On the other hand, Xiao Chen valued some of the Thunder King's cultivation insights. There were detailed records of Emperor Wu's cultivation after that.
Emperor Wu already stood at the top of the pyramid of this world. Any information about Emperor Wu, be it his cultivation or his Martial Techniques or destructive prowess, would be hard to find out.
Without reaching that level of cultivation and entering that circle, outsiders would find it hard to understand.
With the Thunder King's cultivation insights, Xiao Chen could take a peek into Emperor Wu's circle in advance.
However, no matter how uninterested he was, anything here could be sold for a sky-high price if it was casually thrown out.
As Xiao Chen walked around, he listened to Ao Jiao's detailed explanation. Then, he nodded and casually swept it into his Universe Ring.
"This is a set of treasured sabers known as the Seven Deadly Sins. They correspond to Pride, Envy, Rage, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust. All of them are Divine Weapons. Back then, the Thunder King spent a lot of effort to defeat the original owner and obtain this set of sabers. "
"Not bad. If the seven Divine Weapons are combined, their might would be no weaker than a Transcendent Divine Weapon. This is truly good stuff. I'll take it!"
"This is the Snow Ginseng King that has lived for fifty thousand years. It can increase Emperor Wu's cultivation by one hundred years. Back then, he snatched it from under the noses of a group of Sovereign Martial Emperors in the Heart of the Ocean."
"It can even increase Emperor Wu's cultivation. It truly lives up to being an Herb King. I'll take it."
"This is a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique. Unfortunately, it is a Sword Dao Martial Technique. You will not be able to learn it."
"Haha! It is not unfortunate. There are more people who study the sword than the saber in this world. If you change hands, you will be able to fetch a sky-high price. I'll take it!"
"This medallion seems to be an ancestral keepsake of one of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families. I wonder if this sect still exists."
"An ancestral keepsake? That is definitely not an ordinary item. I'll take it."
"This is a Soul Charming Grass. It is a peak-grade Divine Herb for nourishing the soul. It is also very valuable. Hehe! However, you cannot take it. This is what I want. "
…
By the time Ao Jiao finished explaining, there was not a single treasure left in the hall. Xiao Chen had kept all of them into his Universe Ring.
Although Xiao Chen had no use for the things here at the moment, and many of them might not even be of use in the future. However, every single one of them was priceless, and every single one of them was an unimaginable harvest for ordinary people.
The treasures that the Thunder King left behind were all of high quality. It would be a pity to lose any one of them.
To Xiao Chen, the most practical items were naturally the Innate Thunder Crystal and the Death Fruit. The former contained boundless energy. Xiao Chen did not know how strong his will of thunder would become after he finished devouring it.
Perhaps, before he reached Emperor Wu's level, he had already materialized his will of thunder and formed his own Innate Thunder Crystal.
As for the latter, its practicality was self-evident. It was one of the two necessities for cultivating the Life and Death Art.
After looking around the empty Thunder King Treasure Trove, Ao Jiao sighed, somewhat speechless. From now on, the heavy mark of the Thunder King in this world was gone.
"Xiao Chen, I would like to stay here for a while longer," Ao Jiao said.
Xiao Chen nodded to indicate his understanding. As the saying went, seeing something reminds one of the person. When one revisited an old place, it was hard not to recall the people and matters of the past.
Xiao Chen needed to properly digest the shock that the Innate Thunder Crystal brought him.
Now that it was very difficult to raise one's cultivation, it was extremely difficult for Xiao Chen to raise his combat prowess. To Xiao Chen, Sang Mu's Innate Thunder Crystal was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
As Xiao Chen absorbed the energy of the Innate Thunder Crystal, he familiarized himself with the might of the strengthened lightning saber soul. Hence, he was not bored.
After one hour, Ao Jiao tossed the key into the treasure trove. Then, she closed the heavy stone doors with a 'creak.' The history of the Thunder King was completely sealed behind these stone doors.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, not knowing what to say. He thought about how he had only met the Thunder King once. That was not a true meeting, just the mental mark that the Thunder King left on his weapon.
However, from this one meeting, Xiao Chen knew what kind of person the Thunder King was. Xiao Chen felt it was a great pity for the Thunder King's death.
Xiao Chen swore to himself that one day, he would find the true murderer of the Thunder King. Then, he would cast aside the dense fog and kill the enemy hiding in the shadows.
Ao Jiao's expression recovered somewhat. She smiled faintly and said, "Where are we going now? Are we going directly to the large merchant associations to search for news of the Flower of Life, or are we going to the Su Clan first? "
Xiao Chen answered without hesitation, "Let's go to the Su Clan first. It is better to deal with the matter that we promised those people first. I also want to know if there is still a gap between me and the half-step Emperor Wu. "
If everything went as expected, when Wang Feng returned, he would definitely tell the half-step Emperor Wu, who oversaw the Su Clan, about his encounter at the Su Clan.
Hence, before Wang Feng left, he reminded Wang Feng that if the Wang Clan's half-step Emperor Wu really came to kill him, Wang Feng should deal with him first and not clash head-on. Wang Feng should wait until he returned.
The Su Clan's city was built in this vast mountain range. It was not very far from the Thunder King's inheritance. Xiao Chen did not spend much time before he rushed back to the City Lord's Residence.
The instant Xiao Chen landed, he felt that something was wrong. The guards at the City Lord's Residence were nowhere to be seen. Even the signboard of the City Lord's Residence had been torn in half.
The aura of an intense battle lingered in the air. Xiao Chen's expression changed as he rushed in. In the end, he discovered that there was not a single person in the City Lord's Residence.
Occasionally, there were bloodstains on the ground. The signs of a battle were very obvious. However, it was not particularly intense. The entire City Lord's Residence was still relatively intact.
After searching the City Lord's Residence, Xiao Chen did not see a single living person or corpse. This was extremely strange.
Xiao Chen frowned and entered deep thought. The City Lord's Residence was not severely damaged. This meant that the battle did not take long. For someone to be able to sweep through the entire Su Clan's City Lord's Residence so quickly, there was only one possibility.
That half-step Emperor Wu of the Wang Clan had personally made a move. Not only that, but all the peak experts of the Wang Clan had also made a move.
"It looks like I said something that I should not have. I hope that I did not cause any big trouble."
Before Xiao Chen let Wang Feng go, he had said that for every Su Clan member he killed, he would kill ten Wang Clan members.
Perhaps this had touched the other party's reverse scale. Since the other party did not know of Xiao Chen's reputation, they might go berserk.
This was especially so for the half-step Emperor Wu of the Wang Clan. When he heard that this was just a brat of unknown origins, he might go even more extreme.
"You had best not do anything stupid. I am not someone who jokes around."
Seeing that the City Lord's Residence was empty, Xiao Chen's expression turned cold. After saying this with eyes filled with killing Qi, his figure flashed and he left the City Lord's Residence.
With such a huge commotion, the ordinary people in the city should have heard some news.
Right now, Xiao Chen only wanted to know what had happened to the Su Clan members. Were they dead or alive?
"Are you asking about the Su Clan? What is your relationship with the Su Clan? "
Xiao Chen asked casually as he stopped a passerby in the city. When the passerby heard Xiao Chen's question, his expression changed drastically, turning cautious.
"I have nothing to do with the Su Clan. I was just going to look for a friend. In the end, when I went to the City Lord's Residence, I discovered that it was completely empty. Just help me out and tell me what happened."
The passerby's expression made Xiao Chen's heart sink. So, he took out some Black Astral Coins and handed them over.
After the passerby received the Black Astral Coins, his expression improved. He said, "Two days ago, the Wang Clan's Clan Head suddenly came out of closed-door cultivation. Then, he led all the elites of the Wang Clan and charged into the City Lord's Residence. Using the strength of the half-step Emperor Wu, he swept through all the experts of the Su Clan and brought them all to Scorching Flame City."
Xiao Chen felt suspicious. He asked, "Since the Wang Clan is so strong, why did they let the Su Clan exist for so long? Why did they not make a move earlier?"
"This is something you do not know. The Su Clan's ancestor, Emperor Su He, had some good friends when he was alive. Although the Wang Clan had friends as well, they did not dare to make things too ugly. They only tried to force the Su Clan out of Scorching Flame Island.
"This time, I heard that the Su Clan hired a helper to injure a Supreme Elder of the Wang Clan, angering the Wang Clan's Clan Head. So, they did not bother to give him any face."
Xiao Chen sent this person away and entered deep thought. He made a move two days ago. Two days ago, it happened to be around the time when Xiao Chen entered the Thunder King's inheritance. The Su Clan moved really fast.
Wang Feng did not take Xiao Chen's advice to heart at all. Does he really think that I am just a Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor?
It looks like Xiao Chen is indeed too kind at times.
A light flashed, and Xiao Chen soared into the air. Then, he quickly flew towards the core of the island, Scorching Flame City. Xiao Chen unfurled the Freedom Wings and executed Thunder Dragon Steps. Then, he flew as fast as he could, as fast as lightning.
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised to discover that the strengthening of his will of thunder allowed him to control lightning-attributed energy even more smoothly.
One step, two steps, three steps …
Xiao Chen broke through the previous limit of twelve steps. Now, he could take fifteen steps in an instant. When he executed the Thunder Dragon Chop after fifteen steps, its might would probably double.
This was a pleasant surprise. Not only did it increase the speed of Thunder Dragon Steps, but it also increased the might of the Thunder Dragon Chop.
Inside Scorching Flame City:
The Su Clan's Clan Head, the group of Elders, and the Su Clan's disciples were all severely injured in the largest plaza in the city.
Tied with ropes, Xiao Chen knelt in front of the many cultivators in the plaza.
A Wang Clan bladesman holding a large saber stood beside every kneeling Su Clan member. With one order, they could decapitate all the Su Clan members, dying without a complete corpse.
The Wang Clan's Clan Head, Wang Feng, and the other Wang Clan cultivators stood on a tall platform in the plaza, looking down coldly at this group of prisoners.
The Wang Clan's Clan Head, Wang Yang, sat in the middle. His aged face was cold and filled with killing Qi. He was expressionless, and the might that flowed out of his body inspired fear in everyone who looked at him.
The aura of the half-step Emperor Wu made him the center of attention just by sitting there.
Wang Yang looked indifferently at the Su Clan's Clan Head and said, "Su Tianyun, all these years, I have not completely wiped out your Su Clan. You know the reason.
"It is not that I, Wang Yang, do not have the ability to do so. It is that your dead ancestor still has some influence. However, don't think that I can't do anything to you."
