Chapter 473 Elder Yan's Greed

Elder Yan nodded in agreement.

The Celestial Tribulation had dissipated midway through, and Zhuge Su had rushed back to the city. Both events suggested that Su Mo had been struck dead by the lightning.

If that was the case, there was no need for them to enter the city.

Elder Yan immediately said, “Saint Child, we can head back now.”

“No rush!”

Bai Di waved his hand dismissively.

Elder Yan frowned. “Saint Child, you don’t have other ideas, do you?”

Bai Di asked with a smile, “Elder Yan, haven’t you noticed how abundant the Spiritual Qi is in this city? And that it’s mixed with a mysterious power?”

“A mysterious power?”

Elder Yan began to sense his surroundings carefully.

Two seconds later!

Elder Yan’s eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with shock as he said, “Divine Power… There’s actually Divine Power in this city?”

“Divine Power?”

Bai Di was stunned. “You mean the Divine Power that can help a Saint-level Grand Perfection Expert break through to the Divine Level?”

“That’s right!”

Elder Yan stated with certainty, “The Divine Power in this city is incredibly dense. It’s enough for a Saint-level Great Perfection Powerhouse to ascend to godhood on the spot.”

“What?”

Bai Di was utterly astounded.

Divine Power… That was a supreme treasure countless Saint-level Great Perfection Powerhouses went mad for, a treasure they could search for for ten thousand years and never find.

Even their Canglan Sacred Land didn’t possess Divine Power.

He never imagined Qingyang City would have it, and that it would be so dense it could allow a Saint-level Great Perfection Powerhouse to ascend to godhood on the spot.

“We’ve struck it rich!”

Bai Di exclaimed excitedly.

Elder Yan said with agitation, “If we bring this Divine Power back, our Saint Master will be able to ascend to godhood and become a Divine-level Powerhouse!”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go! Inside!”

Bai Di charged straight toward Qingyang City.

Elder Yan followed close behind.

However, just as the two entered the city, before they even had time to react, countless fire snakes surged toward them from all directions.

“What?”

Bai Di’s expression changed drastically. He hurriedly raised his hands to form a barrier in front of him.

He had originally thought he could easily block the attacking fire snakes, but the moment they made contact, he felt the terrifying power they contained.

BOOM!

Bai Di was forced back several dozen meters by the fire snakes, his arms covered in burns that gave off an acrid, charred smell.

“A Tenth Rank Saint Level Array?”

Bai Di wore a look of shock.

He never expected this little Qingyang City to have a Tenth Rank Saint Level Array, one that could almost rival the defenses of their Canglan Sacred Land.

“It seems this Qingyang City won’t be so easy to barge into,” Elder Yan said, surveying the surrounding Array. “Saint Child, step back. I will use brute force to break this Array.”

“Alright!”

Bai Di voluntarily retreated behind Elder Yan.

With his strength, he couldn’t possibly stand against a Tenth Rank Saint Level Array. He could only rely on Elder Yan, who was also a Saint-level Powerhouse.

BOOM!

Elder Yan gathered his power and threw a punch like a raging dragon, forcibly shattering the Array before him.

Seeing this, Bai Di said disdainfully, “Heh, this Saint-level Array isn’t all that impressive.”

“This isn’t a true Saint-level Array!”

Elder Yan shook his head.

Bai Di asked in surprise, “Elder Yan, are you sure this isn’t a Saint-level Array?”

Elder Yan said in a low voice, “This Array was evolved from a Tier Eight Array. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to shatter it with a single punch.”

“Evolving a Tier Eight Array to the Saint Tier?”

Bai Di’s face was a mask of disbelief.

Elder Yan’s expression grew solemn. “That’s precisely why the person who set up this Array is so terrifying.”

While a Saint-level Array Master could set up a Saint-level Array, they were merely following a blueprint; they couldn’t actually create a new Saint Tier Array.

Only a Divine-level Array Master could create a Saint Tier Array.

For the person who set up this Array to be able to transform an ordinary Tier Eight Array into a Saint Tier one, their skill was utterly terrifying, far surpassing that of an ordinary Saint-level Array Master.

“Should we still go in, then?”

Bai Di asked.

Elder Yan said coldly, “Hmph. A Saint-level Array Master may be terrifying, but their personal combat strength is lacking. We just need to break through the Arrays.”

Ordinarily, he would never take the risk of offending a Saint-level Array Master.

But this time was different.

Qingyang City contained an immense amount of Divine Power, and he had to obtain it no matter what.

“Let’s go!”

The two continued forward.

But in the next second, they froze on the spot.

Before their very eyes, another Saint-level Array had appeared, blocking their path.

“This…”

Bai Di was dumbfounded.

Elder Yan said with cold arrogance, “As long as it’s not a true Saint-level Array, it can’t stop me. Watch me break it with brute force.”

BOOM!

Elder Yan threw another powerful punch.

「Inside Qingyang City.」

Su Mo had just finished giving instructions to the Second Elder when he heard Huang Xu run up and report, “Elder Su, someone is trying to force their way through Qingyang City’s Arrays.”

“Oh? Is that so?”

Su Mo’s brow furrowed slightly.

“It’s the Saint Heir from the Canglan Sacred Land and his Guardian. I was originally going to bring them in to see you, but they mocked Qingyang City, saying it was all bark and no bite. They also said you’d been struck dead by lightning. They were incredibly rude, so I left them outside the city.”

Zhuge Su added coldly, “I didn’t expect those two to get impatient and actually start trying to force their way through the Arrays.”

“I’ll go teach them a lesson!”

Huang Xu said indignantly.

Su Mo waved his hand. “There’s no need to teach them a lesson. Just go repair the destroyed Arrays and let them suffer inside for a while.”

Since they dared to force their way into Qingyang City, there was no need to be polite.

He had to put them in their place.

He had set up several thousand Arrays in Qingyang City. Even if his opponents were Saint-level Powerhouses, they wouldn’t be able to break through them all any time soon.

“By the way, are those old guys from the Sacred Lands who came last time still here?”

Su Mo asked.

Huang Xu nodded. “They are. I’ve been regularly tossing them food so they don’t starve to death, but they’re about to be driven mad by the torment.”

“Hmph. Then continue tormenting them!”

Su Mo said coldly.

If he didn’t teach these people from the Sacred Lands a lesson, they’d think he was a pushover and would likely mock him relentlessly.

Then, Su Mo went to find Xiao Qingxue.

“Darling!”

Su Mo pulled Xiao Qingxue into his arms.

Xiao Qingxue’s face flushed red. “My dear, you’re back. I was busy with my breakthrough just now and couldn’t come out to greet you. Please forgive me.”

“Don’t be silly. We’re husband and wife, there’s no need to be so formal. It makes us sound like strangers.”

Su Mo said, “Come, let your husband see what Realm you’ve broken through to.”

WHOOSH!

Xiao Qingxue activated her power, revealing her Realm.

“You’ve reached the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm?”

Su Mo said in surprise.

Xiao Qingxue nodded. “With my Purity Body and the Cultivation Technique you taught me, I should have power comparable to an Early Stage Saint.”

Hearing this, Su Mo revealed a gratified expression.

Xiao Qingxue’s current strength would be considered formidable even among the major Sacred Lands, enough to crush any Saint Heir.

Even the Xiao Family’s strongest, the Drunken Sword Spirit, couldn’t compare to Xiao Qingxue.

Over the next few days, everyone in the Xiao Family entered seclusion, ushering in a frenzy of breakthroughs.

After all, Su Mo had brought back a massive amount of resources this time.

Furthermore, they were blessed by the Celestial Mandate.

In just three short days, the Xiao Alliance’s strength increased a hundredfold.

The number of Martial Emperors grew from a mere two or three to over a dozen, and all of them possessed combat power comparable to a Semi-Saint.

「Meanwhile…」

Elder Yan and Bai Di, trapped in the Arrays, were going insane.

Disheveled and grimy, Bai Di wailed in despair, “Damn it, just how many Arrays did that bastard Su set up?”
