Chapter 159

Only Li Huo and Li Hao were left in the hall of the seventh floor. It was very spacious, so there was no need to hold back.

Li Huo went straight to the point.

Although a diamond that had lost its Gold Essence couldn't be compared to a great treasure, its value was immeasurable. The weapon refined from it would be even better than the Raging Flame Sword. It was definitely an excellent material for refining weapons.

Li Huo stared at Li Hao in confusion.

"What? Do you think I can steal it?"

Li Hao glared at his younger brother and said indifferently, "Can a mere diamond that has lost its gold essence compare to my, Li Hao's, and the Li Family's face? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for attacking me here today?"

"This …" Li Huo was startled. He was an impatient person who only thought about the present and didn't think about the future.

"That doesn't mean we can't just let it go." Li Huo said.

"Isn't he going to the ruins?" Li Hao said indifferently and didn't say anything else.

"Big brother, you mean …" Li Huo's eyes instantly lit up.

"Even if the diamond has lost its Gold Essence, it's still not something a nobody like him can touch." Li Hao said.

"A nobody? Big brother, there's something you don't know." Li Huo told Li Hao everything and whispered his guess, "He's very strong, comparable to a monstrous genius of the same level. He might be a disciple of a hermit family."

Li Hao's eyes flashed and he was a little surprised. After pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if he's from a hermit family or not. What's important is that he goes to the ruins."

"Since he's a powerful force, you should try to give him some benefits so that he can help our Li Family."

Zi Chen left. He didn't like Li Hao's attitude.

Cang He and the others walked out one after another.

"Chen Zi, there's still some time before we go to the ruins. We'll let you know when it's time." Cang He cupped his hands and said politely.

"Okay." Zi Chen nodded.

Along the way, Cang He and Wu Xiong tried to rope in Zi Chen. Such a powerful force was definitely an existence that couldn't be ignored in the ruins.

Zi Chen nodded and smiled. He didn't make any promises, but he didn't refuse either.

"It's on the way. Let's go together."

Miao Kong suddenly said. Then, Wu Xiong left, leaving behind only Miao Kong, Xue Lin, Su Mengyao and Zi Chen.

"Chen 'zi, where do you live?" Miao Kong asked.

"Fortune Inn."

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I see you, I think of a friend," Miao Kong said.

"Oh, what friend?" Zi Chen looked at Miao Kong.

"A good friend. We're brothers. We've known each other for many years. His name is Zi Chen. Unfortunately, it's rumored that he's dead," said Miao Kong. His eyes were fixed on Zi Chen.

Hearing this, Su Mengyao and Xue Lin also stared at Zi Chen.

"Chenzi, Zi Chen, there are some similarities," Zi Chen said indifferently. "Is your friend also a member of the Martial Ancestor?"

Miao Kong shook his head and said, "No, he's a member of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor."

"It's said that the Nimbus Martial Ancestor was destroyed by the Martial Ancestor. You're a member of the Martial Ancestor, and your brother is actually a member of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor. Haha, you're indeed a good brother." Zi Chen smiled faintly.

Miao Kong was a member of the Martial Ancestor, and his status wasn't low either. This made Zi Chen suspicious. However, he didn't do anything excessive because Su Mengyao and Xue Lin didn't have any hostility towards Miao Kong.

From the two, Zi Chen could sense the hostility Su Mengyao and Xue Lin had towards Wu Xiong.

"Sigh, it's a long story." Miao Kong sighed and shook his head. It seemed that he had endless difficulties.

Zi Chen didn't say anything.

When the Nimbus Martial Ancestor was mentioned again, Su Mengyao and Xue Lin's mood became a lot lower. Obviously, they had remembered the sad past.

"You have to be careful. These three forces all have ulterior motives. Although your diamond has lost its gold essence, it's still a rare refining material." Miao Kong said in a low voice.

"This trip to the ruins is very dangerous. There will be many geniuses from the three forces. Don't be reckless."

Zi Chen didn't say anything. It was always Miao Kong speaking. After a while, they reached the end of the road.

"I'm here. I'm at the inn in front. Find me if you need anything." Miao Kong smiled and pointed at the inn in front. He turned and left.

"What about you two? Where are you staying?" Zi Chen looked at Xue Lin and Su Mengyao.

"We're staying at the Lin Family." Su Mengyao said.

Zi Chen had a lot to ask, but he couldn't open his mouth. At this moment, he couldn't even protect himself. Once his identity was exposed, he would be hunted down by many forces. He didn't have the Evil Good and Evil Monk's skills. He would definitely die if he flew out.

"I'm here. Take care of yourselves." Zi Chen glanced at the two of them, then turned around and left at lightning speed.

"Is it him? Is he really still alive?" Xue Lin looked at Zi Chen's back.

"He's definitely still alive, but I can't tell if it's him or not. But there's a sixty percent chance that it's him." Su Mengyao shook her head.

"But why didn't he tell us?"

"Probably because he's afraid of bringing trouble to us. It's a miracle that he could survive against the pursuit of three forces. But now, we have to go." Su Mengyao said after glancing around.

Zi Chen left quickly.

He didn't go back to the inn directly. Instead, he walked towards the end of the long street. It was a very deep street, but the deeper he went, the fewer pedestrians he met.

However, there were always two people behind Zi Chen, following him unhurriedly. They had been secretly following him since he left the reception building.

"Stalking?"

Zi Chen sneered and continued to go deeper. Just when the hawkers disappeared, Zi Chen had arrived at an extremely remote place.

"Swoosh." "Swoosh."

Suddenly, two figures appeared, one in front and one behind, blocking Zi Chen's path.

"Who are you?" Zi Chen was on guard.

The surging energy fluctuations around the two turned out to be Zhen Yuan. Zi Chen was a little surprised, but at the same time, he was puzzled as to who was targeting him.

"Kid, you've offended our young master. Today is the day you die."

"A puny Higher Heaven realm cultivator dares to behave atrociously in Cangli City. Today, I'll send you to hell."

One in front and one behind, the two were indifferent. They were dressed in black and wore masks. Obviously, they didn't want to expose their identities.

"Go to hell."

The two of them roared and attacked at the same time, one from the front and one from the back.

"Swoosh."

Zi Chen tapped his foot, and golden Zhen Qi surged around his body. Lightning flashed like a ghost, dodging the attack in front of him. At the same time, he suddenly turned around and struck back.

"Boom."

Golden light flashed on the fist, and a surge of energy spread out. Zi Chen borrowed the force and flew back a few meters.

"What? Aren't you injured?" The one who collided with Zi Chen exclaimed.

Zi Chen was injured when he fought with the Evil Good Monk, but after staying in the seventh floor for a long time, Zi Chen's injuries were all healed with the help of the mysterious heart.

Zi Chen didn't say anything. He couldn't kill two True Energy Realm cultivators at the moment, and there were still people in the dark. Without the help of the Thunder Field, Zi Chen could only leave quickly.

"Swoosh."

He tapped his foot, and his body swept up and flew into the distance.

"He's running. Go after him."

The two's expressions changed, and they quickly flew up and chased after him.

However, Zi Chen's speed was extremely fast. The two of them simply could not catch up.

"Boom."

Suddenly, a berserk aura appeared from below. A stream of saber light rushed towards Zi Chen, arriving in the blink of an eye.

"Bang."

Zi Chen punched and broke the blade aura with a golden light. At the same time, his body shook in the air and he almost fell. He could only borrow the force of a roof to escape again.

"There's someone else."

At the same time, several figures flew from the distance. Judging by the energy surging around them, they were True Energy Realm cultivators.

"So many True Energy Realm cultivators. Are they from the Cang and Li families?" Zi Chen frowned and sped up again.

The Nine Flashes of Lightning represented the fastest speed in the world. Although he was only at the early Xiantian stage, the speed Zi Chen displayed was already very frightening. He was like a golden bolt of lightning, instantly leaving his pursuer far behind.

"Swoosh."

Zi Chen landed in an alley. There were no pursuers around. Just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was a grey-robed man with a head of white hair. He looked old and wrinkled. Zi Chen glanced at him and his pupils shrank. He almost lost his composure.

The man was none other than the Grand Elder of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor.

"Why is he here? Almost all the Overlords of the Nimbus Martial Ancestor were killed. I didn't expect him to still be alive. He must be from the Chen family."

Seeing the Grand Elder, Zi Chen understood everything.

It seemed that Chen Feng was the one who wanted to kill him this time. Apparently, the latter couldn't take it lying down. Of course, he might want to kill him.

"There's a path to heaven, but you don't take it." The Grand Elder stepped forward and stared at Zi Chen coldly. His True Essence surged around him.

This was an existence comparable to the Disciplinary Hall Master. He had already walked a long way on the path of the True Energy Realm.

When he stood in front of them, it was as if an iron wall had appeared there. There was no flaw to speak of.

The path ahead was blocked.

Zi Chen didn't say anything. He couldn't afford to offend such an existence. He turned around and was about to leave.

"Swoosh." "Swoosh." "Swoosh."

However, the sound of something breaking through the air could be heard as several figures appeared from afar. They came from three different directions and surrounded Zi Chen in a fan formation.

These people were brimming with killing intent. They were all True Essence masters, and there were several of them.

At the same time, Zi Chen saw a venomous gaze staring at him from afar.

"Chen Feng."

At the corner, Zi Chen saw Chen Feng. The latter was standing with Ling Yun with a venomous gaze.

It was indeed them. I didn't expect them to harm me before I even killed them.

Zi Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent. Unfortunately, he had a bigger problem to deal with.

Close to ten True Energy Realm experts had surrounded him.

"True Energy Realm experts, huh?"

Zi Chen snorted. A powerful battle intent surged from his body. Boundless golden light surged as the blood in his body boiled.

When he was still in the True Energy realm, he had been besieged by True Energy realm warriors. At that time, he was still able to escape with one person. Now that he was in the Xiantian realm, he was ten times stronger than before. The current him had nothing to fear.

"Come, let's fight."
