Chapter 114: Thunderous Dragon Abyss

  The second update!

  ——

  As if sensing Chen's depression, Ling Bai's small hand flipped over, and another pearl appeared, like a transparent crystal drop, with a dreamy ripple of light all over its body.

  "Here, this Wuji Breaking Boundary Pearl is a rare treasure in the world, refined from the Lingxu Crystal Stone picked outside the realm of the stars. It's extremely precious and can sense and break through some secret boundary barriers. Su Leng used this pearl to break into the Jianzhang Jiemie Realm."

  Chen Xiao took it over, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. If this thing was really as Ling Bai said, it would be a perfect tool for colliding with the gods!

  What is meant by "bumping into a fairy affinity" is that when a cultivator has finished their cultivation, the sect will send them out to gain experience, traveling all over the world, searching for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, caves of secrets, and if they can obtain ancient rare treasures, elixirs, magical artifacts, or techniques in unexpected encounters, then it's "good fortune" and they've bumped into a fairy affinity.

  This kind of practice exists in all major sects, and every year, a large number of disciples will rush to the mysterious place for adventure and treasure hunting.

  Because this approach not only can hone the disciple's mind and strength, but also has a high probability of obtaining some secret treasures and legacies from the mysterious caves, bringing benefits to oneself and honor to the sect, with many advantages, therefore "Sanson Yuan" is extremely popular in the cultivation world, and its popularity endures for a long time.

  Of course, opportunities and dangers coexist. In the vast majority of caves and secret realms, all kinds of restrictions and mechanisms are filled, and some ancient ruins even retain many terrifying spirits. If one's strength is slightly inferior, it is possible to never come out again.

  However, danger is still danger, and for the sake of opportunity and their own 'fairy fate', many cultivators continue to rush into the tide of colliding fairy fate. Unfortunately, the vast majority of cultivators can't even find the entrance to the secret realm's cave, let alone face any danger...

  But possessing the Wuji Pojie Pearl is equivalent to having a way to find the entrance to the secret realm cave, having the key to open the door. Who can remain calm and not be excited and crazy about possessing such a treasure?

  Chen Xiao carefully put the Wuji Breaking Boundary Bead into his storage ring, and the depression in his heart was relieved a lot. He immediately packed up all his things, identified the direction, and headed out of the vast desert.

  The Dragon's Den ranking competition in Longyuan City is about to begin. If you don't hurry up, it will be too late.

  Whoosh!

  A figure flashed by like lightning in the hurricane sandstorm, quickly disappearing at the end of the sky.

  ——

  ——

  Longyuan Su's residence, as one of the six major families in Longyuan, occupies a thousand acres, with courtyards and gardens everywhere, numerous beautiful buildings and pavilions standing side by side, revealing an atmosphere of luxury and nobility.

  Su family council hall, in the vast temple with green jade glass paving, auspicious beast incense burner smoke inhalation and exhalation, four roots of several people embracing jade pillars standing among them, high as a hundred feet, majestic and sturdy, on which are carved dragon and phoenix, depicting auspicious patterns such as celestial turtle, divine crane, blue pine, flying waterfall, etc., misty clouds spreading, vividly lifelike.

  Behind the central jade throne, there is a large golden screen with mountains and rivers undulating inside, the sun and moon embracing each other, vast and majestic, revealing a magnificent atmosphere.

  At this moment, at the top of the central jade throne sat a middle-aged man in black clothes and a magnificent robe, wearing a high crown on his head, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wide cheekbones, and a pair of eyes like stars and electricity, majestic and dignified.

  On both sides of the hall, twelve jade chairs were arranged. At this moment, except for the last jade chair on the left side being empty, the other eleven chairs were already filled with people.

  These people were both male and female, old and young, and even a red-clothed child who looked like a toddler. Although their appearance and clothing were different, the aura on their bodies was extremely powerful. On the top of their heads, there was a hint of yin and yang energy flowing slowly, with dragon and tiger energies being born, and an atmosphere of infinite possibilities.

  It's clear that their lowest cultivation is at least at the Two-Pattern Golden Dan Realm!

  Further back, nine men and women in yellow robes stood upright, with a long and steady breath, their demeanor calm and composed. Their cultivation was around the Yellow Court Realm, and they were the backbone of the Su family's strength.

  In the end, there were hundreds of young men in purple clothes, each with a heroic spirit, their eyes shining brightly, extraordinary and majestic.

  Among them, only one person was particularly eye-catching, a young woman in a black skirt, with delicate eyebrows and a beautiful face, her lips slightly raised, with an air of pride that could not be concealed, it was Su Jiao, the darling of Su Zhen Tian, the master of the Su family, known as one of the Dragon Abyss Twins!

  "Gathered everyone here today, there are two matters to discuss." On the central jade throne, Su Zhen Tian lightly tapped the back of the chair and said in a low voice. As soon as he spoke, a pressure like a mountain swept through the entire main hall.

  "One, the other day, the Li family of Songyancheng was slaughtered and exterminated, the Li family has a deep relationship with my Su family, and has always been a powerful arm for my Su family. Now that the whole family is extinct, my Su family should take the lead in capturing the murderer and avenging the Li family. I have received reliable news that the murderer is the remnant of the Chen family, the eldest grandson of Chen Tianli, the old dog, Chen Tai!"

  When it came to the two words 'Chen Tai', Su Zhen Tian's tone became heavier, as if he had already hated this person to the bone.

  "Who is Chen Xi?"

  "This is indeed a man with great audacity, annihilating an entire clan is too reckless!"

  "Huh? I think I've heard of him somewhere?"

  A group of purple-robed disciples were discussing heatedly, but the eleven elders, nine Huangting cultivators, and Su Jiao remained silent, apparently they had already known about the events in Songyancheng.

  "Silence!"

  On the right-hand side of the main seat in the hall, that red-clothed child with a youthful appearance suddenly turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and let out a loud shout, like thunder, scaring those purple-robed ones who trembled all over, their voices frozen like cicadas in winter.

  The child's name is Su Lingfeng, the eldest of the Su family. Due to his cultivation of a unique skill, he has maintained a youthful appearance for over a thousand years.

  "It doesn't matter if you've heard of it or not, what's important is that Chen Tai not only annihilated the Li family but also snatched away the treasure that rightfully belonged to my Su family from the Sword Immortal's mansion in the Nanyue underworld. It was precisely because of this that he was able to single-handedly wipe out the entire Li family."

  Su Zhen Tian said slowly: "You should know, this child was still a congenital boundary little ant a year ago, but now he has killed all six purple mansion elders of the Li family. It can be imagined that he got great benefits in the Sword Immortal Cave Mansion! And these benefits, originally belonged to my Su family!"

  What a commotion!

  The purple-robed disciples all widened their eyes, as if they didn't dare to believe their ears. If not for the intimidation of the great elder Su Lingfeng, they would have already cried out in surprise.

  A guy who was still in the Innate Realm just a year ago, single-handedly wiped out an entire family after a year? What kind of heaven-defying cultivation method and treasure did he obtain from the Sword Immortal's cave mansion?!

  And these treasures originally belonged to my Su family!

  At the thought of this, a hint of anger flashed in the eyes of these purple-robed disciples, and they couldn't wait to drag out that scoundrel Chen Quan and make him spit out what he had swallowed!

  "Now, the six 'Ding' generation masters of the Su family, including Huang Tingjing, have gone to capture Chen Yu and Elder Su Leng also went to assist yesterday. I suppose it won't take long before they bring back the culprit Chen Yu and recover those stolen treasures."

  As he said this, a hint of a smile appeared on Su Zhen Tian's lips. "In that case, my Su family has helped the Li family avenge their grievances and also retrieved our originally owned treasure, which can be considered as killing two birds with one stone. After consulting with the elders, we have decided to reward these treasures to the various disciples of the Zi Fu Realm, which is also one of the purposes for me to gather you all here."

  "Divide the treasure among us?"

  "This can't be true, right?"

  "Heavens! That's one of the treasures from the Sword Immortal's Cave Mansion!"

  Dozens of purple-robed young men could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts, and they burst out in unison, like a pot boiling over! This was absolutely a huge surprise!

  At this moment, even the nine disciples of Huang Tingjing next to him couldn't help but show envy and jealousy, unfortunately, they didn't have theirs.

  "Silence!" Elder Su Lingfeng couldn't help but loudly shout out again, putting an end to this chaotic and noisy scene.

  "Of course, getting treasures also has conditions."

  After the great hall returned to calm, Su Zhen Tian finally said: "In another half month, it will be the day of the Hidden Dragon List's grand competition. At that time, the eight major sects, three universities, and including my Su family among the six major families in the Purple Mansion realm will all participate. As long as one of you enters the top 100, I will reward a treasure, entering the top 50 rewards two treasures, and entering the top 10 not only rewards three treasures but also promotes to become a core disciple of my Su family, enjoying the treatment of Huang Ting's disciples!"

  Hidden Dragon Ranking Competition?

  So that's how it is!

  Hundreds of purple-robed young men clenched their fists and rubbed their palms, their eyes gleaming with fervent light. They were originally going to participate in the Dragon Ranking Competition to compete with all the heroes of South Jiang, and the heavy reward promised by the clan leader Su Zhen Tian further solidified their determination to join the competition.

  "If we can get the top three places..." Su Zhen Tian's gaze swept around, then he said word by word: "I will ask our ancestor to exceptionally accept you as disciples!"

  Become an apprentice of the ancestors?

  Everyone present, including the eleven elders, was holding their breath, with an infinite longing and fervor on their faces. The Old Ancestor of the Su Family, that was the most mysterious, as well as the most terrifying existence in the Su Family!

  Just then, a shrill and sharp cry came from outside the hall: "Tribe leader, it's not good! Su Leng's primordial lanterns and those of the six masters Ding Yi, Ding Yuan, Ding Long, Ding Kong, Ding Wei, and Ding Rou have all gone out!"

  Bang!

  The teacup shattered on the floor, and the entire golden hall was plunged into a deep silence.

  ……

  On this day, the news of a two-instrument golden elixir cultivator and six yellow court cultivators from the Su family falling to their deaths spread like wings into the ears of all forces in Longyuan City.

  The whole city was shaken in an instant!

  The Su family had twelve two-yin golden elixir boundary elders and fifteen Huangting boundary cultivators. Among the six major families in Longyuan City, they were also among the top-notch existences. Now, suddenly six Huangting boundary cultivators died, and one of the two-yin golden elixir boundary elders fell, instantly weakening the Su family's massive strength by a small half.

  Its loss is so great that all forces who heard this news were extremely shocked.

  Who is so bold as to lay a heavy hand on the Su family?

  One by one, scouts were sent out like a tide, and soon almost all the forces in Longyuan City got the same answer - Chen Xiao!

  To the vast majority of people in Longyuan City, Chen Tang is an extremely unfamiliar name. However, this does not prevent various forces from understanding him and collecting his information.

  Soon, all information about Chen Tang was presented on the desks of various forces.

  "Chen's Orphan, Broom Star, Talisman Apprentice, Southern Barbarian Netherworld, Sword Immortal Cave Mansion, Single-handedly Exterminating the Li Clan..." Each piece of information is extremely detailed, digging up everything about Chen Tang.

  What makes the various powers most interested is that within a year, how did this child's cultivation become so fierce? The answer goes without saying - that Sword Immortal's cave mansion in the Southern Barbarian Nether Domain!

  The real reason for Su's family's heavy losses also surfaced, naturally for the sake of the Xianfu treasure on this son.

  It was also because of this that Chen Yao's name spread throughout the entire Longyuan City almost overnight, becoming an important object of attention for all major forces.
