Chapter 804 (2/2)

“Heavens, you encountered Xue You? And you almost killed him? Boss, you really know how to live a life,” said Guo Ran wors.h.i.+pfully .

“You know Xue You?” Long Chen was surprised .

“I heard about him from some Corrupt experts . In their Eastern Wasteland’s Corrupt path, there are two supreme geniuses . They are their future leaders . One is called the Corrupt King, while the other is called the Devil Empress . The Corrupt King is Xue You . He is acclaimed as an undefeatable heavenly genius, and ever since joining the Corrupt path, anyone who has exchanged blows with him has died . But since you almost took his life, I’d say that you’re the undefeatable heavenly genius,” said Guo Ran .

Originally, he had been thinking of warning Long Chen to be careful about the Corrupt path . He hadn’t expected that Long Chen was already acquainted with that expert and had almost taken his life .

“It was just a coincidence . If we were competing in terms of combat abilities, it’s still unknown who would defeat who . But he is definitely the most terrifying opponent I’ve encountered so far . I trust he has many shocking trump cards that he hasn’t used yet . ”

Long Chen felt a great deal of pressure toward Xue You’s inexhaustible trump cards . Xue You was a truly peerless expert .

“That’s right, who is that Devil Empress?” asked Long Chen .

“All I know is that her name is Leng Yueyan . Apparently, she is so beautiful that birds fall out of the sky and rivers flow backward . Her fierce methods cause even devils to shudder, ghosts to cry, and G.o.ds to weep . She’s just as famous as the Corrupt King,” said Guo Ran .

“Birds to fall out of the sky and rivers to flow backward? Can beauty do that?” said Long Chen contemptuously .

“Cough, my meaning is just that her beauty is indescribable . Don’t be so picky . You know I’m not very learned,” said Guo Ran awkwardly .

“If she’s just as famous as Xue You, she should also be an expert on that level . ” Long Chen frowned . Just Xue You was terrifying enough . Now a Leng Yueyan had appeared . That made him feel like the pressure on him had increased once again . Moreover, the Corrupt path was his mortal enemy .

The two of them were traveling as they talked . They eventually arrived at a dried-up riverbed . The ground was covered in cracks, a ghastly sight .

The riverbed continued endlessly . Long Chen finally realized why this place was called Insect Island . Before the Immemorial Path had crumbled, there must have been a lake here .

“There are people up ahead,” said Guo Ran suddenly .

Long Chen looked to see quite a few people rus.h.i.+ng forward like them . They were actually also moving toward Insect Island .

From their robes, there were both Righteous and Corrupt disciples . There were also some disciples from ancient families . They were independent existences of their own . It was just that they were incomparably arrogant and rarely interacted with the rest of the world .

“Boss, we should hurry up . Otherwise, the treasure will be taken by others,” said Guo Ran worriedly .

“Grow a brain . Insect Island is a trial region . Although I don’t know the exact details, you definitely have to pa.s.s the trial to get the reward . It’s not a matter of who gets there first . Furthermore, the fact that they’re scouting ahead for us is a good thing . They can test the waters while we watch . ” Long Chen slowed down with Guo Ran .

But Long Chen was a bit surprised to see more and more people as they went deeper in . He hastily took out the map he had obtained from the Corrupt disciples .

He immediately found why there were so many people here . This place had long since been marked by everyone . He had forgotten to check this map with the map the Xiao tribe had given him .

If he had known this many people were coming, he would have chosen a different spot . With this many people, he wouldn’t just have to worry about pa.s.sing the trial, but also about being attacked by others . It was a waste of time and effort .

But since he was already here, he decided to continue . The other reason he had chosen Insect Island was because the Xiao tribe’s leader had specifically told him that it was very strange . Their people were only able to observe it from the outside . They didn’t dare to enter, because it was a trial that cursed them heavily .

Eventually, a mountain appeared . That should be the so-called Insect Island . But the lake had disappeared, so the island had become a mountain .

Long Chen hadn’t expected it to be so large . From the outside, it looked to be several thousand miles wide . But it was completely desolate, and there wasn’t a single blade of gra.s.s growing on it .

Looking at that desolate island, for some unknown reason, Long Chen felt a bit uneasy . He kept feeling like this island was strange . But since he had already come here, he had to go in and at least take a look .

When Long Chen and Guo Ran stepped onto the island, they saw several corpses . They looked like the corpses of Corrupt experts . Their weapons and spatial rings were gone .

After traveling some more, they found more corpses . This time, their robes were from the Righteous path . As before, their weapons and spatial rings were gone .

After pa.s.sing a ridge, they saw two more people . But they were alive and healthy . They raised their weapons icily at Long Chen and Guo Ran .

“This area is ours! If you’re smart, you’ll immediately scram!”
