Chapter 1834 1834: Dead?!
Su Chen was stunned when he heard this. He hadn't anticipated that there would be such an ancestral command here!
Compared to Su Chen, Zi Mei had a lot more thoughts upon hearing this!
"Actually, we're so eager to open the inner layer of the ancestral land partly because cultivation resources keep dwindling, and we want the treasure inside. On the other hand, isn't it also to see the broader world outside!"
Xue Yiyi continued to speak.
"I see!"
Su Chen thought to himself, estimating that more people would venture out from here in the future!
"Alright, then when you've handled your own matters, you can come out and find us."
Su Chen smiled.
Afterward, Shi Ruoxuan and Leng Ning also bid farewell to Xue Yiyi. Though they hadn't known each other for long, there was a bond formed between the few women!
Of course, Su Chen and the others knew that if Xue Yiyi were to come out, it might take quite a long time!
However, with Su Chen around, they believed that no one would really dare to harm Xue Yiyi!
After all, many here had witnessed Su Chen's terrifying power!
......
At this moment, outside the Secret Realm, the leaders of the six dynasties waited anxiously!
Besides Su Chen and his team, practically everyone else had already come out!
"It's been so many days, why aren't they out yet?"
"Yeah! Could something have happened?"
"Everyone, be patient and refrain from needless worry!"
......
Several leaders discussed amongst themselves, knowing that these people represented the cream of the crop among the younger generation of each dynasty. They naturally held significant importance!
Especially certain individuals they valued highly, like Huangfu Nan from the Zhenyu Dynasty, Shi Ruoxuan from the Xianluo Dynasty, and Su Chen!
At this moment, the previously established blood-colored line suddenly lit up!
In the next moment, a group of young warriors appeared here—the very ones who had ventured inside!
"They've finally returned!"
Seeing them back, those leaders breathed a sigh of relief!
Su Chen had returned late because he went to visit Elder Xu and the villagers!
Currently, Su Chen had become an idol in the minds of his team, leading others to follow him!
Elder Xu and the villagers warmly entertained them and offered Su Chen and his group a place to stay!
Unable to refuse such hospitality, Su Chen stayed there for a few days!
As for those who arrived earlier, they heard about the ancestral land's situation and went there one after another!
However, due to the inner layer's Giant Stone Gate being closed, they left disappointed!
"Where are Huangfu Nan, Zheng Hao, and Pan Xuan?"
Seeing a few members of their team missing, the Zhenyu Dynasty's leader immediately asked.
At that moment, tension gripped his heart. Others were manageable, but Huangfu Nan absolutely could not meet with misfortune!
"Su Chen, where's Wang Sheng?"
Zhuo Songyan also asked.
Although Wang Sheng belonged to Wind and Cloud Academy, as the leader this time, he was responsible!
"They are all dead."
Su Chen said calmly.
As soon as he said this, everyone was dumbfounded!
Because Su Chen referred to "them," not just "himself." This implied...
"Are you saying Huangfu Nan and the others are dead too?"
The middle-aged leader from Zhenyu Dynasty was thunderstruck, muttering in disbelief.
"Yes, dead."
Su Chen nodded.
"How did they die?"
The Zhenyu Dynasty's leader continued asking.
"I killed them."
Like stating a plain fact, Su Chen spoke calmly.
However, as Su Chen's words dropped, those uninformed felt their minds freeze!
He killed them?!
Leaving others aside, what kind of existence was Huangfu Nan?!
It was known that most leaders' strengths were below Huangfu Nan!
And this young man, although he clinched first in Shenfeng Dynasty's contest, should not be comparable to Huangfu Nan!
Moreover, what enmity existed between them to lead to this?!
At this moment, Shi Ruoxuan and Leng Ning sighed, having subtly hinted for Su Chen to stay vague, suggesting he could feign ignorance!
Unexpectedly, Su Chen confessed directly!
Actually, Su Chen's admission was simple; first, he didn't particularly regard the opposition, and second, the matter wasn't one to easily conceal!
Because besides him, Leng Ning, and Shi Ruoxuan, there were many others present at the time!
Although most might keep the secret, grateful for Su Chen saving their lives, it's hard to guarantee everyone would think the same way!
This isn't born of a cynical mindset but a recognition of human nature!
Of course, he couldn't massacre all the informed to erase every potential leak!
Shi Ruoxuan and Leng Ning understood this wisdom, familiar with Su Chen's prowess!
In their view, it's wiser to avoid such troubles whenever possible, and if unavoidable, it couldn't be worse than the status quo!
"This spells doom for you!"
The Zhenyu Dynasty's leader's eyes flashed fiercely!
"Wait!"
At that moment, Zhuo Songyan exclaimed, quickly stepping in front of Su Chen!
To Zhuo Songyan, Su Chen was as crucial as Huangfu Nan was to the other leader. Though he couldn't fathom how Huangfu Nan died at Su Chen's hands—Huangfu Nan was surely stronger—
he believed Su Chen's future would be limitless, thus he mustn't face harm!
Regardless of the opponent's vastly superior power, he stood out first!
He couldn't resist, and likewise, Su Chen couldn't resist, even if he really had killed Huangfu Nan, given the latter reached Divine Sea Realm!
"What do you have to say for yourself!"
The Zhenyu Dynasty's leader scoffed.
"I'm sure there's a reason. Su Chen wouldn't do it without cause."
Zhuo Songyan's words were sincere. Though he wasn't extremely familiar with Su Chen, he felt Su Chen wasn't that type of person—there must be a reason!
"Elder Zhuo is correct. Huangfu Nan coveted Su Chen's treasure, first attempting murder for it, then ambushing Su Chen, which led to his death by Su Chen!"
Shi Ruoxuan stood forward to explain.
"Indeed, we can testify to this!"
Soon, most of those with Su Chen stood forth, appreciating Su Chen's lifesaving favor!
Hearing this, the others roughly grasped the situation and understood!
Still, they found Su Chen's ability to kill Huangfu Nan astonishing, especially while being ambushed!
Could his strength really surpass Huangfu Nan?!
