The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 733 - 724: A Different Chen Yun

"Why must it be so complicated? Wouldn’t it be better to just do a one-on-one training exercise like before?"

The second level’s space was larger than imagined. If a single combination of spaces on the second level was as big as a county town, then the first level was probably the size of ten county towns, which still wasn’t as big as a capital city.

But this level... was completely different.

Both of them used Wind Technique to probe the edges of this space. But half an hour had passed, and they still hadn’t touched the boundary. With his current speed, he could have crossed four cities in the Northern Territory in half an hour. Did this mean that this space was almost as big as half of the Northern Territory, if not more?

Wasn’t that an exaggeration?

For a moment, Su Changqing even wondered if he was hallucinating. If the Sorcerer Dynasty could artificially create such a vast space, could they directly build a nation within it?

Upon reflection, he shook his head slightly. It probably wouldn’t work. Sustaining such a massive space would definitely require tremendous energy. It must be something that was temporarily opened.

"Hey, I’m talking to you. We’re allies, after all. Could you at least answer me?" Chen Yun’s annoying voice made Su Changqing frown.

If he could choose, he really wouldn’t want to ally with the person before him, but he didn’t have a choice. It was hard enough to build a relationship with Yunke’er, and after that guy ridiculed her, it affected his reputation as well. Now he had to team up with him.

Fighting on his own wasn’t something he hadn’t considered, but under the current circumstances, having more people could always provide extra security.

"It seems that the secret weapon Lord Chen gave you is very suitable for solo combat." Su Changqing looked at the other with a smile, "Since we are allies, shouldn’t you share a bit about it? Otherwise, how will we cooperate later on?"

"Heh..." On hearing this, Chen Yun let out a cold chuckle. He wasn’t surprised that Su Changqing guessed he had a secret weapon. Everyone knew what level he was at. Even he didn’t believe that he could beat Nie Youyun on pure skill.

But share it with him?

He would have to be crazy to do so. Seriously, there were only four Runes; who knew if they would end up fighting among themselves later on?

"You, Su Changqing, never tell anyone about your trump cards, do you?" Chen Yun sneered, "Everyone says the face of the Su Family is the eldest Su Changqing, but when the Su Family talks cryptically, it’s often hard to distinguish between ’Qing’ and ’Changqing.’ Who really knows who they’re referring to in public?"

Su Changqing’s smile did not waver, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he continued, "Didn’t you just provoke Shen Yuan to challenge you? Why start at such a distance from him?"

"Can’t you see why?" Chen Yun said amusedly, "Provoking him wasn’t about measuring strength against him. What good does it do me if I win? The important thing in this trial is to seize resources. The reason I pushed him to say that was to avoid Jiangnan’s tricks as much as possible. You’ve seen those Jiangnan people too, good at Formations and best at ambush and subterfuge. With Shen Yuan’s promise, at least I don’t have to worry about being targeted by other Jiangnan disciples. Shen Yuan is very proud; I doubt his junior brothers and sisters would go against his will and bother me alone..."

"You’re really calculating..." Su Changqing said with a cold laugh, while inwardly he began to reassess the other man.

Although the eldest of the Chen Family was not known for his talent and considered a fool, his cunning and strategic mind were top-notch. What seemed like a brainless provocation was actually a move to avoid more trouble from the Jiangnan disciples. It was a very cost-effective trade, as Jiangnan disciples made up the majority of those who passed the trial. Avoiding their hostility was like avoiding half the trouble.

Indeed, there had to be some strengths that Chen Baifeng valued in him, which was why he was entrusted with such an important secret weapon. He could not believe that just because someone was the Chen Family’s matriarch she could forcefully demand such an item. If that were the case, the Chen Family would not be called the Chen Family anymore.

"Hmm?" Just as Su Changqing was about to say something else, he suddenly sensed something unusual. A distinct elemental fluctuation radiated from ahead. The two exchanged looks, both guarded, and moved towards the source of the fluctuation.

"What’s this..." Seeing the flickering lightning ahead, Su Changqing instantly felt the strong Thunder element contained within it. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Among the Four Saints, the Azure Dragon controls lush wood and thunder... This must be..." As Chen Yun approached and his eyes lit up, he said, "Since we’re allies, you take this Rune for now. After we both have collected enough Runes later, we’ll distribute them then, okay?"

"Oh?" Su Changqing looked at the other in surprise, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll breach the contract later?"

"We are all from the Southern Sea lineage," Chen Yun replied coldly. "If you breach the contract, I will fight you to the death. I might not necessarily win against you, but my secret weapon has prevailed over Nie Youyun, and it would force you to fight with all your might, wouldn’t it? Such a battle would surely be a matter of life and death. If I win and you are the one who breached the contract first, the Su Family would have no ground to stand on, while if you win and I die, even if your Su Family possessed one hundred Four Holy Guards, you wouldn’t be able to stay in the Southern Sea. I believe you understand what’s more important."

"You..." Su Changqing once again took a good look at the man before him, and he hadn’t realized before that Chen Yun was capable of such scheming.

In the crowd, an Elder of the Su Family was watching with a peculiar expression on his face, and said to Chen Baifeng, "Lord Chen, this child of yours really is... unexpected."

"Hahahaha..." Chen Baifeng laughed for the first time with a touch of embarrassment.

In truth, when it came to temperament and decisiveness, Chen Yun certainly could take on great responsibilities; it was just unfortunate that talent was the most unfair thing of all, which often made members of his family lack a noble spirit. But then again, how could one possess such a demeanor without sufficient strength?

He himself never imagined that among the Chen Family’s children, the one to make it to the very end would actually be this one.

"There’s trouble," Chen Qing, who was standing aside, didn’t wish to interject – after all, judging other people’s children was the last thing he wanted – but he showed interest toward the new trouble that had suddenly appeared on the scene.

"Hmm?" Chen Baifeng and the people from the Su Family quickly looked over, their brows furrowing immediately.

The trouble mentioned by Chen Qing... was indeed not minor!

------------------------------------

"How did we encounter her?"

Just as the two had put away the Runes, they turned around and saw someone neither of them wanted to encounter.

Chen Yun had just said that the young people from Jiangnan would find it inconvenient to lay hands on him, so as long as he had Shen Yuan’s promise, and his own cover, people from Jiangnan were the least worrisome, unless it was Shen Yuan himself. Even then, according to Shen Yuan’s vow to fight one-on-one, he would be the most ideal opponent.

If he could win, the young people from Jiangnan would never move against him again, and the reward would be high.

However, the person before them offered very low returns and was likely much more dangerous than Shen Yuan.

"Young Masters..." The beautiful voice, soft as drizzling rain, posed no threat itself; it belonged to the representative from the Northern Territory: Bai Su.

"Could you leave that Rune behind?"

Chen Yun and Su Changqing’s faces darkened, for though the other’s tone was polite, the implied message was domineering, demanding directly that they hand over the Rune they had just discovered.

"This young lady..." Chen Yun said with a smile, "Is there really a need to target our Rune? There are four types of these Runes, after all."

"I wouldn’t wish for this either," Bai Su sighed softly, lifting her hand and revealing three shining objects: two were azure, and one was like the Rune they had just collected, tinged with blue lightning.

Seeing this, both men’s pupils shrank – three Runes... all Azure Dragon Runes!

This woman, what luck.

This revelation made them realize that if they could win against her, they might not be far from being able to open the Azure Dragon Hall. This battle... seemed worthwhile!
