Chapter 1185: Chapter 1183: Everyone’s Here (2nd Update)

"Hmph. Next time, don’t foolishly get scared by others. Where is the demeanor of a martial cultivator?" After laughing for several breaths, Yuan Mengyuan turned her head and looked at Yuan Qi, snorting in dissatisfaction.

People say that a bodyguard’s duty is to protect you, charging forward first when danger arises.

But Yuan Qi, when faced with danger, first shrinks away like a turtle and then advises her to do the same.

What kind of protection is that?!

Yuan Mengyuan was genuinely displeased with Yuan Qi.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Yuan Qi’s face grew redder with shame and anger, but he could only hold it in, yet his resentment towards Su Chen reached its ultimate peak.

"Thank you, Su Chen." Yuan Mengyuan looked at Su Chen again, smiling: "What you said about Qiu Shuang was really satisfying!!! She was already ugly! You were absolutely right!"

Su Chen rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat helpless.

He was slightly touched that this young lady of the Yuan Family would actually stand up for him, something he hadn’t expected.

Previously, Su Chen had insulted Qiu Shuang simply because she had involved him, resulting in a retort from him, and he was prepared for a confrontation with Qiu Shuang’s group.

Though the elder in Qiu Shuang’s group was quite powerful and Su Chen couldn’t match him, he was confident he could escape alive by leveraging Jiuyou’s strength.

Therefore, he didn’t need to hold back; he could simply erupt.

The honest truth is, he hadn’t expected nor hoped for Yuan Mengyuan to stand up for him.

After all, he was not truly a servant or protector of Yuan Mengyuan, nor was he a member of the Yuan Family, and his apparent realm seemed low, offering little value. It didn’t seem worth the risk, yet this young lady did just that.

A little naive but endearingly so.

"Alright, let’s find a hotel, eat something, rest a bit, then continue our journey. We’re nearing the Thunder Spirit Ruins." Yuan Mengyuan spoke, her mood seemingly quite good.

One day later.

In a dense forest.

Yuan Mengyuan sat inside a palanquin carried by four maids, accompanied by Yuan Qi, Yuan Ding, Old Yuan, and Su Chen.

The group’s pace was swift.

They were getting very close to the Thunder Spirit Ruins, and as they approached, they encountered more and more martial cultivators.

Originally, due to the Azure Underworld Sect’s bounty, many martial cultivators had entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains to search for Su Chen. After news of the Thunder Spirit Ruins spread, countless martial cultivators headed there.

Soon.

They arrived!!!

A sea of people.

Surrounding a hilltop.

Atop the hill, barren and rocky with a strange pale purple hue.

At the edge of the barren hill was a gate, a stone gate, surrounded by a layer of deep purple light!

The light was like a protective barrier, completely encasing the stone gate, and at times, there were purple lightning fluctuations on the barrier, emitting continuous low-pitched rumbling sounds.

Looking from afar, among the sea of people, loose cultivators made up the majority of the crowd, while the rest were members of various major forces.

"Xuu Family’s Xuu Xiao, Xing Family’s Xing Gu, Feng Family’s Feng Liu, Great Slayer Sect’s Sima Ling, Pang Family’s Pang Qian, and Qiu Family’s Qiu Shuang!" Inside the palanquin, Yuan Mengyuan suddenly spoke, her voice filled with some gravity: "Many have come!"

Those named by Yuan Mengyuan were all members of first-order forces.

"Miss, be careful. Regardless of whether we can obtain the Thunder Spirit, safety is the priority." Old Yuan’s expression was also quite serious.

Su Chen glanced around from afar.

Those from the first-order forces indeed came in impressive formations.

The strength of Xuu Xiao, Xing Gu, Feng Liu, Sima Ling, Pang Qian, and Qiu Shuang was formidable, ranging from the Fifth Level to the Eighth Layer Realm of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain.

None were weaker than Su Heng.

"Mengyuan has arrived..." At the next moment, a man with a tall stature, like a pine tree, handsome features, and a smiling face that felt like a spring breeze, holding a metal chain in his right hand, spoke with a smile.

Instantly.

Yuan Mengyuan and her group became the center of attention.

Many martial cultivators from second and third-level forces, as well as loose cultivators, respectfully greeted them.

Su Chen was also a focal point, mainly due to his bizarre attire of a black robe that nearly enveloped him completely, even half-covering his face, giving a cold and mysterious vibe.

Is he trying to avoid being seen?

Yet no one considered Su Chen to be the Su Chen sought by the Azure Underworld Sect’s bounty. After all, people thought that if that Su Chen had any sense, he wouldn’t dare join this chaos!

Wouldn’t that be courting death?

One should be hiding in a remote, unpopulated place.

"Young Master Xuu." Yuan Mengyuan descended from the palanquin, her beauty overwhelming the scene, her features truly outstanding.

"Hmph!" Qiu Shuang snorted, extremely displeased, casting another glance at Su Chen discreetly, her eyes filled with almost uncontainable malice.

"Mengyuan, once we’re inside the Thunder Spirit Ruins, let’s go together." Xuu Xiao spoke again, showing clear signs of admiration for Yuan Mengyuan.

"Let’s see when the time comes." Yuan Mengyuan neither accepted nor rejected his offer.

Xuu Xiao didn’t get angry, seemingly familiar with Yuan Mengyuan’s temperament.

Su Chen glanced at Xuu Xiao again; Xuu Xiao was quite strong, having reached the Early Stage of the Eighth Layer Realm in the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, making him one of the strongest among those present, aside from a few silent elders like Old Yuan.

"Su Chen, don’t speak rashly going forward, especially don’t provoke Xuu Xiao." Yuan Mengyuan unexpectedly moved closer to Su Chen, speaking: "Xuu Xiao ranks sixth on the List of Exceptional People. His strength is formidable."

"List of Exceptional People?" Su Chen didn’t have a Lingji Token, so he naturally didn’t know about the List of Exceptional People.

"Hm?" Yuan Mengyuan gave Su Chen a strange look; was there really someone who didn’t know about the List of Exceptional People? But seeing Su Chen’s expression, it didn’t seem like he was pretending; he really didn’t know.

"Here." Yuan Mengyuan thought for a moment and handed Su Chen a Lingji Token. The Lingji Token wasn’t cheap, but for Yuan Mengyuan, it was just a trivial item, giving one to Su Chen was nothing.

Su Chen accepted the Lingji Token.

The Lingji Token was like a jade pendant, but it was extremely special, containing fluctuating spiritual sense.

"You can check with your divine soul," Yuan Mengyuan advised.

Su Chen nodded, promptly checking with his divine soul, immediately seeing several messages related to the bounty on him!

And then the List of Exceptional People, among other things.

"Lingji Tokens are the means of information dissemination across War Ancient Sky. They come from Lingji Pavilion. With a Lingji Token, you can receive any message released by Lingji Pavilion immediately."

"Thank you!" Su Chen expressed sincerely; the Lingji Token was undoubtedly of great importance to him.
