546: Boss

The newcomer nodded, not suspecting anything.

Of course, he knew that the name Chen De used was fake. As the saying goes, anyone who uses their real name here would be too foolish.

For example, he himself wasn't using his real name.

He smiled, "I am Yang Chi. Shall we find another place to talk?"

Chen De stared at him for a moment and then suddenly said, "Alright!"

He had no intention of fighting the person who had appeared this time.

Because he could already tell that the other party's aura was no weaker than the Emperor's.

And they also followed two systems: one Magic Armor Master System and one Unnamed System.

The Magic Armor Master System wasn't as advanced as the Emperor's, but the combined strength of the two systems made him slightly stronger than the Emperor.

Without using the world-descending demonic blade, Chen De wasn't confident in defeating this person.

But if he did use it, it might not be impossible.

Anyway, if he truly encountered a life-threatening situation, Chen De would certainly use it.

Yang Chi gestured, "Please!"

Chen De nodded, letting him lead the way to see where they were going.

Along the way, he was naturally on guard, wary of Yang Chi playing dirty tricks and ambushing Chen De.

As for the mess left in the imperial palace, they didn't need to clean it up.

If the Emperor came out, he would clean it up himself; if not, there was no need to clean it up.

Moreover, Chen De had dealt with the corpses of the powerful individuals quite cleanly, leaving little moisture.

Under conditions of no dampness or rain, they could be preserved much longer than ordinary corpses.

If they could be cured with salt, the effect would definitely be even better.

Finally, Chen De was led outside the Imperial City, in front of a large mountain.

Upon arriving here, he stopped.

Yang Chi did the same, turning to Chen De and saying, "No need to be nervous, there's no ambush here."

With that, he walked to the foot of the mountain, pulled out a stone, and inserted it into a crack in a certain rock.

Then, he pressed various different stones in different sequences.

Some stones were pressed repeatedly, two or three times.

Then, a perfectly sealed rock in the corner, showing no trace of an opening, split down the middle and opened to both sides.

Seeing the entrance wide open, Yang Chi stepped in first, "Please follow me."

He didn't look back as he entered, not at all worried that Chen De wouldn't follow.

Looking at the entrance, Chen De had actually sensed the countless auras inside when he arrived at this mountain.

The weakest of these auras possessed King Level strength.

Therefore, Chen De estimated that this place should be the Descenders' main base.

He hadn't expected someone to be able to gather them all in one place.

However, although there were many powerful individuals inside, King Level still accounted for the majority, with Legendary Level being a minority.

In terms of the intensity of their auras, there were nine others like Yang Chi.

As for those even more powerful than Yang Chi, there was only one.

According to Chen De's estimation, this person must be the one who gathered them.

Finally, Chen De chose to follow the other party and entered the portal together.

Not because he trusted him, but because he trusted that the saber in his hand could deal with them.

Strength was always his greatest confidence.

As Chen De's body fully entered, the rock reclosed from both sides.

It was perfectly sealed, with no trace of an opening.

Yang Chi was not surprised by Chen De following him; instead, he began to introduce the place to him.

"You guessed correctly, this is indeed a base for those of us who have entered here."

"But there's a threshold to enter here; it's not just any cat or dog that can come in."

"You've felt it, right? None of the auras inside are below King Level."

"King Level is the threshold for whether one is qualified to join us."

Then, he turned to Chen De, "It's strange, actually. You're the first one we've discovered who cultivated to Legendary Level before being found."

What Yang Chi said was true. Others were discovered when they were Gold or Diamond.

Some were even discovered when they were ordinary people, while the latest were discovered around King Level.

"When I first arrived, I hid deep in the mountains to cultivate, and only came out after reaching Legendary Level."

Chen De casually made up an excuse, not caring if the other party believed it or not.

"So that's how it is." Yang Chi nodded knowingly, "No wonder I only learned of your esteemed presence so late."

Although Chen De's story was full of holes—the rumors in Kyoto, the disappearance of a large number of Diamonds, the fall of the imperial palace.

And he had personally witnessed Chen De's cultivation increase after absorbing the blood of several people.

Even with all these obviously absurd points, Yang Chi still chose to believe him.

Chen De nodded. He knew that Yang Chi believed a trustworthy person.

No longer focusing on Chen De's past, Yang Chi continued his introduction, saying, "The person I'm about to take you to meet is our boss, the founder, and the Immortal Law Realm expert from outside—Lu Li!"

Upon hearing this name, Chen De paused slightly, because if he remembered correctly.

He was participating in this disciple selection under Yan Zhi's identity, and Yan Zhi's boss was named Lu Li.

In other words, this time Yang Chi brought him directly to his own boss.

In this way, Chen De could directly gain trust, and it wasn't impossible for him to become a trusted confidant and be given important responsibilities.

Thinking of this, his eyes instantly lit up.

Look at how many King Levels and Legendary Levels there were here; taking them all down would definitely be enough for him to break through to the Heaven Realm and beyond Legendary.

Including this boss, Lu Li, Chen De swore, he must be the biggest experience package here.

"My lord, I've returned."

Finally, Chen De was led by Yang Chi to a stone door.

Yang Chi bowed and respectfully transmitted his voice inside, "I've brought back another Descender like us this time. His strength is no less than mine. Would you like to meet him?"

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Here, Yang Chi and Lu Li were in the same realm, and the gap between them might not be that large.

But outside, Lu Li could kill someone like him a thousand times with just a glance.

So, Yang Chi's attitude towards Lu Li was one of utmost respect.

Then the stone door in front of them automatically opened, and this time Chen De was the first to enter.

Before Yang Chi could even speak, Chen De immediately knelt on the ground and tearfully pleaded to the figure seated above,

"Boss, I've finally found you! I knew that a great person like you couldn't possibly be completely silent."

"I never imagined you'd create such a large force. As your subordinate, I am truly fortunate!"

Yang Chi was stunned by this scene, and vaguely, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

Lu Li was also somewhat bewildered by Chen De's posture. Wasn't he a little too enthusiastic?

"You are..."

"Boss, I'm Yan Zhi!"
