Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

In mid-air, the transformed demon froze completely.

The power of heavenly tribulation.

When ordinary cultivators break through to the next level, what they fear most is the tribulation.

Let alone triggering it, even a trace of it would cause ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators to suffer greatly.

Unless one is a Void Refinement stage expert!

Otherwise, who could so easily summon a wisp of heavenly tribulation power?

"Fellow Daoist."

"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be a cultivator from Tian Shu Star City."

"Why did you stop me all the way here?"

The great demon's tone immediately became much more polite.

The fierce aura it had just exuded had mostly subsided.

Su Chen almost burst out laughing.

Stop you?

You walked right into this mess yourself.

However, as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he possibly fight against a powerful demon comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator?

There was absolutely no chance of winning.

But seeing the fearful look on the great demon's face, it was clear that the wisp of heavenly tribulation power had intimidated him.

But it is precisely at times like these that one must not show the slightest weakness.

That's the rule in the cultivation world: the more you back down, the more certain your opponent is that you're no match for them.

On the contrary, it is by being unyielding and domineering in every way that the other party is unable to figure out his true intentions and becomes timid and hesitant.

"It was you who struck first, fellow Daoist."

"I am just passing through this place and have no grudge against you."

"Since you dare to attack me."

"Then you must die."

Su Chen snorted coldly.

These words were naturally meant to intimidate the powerful demon before them.

The great demon sized up Su Chen, who was only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

But it can easily summon the power of heavenly tribulation.

Could it be... a disciple accepted by some powerful cultivator at the Void Refinement stage?

Or perhaps, he is a prodigy emerging from some reclusive grand sect?

That's not a big deal, after all, the sects of the demon race and the human race have never had much contact.

However, I fear that the young cultivator in front of me may actually have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, but is simply hiding his cultivation level.

There might even be techniques or magical artifacts that could trigger heavenly tribulations.

This is going to be difficult!

"Ha ha ha ha."

"I was rash just now."

"To be honest, this matter stems from an old grudge between my demon race and the Heavenly Pivot Star City."

"It has nothing to do with you, fellow Daoist."

"If you, fellow Daoist, are willing to let me leave."

"Please accept this item, fellow Daoist."

"If you have time in the future, you may bring this item to my demon clan for a search."

"I will certainly repay this great kindness today!"

The great demon laughed heartily, his words becoming even more polite, before flicking his sleeve.

Something flew towards Su Chen.

Su Chen reached out and took it.

It is a scale.

Su Chen didn't stand on ceremony and casually put it into his storage bag.

The great demon saw that he had put away his scales.

Without lingering, he flickered and instantly disappeared into the depths of the Boundless Sea.

Su Chen frowned.

Those scales just now did have a powerful demonic aura.

However, this thing just ends up gathering dust in my storage bag.

After all, Su Chen didn't think he would have any dealings with the demon race.

...

The group of Nascent Soul cultivators who had been chasing after them arrived at this moment.

More than a dozen streaks of light landed around Su Chen.

The leader, however, did not rush forward.

She only glanced at Su Chen from afar a few times.

"Fellow Daoist."

"Your move just now was truly astonishing."

"If I am not mistaken..."

"That must be the power of heavenly tribulation, right?"

The man then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Su Chen frowned, naturally not giving an easy answer.

After all, one cannot easily reveal one's own methods to others.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't misunderstand."

Clearly, the other party also noticed Su Chen's concerns and quickly bowed again.

"My name is Chi Ling, and I am a captain of the Monster Extermination Guild in Tian Shu Star City."

"The group of people just now were all brothers from my guild."

"To my shame, the monster still managed to escape."

"However, I will remember your kindness in helping us share the burden."

"We have been fighting monsters on this boundless sea for many years in order to protect the peace of Tian Shu Star City."

"Fellow Daoist possesses such extraordinary abilities, I sincerely wish to make your acquaintance."

After hearing this, Su Chen almost burst out laughing.

Protecting the peace of Tian Shu Star City?

How could you possibly say something like that to a three-year-old?

What kind of place is this cultivation world?

Profit is paramount, opportunity is the most important thing, and the strong prey on the weak.

What nonsense about protecting peace! They clearly just want to take the demon's inner core and sell it for money.

only.

This Chiling is also a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, just like me.

Just now, I witnessed with my own eyes that wisp of heavenly tribulation power.

Only then did they become a little more polite and develop the idea of ​​making friends.

But then I thought about it again.

He was now completely lost in Tian Shu Star City.

They searched for Miro, but found no clue.

Chi Ling was both a local and the captain of this anti-Japanese guild.

Following him into the city might not be a bad idea.

At least, we can get a feel for how things work in this city.

"If that's the case..."

"Then I will trouble Fellow Daoist Chiling."

Su Chen cupped his hands in a gesture of respect before agreeing.

...

The sea breeze carried a salty, fishy smell.

Su Chen followed the group into Tian Shu Star City.

The city was even more prosperous than Su Chen had imagined.

The streets were lined with buildings, and all sorts of cultivators came and went.

The group seemed to have been assembled temporarily, and they all dispersed shortly after entering the city.

Chi Ling then led Su Chen into a slightly quieter alley.

We found a teahouse and asked for a private room.

The window of the private room was pushed open.

It faces one of the busiest long streets in the city.

The noise and chatter from downstairs carried all the way upstairs.

"Brother Wang."

Chi Ling personally poured Su Chen a cup of tea.

That's right, Su Chen didn't reveal his life so easily.

Naturally, he casually mentioned that his name was Wang Chen.

"Judging from your attire, Brother Wang, you must be a rogue cultivator, right?"

At that moment, Chiling asked a question with a smile.

Su Chen held his teacup and did not deny it.

He was now known to everyone as the future Grand Master of Luoyan City.

I was originally thinking of just making up a background, but now I don't even need to explain it.

"It's not easy being a lone cultivator."

"This Tian Shu Star City is full of high-level cultivators."

"Let alone the Nascent Soul stage."

"Even Nascent Soul cultivators are not uncommon in this city."

"Someone like Brother Wang, who has no sect or school, even if he has supernatural powers, is nothing more than a poor cultivator in this city."

"I think Brother Wang would be better off joining our guild."

"We stick together as a group, and on weekdays we hunt monsters and seek opportunities together."

"It's better than being all alone and being looked down upon by others."

Chiling sighed and took a sip of his drink.

"I appreciate your kind offer, but I'm used to being alone and having nothing to do."

"Moreover, I'm only here for a few days to take care of some business before leaving."

Su Chen smiled and shook his head, politely declining.

He now has a powerful cultivator like Li Ziran standing behind him.

They wouldn't even look at a small-time punitive guild.

Chi Ling saw that he politely declined, and although she looked regretful, she didn't try to persuade him further.

After all, with his cultivation level, he was not strong enough to force Su Chen to stay.
