Chapter 1203: Treasure Sabers, Seven Deadly Sins
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 explanation. 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 dial 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 dallion seed to be an ancestral keepsake of so 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. Similarly, it has a high value as well. Hehe! However, you cannot keep this. I want this.”

By the ti Ao Jiao finished all her explanations, not a single treasure remained in the cave. Xiao Chen already placed 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 forr 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 beco?
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 the latter, 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 sowhat speechlessly. From here on, the largest 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 place, Ao Jiao could not help thinking about the person and matters of the past.
The Innate Thunder Crystal completely shocked Xiao Chen; he needed to spend so ti to properly digest it as well.
As of now, it was very difficult for Xiao Chen to increase his cultivation. Hence, raising his combat 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 hour later, Ao Jiao tossed the key into the cave and closed the heavy doors, completely sealing the Thunder Emperor’s history behind these stone doors.
As Xiao Chen opened his eyes, he was sowhat at a loss for words. He thought about the ti he t the Thunder Emperor. Even so, that was not a true eting but just a Spiritual Mark that the Thunder Emperor left behind.
However, through this one eting, Xiao Chen knew what kind of person the Thunder Emperor was. He felt that the Thunder Emperor’s death was extrely 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 so of her usual expression, putting on a faint smile. “Where to now? Are we going straight to a large rchant association to look for news about the Flower of Life, or are we going to the Su Clan first?”
Xiao Chen did not hesitate to reply, “Let’s go to the Su Clan 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 Clan’s half-step Martial Emperor about his bitter experience at the Su Clan.
Hence, Xiao Chen specially instructed the Su Clan to try and delay or run around if the half-step Martial Emperor ca and not to clash head-on. They were to wait for him to return to deal with this.
The Su Clan’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 ti, Xiao Chen rushed back to the City Lord’s Residence.
The instant Xiao Chen landed, he felt that sothing 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 desolate.
Occasionally, he had found bloodstains on the ground. The signs of battle were extrely obvious. However, the fight did not seem to have been too intense as the buildings of the City Lord’s Residence were still relatively 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 extrely strange.
Xiao Chen frowned and entered deep thought. The destruction in the City Lord’s Residence was not too severe, which ant that the battle did not take long. For the other party to be able to sweep through the entire Su Clan at such speed, there was only one possibility—the Wang Clan’s half-step Martial Emperor personally made a move. Aside from that, all the peak experts of the Wang Clan should have made a move as well.
“Looks like I said sothing 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 Clan mber the Wang Clan killed, he would kill ten Wang Clan mbers.
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 Clan. If he thought Xiao Chen to be a naless brat of unknown origins, he might even up going to extres.
“You had best not have done anything foolish. I am not soone 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 flash.
With such a large commotion, the ordinary people in the city should know sothing.
Now, Xiao Chen only wanted to know how the Su Clan mbers 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 Clan? How are you related to them?”
“I’m not related to the Su Clan. I am just going to find a friend. However, when I went to the City Lord’s Residence, I found it completely empty. Please help out and tell what happened.”
The expression of that passerby caused Xiao Chen’s heart to sink. So he took out so Black Astral Coins and handed them over.
The passerby’s expression improved after he received the Black Astral Coins. He said, “Two days ago, the Wang Clan’s Clan Head suddenly ca out of closed-door cultivation. He led all the elites of the Wang Clan 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 Clan and brought them all to Scorching Fla City.”
Xiao Chen felt sowhat suspicious. He asked, “Since the Wang Clan is so strong, why did they let the Su Clan continue existing here for so long and not make a move sooner?”
“There are things that you do not know. The Su Clan’s ancestor, the Martial Emperor Su He, still had a few good friends when he was still alive. Although the Wang Clan also has so good friends, they did not dare to make things too unsightly. So they only kept pressuring the Su Clan, trying to make them leave Scorching Fla Island on their own volition.
“I heard that this ti, the Su Clan invited a helper and injured a Supre Elder of the Wang Clan, angering the Wang Clan’s Clan Head. So the Wang Clan stopped giving them any face.”
Xiao Chen sent this person away and sank into deep thought. The Wang Clan made a move two days ago. That happened to be when he entered the Thunder Emperor’s inheritance. The Wang Clan 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 sotis.
A light flashed as Xiao Chen soared into the air. Then, he headed towards Scorching Fla City, which was in the center of the island. He unfurled his Freedom Wings and executed the Thunder Dragon Steps, flying at the greatest speed possible.
Xiao Chen was sowhat surprised to find that with the strengthening of his will of thunder, his control of lightning-attributed energy had beco 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.
Surprise layered on surprise. Not only had the Thunder Dragon Steps’ speed increased but so had the might of the Thunder Dragon Chop.

Inside Scorching Fla City:
At the largest plaza in the city, the Su Clan’s Clan Head, elders, and disciples were all tied up with ropes and kneeling on the plaza before the eyes of the many cultivators. They were all severely injured.
Beside every kneeling Su Clan mber was a Wang Clan mber holding a large saber. With just one command, all the Su Clan mbers could be beheaded, dying without a complete corpse.
The Wang Clan’s Clan Head, Wang Feng, and various Wang Clan cultivators stood on a tall platform in the plaza. They all looked down coldly on the group of Su Clan mbers from above.
The Wang Clan’s Clan 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 beca the center of attraction just by sitting there.
Wang Yang looked at the Su Clan’s Clan Head and said, “Su Tianyun, you should be very clear on why I never chased down and killed your Su Clan all these years.
“It is not that I, Wang Yang, am not capable. It is that your dead ancestor still has so influence. However, don’t think that because of that, I really cannot do anything to you.”
