Chapter 274

Murong Bian and the other great experts were completely dumbfounded.

Xu Chen is truly mad!

Next, Xu Chen is probably done for.

Hearing this, Jing Lian hurriedly stepped in front of Xu Chen: "Master, Xu Chen was just talking nonsense, please don't mind it."

Anlong Wudi heard this and immediately laughed: "Am I not already your former master?" Jing Lian gritted her teeth and said: "If you want to kill Xu Chen, then kill me first." Anlong Wudi said amusedly: "Why would I kill him? What he said is absolutely right!" The crowd's eyes went wide. Holy crap, what does that mean? Could Anlong Wudi be…

Anlong Wudi said calmly: "This Emperor has said it before, this Emperor is also quite mad." Xu Chen nodded and said: "Then what are we waiting for?"

Anlong Wudi said: "Promise this Emperor one thing—protect Jing Lian for the rest of her life. She can be considered my adopted daughter."

Xu Chen said seriously as well: "While I'm here, not a single hair on her will fall." Anlong Wudi laughed heartily: "Come on, I really like you, kid. If it weren't for the fact that this Emperor has no hope of resurrection,

I would definitely have seized your body. But now I am just a wisp of a remnant soul, willing to offer you my strength." As he spoke, his voice carried through the heavens and earth, making people's eardrums tremble and their expressions shift slightly. "Hoo—!" Xu Chen didn't waste any words either. He slightly opened his mouth and began using the Soul Devouring Scripture.

In an instant, a tremendous suction force directly drew Anlong Wudi's remnant soul over.

Xu Chen swallowed Anlong Wudi's remnant soul in one gulp, and at the same time his own Divine Sense had already begun to slowly increase.

Xu Chen estimated that within a few days his Divine Sense would be able to skyrocket to the Three Turns Martial Saint level.

By then, even a Three Turns Martial Saint, he would have no fear!

The crowd watched this scene, utterly dumbfounded.

One thought, and you become a Buddha; another thought, and you become a demon.

These two are clearly two proper demons!

Xu Chen's act of devouring the Martial Emperor's soul at this moment shocked everyone present.

They hadn't expected Xu Chen to dare speak that way to a Martial Emperor, let alone that he would dare to actually do it.

What they least expected was that Xu Chen actually freaking succeeded.

After absorbing a Martial Emperor's remnant soul, Xu Chen's Divine Sense was bound to skyrocket. "Burp~" After swallowing Anlong Wudi, Xu Chen let out a satisfied burp.

He said lazily: "Not bad, just no flavor." The corners of the crowd's mouths twitched. Are you treating it like cannibalism or what?

Jing Lian threw herself into Xu Chen's arms, crying loudly: "Former mas—ter is gone."

Xu Chen patted Jing Lian's back: "It's fine, it was his own choice, and from now on I will protect you." Jing Lian sobbed: "Really?" Xu Chen nodded calmly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, a violent tremor suddenly came from between heaven and earth.

Xu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. Are those major sects about to make a move against the Dark Dragon Palace?

The memorial that Luo Shen had given him earlier had already laid out the situation of several suddenly rising factions in the Dark Dragon Abyss.

Tianling Palace was one of them, and the Dark Dragon Palace was also among them.

Speaking of which, this Dark Dragon Palace was originally a force established by Anlong Wudi back in the day.

Back when Anlong Wudi was still alive, he was infinitely glorious, considered the strongest.

Even this entire region was renamed the Dark Dragon Abyss because of Anlong Wudi.

Later, after Anlong Wudi fell, the Dark Dragon Palace gradually weakened.

Its territory was encroached upon by many forces, and it eventually degenerated into an ordinary first-rate force within the Dark Dragon Abyss. The so-called ordinary first-rate force is a classification only recently divided in the Dark Dragon Abyss—the kind with very few Martial Saints and mediocre strength.

If any two such first-rate forces were to join hands, the Dark Dragon Palace would definitely get beaten into a pulp.

The reason the Dark Dragon Palace had managed to survive until now was that no one knew the situation regarding Anlong Wudi.

And now, the fact that Anlong Wudi's remnant soul had been devoured by Xu Chen was quickly reported back by everyone.

Therefore, the Dark Dragon Palace's enemies had made their move.

Among them were the Immortal Pavilion, the Tianhuan Sect, the Taichu Beast Gate, and the Wuji Sound Valley.

Speaking of which, the Immortal Pavilion was a force cultivated by the Immortal Empire in the Dark Dragon Abyss.

The Tianhuan Sect was cultivated by Luo Qianshang in the Dark Dragon Abyss.

The Taichu Beast Gate and the Wuji Sound Valley were even more obvious—cultivated by the Taichu Sacred Land and the Wuji Holy Land.

The existence of these four major sects was solely for the sake of the Dark Dragon Palace.

"It's already begun."

Xu Chen raised his eyes and discovered that fifty thousand miles away from An Long Sen Lin, a battle had already broken out.

The four major sects had surrounded the Dark Dragon Palace, preparing to devour it together.

Xu Chen looked at Ye Xuan and said calmly: "You've accepted the inheritance, so you must know the situation of the Dark Dragon Palace by now, right?"

Ye Xuan's expression shifted: "Naturally. Theoretically, I should go rescue the Dark Dragon Palace."

Xu Chen nodded. In his past life, Ye Xuan had gone to help, and this was one of the major plotlines.

Ye Xuan, with his own strength alone, crushed the four major sects, rescued the Dark Dragon Palace, and was infinitely glorious.

From that moment on, Ye Xuan's name resounded throughout the entire Dark Dragon Abyss.

When people of the Dark Dragon Abyss heard this name, they would all turn pale.

Xu Chen had no intention of stopping this either. He said: "Then why aren't you going over yet?"

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that his Divine Soul was currently damaged, he would definitely be very confident right now.

He could only blame himself for overestimating his abilities and seeking a fight with Xu Chen earlier.

However, after thinking it over, he ultimately flickered and disappeared from the spot.

Luo Qianshang and the others showed mocking expressions in their eyes: "This Ye Xuan, wants to resist the four major sects alone?"

Di Qiankun laughed out loud: "I wouldn't be optimistic about him even if he weren't injured, let alone the fact that he is injured." Zhao Wuji sneered: "Now that we devour the Dark Dragon Palace, no one can stop us."

Yang Han said playfully: "Let's go, let's go watch the show. We'll split the Dark Dragon Palace's resources evenly later." With that, these four also disappeared from the spot.

Murong Bian, on the other hand, looked around in astonishment.

He discovered that the Anlong Zhaoze had completely lost its effect because of Anlong Wudi's death.

Just like an ordinary swamp, it no longer had the slightest pull.

Murong Bian also said, "The four great sects are besieging Anlong Hall. This old man must go take a look as well. Farewell, everyone, may we meet again if fate allows."

After he finished speaking, the people of Tianling Palace also vanished one after another. Gongsun Piaomiao looked toward Xu Chen: "Shall we make a move?"

Just before Anlong Wudi died, he hadn't asked Xu Chen to save Anlong Hall. Xu Chen said with a light laugh, "Let's go watch the show. We'll talk about the rest later." This was a major plot point, and he had to appear.

The women nodded: "Fine, no matter where you go, we'll follow you."

"Let's go!"

Xu Chen gave the order, led everyone, and headed straight for the Dark Dragon Abyss region fifty thousand li away.

That place was also where the focal clashes of the various great sects would erupt.

With the entry of forces like the Tianzun Dynasty and the Immortal Empire, the number of people there would reach its peak.

By then, roughly several dozen Martial Saints would gather.

This was clearly one of the most grand and magnificent scenes in the original work.

When Xu Chen arrived at his destination.

He saw Ye Xuan locked in a fierce battle with the people of the four great sects.

Although Ye Xuan was injured, with Ling Zunzhe's help he remained overwhelmingly dominant.

Ye Xuan even fought four First-Revolution Martial Saints at his peak First-Revolution Martial Saint strength without defeat.

In the end, Ye Xuan slew a Martial Saint of the Immortal Pavilion, then retreated with serious injuries. Ye Xuan panted and said with a cold laugh, "Who else?"

At that moment, Ye Xuan was like a War God, stunning the four great sects.

If Ye Xuan didn't die after this battle, his name would shake this Dark Dragon Abyss.

The Anlong Hall Master was also a Martial Saint, named An Lin.

He cupped his fists and said, "Many thanks for your aid, but you've already given your all. There's no need to continue. Please go."

Ye Xuan's eyes flickered at those words.

Indeed, he had already given his all.

He was already gravely wounded at this point; rather than fighting to the death against the enemy, it was better to flee.

So he cupped his fists and said, "Once I've grown stronger in the future, I will surely help Anlong Hall avenge this." An Lin nodded: "Good." After speaking, Ye Xuan retreated violently a thousand li.

At this moment, An Lin once again faced the pressure of the four great sects.

The people of the Immortal Pavilion wore a sinister look: "An Lin, you're seeking death." An Lin said coldly, "Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me." After speaking, An Lin's body suddenly swelled—he was actually planning to self-detonate. The people of the four great sects turned pale with horror: "Retreat, retreat beyond ten thousand li!" A Martial Saint's self-detonation would destroy all life within ten thousand li. 0……begging for flowers……Just then, a faint voice drifted over: "There's no need for self-detonation. From today on, I am taking over Anlong Hall. So this Anlong Hall, I am protecting it right now."

Then, a drifting force pressed down on An Lin, making it impossible for him to self-detonate.

An Lin looked up in astonishment and saw that the speaker was none other than Xu Chen. An Lin said resentfully, "You swallowed the Martial Emperor's remnant soul, why would you still save us?" Xu Chen said cheerfully, "That girl just knelt down and begged me, saying if I didn't help, she'd go help herself. What could I do? The Martial Emperor told me to protect her."
