Chapter 2757
Xiao Chen was also surprised. He had not expected so many Celestial Emperor Realm experts to appear at once.
Eleven of them!
With such a terrifying combat power, they could even annihilate some ordinary sects and forces.
Even a sect like the Southern Spirit Celestial Sect would be in danger of being annihilated under the siege of eleven Celestial Emperor Realm experts.
“Lord Chen Hao and Lord Chen Jian really put in a lot of effort to save me!” Xiao Chen was very touched.
No matter what the outcome was today, they had invited eleven Celestial Emperor Realm experts to save him. This was enough to be remembered in his heart.
“For such a small thing, they actually put in so much effort!” Zhou Chengan’s expression was very ugly.
He was surrounded by five Celestial Emperor Realm experts. It could be said that if they wanted to kill him, it was possible.
However, in the next instant, the remaining Celestial Emperor Realm experts from the Zhou Family appeared at the same time.
Even the current Family Leader of the Zhou Family, Zhou Qiwen, appeared in person.
Then, they turned around and surrounded the five Celestial Emperors from before.
The situation suddenly became tense.
However, neither side made the first move. Everyone knew very well that at their level of cultivation, once they made a move, the sky would fall and the earth would crack.
“Sir, are you sure you want to fight to the death with the Zhou Family today?” Zhou Qiwen looked at the Celestial Emperor Realm expert beside Xiao Chen and asked coldly.
“Fight to the death?
The Zhou Family is not worthy of that!
Today, we are here to save someone. As long as Zhou Hongyi takes away the Soul Fire, we will leave with our people immediately! “The Celestial Emperor Realm expert said calmly.
Then, he glanced at Zhou Qiwen and said coldly, “Of course, if you insist, the Zhou Family will be bathed in blood today!”
Zhou Qiwen did not answer immediately. He was silent for a moment before saying, “If we let you come and go as you please, how will the Zhou Family have a foothold in the future?”
For the Zhou Family, the current situation was not just a matter of whether to let Xiao Chen go. It had escalated to a matter of the Zhou Family’s reputation.
If they really let him go, the Zhou Family would definitely lose face.
This was something that Zhou Qiwen was absolutely unwilling to accept.
“Oh?
Zhou Qiwen, as the current Patriarch of the Zhou Family, I advise you to look at the bigger picture and think about it calmly!
Are you going to fight to the death with us for that so-called face?
You’d better think this through. If you really do that, the Zhou Clan won’t just lose some face. It’s very likely that they’ll be annihilated! “The Celestial Emperor beside Xiao Chen said indifferently.
“Hmph, annihilation?
Do you really think that just the eleven of you have the qualifications to annihilate my Zhou Clan?
Yes, a total of 11 Immortal Emperors are indeed very powerful, but my Zhou Clan is not a pushover!
Don’t forget, you’re in my Zhou Family’s territory now. If we really fight to the death, who knows who will be the one to be annihilated in the end! “Zhou Qiwen snorted angrily.
“You can try!” However, the Celestial Emperor powerhouse beside Xiao Chen was still very calm.
Zhou Qiwen didn’t say anything else, but he didn’t make a move either.
In his opinion, it wasn’t impossible to kill all 11 Celestial Emperor powerhouses.
However, as Zhou Chengan had thought before, the other party could easily send out so many Celestial Emperor powerhouses, so their background must be very powerful.
If he really killed all these people today, it was very likely that it would cause more trouble in the future. This was the reason why Zhou Qiwen didn’t dare to make a move immediately.
It was naturally important to protect the Zhou Clan’s face, but as the head of the Zhou Clan, he naturally had to think more comprehensively. He couldn’t just rely on a moment of impulsiveness to bring a greater disaster to the Zhou Clan.
Seeing that Zhou Qiwen was deep in thought, the Celestial Emperor powerhouse beside Xiao Chen didn’t say anything and just waited quietly.
Xiao Chen was a little puzzled. Right now, the person beside him could take him away directly. Why did he ask Zhou Hongyi to take back the Soul Fire?
Although the Soul Fire had been tormenting him and burning his soul, it should be fine as long as he got rid of the Soul Fire.
He looked at the Celestial Emperor powerhouse with doubt in his eyes. However, he didn’t dare to ask anything.
It was already very good that the other party was willing to take such a huge risk to save him. Since the other party said this, there must be a reason.
However, the Celestial Emperor powerhouse seemed to have sensed the doubt in Xiao Chen’s eyes. He turned his head and said slowly, “Little brother, things aren’t as simple as you think. The Soul Fire that that old thing, Zhou Hongyi, left in your sea of consciousness contains a Soul Seed. The best way is to get him to take it back himself. This way, there won’t be any harm to you. Although you can let other Celestial Emperor powerhouses slowly remove it, forcibly removing it will cause great harm to your soul. Some of these damages are irreversible. Once it’s left behind, it’s basically very hard to recover. If your soul is injured like this, it will be very difficult for you to improve your cultivation in the future and your future will be bleak. If it’s serious, it might even harm your foundation and you won’t be able to improve anymore!”
“This …” Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. “Zhou Hongyi actually planted a Soul Seed in me?”
The so-called Soul Seed was a very perverted torture method. Although it was invisible and painless, it could make the soul of the person planted with the Soul Seed invisibly wear away. In the long run, the soul would be slowly worn away. In the end, the person would become a puppet without a soul.
This method seemed a little useless, but in fact, it was the most perverted method. Unless there was a deep hatred, no one would do this. They would slowly turn the other party into a puppet for them to torture and play with at will!
However, this method also required a certain price to be paid.
Xiao Chen never expected that Zhou Hongyi would actually plant a Soul Seed in him.
He didn’t notice it at all.
“That old thing is a Celestial Emperor powerhouse. It’s normal that you didn’t notice it when he secretly planted a Soul Seed in you!” The Celestial Emperor powerhouse said.
Xiao Chen’s expression instantly turned ugly.
No wonder this Celestial Emperor powerhouse said those words just now, even though he was clearly beside him and could take him away at any time.
And just like what this person said earlier, Zhou Hongyi had planted a soul seed in him. If it wasn’t for Zhou Hongyi directly removing it, even if an even stronger Immortal Emperor helped him to forcefully remove the soul seed, it would still be hard for him to escape misfortune.
“This damned old pervert!” Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. He vaguely understood why Zhou Hongyi had planted a Soul Seed in him.
