Chapter 550: Chapter 549: The Terrifying Shennong (Part 5)

”What do you want to do?” Old Yi asked.

”Well, what can we do, just charge in, now that we’ve come all this way,” Mu Chen said indifferently, his attitude apparent.

”Then let’s charge in,” Old Yi nodded, though he was still somewhat worried.

”Mu Chen, you’ve arrived.” At that moment, a person in purple appeared, appeared before Mu Chen and spoke earnestly.

”Shennong, how did you come out here?” Mu Chen was somewhat surprised to see Shennong.

”You’re in Tianhai City. Naturally, I should come out to see you. There happens to be an inheritance event, just perfect for joining in the excitement,” Shennong said lightly.

”That’s good, it’s good that you’ve come. One more person means one more chance,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

”Kid, who is this?” Old Yi asked.

”Shennong of Shennongjia, a very old figure. To be called Shennong, you understand the meaning of those two words,” Mu Chen said seriously.

”Shennong, I see. So it looks like you’re the current Controller of Shennongjia!” Old Yi nodded, showing complete shock; he didn’t expect Mu Chen to know the Clan Leader of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia has a rule, if someone becomes the Clan Leader of Shennongjia, then they are known as Shennong, taking control over Shennongjia.

”You’re too kind. And you are?” Shennong asked lightly.

”Just call me Old Yi.”

”Old Yi,” Shennong repeated lightly.

”Alright, you two old men, stop dilly-dallying and hurry up inside,” said Mu Chen, as he directly entered the Energy Layer.

Old Yi and the other followed into the Energy Layer quickly, staying close to Mu Chen.

As soon as they entered, they encountered various monsters and evil spirits lunging and attacking them.

”An Illusion Realm?” The trio frowned in unison, but Old Yi and the other both turned to look at Mu Chen.

”Flame Emperor’s Eye,” Mu Chen’s eyes changed as soon as he entered, dispelling all illusions.

The Flame Emperor’s Eye, a benefit Mu Chen obtained from the Flame Emperor Divine Power, allowed his eyes to change, to shatter all illusions, and also to unleash the Flame Emperor’s Fire, which is extremely formidable.

As the force from Mu Chen manifested, everything changed instantaneously, and the trio found themselves by the entrance of a cave.

Mu Chen and his companions disengaged, but they saw many were closing their eyes in the distance, some slaughtering each other, some fleeing. However, those who had dispelled the illusion seemed to be nowhere in sight, or rather, anyone capable of dispelling it had already, and were now inside the cave. Those who couldn’t dispel it, no matter what, just couldn’t do so.

But after Mu Chen, two individuals dressed in black robes charged in. Both of them were cloaked in such a way as to conceal their appearances or perhaps to hide their identities, not wishing to be known.

”Gentlemen, what are you standing around for?” The two said seriously upon entering and seeing Mu Chen and the others standing still.

”If you want to enter, just go, nobody’s stopping you,” Mu Chen said indifferently, dismissively.

”You dare to speak to us like that, brat?” The two grew furious, their anger burgeoning.

”Have you got a problem with that?” Shennong sneered, his killing intent surging.

”The aura you emit is very strange. Provoking you now would lead to no good end. We’ll settle our scores later,” the two said, ready to move further inside.

”Go? Did I say you could leave?” Mu Chen sneered. Since these two bore killing intent towards them, Mu Chen would not let anyone off.

”Lad, don’t overestimate your capabilities, acting like this is sending yourselves to your deaths,” the two said angrily, not expecting to have to engage in battle so soon upon arrival.

”You’re really getting on my nerves. Since I’m annoyed, you will have to die.”

”Do you even know who we are before you try to kill us?”

”Who you are? Suddenly I’m quite curious.”

”We are from the Immortal Alliance. To oppose the Immortal Alliance is to court death.”

”So you’re from the Immortal Alliance, the vile organization that robs people of their beauties wherever it goes. It seems I’m right to stop you,” Mu Chen replied, his killing intent intensifying upon hearing the name ’Immortal Alliance’.

”Damn you, you’re too arrogant. Don’t think we can’t kill you. If it comes down to a real fight, you will fall at a single blow.”

”What are you two babbling about?” Shennong suddenly appeared in front of them, grabbing their throats directly as he spoke calmly.

Gripped by an incomparable fear, the two couldn’t fathom how Shennong could be so terrifying.

”Don’t kill us, please don’t!” The two immediately began to beg for mercy.

”Mu Chen, what do you say?”

”Crush them,” Mu Chen said indifferently, his expression unchanged.

”Yes,” said Shennong, and following that, he twisted the necks of the two men, who died there and then, their deaths marked by their unwillingness.

”You two really are cold-blooded,” Old Yi said earnestly, although not showing much change.

”Old Yi, you should be aware of the lessons from the Emperor Domain. In this world, there is no absolute kindness, right?” Mu Chen stated seriously.

”You make a valid point. I’ve learned my lesson.”

”Let’s go in and take a look! I am curious to see just who this powerful individual is, leaving behind such a massive undertaking and even sending a Spirit Vein our way. It’s somewhat dubious,” Mu Chen said dispassionately.

”Mu Chen, have you figured something out?” Shennong asked, his gaze changing.

”You’re thinking the same thing I am,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

”Then, is there still a point to this inheritance?” Shennong asked.

”It is necessary, because I am stronger than him,” Mu Chen said, continuing further inside.

”Brother Shennong, what was the profound topic you were just discussing?”

”Old Yi, I advise you to leave this place! The situation has surpassed your expectations,” Shennong said before blinking out of sight.

”Why are the two of you being so mysterious? But it looks like there’s no reason for me to go in, considering each and every one present is formidable. With Shennong there, the kid should be alright,” Old Yi said, then immediately left the place.

Old Yi’s thoughts were straightforward: to stay with Mu Chen to protect him. However, with the appearance of Shennong, an extraordinarily powerful being, he felt there was no point in going in together, and so he backed out.

”Where’s Old Yi?” Mu Chen asked inside the cave.

”He left,” Shennong just entered and said earnestly.

”It’s good that he left, this place isn’t as simple as it seems.”

”Lord Emperor Yan, let’s adapt as the situation demands up ahead!”

”That’s fine, and, it seems like there are no more traps ahead, these people have already cleared the path for us,” Mu Chen said as he saw one or two corpses along the way, speaking lightly.

”Being first has its advantages, and being last has its own benefits. However, it is evident that arriving last is the most advantageous.”

”That is one way to interpret it,” Mu Chen said with a smile.

Soon, the two quickly proceeded to the deepest part of the cave, where the stench of death continuously wafted out.

”He is choosing the strongest person.” Seeing more corpses along the way, Shennong commented lightly.

”Whatever, let’s hurry and see what’s inside,” Mu Chen became impatient, quickly moving to the innermost depths.

Soon, Mu Chen arrived at the innermost depths of the cave, and at that moment, there were no less than eight individuals gathered, each one looking formidable.
