Chapter 1534 (Raw 1516): Strange Situation

“Junior Sister Leng, the Azure Dragon King seems to be looking at you.”

“Yes, it seems like he really is. He has been looking for a while. Will he come over?”

“Hey, he left.”

The disciples in the plaza watched Xiao Chen’s every move. Naturally, they saw him turn around.

After the crowd sighed, this bustling scene quickly passed. Leng Liusu smiled faintly, not feeling melancholic or disappointed.

Everyone had their own fortuitous encounters; there was no need to envy or desire. At the very least, Xiao Chen gave Leng Liusu a glance at the end. That meant that he had not forgotten her. That was already enough; she had no regrets.

The Kunlun Palace was like a large courtyard on the mountain. All the buildings were covered in a dull layer of gold, not gold paint, but a certain special divine material that had been pulverized and refined.

Aside from looking pretty, it could connect formations and strengthen them. Xiao Chen had a feeling that even though he was walking in the palace, some kind of formation was excluding him.

The entire Kunlun Palace had many layers of faint golden light. As Xiao Chen walked in it and saw it, it glistened golden.

The two Kunlun Palace disciples were also bathed in a layer of light. However, Xiao Chen was exactly the same as before he entered the mountain. This affirmed his guess. He was not included. If the person who maintained the formation wanted to, he could send Xiao Chen out at any time.

Of course, this was if Xiao Chen did not resist.

Noble and elegant. This fitted the image of the Kunlun Palace standing above all the sects in the world.

There were jade-white steps spiraling down from the hall built on the highest point.

Xiao Chen followed the two Kunlun Palace swordsmen up the steps. When he arrived at the top, he saw that the hall had a signboard with the words “Qingyang Hall.”

According to legends, the founder of the Kunlun Palace was an extremely strong cultivator called Feng Qingyang.

Later, Qingyang Hall became the main hall, which only the Palace Master and select Elders could enter.

“We cannot enter this Qingyang Hall. Senior Azure Dragon King, please enter yourself. The Palace Master and a few Elders have already been waiting for a long time,” one of the disciples said with a smile.

After a short moment of silence, Xiao Chen stepped into the hall. However, all he saw was darkness.

This was a stark contrast to the brightly lit scene behind Xiao Chen. A sinister air spread through the dark hall.

“Whoosh!”

Six beams of light flickered in the dark space, and six figures appeared. One person sat on the main seat in front; he should be the Palace Master. The remaining five flanked him.

Within the dark space, the five Elders and the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master were covered in light. Their figures were clear to see. As for Xiao Chen, he was still bathed in darkness, looking like he was one with the darkness.

However, that Palace Master had his back to Xiao Chen, not turning around.

Xiao Chen was somewhat unaccustomed to this strange layout. However, he still asked politely, “Palace Master, why are you looking for me?”

“Try guessing?”

The Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master still did not turn around, saying something somewhat mischievous and making Xiao Chen somewhat depressed.

Try guessing?

These words were very simple; Xiao Chen naturally understood them. However, he could not be bothered to try guessing.

“Goodbye.”

Respect was mutual. By being willing to come, Xiao Chen was showing the other party respect. However, the other party did not even face him while saying such words. That was disrespectful to him.

There was no point in remaining here. Xiao Chen still needed to check on the current situation of the Dragon’s Gate’s people.

“You want to leave? I’m afraid that’s not up to you!” one of the five Kunlun Palace Elders said indifferently with a cold snort.

Xiao Chen recognized these five people. After his Emperor’s Road, he saw them once. After the Azure Dragon Palace’s matter, he saw them again.

However, those two times were merely images of them. This time was their true selves.

Xiao Chen had always held these five Elders in respect. He stopped and said, “Seniors, what exactly is the matter? Just be straightforward.”

“Whoosh!”

Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the Kunlun Palace’s Palace Master suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Chen.

His gaze was as sharp as a saber light. It flickered with resplendent light in the darkness, bringing a sharp and incredibly tyrannical aura with it, stabbing at Xiao Chen.

What a tyrannical Saber Might! What are the origins of this person?! Xiao Chen thought to himself as he brought out his Dao Might and easily blocked the other party’s Saber Might.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The light on the six suddenly vanished in the dark space. Then, the light encased Xiao Chen in layers.

Immediately, Xiao Chen could no longer see the six in this pitch-dark hall. However, he was exposed before the six.

The six could clearly see any moves Xiao Chen made, no matter how minute.

Interesting. Xiao Chen’s lips curled up. Are they trying to interrogate me?

“Azure Dragon King, now, the Kunlun Realm is in danger. Please disclose how to surpass Prime.” A voice rang out in the darkness.

“Please forgive me for using such a method. Inside this Qingyang Hall, the strength of outsiders is suppressed by half.

“As long as you are willing to tell us the secret of surpassing Prime, we will naturally let you go. All of us will work together and resist the Demons, dealing with this calamity together.

“I hope you can consider the big picture and not act rashly.”

Xiao Chen’s heart sank. It turned out that this was a trap laid for him. Then, he tried to circulate his Veritable Essence Energy.

He discovered that his ability to circulate his Veritable Essence Energy was not affected. However, since the other party said that his strength would be suppressed to half, that should not be false.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of it. Now, he somewhat understood what was going on. From the very start, he had been excluded from the Kunlun Palace’s formation.

Perhaps this was where the problem lay.

He had no problems with circulating his Veritable Essence Energy. However, offensive power and destructive power were affected.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chen hated being forced. Threatening him would not work at all.

At first, he had held respect for these people. However, all of it was gone, leaving only deep disgust.

“Acting all mysterious, just tell me what you want straight to my face.” Xiao Chen snorted coldly, ignoring the other party’s words.

In the end, after all those words, they only wanted one thing: for Xiao Chen to hand over the secret to surpassing Prime. However, not to mention that were was no secret behind it, even if there was, Xiao Chen would not be frightened into handing it over.

What was the problem with talking cordially? Was there a point in laying such a trap?

“It looks like you do not agree. In that case, we can only use some forceful methods.”

A strand of sword Qi flew at Xiao Chen without a sound in the darkness.

“Dang!”

Xiao Chen held his saber across his chest, blocking this sword Qi, which pushed him back one hundred meters.

The light that encased Xiao Chen lingered without scattering, like it was a ghost. As for the person who attacked, he remained in the darkness with no traces of him showing.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

The five Elders worked together and attacked, launching a powerful bombardment at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen calmly defended himself, backing up step by step and dealing with the attacks as they came.

The other party was hidden in darkness, invisible to the physical eye. His Spiritual Sense also found it hard to locate them.

A formless barrier blocked the attacks Xiao Chen sent out, decreasing their might by half. This placed him in a passive position.

The five old men sent out killing moves relentlessly, not sparing any energy. The moves originated from various races—some from the Deity Race, some human, some from the Ghost Race—and were extremely tricky to deal with.

Xiao Chen was like a small boat caught in a strong storm, one that could flip over at any moment.

“Hand over the secret to surpassing Prime, and everything can be discussed.”

“Otherwise, you can forget about leaving this hall.”

“The Kunlun Realm is in peril right now. Azure Dragon King, are you going to be that selfish?”

The roars were like thunder. The five Elders kept yelling demands as they attacked Xiao Chen.

“How noisy!” Xiao Chen shouted coldly.

This was truly unbearable, so there was no need to continue bearing it. He suddenly drew his Lunar Shadow Saber.

“Whoosh!”

The instant the saber left its scabbard, a resplendent saber light lit up the entire hall. The figures of the five old men immediately appeared.

“Cloud Reaching Stance!

“Void Breaking Stance!

“Dragon Subduing Stance!

“Falling Moon Stance!

“Heartbreaking Stance!”

Xiao Chen immediately executed the Flawless Saber Technique. Then, he appeared to split into five. With the support of Great Dao Energy, every move was startlingly mighty.

“Pu ci!” Horror appeared in the eyes of the five old men as their defenses were torn apart. Then, they vomited a mouthful of blood and went flying back.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” The afterimages merged back as Xiao Chen sheathed his saber.

“Ka ca!” Suddenly, there was a sound of fingers snapping in the darkness. Then, all the lamps in the entire hall lit up, sweeping away the darkness.

For the first time, Xiao Chen clearly saw the situation in the large hall. The five old men that he knocked back had already disappeared somewhere.

Only the person on the main seat in the large hall remained. He stood up with his hair in utter disarray, not caring about his appearance as he looked at Xiao Chen with an evil smile.

“Indeed, you are the Thunder Emperor’s inheritor. You did not disappoint me.”
