Chapter 2521 - 2211: I Should Be Able to Break Through to the Saint Realm Soon

Xu Jichuan was somewhat conflicted; if he withdrew like this, he wouldn’t be able to complete the task given to him by the Demon Child.

But if he didn’t withdraw, he might very likely die in the Border Wilderness.

At this moment, Xu Jichuan suddenly discovered that the Great Zhou Capital was completely intact, a golden barrier was protecting the entire Great Zhou Capital.

This immediately gave Xu Jichuan a bad premonition.

This place where the ruins are located was originally a cemetery of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Great Zhou Capital is very close to the entrance of the ruins.

Given that the two Saints unleashed their full power, the Great Zhou Capital should have long been razed to the ground, but now that it’s still perfectly fine, it proves someone is protecting the capital.

To protect an entire city from the attacks of Saints, it could only be another Saint, meaning there is still a Righteous Saint in the Capital.

If it were a Saint of their Sky Demon Sect, there would be no need to protect the Border Desolate Natives.

At this moment, two streaks of light flew from afar, hovering in the sky.

Seeing the two Saints suddenly appear, Xu Jichuan’s face turned extremely dark.

Just as he thought, there is still a Righteous Saint who hasn’t left the Border Wilderness.

Three against one, he stood no chance, and there was no point in persisting.

Xu Jichuan sneered and said, "If I’m not mistaken, you should be people from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, right?"

"No wonder the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land withdrew from the Border Wilderness so early; it turns out that you had already sent people into the ancient ruins and withdrew early just to mislead everyone."

"If this were known by those forces in Central State, I’m afraid your Heavenly Profound Sacred Land would become the target of public criticism."

Chu Yuqin coldly said, "As long as we leave you here, no one will know about this."

While speaking, the thin sword in Chu Yuqin’s hand emitted a sword hum, gathering countless spiritual evils into the sword.

Then Chu Yuqin said to Song Hong and the other, "Let’s attack together."

With that, Chu Yuqin once again thrust her sword towards Xu Jichuan.

Song Hong and another Holy Realm Elder of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land also attacked with full force, trying to detain Xu Jichuan.

Seeing this, Xu Jichuan knew he could not withstand the full assault of three Saints, so he immediately took out a black Teleportation Pearl and used spiritual evil to activate the pearl.

The next moment, a black vortex appeared behind Xu Jichuan.

He stepped into the black vortex, leaving behind a message: "When the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land falls, I will surely come for the spectacle."

With that, the black vortex contracted into a point and then disappeared.

Seeing Xu Jichuan escape, a trace of concern appeared on Chu Yuqin’s face; this was going to be troublesome.

Xu Jichuan would definitely spread today’s events, and once they returned to Central State, the various forces might besiege the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, demanding they hand over Lu Chen and the Ancient Inheritance.

But then again, Lu Chen can kill a Saint with one hand, so even if those forces covet the Ancient Inheritance, they might not dare to come directly.

No one knows if Lu Chen can use the same technique again; as long as the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land keeps Lu Chen mysterious, the various forces won’t dare act rashly.

But there is one force that will certainly make trouble for the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, and that is the Wind and Cloud Tower.

Lu Chen killed the Wind and Cloud Tower’s Saint, and the Wind and Cloud Tower won’t let it go.

Chu Yuqin stepped forward as Song Hong and his peers came up to her. Song Hong asked, "Elder Yu Changqin, are you alright?"

Chu Yuqin regained her composure and said calmly, "I’m fine."

Song Hong then looked towards the distance at Lu Chen and asked, "Is he Lu Chen?"

Chu Yuqin said, "Yes."

Song Hong continued to ask, "Elder Yu Changqin, did you find the Ancient Inheritance?"

Chu Yuqin said, "No, there’s nothing in the ruins."

"This..."

Song Hong and his companions exchanged glances, hardly believing Chu Yuqin’s words.

At this time, the elder next to Song Hong asked, "Could the Ancient Inheritance be with Lu Chen?"

Chu Yuqin said, "You’ll have to ask Lu Chen about that."

Song Hong looked at Lu Chen with a smile, "Lu, did you obtain the Ancient Inheritance?"

Lu Chen said, "There’s no inheritance like you’re imagining in there."

Song Hong unwillingly asked, "I heard that you wiped out the Saint Realm entity that sealed you with a single move."

"If Lu didn’t obtain the Ancient Inheritance, how would you possess such a terrifying power?"

Lu Chen answered, "It has nothing to do with the Ancient Inheritance; it’s my awakened Innate Divine Ability."

Song Hong’s face slightly darkened; he couldn’t tell if Lu Chen was telling the truth.

Just as Song Hong was about to say something, Chu Yuqin looked at Lu Chen and asked, "Now that the various forces of Central State have withdrawn from the Border Wilderness and you’ve shown the ability to kill a Saint, even if you go to Central State, no force will dare underestimate you. Why not come with me to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land now?"

"Heavenly Profound Sacred Land will provide you with all the resources you desire, helping you quickly break through to the Saint Realm."

At this moment, Chu Yuqin wanted to bring Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land as soon as possible, then use the Truth Testing Stone to see if Lu Chen’s previous words were true, to determine if the Ancient Inheritance was indeed obtained by Lu Chen.

The Ancient Inheritance is crucial to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, and she’s a bit unwilling to let it go.

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Lu Chen immediately said, "Not for the time being, let’s wait until I break through to the Saint Realm before discussing it."

Chu Yuqin furrowed her brows, suspecting that Lu Chen might be unwilling to go to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land with her.

The longer it drags on, the more variables come into play.

Lu Chen being around so many other forces’ women is certainly not beneficial for the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

If Lu Chen suddenly changes his mind and decides to go to another force, it’ll be troublesome.

Should she forcibly take Lu Chen along?

After all, they have three Saints on their side. If what Lu Chen said is true, and his power to kill a Saint was indeed a one-time thing, then the three of them could easily take Lu Chen away.

But Chu Yuqin didn’t dare to gamble; what if she angered Lu Chen, and he still held the power to kill a Saint and turned against them?

Hearing Lu Chen’s response, Song Hong said, "Lu, if you continue staying in the Border Wilderness, you might endanger your life."

"Once the Saint of the Sky Demon Sect returns, they will certainly report the events of the Border Wilderness to the Sect Hierarch, and if the Sect Hierarch personally descends upon the Border Wilderness, no one can resist."

"You better come back to our Holy Land with us. Heavenly Profound Sacred Land will spare no effort in nurturing you, with your talent, being a Saint Heir of the Holy Land is more than sufficient, and perhaps within a millennium, you’ll become the Holy Master of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Lu Chen said, "Thank you for the kind offer, but I won’t feel secure until I’ve reached the Saint Realm, so let’s wait a little longer."

"Besides, it shouldn’t take me too long to break through to the Saint Realm."

"This..."

Song Hong thought to himself, what does he mean by it won’t take long to break through to the Saint Realm?

Does he think breaking through to the Saint Realm is as simple as eating or drinking? It isn’t that easy at all.

The realm gets harder to break through as you go higher.

Many of the Holy Realm Elders in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land only crossed the final step when they were near the end of their lifespan, barely breaking through to the Saint Realm.

At this time, Song Hong turned his gaze to Chu Yuqin, wanting to see what her stance would be.

If Chu Yuqin decides to forcibly take Lu Chen, they would act immediately.
