80: Su Chen has arrived; have I allowed you to leave? (Chapter 3)

On the other side.

Saint Guixu, carrying boundless, majestic power, reached out to grab Immortal Master Yuhua, his formidable strength enveloping everyone from the Su Family as well.

"Thinking you can escape from my hands? You should see if you even have the qualifications."

Saint Guixu's tone was filled with contempt and excitement; he would soon be able to devour these Saint Physiques of the Su Family.

Once he could ascend to an Imperial Physique, not only would his combat power increase significantly, but the upper limit of his cultivation would also rise considerably.

He estimated that after some time, he would be able to Breakthrough to the Saint Emperor Realm.

Although there was only a thin line between a Saint King and a Saint Emperor, the overall concept was entirely different. Once he became a Saint Emperor expert, he would be a powerhouse in the entire Profound Sky Realm.

In just an instant, Saint Guixu had everyone in his grasp. His towering figure was like a giant god, possessing an extremely powerful and intimidating presence.

"It looks like it's going to end like this."

"Saint Guixu is still too powerful. As expected of the Old Ancestor of the Guixu Holy Land."

"Indeed. The difference in strength between a Saint King with a Saint Physique and one without is quite vast."

"I advise you not to think that way. For someone to reach the Saint King Realm without a Saint Physique shows just how uncanny his methods are. Believe it or not, if they truly fought, even if that Daoist couldn't win, he could still escape—and might even have a chance to kill Saint Guixu?"

Discussions continued to ring out from the shadows, but this time, only experts of the Dao-Entry Realm were communicating.

Those in the Origin-Returning Realm no longer dared to watch and had long since vanished.

Although Master Ziyang appeared to be at a disadvantage on the surface, no one looked down on him.

Among Cultivators who could reach the Saint King Realm, who could be a simple character?

Saint Guixu held the group in his hand, a cold smile on his face that sent shivers down one's spine.

Meanwhile, the people of the Su Family were in complete despair.

The enemy they faced this time was simply too powerful. Although the Su Family still had one final trump card they hadn't used, they no longer wished for Su Chen to come.

In their view, even if Su Chen arrived, he would surely be unable to defeat Saint Guixu.

Primarily, Saint Guixu was so powerful that they lacked even a shred of confidence.

Saint Guixu paid no mind to the Su Family members. He turned his head to look behind him, his brow furrowing slightly. Why hadn't that Saint King caught up?

Could it be that, knowing he was no match, he intended to just run for his life?

At this thought, Saint Guixu sneered. At least he had some self-awareness.

Then, he looked around and saw many Dao-Entry Realm Cultivators, and in the distance, quite a few Origin-Returning Realm practitioners carefully observing.

Saint Guixu narrowed his eyes. Under normal circumstances, he really would have wanted to kill everyone who had dared to approach and watch.

However, Cultivators who reached the Dao-Entry Realm usually had some background, such as being vassals of a certain Holy Land.

Right now, his main goal was to devour the Su Family's Saint Physiques and obtain their secrets. There was absolutely no need to spark a conflict with other Saint-Grade forces; it would only invite unnecessary complications.

After some thought, Saint Guixu abandoned his plan to slaughter them.

He looked back at the Su Family members in his palm and said with a sinister grin:

"So many Saint Physiques, truly interesting. Your Su Family's secrets belong to me now."

Gripped by the massive palm, the faces of the Su Family members were filled with despair. They couldn't move at all, unable to even circulate their spiritual power. The gap in strength was simply too large.

Su Qingtian's eyes were full of worry. If this person learned the Su Family's secrets, Su Chen would surely be unable to escape his clutches as well.

Saint Guixu didn't waste any more time and prepared to turn and leave. But just as he was about to move, he suddenly felt his scalp go numb.

His entire mind grew tense, and he spoke toward the high sky in a solemn tone:

"Which expert is there?"

Seeing this, the people who hadn't left yet had looks of bewilderment in their eyes.

Could there be another powerhouse in the shadows?

At that moment.

High above in the endless sky, Su Chen sat cross-legged in the Void Realm. He slightly opened his eyes and looked down.

In truth, he had arrived long ago, but he just hadn't made a move.

With his help, these people of the Su Family had enjoyed a smooth journey with almost no setbacks. It was good for them to learn that there is always someone better and a heaven beyond the heavens.

Thus, Su Chen had remained in the shadows, observing and simultaneously protecting a group of Falling Cloud Sect Disciples.

Now, it seemed, it was about time.

A moment later.

Su Chen slowly drifted down from the high sky. His face was languid, and his expression was incredibly calm.

Within his body, almost no aura was released. He looked just like an ordinary Mortal.

Su Chen!

The Su Family members were instantly shocked, but their hearts held little joy, only worry.

Why did Su Chen come!

In their eyes, as long as the Su Family still had Su Chen, the family hadn't been wiped out, and there would always be a chance for the Su Family to rise again in the future.

But if Su Chen came and something happened to him, then the Su Family would truly be finished.

However, the Su Family members couldn't speak, so they could only use their eyes to plead for Su Chen to leave quickly.

But... Su Chen didn't look at them at all.

On the other side, Saint Guixu's expression was solemn to the extreme. He was actually unable to probe the depth of the cultivation of the person before him.

There were only two possibilities.

Either Su Chen was just an ordinary Mortal without any cultivation, or he was a Cultivator far stronger than himself.

But since Su Chen could fly through the air, how could he possibly be a Mortal? This meant his strength was definitely much greater than his own.

Thinking of this, Saint Guixu's eyes were filled with gravity. He cupped his hands and said:

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask if something is the matter?"

He had never encountered Su Chen before. In Saint Guixu's view, the other party must have also noticed the situation with the Su Family members and come specifically to get a share of the spoils.

This was the only reason he could think of.

Saint Guixu also began to calculate how they should divide these Saint Physiques of the Su Family.

With a Cultivator even stronger than himself involved, it would likely be difficult for him to swallow all of the Su Family's Saint Physiques.

Su Chen's expression was indifferent. Sitting in the Void Realm, he propped up his head with one hand and asked with some curiosity:

"You must be the mastermind who posted the mission at the Hidden Post and put a bounty on the Su Family back then, right? I recall it was something like two million High-Grade Spirit Stones?"

Hearing these words, Saint Guixu's face changed drastically.

What does he mean!

Could it be that he didn't come for these Saint Physiques?

He came... for me!?

Su Chen didn't mention the Su Family's Saint Physiques at all and directly spoke about the mission he had posted at the Hidden Post to kill the Su Family, which made him feel uneasy.

Especially facing an unknown expert, this made him extremely worried.

Although Saint Guixu was nervous, he still said expressionlessly, "What do you mean by this, Fellow Daoist?"

Hearing Saint Guixu's tone, the Su Family members' eyes were filled with shock.

Saint Guixu's tone was full of wariness. Could it be that Su Chen's strength could rival this Saint?

Was his strength actually this formidable?

Seeing Su Chen appear, Master Ziyang in the distance also breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly a bit afraid that his young Disciple would be killed as well.

"What do I mean?"

Su Chen chuckled, his voice as calm as water. "It's quite simple. You can't block my investigation, because you... are simply too, too weak. A worm cannot possibly achieve such a thing."

"So, there must be someone else who wants to destroy the Su Family, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Saint Guixu's pupils constricted sharply. He could no longer maintain his composure, and a look of terror spread across his face.

In the next instant, he completely beastified, transforming into a wolf-like creature.

Then, without looking back, Saint Guixu tore through the Void Realm and fled into the distance at an extreme speed, much faster than when he was chasing Immortal Master Yuhua earlier.

Su Chen's expression remained indifferent as he said calmly, "Did I give you permission to leave?"
