90: Chen Yuan died in battle
Chen Yuan transmitted a message to Ling Jun: "Ling Jun, I have an explosive cultivation technique that can instantly hold back the six Alien Beasts, but it's very short-lived, and I can't use it a second time. I think this is the only way to break the deadlock right now."
Ling Jun, as the leader of the Human Clan, had always been very calm, but at this moment, his face changed color.
He nodded, looking at Chen Yuan, because given the current situation, this was the best solution.
After striking out with a saber, Chen Yuan took a step back and unleashed the self-sacrificing explosive technique.
At the same time, he sent a message to Ling Jun: "Please take care of the Chen Family as much as possible."
Xun Xiuyuan, who had always been protected by Chen Yuan, suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Child, live on, kill all the Alien Beasts of the Abyss, and ensure the prosperity of our Human Clan."
After Xun Xiuyuan heard these words, he was already gripped by Ling Jun.
Chen Yuan suddenly erupted with an incredibly vast and violent aura. The Savage Bear Alien Beast, which bore the brunt of it, was actually split in half by Chen Yuan's saber. This was the first Shattering Void Realm expert to die in this battle.
Chen Yuan did not hesitate, his saber light erupted, his hair standing on end, enveloping the five Shattering Void Realm Alien Beasts in his saber light.
Seeing this, Ling Jun immediately flew towards Qiulong City at high speed.
The five Alien Beasts saw Ling Jun escaping and instantly tried to break through the range of Chen Yuan's saber light, but they couldn't do it for a moment. They had no choice but to unleash their ultimate moves to attack Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan laughed wildly: "You beasts, come quickly and die."
Chen Yuan engaged in a head-on attack with the five Alien Beasts without dodging. At this point, Ling Jun had already flown several kilometers away. His spiritual power sensed Chen Yuan's battlefield and knew that there was no way to turn the tide; the Human Clan had lost a pillar of support.
With the five Alien Beasts wounded, Chen Yuan finally exhausted himself and collapsed, his head even bitten off and swallowed by a Savage Bear.
On another battlefield, the other Human Clan Shattering Void Realm experts, seeing this scene, were furious, but they were entangled and unable to break free.
After Ling Jun flew another two kilometers, the five Alien Beasts chasing him had just started. Feeling that the spatial blockade here had weakened considerably, he instantly teleported and disappeared from the spot.
The five Alien Beasts behind them saw Ling Jun disappear with a blink and immediately became furious. One of them said: "I didn't expect Old Man Chen's desperate fight to be so powerful; we couldn't break free at all."
Another Alien Beast spoke, it was the Shadow Demon Ancestor of the Shadow Demon Clan in the Abyss: "Let's go back and kill the Human Clan's Shattering Void Realm experts. As long as we kill one, it won't be a loss. I don't believe that human boy can bring out anything good."
The other four looked at each other, thinking, are you just sour grapes? How could the reward from the seventh floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda not be a good thing?
However, they also knew that the Shadow Demon Ancestor was right, and they instantly turned back to besiege the Human Clan's Shattering Void Realm experts.
Ling Jun arrived at Qiulong City in an instant. After entering the city, he put down Xun Xiuyuan and said: "You stay in the city, don't go out. I'm going to help now, otherwise, the Human Clan might suffer more Shattering Void Realm casualties."
After saying this, the Ancestor of the Ling Family disappeared.
Xun Xiuyuan stood on the main road, just as he was wondering where to go, his phone rang. The spiritual power battery was durable and good; after more than ten days, it still had power.
"Hello, Nan Qiao, I'm out. Don't worry, I'm in Qiulong City now."
Xun Xiuyuan naturally knew the purpose of Xie Nanqiao's call, and he also knew that they must have been very worried after he had been out of contact for so long, so he immediately explained his situation clearly as soon as he answered.
"Xiao Yuan, you're out? You're in Qiulong City? Xiao Ou and I are also in Qiulong City, in the Ling Courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion."
Xie Nanqiao said excitedly after hearing Xun Xiuyuan's voice.
Then she handed the phone to Bai Xiaoou.
Bai Xiaoou took the call and just said: "Xiao Yuan."
Xun Xiuyuan heard her and said: "Xiao Ou, I'm fine, I'll be right there to find you."
After speaking, Xun Xiuyuan looked around, and just as he was about to ask for directions, he saw a huge plaque across the street: "Ling Courtyard."
Oh my, this guy actually sent me directly to the entrance of the Ling Courtyard.
He walked to the door and knocked, but after explaining for a long time, he couldn't get in. He had to call Xie Nan Qiao again to pick him up.
Soon, the person who came to pick him up wasn't Xie Nanqiao, but Ling Qingqian.
"They're not familiar with the way and are waiting in the back hall. I'm here to pick you up."
Xun Xiuyuan immediately thanked her and followed Ling Qingqian to the back hall.
On the other side, after Ling Jun arrived at the battlefield, the Human Clan's Shattering Void Realm experts were struggling to hold on. After all, such a large-scale Shattering Void Realm confrontation was the first of its kind in history. Previously, Shattering Void Realm participants in battles were at most 1v1 or 2v2, not a massive free-for-all like this.
Ling Jun charged into the fray, attacking four Shattering Void Realm experts at once, including Mu Ying and Xiong Lie.
As a peak Shattering Void Realm expert, Ling Jun was likely unmatched by any single Shattering Void Realm combatant on the field, including the Alien Beasts. Even the Shadow Demon Ancestor of the Shadow Demon Clan was a step behind him. Although they were both at the peak of the Shattering Void Realm, there was still a difference in combat power.
The four Alien Beasts faced Ling Jun's attack without the slightest slack, actively responding. This gave the other Human Clan Shattering Void Realm experts a chance to breathe, and the battlefield once again became a stalemate.
After fighting for a while, the Alien Beast Clan also knew that continuing the battle would yield no results, at most a life for a life, which was not very meaningful.
With a roar from the Shadow Demon Ancestor, all the Alien Beast Shattering Void Realm experts retreated, and the Human Clan experts did not pursue them.
The Shattering Void Realm experts of the Alien Beasts cast a glance at the Human Clan members and left without looking back.
Ling Jun led everyone back to the Ling Courtyard in Qiulong City.
At this time, Xun Xiuyuan was chatting with Xie Nanqiao and Bai Xiaoou, and the atmosphere was very warm, with Ling Qingqian also accompanying them.
Suddenly, Xun Xiuyuan noticed that many people had appeared outside the hall. Upon closer inspection, they were the Human Clan Shattering Void Realm experts who had been fighting on the battlefield.
Xun Xiuyuan immediately stepped forward and asked Xie An: "Ancestor, where is Grandpa Chen?"
Everyone had just sat down in the hall. Hearing Xun Xiuyuan's question, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very heavy.
Finally, Ling Jun spoke: "Elder Chen sacrificed himself to cover our retreat. He died on the spot, and his body couldn't even be preserved."
Xun Xiuyuan originally didn't know Chen Yuan; this was their first meeting.
However, Chen Yuan gave him the feeling of an elder protecting the younger generation. Remembering Chen Yuan's last words to him, tears immediately welled up in his eyes.
He looked around at the experts present and saw his old acquaintance Wang Yonghua. After thinking about what happened in the Remains, he investigated Wang Yonghua.
Wang Yonghua: Wang Family Ancestor of the Ten Great Families of the Abyss, late Shattering Void Realm (abnormal spiritual power)
Perhaps due to the opponent's extremely high realm, the information he probed was very simple.
However, he didn't know what this "abnormal spiritual power" meant.
He didn't think too much about it, deciding to report it to the Ancestor privately when no one else was around, Xun Xiuyuan thought.
Seeing the somber atmosphere, Ling Jun directly asked: "Xun Xiuyuan, you cleared the seventh floor of the Ling Tian Pagoda. What reward did you receive? If it contains the power of laws, I hope you can bring it out. Of course, we will give you some compensation."
This was also reasonable. Items obtained from the Lingtian Relic each time would be distributed according to the contributions of the four major cities to this exploration of the Remains. After all, law-based items are temporarily not useful for Immaculate Realm martial artists.
