Death Grip
Time passed quickly, and soon half a month had gone by. Xueqing was still in seclusion, while Xing Chen and Meng Xiner had been waiting on Snowfall Island for half a month.
"Sister Xue, Senior Sister Xueqing hasn't come out yet. She must be facing some issues. Should we go check on her seclusion place?" Xing Chen said, looking at Xue.
"It shouldn't be a problem! The three of us have consumed Fusion Fruit, so we wouldn't encounter any Bottleneck in the Spirit Void Realm. What kind of issue could arise under these circumstances?" Xue replied, slightly furrowing her brow.
"That's exactly why I think there might be a problem! If there were no issues, Senior Sister Xueqing should have completed her breakthrough by now. Why hasn't she come out yet?" Xing Chen said.
"Alright, let's go take a look!" After thinking for a moment, Xue decided.
"Okay." Xing Chen nodded, but just as they were about to head to Xueqing's seclusion place, they suddenly sensed a powerful aura appearing on Snowfall Island.
"Divine Lord?" Xing Chen's pupils slightly contracted, but the next moment he returned to normal because he felt a familiar presence from this aura—Xueqing's Divine Wind Emperor Technique.
"Senior Sister has successfully broken through." A smile appeared on Xue's face.
"Although it's only the initial stage of Divine Lord, this aura is at least equivalent to a late-stage Merging Void Realm expert," Xing Chen said after probing slightly.
"Xing Chen, is this really Senior Sister Xueqing?" At that moment, Meng Xiner came to Xing Chen's side and asked.
"Yes, this is Senior Sister Xueqing. Come on, I'll take you to see her," Xing Chen nodded and then grabbed Meng Xiner's hand. With a flicker of his figure, they appeared at Xueqing's seclusion place.
Behind them, Xue Jian smiled as he watched Xing Chen lead Meng Xiner to where Xueqing was in seclusion. As long as the three of them truly met, regardless of the outcome, at least the issue would be resolved.
"Junior Brother Xing Chen, are you alright?" Upon seeing Xing Chen, Xueqing's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise. When she saw Xing Chen being struck by Dragon Blood Sovereign with a punch, she thought he was doomed; she didn't expect him to be fine.
"Yes, I'm fine. Congratulations on becoming a Divine Lord," Xing Chen smiled and said. "This is Meng Xin'er; you've met her."
"Congratulations, Senior Sister Xueqing," Meng Xiner also said cheerfully beside Xing Chen.
"You're too polite, Junior Brother. Meng Xin'er, you finally woke up! I should be congratulating both of you instead!" Xueqing looked at Meng Xiner in surprise and then forced a smile.
"Senior Sister, I missed you so much!" At that moment, Xue directly pounced into Xueqing's arms.
"Alright, there are many people here!" At this moment, many people had already arrived at this place. Xueqing also pushed open the snow path.
"Senior Sister, let's go back to the Eastern Region!" Suddenly, Xing Chen spoke up.
"Eastern Region? Are you going back?" After hearing Xing Chen's words, Xueqing's delicate body trembled slightly as she looked at Xing Chen.
"Yes, I am going back. I have been away for more than a year, and I don't know how the situation in the Eastern Region is now. But if I don't return soon, the entire Eastern Region might be destroyed." Xing Chen nodded, a hint of determination appearing in his eyes. At that time, Yun Qing and the others had desperately sent him away; he absolutely could not avoid going back.
"Then you should go back first! The situation in the Nine Nether Sea Region is too chaotic right now; I can't just leave like this." Xueqing said after a moment of silence.
"Senior Sister..." Xue pushed Xueqing gently, her meaning was clear: she wanted Xueqing to go back with Xing Chen because no one knew if Xing Chen would return after leaving this time.
"Senior Sister, come back with me! I will have the Hate Emperor Palace take care of your family." Xing Chen said.
"Although the Hate Emperor Palace is powerful, it is not a force in the Nine Nether Sea Region; they cannot help much." Xueqing shook her head.
"Senior Sister, you may not know! The Hate Emperor has regained control of the Hate Emperor Palace, and he is about to break through to the Monarch Realm. By then, he will definitely be able to protect your family from harm." Xing Chen hurriedly said.
"I..." Xueqing opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
"Senior Sister, just go back with him! You can't let him leave empty-handed." Xue whispered in Xueqing's ear.
"Sister, you must seize this opportunity! I also suggest you can go with him." Xue Shaofeng, who had been here for a long time, also transmitted his voice to Xueqing.
Xueqing's pretty face turned slightly red, and then she glanced at Xing Chen and said, "I can go with you, but I can't just abandon the Xue Clan."
"Don't worry; I can guarantee they won't be harmed." Xing Chen gathered Demonic Aura in his palm, and after a moment, a black sword appeared in his hand and began to rotate slowly.
"This contains my Soul Power. If you encounter irresistible danger, you can take this to the Hate Emperor Palace to seek help from the Hate Emperor." Xing Chen handed the sword in his hand to Xue Shaofeng while speaking.
"Seek help from the Hate Emperor?" Xue Shaofeng looked at Xing Chen in disbelief. Although he could see that Xing Chen held a significant position in the Hate Emperor Palace, how could they possibly find the Hate Emperor for help just based on this?
"Elder Brother, the relationship between him and the Hate Emperor is unusual. Since he can use this to find the Hate Emperor, then it means he can indeed find him." Xueqing said slowly. She knew that Xing Chen had mentioned many times that he was connected to the Hate Emperor; now it seemed that perhaps the soul of the Hate Emperor had been within Xing Chen all along.
"This, this, this..." After hearing Xueqing's words, Xue Shaofeng was suddenly so excited that he didn't know what to say. It should be known that Hate Emperor is one of the Sea Domain's Ten Great Emperors. Now that the entire sea area lacks the presence of the Emperor of Thunder Punishment, Hate Emperor can definitely be regarded as the overlord of the entire sea.
"Senior Sister, can we go back to the Eastern Region now?" Xing Chen looked at Xueqing and asked, while Xueqing shyly lowered her head and dared not look at Xing Chen.
"Hurry up!" Meng Xiner tugged at Xing Chen's hand and gave him a meaningful glance.
"Senior Sister, let's go. We're heading back to the Eastern Region." Xing Chen stepped forward and gently took Xueqing's hand, and she did not resist.
"Let's go!" With one hand holding Meng Xiner and the other holding Xueqing, Xing Chen stepped forward, and his figure instantly disappeared, leaving only the members of the Xue Clan and snow behind.
"Bad junior brother, you better treat Senior Sister well! Otherwise, even if you're in the Eastern Region, I won't let you off." As Xing Chen was leaving, snow did not forget to threaten him.
As for Xue Wuying, Xue Shaofeng, and other family members of Xueqing, their faces showed complex expressions. They did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse for Xueqing to leave with Xing Chen, and what the final outcome would be.
However, thinking about these things now was pointless because Xueqing had already left with Xing Chen. After a brief sigh, they each returned home.
Underworld Abyss!
Standing outside the Underworld Abyss, Xing Chen formed hand seals, seemingly doing something. All that could be seen was that a Silver Light burst forth from his hands, revealing various mysterious seals.
About an hour later, several figures appeared before Xing Chen.
"Master!" These individuals bowed in unison to Xing Chen, and they were the first disciples from the original Disciples of the Ten Halls, aside from the Blood Fiend Hall, within the Underworld Abyss.
"Zhang Pengyun, Zhenque... have you obtained the Underworld Blood Fruit?" Xing Chen looked at them and asked.
"Master, this is the Underworld Blood Fruit!” Zhang Pengyun glanced at Xing Chen with some trepidation before taking out a fruit that was black and red in color.
"Good job. You won't need to stay in the Underworld Abyss anymore; come back with me to the Eastern Region!” said Xing Chen, slowly taking the Underworld Blood Fruit from Zhang Pengyun. Although Meng Xiner no longer needed this item, it was indeed a good thing to keep for future use.
"Yes, Master!" replied Zhang Pengyun and the others in unison. After such a long time, their strength had significantly improved.
Among them, the strongest was undoubtedly Zhenque, whose strength had reached the level of the Peak of Life Observation. His true combat power could likely rival that of the Gaze of Fate.
Next is Zhang Pengyun, whose strength is at the later stage of Gaze into Fate, only slightly weaker than Zhenque. The others are all strong practitioners of Gaze into Fate as well.
In such a short time, their ability to elevate their realms shows that they are definitely super talents.
"Meng Xin'er, do you remember Blood Fiend Hall? Now that I have the strength to take revenge for you, I will make sure that everyone from Blood Fiend Hall pays the price," Xing Chen said slowly, glancing at Meng Xiner beside him.
"I remember! It's that Blood Fiend Hall Master who put me to sleep for so long. However, since you've already killed him, let's not involve the innocent. My issues have nothing to do with the other people from Blood Fiend Hall," Meng Xiner replied.
"Alright, I'll listen to you," Xing Chen nodded.
"Hehe, then let's hurry! We need to get back to the Eastern Region as soon as possible!" Meng Xiner smiled and hugged Xing Chen's arm.
"Okay," Xing Chen nodded and then looked at Zhenque, conveying through sound transmission, "Later, you go and wipe out Blood Fiend Hall. Leave no one behind. Anyone who dares to obstruct you will be eliminated together."
Zhenque subtly nodded and then found an excuse to leave. Zhang Yunpeng and the others glanced at Zhenque and naturally knew what he was going to do. However, they did not express anything; after all, with Zhenque's current strength, not just a mere Blood Fiend Hall but even all the strong practitioners from Ten Halls combined would not be his match.
After Xing Chen and the others left Underworld Abyss, Zhenque also returned to the team.
