Chapter 153: The Robe With a Four-Clawed Dragon Pattern

"Where exactly did you see him?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

"It's in a valley about 800 miles east of Stone City."

Cao Yun recalled carefully.

After that, he pondered for a moment and continued, "Also, before I saw Monk Fahui, 1 saw someone else!"

"Then do you know the identity of that person?"

Su Chen asked.

"I can't determine the exact identity of that person…"

Cao Yun tried his best to describe according to his memories.

"But that person was wearing a purple robe embroidered with a four-clawed dragon pattern. His every move emitted a graceful and noble aura. Moreover, judging by his clothes, he should be from the Dashang Empire. As for his strength… My cultivation level is too low, so I can't discern his true strength." "There's such a thing?"

Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he listened to Cao Yun's narration.

From Cao Yun's words, he detected a hint of something different.

There might be more to Dashang's pursuit of Monk Fahui!

There was nothing special about the purple robe of the person who was with Monk Fahui.

After all, many of them were dressed in light purple robes, including Su Chen himself.

However, the other party's clothes actually had an elegant four-clawed dragon pattern embroidered on it. This was different…

The dragon patterns, no matter which empire it was, were exclusive to the imperial family.

And now, a man with a four-clawed dragon pattern appeared beside Monk Fahui.

Could it be that Monk Fahui was cooperating with Dashang to put on a show?

If it was really an act…

Then the goal this time was probably targeting the Dachu Empire!

After all.

The Ninth Princess and the Eldest Prince of the Darchu Empire had arrived in Qingzhou this time.

With proper planning, it was really possible to capture the Ninth Princess and the Eldest Prince of Dachu in one fell swoop!

"When you saw them, did they not notice your existence?"

Su Chen suddenly thought of something and looked at Cao Yun with a strange expression.

"Hehe… Senior Brother, you might not know, but I've long studied the art of breath restraint in the outer sect, so they didn't notice me!"

At this point, Cao Yun's face revealed a rather confident expression.

Although his combat strength was weak, when it came to breath restraint, he felt not even Su Chen could match him.

He had obtained a terrifying breath restraint art from the strange bronze mirror.

He did not dare to guarantee that he could hide from a Saint Realm expert.

However, as long as he wanted, even a Nirvana Realm expert would not be able to discover his existence.

Su Chen was speechless.

In the past, he wasn't sure.

But at this moment, he was very certain.

This Cao Yun must have obtained some special opportunity meant for the campers!

"I plan to go to the valley you mentioned. Do you have any plans?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment and asked.

He really wanted to go to the place Cao Yun mentioned.

If Fahui was really there, he could observe whether Fahui was from the Little Thunderclap Temple.

If it really was Monk Fahui from the Little Thunderclap Temple, then he could kill him and see if he could find that sacred weapon.

If not, then it would be meaningless. He might as well go home.

"1'11 go with Senior Brother!"

Cao Yun said in a low voice.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's set off now."

Su Chen looked at Cao Yun in front of him and was stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly reacted.

He did not expect Cao Yun to agree so quickly.

Originally, he thought that Cao Yun would not go with him, so Su Chen had already prepared some persuasion.

However…

Now it seemed those preparations were useless.

Su Chen shook his head lightly and drove the Cloud Piercing Shuttle under his feet in the direction that Cao Yun had indicated.

Night fell.

Outside Stone City, in a nameless valley.

Lush trees stood on both sides of the valley, and a clear spring babbled in the center.

Under the bright moonlight, the spring water floated into the distance like a silver ribbon.

At the center of the spring, on a huge green rock, a young man in a kasaya sat cross-legged. He was enveloped in a peaceful light and appeared ethereal, like a banished immortal.

Such an elegant, transcendent temperament appearing on a monk should have seemed very strange, but at this moment, it was very natural.

"This person is definitely not Fahui of the Little Thunderclap Temple!"

Su Chen stood behind a towering tree. He frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.

He had not been in this world for half a year, but it had been a few months. Although he had never seen a monk, he had heard of them!

The aura of this person's cultivation method did not look like a Buddhist one.

There was a hint of dominance within the transcendent temperament…

It gave him the feeling that this was a lofty, superior being.

"Senior Brother, what should we do now?"

Cao Yun, who was standing behind Su Chen, asked telepathically.

"Let's go."

Su Chen said with waning interest.

He had traveled thousands of miles to this place, only to find that he had stepped into someone else's trap. This felt somewhat unlucky!

Fortunately, he had discovered it in time to withdraw.

If he had discovered it a bit later, he probably would have been schemed to death in Qingzhou!

Although he could kill the other party now, in his opinion, there was no need for that.

After all, this monk was not weak either. If he wanted to kill him, it would probably take some time.

Rather than wasting time and effort to mess up this situation, it was better to bring the news to the Eldest Prince and the others.

It wasn't too much to exchange this information for a Dao weapon, right?

In any case, this could be considered indirectly saving the lives of the princes and princesses of the Dachu Empire.

How could Dachu not express anything?

However…

Just as Su Chen turned around, the monk sitting cross-legged on the bluestone suddenly opened his eyes.

He was as elegant as jade and exuded a transcendent aura, like a living immortal.

"Greetings, Patrons!"

The monk put his palms together, his devilishly handsome face carrying a peaceful smile as he looked toward the big tree where Su Chen and Cao Yun were.

[Special physique: 998/1,000]

[Special physique: 999/1,000]

[Special physique: 1,000/1,000]

As the monk's voice rang out, the virtual interface of the system appeared in front of Su Chen.

Buzz…

A ball of extremely pure energy appeared in the depths of Su Chen's sea of Qi.

"Hmm? What a coincidence!"

Su Chen looked at the virtual interface in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

With a thought, he closed the virtual interface.

"How did you discover us?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment before walking out from behind the tree with Cao Yun.

The current monk was different from earlier.

At this moment, there was a faint trace of Buddhist nature emerging from his body.

At a glance, he did look like a monk..
