A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 62: Retrea (1/2)

Chapter 62: Retreat

Back outside the luo suddenly flickered It took on a slightly ethereal quality, as if it had suddenly turned illusory

That was how Gu Qingluo knew that Su Chen’s main body had returned

“Is it done?” she asked

“It’s done,” Su Chen replied succinctly

“Then we should leave as soon as we can”

“We’re not in a hurry In any case, we still need to provide the Oceanids with an explanation,” Su Chen replied

As he spoke, he activated a recording Origin Formation and pointed it at the statue

The statue then exploded; waves of fla chunks ofin all directions

Su Chen had prepared a couple different items beforehand, all to deal with the Deep Sea Sorrow

One of those preparations was explosive medicines

The statue’s explosion was recorded by a nuin Formations They would serve as Su Chen’s explanation to the Oceanids ⁠— after all, they didn’t need to know exactly what kind of object the Deep Sea Sorroas for him to complete his end of the deal

“ROAR!”

The massive explosion had alerted the Sea Beasts below The Sovereigns surfaced, howling with rage and terror

The ceasing of the Spring of I rong, but because it had happened so quickly, they had not been able to figure out rong But now, they could clearly see that their precious water source had been destroyed

The Sovereigns standing guard si auras to the li at the island froardless of whether someone was actually there or not, they would worry about it afterwards

When faced with the iluo’s eyes fleide open as the shi+ning Dragon aura began to surge within her body

The thick, iin Beast blanketed the entire area, directly suppressing the o!”

Su Chen retrieved the recording Origin Forh her shi+ning Dragon Bloodline was powerful, it couldn’t be activated for too long

As the two of theluo restrained her aura

As soon as the shi+ning Dragon’s ns resuns lacked intelligence, so their actions were extreer, they would quaver with fear If their opponent eaker, they would give chase

True Origin Beasts were always powerful beyond in Beast

Gu Qingluo, however, was not a genuine Origin Beast

Thus, as soon as the shi+ning Dragon Bloodline’s power disappeared, the Sovereigns resuluo

Whenever Gu Qingluo reactivated her aura, the Sovereigns would obediently retreat

But once Gu Qingluo restrained her aura, they would continue their chase with renewed vigor

As such, a strange galuo flew across the surface of the sea Behind thens alternated between ferociously giving chase and fearfully shrinking back, as if they were a pack of hyenas searching for the right opportunity to attack Their innate greed and fear conflicted with one another, e the ebb and flow of an actual hunt

However, Gu Qingluo’s shi+ning Dragon Bloodline had a limited amount of power, so she could not sustain the release of her aura for too long

“Hold on! Just a bit longer and we’ll be out of here,” Su Chen said

Su Chen’s clone was at the entrance Once they got close enough, he would be able to directly teleport Gu Qingluo there along with him

Even so, at that ood!”

Gu Qingluo was startled “What is it?”

“My clone was destroyed,” Su Chen replied griluo’s expression also shi+fted, but not out of concern for herself “Is the fleet in danger?”

Su Chen’s clone had been waiting within the floating palace for safety If the clone within the palace had been destroyed, then didn’t that mean that the fleet was about to crumble?

Su Chen, however, shook his head “No, the Sovereigns didn’t kill it”

“Then……”

“It was killed by one of the sect’s disciples!” Su Chen replied

Su Chen’s clone was linked to his h his consciousness, and Su Chen had been able to clearly see one of the Boundless Sect’s disciples sneak in and assassinate his clone

The Boundless Sect’s disciples were all staunchly loyal, and the ones who had been selected to be his personal guards had been selected from the best of the best

Even so, soed to sneak in and unleash a sneak attack against him

The Astrals?

Or was it a spy that the Bloodline nobility Clans had planted?

Su Chen didn’t know

But he did know that their opponent had chosen the best opportunity to strike at his ns were still chasing after theon Bloodline poas starting to run dry At this pace, there was no way for theh to make it back to the fleet
