--- In the ancient city, after Qin Aotian's group died and only three people remained, they finally escaped the pursuit of the Flood Dragon Humans.
"Those people seem to have retreated."
Zhong Li said cautiously as he sized up the surroundings after not seeing any movement for a long time.
Beside him, Liu Yunfei's shoulder was bleeding profusely. His injury was terrifying.
"Junior Brother, is your arm okay?"
Zhong Li asked sullenly. Of the White Dragon Palace disciples that came with him, only Liu Yunfei remained.
The price he had to pay for this opportunity was a little too high.
Most importantly, they didn't get any fortuitous encounters at all. After entering the city, they took the wrong path and entered the east gate.
Not long after, the group ran into Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan. These two freakishly strong people managed to injure the group within a few moves.
As for Qin Aotian, Zhong Li could only say that he had been blind to think that Qin Aotian was someone important.
He had inherited Dao Artifacts and grasped several Great Daos at the same time. Before he met a true expert, he was truly boundlessly strong.
Xiao Chen felt that he was practically unrivaled among Holy Venerates. He gained many fortuitous encounters in Desolate God Valley.
However, Qin Aotian did not last even ten moves against Yan Cangming and Veritable Essence Energy. Qin Aotian ended up severely injured within ten moves, losing all his aura and being scared out of his wits.
If Xiao Chen had all these inherited Dao Tools, not to mention defeating Yan Cangming, he would at least be able to protect himself.
Thinking about himself, he did not even have a decent inherited Dao Tool. This fellow was really lucky.
"Zhong Li!"
Just as Xiao Chen was examining Liu Yunfei's injuries, Qin Aotian suddenly walked over and grabbed Xiao Chen's collar with a sullen expression.
"Qin Aotian, what are you doing?"
Zhong Li turned pale with fright. He even saw a trace of killing intent in Qin Aotian's eyes.
Qin Aotian demanded coldly, "Tell me, what is your relationship with that white-robed bladesman? Why did he help you block Qin Aotian?!"
After recovering from his shock, Zhong Li's expression slowly calmed down. He did not reply and only pointed his finger.
In an instant, the tip of his finger shone with a cold light and was extremely sharp!
Qin Aotian was slightly startled, and he let go and retreated.
Zhong Li said indifferently, "Qin Aotian, don't get touchy with me. I do not know the person you are talking about."
Qin Aotian smiled and said: "You are actually playing dumb with me. But it doesn't matter. Since I already know his name, I will find out his identity sooner or later!"
Zhong Li found this strange. Just what kind of enmity did this fellow have with Xiao Chen for him to endure for so long?
After confirming that there was no danger, he immediately erupted.
Boom!
Just at this moment, an aura enveloped them. Qin Aotian, Zhong Li, and Liu Yunfei were immediately restricted, unable to move. Their hearts were filled with fear, and their eyes were filled with terror.
"Is it them?"
Looking carefully, he discovered that the source of all this aura was an old man wearing a constellation robe on the opposite roof.
Beside him was a young man.
The young man shook his head and said, "Not them."
For some unknown reason, when the young man said that it wasn't them, Qin Aotian and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.
"There are two auras of Dragon Race cultivators in the city. Since it is not them, it should be another group of people."
Just as the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin was about to leave, he suddenly waved his hand in the air, and a portrait of Xiao Chen appeared clearly before the three. "Do you recognize him?"
The expressions of Zhong Li and the other two changed slightly. However, at this moment, even Qin Aotian could not be stupid enough to say that he knew Xiao Chen. The three shook their heads and denied it.
Hua Qingyun smiled coldly and said, "What clumsy acting skills. Since you know this person, Grandfather, just kill them."
Qin Aotian and the other two immediately felt like crying. What was going on?
This was especially so for Qin Aotian. He cursed all eighteen generations of Xiao Chen's ancestors in his heart.
Xiao Chen offended a Sovereign Emperor for no reason at all. What exactly did he do?
Hua Qin remained expressionless. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Qin Aotian like he was a little chick.
All Hua Qin needed to do was squeeze gently, and he could kill Qin Aotian like he was squashing an ant.
Qin Aotian was so frightened that tears leaked out of his eyes. He felt a chill in his pants; he had actually lost control.
Hua Qin revealed a look of disgust in his eyes. However, just as he was about to make a move, he sensed a trace of a pure Golden Dragon royal bloodline in Qin Aotian's body.
"To think that the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor's bloodline has such a cowardly descendant. How laughable."
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin revealed a disdainful expression as he tossed Qin Aotian back to the ground.
When Hua Qingyun heard that, he could only give up on killing Qin Aotian. He looked towards the center of the city and said, "Grandfather, there seems to be some fortuitous encounter there."
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin replied indifferently, "It is just a pile of Divine Crystal fragments. They are not of much use. After I deal with the matter at hand, I will get them to spit them out."
The incomplete Divine Crystal did not hold much attraction to Hua Qin. However, it would be a pretty good reward for a Sovereign Personage of the sect.
"Whoosh!"
The two's figures flashed, and they left this place.
"Am I dead?"
After Qin Aotian was tossed to the ground, he still had not recovered his wits. It was like he was scared silly.
Zhong Li and Liu Yunfei heaved a long sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, at the last moment, they relied on the clan behind Qin Aotian to survive.
However, the two felt somewhat embarrassed and did not look at Qin Aotian.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister Ruyun is still with Xiao Chen," Liu Yunfei said when he thought of something.
Zhong Li looked in the direction that the Sovereign Emperor left and said, "Let's follow and take a look. If we can find Senior Sister before this Sovereign Emperor, we might still make it in time."
"Let's go!"
The two knew Liu Ruyun's identity. Earlier, they left her behind because they felt that she would not die if she was with Xiao Chen and the others.
However, now that a Sovereign Emperor was here, the situation was different.
As cultivators of the White Dragon Race, the two still had some conscience. However, while they had good intentions, how could they be faster than a Sovereign Emperor?
Back in the herb garden, Xiao Chen sensed that the Demon Blood Vulture had already shaken off the Holy Son Ming Xuan.
He relaxed and decided to leave the city immediately before meeting up with the Demon Blood Vulture.
Aside from Xiao Chen, everyone else in the ancient city had gained something and was already satisfied.
Everyone agreed to the suggestion of leaving.
"You want to leave just like that?"
Who knew, just as the group left the herb garden, a familiar voice rang out from the roof in front.
"Hua Qingyun!"
When the group saw the source of that voice, they were greatly startled. They had clearly worked together to restrain this person.
At this moment, Hua Qingyun should be in the Heaven Suspending War Chariot outside the city. Why was he in the ancient city?
Xiao Chen's heart sank. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Then, he said, "Let's go."
Murong Yan and the others did not understand why they should fear Hua Qingyun. However, since Xiao Chen said it, it was better to listen to him.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could only place his hopes on that person. He was greedy for the Divine Crystals in the center of the city and did not come with them. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! "
The group soared into the air. However, they crashed into an invisible barrier in the air and bounced back.
Xiao Chen landed firmly on the ground with a grave expression. He knew that the thing that he did not want to happen the most had happened.
Since Xiao Chen learned of this Hua Qingyun's identity, he had thought about how to deal with this person. Originally, he wanted to release this person after leaving Ancient Desolate Town.
Xiao Chen thought that a Sovereign Emperor expert would not make things difficult for them, the juniors.
If Hua Qingyun came to seek trouble, he would just be seeking his own humiliation. There was no need to worry.
Unexpectedly, that mysterious Sovereign Emperor cared so much about Hua Qingyun that he personally came to seek trouble.
When Hua Qingyun saw Murong Yan fly up in disbelief and get knocked down again and again, he mocked, "Go ahead and fly. Aren't there a bunch of dragons? Why are you all not flying anymore?!"
Even without Xiao Chen's reminder, the others already felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Chen looked around and said indifferently, "Senior, just show yourself. Since you are already here, why are you still afraid of embarrassing yourself before us juniors?"
"Humph!"
A cold snort rang out. Xiao Chen and the others felt like they were struck by lightning. Their souls trembled, and their Qi and blood surged. They could no longer endure it and vomited a mouthful of blood, their complexions paling.
Hua Qingyun slowly walked out and looked coldly at Xiao Chen and the others, not saying anything.
A Sovereign Emperor!
Despair surged in the hearts of Murong Yan and the others. This old man was definitely someone who surpassed Sovereign Personage. The pressure he gave off was too strong.
There was no way around it!
"Interesting. To think that a mixed-blood dragon has more backbone than the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor's descendant."
When the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin saw that Xiao Chen remained standing, showing no intention of begging for mercy in his eyes, he revealed a trace of appreciation.
"However, I like to torture people with backbone the most!"
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin flicked his finger, and two cracking sounds rang out. Xiao Chen's calves shattered, and he fell to his knees.
Amid the intense pain, Xiao Chen clenched his teeth in silence. He stabbed the Tyrant Saber into the ground with his right hand and supported himself on one knee.
"Xiao Chen!"
Liu Ruyun rushed over and supported Xiao Chen, glaring at Hua Qin.
However, Xiao Chen's gaze remained incredibly calm, not showing any fluctuations.
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin asked, "Don't you hate me?"
"I am not as skilled as others. What is there to hate? However, I will take responsibility for my own actions. I killed the Heavenly Lodging Palace's people.
It has nothing to do with others, "Xiao Chen said, enunciating every word as he looked at the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin.
"If you dare to touch him again, I swear that I will make you pay the price!"
Liu Ruyun supported Xiao Chen as she looked at the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin. Her valiant face looked somewhat scary.
"The White Dragon King's descendant?"
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin looked at Liu Ruyun. When he saw the royal White Dragon bloodline in her, some surprise flashed in his eyes.
However, Hua Qin soon smiled coldly. "I just killed a mixed-blood dragon. Do you think that the White Dragon King is your father? He only has a royal bloodline. At most, he can guarantee your death!"
Having a royal bloodline did not mean that one was a direct descendant of the royal bloodline. It was just like how Qin Aotian was definitely not a descendant of the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor. He was just a relative of that bloodline.
"Sorry, I am really her father!"
Faint laughter came from the surroundings. Then, a figure that looked like a White Dragon suddenly appeared.
This figure clashed with Hua Qin's palm strike. "Boom!" The shock waves spread out. All the buildings within fifty kilometers that were not protected by special formations turned to ashes.
Blood leaked out of a corner of the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin's lips. Horror flashed in his eyes as he staggered back a few steps.
