Chapter 2321 2295 The Oddities of the Divine Devil
Chapter 2321: Chapter 2295: The Oddities of the Divine Devil Valley! (Third Update) Chapter 2321: Chapter 2295: The Oddities of the Divine Devil Valley! (Third Update) “That auction organized by the Divine Kingdom Tianchen Auction House?”
Song Rou couldn’t forget such significant news—it was only known to those within the top-tier forces!
Even her own father, the sect master of the first-tier Baiyuan Sect, wasn’t qualified to know!
“Right, this is an auction that none of the direct descendants from the various top-tier forces will want to miss,” Xu Sheng said. As he spoke, his eyes flickered with a cold gleam.
Originally, he intended to attend as a rising star on the Profound Ascension Rankings, but now he could only represent the Xu family. In the well-connected circles of the powerful families, he probably already became a laughingstock to everyone else!
A cold fury passed through his eyes.
However, he quickly regained his smile and continued, “If I’m not mistaken, this Ye Chen will definitely attend as well. Nobody would want to miss such a grand event, right?”
Song Rou nodded. If it were her, she would definitely want to experience an auction of this caliber!
“The night before the auction, we—the direct descendants of the top-tier forces—will host a private banquet!”
Xu Sheng’s face darkened, and his voice turned three degrees colder as he said:
“I hope Young Master Ye will participate in our banquet, after all, he is the monstrous talent who took my place on the Profound Ascension Rankings! He has the qualifications, doesn’t he?
Hehe, I, Xu Sheng, plan to properly appreciate Ye Chen’s grace!”
Upon hearing this, Song Rou couldn’t help but silently mourn for Ye Chen. Xu Sheng planned to take action against Ye Chen!
Being targeted by such elite circles, even though Ye Chen also came from the top-tier Divine Fire Academy, his fate would be quite miserable!
After all, the Divine Fire Academy was nothing in the eyes of the true powerhouses!
Xu Sheng looked at Song Rou and smiled again, saying, “And the task of inviting Young Master Ye falls to you. I don’t need to teach you how to do it, right?
Hehe, someone as beautiful and well-born as you surely doesn’t deign to give people a second glance normally, right? He definitely won’t be able to resist your seduction. Make sure to bring him to our banquet!”
Upon hearing that, Song Rou’s gaze dimmed, and she revealed a self-deprecating smile. Of course, she knew what to do, and this wasn’t the first time Xu Sheng had used her as an excuse to target someone.
Although Song Rou had long been mentally prepared, when Xu Sheng actually made such a request, the very thought of selling herself to seduce another man just to suppress and trample on someone else made her heart grow cold!
Ye Chen was going to die a miserable death!
…
Meanwhile, at the Myriad Swords Palace.
A figure, with traces of fresh blood, stumbled up to the gates of the Myriad Swords Palace.
This figure was exceptionally beautiful—it was Xia Ruoxue!
Xia Ruoxue was still terrified at the moment. Even the spells of the Ice Sword Saint King were unable to counter those people!
Without the Reincarnation Star Stone, she might have truly faced certain death!
Those people’s presence was frighteningly powerful, either at the Great Void level or even beyond!
Most importantly, why would such formidable individuals from the Divine Kingdom want to go to the Blood Spirit Clan?
She once again thought of the scenes she had witnessed in the Divine Devil Valley!
She must inform Ye Chen immediately!
The gates of the Myriad Swords Palace opened, and the Ice Sword Saint King stepped out himself to meet her!
He realized something was wrong with Xia Ruoxue as soon as his spells failed.
He could not allow Xia Ruoxue to come to harm, so he intended to go to the Blood Spirit Clan right away.
Fortunate for him, Xia Ruoxue had returned!
The Ice Sword Saint King concentrated his spiritual energy, took out an Ice Blue Elixir, and handed it to Xia Ruoxue: “Take this, then follow me.”
“Thank you, Ice Sword predecessor, weren’t you breaking through?”
The Ice Sword Saint King had his hands clasped behind his back: “It has ended. I’ve already stepped into the Great Void realm, and using some means, I’ve barely stepped into the Great Void Three-layered Heaven.”
Xia Ruoxue was slightly stunned. How long had it been—such a quick breakthrough?
But then she thought about how the Ice Sword Saint King had been trapped in the endless years for far too long, his foundation far beyond what ordinary people could contend with.
Soon, the two arrived inside the great hall.
Xia Ruoxue’s injuries had already recovered quite a bit, and her expression was solemn, her brows brimming with worry.
The Ice Sword Saint King had clearly discovered something and spoke, “What exactly happened? Has your matter been discovered?”
Xia Ruoxue nodded: “Ice Sword predecessor, the relationship between the Blood Spirit Clan and the Divine Kingdom is not simple. I was discovered by the Divine Kingdom the moment I arrived.”
“Moreover, I’ve discovered that deep within the Divine Devil Valley, there’s not just one Divine Kingdom powerhouse, but at least thirty!”
The Ice Sword Saint King’s eyebrows knitted slightly; the Divine Devil Valley was where existences from the Kunlun Mountains were imprisoned.
With the gap between the Kunlun Mountains and the Divine Kingdom being great, why would the Divine Kingdom employ so many powerhouses as guards?
Could it be they fear Ye Chen storming in?
If that were true, they think too highly of Ye Chen!
The Ice Sword Saint King thought of something and asked, “Did you see dozens of powerhouses trapped?”
This was his most pressing concern!
Previously, he and Ye Chen had learned that powerhouses from the Samsara Graveyard originating from the Kunlun Mountains were trapped in the Divine Devil Valley.
But with the recent close relationship between the Divine Kingdom and the Blood Spirit Clan, whether they were still in the Divine Devil Valley was unknown.
Therefore, the true reality confirmed by Xia Ruoxue’s trip was crucial!
Upon hearing this, Xia Ruoxue’s eyes flashed with a hint of terror. After much hesitation, she said, “Deep within the Divine Devil Valley, I saw countless chains.”
“What’s bizarre is that the chains are indeed trapping something, but it doesn’t seem to be human…”
“What!” The Ice Sword Saint King was startled, “What is it then?”
Xia Ruoxue continued, “Indistinctly, they appear to be stone statues.”
“Dozens of stone statues.”
“The stone statues were lifelike, each with a unique expression.”
“And they were arranged somewhat like an array formation, maintained by chains. Each chain was coated with powerful runes…”
“Most importantly! All these chains were connected to a gigantic divine statue.”
The Ice Sword Saint King had a vague guess, and he continued, “What is that divine statue?”
Xia Ruoxue hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “The divine statue seems unclearly carved, emanating strong demonic qi, like a fiendgod, its mere gaze having a deterring power, more terrifying than a living person.”
“The eeriest part is the divine statue’s brow—it’s actually carved with a character of the Divine Kingdom. I’ve seen several Ancient Books in the Spirit Immortal Imperial Palace, and that character seems to be ‘Chen!'”
“I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I feel the divine statue is Ye Chen.”
“Those forbidden formations in the Divine Devil Valley seem to be controlling something…”
The Ice Sword Saint King fell silent; he barely grasped something but dared not be certain.
After all, during the ten thousand years he was trapped, he had come into contact with too few things.
The only one who might possibly be sure of what the people of the Divine Kingdom are doing, could perhaps only be the Eternal Sacred King.
But where exactly is the Eternal Sacred King now?
