Chapter 177: The Extreme North

“Is this the Great Mystery Holy Son?”

A man in golden armor looked at the golden chariot and muttered in a low voice.

They knew that Nirvana Realm experts who had passed the ninth heavenly tribulation were very powerful.

However, they had never expected Su Chen to be so powerful.

Originally, they had wanted to wait for Su Chen to enter Dashang’s territory and join forces to show off their might to the infamous Great Mystery Holy Son.

But now, it seemed like that was just wishful thinking on their part…

Fortunately, they did not take any further action. If they had been a little rash, they would have died without even leaving behind any traces.

The current Great Mystery Sacred Sect was no longer the former Great Mystery Sect that could be manipulated by them.

Now, even if Su Chen killed all of them here, Dashang wouldn’t dare to say anything.

Firstly, the Great Mystery Sacred Sect was now on equal footing with the Dashang Empire.

A few mere border guards dared to provoke their Holy Son?

Wouldn’t that be asking for death?

Secondly, Su Chen’s current status was noble. If they rashly used their divine senses to provoke him, it could only be said that they deserved to die!

“What should we do next?”

At the side, a man in silver armor asked.

They were here under the orders of Marquis Champion to investigate Su Chen’s background.

But before they could investigate the details, there were already quite a few casualties, and they had even let the other party gain the upper hand first.

“Hmm…”

When the man in golden armor heard this, he pondered for a moment and then ordered, “Go and report this to Marquis Champion. Tell him that we fought with Su Chen, but we only lasted for two and a half minutes… Judging from the opponent’s strength, he is still at the initial stage of the Nirvana Realm. There is no need to worry about him at all.”

His thoughts were simple.

That was to preserve his reputation and face as much as possible.

After all, he was a border general of Dashang and had tens of thousands of elite troops under him.

If others knew that he couldn’t even withstand Su Chen’s cold shout…

Then he could forget about having any future in Dashang. He wouldn’t have the face to see anyone.

“Leader… Is this really okay?”

The silver-armored man said hesitantly.

The general’s face instantly darkened as he shouted coldly, “What’s inappropriate about it? Su Chen only passed nine Nirvana Tribulations half a year ago. Even if he has the demeanor of a Great Emperor, it is impossible for him to reach the middle stage of the Nirvana Realm in half a year! I asked you to report like this because I was thinking about our future. What’s wrong with that? Could it be that you find your life is too comfortable now?”

“Uh…”

The silver-armored man was instantly speechless.

After carefully thinking it through, he realized his leader’s rationale made sense.

If they reported the truth, Marquis Champion would surely see them as useless trash.

Everyone knew that trash had no value at all.

If they were seen as useless trash, they would have no future left in the Dashang Empire.

But on the flip side, if they followed their leader’s instructions, they could still maintain an image of doing their best.

When comparing these two scenarios, anyone with a normal mind would definitely choose the second option.

He gritted his teeth and took out a jade slip. He sent the message according to what his leader had said.

At the same time, in the imperial city of Dashang.

In a spacious secret room of a majestic and strict mansion.

Two golden eyes suddenly lit up, instantly illuminating the entire room.

His sharp gaze was like two divine swords piercing through the void of the chamber.

Inside, a young man wearing a dark golden python robe sat cross-legged.

His loose black hair and majestic physique exuded an aura that could swallow mountains whole.

“You are finally here!”

Marquis Champion picked up the jade slip beside him and smiled as he read its contents.

He only believed about fifty percent of what was written in the jade slip.

After all, cultivators were still just humans at the end of the day, they were just a bit stronger.

And all humans had selfish desires.

Those generals at the border couldn’t withstand even three moves from him. How could they have lasted two and a half minutes against Su Chen?

In the eyes of Marquis Champion, even if they were to fight together against Su Chen, they would not be able to withstand a single move!

Although the report lacked credibility, one thing was certain!

Su Chen’s cultivation was definitely still at the initial stage of the Nirvana Realm!

After all, it had only been half a year since Su Chen broke through to the Nirvana Realm.

No matter how gifted he was, consuming pills like candy surely wouldn’t allow him to reach the middle stage of Nirvana Realm in just half a year!

As long as Su Chen had yet to break through, he was confident he could defeat him!

“High-grade Dao weapon… it seems you may have the fortune to obtain it, but not the fortune to use it!”

Marquis Champion’s expression twisted as he clenched his fingers tightly. The jade slip in his hand instantly turned into dust.

Immediately after, he calmed himself down and said indifferently,

“Keep an eye on the movements outside the city at all times. If Su Chen appears, report to me immediately!”

“Yes!”

A respectful reply came from the void.

As soon as he finished speaking, the air distorted, and a black mist merged into the wall behind Marquis Champion and disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

Su Chen had been driving the golden carriage towards the imperial city of Dashang for the past half a month.

At this moment, he was already deep within Dashang territory and was not too far away from the imperial city.

Su Chen slowly withdrew his gaze and shook his head with a tinge of emotion. He sighed softly, “Alas…”

It had to be said that the Dashang Empire was much more stable compared to the Dachu Empire.

The main reason was that there were no sects or factions in Dashang, nor were there any vogue cultivators.

Here, the only way to cultivate was to serve the Dashang Empire.

Therefore, there were almost no uncontrolled cultivators in their territory.

Because of this, the living environment of ordinary people had risen substantially.

The entire Dashang Empire was filled with thriving scenes.

The only flaw was that along the way, Su Chen had seen many demons in Dashang!

This was unavoidable.

After all, the extreme north beyond Dashang was the stronghold of the demon race.

The extreme north had countless demon kings and even many demon saints.

Even the Dashang Empire was unable to completely prevent demons from infiltrating their territory.

It was said that the current Emperor of Dashang even had a demon as one of his consorts!

From a certain perspective, the Dashang Empire handled the relationship between enemies and friends very well.

At the very least, by doing so, they placated the demons of the extreme north and avoided being attacked from both flanks.

In fact, if the Emperor of Dashang had the ability, he could form an alliance with the northern demons and turn them into allies!
