1517: C1517 Back to the Black Tortoise City

C1517 Back to the Black Tortoise City

"Hahaha, strong enough."

Wu Chen laughed out loud. He was really happy about the advancement of the Dragonslaying Knife. Besides that, his cultivation base had also made a breakthrough. After reaching the Sixth Empyrean of Dragon Transformation Stage, his strength had also improved tremendously. He felt that all the effort he had put in was worth it.

"It's time to go back."

After the Dragonslaying Knife was completed, Wu Chen did not stay any longer. He returned to Xuanwu City and met up with Shun Yan, Yue Qingzhu, Xia Youlan and Hou Junji.

"Wu Chen, you finally came back. You really worried us to death."

Seeing Wu Chen's return, the few of them heaved a sigh of relief. He left for another day and night. There had been no news of him, and they were very worried about him. But now, they saw that he had finally returned safely. The great burden in their hearts also quietly fell.

Wu Chen said, "Don't worry about me, all of you. I have always been very good."

The few of them didn't say anything. Wu Chen's whereabouts always seemed very mysterious. He often disappeared mysteriously, sometimes long and sometimes short. It could be three to five days, or even a year and a half. Every time, they would feel very worried. They were afraid that something would happen to him and he would die outside. He would never be able to come back, but the result was... It was often unexpected, when they all thought that it was almost impossible for him to come back... He had miraculously come back, and every time, he would give them a new feeling... It was not an exaggeration to describe him as being reborn.

"By the way, Wu Chen, do you know that Si Zhangfeng, Hong Tai and the others are dead?"

Wu Chen nodded and said, "I know."

Of course he knew, because Si Zhangfeng, Hong Tai and another man named Zheng Peng had died. This had a lot to do with him. It was the same as using someone else to kill him. By letting Huang Pujun kill the three of them, it could also be considered that he had indirectly killed them.

"You know?"

The four of them gave Wu Chen a deep look. Yue Qingzhu softly asked, "Wu Chen, were you the one who killed the three of them?"

Those three people should not have any direct grudges with other people. Only Wu Chen had some grudges with them, and Wu Chen had gone for a day and night without coming back. Therefore, they had a strong intuition that the three of them had died. Perhaps it had something to do with him, or perhaps the three of them were killed by him.

As for Wu Chen, not to mention others, even those who were close to him... They all didn't understand him. This person was extremely mysterious. He was powerful and had many means to deal with him. From the beginning of his debut until now... He had been in a state of victory and had never failed. No matter how powerful his opponent was, no matter how terrifying his opponent was... He had always been able to defeat the opponent and obtain the final victory.

Therefore, if these three people were to die in his hands, they wouldn't find it strange.

Wu Chen said, "No."

No?

The four of them looked at each other in disbelief. If the three of them had not died in Wu Chen's hands, then who had killed them?

"The three of them died in Huang Pujun's hands."

Wu Chen had no intention of hiding anything from the four of them. He had absolute trust in them. He firmly believed that the four of them would never reveal the truth. In that case, it wouldn't bring them any benefits.

"They died in Huang Pujun's hands. How could that be?"

The four of them were shocked and in disbelief. Given Huang Pujun's status and extraordinary strength, why would he attack Si Zhangfeng, Hong Tai, and Zheng Peng? It didn't make sense at all.

Wu Chen shrugged and said, "Consider it me borrowing Huang Pujun's hands to kill them."

Originally, he gave the jade stone to Si Zhangfeng and secretly placed it on top of his bed. He wanted Huangpu Changshen to deal with them and tire them out, so they could not deal with him.

However, the final result was out of his expectation. Huangpu Changshen didn't lure them out, but lured Huang Pujun out instead. In the end, Huang Pujun killed the three of them in Vermillion Bird Empire.

Although this result was somewhat unexpected, it had achieved his initial goal. It could even be said that it had exceeded his expectations, because he had originally planned to let Huangpu Changshen deal with the three of them. He wanted the three of them to be exhausted from dealing with them, so they couldn't divert their attention to him. He had never thought of killing them, because he knew... Huangpu Changshen didn't dare to kill the three of them, because they were the previous Son Of God of the three holy lands. Their status was also extraordinary. With their status, even if Huangpu Changshen was extremely dissatisfied with them, he wouldn't dare to kill them. It was impossible for him to kill them.

However, this was good as well. Once and for all, they would eliminate all future troubles.

The four of them looked at each other and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Wu Chen's courage was just too great. He actually dared to borrow Huang Pujun's hand. To kill Si Zhangfeng, Hong Tai, and Zheng Peng, this courage... It could be said that he was extremely audacious, because Huang Pujun wasn't an ordinary person. He was the emperor of Profound Martial Empire, a Demigod Level expert, a super expert at the first level of the magnate realm. The scariness of his strength had far exceeded his imagination. If it was anyone else, even if they were facing Huang Pujun, their legs would tremble. They wouldn't even dare to speak, so how would they dare to plot against him? They would borrow his hands to get rid of the enemy.

However, Wu Chen did this, and even achieved his goal. This was simply inconceivable.

In fact, they didn't know that Huang Pujun had killed Si Zhangfeng, Hong Tai, and Zheng Peng. It was beyond Wu Chen's expectation. Even he hadn't thought about it. Things would eventually turn out like this.2

"So, does Huang Pujun's injury have something to do with you?"

"Huang Pujun is injured? How is that possible?"

Wu Chen was shocked and couldn't believe it. Huang Pujun was the Emperor of Profound Martial Empire. His strength was extremely powerful, and he stood at the peak of the entire Middle Profecture and even the entire Sky Martial Continent. He was one of the most powerful men, someone who could fight him. There were only a few of them, and only a handful of them could be counted on one's fingers.

Such a powerful existence was actually injured. How could he not be shocked?

"Don't you know?"

Wu Chen shook his head. "I don't know. When did this happen?"

The four of them looked at Wu Chen. It didn't seem like he was lying, but they felt even stranger in their hearts. The news of Huang Pujun suffering a setback in the Vermillion Bird Empire had already spread across the entire Middle Profecture. Almost everyone knew about it. But now, Wu Chen had told them... How could they not feel strange that he didn't know about it?

Xia Youlan said, "Yesterday, no, it should be said that it happened the night before yesterday."
