The Elder's face was full of a ferocious smile. Everything was proceeding according to his plan, and it was about to be fully implemented.
"Almost there, it'll be over soon."
He would soon see the fruits of his years of meticulous planning; how could that not be exciting?
Once he destroys Chaos Stone City, his actions will surely earn him a promotion within the sect. Secondly, there are the benefits that Su Chen, this Heavenly Prodigy, brings him. No matter how you look at it, he feels that his future is bright.
The Elder waved his hand and said calmly, "You may all leave. Do as I instruct, and you will all be rewarded."
"Yes!"
Everyone else was overjoyed at the sight.
Just as they were about to leave the room, a figure suddenly walked in through the door. It was a completely unfamiliar figure. Those who could come here were basically the Branch Master of the Bloodthirsty Divine Cult or some core Disciple of the sect.
But they weren't complete strangers, because they had all seen Su Chen's appearance in photos before.
Hiss!
You are Su Chen!
One of the blond-haired gang leaders suddenly realized what was happening, his face filled with ecstatic joy. Although he didn't quite understand why Su Chen was here, how could he refuse such an offer?
Su Chen's behavior is a classic example of feeding them.
A terrifying power erupted instantly, and the Branch Master grabbed directly at Su Chen with extreme speed, as if afraid that Su Chen would escape.
Su Chen glanced at him casually.
Late Profound Immortal, and his strength is quite considerable.
Qin Ran, standing beside him, was terrified. How could there be an Immortal Stage realm expert, and with such terrifying pressure, he was definitely not an ordinary Profound Immortal expert?
Isn't this a task that barely reaches the Profound Immortal level?
How could there be such a powerful person!?
Su Chen casually raised his hand and grabbed the blond-haired leader, who was like a chick, and he was unable to move.
How could that be!
The blond-haired leader's eyes were filled with shock. He was a late-stage Xuanxian cultivator; how could Su Chen, a mere junior, possess such formidable strength?
To leave him no chance to resist, one must possess combat power comparable to Grand Unity Golden Immortal; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible.
Although Su Chen is low-key, he definitely prefers to crush others while remaining low-key. To be honest, he has little interest in a real battle of wits and strength.
He likes things that are a little challenging, but not too difficult, because Su Chen finds it too troublesome if they are too difficult.
After all, how could someone who's played so many easy wins possibly handle the difficult mode?
The Elder immediately sensed something was wrong, but instead of grabbing Su Chen, he turned and ran away without looking back. However, before he could take two steps, he was blocked by a tall figure.
Nine Cloud Puppet!
Su Chen has used this thing very few times, so using it to deal with these people is indeed making a mountain out of a molehill, but it doesn't make much difference anyway, it's just for fun.
The Elder's eyes were filled with solemnity. Although the Nine Cloud Puppet did not exude any pressure, it still made him feel uneasy, as if it contained extremely terrifying power.
What exactly is this thing?
And how did Su Chen manage to find them?
The moment Su Chen appeared, he, who had been involved in the Demonic Cult Sect for many years, immediately sensed that something was amiss.
Even if Su Chen were to get lost, it's impossible for him to have just walked into that Textile Factory, or to have just happened to find the Cave inside the Textile Factory and then find them.
Moreover, when Su Chen first saw them, there was no surprise in his eyes, as if it was only natural.
This shows that Su Chen came specifically for them.
How dare Su Chen, a junior, approach them? This implies a great deal of information.
A powerful expert has arrived from the Haoran Sect!
The Elder hesitated for only a moment before attempting to flee, but the Nine Cloud Puppet was incredibly fast. Before the Elder could make any move, it had already arrived before him and then raised its hand to deliver a punch.
"Bang!"
A violent explosion rang out, but fortunately, this place was underground, and the Bloodthirsty Divine Cult had specially set up Array Formation for concealment, so the shockwave did not spread outwards, and basically no one knew what was happening here.
The Elder was struck and Past fainted; the power within his body was almost completely dissipated.
One blow was enough to leave him critically injured!
Seeing this, the other Branch Master were terrified and dared not fight Su Chen anymore. They knew that the Elder was a cultivator at the level of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and he had been beaten into such a state in one move. There was no need to say more about the others.
The ensuing battle was one-sided; Su Chen activated the Nine Cloud Puppet to grab a doll, knocking one person down with a single punch.
Su Chen casually walked to the corner of the wall, where a small mouse was looking around. When it saw Su Chen coming, it immediately went to meet him and jumped into Su Chen's palm.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that this "rat" is not a real rat at all. Its body surface is like a machine, only incredibly agile. Without careful examination, it would be impossible to discern anything about it.
Soon.
Everything the rat saw was imprinted into Su Chen's Sea of Consciousness.
Su Chen's expression was somewhat strange. No wonder he had always felt something was off; it turned out this was all Conspiracy against him.
He looked at the Elder again, his brows furrowing once more.
Su Chen raised his hand and waved, and a Token floated out from the Elder's sleeve. It was an iron-blue Token, somewhat ancient, with the words "City Lord" engraved on the back and the words "Chaotic Rocks" on the front.
The Token of the Chaotic World City!
Su Chen narrowed his eyes. No wonder the people in the city acted as if nothing had happened when the Demonic Cult massacred the three major Lineage. It turned out that the people from the Bloodthirsty Divine Cult were the City Lord.
He now finally understood why the Nine Stars Empire couldn't eradicate the Demonic Cult; these people were simply hiding too well.
Su Chen glanced at them and realized that although they practiced sinister and evil Cultivation Method, it was impossible to tell that they were from the Demonic Path without a close inspection.
In this world, investigating others' secrets is a grave taboo, which conveniently gave the Demonic Cult an opportunity to hide.
Su Chen slowly stood up and looked at Qin Ran, who was still dumbfounded. "Junior Brother Qin, please cripple their Cultivation Level, tie them up, and take them back to the sect."
Under normal circumstances, Qin Ran would definitely not be able to do it, but now these people are seriously injured and on the verge of Life and Death. For Qin Ran to cripple their Cultivation Level is a simple matter.
Qin Ran finally snapped out of his daze and looked at Su Chen with an extremely terrified expression.
What kind of monster is that!?
We're in the same year, right?
Does the gap really have to be this huge now?
Qin Ran was starting to lose his composure. He sensed the Elder's Cultivation Level fluctuations— Grand Unity Golden Immortal level—yet the Puppet defeated him in a single blow. If Su Chen could create such Puppet, what kind of strength did he possess?
Wait... is the Qiudao Peak really that well hidden?
After this in-depth interaction with Su Chen, he finally understood why the Jinyang Sect and the Yan Yue Sect were so wary of the Disciple of the Qiudao Peak. You're impressive if you know how many tricks they have up their sleeves.
Su Chen glanced at him; Qin Ran been quite interesting along the way, so he spoke up:
"From now on, when you're out and about, show one set of strength and methods on the surface, and hide another set. If you want to be more cautious, hide it a little more; if you want to reach the ultimate level, hide it a little more."
"The more Trump Cards, the more unpredictable your attacks will be."
Qin Ran somewhat numb.
So what?
Is this why you, with your Grand Unity Golden Immortal strength, are hiding your Heavenly Immortal Late Stage?
Moreover, he was certain that Su Chen was not limited to what he appeared to be; he definitely had other, even more terrifying methods.
