A mysterious Scarlet Armor King appeared in Xiagu City, accompanied by a group of powerful cultivators, each one a genuine Divine Transformation Realm expert, all taking this king as their leader.
"Take action. Swear to search her out. Do not let her escape." The Scarlet Armor King was quite majestic. He was a young king, extremely powerful, already an extraordinary figure at the ninth heaven of the Demigod Realm. His expression was very serious at this moment.
"Yes!"
Numerous Divine Transformation Realm experts flew into Xiagu City, their divine senses exploring the city without restraint, searching for a certain individual.
"What audacity! Even a king cannot be so brazen, right?" Some cultivators in the city were displeased because wisps of divine sense were wantonly radiating out, searching the city, not putting the people in the city in their eyes at all, which provoked considerable dissatisfaction among many cultivators.
Other powerful figures were also very displeased. Someone directly slapped out a palm. The hand covered half the sky, a dharma manifestation appearing, pressing down towards the Scarlet Armor King and the other experts he brought below, intending to teach them a lesson.
But the Scarlet Armor King's expression did not change. He snorted coldly. Behind him, a supremely powerful Dao Trace spread out, transforming into a trajectory of the Dao, shattering this dharma manifestation hand. The person who made the move was even sent flying back, coughing blood.
"Our clan's king is acting only to find the thief who stole our clan's supreme treasure. We have no intention of offending everyone, but we are also not afraid. We ask all of you not to obstruct us."
Not far away, a blurry figure appeared, standing in the sky. An aged voice sounded out, reverberating over Xiagu City, rumbling and echoing.
The voice carried immense majesty, with faint threads of Saint Treasury Realm pressure that shook the mind and spirit. It was clearly a Demi-Saint.
He followed behind the Scarlet Armor King, only to protect this king, making many people tremble in their hearts. This Scarlet Armor King was absolutely an extraordinary figure; otherwise, he would not have received the personal protection of a Demi-Saint.
"So it's the Scarlet Scale King. No wonder." Some cultivators in Xiagu City sighed. Almost everyone lost their temper.
Not only was the Scarlet Scale King a king figure among the current new generation, a strong and powerful contender in the Human Sovereign competition, who had slain many of the strongest among the younger generation with glorious battle records, but also because the Scarlet Scale King came from an immortal Sacred Land.
What is an immortal Sacred Land?
In the myriad realms, all immortal Sacred Lands are ancient, great powers with eternal legacies, possessing profound and terrifying foundations, holding the terrifying power to rule over a great domain. Moreover, their ancestors have produced invincible Heavenly Kings, possessing corresponding ancient legacies. Only such forces can be called immortal powers.
The Scarlet Scale King came from one of these immortal Sacred Lands, named the Scarlet God Valley.
Such an immortal Sacred Land was incomparably powerful, far beyond what ordinary cultivators could provoke. At the slightest provocation, they could uproot entire mortal kingdoms.
After learning this, even more people were shocked because, according to the words of this Demi-Saint sent by the Scarlet God Valley to protect the Scarlet Scale King, someone had been so audacious as to break into the Scarlet God Valley and steal a supreme treasure of that clan, provoking the Scarlet Scale King's personal pursuit.
However, some were also surprised. What kind of power was the Scarlet God Valley? A dignified immortal Sacred Land, filled with countless experts, powerful figures standing like a forest, with strict defenses where even a fly would find it difficult to enter.
Especially the storage of supreme treasures, which was truly extremely strict, guarded by terrifyingly powerful figures. It shouldn't be possible for someone to just casually break into the clan's ancestral land.
Xiagu City was not without truly powerful existences either. There was a Demi-Saint residing here, to whom even the experts of the Scarlet God Valley were quite polite, not daring to offend. After this Demi-Saint placated the dissatisfaction of the many cultivators in the city, he also inquired about this matter, curious about it.
The Demi-Saint expert of the Scarlet God Valley gave a corresponding explanation. Everything was because that thief possessed superb thieving skills, suspected to also be a young king, wielding extraordinary secret treasures, thus able to silently infiltrate a crucial location of the Scarlet God Valley, evade the guardians, and successfully steal that supreme treasure.
And this appearance of the Scarlet Scale King was to pursue that thief, and also the Scarlet God Valley's intentional cultivation of the Scarlet Scale King, letting him grow.
"So that's how it is. No wonder." Many cultivators understood now.
The Scarlet Scale King stood in the sky, motionless, steady as a mountain. The eight Divine Transformation Realm experts under his command continuously searched Xiagu City, their divine senses spreading out, searching over and over again.
Although many cultivators in the city were dissatisfied, wary of the other party's immortal Sacred Land and the presence of a Demi-Saint, no one truly spoke out, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.
Ye Chen also frowned because during this time, he also felt wisps of divine sense sweeping over him. There were even two that simultaneously searched him with divine sense, as if trying to search out all his secrets, making him frown slightly. However, having just arrived in the myriad realms, he didn't want to cause trouble, and there was also a Demi-Saint watching closely, so he let it be.
"Hmm? This kid is strange. There's an obscure fluctuation on him."
Several Divine Transformation Realm experts' divine senses probed over, landing on Ye Chen, sensing an obscure fluctuation, as if something important was hidden. Three Divine Transformation experts simultaneously appeared before Ye Chen, surrounding him.
Ye Chen's face darkened slightly. "Gentlemen, what is the meaning of this?"
"Apologies. We sensed a special fluctuation on you. Could you take it out for us to see?" A Divine Transformation expert said. Although he said 'apologies,' there was clearly not the slightest apologetic meaning. His attitude was very forceful.
Ye Chen knitted his sword-like brows. "Are you suspecting that I stole your clan's supreme treasure?"
"Correct. We do indeed suspect. Be sensible and hand it over. We just want to take a look, confirm it, that's all. If you don't want to, we'll have to take some compulsory measures." That Divine Transformation expert said forcefully, fully displaying the domineering attitude of an immortal Sacred Land, giving Ye Chen no possibility of refutation.
"And if I don't intend to hand it over?" Ye Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, narrowing slightly, dangerous glints flickering within. Suddenly, the three Divine Transformation experts surrounding him felt as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, involuntarily trembling in their hearts, secretly shocked.
"You, this is..."
At this moment, even the Scarlet Scale King looked over, striding forward. His scarlet hair danced wildly, his appearance like a god or demon walking forth. Kingly divine majesty erupted, flowing out, pressuring the entire city, causing all cultivators in the city to change color.
"If you don't hand it over, we'll just have to beat you until you do!" The Scarlet Scale King said indifferently, filled with kingly majesty, as if passing judgment.
Ye Chen also looked over intently. Although he didn't want to cause trouble, that didn't mean he was afraid.
The lineage of the Battle Saint had never feared anything, neither heaven nor earth. Gods blocking, kill the gods; Buddhas blocking, kill the Buddhas!
Boom—
At this moment, a streak of light flew out from the eastern district, soaring into the sky.
"It's her! That thief is trying to take advantage and escape!"
