What!
How is this possible!?
The scene in the field caused the other two to be shocked. Lie Shan, who was originally not in a hurry to stop the fight and was about to save Xiao Chen, stared at Xiao Chen's body. At this moment, he realized that in just over a month, Xiao Chen, who was still at the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm in Duanmu City, had actually made a great breakthrough in his strength, from the early stage of the Blood Refining Realm to the peak of the mid stage of the Blood Refining Realm. This speed was somewhat inconceivable to him.
As for the old man with the surname Hong, he was purely shocked by Xiao Chen's strength. At such a young age, Xiao Chen's strength was so extraordinary that he was able to force his companion to retreat. He was all too clear about the strength of his companion, who had accompanied him for many months in the Great Wilderness. Although the middle-aged man's entire cultivation was focused on archery, his strength at the late stage of the Blood Refining Realm was a solid martial cultivation. On the other hand, the young man in front of him was only at the peak of the mid stage of the Blood Refining Realm. One must not underestimate the difference of a small level. They were two different realms, and there was a huge gap between them. At this moment, the only thought in his mind was, "What kind of genius is this?"
"Bastard!"
Seeing that he was actually not a match for the young man in front of him, and that he had even lost face in front of his companion, the middle-aged man immediately felt embarrassed. His face was as red as fire, and he roared, intending to once again teach this arrogant young man a lesson.
"Stop, Yuan Yu. This little brother is my friend. Moreover, we still have important matters to attend to. How can we casually cause trouble!"
"What!
Brother Lie Shan, I have never heard of you having such a young friend! "
As soon as Lie Shan finished speaking, his figure did not slow down. Immediately, with a flash, he arrived between Xiao Chen and the middle-aged man, Yuan Yu, and used his body to separate the two.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Chen knew that it was time for this farce to end. As expected, when the furious middle-aged man saw Lie Shan's actions, he loosened his clenched fists despite the unwillingness in his heart and the fact that he really wanted to get back at Xiao Chen.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had put down his dispute due to his intervention, the Black Iron Spear Lie Shan nodded in acknowledgment. He knew his companion's character very well.
After a while, the Black Iron Spear Lie Shan looked at Xiao Chen again and said, "Sure enough, heroes come from the young. Patriarch Xiao is really a peerless genius. I haven't seen you for a month, but your martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. It really makes me feel ashamed!"
"This area is not far from Xiao Chen's tribe. I think the reason why Patriarch Xiao appeared in this bloody valley alone is to investigate the cause of the outburst of these vengeful spirits!
Did you find anything in this valley? "
"That's right!
This junior also chased after these rampaging vengeful spirits all the way to this bloody valley. I never thought that I would come back empty-handed. After the source of the vengeful spirits came to this valley, all the clues disappeared. Xiao Chen was foolish and couldn't figure it out no matter how much I thought about it, so I could only return empty-handed! "
In response to the Black Iron Spear Lie Shan's interrogation, Xiao Chen casually replied. As for the underground city in this valley, the Ancient Purple Snake War Department, the Path of the Void, and the otherworldly experience, he naturally wouldn't tell anyone else. This was a secret that he had to guard. Before his strength had reached the level where he could resist the dangers of the great wilderness, it was better for as few people as possible to know about this secret.
Moreover, when he walked out of the underground city, Venerable Purple Snake had already sealed the underground city again. Perhaps it couldn't hide it from the eyes of experts, but it definitely wouldn't include the three people in front of him. That was why he answered Lie Shan's question without any hesitation.
"May I know why seniors have come here? Could it be that you've also chased after the source of the vengeful spirits like Xiao Chen?!"
In response to Xiao Chen's question, Lie Shan didn't try to hide it. Instead, he explained, "A month ago, a cruel and bloodthirsty otherworldly race suddenly appeared in our Giant Stone Valley. It continuously slaughtered our human tribes, intending to use blood sacrifices to recover its strength! As wanderers, how could we just watch as this otherworldly race slaughtered our fellow humans on our land? Therefore, the three of us joined forces, intending to kill this otherworldly race that massacred our human tribes. However, this otherworldly race was too cunning, and had even practiced an escape technique. Every time the three of us injured it, it would flee. When it reappeared, its injuries would have already healed. We chased it all the way from the southern region of Giant Stone Valley to this place. We chased it all the way here, from the Desolate Region in the south of our Giant Stone Valley, all the way here. I didn't expect it to have such a method, actually releasing so many vengeful spirits to wreak havoc in the great wilderness!"
Hearing Lie Shan's words, Xiao Chen already knew why the three of them had appeared here. However, at this moment, he wasn't worried that the valley behind him would reveal the slightest flaw. Venerable Purple Snake was a great warrior at the Sixth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. Even after tens of thousands of years, only a remnant of his soul was left, it was still not something that a warrior at the Blood Refining Realm could spy on.
"Sigh, the place where the vengeful spirits broke out is not far from my Gu Yuan Tribe. My Gu Yuan Tribe is the first to bear the brunt. As the leader of the tribe, Xiao Chen had no choice but to come alone to investigate the source of the vengeful spirits. Otherwise, how long would my Gu Yuan Tribe be able to withstand this Specter Frenzy? Fortunately, thanks to the protection of my ancestors, the Specter Frenzy has weakened, and my Gu Yuan Tribe will be able to withstand this foreign race disaster!"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the three of them couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Xiao Chen. Even the middle-aged man, Yuan Yu, who originally didn't get along with Xiao Chen, couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen in a different light. After all, Xiao Chen's cultivation was only at the Blood Refining Realm. When the vengeful spirits were wreaking havoc and the vast wilderness was plunged into darkness, he was completely unaware of the dangers in the outside world. However, for the sake of the tribe's safety, he had resolutely left his tribe to search for the foreign race alone. This courage and breadth of mind were worthy of being called a hero of the Human Clan.
"I didn't know that Senior came to this valley. Could it be that there are traces of the foreign race in this valley?"
"That cunning alien disappeared without a trace after he reached this valley. All of his aura was concealed by some unknown method. We chased after him for more than a month, crossing tens of thousands of miles in the Wasteland. I didn't expect that he would still escape!"
"Brother Lie, I think we should enter the valley to investigate and see if there are any traces left behind!"
"Brother Lie, we chased after this foreign race for more than a month and crossed tens of thousands of miles in the vast wilderness. How can we let him escape just like that? He's stained with the blood of our fellow humans. Only by crushing his bones and scattering his ashes can we comfort our clansmen who were cruelly sacrificed by him!"
Therefore, Xiao Chen didn't say anything and left. After all, this remnant of the foreign beast race had a trace of connection with him. At this moment, he already knew that this remnant of the foreign beast race had possessed the body of Xuan Kui, the leader of the Black Snake Tribe whom he had killed. Therefore, it was necessary for Xiao Chen to confirm his guess.
