420. Chapter 420: Youji's Token

Meng Huo nodded earnestly.

Su Chen was actually quite curious as to how Meng Huo had discerned that Natasha was of the Mermaid Race; after all, in his impression, the barbarian tribes in this land were extremely impoverished, with few even having contact with Spiritual Power.

"To tell you the truth, Hua Gudu's mother was once a member of the Mermaid Race, and his father was a member of our barbarian tribe. When he passed away, he left behind this crystal."

Meng Huo said leisurely, his memories stirred by the mention of past events.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen instantly felt the crystal in his hand was like a hot potato; although this item was a rare treasure, it was, after all, left for Hua Gudu.

A gentleman does not covet what others love.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately wanted to return the crystal, but was stopped by Meng Huo.

"This is Hua Gudu's wish. Although Hua Gudu is a half-breed of the Mermaid Race and the barbarian tribe, he is unable to absorb the Spiritual Power within the crystal. Keeping it here would only invite covetous eyes."

Meng Huo looked in the direction where Hua Gudu had left, a kind smile appearing on his face.

When Su Chen heard this, he originally wanted to refuse, but upon second thought, if he kept letting the barbarian tribe be so grateful, they would feel uncomfortable in their hearts, as the barbarian tribe was inherently a warm and hospitable people.

Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled slightly, accepted it politely, and said earnestly: "Since it is their good intention, I naturally will not refuse. Please thank them for me later."

Meng Huo nodded gently, his kind eyes filled with a hint of pleasure.

The two spoke of some trivial matters, then bid farewell to Meng Huo and returned to their residence.

At this moment, Ziwei Xianzi and Yi Zhuyue had not yet left; they were gathered around the bedside of Youji Nuhuang, the three of them whispering incessantly, their expressions very excited.

From far away, Su Chen heard Youming Nuhuang say: "In the future, the three of us will serve the Divine Dragon Great Emperor together. With the three of us sisters together, we can at least look out for one another."

"Su Chen is actually a very good person, and his leadership ability is very strong, with extremely high talent. Although he is currently only at the Great Saint Realm in cultivation, but... it has not even been a few years since he started cultivating." This was Yi Zhuyue's voice.

One must know that before this, Youji Nuhuang had always assumed that at Su Chen's age, he had been cultivating since childhood to reach this realm, which would barely qualify him as a genius.

But hearing Yi Zhuyue say this today, she realized that Su Chen was no mere genius; he was a monster. His cultivation speed was peerless throughout the entire Tianxuan Continent, and even in the Immortal World, he was rare to find.

Worthy of being the Divine Dragon Great Emperor! "And he is as vigorous as a Dragon and a Tiger, and possesses the Flame Sun Sacred Body..."

The following voice was spoken by Ziwei Xianzi, and before she could finish, Su Chen had already pushed the door open and entered.

The three chattering women felt inexplicably guilty the moment they saw Su Chen enter, as they had just been talking about the person in question for quite a while.

"You're back. How did things progress?"

Yi Zhuyue was the first to break the awkwardness, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Especially Ziwei Xianzi; the moment she thought about the bold and suggestive words she had just spoken, which might have been heard by Su Chen, her cheeks instantly turned flushed.

"The progress is good. This afternoon, I plan to go to the Shengdi with the Spirit Master to investigate."

Su Chen smiled slightly and did not mention the words he had just heard.

Seeing that this matter had been moved past, the three of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"My intuition tells me that there must be unknown secrets hidden within this barbarian tribe. Youji, you have lived in Nanman for a long time; do you know any useful information?"

Ziwei Xianzi cast her gaze toward Youji Nuhuang, smiling kindly. Youji Nuhuang pursed her lips and then said: "When I first came here, I originally wanted to take all of Nanman for myself, but the barbarian tribe has always had a strange barrier. Even as a Half-step Great Emperor, I could not get anywhere near it."

Speaking of this, Su Chen and the others had naturally heard of it; this must be the ancient heritage of the barbarian tribe.

"However, within the Sea Clan, there are some strange ruins in the deep sea. I went to investigate them before, but... I gained nothing, yet I could feel very intense Spiritual Power fluctuations inside."

Youji Nuhuang could not help but sigh when she said this.

One must know that with Youming Nuhuang's level of cultivation, she had few rivals in the Tianxuan Continent, yet it had made her feel wary time and time again; it was truly unfathomable.

"When you were sent down by the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor before, did he say anything to you?"

Su Chen said softly.

"To the Immortal World, the Tianxuan Continent is merely an insignificant little world. There are thousands of small world planes of this scale, but this one alone... is something he values highly."

Yi Zhuyue thought for a moment and also felt that something was wrong.

"I previously thought that he went to such great lengths to send the four of us down because he was wary of the existence of the reincarnated Divine Dragon Great Emperor, but later I always felt something was off."

Ziwei Xianzi also could not help but speak up.

After all, although the reincarnation of the Divine Dragon Great Emperor is important, hundreds of thousands of years have passed; why was the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor so certain that Su Chen was the one reincarnated here?

And the tokens he left for them respectively—could they be hiding some secret? Thinking of this, the expressions of the group were all very grave.

The atmosphere was now somewhat tense; because there were no clues, everyone remained silent, just quietly casting their gaze toward Su Chen.

"Even if it is a secret, we will discover it sooner or later. That said, what is the token the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor gave you?"

Su Chen cast his gaze toward Youji Nuhuang and asked firmly.

This reminded Youji Nuhuang, and a Sheepskin Scroll instantly appeared in her hand. Because of its great age, the Sheepskin Scroll had lost its original color, and the drawings on it were not very clear; one could not make out the scribbles on it at all.

"This Sheepskin Scroll really looks... ancient."

Yi Zhuyue could not help but say.

Compared to the tokens of the other three, Youji Nuhuang's looked like a piece of junk, and it was unclear whether it was because she hadn't preserved it well or if it had always looked like this.

"It was already in this state when I received it, but for the last few hundred thousand years, it has not changed at all."

Youji Nuhuang slowly explained.

"There is no Spiritual Power contained within it, and the patterns on it are already blurred. It really does look like an ordinary scroll." Ziwei Xianzi examined it earnestly, but could not connect it to anything.

"If it were truly insignificant, the Heavenly Dao Great Emperor would not have gone to such great lengths to have you bring it to the lower realm."

Su Chen could not help but sneer, his eyes flashing with coldness as he spoke of his enemy.

"I'm afraid it requires specific conditions to be activated." Ziwei Xianzi concluded. (End of chapter)
