Chapter 815 - 452: Only One Can Survive! (Part 2)

Without the decree of the Emperor Yu, it’s impossible to take even a single step.

It’s like being a complete waste.

"Elder, you praise me too much. Compared to you, I’m nothing."

Chen Xuan said modestly.

"You’re... nothing? Then those so-called geniuses in the Eastern Continent might as well just end it."

"This excessive modesty is a bit hypocritical, boy!"

Zhou teased him.

"A little hypocrisy is good. My strength is too weak, unlike you elder, who stands at the peak of the Eastern Continent with the freedom to act without restraint."

Chen Xuan did not find anything wrong with being hypocritical.

At least, until his strength was enough to protect himself, this was just fine.

Only someone of Zhou’s top-notch strength didn’t need to behave this way.

"Makes some sense."

"Alright, I’m leaving. Don’t call me unless necessary. I’m busy taking the last step, unlike you, who is so idle!"

With that, Zhou’s figure started to blur.

"The last step? What is that?"

Chen Xuan hastily asked.

"Are we that familiar? Besides, you don’t have the right to know these things."

With those words, Zhou disappeared from Chen Xuan’s sight.

"This Eastern Continent, this Great Yu... is hiding more and more secrets."

Chen Xuan couldn’t help but murmur.

He had thought that as his strength grew, he was standing among the upper echelons of the Eastern Continent.

But now it seemed... he might only grasp the surface.

"The waters run too deep!"

With a sigh, Chen Xuan’s figure gradually faded, and his consciousness returned to his original body.

....

Jiuxian County.

"Is there something specific the Lord Yuan Qing wants to instruct?"

The doppelganger bowed slightly to Yuan Qing, who was seated above, and then asked.

Suddenly arriving here, and descending from the sky.

"It seems to be something significant."

He thought to himself.

"Not bad, your strength has increased so much!"

Yuan Qing’s gaze swept over him, somewhat surprised.

It hadn’t been long since the battle of the Nine Gates, and the Spirit Cultivator was almost at the third level of the Dao Realm.

Truly a genius!

No wonder even the lord has taken a liking to him and is considering grooming him.

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Yuan Qing."

The doppelganger said with a smile, "I wonder how Uncle Zhi Sha is doing now?"

"Him... this time he should have hope, so you don’t need to worry. Just focus on your cultivation. It’s not only Zhi Sha; the lord also has high hopes for you."

"So don’t let them down."

Indeed, the Hidden Kill is currently in a transitional state.

The lord will inevitably take the step, and according to his guess, it might coincide with the one from Great Yu taking that step as well.

After all, the two are at an impasse with each other.

Whoever takes the step first has apprehensions.

There’s a high chance the two have reached an agreement already.

Of course, this is just his guess.

However, apart from these old-timers, there’s really no one among the younger generation of Hidden Kill.

The most outstanding one would be Xiao Yu here.

So for the future of Hidden Kill, Zhou had plans during the last battle of the Nine Gates.

"Yes!"

"Xiao Yu will not let the lords down."

The doppelganger appeared very humble and his expression firm.

Yuan Qing nodded in satisfaction and then sent out three silver beams of light with his hand.

The doppelganger caught them and saw three silver stones, then asked with a puzzled look, "Lord Yuan Qing, what is this...?"

"Find someone who can react to these stones."

"I’ve informed the other eight gates; you’re responsible for the dozen or so mansions near the Celestial Thunder Mansion, and send Dao Realm experts to handle this."

"Remember, it only responds within a kilometer of the stones."

Hearing this, although puzzled, the doppelganger did not ask further because he understood the Hidden Kill’s way of doing things. If he were to be told, Yuan Qing would have mentioned it earlier.

"Yes, I’ll see to it personally."

Yuan Qing nodded.

Compared to the other gates, Xiao Yu was the most agreeable; at least he didn’t keep asking why.

Those fools!

Every time they finished they’d ask, ’Who are we looking for?’

Damn it! So much pointless talk.

"Alright!"

With that, Yuan Qing stood up, walked to the doppelganger, patted his shoulder, and lowered his voice, "Find it well. The lord will reward you generously."

The doppelganger was taken aback and turned to look at him.

But Yuan Qing said nothing more, turning into a streak of light and leaving directly.

"Yuan Qing just specifically reminded him!"

The doppelganger understood immediately.

Because Zhou had ordered not to reveal the true reason for this matter, so he just hinted casually.

And he didn’t explain the details.

"This means this matter is crucial for Zhou!"

The doppelganger murmured, then glanced at the three silver stones in his hand.

A spiritual power emerged, carefully examining them.

After a long while.

"There’s nothing special about them!"

He checked them repeatedly; these three stones seemed very ordinary.

But for Zhou to mobilize the Nine Gates to find this person, it’s certainly no simple matter, so these stones must be Zhou’s handiwork, beyond his perception.

"Should I mention this to big brother?"

...

Inside the study at Prince Xuan’s Mansion.

When Chen Xuan heard about this, he immediately sensed something was off.

Because it was too much of a coincidence.

"Wait there, I’ll come over right away."

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan put the Spirit Talisman into his arms, then stepped into the space, but instead of using the Rule of Space, he used the long-unused Divine Foot.

"Hmm?"

In the room, Yao’Er murmured softly, looking in the direction of the study.

"He’s gone?!"

Such obvious spatial fluctuations, yet not the Rule of Space, does he have other means?

At this time, Xiaoqi awoke from cultivation.

"Daddy used Divine Foot?"
