Chapter 1979 (Raw 2077): He Really Is Her Father
Inside the ancient city, Qin Aotian’s group had only three people left by the time they escaped the pursuit of the Flood Dragon Humans; the rest had died.
“That group of people seems to have left,” Zhong Li said somewhat cautiously as he sized up the surroundings after not seeing any movement for a long time.
At the side, blood kept flowing down Liu Yunfei’s shoulder from an extremely horrifying injury.
“Junior Brother, is your arm alright?” Zhong Li asked sullenly. Of the White Dragon Palace disciples that followed him, only Liu Yunfei survived; the rest were all dead.
Zhong Li’s group had paid too high a price for the sake of this ancient city fortuitous encounter.
The crucial thing was that they did not get any fortuitous encounters here at all. When they entered the city, they had done so by the wrong gate: the east gate.
Soon after, this group had run into Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan, both of whom possessed ridiculously formidable strength. In just a few moves, they had injured the entire group.
As for Qin Aotian, Zhong Li could only say that he had misjudged him. He had actually thought that Qin Aotian was an incredible character.
Qin Aotian was decked in inherited Dao Tools and used several Great Dao at the same time. Short of meeting a true expert, he was truly boundlessly strong.
Qin Aotian had seemed practically unrivaled among Holy Venerates, leading the group to collect many fortuitous encounters in Desolate God Valley.
However, against Yan Cangming and Zhen Yuan, this Qin Aotian did not even last ten moves before sustaining severe injuries. His momentum was completely gone, and he was scared gutless.
If Zhong Li had all those inherited Dao Tools, even if he could not defeat Yan Cangming, he would have been able to protect himself at least.
Zhong Li thought about how he did not even have a single inherited Dao Tool. That fellow really had a good life.
“Zhong Li!”
Just as Zhong Li checked on Liu Yunfei’s injuries, Qin Aotian suddenly walked over and grabbed his collar with a gloomy expression.
“Qin Aotian, what do you want?”
Zhong Li was quite startled, especially when he noticed a trace of murderous intent in Qin Aotian’s eyes.
Qin Aotian demanded coldly, “Tell me, how are you related to that white-clad bladesman? Why did he help you block Yan Cangming?!”
After feeling shocked, Zhong Li calmed down slowly. He did not answer, only stretched his finger out.
Instantly, Zhong Li’s fingertip gave off a bright, cold light, turning incredibly sharp.
Zhong Li’s finger moved towards Qin Aotian’s chest. This startled Qin Aotian into releasing him and backing away.
Zhong Li said indifferently, “Qin Aotian, stop groping me. I do not know the person you speak of.”
Qin Aotian smiled and said, “You’re going so far as to feign ignorance. However, it does not matter. Since I know his name already, I will figure out who he is sooner or later!”
Zhong Li found it strange. What grudge does this fellow have with Xiao Chen? To think that he endured for so long, erupting only after he was sure that there is no more danger around.
“Boom!”
Just at this moment, a strong aura pressed down, immediately restraining Qin Aotian, Zhong Li, and Liu Yunfei. They could not move at all, and fear filled their hearts. Their eyes widened with horror.
“Are they the ones?”
The three looked carefully and discovered that the source of this aura was an old man in long robes with constellations on them standing on the roof across.
There was also a youth beside the old man.
The youth shook his head and said, “It’s not them.”
For some reason, when the three heard the youth say it was not them, they heaved a sigh of relief.
“There are two groups of Dragon Race auras in the city. Since it is not them, then it should be the other group.”
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin prepared to leave when he suddenly swiped his hand through the air. A painting of Xiao Chen appeared before the group, and he asked, “Do you know him?”
The expressions of the group changed slightly. However, at this moment, even Qin Aotian was not stupid enough to admit knowing him. The three shook their heads in denial.
Hua Qingyun smiled coldly. “What lousy acting! Since they know this person, Grandfather, kill them!”
Qin Aotian, Zhong Li, and Liu Yunfei all immediately felt like crying. What the heck is this?!
This was especially so for Qin Aotian. He started cursing eighteen generations of Xiao Chen’s ancestors in his heart.
I ended up offending a Sovereign Emperor for no reason at all. What exactly did this Xiao Chen do?
Hua Qin expressionlessly reached out and grabbed Qin Aotian by the neck like grabbing a chicken.
As long as Hua Qin squeezed lightly, he could kill Qin Aotian as easily as squishing an ant.
Qin Aotian felt so frightened that tears leaked out, and a cool sensation came from his legs. He actually wet his pants.
A look of disgust distorted Hua Qin’s face. However, just when he was about to make his move, he sensed Qin Aotian’s bloodline and noticed traces of the Golden Dragon’s royal bloodline.
“To think that there is such a cowardly member in the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor’s bloodline. How ridiculous.”
With an expression of disdain, Hua Qin tossed Qin Aotian back, causing him to crash into the ground.
When Hua Qingyun heard that, he could only let go of his desire to kill this group. He looked towards the center of the city and said, “Grandfather, there seems to be some kind of fortuitous encounter over there.”
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin said indifferently, “It is just a pile of broken Divine Crystal shards. They are not very useful. After we deal with this, I’ll go back and make those people spit them all out.”
If it was not a complete Divine Crystal, it would not hold much attraction to Hua Qin. However, the shards would serve as a pretty good reward for the sect’s Sovereign Personages.
“Whoosh!”
Qin Hua’s figure flashed, and the two left this place.
“Am I dead?”
After Qin Aotian was tossed to the ground, he did not come back to his senses. It was like he had been frightened silly.
Zhong Li and Liu Yunfei heaved a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, they managed to survive because of the clan behind Qin Aotian.
However, the two found this embarrassing and did not look at Qin Aotian.
Liu Yunfei recalled something. “Senior Brother, Junior Sister Ruyun is still with Xiao Chen.”
Zhong Li looked in the direction that the Sovereign Emperor had taken. Then, he said sullenly, “Come with me to take a look. If we can find Junior Sister before the Sovereign Emperor does, we might be able to make it in time.
“Let’s go!”
The two of them knew who Liu Ruyun was. Earlier, they left her behind because they felt that Liu Ruyun would not be in danger of dying if she was with Xiao Chen and the others.
Now that a Sovereign Emperor arrived, the situation changed.
The two were both White Dragon Race cultivators and still had a conscience. However, while their intentions were good, how could they be faster than a Sovereign Emperor?
---
Back at the herb garden, Xiao Chen sensed that the Demon Blood Vulture had lost the Holy Son Ming Xuan, so he relaxed.
He decided to leave the city immediately and meet up with the Demon Blood Vulture.
Everyone had received some gains in the ancient city and was satisfied already.
Xiao Chen suggested leaving, and everyone agreed.
Who knew, just when the group walked out of the herb garden, a familiar voice came from a roof in front.
“Are you thinking of leaving already?”
“Hua Qingyun!”
The group recognized whose voice that was and felt greatly startled. They had clearly bound up this person.
Hua Qingyun should be in the Heaven Suspending War Chariot outside the ancient city at this moment. Why was he in the ancient city?
Xiao Chen’s heart sank as he suddenly thought of a possibility. He said seriously, “Let’s go.”
Murong Yan and the others could not understand. Why was there a need to fear Hua Qingyun? However, since Xiao Chen gave this instruction, it was better to listen to him.
At this moment, Xiao Chen could only place his hopes on that person being greedy for the Divine Crystal in the city center and not coming with Hua Qingyun.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The group soared into the air but bounced off an invisible barrier, knocked back heavily.
Xiao Chen landed firmly with a grave expression. He knew that the thing he feared had happened.
Xiao Chen had known about Hua Qingyun’s identity before this. He had already thought about how to deal with this person and intended to release him right before they left Ancient Desolate Town after they returned.
He believed that a Sovereign Emperor expert would not make things difficult for a group of juniors.
If Hua Qingyun came to cause trouble himself, it would be him seeking humiliation for himself. There would be nothing to worry about that.
However, that mysterious Sovereign Emperor unexpectedly cared so much for Hua Qingyun. To think that he personally showed up.
When Hua Qingyun saw that Murong Yan refused to believe in what happened, crashing into the barrier and falling back down several times, he mocked, “How about flying? Aren’t you all dragons? Why are you not flying?!”
Without needing Xiao Chen’s reminder, the others all sensed the strangeness of the matter.
Xiao Chen looked around, then said indifferently, “Senior, show yourself, then. You are here already. Are you afraid of looking bad before us juniors?”
“Humph!” A cold snort rang out. Xiao Chen and the others felt like lightning struck them. Their minds and souls shook; their Qi and blood surged. They could not bear it and vomited a mouthful of blood, turning pale.
Walking over slowly, Hua Qin coldly eyed Xiao Chen and the others, not saying much.
A Sovereign Emperor!
Despair woke in the hearts of Murong Yan and the others. This old man bringing an extremely strong pressure definitely surpassed the Sovereign Stage.
This was entirely beyond their comprehension!
“Interesting. A mixed-blood dragon actually has more backbone than a descendant of the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor.”
When the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin saw that Xiao Chen was still standing, showing no intention of begging, a trace of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
“However, the ones that I love to torture the most are those with backbone!”
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin flicked his finger, and two cracks sounded. Xiao Chen’s calf bones broke, and it looked like he would fall forward on his knees.
However, Xiao Chen quietly gritted his teeth and endured the intense pain. He stabbed the Tyrant Saber into the ground with his right hand and supported his body with one knee.
“Xiao Chen!”
Liu Ruyun rushed over and helped Xiao Chen up. Then, she glared at Hua Qin.
However, Xiao Chen’s gaze remained incredibly calm, not showing any fluctuations.
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin said, “You don’t hate me?”
“I am not as skilled as you. What is there to hate? However, a man must bear the consequences of his own actions. I am the one who killed the Heavenly Lodging Palace’s people. It has nothing to do with the others,” Xiao Chen said as he looked at the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin, enunciating every syllable.
“If you dare to touch him, I swear I will definitely make you pay for it!”
Liu Ruyun looked at the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin as she supported Xiao Chen. Her valiant face looked so serious that it seemed somewhat scary.
“The White Dragon King’s family?”
The Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin looked at Liu Ruyun, and the White Dragon King’s bloodline in her had surprise flashing across his face.
Soon, Hua Qin smiled coldly. “I am just killing a mixed-blood dragon. Do you think the White Dragon King is your father? You just possess the royal bloodline. At best, it will only let you survive!”
Having a royal bloodline did not mean one was royalty. It was just like how Qin Aotian was definitely not a descendant of the Purple Gold Dragon Emperor. He just happened to be from the same family line, a distant relative.
“Sorry, I really am her father!” Faint laughter rang out in the surroundings. A figure looking like a White Dragon suddenly appeared.
Then, this figure threw a palm strike at the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin. After the shock wave propagated, all the buildings within fifty kilometers that were not protected by special formations turned to dust.
Blood leaked out of the Sovereign Emperor Hua Qin’s mouth. Horror flashed in his eyes as he stumbled a few steps back.
