Chapter 248: Pursued by Two Emperors, King Mings Immortal Mansion

Just then, a familiar voice appeared.

"Kid, you're in big trouble."

Elder Xuan's voice rang out in Zhou Chen's mind.

"Elder Xuan?"

Zhou Chen was overjoyed. "Where are you?"

"Thirty miles ahead, there's a cave. I'll wait for you here."

Zhou Chen immediately changed direction, pulling Miao Dandan along as they rushed toward the cave.

Soon, they arrived at a hidden cave.

Elder Xuan was currently sitting cross-legged inside to Cultivate. Seeing the mark on the back of Zhou Chen's hand, his expression turned solemn.

"As expected, it's the Heavenly Secret Clan's tracking technique."

"The Heavenly Secret Clan again?"

"Yes, they are the most mysterious Emperor Clan, skilled in calculating heavenly secrets and tracking arts."

Elder Xuan explained, "The mark on your hand was left behind by the Heavenly Secret Clan's divination. As long as you're within ten thousand miles, they can quickly lock onto your position."

"Then what should I do?"

Zhou Chen's face looked a bit grim.

"There are two ways."

Elder Xuan said, "First, Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm and use the power of the Emperor Realm to erase the mark. Second, run, as far as you can. Third, hide in a special place."

"What kind of special place?" Zhou Chen asked.

"Immortal mansions, Secret Realms, Forbidden Lands."

Elder Xuan said, "These places have special rules, and the Heavenly Secret Clan's tracking arts will basically fail there. However, Secret Realms are not that easy to find…"

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Finding a Secret Realm might be difficult for others, but for Zhou Chen, who had the opportunity panel, it was child's play.

He immediately pulled up everyone's opportunity panel to investigate, and in the recent opportunities, he discovered Han Li's trail.

[Name: Han Li]

[Recent Opportunity: Seven days later, in the Far North of the Eastern Wasteland, King Mings Immortal Mansion will emerge. Han Li will enter the immortal mansion and eventually obtain the King Ming Legacy…]

"King Mings Immortal Mansion?!"

Zhou Chen's heart stirred.

He continued to check the detailed information and found that King Mings Immortal Mansion not only had special rules but also restricted anyone above the Emperor Realm Third Layer from entering!

"Hmm? Isn't this the perfect hiding spot?"

Zhou Chen immediately felt confident.

"Elder Xuan, I think I have a place to go."

"Where?"

"King Mings Immortal Mansion."

Zhou Chen said, "In seven days, in the Far North of the Eastern Wasteland, a King Mings Immortal Mansion will emerge. Those above the Emperor Realm Third Layer cannot enter, making it the perfect place for me to hide."

"King Mings Immortal Mansion?"

Surprise flashed in Elder Xuan's eyes. "How do you know that?"

"I have my ways."

Zhou Chen smiled and didn't explain, but when he looked at Miao Dandan, he quickly wiped the smile off his face.

"Dandan, next I'm going to King Mings Immortal Mansion to hide from the pursuit. It will be very dangerous if you follow me."

"Master…"

Miao Dandan's eyes began to redden.

"Follow Elder Xuan for now. Wait until I come out of the immortal mansion, then I'll come find you."

Zhou Chen patted her head.

"But…"

"No buts."

Zhou Chen interrupted her, "It's really dangerous this time. Being hunted by two great Emperor Clans, I can still manage on my own. If I bring you, you'll only hold me back."

Although the words were harsh, Miao Dandan knew Zhou Chen was doing it for her own good.

"Okay, I'll listen to Master."

She nodded obediently.

"Elder Xuan, I'll leave Dandan in your care."

"Don't worry, this old man will protect her well."

Elder Xuan nodded.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath, turned, and left the cave.

Behind him, Miao Dandan watched his back, and tears finally couldn't help but fall.

"Master, you must return safely…"

In the Far North of the Eastern Wasteland, the wilderness was covered in ice and snow everywhere. It took Zhou Chen a full six days to arrive.

At this moment, he stood on an ice mountain, gazing into the distance.

According to the System display, King Mings Immortal Mansion would emerge in one day, at a location five hundred miles ahead.

A day passed quickly.

The people hunting him were everywhere, more and more of them, densely packed.

But relying on the Divine Concealment Art and his familiarity with the terrain, Zhou Chen evaded their searches time and again.

One day later.

In the Far North, a world-shaking explosion suddenly rang out.

The ice and snow burst apart, and a majestic palace rose from beneath the ground, emitting a terrifying pressure.

On the palace were four large, elegantly written characters: King Mings Immortal Mansion.

Countless Cultivators who were still searching for Zhou Chen's trail began to swarm from all directions, their eyes full of greed and excitement.

Zhou Chen also blended into the crowd, quietly approaching the entrance of the immortal mansion.

But just then—

A terrifying Aura suddenly descended from the sky, locking onto Zhou Chen.

"Azure Lotus Dao Venerable, I've caught you!"

Before the person even arrived, Jiang Wudao's voice already echoed in mid-air, carrying a hint of cruelty. Leading dozens of Jiang Family experts, he charged aggressively toward Zhou Chen.

On the other side, Ying Tianji also arrived with the Ying Family's Emperor Realm experts.

The two great Emperor Clans surrounded Zhou Chen completely. No matter how one looked at it, it was a dead end!

"It's over…"

The surrounding Cultivators retreated one after another, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

However, facing this situation, Zhou Chen calmly revealed a slight smile.

He looked at the immortal mansion's entrance close at hand, then at the experts from the two great Emperor Clans surrounding him, feeling completely at ease.

"Want to catch me? Keep dreaming!"

Then, Zhou Chen's figure flashed as he charged straight for the immortal mansion's entrance.

"Stop him!"

Jiang Wudao and Ying Tianji attacked simultaneously. Terrifying attacks blasted toward Zhou Chen from thousands of miles away.

Rumble!

The terrifying might seemed as if it would snap the Void Realm in half. Some unlucky Cultivators were even instantly vaporized, not even having time to scream.

If he were hit by this attack, Zhou Chen would probably be finished.

Fortunately, Zhou Chen was too fast, and the immortal mansion's entrance was right in front of him.

"Taiyi Golden Light Step!"

Zhou Chen directly unleashed his Sword Domain. While accelerating himself, he blocked the attacks from behind and vanished into the immortal mansion's gate.

"Dammit!"

Jiang Wudao and Ying Tianji tried to chase him inside, but as soon as they got close, the entrance of King Mings Immortal Mansion suddenly erupted with a terrifying pressure, instantly sending them flying.

"Limited to below the Emperor Realm Third Layer. Trespassers will die!!"

A cold voice echoed outside the immortal mansion's entrance.

The two of them looked livid. They didn't dare to gamble and could only watch helplessly as Zhou Chen escaped from right under their noses.

"Everyone, hear my command! All those at the Emperor Realm and above, but below the Emperor Realm Third Layer, enter King Mings Immortal Mansion. The primary goal is to hunt down the Azure Lotus Sword Venerable. If it's impossible, don't force it."

Jiang Wudao immediately gave the order, and the people around him responded one after another. Ying Tianji gave the same command.

Over a hundred Emperor Realm experts from both clans filed in one by one.

Emperor Realm experts were already core figures of the Emperor Clans, vital to the future stability and development of the clans. Every loss would be hard for the Emperor Clans to bear.

That was why they were given the authority to act as they saw fit.

Inside King Mings Immortal Mansion.

Zhou Chen surveyed the surrounding environment—forests, mountains, rivers, vast oceans, lakes, and so on; everything was there.

It seemed no different from the outside world, vast and stretching as far as the eye could see.

Although there was no sun in the sky, it was just as bright as the outside world.

However, what surprised Zhou Chen was that the quality of the Spiritual Qi here was actually concentrated into Innate Spiritual Qi.
