Xiao Chen's face sank as he snorted coldly. Then, he raised the Thousand Year Flame in his left hand and the Thousand Year Death in his right. Two bright moons, one scarlet like blood and one bright like fire, soared into the air behind Xiao Chen, forming a miraculous scene of two moons competing with each other.
This palm strike clashed with the two old men's attacks, causing the two old men to vomit blood and retreat. They fled with panicked expressions on their faces.
Xiao Chen did not give chase. He frowned slightly and said, "What's going on in this city? When I mentioned the Su Clan's name, they immediately attacked me."
Could something have happened in the past one thousand years?
Is he dead?
After sneaking into the city, Xiao Chen asked around and obtained a completely unexpected answer.
The Human Demon Martial Emperor Su He died five hundred years ago, dying on the path to Sovereign Martial Emperor.
Such an answer truly caught Xiao Chen by surprise. This was even harder to deal with than leaving Scorching Flame Island expected.
The Su Clan, the overlord of Scorching Flame Island back then, quickly declined after Su He died.
Right now, the Su Clan was on the brink of collapse on Scorching Flame Island. The factions that the Su Clan had once suppressed had risen and were suppressing the Su Clan again and again.
The Su Clan had been chased out of Scorching Flame City long ago. Now, they occupied a city on the northwestern edge of Scorching Flame Island.
Although the Su Clan was still one of the two major factions of Scorching Flame Island, it was in a gloomy state. Everyone knew that the Su Clan would not last for long before the Wang Clan chased them out of Scorching Flame Island.
There was no such thing as a man living a good life for a thousand days and a flower blooming for a hundred days.
Right now, the largest faction on Scorching Flame Island was the Wang Clan. The two old men who blocked Xiao Chen from entering the city were the Wang Clan's inner clan elders.
The Wang Clan's Clan Head possessed the strength of a half-step Emperor Wu. Aside from that, there were two Consummation Blue Robed Emperor experts. In this Scorching Flame Island without Emperor Wu, the Wang Clan's reputation as the strongest was well-deserved.
"Thank you."
After giving the waiter who told him the news some compensation, Xiao Chen picked up his teacup and entered deep thought.
This was really a little troublesome. The guardian of the Thunder King's inheritance had passed away. It was unknown whether the key had been given to his descendants or buried with the key.
"Ao Jiao, what do we do now?" Xiao Chen asked, putting down the teacup.
Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, thought for a while before saying, Let's go to the Su Clan and take a look first. Without the key, I cannot open the Thunder King's inheritance.
"I hope everything goes well."
After getting up and settling the bill, Xiao Chen suddenly sensed a powerful aura flying rapidly in his direction. The two elders who were injured by him earlier were also following behind this powerful aura.
One Perfected Blue Robed Emperor and two Advanced Blue Robed Emperors.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "You really think highly of me."
Now that Xiao Chen faced a Consummation Blue Robed Emperor, he did not fear him at all. Even someone as strong as the straw-caped old man would be confident of defeating him.
However, there was no need to cause too much commotion at this moment. After circulating the Foundation Returning Art to cover up his aura, Xiao Chen silently left this place.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, three cultivators appeared at the entrance of this teahouse.
The person in the middle had purple hair and red eyes. He did not look old. The moment he appeared, the bustling teahouse immediately fell silent.
This startled the manager of the teahouse. What could have startled the Wang Clan's Supreme Elder, Wang Feng? Furthermore, there were two Advanced Perfection Blue Robed Emperors with him.
Now, the Wang Clan was like the local tyrant of this vast Scorching Flame Island. No one dared to defy them. Normally, the Wang Clan's people were arrogant and despotic; no one dared to offend them.
The manager quickly ran over and smiled apologetically, "Senior Wang, what brings you here?"
The purple-haired, middle-aged man did not say anything. Instead, the old man that Xiao Chen injured at the side asked bluntly, "Have you seen a white-robed youth? He is not a local. His characteristics are very obvious, so you should be able to recognize him easily."
"Yes, he just left not long ago." Seeing this person's ferocious expression, how could the manager dare not speak the truth?
The expression of the purple-haired, middle-aged man, Wang Feng, changed slightly. He asked sullenly, "Are you sure he just left?"
"He really just left not long ago. This little one does not dare to hide anything."
Wang Feng muttered, "Strange, he just left not long ago. Why does it feel like he vanished completely from my perception? There is no such peak Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor here."
"Could it be that this fellow learned some Secret Technique to hide his aura and managed to hide?"
Wang Feng nodded and entered deep thought. After a while, he said, "That should be it. This person's strength is not simple. Don't offend him for no reason."
"However, he seems to have some connection to the Su Clan. Furthermore, he injured us without saying a word," one of the old men said carefully.
Wang Feng smiled coldly and said, "I'll make some time to make a trip there personally. If he really has some connection to the Su Clan, I will make sure that he cannot leave Scorching Flame Island. If not, just treat it as a small loss. In the future, just be more careful. "
"The two of you, don't think that you are unrivaled in the sea region around Scorching Flame Island just because you can cover the sky with one hand."
After saying that, the purple-haired, red-eyed Wang Feng could not be bothered with these two, so his figure flashed and he left.
This caused the two old men that Xiao Chen injured to exchange glances, feeling upset.
"However, Old Wang personally made a move. If this brat really has some connection to the Su Clan, he will definitely die a miserable death."
"That is natural. Old Wang is a peak Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor. If the half-step Emperor Wu does not appear, who can match him?"
…
Scorching Flame Island was about the same size as Xiao Chen's conferred land, Heavenly Star Island. It was as large as a province in the Tianwu Domain. Even if an ordinary person rode on horseback for three months, they would not be able to cross it.
As for the Blue Robed Emperor, especially a demonic genius like Xiao Chen, there was no need for him to go through so much trouble.
When night fell, Xiao Chen used only seven or eight minutes to easily reach a city at the northwestern edge of Scorching Flame Island.
It was a city that was built on a desolate mountain, and it was the current location of the Su Clan. Compared to the bustling and bustling Scorch City, it seemed to be desolate and cold. It was no wonder that it seemed to be lethargic in the words of others.
It looked like this Su Clan was indeed forced into a miserable state. Soon, they would be forced out of Scorching Flame Island.
With his previous experience, Xiao Chen continuously circulated his Foundation Returning Art this time. He traveled silently, not startling anyone as he arrived at the City Lord's Residence.
At this moment, the large hall of the City Lord's Residence was brightly lit. The Su Clan's Clan Head and the Su Clan Elders were all gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
Without startling anyone, Xiao Chen quietly landed on the roof. When he saw the brightly lit hall and the grave expressions of the Su Clan Elders, he could not help but listen out of curiosity.
"Big Bro, the Wang Family is being too aggressive right now. Several of our resource islands have been occupied by the Wang Family. We can't go on like this."
"The Wang Clan's people are too tyrannical. They are simply pushing us to our deaths. Not only did they chase us out of Scorching Flame City, they even want to occupy our resource islands. They are trying to break our roots!"
"Big Brother, make a decision. The ancestral teachings can be changed. Right now, the Wang Clan is at a critical juncture. I believe that Old Ancestor Su He will forgive us."
Everyone in the room stared at the Su Clan's Clan Head, who sat in the middle, with a fiery gaze, hoping that he would make a decision.
Xiao Chen checked with his Spiritual Sense and discovered that this person held a simple and unadorned purple key in his hand. He had a conflicted expression, clearly in great pain.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chen immediately understood what was going on. After Su He died, he did indeed hand the key to his descendants. At the same time, he left a will to wait for the Thunder King's inheritor to appear.
However, now that the Su Clan was at a critical juncture, these Elders wanted to use the treasures left behind by the Thunder King. They wanted to rely on the treasures left behind by the Thunder King to survive this calamity and regain their position as the overlord of Scorching Flame Island.
"How shameless! How can you steal the things left behind by our benefactor?!" Ao Jiao cursed from the Immortal Spirit Ring, her face flushed red with anger.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Don't get agitated. Let's see what decision that Su Clan's Clan Head will make."
Xiao Chen was not a bloodthirsty person. However, if the Su Clan's Clan Head made the wrong decision, he would not mind starting a massacre.
Inside the hall, when the Su Clan's Clan Head saw his fervent brothers, a complicated expression appeared in his eyes.
He knew that these people missed the Su Clan's position as the overlord of Scorching Flame Island. They could not endure their current sullenness. He could understand how these brothers felt.
However, this was something passed down by their ancestors. Before the old ancestor died, he had warned them repeatedly. As the Clan Head, he did not dare to make a rash decision.
"Don't mention this matter. The things in there are not the old ancestor's but the old ancestor's benefactor's. If I really take them, how am I going to face the old ancestor after I die? "
After thinking for a while, the Su Clan's Clan Head made a decision that disappointed all his brothers.
"Congratulations. You've made the right choice."
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen nimbly somersaulted and suddenly appeared in the Su Clan's hall.
"Who is it?!"
Xiao Chen's silent appearance frightened the group of people in the hall. The peak experts of the Su Clan were all gathered here, but they did not sense his presence at all.
When the Su Clan's Clan Head sized up Xiao Chen, they discovered that he was only a peak Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor. However, the pressure from his aura was even more horrifying than that of a half-step Emperor Wu.
The Su Clan's Clan Head calmly waved his hand and stopped the flustered Elders. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and asked, "Might I ask who you are and why you are eavesdropping on us?"
Xiao Chen looked at the purple key on the table and said calmly, "I do not have any malicious intentions. The person you are waiting for is me."
Sensing Xiao Chen's gaze, the Su Clan's Clan Head grabbed the key in his hand and said with a grave expression, "I do not know what you are talking about. I am not waiting for anyone. I think you are mistaken."
Not bad. Even at this moment, he can still remain cautious.
Xiao Chen praised the Clan Head in his heart. If his words caused the Clan Head's expression to change drastically and reveal everything, then Xiao Chen had underestimated the Clan Head's composure.
"Haha! Do you need me to explain? I am the inheritor of the Thunder King. The person Emperor Su He wants you to wait for is me. The key in your hand is mine. "
The moment Xiao Chen spoke, the expressions of the group of people in the hall who wanted to open the Thunder King's inheritance changed.
They did not expect to meet the person in question. Furthermore, the other party heard that the descendants of the protectors wanted to take the inheritance for themselves. Their expressions turned complicated.
