Xiao Chen knew about Maple Leaf Lake. Hence, he did not get anyone to lead the way and rushed over with the two girls.
Along the way, Xiao Chen did not see any ordinary people in the vast territory of the Haotian Province. Many of the originally bustling cities were empty because they were not strategic nodes, looking desolate and cold.
As Xiao Chen flew, he spoke softly to the two girls. When he recalled the past scenes of the Haotian Province, he sighed in his heart. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Occasionally, the Haotian Sect disciples brushed past them. They all appeared to be in a hurry, appearing to be in a hurry. However, they all showed a common hatred for a common enemy, their fighting spirit still present.
Suddenly, a group of people flew over from the front, coincidentally meeting with Xiao Chen's group. When they looked up, both sides were slightly stunned.
The person leading the group was tall and stout. His eyes contained a strong fighting spirit. The person beside this person had delicate features and looked ordinary. However, there was a black Qi on his forehead.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and quickly recalled the identities of these two. The stout one was Situ Gang, an outstanding talent from the battle realms. Unfortunately, he did not rise up. When Xiao Chen first arrived at the Kunlun Realm, he had sought trouble for Xiao Chen.
The one on the right was Zhuo Yushi. When Xiao Chen first arrived at the Kunlun Realm, he had a good relationship with this person. However, Xiao Chen discovered that this person did not have a firm heart for the Dao, so they broke off contact.
The matters of the world were unpredictable. Unexpectedly, they met again today.
Situ Gang felt somewhat bitter. When Xiao Chen came out of the Kunlun Realm, his cultivation was lower than Situ Gang's. Now, the difference was like heaven and earth. Xiao Chen had already become a truly major character. He founded the Dragon's Gate and could compete with Martial Emperors.
After a long time, Situ Gang and Zhuo Yushi said together, "Greetings, Blue Dragon King."
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, "There's no need. Just address me as Senior Brother Xiao. Based on your poor complexion, you must have just returned from the battlefield."
Situ Gang nodded and said, "We just returned from Maple Leaf Lake. I'm fine, but Junior Brother Zhuo is rather injured. His internal injuries are rather serious."
Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. What a coincidence. He went over and said, "Let me take a look."
When Xiao Chen placed his finger on Zhuo Yushi's body, he immediately frowned. Death Qi flowed through Zhuo Yushi's meridians. His five viscera and six bowels had sustained significant damage. If he delayed any longer, his condition would worsen.
Making a prompt decision, Xiao Chen mobilized his Primordial Energy and directly swept away this deathly Qi as easily as breaking dry weeds.
Puchi!
Zhuo Yushi spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his complexion became much better. He hurriedly said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Yue Bingyun stepped forward and handed Zhuo Yushi a bottle of Medicinal Pills. She said, "These are Yang Essence Pills. They are very good for recovery for cultivators injured by death Qi."
"Yang Essence Pill! This is the Lunar Palace's holy medicine." Zhuo Yushi felt startled. When he looked up and saw Yue Bingyun's fairy-like appearance, he was shocked. "Are you the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter?"
Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and said, "Bingyun is no longer the Holy Daughter. Now, I am just an insignificant guest elder of the Dragon's Gate."
Xiao Chen was more concerned about the attack on Maple Leaf Lake. He asked Situ Gang, "Junior Brother Situ, you said that Maple Leaf Lake was attacked earlier. What is the exact situation? Can you tell me more about it?"
Situ Gang wondered why Xiao Chen asked this. However, he still answered honestly, "The Deity Dao Union launched a surprise attack on Maple Leaf Lake's node. Two Corpse Race Emperor Wu and many Corpse Race experts came at once.
"Right now, the battle is in a stalemate. The elders said that the inner palace already sent new experts to hold down the fort. So, they told us injured disciples to withdraw for now."
Xiao Chen nodded. After saying his goodbyes, he quickly rushed to Maple Leaf Lake with the two girls.
As Zhuo Yushi and Situ Gang watched Xiao Chen leave with the bronze sword box, they could not help revealing envious expressions. Once upon a time, Xiao Chen had been on the same starting line as them.
This was especially so for Zhuo Yushi. Back then, he had been on pretty good terms with Xiao Chen. Now, it looked like even the Lunar Palace's Holy Daughter had become Xiao Chen's confidante. However, back then, Zhuo Yushi had hesitated over whether he should call her a friend or not.
One hour later, Maple Leaf Lake appeared in Xiao Chen's vision. It was a vast lake.
On the mountain beside the lake, there were red maple trees as far as the eye could see. When the wind blew, fiery-red maple leaves would fall like rain.
This was how Maple Leaf Lake got its name. In the past, it was a famous scenic spot in the Haotian Province.
Now, the peace of the lake was broken. A group of Corpse Race cultivators was on the lake. These Corpse Race cultivators controlled the Demonic Corpses unique to the Corpse Race to charge at the small island in the middle of the lake, wanting to uproot this node.
Two of the Corpse Race cultivators attracted Xiao Chen's attention. These two people sat cross-legged on a coffin in the air, coldly watching the battle below.
The two had a golden armband on their right arm, a stark contrast to the red armband of the Haotian Sect.
It was clear that the two Corpse Race Emperor Wu had not made a move yet. This was because the person in charge of Maple Leaf Lake had not used the power of the formation yet.
The two Corpse Race Emperor Wu swept their gazes around and discovered Xiao Chen and Mo Chen rushing over.
"Are the reinforcements sent by the Haotian Sect? There is not even one Emperor Wu. To think that the Haotian Sect looks down on the two of us. "
"Old Yuan, I'll leave these three to you. I'll keep an eye on the situation below and see if there is an opportunity to severely injure this node."
"Whoosh!"
A dark-skinned, hemp-robed old man radiating Death Qi laughed maniacally as he quickly flew over on the coffin.
In a few breaths, this old man arrived before Xiao Chen. "Insignificant Blue Robed Emperor, and you dare to come and provide reinforcements? Die!"
This hemp-robed old man was not willing to waste time with Xiao Chen. He did not even bother to refine the Demonic Corpses under the coffin. He leaped up and flew towards Xiao Chen, throwing a palm strike. A mysterious phenomenon immediately appeared. A skinny, white bone hand crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, looking exceptionally scary.
Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a smile. To think that the First Heaven Emperor Wu dared to be so arrogant before him.
Truly, he must be tired of living.
Carrying the bronze sword box on his back, Xiao Chen did not move at all. With a flip of his hand, he sent out a Thousand Year Flame.
Even after a thousand cups of wine, the lofty sentiments and hot-bloodedness in one's chest were all in this one month.
The bright moon was like fire. With the force of Xiao Chen's palm strike, the bright moon descended from the sky and smashed into the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
The horrifying mysterious phenomenon immediately scattered. That hemp-robed old man was immediately covered in wounds. He flew back in a sorry state and landed on the coffin.
"Primordial Energy! You, a Blue Robed Emperor, actually know Primordial Energy! You are Xiao Chen, the Blue Dragon King Xiao Chen!"
The hemp-robed old man on the coffin revealed a horrified expression. He no longer had any desire to fight, so he turned and fled.
At the same time, he sent a voice projection to the other Corpse Race Emperor Wu, Quickly leave! Quickly leave! The Blue Dragon King Xiao Chen is here. You and I are not a match for him. Quickly retreat!
In the Heavenly Starry Ocean, Xiao Chen had even killed the Fifth Heaven Greater Heavenly Emperor Wu. This had caused a huge commotion in Emperor Wu's circle.
Although they knew that Xiao Chen had used some kind of Magic Treasure or Secret Technique, who knew if Xiao Chen could do it again? These two Corpse Race emperors wanted to snatch military merits in this sneak attack. They were not willing to die here for nothing.
"It's him!"
The other Corpse Race Emperor Wu was greatly startled. He shouted to the Corpse Race cultivators below, "Retreat!"
The Corpse Race cultivators on the small island in the middle of the lake could not understand what was going on. They clearly held the advantage. Two Emperor Wu's came to sneak attack this Maple Leaf Lake. Why did they retreat?
However, the higher-ups already gave the order, so they had no choice but to retreat. They immediately dove into the water like the receding tide.
The disciples on Maple Leaf Island were similarly shocked. They did not know what was going on. Why did the Corpse Race cultivators suddenly retreat in such a panic?
Even the two Corpse Race Emperor Wu's fled in panic.
There was clearly no third Emperor Wu present. This meant that there was no Emperor Wu among their reinforcements. However, why did the other party suddenly retreat?
"I'll be right back."
Xiao Chen said to the two girls beside him. Then, he carried the bronze sword box on his back and executed the Fish Dragon Art to give chase.
If he let two First Heaven Emperor Wu's escape, then Xiao Chen would not be able to forgive himself.
