123: Chapter 123 Zhuge Jinyu has also arrived?

After Su Chen left back then, she acted as the regent for Great Ning for a full three thousand years.

Later, the last regime of Great Ning collapsed due to incompetence and corruption; she had no intention of continuing to support it, so she went into a deep sleep within a secluded palace.

Another thousand years passed.

It wasn't until the fragments of the Great Ning World merged into Blue Star due to the spiritual energy recovery that she finally woke up.

As one of the strongest in the Great Ning World, she was a highly sought-after prize for every country.

She chose to join Daxia, which had the most similar cultural background to Great Ning at the time, and became a Transcendent Heroic Spirit.

So much time had passed...

Would the man who died right before her eyes really still exist?

Moreover, besides the similarity in aura and his back view, that man on the hillside...

His clothes were completely different, and she hadn't seen his face clearly.

Wait...

This aura?

It really is him!

She could never be mistaken!

Ye Jingjun tried her best to open her eyes for a moment to see more clearly.

But her body's exhaustion no longer allowed it.

The Female Sword Immortal in the red robe went limp, and along with the su chen sword in her hand, she collapsed to the ground.

...

Ten minutes ago, on the other side.

Inside the plane wreckage.

Su Chen suppressed his aura to the absolute limit and sat quietly in the cabin.

He felt the energy fluctuations coming from the battle outside.

Even the tiniest remnants of the battle were enough to make his scalp tingle.

This was definitely not a fight he could intervene in.

Through the gaps in the plane, he squinted and peeked out.

???

Those monsters that only existed in myths and legends.

They were now appearing vividly before him.

Shaking his head, Su Chen forced himself to stay calm.

The aura of those monsters outside was definitely beyond the level he could perceive.

This was simply not something he could handle right now.

Rushing out would be suicide.

The best choice was to stay hidden and use every means to conceal the plane and the survivors.

Waiting... he could only wait.

But who knew if rescue would even come to a place like this?

"System?"

"Is there any high-grade stuff that can shield our aura? The kind that can hide the whole plane."

"If nothing else works, I can buy it on credit."

[Ding. Strong demand from the Host detected.]

[After filtering, the item that best fits the Host's requirements is a gold-tier item—Witch's Spirit Away Cloak, which can perfectly shield the perception of life forms below the fifteenth rank.]

[However, as the Host has not yet unlocked the relevant world, exchange is currently unavailable.]

[Does not meet the conditions for credit; it is recommended that the Host choose another option.]

"Another option? If I had another damn option, would I even be looking for you?!"

Su Chen's eyes turned red with anger.

His powerful mental strength happened to allow him to sense it.

At this moment, of the two sides fighting outside, the human martial artists were already retreating step by step.

Once the monsters finished off those martial artists, they would turn around and come for the plane.

"I'm begging you, give me a hint."

"Otherwise, we're all finished."

The system was silent for a moment, just as Su Chen thought this scammer was going to play dead again.

Its voice actually rang out.

[Hint: Based on the Host's soul-bound item 'Demon Taming Art' (from the second round of investment rewards), the external threatening life forms have a very high initial affinity and a potential tendency to submit to the Host.]

[Warning again: If the Host chooses to hide and gives up on intervening, it will lead to irreversible consequences. The Host may regret it for the rest of his life.]

"What?"

Su Chen was stunned.

Demon Taming Art?

Right, after the second round of investment ended, he did seem to have chosen this reward.

The description was "natural affinity for any monster race."

But are those things outside from a monster race?

Could the Prehistoric Ferocious Beasts from myths barely count?

Affinity?

And a tendency to submit?

"System, are you sure you're not joking?"

"Explain it clearly, what irreversible consequences?"

"Why would I regret it?"

Su Chen pressed for answers.

The system did not respond again.

"Damn it!"

Su Chen cursed under his breath, but the warning the system gave him remained stuck in his heart like a thorn.

What did it mean by "regret it for the rest of his life"?

Did it mean that if he didn't go out to stop them, he'd be dead once those monsters finished their current task?

Right now, Su Chen could only think of this one possibility.

But if that wasn't the case, rushing out now seemed like seeking death...

He gritted his teeth.

To hell with it, I'll go for it.

I'll trust the system once.

Anyway, hiding most likely means waiting to die.

Charge out!

What if that "affinity" really works?

He took a deep breath and slightly released his Seventh-Rank Martial Artist aura, which belonged to a "Sword Immortal" of the Great Ning World that he had just obtained.

At the same time, he activated the "Demon Taming Art" with all his might.

Instantly, he felt a strange fluctuation emanate from himself.

"It seems there really is something to this..."

Then, he suddenly dashed out from the crack in the cabin.

He landed on the snowy slope, with his back to the battlefield.

And then...

He saw a scene that was enough to make his brain freeze.

Those terrifying monsters that were just exuding overwhelming ferocity, the moment he appeared and activated the "Demon Taming Art"...

It was as if a pause button had been pressed.

Then they all knelt down to him in unison.

They knelt so cleanly and decisively, with such piety and awe.

It made him think he was some kind of Descending Monster Emperor or the reincarnation of the Primordial Co-Lord.

Su Chen: "???"

This Demon Taming Art... is the effect a bit too much?!

This is affinity?

This is practically supreme command authority, isn't it?!

[Answering the Host's doubt: Most of the ferocious monsters before you are descended from the ancient era of Daxia. Your 'Demon Taming Art' is ineffective against most monsters awakened under the current spiritual energy recovery background, but it indeed has a miraculous effect on these ancient monster races.]

"So that's how it is..."

Su Chen could even clearly feel that a mysterious connection had been established between him and these kneeling ferocious beasts.

An absolute suppression and dominion originating from the level of bloodline and soul.

He even felt that with a single thought, he could make them live or die.

...

Inside the Wuhou Shrine secret room in the Huaxi Hall of Heroic Spirits.

Zhuge Jinyu was still sitting at the stone table.

Just now, she had received an emergency communication.

From the headquarters of the Huaxi Hall of Heroic Spirits.

The first was that a plane flying from Jianghai to Jinguan City had crashed on the Snowy Plateau and was missing.

The second was that the signals of three Transcendent Heroic Spirits—Ye Jingjun, Cang Mingyue, and Su Daji—had been cut off.

Rescue request priority: Highest.

Executor: Hall Master of the West China Region Hall of Valor, Zhuge Jinyu.

Reason: She was currently the closest and only Transcendent Heroic Spirit capable of surviving and conducting a search and rescue in that kind of energy field.

Frankly speaking, before sending the communication to Zhuge Jinyu, the West China Region Hall of Valor didn't even expect Zhuge Jinyu to take action.

After all.

Transcendent Heroic Spirits were not exactly at the beck and call of the Hall of Valor.

But now, a mysterious entity had awakened on the Snowy Plateau, and three Transcendent Heroic Spirits were missing.

Not just West China, the entire upper echelons of Daxia were in a state of chaos.

At this moment, the only one who could accomplish all this was Zhuge Jinyu.

To everyone's disbelief.

Zhuge Jinyu accepted the mission.
