao.
The Eastern Wasteland prodigies looked surprised, it sounded like… the Yaoguang Saintess and this mysterious figure seemed to have some unspeakable secret?
Little did they know.
Xi Yao’s eyes held anger; she hadn’t even settled the score with Chu Ying yet!
“Very well, very well!”
“Today is not convenient, but given the Opportunity, I will certainly seek out Fairy Xiyao for a chat.”
Chu Ying’s expression returned to normal, but he wondered, since Xi Yao was here, why hadn't he seen Yaoguang Holy Son?
Could it be that Yaoguang Holy Son didn't come to Great Dream Immortal Mausoleum this time?
As for the remaining people, Chu Ying merely glanced at them and quickly moved on.
He saw Zixia Holy Maiden, and he also saw Yao Ruoxi.
But just as he had said before, they were already strangers to each other, with no further ties.
Furthermore, regarding the Tianjiao from the Endless Sea, although Chu Ying didn't know their origins, he remained calm.
The only one that slightly caught his attention was Wen Qingfeng, whom he felt was a notch stronger than the other Cultivators around him.
“Surname Chu, have you seen enough?”
At this moment, Du Mao’s voice, suppressing killing intent and hatred, came through.
Chu Ying turned around, his expression composed as he faced this unlucky fellow whom he had twice intercepted and harmed.
It must be said, Calamity Child Du Mao, his life is truly tough!
This guy was placed by him in the side effect slot, and after so many side effects, not only did he endure, but he also opened Eight Cave Heavens, his strength so formidable…
If Chu Ying didn't have a cheat, he would even suspect if this guy was the real protagonist.
As for those still in his side effect slot, Golden Peng Prince is probably not far from death, unless the Old Ancestor of the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan takes action to perform Nirvana or similar cultivation for him.
And Ye Junfan, far away in Tai Xuan Holy Land, even though he seems fine at the moment, Chu Ying is certain his condition is not good.
Otherwise, his figure should be within the Immortal Tomb.
As an Ancient Sacred Body, it's impossible for him to not participate in the pursuit of opportunities appearing in the Eastern Wilderness every single time, right?
After all, Chu Ying didn't see Ye Junfan in Tongtian River, which indicates that Ye Junfan was most likely in Tai Xuan Holy Land at that time.
Not to mention Old Peng Saint, and finally this Du Mao.
After a long journey, this guy was acting as if nothing had happened. Chu Ying could only guess that the other party's Calamity Physique contained something miraculous, and furthermore, as a descendant of the Calamity Forbidden Zone, the other party must have also cultivated the “Nine Calamities Scripture”.
The Nine Calamities Scripture, this mysterious and terrifying ancient scripture, is actually very powerful, capable of resolving many “calamities”.
Chu Ying’s side effects, to others, were all unprovoked disasters.
Ultimately, they all fell within the scope of the “Nine Calamities”.
Even someone as strong as Golden Peng Prince, or as lucky as Ye Junfan, couldn't withstand them, but Calamity Child Du Mao was able to endure and even grow stronger with each setback, increasing his cultivation and strength.
Thinking of this, Chu Ying narrowed his eyes.
He also cultivated the Nine Calamities Scripture, so he naturally understood its formidable power, which was definitely not inferior to that of a Great Emperor Ancient Scripture.
It seems that this Du Mao will definitely be a formidable opponent for him, perhaps even a fated enemy.
