This time, the losses were severe. The others all targeted Leng Shaofan, berating him.
If Xiao Chen were here and saw Leng Shaofan's appearance, his heart would definitely be shaken.
This black-clad person was none other than Leng Ao, whom Xiao Chen had paid special attention to in Neptune's palace. Leng Ao had hidden himself very deeply and had a mysterious background.
Leng Shaofan raised his gaze. For some reason, the others did not dare to say anything.
Seeing that the others did not say anything, Leng Shaofan said indifferently, "I will compensate everyone for the losses this time, including the seven King Grade warships. As for now, let's go quickly. The experts of the Haotian Sect should be making their move soon. "
After saying that, Leng Shaofan turned and left, leaving behind the Seven Heroes Of The Dragon exchanging glances with each other.
After a long time, Huan Qiuyu said, "Let's go. When Xiao Chen arrives at the Heavenly Starry Ocean, we will make him cough up everything with interest. We will let him know that the sea is not something that a Blue Dragon like him can mess around with."
Inside the Haotian Sect:
By the time Xiao Chen rushed back, everything had already calmed down. Shui Lingling took out six Peak Grade Divine Flame Talismans and handed them to Xiao Chen, along with the spatial rings of the six people.
"We found these on the six people. These people did indeed plan this. If you go to Heavenly Star Island, you will be in even more trouble. These six Peak Grade Divine Flame Talismans should be able to save your life at a crucial moment."
Xiao Chen had killed the six people. Naturally, the most valuable things on them would be handed to Xiao Chen for safekeeping.
Peak Grade Divine Flame Talismans were indeed good items for protecting one's life. However, they were extremely difficult to refine. Ordinary Divine Flame Talismans could only travel fifty kilometers at best. They were insufficient for great grandmaster-level Martial Sages.
Peak Grade Divine Flame Talismans that could travel five hundred kilometers in an instant were barely sufficient. Xiao Chen gladly accepted them. After thinking for a while, he took out one and called Shui Lingling over.
Shui Lingling smiled faintly and did not reject him. "When do you plan to leave?"
"Three days later!"
"In such a hurry?" Shui Lingling asked in surprise. Leaving in three days? That was too much of a rush.
Xiao Chen nodded, indicating that he would indeed leave in three days. He had originally planned to meditate and cultivate in peace before leaving after making sufficient preparations.
However, the sudden turn of events had disrupted Xiao Chen's plans, causing him to feel a sense of crisis.
Originally, Heavenly Star Island was already worried that the Three Holy Masters were doing something there. Now, there was another one of Neptune's old subordinates. Who knew what they were planning?
It was better to set out as soon as possible, lest something unexpected happened.
There were too many things to do in three days, so Xiao Chen temporarily put aside his cultivation. Xiao Chen counted the Black Astral Coins in his hands once more. He discovered that he had obtained them from killing enemies along the way and the two thousand Black Astral Coins he originally had.
The total amount of Black Astral Coins on Xiao Chen had already reached a horrifying forty million. Furthermore, this did not include the various secret manuals, Medicinal Pills, and Secret Treasures.
Xiao Chen took out twenty million Black Astral Coins and started purchasing Astral Cores on a large scale. For the past three days, Xiao Chen's figure could be seen in the various large markets of the Haotian Sect. He had purchased all the Astral Cores.
Astral Cores had many uses. Be it large-scale formations or the energy of warships, they all required Astral Cores.
Since Xiao Chen intended to make Heavenly Star Island the base of the Dragon's Gate's rise, Astral Cores were essential.
In three days, Xiao Chen spent all twenty million Black Astral Coins. Most of the Nine Ranks of the Great Families did not have the boldness to spend all twenty million Black Astral Coins in three days.
However, Xiao Chen's harvest was considerable as well. He purchased ten thousand Inferior Grade Astral Cores, three thousand Medial Grade Astral Cores, and even one thousand of the extremely rare Superior Grade Astral Cores.
With so many Astral Cores, twenty million Black Astral Coins would not have been enough. After all, one Inferior Grade Astral Core could sell for one thousand Black Astral Coins.
With Xiao Chen's identity as the Blue Dragon King, as long as he was within the vicinity of the Bushin Palace, he would receive a twenty percent discount. Furthermore, some merchant associations wanted to establish a good relationship with him, giving him further discounts. Hence, he managed to obtain so many Black Astral Coins.
Yue Chenxi, Jin Lin, Liu Ke, and Xiao Xian had already gathered at the summit of the mountain where Xiao Chen lived. Expectant smiles filled their faces. For the sake of this day, they had prepared for a long time.
A purple dragon-shaped warship hovered at the summit of the mountain. It looked extraordinarily mighty, hidden in the clouds, preparing to set sail.
This was one of the seven warships that Xiao Chen snatched. An old man with unfathomable cultivation sat in the recuperation room of the warship. He was a Supreme Elder sent by Ying Zongtian, a bona fide Blue Robed Emperor.
Shui Lingling was here to send him off. After she left today, she did not know when she would see Xiao Chen again. With this thought, she could not help feeling melancholic.
"First Senior Sister, we are leaving. May we meet again," Xiao Chen said with a cupped-fist salute.
"Don't be in a rush to leave first. You can wait for a few more people."
"There are more people coming? Who?" Jin Lin asked, feeling confused.
Xiao Chen felt confused as well. His line of work was not like a child's play, where he could bring away just anyone.
Shui Lingling smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know the answer after a while. Of course, if you do not agree, these people will not force you. I am only here to introduce you."
For Shui Lingling to personally introduce them, they definitely had a significant background. This piqued Xiao Chen's interest. Who would be willing to travel so far to Heavenly Star Island? "Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Soon, three figures flew over from the distance. Xiao Chen looked up and saw the appearances of these three people from one kilometer away. He could not help but raise his eyebrows. How could it be these three people?
Three figures, two men and one woman, descended. They were actually the outstanding talents of the Asura Race, Lan Shaobai, Yu, and the youth that had been following him.
Lan Shaobai performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "Brother Xiao Chen, I wonder if you can bring three more people on this trip?"
Yu blinked, waiting for Xiao Chen's answer in anticipation.
Lan Shaobai has experienced many setbacks in the past year or so. He no longer has any desire to compete with Di Wuque. Junior Brother Xiao Chen, I can guarantee that he does not have any malicious intent.
Shui Lingling sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen. Clearly, she did not want Xiao Chen to lose such a strong assistant.
The strength of these three went without saying. Xiao Chen was very clear on it. This was especially so for Lan Shaobai, who was not much weaker than him. However, why would such a person be willing to follow him?
Never mind. Since First Senior Sister introduced me, I better not let her down. I'll bring them along for now. Even if they have other motives, it will be fine as long as they do not clash with me.
The Blue Dragon King set sail. With this departure, he stepped into an even vaster sky and world, the vague form of the new Dragon's Gate appearing.
The purple warship tore through the clouds and flew towards the vast oceanic world, carrying the dreams of the Blue Dragon King and his friends, disappearing from Shui Lingling's sight.
"What's wrong, lass? Your heart is flying over as well."
At some point, Ying Zongtian had appeared on the summit as Shui Lingling, standing there with a smile.
"Master, why are you here?!" Shui Lingling exclaimed.
Ying Zongtian smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you the only one allowed to send this fellow off, and I can't?"
Seeing the strange smile on her master's face, Shui Lingling blushed slightly. She said, "You're still smiling? If you keep smiling, I'll toss the Haotian Sect out as your dowry."
Ying Zongtian laughed loudly and said, "Are you talking about that fellow, Xiao Chen? As long as you really want to, I'll help you capture that kid and bring him back. "
Shui Lingling giggled and said, "Alright. Master, go and capture him. Lingling will wait here."
"Lass, you really dare to say that. Let's go. I'm going to visit some of my old friends and see if I can help you find a good bow. Master is already a Supreme Martial Artist, and your disciple is still carrying a pile of junk. It's really not right. "
Shui Lingling giggled and said, "Master, you are very considerate. The Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow, ranked third on the Divine Weapon Ranking, I have been eyeing it for a long time."
Ying Zongtian's footsteps trembled, and he almost fell. He smiled helplessly and said, "You really dare to say that. This bow has been missing for many years. Where can I find it for you?"
"Forget it. Don't talk nonsense. Cultivate harder. The best resources of the Haotian Sect will be given to you. Don't leave this fellow too far behind. Otherwise, you won't be able to marry him even if you want to. "
Ying Zongtian's figure flashed, and he turned into a beam of light, disappearing from the summit.
Shui Lingling muttered, "You still want to be more serious? In the end, you are still not serious. However, I do have to cultivate harder. Master has already told me everything he knows about cultivation. It would be too much of a pity to waste it. "
On the day Xiao Chen left the Haotian Sect, the Three Holy Masters's disciples and the others headed in another direction.
The strongest experiential training ground in the Starry Heavens, where the Kunlun Realm and the Deep Abyss Demonic World intersected, was the Astral Battlefield:
During the Deep Abyss Demonic Calamity ten thousand years ago, the eighteen Demon Monarchs led the army of the Demonic World. They did not pass through the difficult spatial tears to charge into the Kunlun Realm. Instead, they opened a path to the Kunlun Realm outside the Astral Domain.
They directly smashed through the barrier of the sky, catching the five races of the Kunlun Realm off guard and inflicting heavy casualties.
If not for the Qing Emperor appearing back then, leading the Bushin Palace to turn the tide and chasing the army of the Deep Abyss Demonic World to the borders of the Kunlun Realm, the consequences would have been dire.
However, the astral fortresses that the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Demons left at the borders were not completely destroyed.
After the fall of the Qing Emperor, the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Demons made a comeback. They used the Astral Teleportation Formation to reestablish their base at the borders of the Astral Domain.
To prevent such a painful experience from happening again, the five races — the Humans, Deities, Ghosts, Fiends, and Corpses — built their own astral fortresses at the borders of the Astral Domain as well.
The two sides remained in a stalemate for ten thousand years. No one could chase the other out completely. Instead, it formed the famous Astral Battlefield of the Kunlun Realm and the Deep Abyss Demonic World.
That was the strongest battlefield in the Starry Heavens. Without advancing to Martial Sage, one could not even enter. Even someone as strong as Emperor Wu could fall there.
For the past ten thousand years, countless experts from both sides had fought on this battlefield. They either gained fame and glory or died there, dying the sky red.
However, Xiao Hou Jue had to go. If he wanted to regain his dignity and take back what belonged to him, he had to take some risks.
Feng Wuji and Nuan Muyun, who were on good terms with Xiao Hou Jue, did not want him to go alone, so they accompanied him.
Xiao Hou Zun, who was sending the three off, sighed softly. "Originally, I planned to wait for you all to become great grandmaster-level Martial Sages before sending you off together. However, time waits for no man. Xiao Chen suddenly rose up and left the three of you behind. If you do not take a gamble, you can only look up at his back forever."
Xiao Hou Jue squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, Father. The three of us will definitely return alive. The reputation of the Three Holy Masters will rise again. Even if he becomes the second Qing Emperor, the situation of the Three Holy Masters being overshadowed by the glory of the Dragon's Gate ten thousand years ago will not happen. The three of us will ensure that the glory of the Holy Land never dies. "
