Chapter 494: Chapter 491: Reuniting with Old Friends_1
Such a powerful pressure made Yang Chen sweat, but he still clenched his teeth and said calmly, without revealing any flaws to the Black Scorpion Envoy, “Senior Black Scorpion, you should think about it. All three of your Black Dragon Sect’s geniuses were so strong. How could I, Yang Chen, possibly be a match for them?”
As he spoke, his expression remained unchanged and his demeanor calm.
Yang Chen knew that he had to behave like this at this moment. If he showed even the slightest weakness, he believed that the Black Scorpion Envoy would not hesitate to kill him.
This time the situation was different from before.
Yuanshan Sect might not be able to protect him!
Now even a Black Scorpion Envoy made him feel the amazing strength of the super forces. He was on guard at all times, and if the Black Scorpion Envoy really wanted to do something without asking questions, his only choice would be to reveal the Tiandu Divine Country and save his life.
Although he had left the Tiandu Divine Country, this location was not far from where he had just left it. He could still mobilize the prohibiting power of Tiandu Divine Country. Though this power would be greatly reduced, it should still be enough to eliminate an early stage Earth Martial Realm master.
However, doing so might expose his identity as the controller of the Tiandu Divine Country. By then, even if he truly killed the Black Scorpion Envoy, he would be bound for a fate of being hunted down and coveted by countless people.
But there was no other way now.
Without revealing the Tiandu Divine Country, he had no power to resist the Black Scorpion Envoy, who could kill him easily.
Yang Chen’s heart was filled with apprehension as he lowered his head and appeared sincere.
The powerful pressure from the Black Scorpion Envoy loomed over not only Yang Chen, but also the entire Yuanshan Sect.
At this moment, his gaze was deep, staring intently at Yang Chen for a long time before finally saying, “It seems you’re not lying!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and the entire Yuanshan Sect was relieved as well.
But just as they were relaxing, the Black Scorpion Envoy suddenly said emotionlessly, “However, it’s a pity, Yang Chen. There were only five people on the second floor at the time. Since our Black Dragon Sect’s geniuses died unclearly, the remaining two naturally have no value in being alive. What are you still living for? So, Yang Chen, you can go and accompany the three of them in death.”
His meaning was simple: Since our Black Dragon Sect’s geniuses died, you naturally don’t need to live either.
This caused Yang Chen’s nerves to tense and the many Yuanshan Sect disciples to be completely shocked.
From Sun Star City, Yuan San laughed heartily, “Haha, what a tragedy for Yang Chen. When the Black Dragon Sect takes action, what can a mere Yuanshan Sect do? Even if Beishan Main City personally intervened, they couldn’t protect Yang Chen. He’s definitely dead this time. Offending our Sun Star City, hmph…”
He was now proud of his decisions and actions.
With just a few words, he completely shifted the disaster onto Yang Chen, causing him to be targeted by the Black Scorpion Envoy for no reason.
“Alright, Yang Chen, time to die.” The Black Scorpion Envoy waved his hand, and a powerful True Qi storm surged towards Yang Chen.
This sudden attack alarmed Yang Chen. He hadn’t expected the Black Scorpion Envoy to make a move without any evidence. Annoyed, Yang Chen had no choice but to reach out into the void and try to control the Tiandu Divine Country’s prohibition to kill the Black Scorpion Envoy and save himself.
But just then, a powerful force outside the Black Scorpion Envoy suddenly intervened. The hurricane created by this force was even stronger than the Black Scorpion Envoy’s, and in an instant, it crushed the Black Scorpion Envoy’s attack to pieces.
This surprising turn of events halted Yang Chen’s plan to use the prohibition power to save himself. He stared blankly around him, unsure of what had just happened.
But there was no doubt that he was saved. Someone had stepped in at the critical moment, shattering the Black Scorpion Envoy’s attack and saving him.
“Who is it?” Yang Chen scanned the area, unable to figure out who had saved him.
At least the half move just now represented that the person’s Martial Arts Cultivation was far superior to that of the Black Scorpion Envoy.
For a while, the entire scene was silent.
Then, after a brief period of stillness, the crowd became incredibly agitated.
“What just happened?”
“What happened just now?”
People had varying thoughts about the Black Scorpion Envoy wanting to kill Yang Chen.
Some were regretful, while others were secretly delighted. For Canghai Sect and Sun Star Main City, they were the happiest. However,when they saw that Yang Chen had not died and the Black Scorpion Envoy’s move had been intercepted, they couldn’t help but be surprised. Everyone was puzzled about what had just happened.
“It seems someone saved Yang Chen.”
“You must be joking. With the Black Scorpion Envoy’s Martial Arts Cultivation, it’s unknown whether there’s anyone in North Mountain County who can match him. Who could so easily dissolve the Black Scorpion Envoy’s attack?”
At this point, Mù Báishēng and several Supreme Elders were also shocked and worried as they stepped forward.
It was only now that they realized the Black Scorpion Envoy had not taken their Yuanshan Sect seriously at all and had directly attacked Yang Chen.
Mù Báishēng gritted his teeth and said, “Black Scorpion Envoy, what do you mean by this?”
“Wood Master, this is not your place to speak.” The Black Scorpion Envoy coldly glanced at Mù Báishēng before sweeping his gaze around the surroundings.
His heart was the most shocked, as the one who had stopped his move just now was incredibly powerful. The other spectators couldn’t tell, but he knew. He was nothing in front of that person. He had thought that he could swagger around in North Mountain County, but it seemed that an even more ruthless character had appeared.
“Your Excellency, who are you? Since you want to protect this kid named Yang, why not show yourself? With your strength, our Black Dragon Sect will have to give you some face. Acting like this only makes people think you’re a coward.” The Black Scorpion Envoy said with his hands behind his back.
As the envoy’s voice died down, there was a silence that lasted for about three or five breaths.
Then, a light and indifferent voice appeared, “Heh, Black Scorpion Envoy, you’re quite bold. So you say that there were five people on the second floor of the Tiandu Palace and since the Black Dragon Sect’s geniuses died, everyone else should accompany them. What, do you want my disciple Jiang Caiying to also bury your disciples? Can you repeat what you just said?”
The voice was cold but full of an unquestionable tone.
As the words ended, two slender figures suddenly appeared. The two women appeared to be close in age, but upon closer inspection, their dispositions markedly different.
Upon seeing the woman, Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
