Chapter 306: Chapter 181: Kneel Down and Slap Yourself! 10 Times

Martial Alliance Stronghold.

On the way back, Grand Elder Situ Fang’s mind still couldn’t find a moment’s peace.

What had just happened was simply too shocking.

A thousand thoughts raced through his head.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen Chen Xuan’s combat record.

On the contrary, he was familiar with nearly all of Chen Xuan’s various achievements...

But what he had just witnessed still felt utterly unbelievable.

Yu Chen Master was ranked thirtieth on the Earth Rankings.

And his Swordsmanship had recently improved.

His strength should have put him somewhere between twenty-second and twenty-fifth on the Earth Rankings.

And yet, Chen Xuan had just slammed him to death.

He hadn’t been able to put up any resistance from start to finish...

After a long silence, Grand Elder Situ Fang forced a laugh from his throat and said, "Elder Chen, you truly are a celestial being!"

"Almost."

Chen Xuan replied directly, "Give it a few more days, and I should be one."

"..."

Situ Fang was speechless for a moment.

’What a conversation killer. I have no idea how to respond.’

But then, he suddenly caught an even more terrifying piece of information in Chen Xuan’s words.

’Could it be that Chen Xuan is about to reach the Outer Saint realm?’

’It’s possible!’

’The fact that he could kill Yu Chen Master means he might already be at the Ninth Layer of the Inner Realm himself!’

’With a bit of fortuitous opportunity, wouldn’t breaking through to the Outer Saint realm be entirely possible?’

He sucked in a sharp breath.

’A twenty-year-old on the Heaven Rankings!’

Situ Fang’s hands began to tremble violently. He managed a strained smile. "You... you really are incredible!"

"Not that incredible. When I can match Alliance Leader Chu, that’s when I’ll be truly incredible."

Chen Xuan replied, "By the way, what’s the deal with this area? The Alliance’s intel said that some ancient ruins were uncovered by a tremor around here. Where are they? Have they been located?"

"Yes!"

Situ Fang immediately responded, "After the ancient ruins were revealed, countless people rushed over to investigate. However, the ruins are covered by a restrictive barrier, and there are only a few entrances. The Martial Alliance, Lingxiao Sect, and True Martial Sect happen to jointly control one of them. If you’d like to go, I can take you to have a look right now."

"Sure. I’ve got nothing better to do back there anyway. Let’s go see it."

Chen Xuan nodded.

"There is one more thing."

Situ Fang said, "The entrances are all extremely close to each other. The one we control is less than two hundred li from the one controlled by the Northern Barbarians. A large group of experts has gathered on their side recently, all brought by the Longevity Sect. There are over thirty Inner Realm masters alone, and their leader is the Longevity Sect’s Fate Elder, Tuoba Hu. That Tuoba Hu is extremely famous on the Northern Barbarian Grandmaster Rankings. Even in Great Xia, he would rank close to the top twenty on the Earth Rankings..."

"Over thirty Inner Realm masters?"

Chen Xuan looked suspicious.

’What a coincidence.’

"The leader... is he exceptionally sturdy and tall? With somewhat dark skin, and built like a small pagoda when he stands up?"

"Yes, that’s Tuoba Hu."

It dawned on Situ Fang, and he quickly asked, "Don’t tell me you already ran into them on your way here?"

"We did."

Chen Xuan nodded.

"Then where are they now?"

Situ Fang’s heart tightened.

’They haven’t fought already, have they?’

"Now?"

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at him. "Do you believe Yama’s Hall exists in this world?"

"Ahem... I do not."

Situ Fang chuckled sheepishly.

’If there was a Yama’s Hall, wouldn’t it be packed to the brim after all these years?’

’Besides, no one’s ever seen it with their own eyes.’

"If there is no Yama’s Hall, then their souls have already been scattered to the winds. If there is a Yama’s Hall, then they’re probably there eating hot pot," Chen Xuan said.

PFFT!

Behind them, Old Deng couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

’This kid...’

’He’s actually pretty funny.’

’How come I never noticed he had such a sense of humor before?’

’This is killing me.’

But in the next instant, he remembered he was about to be cuckolded, and his expression immediately turned grim again.

’I was emanating killing intent, and you go and make me laugh. How awkward.’

"What?"

The Grand Elder stopped dead in his tracks, staring at Chen Xuan, completely and utterly dumbfounded.

It wasn’t just him; the members of the Lingxiao Sect were also flabbergasted, their minds reeling.

It was already outrageous enough that Chen Xuan had killed Yu Chen Master.

But now he was saying that he’d taken care of Tuoba Hu and his men too?

That was over thirty Inner Realm masters!

’Heavens! Do you have any idea what you’re saying?’

"..."

Chen Xuan nodded lightly. "Over thirty Inner Realm masters. I happened to run into them on my way here, so I casually threw a punch. They all died. I’m not sure if they’re the group you were talking about."

’If not, even better. I can farm another batch of retribution points.’

To be honest,

his hands were itching for a fight. He was even thinking of finding a Heaven Rankings expert to test his mettle against.

Situ Fang and Yun Che’s minds were once again buzzing, their thoughts in turmoil.

One by one, they stood there dumbfounded, looking like stunned groundhogs.

Suddenly, they seemed to recall something.

No wonder they had felt the ground shake not long ago... they had sensed a dense and terrifying energy from a distance and thought there had been another incident with the ancient ruins in the mountains...

Now it seemed...

’Could it be... that was Chen Xuan making his move?’

’What kind of celestial being is this?’

"You... Please follow me."

Situ Fang’s face was pale as he spoke again, his voice hurried.

He didn’t dare ask anything else. This was too damn overwhelming.

He needed to get Chen Xuan to the entrance as quickly as possible.

...

「A short while later.」

The group passed through a thick, white fog and arrived before a valley.

This was the very entrance discovered jointly by the Martial Alliance, the Lingxiao Sect, and the True Martial Sect.

However, as they approached, they saw several furtive figures loitering outside the entrance, peeking inside from time to time.

"It’s people from the Grotto Heavens! They’re back!"

Grand Elder Situ Fang’s eyes narrowed. He whispered, "Ever since the secret realm was revealed by the tremor a few days ago, many experts from the Grotto Heavens have been drawn out. Since there are very few entrances, they’ve been loitering around here..."
