Chapter 758: Backer
“Ling Xue snatched the fragment that Black Wolf had exchanged for the Great Saint Weapon; she’s the one who got the better deal. You all shouldn’t be so aggressive,” the blood-robed elder said.
"So what if you're aggressive? Others may fear your Blood Fiend Sect, but I, Chen, am not."
Chen Futu remained indifferent, spouting nonsense as if he had a powerful background, leaving everyone stunned. Even Ling Xue only knew that his surname was Chen, but did not know his specific background. However, a young saint who could take out a quasi-emperor weapon to give away must be from an extreme power!
Chi Xiao also thought of this, so he said to Ling Xue, "Just do as Brother Chen said, go and give this old dog a few slaps, and see if he dares to spew filth again."
Ling Xue nodded and stepped forward to give him a big slap.
The slaps were loud, the crisp sound echoing through the sky. Black Hawk knelt on the ground, trembling all over, his old face flushed red.
What does it mean to be "not very harmful but extremely insulting"?
These bastards don't treat the ancient saints like human beings. If this gets out, how will he ever be able to face anyone again!
"Oh, you're not convinced? Keep going."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Chen Futu's eyes. Upon seeing this look, Black Eagle, who had been harboring resentment, was instantly terrified. In a daze, his will was forcibly stripped away, and he saw a terrifying Dharma image that stood between heaven and earth, its back to all living beings. The ethereal Dharma image and the indescribable power brought his spiritual world to the brink of collapse.
Fortunately, the pressure was only momentary. After Black Hawk regained his will, he felt all the power drained from his body and dared not speak recklessly again. He had a feeling that this young man's background was absolutely astonishing, and that he was the most terrifying one among this group!
Ling Xue didn't slap Black Hawk again, but said, "I hope you can watch your words, senior, because trouble comes from the mouth."
"Yes, I'll remember that."
Black Hawk became obedient, lowering his head and not daring to breathe. He was really scared to death just now.
Black Hawk turned into a quail, but the Blood-Clad Ancient Saint on the side couldn't swallow his anger. He glanced at Chi Xiao and Gu Dao and said in a sinister tone, "Two Quasi-Emperor seniors, are you trying to insult my Blood Fiend Sect by saying we have no one to rely on?"
Gu Dao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Who are the Blood Fiend Sect members? Isn't it just Blood-Clad Marquis and old man Kunnu? Let them come out and fight them to find out."
"you……"
The Blood-Clad Ancient Saint was seething with hatred, but did not send out a request for help.
A battle between quasi-emperors would likely destroy this area, so the Blood-Clad Ancient Saint forcibly swallowed his anger.
Not confronting them now doesn't mean the Blood Fiend Sect is backing down. We'll discuss it again once we've gathered all the fragments and opened the ruins.
The group then entered the villa.
Just as Ling Xue had predicted, Black Wolf had a fragment in his hand, and with the two fragments she had, there was one left.
Chi Xiao said, "I estimate that they should be here in the next day or two. Let's just wait."
Black Hawk dared not be negligent and hurriedly arranged for a superior villa and many beautiful servants to take good care of him. There was no other way, since the Black Wolf Legion did not have any Emperor-level experts to protect them.
After Chen Futu and his group left, Black Hawk seemed distracted.
The Blood-Clad Ancient Saint cursed, "You spineless coward, you're scared already?"
"Brother, what can I do against a quasi-emperor? Besides, I think their team is a bit strange. That kid surnamed Chen is probably someone important. We need to be careful."
"Someone with a powerful background? Hmph, one of my family's reclusive ancestors is about to break through to the Great Emperor realm. With the Blood-Clad Marquis and Senior Kunnu by our side, dealing with them will be a piece of cake. We'll set up the Blood Refining Array and sacrifice these ignorant fools."
Bloodstained clothes hardened his heart.
Black Hawk nodded without saying anything, but a sense of unease grew within him, as if something terrible was about to happen.
Over the next few days, Chen Futu, Ling Xue, and Xu Mingzhu toured the oasis. To be fair, the oasis was quite different from the desolate Black Sand Sea of the past, and had its own unique characteristics. However, the workers here were treated like cattle and horses, and were whipped when they couldn't work. Moreover, strong members of the military often led teams out to abduct groups of women from time to time.
Ling Xue and Xu Mingzhu were angry but helpless; they were ultimately too weak to help these girls.
Chen Futu didn't meddle in other people's business. Within the Great Domain, the dynasties accounted for a very small percentage of the territory. These kinds of things happened all the time, and getting caught up in the details was just asking for trouble, unless one day he forcibly unified the entire martial arts world.
Of course, if the Black Wolf Legion and the Blood Fiend Sect seek their own demise, Chen Futu wouldn't mind wiping them out and giving them their freedom.
Time flew by, and the last fragment finally arrived.
What's shocking is that the other party is actually an Emperor-level force!
It was a young couple and an old woman. The old woman was very old and her blood and energy were depleted, but she was a genuine Great Emperor. Even though her blood and energy had fallen to between the Great Emperor and Quasi-Emperor, she was not to be underestimated. Once she reached the peak of her ultimate sublimation and fought to the end, there was a high probability that she would approach the Extreme Dao Domain.
"I come from the Southern Abyss and belong to the Wuwang Sea Clan."
The young man revealed his family name as Lan Minghao, and the tall, sexy woman was named Lan Qiao'er. Both of them had already attained sainthood and possessed terrifying talents.
When their background was revealed, it sent chills down the spines of everyone present.
The Wuwang Sea Clan keeps a low profile, but that doesn't mean they are weak. As the most powerful force among the Three Mountains and Five Seas, no one knows how many Great Emperors this clan has.
In the previous battle at the Great Wilderness Mountain, the Lan Xinyu we encountered was codenamed Blue Emperor. She came from the core of the Central Region's Sea Abyss and was a powerful member of the main lineage of the Wuwang Sea Clan. Blue Emperor, with just a spear, was comparable to an ordinary Supreme Emperor. Her killing power was unparalleled. Even the Sixth Heavenly Demon General of the Jia Clan could not defeat her. She was only defeated when she encountered Chen Futu. Otherwise, even a Supreme Emperor who was not good at attacking would not be able to defeat her.
The old woman and the young couple came from the southern sea abyss of the sea tribes. They weren't exactly a branch, but if you really want to talk about it, they belonged to the territories of the four sea dragon kings of the East, West, South, and North in the mythology of Blue Star. The sea abyss in the Central Region should be the strongest branch.
Therefore, if we take the Wuwang Sea Clan as a separate branch, it is an Emperor-level force. Chen Futu strongly suspects that there is a Martial God-level expert in one of the Sea Clan branches.
"Now that everyone is here, let's piece the fragments together."
The old woman said tremblingly.
Black Hawk nodded quickly and took out the fragment first. Ling Xue thought for a moment and also took out two fragments. The last one was taken out by Lan Minghao.
When the four fragments came together, they emitted a dazzling light. The strange marks that had flowed on the fragments disappeared, and the engraved lines no longer changed. Finally, a map appeared, pointing to the place where the southern sand plains and the Boundless Sea met. There was a solitary mountain, standing out like a pillar supporting the sky on the earth, extremely abrupt.
The old woman exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the place? I've been there before, but I didn't notice anything unusual."
Chen Futu pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps we need a map as a key to open it, but are there any restrictions on entry?"
