Xiao Chen's heart ached when he saw the woman's pleading and helpless eyes. Reality was so cruel. When you were lonely, others would ride on your head and bully you. When you were strong, others would try to curry favor with you.
Xiao Chen revealed a kind smile when he saw the lonely and helpless woman. He said indifferently, "Don't worry. Your grandmother will be fine."
With that, he flipped his hand, and a Nine Revolutions Soul Return Pill appeared. He fed it to the heavily injured granny.
Then, he looked at the woman who was filled with joy and hope. Xiao Chen said indifferently, "This is a powerful healing pill. Your grandmother will recover very quickly."
"Really? That's great! Thank you! Thank you! " The moment she heard that, a wild smile appeared on the woman's face. She cried tears of joy as she thanked Xiao Chen repeatedly.
At this moment, the woman with a sweet smile on her face and her white gauze dress made her look as beautiful as an angel. Due to her joy, she seemed extremely lively. Xiao Chen could not help but take a second look at her.
"What … what a powerful pill. What kind of pill is this? She's a late-stage Saint Ruler. She's heavily injured, but she can recover so quickly in an instant! "The shopkeeper was stunned. He stared blankly at the granny.
The granny's injuries were recovering at a terrifying speed. Her pale face had already regained some color. She slowly regained consciousness, and her body could move slightly.
Sensing the granny's slight movement, the smile on the woman's face widened. She went forward and asked joyfully, "Granny, granny, how do you feel?"
Hearing that, the granny breathed in gently. Her face, which had already regained some color, revealed a faint smile. She said, "Granny is fine. Granny feels much better."
"That's great! Grandma, do you know, just now I was so afraid that you would leave me! "The moment she heard this, tears flowed down her cheeks. The woman hugged the old lady and cried.
"She … she's actually recovered!" The shopkeeper's heart trembled. He simply couldn't believe it. His eyes widened as he looked at Xiao Chen. He really didn't know what kind of medicinal pill Xiao Chen had just taken out. It actually had such a terrifying healing effect.
"Grandma, he was the one who saved you." After venting her emotions, the woman quickly came to her senses and pointed at Xiao Chen as she spoke to the old woman.
The old lady looked at Xiao Chen with her deep eyes and nodded slightly. She smiled kindly and said, "Young man, thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I would be worried about my granddaughter."
"Granny, you're too polite." Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before continuing, "Granny, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Please be careful."
"Where are you going?" Hearing that Xiao Chen was about to leave, the woman's expression changed slightly. She hurriedly reached out to grab Xiao Chen's arm and asked.
"I want to go to the Divine Cliff Town." Xiao Chen said indifferently as he glanced at the woman.
"The Divine Cliff Town? We happen to live in the Divine Cliff Town. Big brother, can you take us there? " The woman's pretty face froze for a moment before she revealed a joyful smile. She hurriedly asked, as if she was worried that what had just happened would happen again.
After thinking about it, she turned around and looked outside. The onlookers had already dispersed, and the unconscious man was nowhere to be found. She was a little worried. Xiao Chen nodded and said indifferently, "Okay, let's go."
Since it was on the way, he would help her to the end. There was no trouble.
"That's great! Thank you, big brother. Granny, let's go. " The woman's pretty face revealed a sweet and bright smile once again. She immediately helped the old lady up and left the medicinal shop with Xiao Chen.
In the sky above the Divine Sky City, a black shadow suddenly appeared. It didn't emit any energy aura. Without a certain level of cultivation, one wouldn't be able to detect it.
"Xiao Chen, I didn't expect you to come to the eastern region alone. Since you've come to the Divine Sky City, you've undoubtedly come for the divine metal. You've walked right into the trap." High up in the sky, the mysterious man stared at Xiao Chen, who was in the Divine Sky City below, and sneered.
This person was the Black Wind commander under Yan Kui!
"Since you've come to the eastern region, don't even think about going back!" The cold smile on his face deepened as he said coldly. His figure then mysteriously vanished.
Along the way, the old lady studied Xiao Chen from time to time. Although she was grateful that Xiao Chen had helped her, the old lady was still a little wary because he was a stranger.
The old lady's actions naturally couldn't escape Xiao Chen's powerful senses. However, Xiao Chen didn't take it to heart. It was normal for her to be wary.
Along the way, the three of them had already gotten to know each other. The old lady was called Hua Lian, and the people of the Divine Cliff Town called her Granny Hua. The woman was called Hua Ling. Just like her name, she was smart and beautiful.
"Brother Xiao Chen, are you also going to the Divine Cliff Town to find divine metal?" After leaving the Divine Sky City, Hua Ling asked curiously as she stared at Xiao Chen with her beautiful eyes on the mountain path to the Divine Cliff Town.
The Divine Cliff Town was right beside the Divine Sky City. It was only a few minutes away, so Xiao Chen and the others chose to walk.
Hearing that, Xiao Chen nodded nonchalantly. He smiled and said, "That's right. Unfortunately, divine metal is too rare. I don't have much hope. I'm just here to take a look."
"Divine metal is indeed hard to find. The people who came to the Divine Cliff Town and the Divine Sky City have been searching for countless years, but no one has found any. Rather than wasting time, it's better to cultivate," Granny Hua said softly with a smile.
"Yeah, granny Hua is right." Xiao Chen nodded and smiled. After a moment of gloominess, Xiao Chen suddenly asked, "Oh right, granny Hua, why were you so heavily injured before? Why were they so vicious? Was it an enemy or …? "
Granny Hua helplessly sighed. After a moment of silence, she bitterly smiled and said, "A powerful organization has arrived recently. In order to find divine metal, they plan to destroy the God Artifact Mountain and find it. As a result, everyone in the Divine Cliff Town has moved away. The others are afraid of being implicated, so they've already moved away. However, my ancestors are still in the Divine Cliff Town. They've lived there for many generations. Even if I die, I can't die without my ancestors, so they've attacked me."
Pausing, she continued, "The divine metal contains great power. Because of the divine metal, it's impossible for regular cultivators to destroy the God Artifact Mountain unless they're Saint Emperors. However, most Saint Emperors are worried that destroying the God Artifact Mountain will lead to the destruction of the divine metal as well, so no one has done it in all these years. However, they're determined to destroy the God Artifact Mountain. The Divine Cliff Town won't be able to withstand such terrifying power. It'll definitely be destroyed."
"Since they're Saint Emperors, they can set up a barrier to protect it," Xiao Chen said with a frown. Under the protection of such great power, there would definitely be no problem.
Xiao Chen also felt that granny Hua was a little stubborn. Everyone else had moved away except for her. Did that mean everyone else did not have ancestors? Was life more important than the Divine Cliff Town? Not to mention, Hua Ling was her granddaughter. She could not joke about her granddaughter, right?
"The God Artifact Mountain is connected to the Divine Cliff Town's necklace. Once the God Artifact Mountain is destroyed, even if the Divine Cliff Town has a powerful barrier, it won't be able to stop the tremors from the mountain. At that time, the Divine Cliff Town will still be destroyed," Granny Hua shook her head and bitterly smiled.
"Is no one going to stop them?" Xiao Chen followed up with a question.
"They have far too many experts. Even if many people disagree, no one is bold enough to stop them. They're probably going to move soon. Let's go back and take a look," said granny Hua. She immediately sped up as well.
"Just what organization is so powerful in the eastern region?" Xiao Chen wondered inside as he sped up as well.
All the buildings in the town had been destroyed as all the residents had moved away. It was a mess.
The Divine Cliff Town was on the edge of a cliff, and the mountain where the town resided just happened to be connected to the God Artifact Mountain on the other side of the cliff. Even with the barrier cast down by Saint Emperors, the tremors would still reach the town once the God Artifact Mountain was destroyed.
The god metal contained the power of experts. Without great power, it was impossible to destroy the God Artifact Mountain. Once the great power erupted, the entire mountain would shake violently, and the town would definitely be destroyed.
At this moment, countless cultivators had gathered above the town and around the God Artifact Mountain. Everyone's gazes gathered on the dozen or so experts on the peak of the mountain.
They were the people who planned on destroying the God Artifact Mountain.
"If it weren't for the god metal, the God Artifact Mountain would never possess such terrifying power. Probably just Old Man alone won't be able to destroy it." An old man placed his hand on the ground and sensed. A while later, he slowly stood up and shook his head sternly.
"Must we destroy the God Artifact Mountain?" Another old man asked with a frown. He seemed to be worried about something.
The old man who had spoken before nodded firmly with that. He said, "That's right. The young hall master is waiting for the god metal to recover. Our power may damage the god metal, but it won't affect the young hall master's recovery."
"Let's do it," another person said sternly.
Nodding, a Saint Emperor glanced at the crowd nearby and suddenly yelled out, "Back off if you don't want to die! Once the God Artifact Mountain is destroyed, the god metal will definitely appear. You might be able to obtain it then. "
Countless people all backed away with that. The power of a Saint Emperor was not something they could endure. They could not even endure the shockwaves.
Among the dozen or so people, there were four Saint Emperors. The rest were all Saint Lords.
Hum! Hum!
Extremely terrifying strength was unleashed at the same time. Destructive energy soared into the sky, and the space within a radius of a few million feet shook violently. Immediately, it collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the surroundings had already turned dark.
Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically when he sensed the four terrifying powers. He frowned, "Are they going to start?"
"Stop! You can't destroy the God Artifact Mountain! " Granny Hua suddenly sped up and charged over like a bolt of lightning. At the same time, she yelled fearlessly.
"Grandma!" Hua Ling's expression changed as she called out in panic.
"Granny Hua, don't go over! There's danger! "Xiao Chen's expression changed again. He hurriedly yelled and dashed out.
