Chapter 545 - Pursuit

Lan Ling’er was not the only one who had heard Jian Chen; Long Chen had as well. However, Long Chen was in a critical moment right now, so he could not be distracted. He knew that the others would deal with it. He was grateful to have met them, because without their protection, he wouldn’t have been able to use the Emperor Flame Pearl in peace, nor would he have escaped the Demon Emperor’s grasp.

He was puzzled because they had made their way deep into the mountain range, so why would someone disturb them this soon?

Although the nine suns would remain for two hours, only fifteen minutes had passed. Maybe these people were initially in the Swirling Cloud Mountains and were coming over after seeing the commotion Long Chen was causing?

The pursuers came from the direction of the valley entrance, and they entered confidently in broad daylight. Long Chen was focusing on the last Emperor Flame Pearl, but he managed to take a quick glance in their direction. Three people had appeared in front of Jian Chen and Lan Ling’er!

The three of them were wearing the Martial Alliance’s golden brocade robes. Two men, one woman, and all three were older than Jian Chen. They clearly had very high positions in the Martial Alliance, because their clothing was identical to Martial King Qin’s clothing. This meant they were at least the same rank as him!

Most importantly, there were three of them!

And on Long Chen’s side, there were only two!

Jian Chen and Lan Ling’er’s faces changed slightly when they saw the trio. Long Chen was also slightly nervous, though he was clear that no matter how powerful his enemies were, he had to complete the task at hand!

Remain calm! The most important thing is to remain calm right now! Third Brother is a Sword Warrior and he is at the peak of the First Earthly Martial Stage! He will be able to hold the two of them off for a while, and once I succeed, I will be able to help ease his burden! This was what Long Chen thought.

He initially assumed that they would be regular cultivators, the kind who entered the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range to hunt demonic beasts. Who would’ve thought that they would be from the Martial Alliance?

There’s no chance three Martial Alliance members would be strolling around the Swirling Cloud Mountain Range for no reason. It’s very likely our location was exposed and they had long arrived here to search for us. But because the area is too large, they only came after the commotion I caused by using the Emperor Flame Pearl!

They hadn’t met anyone on the way here, so who could have leaked their location?

The only person they met was the man who was attacked by the beast.

It must’ve been him. A man’s greed knows no bounds! We saved his life and he paid us back by stabbing us in the back. It looks like the Divine Martial Empire is not the Cangyang Kingdom. I must not be that naive ever again.

Let’s ignore everything else and focus on opening my heaven meridian point!

One of the worries that burdened Jian Chen was eased when he saw that Long Chen was still able to focus. He was not worried about Long Chen making a mistake. He and Lan Ling'er locked eyes and he said, “That woman is the Flower Martial King. She’s very good at seducing men, but her strength is only average. You deal with her. It’s best if you kill her as soon as possible. I’ll take the other two!”

“Third Brother, are you sure you can handle two Martial Kings?” Lan Ling'er asked with a frown.

“We’ll just have to do our best. Long Chen’s safety is the priority. He’s young, and he’s our brother. We must protect him till the end!” Jian Chen said coldly as he gazed at the approaching Martial Kings.

Lan Ling'er hesitated, but all she could do was agree.

Jian Chen could hold off two Earthly Martial Realm cultivators, but she could not.

The woman’s eyes shone with greed the moment she saw Jian Chen, her gaze fixed on his body. “It is indeed the Sword Martial King! I didn’t believe it in the beginning, but it really is you! Look at you; such a handsome man who betrayed the Martial Alliance! If you follow me back to the Martial Alliance and listen to me, you might even be able to keep your life! Of course, I will reward you very generously too.”

“Flower Martial King, Jian Chen has betrayed the Martial Alliance. Even if he wanted to return, he would be executed,” reminded the Martial King next to her.

“I know. Do you really have to tell me?” Flower Martial King rolled her eyes, then her gaze fell on Long Chen behind Jian Chen. She chuckled. “What a handsome young man! Yet you choose to go against the Martial Alliance. I can play with you first, then I’ll kill you. It’s time! Let’s fight! We’ll make a huge contribution to the Martial Alliance today!”

The woman’s mood changed instantly. In the beginning, she was flirting with Jian Chen and even seemed interested in Long Chen, but then killing intent suddenly appeared in her eyes. She looked like a venomous snake.

Long Chen was at the most critical juncture, so he could not attack. It would be very bad if he was forced to stop cultivating. The two male Martial Kings locked eyes, exchanging vicious looks. Then one of them charged at Jian Chen and the other at Lan Ling’er!

“You’re nothing, yet you think you can beat us?” Jian Chen chuckled coldly and took a step forward. A white sword appeared in his hand. It was a sword, but a more accurate description was a sword-shaped jade because it was made of a material similar to jade—translucent, reflective, and beautiful!

However, it had a cold, sharp glint. It was much sharper than regular swords forged from metal!

“Is that a King-tier Cloud Sword? That belongs to the Martial Alliance, so we'll take it back to the Martial Alliance today!” The Flower Martial King trembled as she giggled.

She thought she would not need to do anything, but to her shock, Jian Chen stopped the two Martial Kings with the Cloud Sword!

“One against two? You’re too bold!” mocked the Flower Martial King.

The woman was as charming as Lan Ling’er, but Lan Ling'er had a charm unique to a young woman, so it was more conservative. Her charm was fleeting, and only present in a sudden movement or smile. The Flower Martial King was different; her seductiveness came with her aura that radiated in all directions.

Lan Ling'er hated women like that.

“Die, bitch!” With a whoosh, Lan Ling'er ran past the two Martial Kings and arrived in front of the Flower Martial King.

“The Ever-Changing Demon Girl! You dare insult me, you lowly scum?!”

Very beautiful women were natural enemies!

Although the fight between them started later, the intensity surpassed Jian Chen’s battle!

Long Chen was not worried about Lan Ling'er, but he was worried about Jian Chen. Although Jian Chen was powerful and one of them was no match for him, fighting two opponents was a different matter!

Watching a battle between Earthly Martial-Realm cultivators would be very beneficial to Long Chen, but he had no time to watch. He only had a rough gauge of the situation, and to his relief, Jian Chen seemed like he would be able to hold on for a while.

The heaven meridian point was located between his eyebrows.

The last Emperor Flame Pearl brought with it the power of the true sun. It sank into the point between his eyebrows, then it melted into a liquid.

The three meridians form a triangle. My level of talent is the highest possible. Long Chen was satisfied with the position of the heaven meridian point as it proved that he was more talented than others.

He guided the energy from the Emperor Flame Pearl to open the heaven meridian point.

Once it was opened, he would be able to fly.

Suddenly, he froze.

He was completely stunned.

Because the final Emperor Flame Pearl had disappeared in his body.

What’s going on? What happened? Where did the heaven meridian point go? This was an unexpected twist because how could the heaven meridian point suddenly go missing?

Amidst his shock, he suddenly heard a boom.

The point that should have been his heaven meridian point, also the point where the eighteen starry rivers in his body connected, suddenly became illusory. Long Chen entered the illusory point and found that it opened up into a space. Wasn’t this his sea of consciousness?

The Ancient Dragon Jade was still at the center of the sea of consciousness. The remaining Ancient Bloodsoul Dragon blood was still suppressed beneath it, and it remained unmoved.

Why would Qi containing energy with physical properties connect to the sea of consciousness? Long Chen was puzzled.

It was at this point that he noticed a pearl. It was the Emperor Flame Pearl!

He watched in shock as the pearl slowly morphed into what looked like a meridian point. Two starry veins that had turned illusory connected to the newly formed meridian point, then golden energy poured out of it. It passed through the two illusory starry veins to connect to the eight main meridian points outside!

How is this possible? My heaven meridian point appeared in my sea of consciousness!

Long Chen was in disbelief.

The heaven meridian point was a physical point. How could it have formed in his sea of consciousness?

However, the dragon jade and the Inherited Blood Essence were also physical objects that were stored in his sea of consciousness.

There were all sorts of strange things in this world. After the initial shock, he recovered immediately because he knew that this was a good thing. It did not matter where the heaven meridian point was—he could just progress as usual, right?
