334. Chapter 334: Changes in the Central Province

"No, there is important business ahead that cannot be delayed. Being able to rest in the Western Wasteland for a while is already good enough."

Su Chen continued, "Before everything is completed, I still cannot rest easily."

Although he did not clearly state the reason for his words, the four Elders could glimpse a hint of it.

The Great Emperor Dragon was once one of the top existences in the Immortal World; strictly speaking, he was almost immortal.

Yet now, not only has he reincarnated, but he has even lost his memories; there must be a huge conspiracy hidden within this.

Moreover, with their current strength, they might not be able to help Su Chen, as the enemy is extremely powerful. All they can do is support Su Chen from behind.

Thinking of this, the group no longer insisted.

"Rest assured, the entire Western Wasteland will be left to us to manage on your behalf. If there is anything you need, send us a message at any time."

Ao Hong nodded gently, the expression on his face very serious.

"Then our King..."

Ao Meng hesitated for a moment, looking at the very cheerful Xiaoxian, and subconsciously felt that Xiaoxian would not stay in the Western Wasteland.

As soon as Xiaoxian heard her name, she instantly became alert.

She hurriedly stated her position: "I am going to follow Master to the Central Province to protect Master."

Although she is the King of the Dragon Race, she is Su Chen's person first, and the King of the Dragon Race second.

Letting her abandon Su Chen to stay here—just thinking about it felt terrifying.

Hearing this, they were not surprised, but they still felt very reluctant in their hearts.

After all, this group of old bones had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and it had not been easy to finally welcome their King back.

Now that they had to part after such a short time, they were truly reluctant.

"King, you ruling over all the Spirit Beasts in the Western Wasteland is also equivalent to helping my Master."

Ao Fang would not give up and spoke tentatively.

"Yes, yes, the Western Wasteland also has countless delicious foods and rare treasures; it is very interesting."

Ao Yuan also could not help but tempt her.

When Xiaoxian heard about delicious food, her eyes could not help but light up, but upon second thought, she still felt that Su Chen was more important. She forcibly suppressed the desire in her heart and said with a firm face: "No, I just want Master."

Su Chen looked at her little appearance and was so amused he couldn't speak. After a long while, he patted Xiaoxian's head and said: "Since Xiaoxian wants to follow me, then follow me. If there are any problems here, you can send me a message."

Hearing this, the several Elders could only let the matter drop. After all, Su Chen's word was absolute; whether he was right or wrong, they would obey unconditionally.

Just like that, a few more days passed, and the group set off in a grand procession toward the Central Province.

The geographical location of the Central Province is not far from the Western Wasteland, but its appearance is completely different from the Western Wasteland. It is surrounded by water on all four sides, with a huge city in the middle, inside of which are countless sects.

Even though it is surrounded by water, there are countless small islands, and different sects and noble families are situated on these islands, which can be considered a unique scenery.

To enter the Central Province, one must first pass through the city gate. After entering, it is divided into different terrains and different islands, which is very troublesome.

The group traveled for several days before reaching the city gate. It was already approaching dusk, and the city gate was crowded with countless people, all desperately trying to get inside.

But a soldier rudely blocked them all outside the gate.

An old man was walking inside tremblingly. Seeing the city gate about to close, he subconsciously wanted to rush in, but was kicked to the ground by the guarding soldier. "Do you understand the rules? Do you understand the rules?! Didn't you see that the time is up? The city gate is about to close; if you want to get in, come back tomorrow."

The soldier said impatiently.

"Please, let me in. I have a child at home, and he is still waiting for me."

The old man hunched his body, hugged the soldier's thigh, and said with snot and tears.

There were many other people next to him, all gathered together, but they were cautious and did not dare to step forward.

Seeing this bizarre scene, the group did not act rashly.

"I said no means no. If you pester me again, I'll kill you right now!"

The soldier directly and impatiently drew his sword, and the biting cold light instantly blinded everyone's eyes.

And that sword was already placed at the old man's neck. The others did not doubt for a second that if the old man continued to pester them, the soldiers would immediately slit his throat.

The old man, wanting to get in, ultimately valued his life. He could only tremble his lips, unable to speak for a long time, and watched helplessly as the city gate closed.

Seeing there was no hope, the others could only leave dejectedly.

Su Chen and the others exchanged a look, and Lv Luo walked to the old man first, handing him a few Spirit Fruits.

"Grandpa, if you can't go back, you can't go back. I have some fruits here; take them to pad your stomach first."

Lv Luo smiled sweetly, and coupled with her beautiful appearance, she was exceptionally approachable.

The old man looked at the fruits in his hands with teary eyes and thanked Lv Luo repeatedly: "Young lady, thank you, thank you."

As he spoke, he was about to kneel to Lv Luo.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Lv Luo hurriedly supported the old man and said, "It was just a small effort."

The old man did not insist further. He could tell at a glance that Lv Luo's status was extraordinary. He carefully held the fruits and then said: "You shouldn't be from the Central Province, right? If you are just passing through, let an old man give you a piece of advice: leave here quickly."

"This Central Province is about to change!"

Hearing the last sentence, Lv Luo's pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't help but ask: "I am indeed not from the Central Province; I only came here because of some matters. Can you tell me what has happened here recently?"

Hearing this, the old man was not surprised. He sighed knowingly and continued: "Young lady, you don't know. The Central Province wasn't like this before; it was only because the Lin Family fell, and after that..."

He did not finish his words, but the meaning within was already very obvious.

Lv Luo was confused, but she still patiently asked: "Can you tell me what has happened recently?"

Seeing that Lv Luo was truly persistent, the old man continued: "This is a long story. Before, when the Lin Family fell, Lin Zhengnan played many tricks while dividing the resources. On the surface, the Central Province is united, but in reality, it has already fallen apart from within."

This old man looked like just an ordinary Cultivator with no talent. Because he started his path late, his appearance remained in the form of an old man, and his cultivation was also very low.

"If it has fallen apart, why would it restrict you Cultivators from entering and leaving the city?"

Hearing this, Lv Luo subconsciously felt that something was wrong and could not help but raise her own question.

"It's all because they have to catch the remnants of the Nangong Family, so it's been exceptionally strict both inside and outside the city lately; once the time is up, no one is allowed to enter or leave." (End of chapter)
