"Su Chen, you are really..."
Lan Xinyi looked at him and shook her head, saying.
"What's wrong?"
Su Chen didn't take it too seriously and said casually.
"What do you an what's wrong?"
Lan Xinyi pouted slightly and said in annoyance:
"If Zhou Hao had really made a move just now, you would have been in big trouble!"
"By then, you might have lost your life here before even finding a single treasure!"
"Yes, yes, Miss Xinyi makes a good point!"
Su Chen grinned cheekily and bowed with a smile:
"Thanks a lot for your help earlier, Miss Xinyi. A beauty saving a hero; otherwise, this hero might have turned into a fool!"
"Pffft!"
Lan Xinyi laughed out loud at his words and then spat:
"What a silly hero-saving-beauty story, sounds awful!"
Seeing her suddenly coy expression, Su Chen laughed, and then the group continued to move forward.
"Mr. Su, what is your actual cultivation realm?"
After a while, Lan Xinyi suddenly asked.
She knew that Su Chen's strength couldn't be as simple as the ridian Expansion Eighth Layer!
"What do you think?"
Su Chen glanced at Lan Xinyi and smiled slightly.
"Half-Step Kaiyuan?"
Lan Xinyi also glanced at Su Chen and asked tentatively.
To be honest, she thought calling it Half-Step Kaiyuan was already quite high, considering he seed to be only at the ridian Expansion Eighth Layer!
There are two minor realms between that and the Half-Step Kaiyuan, and it's not easy to cross them!
But the strength Su Chen displayed earlier made her think this way!
"That's about right."
Su Chen chuckled nonchalantly.
He thought, if he revealed that his cultivation had reached the Kaiyuan Primary Stage and he even had the strength to defeat soone at the Kaiyuan Middle Stage, would he be seen as boasting?
Even so, it was enough to stun Lan Xinyi!
After all, it was just speculation before, but when she heard Su Chen confirm reaching Half-Step Kaiyuan, she found it incredible!
She had never seen or heard of anyone at the ridian Expansion Eighth Realm having reached the Half-Step Kaiyuan cultivation!
The two chatted idly and continued to walk forward, with the rest of the Yunhai Hall mbers following behind. Along the way, they crossed several rivers and swamps!
Of course, they also encountered other groups searching for treasure in the relics.
The relics were in the deepest part of the mountain range, and since the Heavenly Profound Mountain Range was quite large, reaching it was not quick!
Luckily, there was no rush, and it took them two days to finally reach a point around sixty to seventy kiloters from the relics' outskirts.
"Miss Xinyi, how about we separate here?"
Su Chen suggested.
"Sounds good."
Lan Xinyi nodded.
She knew that splitting up was inevitable. After all, with so many people in their group, how would they decide who gets a treasure if they found one?
If she were alone, it wouldn't be a big deal to split it evenly, but how could her companions agree?
Though she was the eldest daughter of Yunhai Hall, she couldn't ignore her companions' opinions and ideas.
No matter how they divided the treasures, it might not be suitable.
To avoid conflicts, it's better to separate for now.
"But Mr. Su, you should be careful, don't act rashly if you et other forces like earlier."
Lan Xinyi advised.
In her view, Su Chen was great in other respects, but just a bit too arrogant!
Earlier, when they t those from the Liewu Sect, if not for her, those people wouldn't have let him off for speaking like that.
Of course, she knew that the Liewu Sect targeted Su Chen because of her.
But his unwillingness to compromise might cause trouble!
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Xinyi, I understand."
Su Chen smiled, acknowledging her goodwill, and didn't feel the need to reject it.
However, for Su Chen, he didn't seek trouble, but he never feared it either!
After parting ways with Lan Xinyi, Su Chen headed in another direction.
At this mont, a playful smile appeared at the corner of Lan Haifeng's mouth...
.....
Su Chen casually swung a stick at the surrounding flowers and tree branches, humming an unknown tune to himself.
His deanor didn't resemble soone on a treasure hunt, but more like a leisurely outing.
As for directions, being here, even without a map, he wouldn't get lost, as long as he continued moving forward.
Currently, a stream flowed alongside the direction where Su Chen was headed; it wasn't very wide, just three or four ters across!
Approaching the deepest part of the Heavenly Profound Mountain Range, it wasn't like earlier, where the roar of beasts occasionally sounded, but instead, a quiet and eerie atmosphere prevailed, only with the sound of flowing water!
But as he walked, the stream veered in another direction, its source and destination remaining unknown.
Su Chen continued ahead, and as he walked further, the sound of the stream gradually lessened until it disappeared...
"Brother Su!"
Just then, Su Chen seed to hear soone calling him.
So he stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction where the voice ca from.
Soon, he saw soone running toward him, with four or five others following behind!
"Brother Su, it really is you!"
A sowhat chubby man ran up to him and exclaid in delight.
"Brother Zhu, long ti no see."
Seeing who it was, Su Chen smiled and said.
The man who ran over was none other than Zhu Family's Young Master, Zhu Ming, whom he t last ti at Thousand Clouds Mountain.
"Brother Su, are you also here treasure hunting in the relics?"
Zhu Ming asked, but before Su Chen could answer, he slapped his forehead with a laugh:
"Look at the question I asked, what else would you be doing here if not for treasure hunting."
"Indeed."
Su Chen just nodded with a smile, not saying much more in response to his self-question.
"By the way, after you killed Song Chu and the others last ti, I was worried for you for a long ti. I never thought you also killed a disciple from the Heavenly Thunder Sect. I was shocked when I heard the news!"
Zhu Ming said in a low voice.
Zhu Ming was indeed very worried at that ti since Su Chen had looked out for him before.
But he forgot to exchange contact information with Su Chen before leaving, so he had no way to ask about the situation.
Wanting to help was beyond his capability!
"Thank you for the concern, but as you can see, I'm doing just fine now."
Su Chen smiled and said.
"Strange, didn't they cause you any trouble?"
Zhu Ming furrowed his brow slightly and said:
"But they should have!"
In Zhu Ming's mind, if those people had really gone after Su Chen, there was no way he would still be unhard!
However, given their capabilities, finding Su Chen didn't seem too difficult.
While he was worried, there wasn't much he could do.
As he was pondering this with slight confusion, a few people from behind him approached...
