When the Heaven-Destroying Sword appeared, Hua Qian, Zhou Yi, and Xiao Yu all widened their eyes and looked at Su Chen in shock.
"This is … a holy weapon!"
"The Soul Palace doesn't have many holy weapons and there's only one holy sword. It's in the hands of Yu Shi. I've seen it before and it's not like this. Could this be a holy weapon that you, Holy Son, brought along?"
As Hua Qian spoke, he couldn't help but guess Su Chen's identity and background.
Although holy weapons weren't considered treasures in the Spirit Mountain and the Jingzhou, even normal Saint Realm experts might not have the ability to obtain a holy weapon. When Su Chen joined the Soul Palace, he only had the cultivation of a Lifeless Tribulation. Yet, he had a holy weapon. This was definitely not a treasure that normal Immortal Cultivators could possess.
It seemed that Su Chen either had a great opportunity or had an extraordinary background.
To be honest, Su Chen's action of taking out the Heaven-Destroying Sword was rather risky.
Although Hua Qian wasn't Wu Cong, a holy weapon had a great attraction to any Immortal Cultivator.
It was hard for Su Chen to guarantee that these three people wouldn't be blinded by greed and commit murder.
However, if these three people weren't stupid, even if they had greed in their hearts, they would immediately suppress it.
Not to mention that Su Chen was valued by the twelve Soul Grandmasters in the Soul Palace, even now, if they wanted to obtain an opportunity and safely leave the Spirit King's ancient tomb, they had to rely on Su Chen's ability. Without Su Chen, who knew what would happen to the three of them.
"Xiao Yu, don't get any ideas. This holy weapon isn't something that you have the qualifications to touch." Hua Qian suddenly opened his mouth and said jokingly to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu was stunned and hurriedly said with a red and white face: "Hua Qian, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have any ideas about the holy weapon? Don't slander my innocence!"
He admitted that when he saw Su Chen's holy weapon, there was a moment of greed that arose. However, he quickly suppressed it.
After being knocked down by Hua Qian like this, Xiao Yu's little bit of scheming vanished into thin air.
Su Chen glanced at Hua Qian and secretly nodded in his heart.
This guy was very smart.
However, it didn't seem to be a good thing to be too proactive. All the traitors would be very loyal from the start.
No matter what, Su Chen still had to be as careful as possible. Not only did he have to deal with the dangers ahead, but he also had to pay attention to his surroundings.
Fortunately, Su Chen's ability to detect danger was still very effective. He was not afraid of being ambushed.
Moreover, Su Chen had the protection of the koi fish. Even if he was ambushed, his defense would soar when he received the first attack. Even if an expert of the Longevity Tribulation wanted to ambush Su Chen, it would be very difficult to kill him with one move, unless the opponent was dozens of times stronger than Su Chen.
Moreover, in terms of combat strength, Su Chen was actually not much inferior to a Longevity Tribulation expert. After all, he had already devoured several types of powerful Mystical Flames. When the Great Solar Flame was fully unleashed, its explosive power was extremely terrifying. If it was a one-on-one battle, Su Chen was confident that he would not lose to a Longevity Tribulation expert who had grown up in a greenhouse.
At this moment, Zhou Yi suddenly stopped and frowned.
"There's the aura of the Immortal ahead!"
Su Chen also sensed the danger ahead, but he didn't sense it as quickly as Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi was the first to notice the sound of flowing water. Her perception could be said to be quite sharp.
Hua Qian explained, "Junior Sister Zhou Yi was born with the Nine Senses Soul Body. She has three more senses than us. She can sense more subtle environmental fluctuations."
"I see."
Su Chen said, "Now that things have come to this, we can only go forward. Let's see the situation first. If we can't beat them, we'll run."
Zhou Yi's knees trembled slightly. "Senior Brother Hua Qian, Senior Brother Xiao Yu, you guys should take the lead. I'm a little scared."
Su Chen pulled Zhou Yi to his side and said, "Let them attack first. We'll support them from the back."
Hua Qian felt the pressure, but he was the strongest and most experienced among the four of them. He could only brace himself and go forward.
Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva and followed Hua Qian. "Senior Brother Hua Qian, I'll go with you. If you say attack, I'll attack. If you say run, I'll run."
"Look at how scared you are. If word gets out, you'll lose face for our Soul Palace." Hua Qian glared at Xiao Yu, although his own knees were starting to tremble.
The four of them kept moving forward. Soon, they arrived at a dark hall.
There were four huge dragon-shaped stone pillars around the hall. There were chains wrapped around the pillars. It was like a huge prison. There seemed to be something locked inside, but it was too dark to see clearly.
Near the entrance sat a shriveled figure. It was a small old man wearing a black gown. His face was full of wrinkles. He was no more than six feet tall. His hair was sparse, and his skin hugged his bones. His green eyes were wide open, like a ghost.
Was this an Immortal?
At a glance, Su Chen found that the Undying's body exuded a very strong life force as if it had an infinitely powerful life force. However, this kind of life force was very different from normal life force. It felt more like … a well-constructed machine. It was a lifeless life force.
This description was a bit strange, but the Immortal gave Su Chen the feeling.
The Spirit Race must have used some method to allow living beings to live for a long time.
However, the price was obvious. This Immortal didn't have any soul at all. It was just a shell.
Su Chen couldn't help but think of the Sea Race's life force modification technology in Xuanyuan Continent.
It should be a similar method, but the life force modified by the Spirit Race was clearly more powerful. After all, the Spirit Race had been extinct for millions of years, but the Immortal was still alive.
Su Chen and the others didn't dare to breathe for fear of alarming the Immortal.
However, they still had to face what had to be faced.
Hua Qian calmed down and took out his transcendent-grade divine tool. It was a sword box filled with one hundred and eight flying daggers.
Xiu xiu xiu!
The flying daggers turned into streaks of cold light and shot towards the Undyings.
"Attack!"
Xiao Yu didn't hesitate either. He took out his magic treasure, a spiral-shaped spear driven by the spiritual power of an Immortal Tribulation expert. Its speed instantly reached the extreme, and it blasted towards the Immortal's heart like an electromagnetic gun.
The full strength attack of two Immortal Tribulation experts was extremely powerful. However …
The Immortal didn't move at all. He completely endured the attack of the flying daggers and the spear.
The black robe on his body wasn't even damaged.
"Oh no, run!"
After one blow, Hua Qian knew that with his and Xiao Yu's strength, it was impossible to kill the Immortal. He wanted to run away immediately.
Su Chen also pulled Zhou Yi, who was still in a state of shock, out of the main hall.
The four of them looked at each other. They were all scared out of their wits.
The Immortal's defense was simply too abnormal.
"Strange, why didn't he catch up?"
Su Chen also found something strange.
He gathered his courage and entered the hall again to take a look. He saw that although the Immortal's eyes were wide open, he was still sitting cross-legged on the ground, motionless.
"Could it be that this Immortal has lost his ability to move?"
