<h4>Chapter 1203: Treasure Sabers, Seven Deadly Sins</h4>


    Xiao Chen rather valued the cultivation experience of the Thunder Emperor, which were records that detailed his cultivation after he had reached Martial Emperor.


    Martial Emperors already stood at the top of this world. As for information about Martial Emperor, be it the cultivation, their Martial Techniques, or destructive power, others would find it difficult to understand without reaching that cultivation realm and entering that circle.


    With the Thunder Emperor’s cultivation experience, Xiao Chen would get a peek into what the circle of Martial Emperors was like in advance.


    However, no matter how disinterested Xiao Chen was, any single item here would fetch an astronomical price at an auction.


    As Xiao Chen walked around, he listened to Ao Jiao’s exnation. Then, he would nod and sweep the item into his Universe Ring.


    “This is a set of treasure sabers known as the Seven Deadly Sins. Individually, they are Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust. All of them are Divine Weapons. Back then, Sang Mu spent a lot of effort to defeat their original master and obtained this set of sabers.”


    “Not bad. With the seven Divine Weapons together, they are probably as mighty as a Transcendent Divine Weapon. They are truly good items. I’ll keep them!”


    “This is a Snow Ginseng King that lived for fifty thousand years. It can allow a Martial Emperor to increase their cultivation by one hundred year’s worth of cultivating. Back then, Sang Mu snatched this from right under the noses of a group of Sovereign Martial Emperors.”


    “To think that it can even increase the cultivation of Martial Emperors. It is truly deserving of being an herb king! I’ll keep it.”


    “This is a Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique. Unfortunately, it is a Sword Technique, so you cannot learn it.”


    “Haha! It is not unfortunate. There are more people in the world using swords than sabers. It can fetch an astronomical price. I’ll keep it!”


    “This medallion seemed to be an ancestral keepsake of some Rank 9 sect. I’m not sure if this sect still exists or not.”


    “Ancestral keepsake? Then it should not be an ordinary item. I’ll keep it.”


    “This is Soul Charming Grass. It is a peak grade divine herb for nourishing the soul. Simrly, it has a high value as well. Hehe! However, you cannot keep this. I want this.”


    ---


    By the time Ao Jiao finished all her exnations, not a single treasure remained in the cave. Xiao Chen already ced all of them in his Universe Ring.


    Although he could not use many of the items now, or even in the future, they were all things that were worth cities. Just one of them would bring in an unimaginable profit.


    All of the treasures in the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance were top-notch. The loss of any one of them would be regrettable.


    The items with the greatest practical use for Xiao Chen were naturally the Innate Thunder Crystal and the Death Fruit. The former had near-infinite energy. Even he did not know what its limits were. If he could finish consuming it, how strong would his will of thunder be?


    Perhaps he might be able to solidify his will of thunder before he advanced to Martial Emperor, forming his own Innate Thunder Crystal.


    As for thetter, its practicality went without saying; it was one of the two items necessary for cultivating the Life and Death Art.


    Ao Jiao looked around the empty cave. Then, she sighed somewhat speechlessly. From here on, thergest mark that the Thunder Emperor left on this world would be gone.


    “Xiao Chen, I would like to stay here for a little longer,” Ao Jiao said.


    Xiao Chen nodded his head, indicating he understood. There was a saying, “when seeing the thing, one thinks of the person.” Having returned to this ce, Ao Jiao could not help thinking about the person and matters of the past.


    The Innate Thunder Crystalpletely shocked Xiao Chen; he needed to spend some time to properly digest it as well.


    As of now, it was very difficult for Xiao Chen to increase his cultivation. Hence, raising hisbat prowess was an exceedingly tough proposition. The Thunder Emperor’s Innate Thunder Crystal was like coal in winter to Xiao Chen.


    As Xiao Chen absorbed the energy in the Innate Thunder Crystal, he familiarized himself with the strengthened might of the lightning saber soul. So he was not bored with nothing to do.


    One hourter, Ao Jiao tossed the key into the cave and closed the heavy doors,pletely sealing the Thunder Emperor’s history behind these stone doors.


    As Xiao Chen opened his eyes, he was somewhat at a loss for words. He thought about the time he met the Thunder Emperor. Even so, that was not a true meeting but just a Spiritual Mark that the Thunder Emperor left behind.


    However, through this one meeting, Xiao Chen knew what kind of person the Thunder Emperor was. He felt that the Thunder Emperor’s death was extremely unfortunate.


    Xiao Chen swore in his heart to unravel the mystery and find the murderer of the Thunder Emperor one day, to kill that enemy who hid so deeply behind the scenes.


    Ao Jiao recovered some of her usual expression, putting on a faint smile. “Where to now? Are we going straight to arge merchant association to look for news about the Flower of Life, or are we going to the Su n first?”


    Xiao Chen did not hesitate to reply, “Let’s go to the Su n first. It is best to settle the thing that I promised them as soon as possible. I also want to know how far my strength is from a half-step Martial Emperor’s.”


    If nothing unexpected happened, Wang Feng would definitely tell the Wang n’s half-step Martial Emperor about his bitter experience at the Su n.


    Hence, Xiao Chen specially instructed the Su n to try and dy or run around if the half-step Martial Emperor came and not to sh head-on. They were to wait for him to return to deal with this.


    The Su n’s city was also built on a vast mountain range not too far from the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance. Without having to spend too much time, Xiao Chen rushed back to the City Lord’s Residence.


    The instant Xiao Chennded, he felt that something was wrong. There was not a single guard at the City Lord’s Residence’s entrance. The signboard of the City Lord’s Residence was also broken into two.


    The aura of a heavy battle lingered in the air. Xiao Chen’s expression changed as he quickly entered. In the end, he discovered that the City Lord’s Residence was deste.


    asionally, he had found bloodstains on the ground. The signs of battle were extremely obvious. However, the fight did not seem to have been too intense as the buildings of the City Lord’s Residence were still rtively intact.


    After searching the entire City Lord’s Residence, he did not see a single living person. However, there were no corpses, either. It looked extremely strange.


    Xiao Chen frowned and entered deep thought. The destruction in the City Lord’s Residence was not too severe, which meant that the battle did not take long. For the other party to be able to sweep through the entire Su n at such speed, there was only one possibility—the Wang n’s half-step Martial Emperor personally made a move. Aside from that, all the peak experts of the Wang n should have made a move as well.


    “Looks like I said something that I should not have. I hope that I did not cause any big trouble.”


    Before Xiao Chen let Wang Feng go, he had said that for every Su n member the Wang n killed, he would kill ten Wang n members.


    Perhaps these words angered the other party. In a situation where the other party did not know who Xiao Chen was, he might end up enraged.


    This was especially so for the half-step Martial Emperor expert of the Wang n. If he thought Xiao Chen to be a nameless brat of unknown origins, he might even up going to extremes.


    “You had best not have done anything foolish. I am not someone who jokes around.”


    Xiao Chen’s expression turned cold as he gazed at the empty City Lord’s Residence. After he said that with eyes brimming with murderous intent, he left the City Lord’s Residence with a sh.


    With such argemotion, the ordinary people in the city should know something.


    Now, Xiao Chen only wanted to know how the Su n members were doing. Were they dead or alive?


    Xiao Chen casually asked a passerby in the city. When the passerby heard Xiao Chen’s question, his expression changed greatly and appeared cautious.


    “You are asking about the Su n? How are you rted to them?”


    “I’m not rted to the Su n. I am just going to find a friend. However, when I went to the City Lord’s Residence, I found itpletely empty. Please help me out and tell me what happened.”


    The expression of that passerby caused Xiao Chen’s heart to sink. So he took out some ck Astral Coins and handed them over.


    The passerby’s expression improved after he received the ck Astral Coins. He said, “Two days ago, the Wang n’s n Head suddenly came out of closed-door cultivation. He led all the elites of the Wang n and marched over to the City Lord’s Residence. With the strength of a half-step Martial Emperor, he swept through all the experts of the Su n and brought them all to Scorching me City.”


    Xiao Chen felt somewhat suspicious. He asked, “Since the Wang n is so strong, why did they let the Su n continue existing here for so long and not make a move sooner?”


    “There are things that you do not know. The Su n’s ancestor, the Martial Emperor Su He, still had a few good friends when he was still alive. Although the Wang n also has some good friends, they did not dare to make things too unsightly. So they only kept pressuring the Su n, trying to make them leave Scorching me Ind on their own volition.


    “I heard that this time, the Su n invited a helper and injured a Supreme Elder of the Wang n, angering the Wang n’s n Head. So the Wang n stopped giving them any face.”


    Xiao Chen sent this person away and sank into deep thought. The Wang n made a move two days ago. That happened to be when he entered the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance. The Wang n really acted very fast.


    It looks like Wang Feng did not pay any heed to my warning. Does he truly think that I’m just a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor?


    It looks like I am indeed too benevolent sometimes.


    A light shed as Xiao Chen soared into the air. Then, he headed towards Scorching me City, which was in the center of the ind. He unfurled his Freedom Wings and executed the Thunder Dragon Steps, flying at the greatest speed possible.


    Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised to find that with the strengthening of his will of thunder, his control of lightning-attributed energy had be smoother.


    One step, two steps, three steps…


    Xiao Chen surpassed his previous limit of twelve steps. Now, he could take fifteen steps in an instant. If he executed the Thunder Dragon Chop after fifteen steps, its might would be significantly increased.


    Surpriseyered on surprise. Not only had the Thunder Dragon Steps’ speed increased but so had the might of the Thunder Dragon Chop.


    ---


    Inside Scorching me City:


    At thergest za in the city, the Su n’s n Head, elders, and disciples were all tied up with ropes and kneeling on the za before the eyes of the many cultivators. They were all severely injured.


    Beside every kneeling Su n member was a Wang n member holding arge saber. With just onemand, all the Su n members could be beheaded, dying without aplete corpse.


    The Wang n’s n Head, Wang Feng, and various Wang n cultivators stood on a tall tform in the za. They all looked down coldly on the group of Su n members from above.


    The Wang n’s n head, Wang Yang, sat in the middle. His aged face gave off a cold, murderous intent. He did not show any expression on his face, but the might that flowed off him inspired deep fear in anyone who saw him.


    With the aura of a half-step Martial Emperor, Wang Yang naturally became the center of attraction just by sitting there.


    Wang Yang looked at the Su n’s n Head and said, “Su Tianyun, you should be very clear on why I never chased down and killed your Su n all these years.


    “It is not that I, Wang Yang, am not capable. It is that your dead ancestor still has some influence. However, don’t think that because of that, I really cannot do anything to you.”
