Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1171 - 1168: Red Sun City!

"Boom!"

Fire God Fist and Thunderbolt Fist collided in midair.

The roaring thunderous explosion echoed, like a nuclear bomb explosion, raising a swirling mushroom cloud.

"Splat!"

The Red Rat King was struck as if hit by a speeding car, its rib cage cracking like firecrackers.

Its massive body was also heavily thrown, smashing the Flame Ape Rats behind it into a pulp.

In contrast, Li Chen still stood motionless at the original spot. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The difference in combat strength was immediately clear!

The other Flame Ape Rats, seeing their king defeated, emitted fearful "squeak squeak" sounds and quickly gathered around.

The Red Rat King let out a deep roar, then struggled to stand.

After taking another glance at Li Chen, it led its hordes deeper into the desert to flee.

Ji Lingling pointed to the fleeing direction of the Red Rat King and shouted anxiously, "Benefactor, look, the Red Rat King is trying to escape!"

Li Chen glanced afar, shook his head, and said, "Let it escape if it wants. Don’t bother with it. Let’s go!"

Ji Lingling nodded lightly and quickly followed.

Li Chen and Ji Lingling traversed eight thousand miles of desolate desert. Although some reckless demon beasts tried to block the way, they were all reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye by Li Chen.

At the far end of the desert stood a city; the average height of the city walls was over a hundred zhang, with the tallest standing at over five hundred zhang. A glowing red fireball hung above, resembling a burning sun.

Below the fireball hung a plaque carved from rock, inscribed with three vigorous characters.

Red Sun City!

Upon sight of the words Red Sun City, Ji Lingling’s delicate face immediately changed.

"Benefactor, this is Red Sun City, Red Sun Marquis’s territory. We should bypass it directly!"

Li Chen looked at the very tense Ji Lingling and asked, "Why should we bypass it?"

Ji Lingling was taken aback, her big watery eyes blinking, momentarily at a loss for words.

Red Sun City is Red Sun Marquis’s territory, and you just killed Red Sun Marquis’s nephew; do you need to ask why?

Ji Lingling blinked her big watery eyes, carefully considering her words.

"Benefactor, Red Sun Marquis is very powerful, a genuine Nascent Soul Great Power, and this city is his territory, full of masters. If we rashly enter the city, I’m afraid..."

She didn’t finish her sentence but instead subtly lifted her head to look at Li Chen.

The meaning was clear enough!

However, Li Chen ignored it all, simply responding lightly.

"I said, if Red Sun Marquis dares to block my way, I’ll send him to hell to repent!"

Hearing Li Chen’s "arrogant" words, Ji Lingling couldn’t help but be shocked.

Although Li Chen always managed to impress her, Red Sun Marquis was indeed a genuine Nascent Soul Great Power.

Previously encountered figures, whether Elder Yinga or the Red Rat King, were at most Half-step Nascent Soul.

Although they were only a step away from being a true Nascent Soul Great Power.

That one step was a chasm!

Many Quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators spent their entire lives and couldn’t cross that step even as their end approached.

Ji Lingling remained worried about unexpected events, so she again shouted urgently.

"Benefactor!"

But just as she uttered "Benefactor," Li Chen suddenly turned and looked over with piercingly sharp eyes.

Terrified, Ji Lingling shivered and swallowed the words left unspoken.

Her small figure shivered like a guilty student awaiting punishment, not daring to meet Li Chen’s gaze.

After a long silence, Li Chen finally spoke faintly, "Don’t call me Benefactor, it sounds awkward!"

Ji Lingling was stunned and cautiously, tentatively asked, "If not Benefactor, then what should I call you, Mr. Li?"

"That’s fine!"

Li Chen replied casually and strode toward Red Sun City.

Ji Lingling stood for a moment and quickly followed.

This Red Sun City resembled the workshops of Ancient Nine Provinces, occasionally showing demon beasts.

However, these were not wild demon beasts but domesticated ones used as mounts or to transport goods.

Li Chen wandered around calmly, even buying a book about Greedy Wolf Star from a vendor.

The book documented that the Greedy Wolf Hall was the greatest force on Greedy Wolf Star.

Greedy Wolf Hall was established for thousands of years, and its Hall Master was referred to as the Wolf God.

The former Wolf God ascended to another plane six thousand years ago, the only documented existence on Greedy Wolf Star to achieve such ascension, also known as Wolf Ancestor.

His status and influence on Greedy Wolf Star were comparable to Emperor Yu on Earth.

Besides Greedy Wolf Hall, there are eight other Super Sects, all Purple Gold Level sects.

Together, these nine great forces dominantly rule the plane of Greedy Wolf Star.

Forces like Red Sun City, in the area of thousands of miles, are giant entities.

Yet to the nine Super Sects, they are but tiny ants, where even a casual Elder can annihilate them.

Seems there may be a chance to visit Greedy Wolf Hall!

Li Chen thought to himself.

At that moment, he sensed someone tugging his sleeve.

Li Chen glanced sideways to see Ji Lingling trembling, her eyes occasionally peeking ahead.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Chen asked, frowning.

Ji Lingling, appearing scared, whispered urgently, "Um, no, my Lord, it’s people from Red Sun Marquis Mansion, they seem to be coming for us!"

Sure enough, before Ji Lingling’s voice fell, a middle-aged man with a mustache led a dozen guards toward them arrogantly.

Faced with this, Ji Lingling turned pale with fear.

Li Chen, however, remained unchanged.

The man was a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, and the dozen followers behind him were primarily Golden Core Early Stage; the rest were Foundation Establishment Cultivators. They were ants to be crushed with a flick.

After glancing at Li Chen, the middle-aged man ignored him and aimed his crafty gaze at Ji Lingling.

"Miss Ling’er, now that you’re in Red Sun City, why not visit our Marquis Mansion? Since your last encounter, our Young Marquis has been missing you terribly!"

Hearing this, Li Chen’s mind cleared.

So, it wasn’t about him killing Red Sun Marquis’s nephew, but the Young Marquis wanting to pursue Ji Lingling.

Without knowledge of the background, Li Chen didn’t respond but turned to Ji Lingling.

When Li Chen suddenly turned his questioning gaze to her, Ji Lingling hurriedly explained herself like a thief, proving her innocence lest Li Chen misunderstood.

"I’ve only met that Young Marquis twice; there’s absolutely no relation!"

Hearing Ji Lingling eager to dissociate herself from their Young Master, the middle-aged man’s face instantly darkened.

Now he scrutinized Li Chen, speaking sarcastically, "This young man seems unfamiliar; is it your first time in Red Sun City?"
