Chapter 97
Xiao Chen’s unintentional actions once again caused an uproar in the city, alerting all the big and small clans in the city. Countless scouts emerged one after another, trying to find out what had happened to make Xiao Chen so angry that he wanted to kill him all over the city.
However, after investigating for one hour, they still couldn’t find anything. Hence, countless scouts joined the running team.
After spending close to four hours, Xiao Chen ran through all the streets and alleys of the Sha Thearch City. He released his powerful divine senses and tried to sense Dongfang Qingwu’s aura presence and traces. Ultimately, he couldn’t find anything.
When he reached the city gates, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. His heart was restless. Of course, he knew that there was a swarm of flies following behind him.
Before this, he didn’t have the time to care. Now that he stopped, he was feeling restless and needed to find a place to vent. Hence …
“Who dares to follow me?
I will kill their entire families!
Get lost! ”
Xiao Chen suddenly turned around with a gloomy expression. His eyes were ferocious as he roared out like a killing god with awe-inspiring killing aura!
“Eh …” All the martial artists at the front were stunned by Xiao Chen’s lion roar. They stopped abruptly, but the martial artists at the back didn’t expect that the ones in front would suddenly stop. Hence, a tragedy occurred. There was a collision. Furthermore, because the speed was very fast, the consequences were rather severe.
“Ah!” “Aiyo!” “Who stepped on me!” “Bastard!”
Moments later, a series of miserable cries and curses were heard at the city gates. There were serious tragedies of people bumping into each other, stepping on each other, and pressing on each other.
Xiao Chen scanned the chaos in front of him indifferently and quickly rushed out of the city. If he couldn’t find Dongfang Qingwu in the city, he could only hope that Sha Clan’s guards would be able to find Dongfang Qingwu outside the city. If he couldn’t find her, Xiao Chen would feel guilty. After all, Dongfang Qingwu’s departure was directly related to him.
After running out of the city gate, Xiao Chen immediately saw Army Kill Ripper leading a dozen guards towards the Sha Di City. However, Dongfang Qing Wu was nowhere to be seen. Xiao Chen’s mood immediately turned gloomy. He stood still and quietly waited for Army Kill Ripper to report the situation.
Military Kill Ripper naturally saw Xiao Chen outside the city gates. He sped up and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Young Master Xiao Chen. This subordinate was incompetent and couldn’t find Miss Dongfang.”
“I understand.”
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said indifferently. His heart was filled with helplessness. Since Dongfang Qingwu chose to leave without saying goodbye, she wouldn’t let him find her so easily. If he couldn’t find her this time, it would be hard to find her again.
When Sha Po saw the gloomy expression on Xiao Chen’s face, he silently blamed himself. He didn’t instruct the guards to stop Dongfang Qingwu from leaving. Now, it was too late for regrets. He muttered to himself and spoke to Xiao Chen in an incomparably stern tone, “Young Master Xiao Chen, this subordinate will immediately order the soldiers of the Sha Di City to search for Miss Dongfang within a hundred-mile radius of the Sha Di City. Once she is found, bring her back immediately. What do you think?”
Xiao Chen, who originally didn’t have a good expression, heard Military Kill Ripper’s suggestion. His eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke with a little urgency, “That would be great. Senior Sha, please!
Hurry up and go! ”
“Yes!
Young Master Xiao Chen! ”
Military Kill Ripper replied respectfully. He didn’t waste any more time. He waved his hand and led the dozen guards into the Sha Di City.
He was the commander of the five thousand soldiers of the Sha Di City. He had the authority to mobilize the soldiers to do some searching work. As for attacking, he needed the approval of his superior, Sha Po Lang.
Xiao Chen saw that Military Kill Ripper had gone to make the arrangements. He was slightly relieved, but he was still worried. If something happened to Dongfang Qingwu because of his negligence, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Although he didn’t understand the concept of love, Dongfang Qingwu had given him a strange psychological and physical stimulation. It was an unforgettable experience. He subconsciously considered Dongfang Qingwu as a friend.
He didn’t want anything to happen to Dongfang Qingwu. He secretly swore that if anyone dared to touch a single hair on Dongfang Qingwu’s head, he would definitely destroy that person’s entire family!
“Sigh, I’ll go back and wait for news.”
Xiao Chen sighed helplessly and slowly walked into the Sha Di City. He directly ignored the chaos that had arisen because of him. He walked straight back to the Sha Clan’s Soaring Dragon Pavilion. He casually tossed the wooden sword aside and lay on his bed. He stared at the ceiling in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen’s consciousness started to blur. His grandfather’s benevolent smile appeared in front of his eyes. After a while, the figure of a cold and elegant beauty appeared in front of him. It was actually Su Qingyi!
“Eh?
Grandfather? Su Qingyi? ”
Xiao Chen suddenly woke up. A trace of astonishment and confusion appeared in the depths of his clear eyes. It was natural to think of his grandfather, but the image of Su Qingyi had actually appeared in the depths of his consciousness. This made him feel incredulous.
After thinking for a while, he couldn’t think of a reason. Xiao Chen shook his head to get rid of the chaotic thoughts in his mind. He regained his composure and stood up from his bed. He conveniently grabbed the wooden sword and prepared to go to the courtyard to practice. His gaze inadvertently swept across a small wooden table in the corner. Immediately, his gaze paused.
On the table was a jet-black, strangely shaped short sword. There was also a Desolate Beast Core that was the size of a longan and as red as blood.
“Grade Five Desolate Sword?
Grade Six Fire Lion Core?
Military Kill Ripper still didn’t accept these two items and insisted on giving them to me. Alright, I’ll accept them. After all, the Grade Six Fire Lion Core is still useful to me. I’ll give it to him when I get something good next time. ”
Xiao Chen immediately recognized the two items on the table. They were the items that he had taken from Ji Haoyue and Situ Nan in front of the Liu family’s auction house. Xiao Chen originally wanted to give them to Military Kill Ripper. He didn’t expect that Military Kill Ripper would keep them for a period of time and they would eventually end up in his hands.
Xiao Chen wasn’t a pretentious person. If others didn’t want them, he would naturally accept them. He didn’t care about the Grade Five Desolate Sword but the Grade Six Desolate Beast Core was good stuff. This was because it contained a large amount of Desolate Energy. He could use it to break through to the next realm. In the past, Xiao Chen had directly swallowed the Desolate Beast Core, and he had swallowed quite a lot.
However, Xiao Chen didn’t randomly swallow the Desolate Beast Core. The first one he swallowed was a Grade One Desolate Beast Core with the mildest attributes. After getting used to it, he slowly increased the intensity and level of the Desolate Beast Core.
Even so, Xiao Chen still suffered a lot. Every time he swallowed the Desolate Beast Core, he would suffer some internal injuries. Fortunately, Xiao Chen’s grandfather, Xiao Batian, knew how to pick some herbs that could neutralize the violent nature of the Desolate Beast Core. That was how Xiao Chen managed to pull through.
Relying on the Desolate Beast Core to increase his cultivation level and break through to the next realm was a ruthless idea that Xiao Chen’s grandfather, Xiao Batian, came up with. This was something that couldn’t be helped. Xiao Chen and his grandfather, Xiao Batian, had been living in the Great Wilderness of Terminus. Even if they obtained the Desolate Beast Core, they couldn’t find an alchemy master to help them refine the Desolate Elixir. In order to cultivate faster, they could only try this dangerous and extreme method.
Low-grade Desolate Beast Cores were still alright, but the higher the grade of the Desolate Beast Core, the more violent and violent it was.
There was once when Xiao Chen swallowed and refined a Fourth Grade Fire Armored Lizard Core, which nearly cost him his life. Fortunately, Xiao Batian was by Xiao Chen’s side and discovered that Xiao Chen was in a dangerous situation. He immediately injected a large amount of Power of Desolation into Xiao Chen’s body, helping Xiao Chen to suppress and expel the violent energy from the Desolate Beast Core.
Xiao Chen had a strong will. He clenched his teeth and withstood the violent nature of countless Desolate Beast Cores. Coupled with his outstanding cultivation talent, he was able to reach the third stage of the White Tiger Realm at the age of seventeen, becoming a genius in the eyes of everyone.
Other than a few exceptions, there were no shortcuts to becoming strong. Genius experts weren’t born naturally. Even if one had outstanding cultivation talent, they would still need to work hard to become a genius expert. Otherwise, geniuses would end up as trash.
Behind a genius expert was the hard work, sweat, and perseverance that was ten times or even ten times that of ordinary people. Xiao Chen was such a genius expert. Furthermore, his path to becoming an expert had just begun. There was still a long way to go …
