Chapter 2052

Zi Chen was not surprised that the Five Elements had run away. Even Lei Dong, who wanted to kill him, had run away, let alone the Five Elements.

Moreover, in this world, there were no more opportunities that the Five Elements were interested in. They could only step onto the Star Path to find opportunities to break through the Divine Path.

Perhaps under normal circumstances, the Five Elements would consider it carefully, but because of Zi Chen's existence, the Five Elements had no choice but to leave decisively in the face of such strong pressure.

"He's gone, but the family is still there. The monk can run away, but the temple can't."

This was Zi Chen's third visit to the second mainland. His goal was clear, to go to the Five Elements Family.

Zi Chen was now a celebrity in the entire Zhanwu Continent. Whether it was the foreign tribes or the native forces, they were all paying attention to Zi Chen's every move.

Everywhere Zi Chen passed, all the Xeno-race experts would avoid him as they were deeply afraid of offending this god of slaughter.

It seemed that because of Zi Chen's appearance, the foreign tribes did not immediately start a new war after all the Heaven-Defying Cultivators left.

While Zi Chen was on his way to the Five-Element Clan, the five Patriarchs of the Five-Element Clan who were out rushed back to the clan as quickly as possible.

"Family Head, we've received accurate news that Zi Chen is on his way. Should we activate the formation?" A Heaven Realm cultivator asked after the five family heads returned.

Although the Five Elements Family was one of the five great families, they were collectively known as the Five Elements Family. When combined, they were a superpower.

Among them, the Jin family seemed to be the leader.

The five family heads who had just returned did not look too good. After hearing the Heaven Realm cultivator's words, they waved their hands and said, "There's no need to activate the formation. Just carry on as usual."

Hearing the Jin family head's words, the other family heads did not object. The Heaven Realm cultivator hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He did not continue asking and turned to leave.

"I hope you can do it," the Jin family head muttered as he looked into the distance on the city wall.

…

…

As Zi Chen advanced, he saw two people at the edge of the second mainland.

These two people did not block Zi Chen's path. With Zi Chen's current level, no one dared to stop him.

"Zi Chen."

Seeing Zi Chen appear, one of the two suddenly spoke.

Zi Chen, who had originally thought that they were just passersby, turned his head to look at them. They were two old men, and based on the aura they exuded, they were both in Heaven Realm.

Originally, it was not easy for Zi Chen to meet a Heaven Realm expert, but with the arrival of the great era, the number of Heaven Realm experts gradually increased, but it was not to the point where they could be found everywhere.

And the reason Zi Chen could see so many Heavenly Realms was because he had the qualifications and strength. As for those fake Heavenly Realms, they didn't dare to use such a tone to address Zi Chen, let alone stand there and chat with Zi Chen. Of course, Zi Chen's friends were exceptions.

"You are …"

Zi Chen stopped and looked at the two of them as he asked in confusion.

"This old man is Xu Dong. Greetings, little friend Zi Chen. This is an old friend of mine. This time around, we've specially accompanied this old man to meet you." Xu Dong cupped his fists towards Zi Chen and smiled faintly.

The old man beside him nodded his head towards Zi Chen kindly.

"Seniors, are you looking for me for something?"

Zi Chen asked courteously. He could sense that the aura around the two of them was much stronger and more solid than that of ordinary Heaven Realm experts. The reason for this was because the two of them had already stepped into the Heaven Realm before the arrival of the great era.

To be able to step into the Heaven Realm at that time was undoubtedly an incredible existence.

"Eh? Xu Family? Could it be that Xu Family from the first mainland that's on par with the Roc and Dragon race?"

Without waiting for Xu Dong to speak, Zi Chen asked in surprise.

"I wouldn't dare to be on par with them. It's that Xu Family. This old man is the head of the Xu Family." The old man smiled humbly.

Zi Chen was clearly surprised. He knew of this family from Qing Feng. This family was one of the few families in the first mainland that did not ally with the foreign races. They usually kept a low profile. During this period of time, they had also broken out in several wars with the foreign races. There were quite a number of powerful beings in the family.

Back then, when Qing Feng mentioned the Xu Family, his face was filled with admiration. Towards a family like this, Zi Chen was also filled with admiration.

"Zi Chen, are you going to the Five Elements Family?"

After a simple introduction, Xu Dong asked directly.

Zi Chen nodded his head and said: "That's right. Senior, could it be that you're here today to persuade me to return?"

Xu Dong laughed out loud when he heard this. Shaking his head, he said, "The Five Elements Family does indeed have such intentions. Furthermore, they've given me quite a number of benefits. However, I'm not here to stop you."

Zi Chen was taken aback when he heard this. He did not expect the family head to so straightforwardly state his intentions. Moreover, he had even revealed the tricks involved.

"Then what is senior's purpose for coming here?" asked Zi Chen.

"I won't stop you from going to the Five Elements Family. However, I hope that you can consider the bigger picture, Zi Chen. Now that all the Heaven Defiers have left, the war with the foreign races will soon erupt. Under such circumstances, no faction can remain unscathed. As for the so-called alliance, it has automatically disbanded after Qi Wei left."

"The invasion of the foreign races will be large-scale and spread throughout this world. Even the most reclusive families will have connections with the outside world and have their own industries and resources. Unless these families can abandon all their industries and hide in their own miniature worlds, they will have to participate in the war."

"The Five Elements Aristocratic Family is the dominator of the second continent. They occupy a huge area and have countless properties. This time, facing the invasion of the non-humankind, if this family wants to survive, they have to defend the second continent. In fact, when the non-humankind invaded, this family played a big role.

Seeing the frown on Zi Chen's face, Xu Dong chuckled and said, "Alright, this old man is old and naggy. Now that I've finished speaking, please go ahead, Zi Chen."

Zi Chen looked at Xu Dong and nodded at him before heading straight for the second continent.

"Let's see what he'll do. Will he destroy the Five Elements Family?" said the old man who had been silent as he watched Zi Chen's disappearing figure.

"Zi Chen doesn't have any killing intent. Even if we didn't appear, he wouldn't really go and slaughter the Five Elements Family."

Xu Dong looked at Zi Chen's disappearing figure and said, "Moreover, the rumors about Zi Chen's temperament can't be trusted. The fact that Zi Chen is still alive is enough to prove that there's nothing wrong with his temperament. You should know that when a Heaven-Defying Cultivator appears, the first ones to test him are the Saints of this world. If his temperament is really as the rumors say, he would have been destroyed by those Saints long ago."

"But he really did go to the Luo family back then."

"That was just to reduce trouble. It was just a scare. In the end, he didn't do anything. You should know my talent. I didn't sense any killing intent from Zi Chen. I believe that he didn't go there to kill. This time, the Five Elements Family miscalculated. I'm afraid they'll have to pay a huge price."

Saying that, Xu Dong laughed and headed straight for the First Mainland. His mission had been completed. He believed that the reward promised by the Five Elements Family would be delivered to the Xu family soon.

He only came out to say a few words to Zi Chen, and he was already rewarded handsomely. This was a very good deal.

When he was still some distance away from the Five Elements Family, Zi Chen stopped because he saw other people.

This time, Zi Chen didn't simply think that these six Heaven Realm experts were just passing by. He knew all six of them.

The six of them were the patriarchs of the Roc and Dragon Clans. They were the Dark Roc, Golden Roc, Black Dragon, and Rebel Dragon.

Zi Chen stopped when he saw the six of them. He looked at them and asked, "Are you guys here to persuade me as well?"

Zi Chen's straightforwardness made the two patriarchs, who were prepared to speak, not know what to say next. Black Dragon smiled and said, "Half and half."

Zi Chen looked at Black Dragon.

"This time, we hope that you can let the Five Elements Family off for the time being. If you really want to pursue the matter, wait until the war is over. Since the invasion of the foreign races, there has been almost no internal strife between the forces of the Zhan Wu Continent."

After a pause, Black Dragon looked at Zi Chen and said, "Of course, except for you."

When the foreign races invaded, Zi Chen was ordered to come to the Zhan Wu Continent to fight against the foreign races. However, this world had always been full of malice to Zi Chen. While Zi Chen had to face the foreign races' heaven-defying experts, he also had to be wary of the Zhan Wu Continent's geniuses.

"This is only our hope. The final decision is still in your hands. As for why we're here, we're actually here to say our goodbyes and express our apologies."

Black Dragon's so-called apology referred to the matter of choosing to remain neutral in the face of the foreign races.

However, at that time, the two of them had also been observing. Zi Chen believed that if that incident had not happened, the two of them would have stood on the side of the Zhan Wu Continent.

Reality proved that the two of them had stopped Lei Dong from killing Qing Feng. Although Ya Wei wanted to use Qing Feng, they had also protected Qing Feng.

"Goodbye. Where are you going?" Zi Chen did not blame the two of them for the previous incident, so he did not mind.

"An Peng and I are going to step onto the Star Path to see if we have the opportunity to break through the Holy Road. Five Elements and Lei Dong left early because they have Saint Crystals. The chances of them becoming Saints are very high. I think you should enter the Star Path as soon as possible. Moreover, this world's Star Path is known as the most dangerous one. This is also the reason why those heaven-defying experts are unwilling to enter the Star Path from here."

"An Peng and I also have Saint Crystals. It's the reward Ya Wei gave us last time. He took the half shield. Dragon Rebel and Golden Peng will stay behind and prepare to fight against the foreign races."

Hearing Black Dragon's words, Zi Chen nodded. After saying goodbye, he went to the Five Elements Clan again. His path ahead was not obstructed at all.

During this time, Zi Chen did not talk to the two clan leaders. He only said a few words to Dragon Rebel and Golden Peng. Compared to the two tactful clan leaders, Zi Chen preferred Dragon Rebel and Golden Peng's personalities.

They arrived at the Five Elements Aristocratic Family. Zi Chen could see the city from afar. Unlike the last time, Zi Chen headed straight for the Five Elements Aristocratic Family.
