Not far away, the surrounding crowd could no longer stand to watch.
The crowd of onlookers included some people who had rolled down from the restaurant. However, they were different from the others.
Their eyes were filled with schadenfreude.
Their thoughts were simple.
"We've already rolled down, yet you want to find another way? Now you're getting your retribution! You can't even keep your little life, right?"
"Die!"
The man in the long robe adorned with sun and moon motifs walked up to Cao Yun and flicked his left hand.
Crash!
A divine light flashed.
Immediately after, a silvery-white sword appeared in his hand.
The long sword brought with it a bone-piercing chill as it slashed down toward Cao Yun's head.
However, at this critical moment.
Boom!
The sky suddenly twisted.
A light purple warship broke through the void and shot over from the distant horizon.
In an instant, it appeared in the sky above Stone City.
This light purple warship was three hundred feet long. It passed through the sky above Stone City, casting a large shadow.
A flag at the bow of the ship was flapping loudly.
Below the flag, a young man in purple robes stood with his hands behind his back.
This person had an imposing heroic bearing. His pitch-black eyes flickered with some brightness, and his aura was boundless.
He was just casually standing there, yet he gave off a feeling of an emperor inspecting his realm.
No one dared to compete with him!
Even the Earl of Dashang couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
He knew this was the arrival of the prodigy from the Dachu Empire!
At this critical moment, if he made a move, he was afraid that he would attract the other party's attention.
As long as he waited for the other party to leave, he could still control these people at will.
"This is… Senior Brother Su Chen?"
Looking at the purple figure in the sky, Cao Yun's eyes suddenly widened, shock showing on his face.
He would never forget Senior Brother Su Chen's figure.
He would never forget Su Chen's imposing figure during the trial and the core disciple assessment!
Su Chen's figure had been deeply engraved in his mind, impossible to erase.
He had come to Qingzhou to find Senior Brother Su Chen to tell him that he was about to break through to the God Altar Realm!
Before today, he had imagined countless times that he would reunite with Senior Brother Su Chen.
However, what he never expected was…
The two of them had actually reunited in such a way.
Cao Yun opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end.
He was worried that his voice would attract Senior Brother Su Chen's attention.
Senior Brother Su Chen was indeed powerful!
However, if he caused Senior Brother Su Chen to go against Dashang because of him, he would never forgive himself!
"It's him!"
Below, in the crowd, someone saw the purple figure on the warship, and his expression changed. He looked at Su Chen in fear and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect…he actually came too!"
This was a Qi Sea Realm cultivator from the Dachu Empire.
Because his sect was close to Qingzhou, he had secretly come here alone to fish in troubled waters and see if he could obtain any great opportunities.
However, he never expected this.
He had actually encountered the invincible existence who was unstoppable in the Hundred Demon Battlefield, slaying gods and demons alike!
"Fellow Daoist, do you know him?"
A Qingzhou native rogue cultivator asked curiously.
"Yes. That's a super demon from Dachu's Great Mystery Sect! A few months ago, he single-handedly defeated dozens of elites in the Hundred Demon Battlefield!"
The Qi Sea Realm cultivator said in a serious tone.
As soon as he said this, many people present immediately reacted.
"Fellow Daoist, are you talking about Su Chen?"
Not many people had seen Su Chen with their own eyes.
However, they had heard of Su Chen's name.
After all, the opening of the Hundred Demon Battlefield could be considered a major event in the territory of the Dachu Empire!
At that time, many people were alarmed.
Now, it had only been a few months since the Hundred Demon Battlefield had opened, and the events had spread to Qingzhou.
[Special physique: 799/1,000]
[Special physique: 800/1,000]
In the sky, Su Chen, who was watching the changes on the virtual interface, waved his hand and closed it.
Immediately, he spread out his divine sense and swept over Stone City below.
It was not a big city.
With the range of his divine sense, it was enough to cover the whole place.
"Looks like the rumors outside are indeed just rumors… Fahui of the Little Thunderclap Temple isn't hiding here."
Su Chen shook his head in disappointment and murmured softly.
Just as he was about to leave Stone City on the Cloud Piercing Shuttle.
However, the moment he turned around, from the corner of his eye, he saw an extremely disheveled figure. A strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
"Cao Yun?"
Su Chen was quite familiar with Cao Yun.
This person had been his biggest supporter when he was in the outer sect!
He had wanted to wait until the end of the Qingzhou trip before returning to guide Cao Yun so that Cao Yun could be promoted to an inner sect disciple as soon as possible.
However, he didn't expect that in just a few months since they last met, Cao Yun was already at the ninth level of the Qi Sea Realm!
Moreover…
Looking at his aura, it probably wouldn't be long before he could break through to the God Altar Realm!
This was a little unbelievable!
One had to know that even the shockingly talented Mu Qingxue had only broken through to the God Altar Realm not long ago.
He did not expect Cao Yun to catch up from behind.
"Could it be that he also has a great opportunity?"
A thought suddenly surfaced in Su Chen's mind.
Other than that, Su Chen could not think of how Cao Yun's strength could have increased so quickly.
"If he also has a great opportunity, then today's matter is probably a calamity destined for him. Perhaps he will encounter some great opportunity after escaping, and his strength will increase greatly…"
Su Chen thought to himself.
After pondering for a moment, Su Chen put away the Cloud Piercing Shuttle and slowly descended from the sky.
Cao Yun was the first believer that Su Chen developed. He had bragged a lot about Su Chen's path of strength improvement.
He definitely could not leave him in dire straits today!
"That Su Chen didn't leave?"
"He's here, he's here…"
When everyone saw this scene, they were instantly shocked.
At this moment, the situation in Stone City was clear at a glance. As long as one wasn't blind, they could see something was amiss here.
In everyone's eyes, the wisest choice now was to ignore the matter and stay out of it.
After all, today's matter involved the Dashang Empire!
Even if one was the supreme prodigy of a sect, one had to consider what the outcome would be going against an entire empire before sticking their neck out!
When a Dachu rogue cultivator saw this scene, excitement flashed in his eyes. He said animatedly, "Is Su Chen going to interfere in this matter? With his unrivaled strength, that Dashang Earl is going to be in big trouble!"
Today, many cultivators of the Dachu Empire were being bullied by the Earl of the Dashang Empire.
They hoped that there would be a prodigy of the same level from the Dachu Empire to stand out.
Even if he could not defeat the other party, he could at least save some face for the Dachu Empire.
