NOVPUBAs for the previous consent of the Ancestor of the Yan Family allowing Nie Wu and the others to have Su Changkong voluntarily hand over the Transforming Dragon Gate and offer protection, he actually didn’t force him.
After all, if Su Changkong couldn’t protect the Transforming Dragon Gate from the likes of Mo Junling, it would be better to offer it up willingly to ensure safety. Who to give it to, if not him?
Wei Shengxin’s eyes were threaded with blood, embodying the reincarnation of a Martial Saint. In his view, he was a natural-born Martial Saint, whose cultivation had soared without impediment from a young age. Even the giants of the Demon Gate treated him with utmost respect.
This was the first time he had been threatened and oppressed to such a degree, filling him with an impulsive fervor to fight with all his might and determine who was superior!
"Relying solely on the Divine Skills of the Divine Seed... is not enough to contend with a true Martial Saint. Even if I directly refine the Divine Seed of the Evil Emperor and become a Martial Saint on the spot, my chances against the Ancestor of the Yan Family are still not good..."
Wei Shengxin ultimately didn’t completely lose his reason and muttered to himself in his heart.
In fact, even if he refined the Divine Seed of the Evil Emperor and became a Martial Saint, the cost of seizing the Transforming Dragon Gate to his own detriment was not worth it.
"A bunch of trash!"
Wei Shengxin’s expression was fierce. If Mo Junling and the others could take down Su Changkong, he wouldn’t have needed to show up.
Five against one, and the opponent was neither a reincarnated Martial Saint nor possessed a Divine Seed; yet, they were all killed by Su Changkong?
Otherwise, Su Changkong would have only two choices: hand over the Transforming Dragon Gate to him or seek shelter from the Yan Family. It wouldn’t have been possible to leave with the Transforming Dragon Gate. In the end, the reason was Su Changkong’s own strength!
Wei Shengxin’s eyes turned frosty as he coldly glanced at Su Changkong. Then, he turned around, without saying a word, took a step forward, his figure shrinking, as if entering another space, until he vanished completely, ultimately choosing to give up and avoiding a direct conflict with the Ancestor of the Yan Family.
"You all should also leave the Silver Moon Empire as soon as possible."
Above in the sky, the Ancestor of the Yan Family glanced at Ji Xuexiao, Su Changkong, and the Heavenly Corpse Old Man below, the golden clouds dispersed, and the presence of the Ancestor of the Yan Family disappeared as well, everything calming down, with the evening sun at dusk appearing somewhat dim.
"Is it over?"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man sighed deeply, his heart finally settling down.
Today, Su Changkong faced too many threats, being surrounded and attacked jointly by strong individuals like Mo Junling and Gu Lie, even Wei Shengxin, the reincarnated Martial Saint, took part personally.
Fortunately, Su Changkong wasn’t without support; Ji Xuexiao, who had once fortuitously acquired a Divine Seed from the Chi Dragon Hall, intercepted Wei Shengxin.
Moreover, Su Changkong himself successfully killed all enemies seeking to take the Transforming Dragon Gate, prompting the Ancestor of the Yan Family to intervene personally, seeing him as worthy of obtaining the Transforming Dragon Gate and spoke to drive Wei Shengxin away.
"This Dao Wufeng... is very fortunate, even the Ancestor appreciates him so. It is likely that he will be the new Martial Saint of this era."
Yan Zhong, Yan Ru, and the others also rose and took their leave, their emotions conflicted. They had witnessed Su Changkong kill powerhouses like Mo Junling and Gu Lie, and secure the Transforming Dragon Gate. His potential was boundless!
"Let’s leave as well, I’ll accompany you for part of the way to prevent Wei Shengxin from returning."
The surrounding ice crystals gradually dissipated, Ji Xuexiao pulled back her chill aura. She approached Su Changkong and said to him.
"Hmm, thank you," Su Changkong expressed his gratitude. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to collect the corpses of Mo Junling, Gu Lie, and the other five, as well as their Storage Treasures. They all had ventured into the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky and reaped benefits, which now all belonged to Su Changkong!
The group of three didn’t linger long and flew away from the Silver Moon Empire, heading in the direction of the Great Flame Empire.
Along the way, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man said, "Brother Blade, let’s part ways here."
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man had no intention of going to the Great Flame Empire, as it wasn’t a place he was familiar with.
With an appearance of holding back words, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man obviously had something on his mind, which Su Changkong naturally understood. Previously, during the encounter with the Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet, the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had displayed an extreme yearning.
"This puppet is useless to me; I will give it to you," Su Changkong said straightforwardly, taking out the Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet from the Bag of Book Fragrance and handing it to the Heavenly Corpse Old Man.
Although the Heavenly Corpse Old Man wasn’t exactly a good person, Su Changkong was clear about debts of gratitude. All treasures found in the Heavenly Dragon Cave Sky had gone to Su Changkong, while the Heavenly Corpse Old Man had chosen to stand by his side in the previous battle, assisting him.
Since the Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet was of no use to Su Changkong, it was given to the Heavenly Corpse Old Man who desired it.
"Thank you, Brother Blade! Thank you, Brother Blade!"
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man could hardly hide his excitement and joy, thanking him profusely.
This Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet was refined for the Heavenly Dragon Martial Saint and had been nurtured within the Transforming Dragon Gate for two to three thousand years, possessing a physique to rival a Martial Saint’s.
Since the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s own body was of a zombie’s nature, fundamentally similar to the Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet, acquiring it meant that, with thorough research, he felt he might have the chance to advance even further!
The Heavenly Corpse Old Man, getting what he wished for, left with the body of the Heavenly Dragon Battle Puppet.
This time, out of the ten people from the Five Directions Camp, half had died—all because they aimed to seize the Transforming Dragon Gate and ended up perishing at the hands of Su Changkong!
Three days later, Su Changkong and Ji Xuexiao reached the realm of the Great Flame Empire without incident.
"Miss Ji, thank you for your help this time!"
Su Changkong expressed his gratitude to Ji Xuexiao.
Even though Ji Xuexiao owed him a minor favor, it was after all just a small one.
The Blood Divine Seed was useless to Su Changkong, and if it weren’t for Ji Xuexiao, Luo Huang would have simply detonated the Blood Divine Seed, leaving Su Changkong unable to claim it.
