49: Chapter 49 The Supreme Elder of Huayuan Holy Land, Heavenly Dao Armor

A golden rainbow flashed across the sky and instantly appeared before the old man.

The golden rainbow dissipated, revealing a majestic middle-aged man.

In an instant, an indescribably terrifying force swept toward the old man like a surging, violent wave, instantly engulfing him.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the old man's body was sent flying backward as if struck by a heavy hammer. He spat out a mouthful of blood.

The terrifying force slammed into him with the weight of Mount Tai.

The old man's body trembled violently, and his bones emitted an unbearable cracking sound.

He struggled desperately, only to find himself completely unable to break free from the shackles of this powerful force.

"Grand Elder!!" Hua Xuan cried out.

She then rushed at high speed toward Chu Chen.

The middle-aged man looked at Hua Xuan, "Holy Maiden, I have finally found you."

He then glanced coldly at the old man, "Scum, you dare to try and kill the Holy Maiden of my Huayuan Holy Land? You are simply courting death."

At this moment, the old man looked at the middle-aged man in disbelief. They were both in the Immortal Bridge Realm, so why was he so strong?

"Sir, I did not know this young girl was the Holy Maiden of Huayuan Holy Land. Had I known, I certainly would not have touched a hair on her."

The middle-aged man turned his cold eyes toward the old man.

"Since you have attacked the Holy Maiden, you must pay with your life!!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to strike, the youth immediately spoke up, "Stop! Even Huayuan Holy Land should not be so overbearing."

"I am Xia Ji, the Young Sect Master of the Azure Dragon Sect. I hope Senior will give the Azure Dragon Sect some face and spare Elder Yang."

Hearing this, a trace of movement appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes.

"Azure Dragon Sect? You are a branch of the Azure Dragon Holy Land!"

Xia Ji replied, "Yes, Senior. My elder brother is the Holy Son of the Azure Dragon Holy Land!!"

"Who is your elder brother?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.

"My brother is Xia Changluo."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man scanned the youth.

Xia Changluo of the Azure Dragon Holy Land—wasn't he the one betrothed to the Holy Maiden?

"I am Fu Sanyuan, Grand Elder of the Huayuan Holy Land."

"If your brother Xia Changluo were here, I would certainly give him face, but as for you, you are still lacking."

Fu Sanyuan flipped his wrist and struck out with his palm.

The next moment, the space above the old man shattered, and a giant golden palm pressed down.

"No... don't...!!" Xia Ji roared.

He then watched helplessly as the old man's body was obliterated by the giant golden palm.

Xia Ji looked at Fu Sanyuan with bloodshot eyes, "What an overbearing Huayuan Holy Land, what a Fu Sanyuan. I will remember you."

"When I return, I will certainly report this to my brother. One day, we will definitely visit the Huayuan Holy Land."

Xia Ji said with a ferocious look in his eyes.

Fu Sanyuan said indifferently, "If I hadn't spared your life today for the sake of your brother Xia Changluo, do you think you would still have the life to speak to me? Get lost."

Xia Ji glared fiercely at Fu Sanyuan before transforming into a streak of light and leaving the scene.

On the other side, Hua Xuan asked Chu Chen with concern, "Brother Chu, are you okay?"

Chu Chen shook his head, "It's nothing. I'll be fine after some recovery."

After Xia Ji left, Fu Sanyuan came to Hua Xuan's side.

"Holy Maiden, we must leave!!"

Hearing this, Hua Xuan looked at Chu Chen with eyes full of reluctance.

"Grand Elder, I don't want to go back."

However, Fu Sanyuan simply shook his head, "Holy Maiden, this matter is not for me to decide."

"Besides, ever since you went missing, the Holy Master has been furious."

"The entire Holy Land has been searching for your whereabouts. If you do not return now, I am afraid it will cause even greater trouble."

Hua Xuan bit her lip gently, tears swirling in her eyes, "But... but I really don't want to go back."

Fu Sanyuan sighed and said earnestly, "Holy Maiden, your status is special; there are some things you cannot do as you please."

"I understand the pain in your heart, but I cannot go against the sect rules and the Holy Master's orders."

Chu Chen looked at Fu Sanyuan, "I have heard from Xuan'er that you only want to use her as a tool for political marriage for the Holy Land."

Hearing this, Fu Sanyuan sneered, "Junior, what do you know! Since the Holy Maiden enjoys the privileges of the Holy Land, she must naturally make contributions to the Holy Land."

"While you worry about the Holy Maiden, you should worry about yourself first!!"

"With the Immortal Bridge Realm Blood Induction Curse, I'm afraid you won't live much longer."

Fu Sanyuan then said to Hua Xuan, "Holy Maiden, we should go back."

"You cannot take her away!!" Chu Chen blocked the path in front of Hua Xuan.

He looked at Fu Sanyuan with a determined gaze and communicated with Ming Yuan via telepathy.

Ming Yuan sighed softly, "Chu Xiaozi, I will not intervene unless you are at death's door. Once I take action, it will attract the attention of those taboos."

"You will only die faster."

Looking at Chu Chen standing in front of her, Hua Xuan was filled with mixed emotions. She didn't want to leave, but if she didn't, the Grand Elder would certainly attack Brother Chu.

Sure enough, Fu Sanyuan looked at Chu Chen with cold eyes.

"Junior, if you do not step aside, do not blame me for being ruthless."

"No!!" Hua Xuan said, "Grand Elder, I will go back with you."

"Do not harm Brother Chu."

Hua Xuan then looked at Chu Chen with a tender expression.

"Brother Chu, I have to go back, but I will wait for you to come find me."

"Okay?"

"Xuan'er!! Don't worry, I won't let him take you away."

To his surprise, Hua Xuan walked straight toward Fu Sanyuan.

"Brother Chu, I have decided to return to the Huayuan Holy Land. Take care of yourself when I am not by your side."

"Xuan'er...!!" Chu Chen wanted to say something more, but he saw Hua Xuan turn her back. Her voice trembled as she said, "Grand Elder, let's go!!"

"Very well, Holy Maiden," Fu Sanyuan replied.

He then looked at Chu Chen and warned, "Junior, do not have any delusions. Even if the Holy Maiden has developed feelings for you, it is absolutely impossible between you two."

"The Holy Maiden is already betrothed to the Holy Son of the Azure Dragon Holy Land, Xia Changluo. The gap between you is one that can never be bridged in this lifetime."

A flash of rainbow light passed, and Fu Sanyuan took Hua Xuan away from this place.

Chu Chen looked at the departing Hua Xuan, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

Anyone can look down on me, but I alone cannot look down on myself.

Huayuan Holy Land, I, Chu Chen, will come to visit very soon.

"Chu Xiaozi, don't be discouraged. With your physique, in just a few years, you will be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a Holy Land. When that time comes, snatching that little girl back will be a breeze."

"However, the priority right now is to find a place to hide. After a hundred days, once you refine this Immortal Bridge Realm cultivation."

"Your strength will surely increase significantly. Then I will take you to a place where there are many good treasures."

"It can not only help you improve your cultivation but also allow me to restore my source."

"Alright!" Chu Chen nodded.

The priority right now is indeed to improve his cultivation first.

Don't worry, Xuan'er, it won't be long before I come to the Huayuan Holy Land to find you.
