Chapter 2520 - 2210: Leaving the Small World Again

Lu Chen reluctantly pulled away from the gentle jade fragrance. After he and Yun Yudie dressed, they walked out of the room together.

In the courtyard stood a mysterious figure in a black robe.

Seeing Yun Yudie come out of the room, Zhang Wulian hurriedly knelt in front of Yun Yudie and said, "Greetings, Master."

Yun Yudie responded softly with an "Mm," then asked, "What’s the situation outside now?"

Zhang Wulian replied, "Reporting to the Master, most of the Central State powers have evacuated the Border Wilderness, but they left some disciples behind."

"Additionally, the Sky Demon Sect has left a Saint Realm expert at the entrance of the relic, and it seems they’re setting up a formation."

Lu Chen asked, "Are you saying the Sky Demon Sect is setting up a formation at the entrance of the relic?"

Zhang Wulian replied, "Yes, in the past few days, the disciples of the Sky Demon Sect have been slaughtering cities extensively, and several cities’ worth of humans have been massacred."

"The Sky Demon Sect has brought all those human corpses to pile up outside the entrance of the relic. Now, the resentment at the entrance is overwhelming, breeding a lot of evil spirits."

Hearing Zhang Wulian’s answer, Lu Chen fell into contemplation.

It seems that the Sky Demon Sect is indeed setting up some evil formation, and it’s a formation targeting him.

He believes the Sky Demon Sect must have heard about him killing a Saint Realm expert in one move; they’re worried he’ll leave the relic, so they’re using the formation to trap him.

If that’s the case, he can’t stay in the Small World any longer; he must leave quickly.

But with a Saint Realm expert stationed by the Sky Demon Sect, even if he leaves, he won’t be a match for that Saint Realm expert.

He was previously able to instantly kill the Saint Realm expert from Wind and Cloud Tower entirely because of the power contained within the Undying Bone.

Now that power has been completely consumed, and the power newly gathered by the Undying Bone isn’t enough to kill a Saint Realm expert.

However, if the Sky Demon Sect only has one Saint Realm guarding outside, perhaps he could try to break through.

They also have a Saint Realm on their side, so it depends on whether Chu Yuqin will help him.

Subsequently, Lu Chen said to Yun Yudie, "I have something to do, you all chat."

With those words, Lu Chen leapt into the air, heading towards the courtyard where Chu Yuqin was.

Soon, Lu Chen arrived at Chu Yuqin’s courtyard.

At this moment, Chu Yuqin was sitting on a soft couch, in a room surrounded by fragrant smoke, like a fairyland.

Wisps of blue smoke drifted out of the window, and the scent from the room could be smelled even in the courtyard.

Upon sensing Lu Chen’s presence, Chu Yuqin in the room instantly opened her eyes.

Now, Chu Yuqin was quite wary of Lu Chen, after all, she had witnessed Lu Chen kill a Saint Realm expert in one move.

Lu Chen walked to the door and said to Chu Yuqin in the room, "Madam Chu, may I come in?"

Chu Yuqin said indifferently, "Come in."

Seeing Chu Yuqin agree, Lu Chen slowly pushed the door open and entered; a delicate fragrance hit him.

Lu Chen sat down at the round table in the room and poured himself a cup of tea.

Chu Yuqin sat on the soft couch, looking at Lu Chen warily and asked, "What do you want?"

Lu Chen drank a cup of tea and then said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

Chu Yuqin asked, "What favor?"

Lu Chen said, "Most of the Central State powers have already evacuated the Border Wilderness, but the Sky Demon Sect is still there, and they’ve left a Saint Realm expert guarding the entrance of the relic, seemingly setting up a formation to trap me in the relic."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin was taken aback.

If the entrance to the relic is completely blocked, doesn’t that mean she won’t be able to leave either?

Chu Yuqin said, "You want me to deal with the Sky Demon Sect’s Saint Realm expert?"

Lu Chen said, "Yes."

Chu Yuqin said softly, "Didn’t you say you could kill a Saint Realm in one strike? Do you still need me to intervene?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "If I truly had that strength, I would have left this Small World long ago. That power was a one-time use."

Hearing Lu Chen’s response, Chu Yuqin thought to herself, could it really be as she guessed? That it was a heritage power, and after Lu Chen used up that power, he was left with nothing?

If that’s the case, once they leave this relic, can she forcibly take Lu Chen and have him return to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land with her?

Outside, there are still several Saint Realm experts from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land waiting for her. Now that the Saint Realms of other Central State powers have evacuated the Border Wilderness, no one can stop them.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin said, "Alright, I can help you deal with the Sky Demon Sect’s Saint Realm."

Seeing Chu Yuqin agree, Lu Chen said, "Alright, there’s no time like the present, let’s go test the strength of the Sky Demon Sect’s Saint Realm now."

Chu Yuqin got up from the soft couch and said indifferently, "Alright."

Lu Chen didn’t say another word; he immediately got up, and the two headed towards the entrance of the relic.

Meanwhile, outside the relic,

With the relic’s entrance as the center, the mountains and plains were covered with human corpses, piles of bodies forming small hills.

Black gas emanated from the bodies, and even during the day, roaming resentful souls could be seen everywhere, making the hundred-mile radius seem like a death zone.

When Lu Chen and Chu Yuqin emerged from the relic and saw this scene, they were both stunned for a moment.

In the sky, a black flying boat hovered silently.

On the deck of the flying boat, Xu Jichuan suddenly opened his eyes, sensing two auras emerging from the relic, and he immediately flew to the entrance of the relic.

Xu Jichuan glanced at Lu Chen and then said, "You must be Lu Chen?"

Lu Chen didn’t waste time and directly said to Chu Yuqin, "Madam Chu, it’s up to you now."

Chu Yuqin drew a longsword, fully releasing her Saint Realm aura.

Immediately after, she thrust her sword at Xu Jichuan.

"Cold Ruins Frost Sword!!!"

In an instant, cold light swept in all directions, and the air rapidly froze, with snowflake-like ice crystals swirling all around. Wherever the sword edge pointed, ice patterns formed, and the space seemed to freeze, with shards of ice suspended in mid-air.

Then, multiple sword shadows stabbed at Xu Jichuan.

Xu Jichuan frowned slightly, what’s going on?

How did a Saint Realm suddenly appear in the relic?

Xu Jichuan quickly reacted, gathering all his spiritual evil: "Nether Devour Path Tribulation!!!"

A pitch-black demonic cloud descended, and countless soul fires converged into an all-encompassing demonic hand.

Wherever the demonic hand fell, spatial cracks appeared, and surrounding resentful souls were absorbed into the hand, strengthening its power.

The demonic hand then struck towards Chu Yuqin.

Sword Evil and Demon Evil collided, instantly causing a violent explosion that shook the entire Dazhou.

The aftermath of the battle between the Saint Realm experts was enough to destroy a dynasty, especially since neither of them held back, and they came at each other with full force.

If this were in Central State, the Saint Realm forces would be suppressed by some heavenly rules, but in the Border Wilderness, where heavenly rules are weak, the powers of the Saint Realm are fully unleashed.

Their full-force clash, however, did not result in a definitive victory.

As the explosion dissipated, Xu Jichuan and Chu Yuqin floated in mid-air.

At this moment, Xu Jichuan had already developed a thought of retreat. If it were just Chu Yuqin alone, he wouldn’t be afraid, but with Lu Chen there, and knowing Lu Chen had killed a Saint Realm in one move...

Although Lu Chen’s power likely wasn’t his own, Xu Jichuan didn’t dare to gamble, in case Lu Chen attacked him and once again unleashed that black death light, he feared it would mean his death here.
