"These old bones are really unpalatable!"
The Demon Blood Vulture said with some dissatisfaction as it spat out a storage ring.
A Holy Venerate, Withered Leaf City's City Lord, was gone, just like that. The Demon Blood Vulture swallowed him whole, not even leaving scraps. He was truly pitiful.
This pitiful person definitely had something hateful about him. He was so greedy, his desires inflated.
Such an outcome could be said to be his own doing and could not be spared.
If the Demon Blood Vulture only extorted a Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant and then sent Xiao Chen away, this would be a fair deal.
The Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant was a Superior Grade Soul Tool carefully selected by the Scarlet Blood Pirate King. Its value was very high, and the Demon Blood Vulture profited greatly.
Upon seeing the medallion, the guards looked at Xiao Chen, and their expressions changed.
This was a rare VIP medallion. Without an extraordinary background, one would not be able to obtain it.
"Young Master, this way, please."
One of the guards respectfully led Xiao Chen to the trans-realm transportation formation in the City Lord's Residence.
After killing Withered Leaf City's City Lord and Bai Feng, Xiao Chen showed a calm expression, not showing any openings.
Instead, he even got the Withered Leaf City's City Lord's guard to respectfully lead him to the trans-realm transportation formation.
It had to be said that this kind of psychological quality was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
If an ordinary person killed a Holy Venerate, it would be impossible for it to not cause a commotion.
The moment Xiao Chen stepped out of the City Lord's Residence, he would be discovered. The result would be death.
The City Lord's Residence had many experts, far more than ordinary people imagined.
The guard led Xiao Chen to a place in the City Lord's Residence that was heavily guarded with many checkpoints.
As this was not the time for the trans-realm transportation formation to open yet, there was no one here aside from the City Lord's Residence experts.
"Senior Ma, someone is carrying the City Lord's VIP medallion and is going to use the trans-realm transportation formation."
The guard called out when he stopped at a checkpoint.
"Medallion."
A cold voice came from behind the checkpoint, sounding simple and forceful.
Xiao Chen took out the medallion and got the guard to bring it over. Soon, he was invited over.
After passing the checkpoint, a huge Dao Platform appeared before Xiao Chen. It was made of ancient divine materials and gave off a faint glow.
Flickering Superior Grade Spirit Jades filled the gaps of the Dao Platform.
The entire platform had a circumference of a thousand meters, and its surface was carved with mysterious runes that formed a complicated formation.
There were many experts near the Dao Platform.
The scariest ones were the eight gray-clad old men guarding the surroundings. Without exception, they were all peak late-stage Star Venerates, existences comparable to Holy Venerates.
A heavy aura floated in the air. Standing in front of this Trans-Boundary Teleportation Array, it made people feel an extremely uncomfortable pressure.
The gray-robed man addressed as Senior Ma stood up. He was a Holy Venerate expert. He walked towards Xiao Chen and said, "The token is real. However, you are just an insignificant Star Venerate. Why did the City Lord give you the VIP token?"
Xiao Chen's eyes burned like torches as he stared straight at Xiao Chen. The might of a Holy Venerate spread out indistinctly.
The pressure it gave off was extremely strong.
Xiao Chen did not feel pressured at all. He retorted indifferently, "Why don't you go and ask the City Lord yourself?"
Senior Ma snorted coldly and tossed the token to Xiao Chen. "Humph! Don't give me that. In our eyes, the City Lord is just a representative. Quickly tell us where you want to go. We will send you there directly. "
Senior Ma had only asked casually, not truly suspecting Xiao Chen. When he saw Xiao Chen's unyielding attitude, he dropped the matter.
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying, "The Yanwu Dynasty."
"The Yanwu Dynasty is boundlessly vast. Aside from the dynasty's capital, there are one hundred and eighteen provinces. Each province is as large as half a great realm. Which province or county are you going to?"
Senior Ma asked somewhat impatiently.
Xiao Chen did not know which province to go to. If he went directly to the Hidden Spirit Temple, that was unlikely.
A Demonic Dao city definitely did not have a trans-boundary transportation formation that led directly to a large Buddhist sect.
The two of them were sworn enemies.
"Soaring Dragon Province, Soaring Dragon County."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen mentioned the only address he knew of in the Yanwu Dynasty — the Soaring Dragon Marquis's conferred land.
Xiao Chen recalled that Lan Luo's father, the Soaring Dragon Marquis, was the master of that province.
No matter what, he would be completely safe after going to the Yanwu Great Realm. He could go anywhere he wanted.
At that time, when the little monk woke up, Xiao Chen would not have to worry about him anymore.
Xiao Chen wanted to go directly to the Divine Dragon Empire. However, given the little monk's situation, he could only send him back first.
After all, it would be much more convenient to go to the Divine Dragon Empire after arriving in the Central Great Realm than to the Divine Dragon Empire from the Ash Gray Sea.
"Send him over," Senior Ma said expressionlessly.
Old Ma said expressionlessly. The eight old men started forming hand seals together, and the magic arrays on the Dao Platform activated one after another.
A mysterious pillar of light soared into the clouds.
After a long time, sweat continuously dripped down the eight old men's foreheads.
A circular door of light appeared in the center of the Dao Platform. The light screen looked like smooth water, glowing like a mirror.
Xiao Chen knew that he could reach his destination after passing through the door of light.
Xiao Chen pushed off with his feet and gently drifted into the door of light.
Just as Xiao Chen entered the door of light, someone suddenly rushed over with a flustered expression.
"We can't let him leave. The City Lord's life medallion shattered!"
Senior Ma's expression immediately changed. He turned around and said, "Quick! Stop the trans-realm transportation formation!"
"It's too late."
The eight old men had weak expressions as they spoke with great difficulty.
"Damn it!"
Senior Ma roared, and his Holy Venerate Will surged out and crashed into the door of light.
Tiny cracks immediately appeared in the water-curtain-like door of light.
"Boom!"
Senior Ma was not done yet. His aura soared as he threw a palm strike. The palm strike shattered the door of light, turning it into countless figures of light.
"Pu ci!" The eight old men maintaining the formations all vomited a mouthful of blood.
They immediately suffered a huge backlash and fainted on the Dao Platform.
"Speak! What's going on?" Senior Ma shouted coldly, making the person who came to report tremble.
"The City Lord and Commander Bai mysteriously invited this person in today and even laid a restriction. When he came out, he brought the City Lord's distinguished guest medallion. At that time, the City Lord's life medallion shattered, but we did not immediately suspect him. After all, he is just a Star Venerate. Furthermore, Commander Bai was there. "
The person who came trembled in fear, speaking in a trembling voice.
Doubt flashed in Senior Ma's eyes. Even if it were him, he could not imagine that the Withered Leaf City's City Lord would die at Xiao Chen's hands.
Even now, Senior Ma did not think that the murderer was Xiao Chen.
However, there had to be some connection to this matter. It had to be related to Xiao Chen. Senior Ma was not satisfied with just letting Xiao Chen leave.
However, the door of light shattered. Even if this fellow appeared in the Yanwu Dynasty, he would not be able to escape death.
However, the City Lord's death would become a mystery.
