443. Chapter 443: Hmph, that old geezer ran fast.

However, she did not speak.

Because she knew the disposition of the old man in the black robe.

For her to speak up at this moment would not be a good thing for Su Chen.

She only hoped that this old man in the black robe would not make things too difficult for Su Chen.

"Little girl, don't worry. I will only teach this brat a lesson; I won't take his life."

The old man in the black robe seemed to see the worried expression on Youji's face, stroked his beard, and said with a smile.

"Then thank you, Senior."

Hearing this, Youji finally let out a sigh of relief in her heart and nodded.

"Youji, don't be polite with this old scoundrel; he is merely putting on an act here."

Seeing this, Su Chen narrowed his eyes, stared at the old man before him, and mocked: "Old thing, if you have the ability, then just make a move."

"Brat, stop being so arrogant."

Seeing Su Chen provoke him, the old man in the black robe shouted angrily and gently raised his somewhat withered right hand.

"Boom—!"

The void exploded, space trembled, and a terrifyingly immense pressure descended.

This pressure made it almost impossible for everyone to catch their breath.

"Damn it, old thing, you don't play by the rules!"

Seeing the old man in the black robe actually make a move against him, Su Chen's expression changed abruptly.

He had still underestimated the strength of the old man in the black robe.

His head was pressed directly into the Nether Water by the old man, and he began to struggle instinctively.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of the old man in the black robe was far higher than Su Chen's; Su Chen had no way to resist at all.

"Glug, glug... old scoundrel, I'm not finished with you... glug, glug..."

Su Chen kept making sounds in his mouth and kept slapping the Nether Water, but no matter what methods Su Chen used, it was to no avail.

"Hahaha!"

The old man in the black robe laughed loudly: "Brat, do you think that just because your identity is the reincarnation of the Dragon Great Emperor, you can act recklessly in front of me? Let me tell you, my methods can not only seal your cultivation, but even seal your soul as well."

"How does the taste of this Nether Water?"

When he finished speaking, the old man's voice was incomparably gratified.

It seemed that seeing Su Chen in such pain made him incomparably happy.

"Old thing, you dare to touch me?"

With his soul sealed, Su Chen's expression sank, and he stared coldly at the old man in the black robe, cold light flashing in his eyes.

"What if I do dare to touch you?"

The old man in the black robe chuckled coldly and said: "Even when the Dragon Great Emperor of the Immortal World saw me back then, he had to politely serve me tea."

"You brat, you are merely his reincarnation; what is there that I dare not do to you?"

"Old thing, I don't accept this, I must take revenge!"

Being suppressed and bullied by the old man in the black robe, Su Chen felt as if he were being pressed down by a giant boulder; breathing was difficult, and he was exceptionally uncomfortable.

"With strength like yours, you still want to take revenge?"

Hearing this, the old man in the black robe sneered: "In front of me, you are just an ant that I could crush with one hand."

"Your strength is far too different from the Dragon Great Emperor who dominated the Immortal World back then; you don't even amount to one ten-millionth of him."

"Do you know what kind of people dealt with you back then? And you still want to take revenge for your past life?"

The old man in the black robe became more agitated as he spoke, as if those things that happened in the Immortal World a million years ago were still vivid in his mind.

As he spoke, turbid tears actually flowed from the corners of the old man's wrinkled eyes.

Listening to the old man recount the past events of the Immortal World, a look of astonishment appeared on the faces of the women.

They had not expected that such earth-shattering events, which they knew nothing about, had occurred in the Immortal World back then.

Although they did not understand why the old man in the black robe was shedding tears, they thought it must be related to the Dragon Great Emperor.

But none of them spoke to ask; they just stood quietly to the side, acting as quiet listeners, silently listening to the old man in the black robe's narration.

After a long while.

The old man in the black robe finally stopped, and his expression returned to normal.

He wiped away the tears in his eyes, looked at Su Chen with deep eyes, and said: "Brat, the original Dragon Great Emperor was much more composed than you are. As his reincarnation, you should learn a thing or two."

"Pah! This Young Master won't learn from him."

Hearing this, Su Chen spat disdainfully and said viciously: "Back then, it was precisely because of that that he was betrayed by his brothers and ended up with no bones left. I won't learn from him."

"Brat, do you know what you are saying?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, the old man in the black robe frowned fiercely and said in a deep voice: "Sometimes, what the eyes see is not necessarily the truth; it is just what others want you to see."

"Many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface."

"Sigh, you are ultimately still too green."

After the old man in the black robe finished this sentence, he suddenly shook his head with a bitter smile and said: "However, with your personality, you certainly won't be the one to suffer no matter where you go."

"Forget it, forget it. You and I are fated; I will give you some fortune. I hope you do not disappoint me."

After saying this, the aura on the old man's body suddenly surged, and he stretched out his right hand, directly sucking Su Chen over.

Immediately after, he placed his right hand on Su Chen's forehead.

"Old scoundrel, what are you going to do to me?!"

Seeing this, Su Chen's expression changed drastically, and he said in terror.

Facing the powerful old man, Su Chen was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, completely unable to resist in the slightest.

He, who was usually so domineering, was also somewhat panicked at this moment.

"Heh, you fearless little brat, you know how to be afraid too?"

As he spoke, the five fingers of the old man's right hand gripped Su Chen's skull tightly, and he said playfully: "I told you I would make you suffer a bit today, little brat, you better hold on."

As soon as the words fell, a dense amount of Spiritual Power poured continuously from the old man's right hand into the top of Su Chen's head.

In an instant, the black-robed old man and Su Chen were enveloped by the surrounding white Spiritual Qi.

"Ah~"

Su Chen, who was in the Nether Water, only felt intense pain spreading throughout his entire body.

This kind of pain was simply unbearable.

He could not help but let out bursts of miserable screams.

Yet even so, the black-robed old man did not intend to stop, but continued the movements of his hand.

"Ah, you old scoundrel, I'm not finished with you!"

Before long, the veins all over Su Chen's body bulged, his skin turned a greenish-purple, and wisps of white smoke rose continuously from his body; he was clearly enduring inhuman pain.

Hearing Su Chen's painful cursing, Luo Shen and the other women felt a wave of panic in their hearts.

Due to the obstruction of the white mist, they could not see the situation inside, and could only guess from Su Chen's miserable screams that he was likely suffering inhuman torture.

Finally, Xiaoxian was the first to lose her composure.

She wanted to rush into the white mist to rescue Su Chen, but as soon as she took a step, she was blocked by Youji.

"Youji, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Xiaoxian's beautiful eyes turned cold, and she said in a cold voice. She knew that Youji was very strong, and that her realm was suppressed at the Half-step Great Emperor Realm; she was no match for her.

But she did not want to see Su Chen continue to suffer in the hands of the black-robed old man.

Now that Youji was blocking her path, she was her enemy.

"Xiaoxian, do not be impulsive. The black-robed old man is not a bad person; he won't do anything to Su Chen."

Youji said softly, her tone full of reassurance.

Among the women present, she was the only one who had interacted with the black-robed old man, and she had some understanding of his temperament.

Since the other party only wanted to make Su Chen suffer a bit, he would definitely not harm Su Chen's life.

Moreover, from the black-robed old man's previous account, she had keenly captured a piece of extremely important information: the black-robed old man cared very much about the Great Emperor Dragon.

There even existed some kind of connection between the two.

Although the Great Emperor Dragon was no longer around, Su Chen was the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Dragon.

Just looking at this point alone, the black-robed old man would certainly not do anything to harm Su Chen's life.

Now that both were inside the white mist, no one could see the situation inside clearly.

If Xiaoxian were to rush in so rashly, not to mention whether she would completely enrage the black-robed old man, the Nether Water alone would cause Xiaoxian to die on the spot.

As another of Su Chen's women, Youji could naturally feel the inner worry of Xiaoxian and the others at this moment, but she was even more certain that they could not disturb the black-robed old man right now.

"Move aside, otherwise I won't be polite to you!"

Seeing Youji blocking her path, Xiaoxian's eyes turned cold, and she let out a cold snort, preparing to make a move to force Youji back.

"Xiaoxian, don't be anxious!"

Luo Shen, who had been silent on the side, pulled Xiaoxian's sleeve at this moment and said softly: "Youji is right. If this black-robed old man wanted to kill our husband, we wouldn't be able to stop him at all, and if he wanted to act, why wait until now?"

"Just as Youji said, we just need to wait for a few moments."

Hearing this, Xiaoxian was still somewhat anxious and uneasy: "But, watching my husband suffer, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife..."

"Do not worry too much; with us here, our husband will definitely not have any problems."

Luo Shen smiled, then cast her gaze toward the white mist in front.

Only to see two blurry figures vaguely visible within the white mist; although Su Chen's miserable screams came from time to time, there were no signs of any fighting or Spiritual Power fluctuations.

This scene made everyone heave a sigh of relief, while also raising a trace of doubt in Xiaoxian's heart.

Given the black-robed old man's strength, what exactly was he doing to Su Chen to make him let out such miserable howls?

Amidst the women's anxious waiting, Su Chen's howls disappeared, and before long, that mass of white mist also vanished along with them.

The women looked closely and saw that Su Chen had already passed out at some point.

And the black-robed old man was holding him with one hand.

A faint red light lingered on Su Chen's body, looking quite eerie.

"Little girl, take good care of him."

Having said that, the black-robed old man handed the unconscious Su Chen to Youji, his tone somewhat weary as he gave the instruction.

"Senior, what happened to my husband?"

Looking at the unconscious Su Chen in her arms, Youji's expression was somewhat hesitant; she bit her lip, but still asked the question in her heart.

Hearing this, the other women also cast their gazes in unison toward the black-robed old man, all waiting for his answer.

"Little girl, do not worry. I just used the Great Empowerment Technique on this little brat."

As he spoke, the black-robed old man looked at the unconscious Su Chen in Youji's arms and said indifferently: "This little brat's strength is too weak; if he goes to the Immortal World like this, he will likely be easily crushed to death by those guys."

"I don't want the last remaining glimmer of hope I've waited so many years for to just disappear like this."

"Enough said, I am tired, and it is time for me to leave."

As soon as the words fell, the black-robed old man's body slowly began to turn transparent.

"Senior, where are you going? How can I find you?"

Seeing the black-robed old man gradually turning into nothingness, Youji's expression changed, and she hurriedly asked.

The old man clearly had a debt of gratitude to Su Chen.

The Tiandao Guanzhiding Dafa, however, greatly depletes the caster, while the beneficiary is Su Chen.

The black-robed old man did this precisely to help Su Chen.

But at the same time, she became even more curious about the black-robed old man's identity.

"Of course I am going where I should go. When that brat wakes up, you tell him to remember the words I said before: guard against arrogance and impetuosity; the Great Dao is long, and if we are fated, we will naturally meet again."

The black-robed old man smiled slightly, his body finally turning into a breeze, disappearing completely into the air.

"The senior has left."

Looking at the place where the black-robed old man had vanished, Youji murmured to herself.

—————————

By the time Su Chen woke up, it was already three days later.

Su Chen stretched, feeling his body filled with Spiritual Power, and only then slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was a familiar face.

"Husband, you're finally awake!"

A melodious voice reached his ears.

Su Chen looked up and saw Youji looking at him with a worried expression, her eyes slightly red, looking as if she were about to cry.

"How long have I been asleep?"

Su Chen scratched his head and asked, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Three days."

Youji replied softly, "These three days have worried us sisters to death."

"Where is that old thing?"

Su Chen immediately thought of the black-robed old man and looked around, but found the place empty, with absolutely no trace of the old man.

"The senior left long ago."

Youji gave Su Chen a resentful look and said, "Before the senior left, he left a message. He said that you must remember the words he said before, and if you are fated, you will be able to meet again."

This old one and this young one, neither had any sense of propriety.

Even though they both knew the other had no ill intent, they acted like enemies the moment they met, constantly undermining each other.

"Hmph, that old geezer ran away fast."

Hearing this, Su Chen said dismissively, "If it weren't for the fact that he gave me an empowerment, I'd show him what's what."

Although he knew the black-robed old man waited here just to give him a massive stroke of fortune, the old man hadn't cared in the slightest whether he could withstand it when performing the empowerment, desperately pouring that Spiritual Power into his body.

If he weren't the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Dragon and born with the Divine Dragon Martial Soul, he reckoned he would have been pumped until he exploded by that old geezer long ago.

Thinking back to the inhuman pain he endured at that time, Su Chen still felt a lingering fear.

He did not want to experience that kind of pain ever again.

"Sigh, you two are just naturally at odds."

Hearing Su Chen's words, Youji shook her head helplessly and said, "Regardless, now that you are awake, Husband, what level has your cultivation reached?"
