Chapter 1071: Chased (1/2)
After Xiao Chen left the city gates, he bowed slightly to the four people not far away. After this simple greeting, he walked by them.
Etiquette was important when facing experts at the peak. This was a form of respect and was the same be it in the Sky Dome Realm or the Kunlun Realm.
After Xiao Chen was far away, one of the old men said in amazement, “This youth is really strange. All the outstanding talents in the city are waiting for us to pave the way, yet he directly walked away.”
“Given his cultivation, he should have no problems protecting himself in the periphery of the heart of the ocean.”
“He already advanced to quasi-Emperor at such a young age. How come I never heard of such a person in the Heavenly Starry Ocean before? Have I remained in seclusion for too long already?”
The middle-aged man, Zong Boxiong, withdrew his gaze from Xiao Chen and said indifferently, “He is Xiao Chen, the Azure Emperor’s descendant. He has already been conferred King by the Martial G.o.d Palace and inherited the Azure Dragon King’s insignia, sweeping through the younger generation of the Kunlun Continent.”
“The Azure Emperor’s descendant!”
The three old men’s expressions suddenly changed. They quickly turned back to look, appearing distracted as they gazed at that white figure.
The Dragon’s Gate’s Azure Emperor destroyed the Sea Monarch Palace ten thousand years ago. If not for the sudden fall of the Azure Emperor, the Dragon’s Gate would not have ruled the Heavenly Starry Ocean for only such a short time.
Now that the Azure Emperor’s descendant appeared, the three old men immediately recalled how the Dragon’s Gate had ruled the Heavenly Starry Ocean, and wondered if it would happen again.
“Zong Boxiong, why are you so familiar with this person’s information?”
Zong Boxiong replied calmly, “I have a G.o.dson that got into some disputes with him. If not for this Xiao Chen, he would not have become the top youth of the Black Sea.”
“How come your G.o.dson has disputes with him?”
Zong Boxiong smiled mysteriously and answered, “They both came from the Sky Dome Realm. He bears a grudge against Xiao Chen for killing his father!”
“Hang on, it looks like someone is following this fellow.”
“It is the people from the Divine Dragon Palaces. They really think highly of this fellow, sending four Great Perfection quasi-Emperors.”
“It is not our problem. We’d best not bother; it is more important to go to the heart of the ocean.”
The four chatted idly as they directly entered Despair City. Only Zong Boxiong turned to a certain direction with a contemplative look. His lips moved slightly; then, he made to catch up.

Outside Despair City, Xiao Chen had already gotten far away. Suddenly, a message appeared in his mind, and his expression immediately changed drastically. Then, he warily looked around his surroundings.
What’s wrong? Ao Jiao asked from the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen cautiously replied, “Someone is keeping an eye on me. Four Great Perfection quasi-Emperors from the Divine Dragon Palaces have been secretly following me for a while now.”
The strange message just now told Xiao Chen that four Great Perfection quasi-Emperors had been following him since his departure from the city.
Perhaps the people following him had treasures that could hide their aura. Xiao Chen checked with his Spiritual Sense many times but could not find anything.
“Go!”
Whether was it real or not, Xiao Chen spread out his Freedom Wings and prepared to fly to the surface of the sea in one breath.
Two Great Perfection quasi-Emperors would already be difficult for Xiao Chen to handle. With four of them, unless he used the Sea Monarch Crown at the surface of the sea, retreating safely would be tough.
Various scenes before flashed before Xiao Chen’s eyes like fleeting shadows. Then, the scene fixed on the surface of the sea. He took a step forward, planning to step across.
However, a formless energy suddenly obstructed him. The power of the world surged, and the s.p.a.ce above him became restricted.
When Xiao Chen stepped forward, he bounced back from the folded s.p.a.ce.
He looked around, and four old men wearing dragon robes in various colors suddenly appeared, gazing at him expressionlessly.
The old man wearing blue-colored dragon robes standing to Xiao Chen’s east demanded coldly, “Xiao Chen, hand over the Sea Monarch Headscarf on your forehead. Our Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace will cut off all grudges with you.”
“Hand over your Sea Monarch Crown. Our Northern Sea, Southern Sea, and Western Sea Divine Dragon Palaces will write off all grudges between us!” the other three old men shouted coldly in unison.
The force from the s.p.a.ce rebounding was great. Xiao Chen landed and took ten steps back before he stabilized his footing. Then he looked at the four men surrounding him and frowned slightly.
The four Great Perfection quasi-Emperors circulated their Heavenly Laws and drove the power of the world, working together to lock down the s.p.a.ce above.
Without a word, Xiao Chen’s figure flashed. He continuously used the Roaming Dragon’s Nine Transformations, materializing thousands of clones and scattering in all directions.
“How stubborn!”
The blue-robed old man leading the group snorted coldly before drawing a sword. Boundless sword Qi together with the power of the world swept through the place.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Like sweeping through brittle branches, the sword Qi instantly eliminated all of Xiao Chen’s clones, leaving only the distant main body.
“Chase!”
The four old men’s figures flashed, heading in the direction Xiao Chen had taken, chasing with all their might.
A Small Perfection quasi-Emperor was someone who had solidified their Heavenly Laws, increasing the power of the world they could drive tenfold.
A Great Perfection quasi-Emperor was someone who had formed their Heavenly Seal and was working on condensing a soul in the Heavenly Seal and placing their own Spiritual Mark into it. They became one with the heavens and could use the power of the world as they pleased.
The four old men chasing Xiao Chen were all Great Perfection quasi-Emperors. They could use the power of the world as they pleased, controlling it freely.
As these old men flew, it seemed like their bodies did not move. Instead, it looked like the world was moving backward. When it came to movement, they were much better than Xiao Chen.
