442. Chapter 442: The Mysterious Old Man in Black Robes

"This Venerable One does not know either."

Hearing this, Youji shook her head and said: "Do you know that the Nether Water can devour all living things, including the life essence of the Human race? If you fly directly across, it is highly likely you will be instantly sucked into it, ending up with no bones left."

"Even if you don't think for yourself, you must think for us sisters, and for the children in their bellies."

After speaking, Youji said nothing more, just stood to the side, quietly watching Su Chen.

Hearing these words from Youji, Su Chen fell into a silence, finally slowly raising his head, his gaze firm as he said: "This Young Master must cross this Nether Water."

"Since the other party has arranged this for so long, I imagine they are waiting for me to cross."

"This Nether Water is likely just placed here to stop some petty villains; I estimate it is useless against this Young Master."

Although Su Chen was very certain about these things, no one could guarantee the final result.

After all, what that great figure who placed the Nether Water here was thinking, no one could clearly say.

In short, Su Chen was gambling! Gambling with his own life, betting that the other party was aiming specifically at him.

"You are gambling."

Hearing this, a look of worry flashed through Youji's beautiful eyes.

"Rest assured, I will be fine."

Su Chen patted Youji on the shoulder, comforting her by saying: "If I truly encounter danger, I will run away immediately; I won't wait to die."

Having said that, without waiting for the others to react, Su Chen took a step forward and leaped toward the Nether Water.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, Youji's heart felt somewhat complicated.

Why was Su Chen so fond of gambling, and even gambling with his own life?

Or rather, was Su Chen deceiving himself?

Youji felt somewhat lost; did cause and effect really exist in this world?

If Su Chen really met with an accident, what would she and the child in her belly do in the future? "Damn it."

Just as Youji was stunned, Su Chen's cursing voice came from ahead.

Boom~ Su Chen, who was above the Nether Water, was suddenly dragged down by a mysterious force and fell into the Nether Water.

"Ah!"

Seeing this scene, looks of terror appeared on the faces of the women.

They all knew the severity of the Nether Water now.

Now that Su Chen had truly fallen into the Nether Water, how could they not be worried?

"What kind of ghost thing is this, actually dragging this Young Master down!"

The women did not hear Su Chen's screams, but rather heard Su Chen poking his head out from inside the Nether Water, cursing loudly.

Seeing that Su Chen was unharmed in the Nether Water, the women all breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Su Chen had bet correctly; this Nether Water, which others would turn pale at the mere mention of, was no different from ordinary river water to someone like Su Chen.

It seemed this was related to Su Chen's Divine Dragon Martial Soul.

And the other party was indeed aiming for Su Chen.

At this moment, an old man in black robes had appeared out of nowhere opposite Su Chen.

The old man looked at Su Chen with an intriguing gaze and said indifferently: "Little fellow, I didn't expect you to have such ability."

"Old thing, did you intentionally place this Nether Water here?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes, staring at the black-robed old man before him with an unkind expression, and scolded him directly.

In his eyes, he did not regard this black-robed old man with any respect at all.

Since the other party had dragged him into the water and soaked his clothes, he would not give the other party a pleasant look.

"Guess!"

The black-robed old man did not answer, but instead let out a cold snort.

Clearly, he was extremely dissatisfied with Su Chen's attitude. He had guarded this place for who knows how many years, and this young junior actually spoke to him like this.

"Old scoundrel, you don't need to put on an act in front of this Young Master; this Young Master doesn't buy that."

Su Chen's eyes narrowed, cold light shooting out.

To deal with someone who loves to act arrogant, one must be even more ruthless than them.

Otherwise, the one who suffers will only be oneself, and it might even let the other party's schemes succeed.

"Hahaha, my strength is not something you can understand, but I will not bicker with a junior like you."

The black-robed old man laughed, then composed his expression and said coldly: "I have waited for you for I don't know how many years, Divine Dragon Great Emperor?"

"How do you know this Young Master's identity?"

Hearing the black-robed old man's words, Su Chen frowned, his heart tightening; how could the other party know his identity?

He had not said a single word about his past life until now.

Yet this black-robed old man had seen through his identity at a glance.

This left him astonished.

What was the background of this black-robed old man?

"Hehe."

The black-robed old man shook his head and said: "Divine Dragon Great Emperor, in our world, you can be considered a famous figure; naturally, I have heard of you."

"Back then, when you and your band of brothers turned the Immortal World upside down, I still remember it vividly."

The black-robed old man spoke with nonchalance.

But everyone present could not help but feel their hearts pounding, a sense of fear rising within them.

So, this old man in black robes had been waiting here for Su Chen all along.

No wonder he looked so confident.

"Hmph, you old thing, who exactly are you?"

Su Chen let out a cold snort, his eyes narrowing slightly as a trace of killing intent emerged.

"Who am I?"

The old man in black robes shook his head and sighed: "I am but a commoner, not worth mentioning!"

After speaking, he turned to Youji and asked with a faint smile: "Little girl, have you forgotten? Back then, if I hadn't reached out to help, I'm afraid you wouldn't have lived until today."

Hearing the words of the old man in black robes, Youji's pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head.

She remembered that when she was training in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, she had encountered a formidable great demon.

Just as she was in despair, an old man in black robes appeared before her, waved his hand, and instantly annihilated that great demon.

Because the old man's body was also wrapped in black robes, Youji naturally had not seen his true appearance.

Now, reminded by the old man, she suddenly thought of the old man in black robes who had extended a helping hand to her in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest.

"Thank you."

The old man in black robes' actions back then had filled Youji with immense gratitude.

At this moment, she offered her thanks from the bottom of her heart.

"Little girl, you are not bad."

Hearing Youji's thanks, a smile appeared on the face of the old man in black robes.

"This is only right, after all, Senior saved my life."

Youji bit her lip gently and said in a soft voice.

"You are a good girl, but this brat is a muddled fool."

The old man in black robes seemed to appreciate Youji, his tone filled with kindness, but his impression of Su Chen was extremely poor.

Hearing the old man in black robes' poor assessment of Su Chen, a look of worry flashed across Youji's face. (End of this chapter)
