362. Chapter 362: Thank You, Brother

"However, Xiaoxian and I found a secret chamber. There are some things inside, but I always felt something was off, so we didn't touch anything, thinking we should wait for you to take a look."

Natasha gently pursed her lips; her gaze was soft, and her sea-like eyes were deep and earnest.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen instantly became interested.

In fact, through his observations just now, Su Chen had also discovered the parts that were not right.

The Leiyin Clan people had lived here for a long time. Logically speaking, countless powerful families had existed over such a long period, so why was it that only the somewhat declining Sun Family and Nangong Family were able to break in?

Moreover, according to what Ano and Sen said, the barrier of Leiyin Island prior to this would actually repel everyone who was not of the Leiyin Clan.

It made no sense that people from the Nangong Family and Sun Family could enter recently.

This was very strange.

His intuition told Su Chen that the secret of how the two families were able to enter here must have something to do with that secret chamber.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately followed Luo Shen to that secret chamber.

The secret chamber looked very new; it was obvious that people entered it frequently.

"Before we entered here, there was a very strange array that did not belong to this era. If it weren't for the fact that I had happened to see it in an ancient book before, I probably wouldn't have been able to get in."

Luo Shen looked at the furnishings inside, her eyes deepening slightly.

Su Chen nodded gently and began to carefully examine the objects in the Secret Realm.

Although the things inside were precious, they were not enough to warrant being sealed by such a mysterious array.

Doing it this way was more like an insurance policy, not wanting others to come in and discover something.

"Xiaoxian and I have already looked at these things, and there is nothing unusual about them."

Feeling Su Chen's questioning gaze, Luo Shen continued, "My intuition tells me that there must be something else in here; otherwise, it wouldn't make someone like Nangong Xuntian guard it so seriously."

This was true; Nangong Xuntian looked like an arrogant and brainless person at first glance.

To be able to make him guard the items inside so earnestly, it definitely wasn't as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Thinking of this, Su Chen gathered all his focus, determined to see what was different inside.

But after looking for a long time, he still didn't see anything unusual.

"What exactly is strange about this place? I just feel like something is wrong."

Xiaoxian couldn't help but touch her head; she didn't understand the complexities, but her intuition also told her that there must be something she hadn't discovered.

But since there was currently no clue to be found, Xiaoxian was anxious.

Su Chen also knew that continuing to look blindly like this was not a solution.

He steadied his mind slightly and carefully observed the anomalies in the surroundings.

Since it was to guard something, that thing might not necessarily be in plain sight.

But if it were here, it would certainly leave traces behind.

Sure enough, under his observation, one corner was significantly cleaner, and compared to other places, the wear and tear was more severe.

Su Chen made a prompt decision, crouched down, and began to search with his hands. Sure enough, there was a brick that could be moved.

He pressed it with force.

The wall in front of him suddenly made a violent sound.

The few of them hurriedly retreated a few steps.

Following that, a small hidden compartment came into view. Inside was only a small box, very exquisite, with a lifelike flower embroidered on it.

The few of them looked at each other and immediately understood that this was the thing they were looking for. Su Chen took the box out; inside was only a letter.

Su Chen opened it, and the content of the letter was revealed.

"I provide you with a place to settle down, and you must obey my orders. After settling here, you must find the person who possesses the Divine Dragon Martial Soul."

The few short lines of text on the letter immediately stirred up stormy waves in everyone's hearts.

If it were before, they would certainly have had no clue about these words.

But now, they immediately knew that the person who wrote this letter was most likely an envoy sent down to the Central Province by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

It seems that the Su Family and Nangong Family being able to enter here must have something to do with that envoy, but it is unknown who that envoy actually is.

However, Su Chen and the others had been in the Central Province for so long, and besides taking revenge, they were also looking for the envoy of the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor.

Now, they finally had a lead.

"There is only this much in the letter. I don't know about the rest. Who on earth is it?"

Xiaoxian couldn't help but touch her head, feeling very impatient.

This letter clearly told them a lot of information, yet they couldn't find the person's location. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; this feeling is very uncomfortable.

"Nangong Xuntian is an arrogant fool who cannot accomplish anything major. That envoy obviously knows this truth as well, which is why he didn't tell him too much information. If we want to know more, I'm afraid we have to go see the current Head of the Family of the Sun Family."

Luo Shen only pondered for a moment before immediately thinking of this level.

Indeed, they had only been in contact with Nangong Xuntian for a short time, and they could already feel that he was an arrogant and brainless person. If it weren't for the fact that he was a direct descendant of the Nangong Family and his cultivation was at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, he probably wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of Head of the Family.

"It seems our next step is the Sun Family."

Su Chen's gaze was heavy, and there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

Su Chen had never been soft-hearted toward those who wanted to kill him.

At least now, besides revenge, he had a new goal.

In order not to alert the enemy, the group decided to stay in the Nangong Family first.

Not long after resting, Ano and Sen came to see Su Chen.

At that time, Su Chen had just come out of the gentle embrace of Yi Zhuyue, his face still carrying a satisfied laziness. Seeing the two of them arrive, he was a bit surprised.

"Why are you here?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

After resolving Nangong Xuntian, Su Chen told the two of them that they would be staying here for the time being.

Thus, the remaining members of the Leiyin Clan were summoned by Sen; firstly, because Su Chen and his group lacked manpower, and bringing them over would allow for better control of the Nangong Family.

Any sign of trouble would be reported to Su Chen immediately.

Secondly, it was not safe for the Leiyin Clan members to always stay outside the barrier, and while the Sun Family was still sending people to search, they and the Nangong Family could be considered to be minding their own business.

Therefore, staying here was very safe.

"We have come specifically to thank you; it is thanks to you that our Leiyin Clan people have been returned a pure land."

Sen smiled slightly, and sensing Ano's nervousness, he squeezed her palm twice firmly, attempting to transmit his energy to her.

Ano pursed her lips, stepped forward two paces, and said solemnly to Su Chen: "Thank you, Brother. Your kindness to the Leiyin Clan is something we will never forget. In the future, if you have any need for help, we of the Leiyin Clan will spare no effort."

Although their Leiyin Clan people were somewhat weak and might be dispensable to Su Chen, for them, this was the greatest loyalty and respect they could offer.

"It's nothing, we were just helping out along the way." (End of chapter)
