345: Come at the right time

“The second way to leave, I cannot be sure. It's just that Cultivators who came here from the outside in the past all chose to leave the Three Great Empires and go beyond the Three Great Empires.”

Xu Youruo said.

“Great Wilderness?”

Chu Ying asked in surprise.

“Not the Great Wilderness. The Great Wilderness is near what you call the Outer Region. There are also secrets hidden there, but Cultivators of our Three Great Empires generally cannot enter the Great Wilderness.”

“Beyond the Three Great Empires is a place further north. There might be a vaster world there, but it's difficult for us to reach such a distant place.”

Xu Youruo's words made Chu Ying feel strange. Could it be that beyond the Three Great Empires, there was also a barrier similar to the one between the Outer Region and the Inner Region?

Unable to enter or exit freely? Requiring certain conditions?

“What is the highest Realm of the strongest individuals in your Three Great Empires?”

Chu Ying thought for a moment and asked again.

Hearing this question, Xu Youruo glanced at Chu Ying as if looking at an idiot. She felt that Chu Ying asked this question purely to gauge whether he could kill the Tianjiao of the Three Great Empires with impunity.

“King!”

“King?”

Chu Ying narrowed his eyes.

“A King is a Venerable. This Realm has already achieved the Dao of Kingship, becoming the King of the Three Great Empires.”

“The Kings of the Three Great Empires are all in the Venerable Realm. In addition, the deans of various academies and institutions also possess the Half-Step Venerable Lord Realm, and some have even reached the Venerable Lord Realm. But besides these individuals, there are definitely other reclusive Kings.”

Xu Youruo said proudly, looking at Chu Ying with a smug expression, seemingly mocking Chu Ying for fantasizing about running rampant in the Three Great Empires.

Chu Ying was slightly surprised.

Because if one were to compare the Archaic martial arts system with the martial arts system of later generations, the Venerable Realm is comparable to the Great Saint Realm!

In the later Eastern Wilderness, Great Saints on the surface were almost nonexistent, not counting Restricted Areas like the Great Dream Immortal Mausoleum.

That is to say, in the Central Province, there should be Great Saint-level existences.

But in the Three Great Empires of this Barren Ancient World, there were at least three Venerable Realm experts comparable to Great Saints, which was truly astonishing.

The Human Emperor of an Imperial Dynasty was in the Venerable Realm, and moreover, he was not just an ordinary Venerable Realm Cultivator.

If one were to count the academies and the hidden Venerable Realm individuals...

The total would be roughly the number of fingers on two hands.

If this world were to appear in the outside world, in the Endless Sea, it's hard to imagine what a huge sensation it would cause.

Perhaps even the Central Province's status as the central land might not be secure then.

“So, how many Venerables does your He Country have?”

Chu Ying recovered his senses, his gaze falling on Xu Youruo.

“What, scared now? Venerable Realm existences, when they don't act, it's fine, but once they do, it's a world-destroying power. No matter how talented and exceptional you are, as long as you haven't reached the Venerable Realm, you'll only be suppressed and instantly killed!”

Xu Youruo spoke coldly, her expression becoming arrogant.

Chu Ying frowned: “Before I'm instantly killed, do you believe I'll instantly kill you first?”

Xu Youruo was startled by Chu Ying's sudden cold words, and then she was both shocked and annoyed when she realized he was just trying to scare her.

“Hmph! My He Country's Xu imperial family has two Venerable Realm Cultivators! My father is the current Human Emperor of He Country, and there's also an Old Ancestor in secluded cultivation!”

“If you have the guts, go kill your way to my He Country's Imperial Palace and see if my father suppresses you!”

Chu Ying nodded secretly. Two Venerable Realm Cultivators meant two Great Saint Realm existences.

An Imperial Dynasty having two Great Saint Realm Cultivators was already terrifying. Even the Imperial Dynasties in the Central Province of the outside world were probably in a similar situation.

“I'm not stupid, what would I do going to your He Country's Imperial Palace?”

Chu Ying said with a chuckle, untying the ropes on Xu Youruo. Of course, he still sealed her cultivation with a Restriction.

However, this way, Xu Youruo could move freely.

“Is it a bit late to let me go now?”

Xu Youruo rubbed her wrists, her eyes cold as she spoke.

“Hm?”

“Did I say I was letting you go?”

Chu Ying asked in confusion: “I'm telling you to quickly send a message to your He Country's Cultivators, telling them to bring a ransom to save you! Don't get it wrong.”

“What?”

Xu Youruo's beautiful eyes widened. She had said so much, telling this Hang Wang how powerful her backing was.

This guy actually still wanted to kidnap her!

And he wanted He Country's Cultivators to bring a ransom to save her? If that were truly the case, then her reputation as a Grand Princess would be completely ruined!

Xu Youruo was about to say something.

Just then, another group of Cultivators, who believed themselves to be highly skilled and bold, came towards the Golden Forest.

Among the group, there were actually three Young Kings! One of them had reached the Array Formation Realm Second Level, while the other two were in the Array Formation Realm First Level, but their auras were also very strong and profound.

“Where's Hang Wang? Get out here!”

“We, the Peach and Plum Three Brothers, would like to experience the strength of you, who dares to monopolize the Golden Forest!”

The burly young man in the Array Formation Realm Second Level had a full beard, but he was actually still of the younger generation.

Chu Ying stood up and walked over.

However, Xu Youruo behind him hurriedly said: “They are Cultivators from my He Country! Don't let them know I'm here too!”

Xu Youruo's face was full of pleading.

If the He Country Cultivators knew she had been suppressed, it would probably cause a huge uproar, and then more Cultivators would come to their deaths.

This would only provoke the anger of the many academies in He Country.

“What right does a prisoner like you have to make demands? Isn't it just right that they're Cultivators from your He Country?”

A smile appeared in Chu Ying's eyes. It was better to come at the right time than to come early!

Chu Ying walked out and saw this group of people, numbering over a hundred, clearly a large force that had gathered.

The three Young Kings stood at the very front, the young man in the middle was very burly, while the two young men on his left and right were more conventional.

“You're Hang Wang, right?”

The burly young man, Li He, narrowed his eyes, staring at Chu Ying and questioning him.

“So what if I am? You've come at just the right time. Xu Youruo has already been suppressed by me. If you want to save her, hand over your Void Spirit Rings.”

Chu Ying said calmly.

“What? Xu Youruo... isn't that the Grand Princess?”

Li He was stunned, a bewildered look on his face, and he couldn't help but look at his two sworn brothers beside him.

“Nonsense!”

“How peerless is the Grand Princess? How powerful is she? How could she be suppressed by a presumptuous nobody like you?”

The black-clothed young man on the right coldly rebuked: “Hang Wang! You have committed heinous crimes by killing many Tianjiao of my He Country, and now you still dare to speak such nonsense?”

“Quickly hand over the treasures on you, and we may spare your life!”

“Which force are you from?”

Chu Ying asked calmly.

“We are from He Country's Xuan Chen Academy!” The gray-robed young man on the left coldly shouted: “Otherwise, be prepared to be killed and expelled from the Void Spirit Realm!”

Xu Youruo, who was in the Golden Forest, heard these people's words and couldn't help but cover her face.

This wave of Xuan Chen Academy Disciples would probably be completely wiped out. Even if Li He and the other two teamed up, no matter how skillfully they cooperated and how telepathic they were,

They were still no match for this abnormally powerful Hang Wang.

“There's no need to prepare.”
