33: Chapter 33 Don't speak, I'll take you away from here.

Dongxuan Imperial City.

"Have you heard? A Great Demonic Cultivator has come to our East Xuan Empire. In just half a day, not a single person in the entire Dongxuan Sect survived."

"I know about this. My cousin is an inner disciple of the Dongxuan Sect. He just happened to be away from the Dongxuan Sect that day, otherwise, he would likely have become a pile of bones too."

"I heard from my cousin that the Dongxuan Sect is covered in bones and rivers of blood."

"And I also heard that the three words 'Devil King Chu' are carved on the main hall."

"Devil King Chu? I've never heard of him, but I wonder if His Majesty will take action after this incident."

At this moment, Chu Chen had already mingled into Dongxuan Imperial City.

The entire Dongxuan Imperial City was discussing the destruction of the Dongxuan Sect.

"Oh! Don't mention it; the Dongxuan Imperial Family hasn't been peaceful lately either."

"I heard a demonic woman snuck into the dragon vein, and His Majesty is currently doing everything in his power to capture her. How would he have any spare time to deal with this?"

"That demonic woman seems to be called something like Xuan, oh right, Hua Xuan."

Hua Xuan?

Chu Chen remembered Hua Xuan telling him that she wanted to seize the East Xuan Empire's dragon vein. It seemed the person captured was undoubtedly her.

This foolish woman. He had told her he would help her destroy the East Xuan Empire, and now look, she acted alone and got caught.

The dragon vein location of the Dongxuan Imperial Family.

"Hua Xuan, don't put up a futile struggle. You've already let other men play with you, so why not let me? It's all the same who plays with you."

Zhang Long's greedy gaze swept over Hua Xuan's delicate body.

"Zhang Long, if I get out alive, I will definitely kill you," Hua Xuan said, her eyes full of killing intent.

Hua Xuan had returned to retrieve the demon sealing stone, but she hadn't expected Zhang Long to know she was coming back.

He had taken the demon sealing stone in advance and had now forced her into a desperate situation.

"When you returned to the upper reaches and slaughtered my people, I guessed that it was you who had returned."

"So I set an ambush in advance, and I didn't expect to actually wait for you."

"What, did that Chu Chen not come with you, or did he discard you after playing with you?"

Zhang Long laughed triumphantly: "Don't worry, Hua Xuan, I won't look down on you. I will cherish you well. Do you know how much I like you?"

"Even in my dreams, I often dream of you doing that happy thing with me," Zhang Long said with a lewd smile.

Hua Xuan said with a look of disdain: "Pah! Filthy, shameless, disgusting! Even if I die, I won't let you touch me."

Zhang Long was not angry at all. "It's fine, even a corpse will do."

"Wait until the Fire Demon Sea consumes your spiritual energy; when that time comes, I will definitely cherish you well."

Hua Xuan's expression was ugly. Without the demon sealing stone, the seal within her body could not be undone, and now this Fire Demon Sea was slowly devouring her spiritual energy bit by bit.

It wouldn't be long before she would likely fall into the Fire Demon Sea due to the depletion of her spiritual energy.

If she were to die, that would be one thing, but if she fell into Zhang Long's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

In a trance, the shadow of Chu Chen appeared in Hua Xuan's mind, and she immediately shook her head.

Why would I think of him? Even if he came, it would just be to be buried with me.

Thinking of this, Hua Xuan mocked herself: "Forget it, even if I have to die, I must die with some dignity."

Hua Xuan slowly closed her eyes, no longer resisting the erosion of the Fire Demon Sea, and the protective barrier on her body dissipated along with it.

However, a familiar voice sounded in her ear.

"Foolish woman, why are you so desperate? Isn't it just a dragon vein? I'll seize it for you."

Hua Xuan felt her body being lifted, and after hearing that familiar voice, she opened her eyes.

That familiar face came into view.

"Chu Chen!!"

"Don't speak, I'll take you away from here," Chu Chen said softly.

For some reason, when Hua Xuan saw Chu Chen, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace in her heart.

"Mm!!"

Seeing the suddenly appearing youth ruin his good deed, Zhang Long immediately shouted angrily: "Brat, who are you? Hand over the woman in your hands to me, and I can spare your life."

Chu Chen carried Hua Xuan and walked towards Zhang Long step by step. His powerful aura immediately forced him to retreat two steps.

Realizing this, Zhang Long immediately felt a sense of humiliation; he had actually been scared by the youth before him.

If this were spread, he, the Emperor of the East Xuan Empire, would be ridiculed by everyone in the world.

"Brat, you are courting death!"

Zhang Long's Cave-Heaven Realm Fifth Layer cultivation suddenly erupted, and six Cave-Heavens manifested behind him.

(Note: Opening six Cave-Heavens or less belongs to ordinary people; seven Cave-Heavens belongs to a genius; eight Cave-Heavens belongs to a top-tier prodigy; nine Cave-Heavens belongs to a peerless prodigy.)

"Chu Chen, be careful. If it doesn't work, just run away yourself; don't worry about me," Hua Xuan said worriedly.

She knew Chu Chen's talent was much stronger than an ordinary person's, but he was not, after all, in the ranks of top-tier prodigies.

Wanting to fight across ranks was almost impossible, let alone against Zhang Long, who was at the Cave-Heaven Realm Fifth Layer.

However, Chu Chen acted as if he hadn't heard, his eyes fixed on Zhang Long.

"Hand over the dragon vein, and I can allow your bloodline to continue."

"Swish!" A sound of breaking through the air rang out, and dozens of figures surrounded Chu Chen.

Among these figures, the weakest were at the Mortal Shedding Realm, and there were not a few at the Cave-Heaven Realm, but basically, they were all at the Cave-Heaven Realm First to Second Layer.

"Brat, you must not have woken up yet. This is the Dongxuan Imperial Family. Not to mention His Majesty at the Cave-Heaven Realm Fifth Layer, even we alone can easily kill you."

"Have you all considered it?" A scarlet light bloomed in Chu Chen's eyes.

"I have given you all a chance. I usually don't take action, but once I do, I cut weeds and eliminate the roots."

The Thunder Domain expanded, and in an instant, everyone present felt their cultivation suppressed a little.

Thunder Extreme Intent.

"Whoosh!" A blue light source shot out from between Chu Chen's eyebrows.

It weaved through the crowd at high speed, and a moment later, the blue light source returned to between Chu Chen's eyebrows.

Those who had just been mocking Chu Chen were all destroyed in soul, leaving only empty shells, and they fell from the air to the ground one after another.

Seeing this, Zhang Long was shocked and incoherent.

In an instant, he had killed a group of Mortal Shedding Realm cultivators, including several big cultivators of the Cave-Heaven Realm First and Second Layer.

Zhang Long definitely couldn't do it himself. Who exactly was this youth in front of him?

Similarly, Hua Xuan in Chu Chen's arms was also full of shock and suspicion. "You... when did you become so powerful?"

Chu Chen looked down at Hua Xuan. "I have always been this powerful; it's just that you haven't discovered it."

Zhang Long looked at Chu Chen with a vigilant gaze.

"Who exactly are you? Such methods certainly aren't those of an unknown person. When did my East Xuan Empire offend a powerhouse like you?"

"Chu Chen."

When Zhang Long heard these two words, his brows furrowed tightly. He was all too familiar with this name; the Dongxuan Sect had been destroyed by Chu Chen.

He had originally planned to wait for the ancestor to come out of seclusion before going to find Chu Chen, but now this Chu Chen had actually come to his door first.

"So you are Chu Chen, the old lover of this slut?"

"Hand over the dragon vein and the demon sealing stone in your hands, and commit suicide. I don't want to do it myself," Chu Chen said with icy eyes.

Zhang Long sneered. He had thought the person in front of him was an old monster who had regained his youth, but he didn't expect it to be a Demonic Cultivator from the barren land in the lower reaches.

It must be that he had a secret treasure on him; otherwise, how could a lower-reach cultivator cultivate so quickly?

Thinking of this, Zhang Long regained his arrogant posture.

"I will also give you a choice: put down the woman in your arms and commit suicide."
