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

The last to arrive was the young man in white robes with a folding fan.

Qin Wugou waved her fan, a lukewarm smile on her face, looking timid and submissive.

After all, apart from him and Chi Ling, there was no other Nascent Soul cultivator in this room.

Therefore, it's normal for these two to keep a low profile.

"Isn't this the madman who caused chaos in Xingluo and boasted that he would raze Xingcheng to the ground?"

"What, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages dares to come and cause trouble in this place?"

Chi Lianjun circled around, glanced at Su Chen not far away, and sneered.

Su Chen frowned; this person seemed to be provoking him.

Moreover, he had exposed his identity that day, and now it was a foregone conclusion that he was the Grand Elder of Luoyan City.

Almost all cultivators across the Xuanhuang Continent know this.

In other words, this person in front of me knew perfectly well that I was one of Li Ziran's people, yet still dared to provoke me.

This puzzled Su Chen a little.

Could it be that they have some grudge against Luoyan City?

Whether you come or not seems to be none of your business.

Su Chen's words were neither soft nor hard, but they didn't give the other party any face at all.

Although Su Chen has only just entered the Nascent Soul stage, his magical treasures and supernatural abilities are no less powerful than any late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

It's unclear whether Chi Lianjun didn't understand or simply didn't take it to heart.

She then glanced at Yao Ji beside Su Chen.

"Yo ho!"

"And he's got such a beauty by his side."

"Look how fresh and tender it is, it's almost dripping with moisture."

The guy clicked his tongue twice, and his laughter became even more outrageous.

"Hey girl, don't stay silent."

"How about you join me in dual cultivation this time?"

"Look at those fair legs, those little feet."

"Grandpa likes it very much."

"How about it? Grandpa has turned you into a sex slave. It's a blessing you've earned in eight lifetimes."

"Come here and serve Grandpa!"

The words had barely left his mouth...

An overwhelming pressure, typical of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, descended without warning.

Wherever that oppressive aura passed, even the turbulent void beneath their feet was momentarily frozen in place.

Late stage of Nascent Soul!

This was not enough to intimidate Lord Chi Lian.

But this pressure is incomparable to that of ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

It even faintly carried a trace of the power of law.

This immediately shut up the arrogant Chi Lianjun.

"Open your dog eyes."

"I am a disciple of the Stars and the Luos."

"You dare to fantasize about such things?"

Yao Ji's eyes, which were usually calm and still, were now so cold they could kill.

Starry Sky Offerings!

Chi Lianjun was completely dumbfounded on the spot.

For cultivators from insignificant sects like Xingluo, it was an existence they wouldn't even dare to dream of.

"I...I had no intention of offending you!"

Chi Lianjun hurriedly cupped his hands, bowing lower than anyone else.

In truth, it can't be blamed on him, since Yao Ji had been hiding her cultivation level since she first arrived.

Perhaps he didn't want to reveal his identity too early, which Su Chen could understand.

After all, when it comes to concealing one's true abilities, who can compare to Su Chen?

This guy is now kicking himself.

Yao Ji originally thought that once she entered this ruin, she should hide her shortcomings and avoid trouble.

Who would have thought that I would run into such an ignorant person right away?

Fine, I'll just stop acting!

However, seeing the woman utter such foul language, he was truly enraged.

It looks like they're really about to make a move at any moment.

Right now...

"Allow me to say something..."

"Each of you bring out your star fragments."

"Please spare this retainer of Xingluo this time."

"Now that we've all come to this place, we're all in the same boat from now on."

A voice came from nearby, and the group turned around to see Granny Bone speaking.

Seeing that Yao Ji didn't say anything more, which was considered tacit approval, Chi Lianjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Su Chen found it interesting, a case of concealing one's true abilities.

Like Su Chen, hiding one's true strength and making others underestimate one's abilities can be considered concealing one's true abilities.

But this Crimson Lord was sharp and aggressive, provoking others everywhere, looking like he was courting death.

Isn't that also a way of concealing one's shortcomings?

...

The six star fragments were thrown into the rift in the void by the group.

This one belonging to Su Chen is the token corresponding to the half of the guiding map in Chi Ling's hand.

The catalyst entered the void and transformed into a stream of light.

The power of the six stars was poured out simultaneously.

"Click."

The crack, which had been barely visible, was torn open with a snap.

A crack appeared in the void, as if it had been torn apart by a pair of demonic claws.

It looked like it was about to close again.

The group exchanged glances, said nothing more, and with a flicker of their bodies, disappeared into the rift.

The group looked at the ground.

An endless expanse of gray Gobi Desert stretches to the horizon.

Su Chen raised his head.

The sky above my head was shattered.

Several huge fragments of meteorite hung in mid-air.

Beneath our feet lay a series of enormous meteorite craters.

As soon as Su Chen landed, he sensed something was wrong.

The protective spiritual energy surrounding his body was being slowly drawn out by this world.

"Be vigilant."

"This desolate wasteland of star remains is a place where heaven and earth themselves are meant to absorb human spiritual energy."

"The protective aura must not be broken."

The old woman with the bone cane spoke first.

Upon hearing this, everyone activated their spiritual power, using spiritual light to protect themselves.

But Su Chen was very curious; each of these people was more suspicious than the last.

This old woman must be visiting here for the first time.

Why do I feel so familiar with this place?

Chi Ling, following beside Su Chen, had a meager Nascent Soul cultivation level that was simply insufficient to support him.

I hadn't walked far when I was covered in sweat.

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Chen enveloped the Crimson Ridge in a layer of spiritual light.

"Thank you, Brother Chen..."

Chi Ling was taken aback, then glanced at Su Chen gratefully, but didn't dare to say anything more.

At this moment, Chiling had to admit that he was starting to regret his actions.

It wasn't until they entered this world that they realized that coming here with only a Nascent Soul cultivation level was practically suicide.

Although the Nascent Soul stage cultivators seemed completely unaffected.

But even if he were to leave Su Chen's protection, he would probably soon be lost in this star-like space.

We arrived at the edge of an exceptionally large meteorite crater.

Interestingly, on one of the pit walls, there were clusters of grayish-white stalagmites.

Within the crevices of the stalagmite, there were clusters of invisible, intangible, and hazy gray spirits.

Colorless and formless, it invaded people's souls and pounced on the group.

"Star-Skeleton Wraith".

"This thing is weird."

"It does not attack the physical body, but only the soul."

It was Granny Bone, that old woman, who said something again.

This made Su Chen even more suspicious that the old woman had been here more than once.

Moreover, I have a vague feeling that I've fallen into a trap.

It's not the time to think about these things now. I estimate that when the crucial moment arrives, the truth will come out.

With Yao Ji around, Su Chen felt much more at ease.

In terms of cultivation level, Yao Ji and herself together were enough to wipe out the other cultivators.

Qin Wugou's soul was not as stable as the others'.

He staggered and nearly fell.

The vengeful spirit seemed to have sensed something and surged towards him.

Qin Wugou suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet disappear.

At the bottom of the pit, a gray vortex of surging spiritual energy had appeared out of nowhere.

...
