Chapter 538: The Center of Tian Yuan World, Heavenly Emperor City.
In a mansion rich with Spiritual Qi that felt like a fairyland, Jiang Hongye and Wang Lao sat facing each other.
"I never expected the Xu Family could escape this disaster; it is truly unfathomable."
Jiang Hongye's beautiful eyes shifted, her tone filled with disbelief and astonishment.
In her view, with twelve Hegemonic Powers joining forces, two Emperor Realm Experts, and twenty-four Quasi-Emperor Realm Experts besieging Cang Continent, no living being in Cang Continent could have escaped this calamity.
Who would have thought that the Xu Family would manage to retreat completely unscathed right under the watchful eyes of those two Emperor Realm Experts and twenty-four Quasi-Emperor Realm Experts?
One must realize that two Hegemonic Powers, the Xuantian Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, were annihilated in this turmoil, yet the Xu Family was completely unharmed.
Afterward, the twelve Hegemonic Powers even arranged for numerous experts to track down the members of the Xu Family across the various continents of Tian Yuan World.
Yet, half a year has passed, and there is not a single clue, as if they had evaporated into thin air.
This made even Jiang Hongye have to admire the Xu Family's capability and Luck.
"Indeed, I didn't expect it either."
Wang Lao sighed with emotion, his heart filled more with relief.
That day, after receiving the news, he rushed to Cang Continent, wanting to warn the Xu Family, but he didn't expect that Cang Continent would already be surrounded by numerous Emperor Realm Experts.
He felt that even if he risked his life to charge in and tell the Xu Family, the outcome would be the same.
It was better to stay near Cang Continent; if any members of the Xu Family managed to escape by Luck, he could still lend a helping hand, saving whoever he could.
He never expected that the entire Xu Family would actually escape.
Thinking of this, Wang Lao sighed sorrowfully.
"It is a pity that Cang Continent is just gone like that…"
Wang Lao had deep feelings for Cang Continent; after all, it was his home, and many Prodigies had trained in their Divine Firmament Palace, which was equivalent to being his students.
Now, except for the Xu Family members, all living beings in Cang Continent were gone.
The entire continent was devastated, making it difficult for anyone to take root and survive for even hundreds of years, effectively becoming a no-man's-land.
How could Wang Lao not be sorrowful at such an outcome?
Jiang Hongye felt the same.
Although there was no one left in Cang Continent who had any connection to her, the Great Zhou Imperial Palace had still been there before, and now it too was destroyed, which meant her last remaining attachment was completely severed.
If the Alliance became too powerful, she would definitely take action and wipe them out!
"If the Xu Family can grow amidst such adversity, perhaps in the future they can rebuild Cang Continent and bring it back to the prosperous state of the ancient era," Wang Lao said with a look of hope.
He held the Xu Family's capabilities in high regard; after all, the entire Cang Continent had been flourishing under the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty, with a bright future ahead.
Jiang Hongye sighed, "In such adversity, they should focus on surviving first."
Although the twelve Hegemonic Powers, led by the Nie Family, were no longer mobilizing in full force to search the world for the Xu Family members, the hunt for them had not ceased; it had simply shifted to the shadows.
It was possible that in some small city on an obscure continent, a group of Saint Realm experts were tracking the traces of the Xu Family members.
"Indeed, I wonder where they are now…"
Wang Lao could never have imagined that, in fact, his disciple Xu Luo was currently near the continent where Heavenly Emperor City was located.
Xu Luo could have completely contacted Wang Lao through a Jade Slip, but he did not do so.
Although Wang Lao was his Master and had always been good to him and the Xu Family, doing so carried too much risk.
Once Xu Luo was discovered, it would be fine if he encountered Saint Realm experts, but if he encountered Emperor Realm Experts, there would be no chance to fight back or escape.
If he were caught and his soul searched, neither he nor the Xu Family members would survive.
Therefore, for the safety of himself and his Family, Xu Luo could not contact anyone.
He could only change his appearance and, with a new identity, continue to travel across the continents of Tian Yuan World with Xu Qiufeng, searching for Opportunities suitable for them.
In just half a year, the disguised and incognito Xu Hao had infiltrated the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild under the identity of a consultant.
Xu Chu had also gone to a strange city, changing his appearance and going incognito.
Moreover, his disguise was better than anyone else's.
Coupled with the fact that he had always been low-key in the Xu Family and was not a primary target for the Alliance's hunt, the probability of him being discovered was extremely low.
Xu Chu prepared to enter a restaurant under the Wangyue Pavilion as a winemaker.
Xu Muge, Xu Ying, and Xu Chen arrived at the Central Continent, the center of Tian Yuan World.
This was the largest, most prosperous, and liveliest continent in Tian Yuan World, and also the place where the Immortal Seeking Abode would appear in the future.
The Central Continent did not belong to any single Hegemonic Power, but every Hegemonic Power had a city of its own here, so it could be said that experts gathered here.
The Central Continent had a total of twenty major cities belonging to the Twenty Hegemonic Powers; if these major cities were connected, they would form a perfect circle.
At the center of the circle was the largest city in the Central Continent, which was also the largest, most populous, and most prosperous city in the entire Tian Yuan World, and it was directly named Tian Yuan City.
After the twelve Hegemonic Powers, led by the Nie Family, annihilated the Xuantian Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace, the major cities in the Central Continent that belonged to these two powers were subsequently divided and controlled by them.
However, they never expected that the ultimate goal of the war and turmoil they had launched—the two Immortal Bodies—had now quietly infiltrated Tian Yuan City in the Central Continent.
It could be said they were right under their noses.
Of course, Xu Muge and Xu Ying came here only because the Immortal Seeking Abode would appear here, not because the most dangerous place is the safest; after all, that would be too risky.
Besides the two of them, there was also Xu Chen, who had also arrived slowly at Tian Yuan City from another direction.
Xu Chen was not traveling alone; beside him was a young man with a slender and upright figure and sharp eyes.
This person was none other than the Overturning Sea Flood Dragon, Hai Yuanbai, whom Xu Luo and the other two had subdued previously.
In his past life, Hai Yuanbai was an Emperor Realm Expert.
Previously, they had traveled together to Seven Kings City and stayed in a high-grade blessed land.
They had inadvertently offended Xiang Zhantian, and in order to successfully make a Breakthrough to the Great Saint Realm, Hai Yuanbai had to leave Seven Kings City and subsequently traveled across various continents.
This time, after Xu Chen came out, he happened to run into him.
Hai Yuanbai's destination was also here, so they traveled together.
Hai Yuanbai was indeed a Prodigy who could grow to the Emperor Realm in the future and even had a chance to transform into a Dragon.
After leaving Seven Kings City, he had encountered many fortuitous Opportunities along the way, and now he was already at the sixth level of the Great Saint Realm.
Moreover, he had only broken through to the Great Saint Realm after leaving Seven Kings City, so his speed from the Great Saint Realm to the sixth level of the Great Saint Realm was even slightly faster than that of Xu Luo, Xu Chen, and Xu Qiufeng.
The gate of Tian Yuan City was like a ten-thousand-foot-tall peak, reaching straight into the clouds, with the city wall on one side stretching for a million miles.
After entering the bustling Tian Yuan City, Hai Yuanbai couldn't help but sigh.
"This Tian Yuan City is truly worthy of its reputation."
Xu Chen nodded, thinking to himself that if Ascension City were still around, one day in the future, it would definitely be even more magnificent than this Tian Yuan City.
