What Long Chen didn't expect was that this place was completely opposite to the Shengwang Prefecture he had imagined. The atmosphere here was desolate, spiritual energy was thin, and everywhere was a scene of ruin.
Endless palaces had collapsed and decayed, the earth was devastated and desolate; looking around, all that could be seen was decay and decay, with no sign of life.
It feels like this is just a barren land—no birds pooping, chickens laying no eggs. How could such a place possibly be the Holy King State?
However, the bustling crowd in the distance told them that this was Saint King Prefecture, and they hadn't gone in the wrong way.
"Let's go, let's see if we can find it!" Xu Jianxiong took out an old blueprint, compared it to the surrounding environment, pointed in a direction, and led everyone forward.
Long Chen discovered that not only the Moonwatching Clan were searching, but other clans were also searching for something in the endless desolate ruins, holding blueprints and bone talismans.
"Uncle Xiong, what are you looking for?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask. In fact, everyone was curious, but no one spoke.
"Find a place exclusive to our Moonwatching Clan." Xu Jianxiong smiled and said,
"In ancient times, our Moonwatching Clan was considered a mid-to-upper race among all races, and we had our own seats at the Saint King Assembly.
However, my Moonwatching Clan has declined in recent years, its position has been taken over by others, and many people have almost forgotten about us. It's time to reclaim our place." In
Xu Jianxiong's words, the word 'position' was very important. The strong members of the Moonwatching Clan were shaken. What the Moon Clan wanted to reclaim wasn't just their own position, but also the dignity they had lost.
Long Chen didn't understand. With such ruins, how could they possibly find their former seats? And he didn't know what use was finding a spot?
"Hahaha, isn't this the Moon Gazing Clan? He actually came to attend the Saint King Conference? Legend has it that you haven't attended the Saint King Assembly several times. I thought your Moonwatching Clan would disappear from the myriad races! Suddenly, a group of people approached from ahead, led by an elderly man who spoke sarcastically.
The faces of the "Xuan Turtle Clan"
and the strong members of the Moon Viewing Clan changed. This was also a race that was not on good terms with the Moon Clan, and this group was here to cause trouble.
"Beat him,"
Long Chen sent a voice transmission to Xu Changchuan.
"What?" Xu Changchuan was taken aback, not understanding what Long Chen meant.
"Forget it, I'll do it!"
"Smack!"
The powerful member of the Xuan Gui clan had just walked up to the Wangyue clan, his face full of provocation and mockery. Suddenly, a figure flickered, and Long Chen appeared before the elder. Without a word, he slapped him hard.
The Xuan Gui clan and the Wang Yue clan have a blood feud. Their hatred is etched deep into their bones and souls. Although the Wang Yue clan has guarded the forbidden zone of life for generations and never went out, encountering the Xuan Gui clan instantly ignites their bloodline hatred.
But whether it was the Xuan Gui clan or the Wang Yue clan, both were ancient powerful clans. Even though hatred was ingrained in their bones, they still wouldn't act rashly, especially at a time like this.
So, their main purpose in coming was to mock the Moon Viewing Clan and give them a hard time. They never expected that the Moon Clan would actually take action.
Long Chen slapped the old man in the face with a loud bang. The old man was slapped and sent flying, while Long Chen's palm went numb from the impact.
"Such a hard glans!"
A look of shock appeared on Long Chen's face. His slap caught him off guard, yet it had already activated his protective runes. The old man's reaction speed was astonishing.
Seeing the old man being beaten, the powerful members of the Xuan Gui clan were furious. The Celestial Venerable closest to Long Chen threw a punch down at him.
"Pfft!"
At the very moment he threw his punch, a bone spear gleamed with silver light, piercing through his armpit. Blood splattered—it was Xu Changchuan who had made his move.
Previously, when Long Chen warned him, he reacted a beat too slowly, but when Long Chen made a move, he suddenly realized what was happening.
The clan leader had said before, not afraid of them causing trouble, but of lacking the courage to do so. In reality, the clan leader might have been waiting for them to act, while the Moonwatching Clan disciples, including Xu Changchuan, were mediocre in performance.
Now, after Long Chen's warning, he seized the opportunity. The silver bone spear shot out with remarkable precision.
In fact, it wasn't that Xu Changchuan seized the opportunity well, but that Long Chen was standing from the right angle. The moment the Celestial Lord of the Xuan Gui clan made his move, the flaw was completely exposed to Xu Changchuan.
The Heavenly Venerable of the Xuan Gui clan, also a master, immediately improved and retreated, but a bloody hole was still pierced through his armpit.
"Whoosh."
Just as blood splattered, a golden rice bowl flew out, collecting every drop of the old man's scattered blood.
The golden rice bowl flew back into Guo Ran's hand. Holding the bowl, Guo Ran watched the blood turn amber-colored. The intense fluctuations made the runes on the bowl flicker continuously. Guo Ran couldn't help but shout excitedly, "
Wow, so the legend is true! Turtle blood really is a great tonic!"
"Hey, I have a good use for this. It's such a waste to nourish your body." Xia Chen snatched Guo Ran's bowl, took out a delicate bottle, and carefully collected the old man's essence blood.
The essence blood of the Black Turtle is one of the finest materials for inscriptions, and it's the essence blood of a Celestial Venerable-level Black Turtle. This is extremely rare. Xia Chen spent a long time collecting it, but only managed to gather a very small amount, and it was at the Immortal King level. He hadn't obtained a single drop of Realm King essence blood.
"Wow, with so many turtles, if we bleed each one of them, it could sell for quite a bit!" Guo Ran looked at the hundreds of thousands of Xuan Gui clan experts before him, his eyes shining with the light of money, as if he were seeing mountains of gold and silver.
"You little brat, die!"
At that moment, the elder of the Xuan Gui clan who had been slapped by Long Chen let out a furious roar. Suddenly, the world changed color, as if the entire world was being crushed by the stars, as if his body was about to be crushed, unable to move.
"Buzz!"
The elder of the Xuan Turtle clan struck at Long Chen with his palm. Long Chen immediately felt his breath strained, feeling like he was about to be crushed. This old man's strength was terrifying. In his rage, he unleashed his full power, and Long Chen was no match for him.
"Old bastard, you're the one going to die."
Facing the elder's scolding from the Xuan Gui clan, Long Chen retorted, then suddenly flickered and retreated.
The moment Long Chen retreated, the furious elder of the Xuan Turtle clan's expression changed. He had locked onto Long Chen, and logically, Long Chen shouldn't be able to move at all and could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Long Chen retreated, breaking free from his lockdown. His palm instantly lost control and struck straight at Xu Jianxiong behind Long Chen.
Xu Jianxiong snorted coldly, reached out a hand, and casually met the palm of the elder of the Xuan Turtle clan.
