Jiang Chen didnât reply, but he couldnât help but recall his past lifeâs last day. The Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch had entrusted his beloved disciple to him. At that time, the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch had worn an odd expression. However, Jiang Chen didnât think too much about such a matter because he was overjoyed.
Now that he thought back about it on this day, he found many clues. Moreover, he became slightly scared when he noticed that some pieces of his memory were fuzzy, and he couldnât even discern clearly whether they were real or just a part of a dream. If it was someone else in Jiang Chenâs position, they might have found it normal. But Jiang Chen possessed a highly retentive memory, and such a matter seemed quite strange to him.
Jiang Chen recalled once again what the Blood Emperor that had absorbed his blood had said. It seemed like there was something he must know.
âYou arenât mistaken.â At this moment, the white-clothed woman, who had listened to what Jiang Chen had said, flew into the air toward them. âThe Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch wouldnât leave any hidden treasure on land, and he also didnât fight to the death in the Bloody Sea Realm,â the white-clothed woman said.
Upon hearing this, Yiya and the others looked at each other in dismay and became skeptical of the remainsâ story.
âHowever, everything has an exception to it, and the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch has set a hidden treasure on land because of a certain plan for some reason, and this land is awaiting the later generationâs exploration,â the white-clothed woman said.
Yiya quieted and looked at Jiang Chen. Since he knew so much information about this affair, it was obvious that he was reliable.
âLetâs go!â Jiang Chen wouldnât let anything related to the Southern Sea Heavenly Monarch slip by since this affair was related to the matter he was most concerned with. âYou can abstain from stating the reasons behind it. But you still must explain the obstructions and dangers we will face,â Jiang Chen spoke once again.
Such words were tantamount to a warning to Yiya and her teammates.
The white-clothed woman and Hou Jue exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded. âFine.â Hou Jue shrugged his shoulders and explained the whole sequence of events. There were really remains there. But it wasnât their group alone who knew this, and there were still six other women qualified to enter this land.
âThey also have the surname Xiao,â as Hou Jue spoke, he deliberately informed Jiang Chen of such a matter. Hou Jue had tried to ease the tension. But Jiang Chen still wore an ice-cold look as before, and he would only smile awkwardly.
âThe seven people will fight over the treasure in the remains, and as Xiao Mengâs followers, we will also get a share,â Hou Jue continued.
âDoesnât this mean that it will depend upon young Miss Xiao whether we can get inside the remains land?â Wen Tao raised a question about the most important matter.
âThat is right!â As Hou Jue spoke up to here, he felt like he had said enough, and he looked at Yiya, Jiang Chen, and the others one by one and asked them to quickly make a decision.
âWe will go,â Yiya said
âLetâs then hurry. We have already wasted so much time,â the white-clothed woman, who was called Xiao Meng, spoke anxiously
Their group flew at full speed, hastening on their journey. Moreover, since they were assisted by Jiang Chenâs Void Divine Wind, their speed was faster than usual.
Hou Jue was stunned this. He could also depend on some secret techniques, but he couldnât manage to persevere for more than several minutes before he would end up exhausting his whole power. It was a different case for Jiang Chen, as he persisted continuously, and his face didnât even become flushed, while his heartbeat didnât quicken. If there was anyone who couldnât accept Jiang Chen yet, after this, they were all left speechless.
On the way, the team was tracked once again by the Blood Clan members, and they ended up suffering another attack. But their fighting prowess was too great, and they managed to cross such a crisis without suffering any harm. Moreover, Jiang Chen discovered then that Xiao Mengâs power was greater than even Hou Jueâs.
âThis womanâs Martial Dais is at the immortal grade. Itâs a true Immortal Dais.â Yiya lost control of herself. She had believed that she was quite outstanding. Yet she still couldnât help but envy this woman greatly.
Jiang Chen didnât say anything. He had also noticed that Xiao Meng had an Immortal Dais. But he still felt for some unknown reason that something was fishy about it. Moreover, it wasnât just limited to this, as some inexplicable emotions welled up in his heart. At first, Jiang Chen assumed that it was just a misconception. But, as they approached the ruins, such feelings were becoming more intense. It was like he was getting close to the truth, while he was subconsciously aware that such a truth would be cruel and harsh.
âWe have reached it!â After they dealt with three attacks from the Blood Clan, they reached their destination.
When Yiyaâs team came to a stop, their expressions changed drastically. âAre you playing with us?â Yiya spoke coldly.
Jiang Chen also noticed that they were standing at the edge of the Bloody Sea Realm, and the worldâs fragments were drifting in the void before them. It was a chaotic land! If one stared at such land for a long time, a restless feeling would well up in oneâs heart. Since Xiao Meng had stated that the ruins were here, then it seemed like she was just cracking a joke.
âFor the past few years, the Bloody Sea Realm was treated by the other realmsâ opportunistic people as a playground. Countless people came here, and most of its regions were searched thoroughly.â
Xiao Meng looked at them, and said, âIf it wasnât in such a place, wouldnât it have been discovered long ago?â Xiao Mengâs words were quite reasonable.
âYou should walk before us.â Yiya didnât question this matter and just raised a request.
âThat isnât a problem,â Xiao Meng unexpectedly agreed readily, and she revealed a smile. She said, âBut you must remember to follow us closely, and if you donât do it, you will be in grave danger.â
As Xiao Meng spoke, she flew toward this region, which was considered a forbidden land.
Yiya was startled by this. But, she quickly noticed that Xiao Meng didnât suffer any harm, and as she traveled among the fragments, her body started becoming fuzzy. Hou Jue didnât bother with saying anything else, and he was the second person to go inside.
âLetâs go inside.â Yiya took a prompt decision and brought her group inside. Even though they couldnât understand the principles behind this landâs destructive power, they realized that everyone who walked here was fearful and apprehensive and nervous. Moreover, if they didnât use their Protective Dipper Energy, their skin would have been burned.
As Xiao Meng turned around several times in succession, they felt like they were walking on a precipitous mountain road.
Jiang Chen observed the surroundings and remembered the rhythm used to enter this land and prepared a retreat plan. This was one of his habits, and it was only due to it that he had managed to come out alive from many dangerous lands.
At this moment, Jiang Chen detected that the void around him was becoming stable, and another whole world appeared before his eyes.
âIt unexpectedly really exists.â Yiya was surprised greatly. The Bloody Sea Realmâs people probably couldnât imagine that there was anything present among the forbidden region. This world wasnât big, and they could get a complete view of it from the sky. But if they walked around on the ground, they would have a completely different feeling.
Jiang Chen and the others gathered around Xiao Meng and awaited her instructions, while they also prepared themselves for a battle. The Blood Clan members they had run into on the road werenât worth mentioning, and Xiao Meng didnât need to ask their team for help. But now, a greater trial was awaiting them.
âItâs there.â Xiao Meng closed her eyes, and it seemed like she was observing something with her senses. Just after this, Xiao Meng brought the crowd to the deepest part of the mountain range.
Jiang Chen had a peculiar feeling while inside this place, and it was due to his intuition. He looked at Yiya, who was next to him, and he realized that she wore the same expression. This meant that this land really had a precious treasure!
Roar! Suddenly, a sonorous roar echoed from a place near them, and they felt like it was reverberating right near their ears.
âA dragon?â
Their group was stunned by such a roar. It wasnât just because it was sonorous, it was also because it contained an awe-inspiring prestige. It rivaled a Divine Dragonâs roar. Yet, it still seemed slightly different.
