Before he could even speak, before Chen Xiaotian's fist had already come flying at him.
The old woman snorted coldly and said sharply, " Chen Xiaotian, you are far too arrogant! At the location of the Emperor Su Palace, form the array!"
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, everyone in the Emperor Su Palace sprang into action, and towering waves of energy surged and churned, instantly enveloping the entire world.
The Emperor Su Palace truly lives up to its reputation as the most mysterious existence among Elder Gu traditions. The reactions and coordination between the disciples are seamless, and the speed at which they form formations is dazzling.
At her command, the mother-in-law leaped into the air, and with a casual wave of her hand, a terrifying shockwave rushed towards Chen Xiaotian.
boom!
A terrifying explosion resounded, shaking the entire world. Before everyone's eyes, the black dragon roared, its momentum undiminished, and charged towards the old woman.
The old woman was terrified and hurriedly slashed out with her sword, but she was no match for the black dragon's speed. She was hit hard by the black dragon, screamed in pain, and fell from mid-air.
"Overestimating oneself."
Chen Xiaotian coldly surveyed the group of people around him, his expression growing increasingly grim. Suddenly, he roared, "Who, who destroyed my Heavenly Scorpion?"
Upon hearing the name Heavenly Scorpion, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they stared at Devil Venerable Chen Xiaotian with horrified expressions.
Everyone felt somewhat distressed, especially the mother-in-law, whose face showed exasperation. She clearly knew what had happened.
That brat not only broke the Earth Treasury Heavenly Restriction, but also destroyed Chen Xiaotian's Heavenly Scorpion.
It's destroyed, so be it. But that old bastard Chen Xiaotian is so slow to realize it, he actually thinks they're the ones who destroyed it.
A fight is possible; the Emperor Su Palace isn't necessarily afraid of Chen Xiaotian. But how can a fight be fought in such an ambiguous and unclear manner?
Regardless of who wins or loses, the kid from earlier will ultimately benefit, while our side will suffer a net loss.
Don't fight!
The mother-in-law made up her mind almost immediately: this battle must not be fought, no matter what.
Seeing Chen Xiaotian's furious state, the old woman snorted coldly and said, " Chen Xiaotian, my Emperor Su Palace may not be afraid of you, but..."
Before the mother-in-law could finish speaking, a loud laugh that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth suddenly rang out, followed by a powerful voice, crisp and clear, without any hesitation. "That's right, the Emperor Su Palace isn't necessarily afraid of you. With me Lu Peng, added to the mix, do you think we can gain any advantage?"
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law nearly rushed forward and strangled Lu Peng to death.
" Lu Peng, what are you doing interrupting...?"
The mother-in-law was furious and about to explain when Chen Xiaotian snorted coldly and said, "I've heard of Dao Kun Lu Peng. No wonder this old hag dared to destroy my Heavenly Scorpion. Now that you two are together, it saves me the trouble of searching for you one by one. You'll both die here and be buried with my Heavenly Scorpion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiaotian suddenly Heavenly Wrath, and terrifying demonic energy erupted, blotting out the sun and changing the color of the entire world.
" Heavenly Devil Transformation!"
The mother-in-law and Lu Peng exclaimed in unison, their faces filled with horror.
"Empress, run!" the old woman cried out in alarm, her face immediately changing drastically. She roared, "Activate the formation! Ascend the Underground Palace Ascends to Heaven!"
boom!
A terrifying shockwave formed a colossal palace, its immense power contending with the overwhelming demonic energy.
It's unbelievable that Chen Xiaotian alone could cause such a celestial phenomenon.
This battle was fierce and devastating, resulting in heavy losses for both sides. When the Devil Venerable Shuya arrived, the destruction was even more devastating, and the entire world was shattered.
Yang Zhen sat listlessly on the back of the Heaven-Swallowing Hou, sighed, and muttered to himself, "Damn, so boring, where did everyone go?"
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable also wore a strange expression, saying, "Perhaps this is a conspiracy. Those Devil Cultivator couldn't have suddenly disappeared. There have been frequent strange phenomena at Slug Bank Mountain these past few days; the Emperor's Tomb might erupt any day now. We should be careful!"
The Shameless Cat beside him curled its lip and said, " Devil Cultivator cultivators are notoriously treacherous and ruthless. We haven't encountered them yet, but they might be plotting something wicked. Kid, you'd better be careful."
Yang Zhen stretched, a serious expression on his face, and said, "No, we have to stir things up. Passively taking a beating is never in this Sage of Saunter's nature."
The Shameless Cat, who had just been advising Yang Zhen to be careful, lit up at the mention of "stirring things up," stood up, and asked, "So, kid, what are we going to do?"
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet. Damn it, we haven't even seen Ghost Shadow. How are we supposed to cause trouble? These guys are acting so suspiciously, they're shameless."
As he spoke, Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, "The terrain of Slug Bank Mountain is treacherous; I need to familiarize myself with the terrain here first."
"It would be best if we could find the Emperor's Tomb directly, then we'd give them a good kick!" the Shameless Cat said excitedly.
"A leg cramp?" Yang Zhen was taken aback, then laughed and scolded, "There's such a crazy tactic? Is this some kind of underhanded maneuver?"
The Shameless Cat blushed slightly and pursed his lips. "Don't worry about the details, kid, hurry up and see if you can find anything."
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable smiled and said, "That's fine then, I'll protect you!"
Yang Zhen nodded, took a deep breath, and his divine soul power suddenly erupted, sweeping across the entire Slug Bank Mountain like a storm.
In many forbidden areas, one cannot freely release one's divine soul power. Not to mention the numerous dangers involved, even revealing one's identity and strength is an extremely dangerous matter.
However, Slug Bank Mountain was too quiet right now, so quiet that Yang Zhen couldn't sense any danger. That's why he decided to figure out the terrain of Slug Bank Mountain first.
A moment later, a strange look appeared on Yang Zhen's face, followed by increasing astonishment. He muttered to himself, "Damn, this old man is dishonest. He actually used such a despicable trick as a monkey stealing peaches on an old woman."
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable and the Shameless Cat listened in astonishment, especially the Shameless Cat, who loved those underhanded tricks like "Monkey Steals the Peach" and "Black Tiger Pulls Out the Heart." Hearing this, the cat hurriedly asked, "A fight broke out? Where is it? Who's fighting whom?"
Yang Zhen withdrew his divine sense and said with a strange expression, "That stubborn old woman from the Emperor Su Palace got into a fight with a dark old man. The scene was absolutely earth-shattering! Oh my, you didn't see it, the old woman looked so furious, like she wanted to devour someone alive."
"How scary! Damn it, who made that old lady so angry?" The Shameless Cat exclaimed, startled.
The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable beside him also looked curious and asked, "Old man Black?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "That old man conjured up an enormous scorpion; one of its tails could pierce through the heavens and the earth!"
" Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian?" The Nine Dragons Saint Venerable's face showed a hint of shock, muttering to himself, " The Emperor Su Palace is indeed incredibly powerful. They've already started fighting Venerable Lord Chen Xiaotian before even entering Slug Bank Mountain."
"Terrifying!" Yang Zhen wholeheartedly agreed!
The Shameless Cat chuckled and said, "Perfect timing! They're fighting now. Let's hurry to the Emperor's Tomb and give them a good beating!"
"That's a radical solution!" Yang Zhen exclaimed excitedly. "I think it's a great idea too!"
