Chapter 911 - General Su Mo
The moment Ye Xuan appeared, the crowd roared. There was nothing but praise for her, and only pure admiration filled the eyes of women, without a hint of jealousy or other negative emotions. This simple observation showed that Ye Xuan was very successful in terms of both cultivation and her work ethic. The people genuinely admired her.
Ye Xuan had a smile on her face. She was looking in the direction of the city gates when a young man appeared at the gates and slowly approached.
An earth-shattering shriek came from the eastern section of the city, causing everyone to look up. A densely packed group of hundreds of people was approaching from the east. They were dressed differently compared to the people in the city; they were clad in ink-green armor and were sophisticated-looking. Their armor contained great power, and the combined power of hundreds of Divine Martial Realm experts exerted intimidating pressure on the whole city. Although they were not deliberately releasing killing intent, the faint killing intent that they innately emanated was terrifying enough.
The cold aura pressed on the crowd.
The crowd was still emotional, especially the youths, because these Divine Martial Realm Underworld Soldiers were people who led thousands of people; they were worshiped!
“The Underworld Soldiers have come!”
“There are hundreds of Divine Martial Realm soldiers here! That’s basically half of the experts in the Underworld Army!”
“The leader must be General Su Mo. Indeed, he is handsome.”
Listening to their conversations, Long Chen looked at the man in front of the group. He was a middle-aged man who was not wearing armor, but instead dressed in black brocade robes. Admittedly, he was a very charismatic, handsome man, the type similar to Dongfang Xuanxiao. However, he was even more handsome and had a demonic quality when compared to Dongfang Xuanxiao. He had a pair of ink-green eyes that resembled deep, emerald lakes with bright lights flowing within.
Long Chen sensed that his aura was similar to Ye Xuan’s aura.
Su Mo led the Underworld Soldiers closer to Ye Xuan. This man had an unforgettable sophistication to him. He was more like a scholar than a general who led millions of soldiers.
“Xuan’er, I apologize for being late. I had to deal with some matters. I’ll drink a few more cups tonight to ask for your forgiveness,” said the middle-aged man with a salute.
Long Chen guessed that Su Mo was likely over a hundred years old, or maybe hundreds. However, to experts at the Divine Martial Realm, he was still a young prodigy. This was the Royal Territory with countless masters; the lifespans of Divine Martial Realm experts were terrifying compared to the Heavenly Martial Realm. Heavenly Martial Realm experts could live up to two thousand years, while Divine Martial Realm masters could live up to ten thousand years.
“It’s alright.” Ye Xuan smiled. From her tone and expression, it seemed like she had long recognized Su Mo as her future partner.
She was still looking in the direction of the city gates. Su Mo, who was next to her, looked in the same direction and smiled. A teenager who looked similar to Ye Xuan entered passed through the gates.
Long Chen looked at him as well. He indeed looked like Ye Xuan, and he gave off a youthful aura that hinted at a young age. However, Long Chen sensed an aura that was similar to that of Divine Martial Realm masters coming from him.
“Twenty-nine years old; First Divine Martial Stage. Not bad, not bad. Xuan’er, is this your youngest brother? The one with the same name as you?” Su Mo smiled as warmly as the spring breeze.
“We don’t have the same name. He is Ye Xuan, written like: 轩.[1] And as for my name ... You know how to write it.” The beautiful City Lord smiled. Then she waved at the teenager at the gates and said, “My dear brother! I haven’t seen you in five years! I can’t believe you’ve reached the Divine Martial Realm so soon. I thought you’d need ten more years.”
Long Chen was impressed too. Ye Xuan looked similar to Xiaolang. Going by the Ten Thousand Nations Territory’s standards, he would be around fifteen years old.
Reaching the Divine Martial Realm at such a young age proved that he was an impressive prodigy. The Su and Ye families were major clans in the Underworld Estate. If the young prodigies they raised were this impressive, then Long Chen could roughly guess how strong their families were.
This is just the Underworld Estate, and the strongest people are already at the Seventh and Eighth Divine Martial Stages. How strong is the whole Eastern Royal District? How strong is the True Martial Palace? The True Martial Palace seems to be similar in strength to the Swordsoul Palace ...
Based on this information, Long Chen’s estimate of the Swordsoul Palace’s strength far surpassed his imagination.
I don’t care anymore. I just need to get to the Divine Martial Realm as fast as possible. Then I will have the right to think about other matters.
After Ye Xuan and the others left, the other people in the crowd also walked away. However, they were still very excited.
“Young Master Ye Xuan is going to join the Underworld Army. With his cultivation, he should be able to become a Thousand-Sergeant the moment he joins, right?”
“That’s not completely certain. Within the Underworld Army, battle contribution is still important. Both strength and battle contribution are used as benchmarks. Young Master Ye Xuan does not have battle results yet, and if he is instantly promoted to Thousand Sergeant, the others won’t be happy, right?”
“That’s impossible. Ye Xuan is the City Lord’s younger brother, and General Su Mo is the City Lord’s fiancé. The other Underworld Soldiers will surely give General Su Mo face in this matter. Just wait and see. I’m guessing that Ye Xuan will become a Thousand-Sergeant the moment he joins, or at least a Hundred-Sergeant.”
Amidst the discussions, Long Chen headed towards the eastern side of the city. He heard that the Ghost Arena would open in three days, so he found a relatively luxurious hotel nearby and stayed there. The building’s walls, tables, and chairs had been reinforced with various runes, making them very sturdy. People who fought in this hotel would not even be able to break a chair if they were below the Divine Martial Realm.
It was said that the boss of this hotel was related to the people in the City Lord’s estate.
It cost five hundred Emperor Crystals to stay a night at this hotel. However, Long Chen was rich now and had robbed someone to get the money, so he did not care about the cost.
The hotel emphasized the guests’ privacy.
Long Chen’s room could be described as “sealed in all directions,” so normal people could not even approach it. It was definitely a suitable environment to cultivate in.
He took out the Divine Martial Condensation Pill and peered at it. This was his hope for reaching the Divine Martial Realm.
Xiaolang is in the Desolate Royal Territory, while Lingxi is in the Swordsoul Territory, and I am in the True Martial Territory. I’ll get Xiaolang after I have found Ling Xi.
After making his plan, he took the opportunity to immerse himself in cultivation.
1. TL Note: Ye Xuan (叶轩) is the boy, and Ye Xuan (叶萱) is the girl, and they sound the same in Mandarin too. I will try to differentiate them by referring to the girl as City Lord Ye Xuan, and to the boy as “the youth”. ☜
