"Seriously, why make it so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to just practice one-on-one like before?"
The second level of space is much larger than imagined. If the space in the second level that is divided into pairs is the size of a county town, then the first level is about the size of ten county towns. In total, it is still not the size of a capital city.
But this layer is completely different.
Both of them were using wind magic to probe the edge of this space, but half an hour had passed and they still hadn't reached the edge. At his current speed, half an hour would have been enough to traverse the four cities of the Northern Lands, meaning this space was practically equivalent to half of the Northern Lands, or even more.
Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?
For a moment, Su Changqing wondered if he was hallucinating. If the Warlock Dynasty could artificially create such a large space, could they simply establish a kingdom within it?
Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly. It probably wouldn't work. Supporting such a huge space would definitely require a huge amount of energy. This should be activated temporarily.
"Hey, I'm telling you, we're allies, at least respond to me." Chen Yun's annoying voice made Su Changqing frown.
If he had a choice, he really wouldn't want to choose this guy as an ally, but he had no choice. He had finally managed to build a relationship with Yun Ke'er, but after being ridiculed by this guy, he was also disliked and had no choice but to go with him.
He had considered going it alone, but in the current model, having multiple people always provides an extra layer of protection.
"It seems the secret weapon Lord Chen gave you is quite suitable for solo operations." Su Changqing looked at the other party with a smile, "Since we're allies, shouldn't you reveal it to him? Otherwise, how will we cooperate later?"
"Heh," Chen Yun chuckled coldly upon hearing this. He wasn't surprised that Su Changqing could guess that he had a secret weapon. After all, everyone knew his own skill level. He didn't even believe that he could beat Nie Youyun by skill.
But should I tell him?
Only a madman would do that. Seriously? There are only four runes; who knows if they'll end up fighting amongst themselves?
"You, Su Changqing, never reveal your trump cards to anyone?" Chen Yun sneered. "Everyone says that the face of the Su Family is the Laoda Su Changqing, Su Changqing, but the Su Family keeps it a secret. The characters 'Qing' and 'Qing' are often confused. Who in the Su Family is actually referring to in public? Who really knows?"
Su Changqing's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Didn't you just provoke Shen Yuan into accepting your challenge? Why were you keeping your distance at the beginning?"
"Can't you see that?" Chen Yun chuckled. "Provoking him isn't about competing with him. What benefit would I get from winning? The important thing in this round is seizing resources. I forced him to say those things earlier to avoid the tricks of the Jiangnan people as much as possible. You've seen those Jiangnan guys; they're skilled in formations and especially adept at ambush planning. With Shen Yuan's promise, at least I don't have to worry about being schemed against by other Jiangnan disciples. Shen Yuan is quite arrogant; I doubt his junior brothers and sisters would go against his wishes and cause me trouble alone."
"You're the one who's really good at scheming," Su Changqing sneered upon hearing this, while secretly scrutinizing the other party in his heart.
Although the Laoda of the Chen Household is not very talented and is considered a good-for-nothing, he is first-rate in his scheming. His seemingly mindless provocation actually avoids targeting more of the Jiangnan youths. This is obviously a very worthwhile deal. Among those who pass the test, the majority are from Jiangnan. Avoiding the targeting of Jiangnan youths is equivalent to reducing half of the trouble.
As expected, this guy does have his strengths to have obtained the Chen Household's secret artifact. His temperament and quick thinking are probably the reasons why Lord Chen Baifeng values him.
He didn't believe that such an important secret artifact could be forcefully taken away by the Chen Household's first wife. He was joking; if the Chen Household's first wife could make such a decision, then it wouldn't be called the Chen Household.
"Hmm?" Just as Su Changqing was about to say something, he suddenly sensed something unusual. A distinct elemental fluctuation was emanating from ahead. The two exchanged glances and, wary of each other, approached the source of the fluctuation.
"This is..." Looking at the flashing lightning ahead, Su Changqing instantly sensed the powerful lightning element contained within it.
"Among the Four Saints, Azure Dragon Palm is associated with Azure Wood and Thunder. This should be..." Chen Yun's eyes lit up as he approached. "We're allies, so you can keep this rune for now. We can distribute it after we've collected enough runes, how about that?"
"Oh?" Su Changqing looked at the other person in surprise. "Aren't you afraid I'll breach the contract later?"
"We're all from the South Sea lineage. If you breach the contract, I'll fight you to the death. I may not be able to defeat you, but my secret weapon can defeat Nie Youyun, and at least force you to go all out, right? It will definitely be a life-or-death struggle. If I win and you breach the contract first, the Su Family won't have anything to say. But if you win and I die, then even if your Su Family has 14 Holy Guards, you won't be able to stay in the South Sea. You should know which is more important," Chen Yun said coldly.
"You bastard." Su Changqing looked at him directly once again. He hadn't realized before that Chen Yun was such a scheming fellow.
The elders of the Su Family, who were watching from the sidelines, had rather strange expressions. They looked at Chen Baifeng and said, "We really didn't see the potential in this young man from Lord Chen."
"Hahaha," Chen Baifeng, feeling a little embarrassed for the first time.
Frankly speaking, in terms of temperament and decisiveness, Chen Yun is definitely capable of shouldering great responsibilities. It's just a pity that talent is the most unfair thing, which often leads to his children lacking grandeur and magnanimity. But then again, without sufficient ability, how can one display such grandeur?
He himself never expected that among the Chen Household's children, this one would be the one to make it to the end.
"There's trouble here." Chen Qing, who was standing to the side, didn't want to interrupt. After all, Chen Qing wasn't in the mood to judge other people's children. However, Chen Qing was interested in the trouble that had suddenly appeared on the screen.
"Hmm?" Chen Baifeng and the Su Family members looked over immediately, their brows furrowing.
The trouble Chen Qing mentioned is quite significant!
--
How did I run into her?
Just as the two put away the runes, they suddenly saw something neither of them wanted to see.
As Chen Yun just said, it's not convenient for the Jiangnan disciples to attack him, so as long as he has Shen Yuan's promise and he can cover for him, he has nothing to fear when encountering people from Jiangnan, unless he encounters Shen Yuan himself. Even so, given Shen Yuan's promise to fight one-on-one, he is still the most ideal opponent.
If I defeat him, the young men of Jiangnan will never attack me again; the reward is very high.
But the reward from this person is much lower, and it's probably much more dangerous than what Shen Yuan is facing.
"Young masters." The clear, melodious voice was as soft as a drizzle, and the person did not look dangerous at all; it was White Plain, the representative of the Northern Lands.
"Could we leave that rune behind?"
Chen Yun and Su Changqing's expressions both darkened. The other party's tone was very polite, but the meaning behind his words was very domineering, directly demanding that they hand over the runes they had just discovered.
"Young lady," Chen Yun said with a smile, "There's no need to specifically target our rune, is there? There are four kinds of these runes."
"I didn't want this either." White Plain sighed softly, raised her hand, and three bright lights appeared: two were cyan, and one was the same as the one they had just taken, carrying blue lightning.
Both of them narrowed their eyes upon seeing this; all three were Azure Dragon Rune!
That woman is so lucky.
This suddenly made them realize that as long as they defeated their opponent, they seemed to be not far from opening the Azure Dragon Treasure Hall. This battle was definitely worthwhile!
