37: Arrival at Jinghong City

At this moment, Lin Jin's eyes were filled with shock. It was actually Su Chen. How was this possible? Was he not dead at all?

From Su Chen's body, Lin Jin felt an extreme sense of oppression. The spiritual power within his body seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, shrinking back and daring not to move, as if it had solidified.

How terrifying!

Did this Young Lord Su Chen actually possess such powerful strength?

Lin Jin had originally thought Su Qingtian was joking with him; he hadn't expected him to be serious!

To possess such powerful pressure, he must be a powerful Cultivator at the Body Integration Stage. If he could obtain the support of a Body Integration Stage expert, who else could compete with him for the position of Crown Prince?

Within the King Jinghong Empire, there were a total of three Body Integration Stage experts: the King Jinghong, the Great General, and the Grand Tutor.

However, the latter two had not appeared for a hundred years, both in seclusion to Cultivate.

In the King Jinghong's rules for the war of succession, it was not stated that Body Integration Stage experts were not allowed to enter. In his view, if a prince could find the help of a Body Integration Stage expert, that was also his own ability.

Su Chen stepped on the void, an aura emanating from him that made people's hearts palpitate, causing everyone present to be terrified to the extreme.

This aura was very faint, but it was countless times more terrifying than the Void Refining stage.

Under the shroud of this aura, they felt as if someone was pricking them with needles, with intense stinging sensations coming from their entire bodies. Even their Divine Soul was the same, causing people's minds to nearly collapse.

The Void Refining stage Cultivators who had come to ambush Lin Jin were now filled with panic.

They had vaguely guessed that Su Chen must be the helper Lin Jin had hired.

Since Lin Jin was actually able to hire a powerful Cultivator at the Body Integration Stage, didn't that mean he was guaranteed to win this war of succession?

At this moment, they were full of regret. They hadn't expected the Seventh Prince, who had the weakest strength, to actually be the one with the most powerful force.

And yet they had targeted the strongest person from the very beginning; if this wasn't courting death, what was?

Su Chen's figure completely stepped out from the Void Realm. He raised his hand and took out a long sword that looked plain and unadorned, containing no power.

Su Chen raised his hand and slashed out. Invisible Sword Qi instantly burst forth, killing towards the distance. There were no fierce fluctuations, nor any special phenomena; everything looked extremely ordinary.

Yet, with just such an ordinary sword strike, the Void Refining Late Stage expert in front of Lin Jin was directly killed.

Following this, Su Chen swung his sword strike after strike; with every swing, one person would die.

In front of Su Chen, they were just like ants.

Most crucially, everyone was unable to move. They could only watch helplessly as they died, unable to do anything. This sense of despair was what caused them the most pain.

In the end, all six were easily killed by Su Chen as if he were chopping melons and vegetables.

With this, the pressure covering the heavens and earth dissipated completely, and Lin Jin's movements returned to normal.

He hurriedly walked towards Su Chen and said respectfully, "Thank you for the rescue, Young Lord Su!"

Although Su Chen was considered a junior, he dared not stand on ceremony or put on airs in front of Su Chen.

This was a Body Integration Stage expert!

Now, whenever he thought of how Su Chen had killed the six Void Refining stage experts, he felt a bit of trepidation in his heart.

If Su Chen had wanted to kill him just now, he estimated it would have been just as simple.

Lin Jin was extremely shocked; Su Qingtian's son's talent was truly too monstrous, actually being a Cultivator at the Body Integration Stage.

To achieve a Breakthrough to the Body Integration Stage at this age, it must be extremely rare even in the entire Xuantian Realm, right?

I'm afraid only those peerless Prodigies of the Saint Clans could possess such talent.

Lin Jin was incomparably envious; Su Qingtian had raised a good son.

Su Chen nodded faintly and said in a calm voice, "It was a small matter, let's go."

Because the Dragon horse carriage had been destroyed, the three of them had no choice but to travel on their own, and Lin Jin once again suppressed his cultivation to the Soul Transformation Stage.

As for Su Chen, the aura on his body had always been at the Soul Transformation Stage.

Zhang An turned his head to look at the two of them and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

How truly cunning!

It was one thing for a Void Refining stage expert to pretend to be at the Soul Transformation Stage, but you, a powerful Body Integration Stage expert, were actually disguising yourself as being at the Soul Transformation Stage as well.

Everything that happened today left him with mixed feelings. Originally, he had owed Lin Jin a massive favor, which was why he had helped him.

He had even prepared himself for certain death because Lin Jin's odds of winning were simply too low, but now his thoughts had undergone a earth-shattering change.

Lin Jin was far from as simple as he had appeared.

Moreover, he now had the help of a powerful Body Integration Stage expert; the probability of seizing the throne was at least ninety percent.

Thinking of this, Zhang An felt incredibly excited, having a feeling of having survived a disaster.

He didn't have to die!

If Lin Jin became the new King, then he could obtain a bright future, just like the current Grand Tutor and the Great General.

These two were the people who had initially assisted the King Jinghong in ascending the throne.

Neither Lin Jin nor Su Chen were moving very fast, so Zhang An took the initiative to take them and tear through the void towards the King Jinghong Empire.

The Five Great Cities and the King Jinghong Empire were only a thousand miles apart, and they had long since entered the King Jinghong Empire. However, their destination was the King Jinghong Empire's royal capital, King Jinghong City.

As a King-level power, the King Jinghong Empire had an extremely vast territory, with a total of twenty-seven prefectures, each being tens of thousands of miles wide, incredibly expansive.

Su Chen also looked around with great interest. He had to admit that the Spiritual Qi in the King Jinghong Empire was indeed much denser than in the Five Great Cities. In such a place, the probability of Heaven And Earth Treasure and Spirit Stone veins appearing was also much higher.

Moreover, the foot traffic here was greater, with any random city being twice the size of Bright Moon City.

After less than two hours, a massive city came into view.

King Jinghong City, we have arrived!

In terms of scale alone, this city was about thirty times the size of Bright Moon City, which was incredibly terrifying.

Su Chen was arranged by Lin Jin in a guest room in the inner courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, and was even specifically provided with three beautiful women to serve him.

Lin Jin said respectfully, "Young Lord Su, if you have any needs, just let me know, and I will do my best to satisfy them."

Su Chen smiled, "Thank you for your trouble."

Seeing that Su Chen seemed to have no desire for further conversation, Lin Jin withdrew from the courtyard.

At the same time, the fact that Lin Jin had returned to King Jinghong City was immediately known by the other princes. Some were very calm, but three people had grave expressions.

Mu Prince's Mansion, this was the First Prince's residence.

At this moment, Lin Mu's expression was extremely gloomy, and he asked coldly, "Still can't reach them?"

An old man stood by his side, nodding with an unsightly expression.

The First Prince took a deep breath, his eyes returning to calmness once again: "This time, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince also made a move. The three of us couldn't take down the Seventh Prince; it seems the Seventh Prince is still hiding his strength, actually being able to resolve even six Void Refining stage experts."

Although his tone was very calm, anyone could hear the monstrous rage beneath that calmness.

This time he had dispatched one Void Refining Late Stage and one Void Refining Middle Stage expert, yet both had died. To him, this was an irreparable loss.

Originally he had nine Void Refining stage experts, but now he only had seven. The gap between him and the Second Prince and Third Prince was immediately narrowed, which made him extremely displeased.

The old man pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Your Highness, this subordinate feels that it is not because of the Seventh Prince."

Lin Mu frowned, "Do you mean to say that other princes were involved?"

The old man nodded, and Lin Mu also showed a thoughtful appearance.

Lin Jin's strength was very poor; this was something everyone knew. Even if he was hiding his true capabilities, the fact that he only had two Void Refining stage experts under his command was very hard to change.

And he himself only had Soul Transformation Stage cultivation; it was impossible for him to kill six Void Refining stage experts.

This could only mean that other princes did not want Lin Jin to die, and they had secretly made a move to protect Lin Jin.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu's expression was filled with coldness, and he snorted coldly, "Wanting to fish in troubled waters? You should see if you have the qualifications."
