Chapter 2518 - 2208: Just as Their Pavilion Master Guessed

In the skies above the Great Zhou Capital, a purple flying boat rapidly approached from afar.

As the flying boat reached the skies over Dazhou, it instantly halted.

On the flying boat, Chen Wanrong, dressed in white, stood on the deck, her face pale, devoid of any color.

The scene from earlier still echoed in her mind.

One move, Lu Chen only used one move.

Moreover, Lu Chen seemed not to have used any cultivation technique, nor any spiritual weapon; he just pointed a finger at Pan Rui, and Pan Rui turned to ash, not even leaving a Divine Soul behind.

Based on the power Lu Chen just displayed, he had definitely reached the Emperor Realm.

Even if Lu Chen had received an inheritance, he couldn’t possibly have broken through to the Emperor Realm in such a short time.

Could it be that this power is one-time only?

Once released, it could not be used a second time?

But regardless of whether it’s one-time or not, they didn’t dare to gamble.

Fortunately, the task given to her by their Pavilion Master was already completed.

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong took out the red flower sedan from her space ring.

The moment the red flower sedan was taken out, it instantly expanded from palm-sized to a normal-sized sedan.

The sedan emitted a red glow, which, when it enveloped her head, made her feel dizzy.

As expected, just as their Pavilion Master had speculated, this red flower sedan reacted to Lu Chen.

In that case, she should also leave the Border Wilderness and report this matter to their Pavilion Master as soon as possible.

With this in mind, Chen Wanrong continued to activate the flying boat, heading toward Central State.

Behind Chen Wanrong’s flying boat, a massive golden warship was slowly following her vessel.

That was the warship of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty.

At this moment, Li Shuo was on that golden warship, watching as Chen Wanrong’s flying boat didn’t stop at the Great Zhou Capital but headed towards Central State.

Li Shuo pondered for a moment, then ordered a portion of the Great Yan soldiers to remain in Dazhou to monitor Lu Chen’s every move.

Meanwhile, he also maneuvered the flying boat back to Central State.

In Li Shuo’s view, since even the people from the Tianji Pavilion had chosen to retreat, there was no point in him staying here.

The power just now was too terrifying, causing lingering fear even upon recollection.

He also suspected it was a one-time use, but he didn’t dare to bet. What if Lu Chen could unleash that power a second time, and he directed it at him? Wouldn’t he end up like Pan Rui?

He was a dignified Saint Realm expert; he couldn’t fall in such a godforsaken Border Desolate Land.

In a small town of Dazhou, inside a restaurant.

Three elders sat by the window, watching the quickly passing flying boats outside, and each felt a bit puzzled in their hearts.

What is going on?

Why are all the forces from Central State retreating?

Could it be that the ancient inheritance has already been taken by someone?

The three exchanged glances, and while a certain flying boat was inattentive, they immediately trapped it.

The Holy Land disciples on the trapped flying boat turned pale with fright upon realizing the trap.

They were still recovering from the terrifying scene earlier, and now they were caught while fleeing, making them feel as if disaster had befallen them.

The leading disciple of the group cupped his hands respectfully toward the sky, asking, "Senior, may I ask why you’ve blocked our path?"

An elder appeared in front of the flying boat; his aura was restrained, without releasing any pressure.

However, the disciples of the Holy Land were not foolish. Being able to instantly control their flying boat meant the elder’s strength was at least above theirs.

Among them was a King Realm expert, so for the elder to act against them, he must at least be an Emperor Realm expert.

The leading disciple once again respectfully inquired, "May I ask what business Senior has with us?"

The elder asked, "Why are you all leaving Dazhou?"

Hearing the elder’s question, the flying boat’s disciples breathed a sigh of relief. So that’s what he was asking about.

It seemed this elder wasn’t aware of what had just happened.

The leading disciple immediately responded respectfully, "Reporting to Senior, earlier, Lu Chen left the ruins and instantly killed a Saint Realm expert of the Wind and Cloud Tower. We were afraid of being caught in the crossfire, so we planned to leave the Border Wilderness."

Upon hearing the disciple’s response, Song Hong and the other two Tianji Pavilion elders concealed in the dark were stunned.

Lu Chen instantly killed a Saint Realm expert?

Wasn’t Lu Chen only at the King Realm?

A King Realm killing a Saint Realm expert?

Once he recovered, Song Hong continued to ask, "How does Lu Chen, a Border Desolate Native, possess such power? Isn’t he only a King Realm? Could it be he used some magic treasure?"

The disciple replied, "Reporting to Senior, we don’t know. We only saw Lu Chen leave the ruins and point a finger at the Saint Realm expert of the Wind and Cloud Tower."

"Then a black light shot from his finger, instantly piercing through that Saint Realm expert’s body. Following that, the Saint Realm expert’s body and soul... both turned to ash..."

Recalling the scene from earlier, the disciple trembled all over, drenched in cold sweat.

The disciple continued, "Moreover, Lu Chen is no longer just at the King Realm. After leaving the ruins, he was exuding the aura of an Emperor Realm Spirit Martial Artist."

Song Hong furrowed his brows in a moment of disbelief.

Emperor Realm? What a joke?

For Lu Chen, a Border Desolate Native, reaching the King Realm in such a short time was already terrifying. If he now broke through to the Emperor Realm, wouldn’t he reach the Saint Realm in another decade or two?

If given a century, wouldn’t Central State gain another Emperor Realm expert?

At this point, the leading disciple on the flying boat timidly looked at Song Hong and asked tentatively, "Senior, may we leave?"

Song Hong regained his senses. He stopped the flying boat mainly to inquire and didn’t intend to make things difficult for them.

The flying boat carried a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist, who would typically have life-saving means at their disposal.

Killing a King Realm expert could risk exposing their identities.

Moreover, as three dignified Saint Realm experts, they had no interest in targeting a King Realm.

Subsequently, Song Hong released the flying boat from his control and calmly said, "You may go."

The disciple quickly replied, "Thank you, Senior."

With that, he piloted the flying boat to continue towards Central State.

After the flying boat left, Song Hong returned to the restaurant, and the other two Heavenly Profound Saint Realm elders returned to their previous room.

Song Hong looked at the two elders and said, "What do you think of what that person just said?"

One elder replied, "What he said should be true, even the Immortal Boat of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty has retreated."

Another elder frowned, saying, "Lu Chen could even kill Pan Rui from the Wind and Cloud Tower, Elder Yu Changqin might be in great danger."

Song Hong then said, "This matter must be reported quickly to the Holy Master. Elder Li, return to Central State immediately, inform the Holy Master of this, and check to see if Elder Yu Changqin’s soul token is still intact. Elder Wang and I will head to the relic’s entrance to investigate the situation."

With those words, Song Hong, accompanied by an elder, promptly flew toward the entrance of the ancient ruins.

When Song Hong arrived at the ruin’s entrance, he noticed several flying boats emitting black evil qi in the distant sky.

And a few Saint Realm experts at the entrance of the ruins were frantically launching attacks at the entrance, seemingly trying to force it open.
