Chapter 7575
Going to the Central Region
Xiao Chen's pupils contracted slightly, a storm raging in his heart... Awaken two new gods?
Currently, only the four Mo Lihai brothers have awakened within the Soul Tower, assisting him in his cultivation.
If he could awaken two more ancient deities, his strength would increase dramatically, giving him more confidence in dealing with future dangers and fulfilling his mission.
"What kind of treasure is this that has such power?" Xiao Chen asked eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Mo Lihai shook his head slightly, his tone helpless:
"I don't know. I only sense that at midnight tonight, a strange phenomenon will occur at Wanhua Mountain: a strong wind will blow, spiritual energy will gather, and that rare treasure will appear."
"Xiao Chen, you must go. No matter what, you must retrieve this extraordinary treasure. It's crucial for you, and for all of us!"
Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment, then his gaze hardened, and he nodded gently: "I understand. Tonight at midnight, I will definitely go to Wanhua Mountain and retrieve the treasure."
After speaking, his consciousness slowly withdrew from the Soul Tower. He opened his eyes, a trace of solemnity and anticipation still lingering in them. Just as he got up, his phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly rang, breaking the silence of the room.
Xiao Chen picked up his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and raised an eyebrow slightly... Qin Xianglan.
Qin Xianglan was his capable assistant, in charge of many of his businesses. She was efficient and well-informed. She rarely called him on her own initiative, but when she did, it was always for something important.
Xiao Chen pressed the answer button and held the phone to his ear.
"Mr. Xiao."
On the other end of the phone, Qin Xianglan's voice carried a hint of urgency, yet remained respectful, "An unusual fluctuation of spiritual energy has appeared in Wanhua Mountain in the Central Region, and the initial signs of celestial phenomena are emerging. You should have sensed it, right?"
Xiao Chen responded casually, "Yes, I already know."
Qin Xianglan quickly replied, "I've already arranged a private plane, it's ready to take off at any time, and the crew is already on board, just waiting for your instructions. Do you want to go to Wanhua Mountain?"
She had long sensed the unusual occurrences at Wanhua Mountain and knew that a rare treasure must be about to appear, so she made preparations in advance and dared not delay in the slightest.
Xiao Chen stood up, straightened his clothes, and said firmly, "Let's go now."
Half an hour later, a black luxury car slowly pulled up in front of Xiao Chen's villa. The car was understated yet luxurious, exuding an invisible aura.
Qin Xianglan, sitting in the passenger seat, saw Xiao Chen walk out of the villa, immediately got out of the car, bowed, and said respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, everything is ready, we can depart now."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and was about to get into the car when his gaze inadvertently fell upon two people standing at the entrance of the villa...
Yun Yuyan and Zhou Keying had returned sometime earlier and were standing there quietly, looking at him with obvious worry on their faces and reluctance in their eyes.
"Xiao Chen, where are you going?"
Zhou Keying took a quick step forward, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible urgency and worry. Her gaze was fixed on Xiao Chen, as if afraid he would leave without even having time to say a word of advice.
Xiao Chen stopped and turned to look at her, a fleeting tenderness flashing in his eyes, but his tone remained calm and composed:
"I have some business to attend to and need to go on a long trip. It might take a few days. You all stay home, take good care of yourselves, and don't cause any trouble."
Zhou Keying opened her mouth, a thousand words she wanted to ask...
Where is he going? What is he going to do? Is it dangerous? When will he be back?
But the words caught in his throat as he looked into Xiao Chen's deep and resolute eyes, and he swallowed them back. He simply nodded firmly, his worry undiminished, and said softly:
"Okay, we'll take good care of ourselves. You must be careful and come back soon."
A simple sentence, yet it contained all her worries and expectations. Xiao Chen nodded gently, said nothing more, turned around, opened the car door, and got in.
The moment the car door closed, he glanced at Zhou Keying and Yun Yuyan through the car window, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes before he regained his composure.
The black luxury sedan slowly drove away from the villa, its engine emitting a deep roar, speeding towards the airport and quickly disappearing at the distant intersection.
Only Zhou Keying and Yun Yuyan remained, standing quietly at the villa entrance, gazing in the direction the car had disappeared, without moving for a long time.
Inside the car, Xiao Chen leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes slightly, and tapped his knees lightly with his fingertips, his expression solemn.
He looked out the car window at the distant horizon, his brow furrowed slightly...
On the horizon, a thick, dark cloud was churning wildly, as black as ink. Countless silver-white lightning bolts weaved and danced within the cloud, emitting muffled roars that made it hard to breathe.
The direction from which the dark clouds gathered was precisely where Wanhua Mountain in the central region is located.
Just then, Mo Lihai's deep and resonant voice rang in his mind again, carrying a hint of solemnity and urgency:
"Xiao Chen, that rare treasure is of great importance and must not fall into the hands of others."
If we succeed in obtaining it, it will not only help our remnant souls quickly recover their strength and help you fight against the pursuit of the Prison Clan, but it will also give you enough confidence to find and rescue Jiang Meng in the future.
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed instantly, and his aura became cold and resolute.
He saved his wife.
These two words were like a thorn, deeply embedded in his heart, and also like a ray of light, supporting him on his journey.
His wife, Jiang Meng, mysteriously disappeared many years ago without a trace. Over the years, he has never given up searching for her, even if he has traveled to the ends of the earth and encountered countless dangers, he has always held on to this obsession.
He knew perfectly well that only when he was strong enough could he succeed.
Only by awakening more ancient gods and possessing overwhelming power can we find Jiang Meng more quickly, protect her, and rescue her from her predicament.
"I know," Xiao Chen silently replied in his heart, his tone firm and without the slightest hesitation.
"No matter the cost, no matter the danger, I will obtain this treasure. No one can stop me."
The car arrived at the airport quickly, where the private jet was already ready and quietly parked on the runway.
Xiao Chen and Qin Xianglan quickly boarded the plane, and the crew immediately started the engine.
The plane slowly taxied on the runway, its speed increasing until it finally took off, broke through the clouds, and flew towards Los Angeles in the central region.
Half an hour later, the plane landed smoothly at Los Angeles Airport.
As the hatch opened, a completely different atmosphere rushed out, carrying a hint of suppressed restlessness, a world apart from the environment Xiao Chen was used to.
As Xiao Chen and Qin Xianglan stepped out of the cabin, their gazes swept across the airport terminal, and they immediately sensed something was amiss… The airport was filled with many unfamiliar faces, each with a different expression, yet all exuding a wary, unapproachable aura. (End of Chapter)
