Chapter 1832 (Raw 1843): Expectations Returned

“Boom!”

A loud sound rang out in the sky filled with glorious starlight. When a person approached the stone pillar where the divine flame was, he got knocked back heavily.

That person paled, and blood leaked out of a corner of his lips as he landed back on his stone pillar, showing an unresigned expression.

A war banner with a silver fox embroidered on it was erected on that stone pillar, with a group of unruly Star Venerates huddled around it radiating killing Qi.

Their faces dripped with disdain. With one look, it was clear that they were vicious pirates who had killed countless people.

“I still can’t do it. Even if a Sovereign Personage came, there would be no way to break through the Faux God Might here,” the middle-aged man who got knocked back exclaimed in anger.

This was one of the pirate overlords of the Starlight Sea Region, the captain of the Silver Fox Pirate Group, known as the Silver Fox Holy Venerate.

Xiao Chen stood beside Yan Zhe, sizing up the surroundings. He was rather surprised to discover some familiar people.

Among which, one was Ou Zhenyun, the Fantasy Cloud Pavilion young master that Xiao Chen had once met at a Pirate Hall.

Back then, Xiao Chen had sold the Black Profound Turtle’s shell to Ou Zhenyun. Then, Ou Zhenyun sent people to kill him.

This person occupied a stone pillar by himself, but he could not even be bothered to look at the Spirit Jades or the Soul Tool there.

Ou Zhenyun stared at the stone pillar with the divine flame, his eyes brimming with desire and blazing ambition.

There were Fantasy Cloud Sect true inheritors in the vicinity as well. They all claimed a stone pillar each, occupying an entire sector. They had a Holy Venerate Elder leading them and were extremely strong as a group.

However, even though these true inheritors were of the same sect, there would still be intense competition among them in the fight for the Faux God Flame.

This was nearly the same for the Heavenly Eagle Castle and the Blood Demon Palace, the other two great Demonic Dao sects.

The true inheritors of these sects each claimed a stone pillar. Familiar people like Yang Feng were here as well.

Actually, this was not really strange. Xiao Chen had been delayed for a few days because he subdued the Sword Monarch Grass. He had also cleared the obstacles alone. It was very normal that Yang Feng made it here before him.

Aside from these, there were a few loose cultivators in groups of twos or threes.

There were also two other 7-Star pirate groups, the Blood Shadow Pirate Group and the Berserk Wind Pirate Group. Like the Silver Fox Pirate Group, they also erected their war banners and gathered on one pillar each.

“Whoosh!”

Yan Zhe brought Xiao Chen over to the stone pillar where Senior Chai was and landed.

“Young man, we meet again,” Senior Chai said with a smile that did not seem like a smile when he saw Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen responded politely. Like the other stone pillars, this one also had a pile of Spirit Jades as well as a Soul Tool hovering above the Spirit Jades.

“Superior Grade Spirit Jades!”

When looking closely, Xiao Chen discovered that the stone pillars around the one with the divine flame all had Superior Grade Spirit Jades.

Compared to Medial Grade Spirit Jades, the quality of Superior Grade Spirit Jades was much better. One Superior Grade Spirit Jade equaled thousands—even tens of thousands—of Medial Grade Spirit Jades.

Even when considering the entire Great Thousand Realms, the Spirit Veins that could produce Superior Grade Spirit Jades were pitifully few.

Furthermore, they were all, without exception, occupied by the Holy Lands, the dynasties, or Rank 7 sects.

Xiao Chen wondered what this group of people was thinking to ignore the piles of Superior Grade Spirit Jades before them.

All of them just kept staring at that Faux God Flame as if shifting any attention to the Superior Grade Spirit Jades and delaying slightly would mean missing out on the Faux God Flame.

Yan Zhe muttered something to Senior Chai at the side. Xiao Chen could not be bothered with them and directly started to break the restrictions on the Superior Grade Spirit Jades.

Compared to the earlier Medial Grade Spirit Jades, the restrictions on these Superior Grade Spirit Jades were much stronger.

However, they were certainly not as strong as those on the Soul Tools. Breaking the restrictions was just a matter of time for Xiao Chen.

“Boom!”

A sword intent soared. Such a commotion immediately startled everyone in the vicinity staring at the Faux God Flame.

“Yan Zhe, when did you sneak back in?”

The Silver Fox Pirate Group’s captain’s gaze lingered on Xiao Chen for only a moment before shifting to Yan Zhe.

“Haha! You even brought a money-grubbing, younger generation.

“Hahaha! He is only a Major Primal Core Venerate. I wonder if the restriction will end up killing him. Yan Zhe, are you not going to help him?”

The Silver Fox Pirate Group’s Captain spoke very carefreely. As he watched Xiao Chen, his face was filled with disdain.

Anyone here with any experience would not care about the Superior Grade Spirit Jades. Compared to the Faux God Flame, Superior Grade Spirit Jades were nothing.

If they wanted to make a move, it would be better to do so on the Soul Tools. Collecting the Spirit Jades would make others look down on one.

All those here were people with status. They were either Holy Venerates or Rank 6 sect true inheritors, people with wide ken.

Yan Zhe appeared somewhat embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen suddenly made a move on this pile of Spirit Jades.

Yan Zhe tried to signal Xiao Chen with his eyes but discovered that Xiao Chen did not care at all. Instead, Xiao Chen continued working on breaking the restrictions on the Superior Grade Spirit Jades.

“Little Brother Xiao, I’ll help you to collect these Spirit Jades later. There is no rush,” Yan Zhe said, coughing twice as he looked at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen replied casually, “It’s fine. You all just go about your business. After all, we are just standing here doing nothing.”

“It’s you!”

Two people in the crowd goggled in surprise. One burned with rage while a murderous intent appeared in the other.

The one that burned with rage was Yang Feng. He turned his head to the leading Elder of the Heavenly Eagle Castle and said, “Elder Gao, he is the white-clad, mad demon that killed our sect’s core disciples.”

There were two Holy Venerates by Xiao Chen. Naturally, Yang Feng did not dare to make a move. He only cast his gaze on the Heavenly Eagle Castle’s Holy Venerate Elder.

“Haha! Is he also the person who kicked away Junior Brother Yang?” one of the other Heavenly Eagle Castle true inheritors mocked.

Elder Gao and the Heavenly Eagle Castle’s strongest true inheritor, Long Tingyu, stood on a stone pillar. Long Tingyu opened his eyes, and a bright light flickered in them. Elder, this person is rather strange. If there is no use for him, Yan Zhe will not bring him over. We can try to test him out.

The Heavenly Eagle Castle’s Holy Venerate Elder secretly sent back a voice projection. I was thinking the same.

He looked up, and his gaze fell on Yan Zhe. “Captain Yan, please hand over the person beside you. He has killed more than ten of my Heavenly Eagle Castle’s core disciples. If you do not hand him over, the Heavenly Eagle Castle will consider you an enemy as well.”

“Yan Zhe, this fellow also killed the core disciples of my Fantasy Cloud Sect and some of our outer sect administrators. There is no tolerating his offense. If you do not hand him over today, my Fantasy Cloud Sect will also consider you an enemy.”

Right after Elder Gao spoke, the leading Elder of the Fantasy Cloud Sect chimed in.

The situation turned interesting. Two of the Demonic Dao sects actually demanded the surrender of the same person at the same time.

Yan Zhe immediately felt a headache. When did Xiao Chen cause such a problem? This is so troublesome.

Before Yan Zhe planned out how to use the trump card that was Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen was already targeted by others.

Yan Zhe turned his head to look at Xiao Chen and saw that Xiao Chen was focused on breaking the restrictions on the Superior Grade Spirit Jades. It was as though nothing was going on at all.

Damn it! This bastard’s ability to cause trouble is truly too heaven-defying.

Previously, I helped him to deal with the Silver Fox Pirate Group’s Young Master. To think that he offended two great Demonic Dao sects at the same time! Could it be that he is hoping that I will deal with this as well?

Yan Zhe looked at Senior Chai.

However, Senior Chai remained expressionless and advised indifferently, “Now that things have come to this, it is too late for any plans. Just reveal it now; the sooner, the better.”

Yan Zhe immediately cursed in his heart. He knew that this Senior Chai did not care for the Faux God Flame. His goal was obtaining a natural treasure that extended one’s lifespan.

There was no need for Senior Chai to take the entire situation into consideration.

Two of the great Demonic Dao sects were making things difficult for him at the same time, and Senior Chai expressed his neutrality. Yan Zhe remained silent for a moment before suddenly smiling. “This Yan had no association with this little brother. I only brought him here due to some coincidence.”

At the crucial moment, Yan Zhe decided that he could not offend two great Demonic Dao sects for Xiao Chen.

The two Demonic Dao sects were horrifying factions with Sovereign Personages and many Holy Venerate Elders in them. They were much stronger than 7-Star pirate groups. He could not shoulder such a burden.

Xiao Chen, who was currently breaking restrictions, showed a mocking smile on his face, not feeling surprised.

It was already quite incredible that Yan Zhe had managed to sustain the nice big brother act for so long.

“Then why are you still not handing him over?!”

The two Demonic Dao sect Elders pressed forward with surging auras.

Yan Zhe smiled and replied, “I cannot simply hand him over. This is the person who opened the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s treasure trove. He might be the only person who can break the Faux God Might and enter the stone pillar with the divine flame.”

What?!

The moment these words were spoken, they immediately caused a huge commotion. Those people who originally did not care about this matter immediately looked at Xiao Chen.

The person who can enter the stone pillar and break the stalemate is a Major Primal Core Venerate?

Furthermore, he is the one who opened the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s treasure trove? That is impossible!

There are so many people here, Holy Venerates of older generations and Demonic Dao sect outstanding talents. They tried all sorts of methods but failed, yet an insignificant Major Primal Core Venerate can enter the stone pillar with the divine flame?

Many doubts appeared in everyone’s mind. The same thought appeared in everyone’s head: I don’t believe it.

The two great Demonic Dao sect Elders were startled as well. Unexpectedly, when they pressured Yan Zhe, they actually obtained such a result.

“There is no evidence supporting that. Captain Yan, you will have to prove it,” Elder Gao said coldly as he stared at Yan Zhe.

Yan Zhe felt helpless about the development of the situation. However, now that it had come to this, he could not be bothered with thinking too much.

He only wanted to break the stalemate quickly. With his and Senior Chai’s strengths combined, he still had great hope for obtaining the Faux God Flame.

Senior Chai’s strength was much more terrifying than most people imagined. With him around, Yan Zhe had a sixty percent chance of success.

This was worth a gamble.

However, if this dragged on and the Demonic Dao sects’ Sovereign Personages came, Senior Chai would not be strong enough, and Yan Zhe would not have much hope.

“Little Brother Xiao, this might be your only chance to survive this. Prove it to everyone, alright?”

Yan Zhe took out the Scarlet Blood War Banner and proffered it to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not turn around or bother with Yan Zhe. He continued to break the restrictions on the Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

Yan Zhe’s expression turned somewhat awkward. Everyone’s attention was focused here at this moment.

However, Xiao Chen acted as if nothing happened. There were only Superior Grade Spirit Stones in his eyes.

No one knew what exactly Xiao Chen was thinking.

“You repulsive brat, hurry up and prove that you are the one who opened the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s treasure trove.”

“Hurry up. If you can get onto the stone pillar with the Faux God Flame, I’ll give you ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Jades!”

“As long as you can deal with the Faux God Might, I’ll give you one hundred thousand Superior Grade Spirit Jades.”

While Xiao Chen was in no rush, the Holy Venerate experts were all extremely anxious. Some of the unruly pirates even lost their patience and looked like they would go over and snatch up Xiao Chen.

Just as everyone’s patience approached their limits, Xiao Chen finally subdued the restrictions on that pile of Superior Grade Spirit Jades. Then, he slowly turned around.

Xiao Chen looked at Yan Zhe and then at the anxious crowd. Then, he smiled faintly. “Since everyone hopes that I can get onto the stone pillar with the divine flame, I will not stand on ceremony.”
