Chapter 379: Chapter 235: Not Ordinary

"This is Dragon Gate, Su."

Li Longxuan’s voice slowly drifted over from the side. Su Xing glanced over instinctively and saw a very faint avatar smiling at him.

"Elder Li, what are you doing here?"

The words tumbled out of Su Xing’s mouth. He then suddenly realized his voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn’t spoken in a long time, but the hoarseness only lasted for a few words before his voice returned to normal.

"Haha, you caused such a huge commotion back in Desperate Gorge. If I hadn’t come out, I’m afraid you might not have made it back here in one piece."

Li Longxuan said with a light chuckle. Although his tone was casual, the implications were incredibly serious, and Su Xing could sense the gravity of the situation.

After his battle with the Witch Summoner, he had collapsed from exhaustion. If anyone with ill intentions had been there at that moment, Su Xing would have been completely defenseless. It was all so unexpected; he never thought he would encounter such a powerful opponent in Desperate Gorge.

The one who had just reached an agreement with Su Xing...

’...what was his name again?’

That guy who could dream up all sorts of martial arts was simply too weak. The moment Su Xing clashed with the Witch Summoner, he was turned into a bloody mist. Afterward, Su Xing collapsed from the fierce battle, not knowing who ended up with that flower.

Thinking of this, Su Xing voiced the question on his mind:

"When did you all arrive? What happened after I passed out?"

"To be honest, I don’t know that much myself. My main body is in Cang City, after all, so I couldn’t pay too much attention to what was happening here. By the time I realized you were in danger, quite a few people had already gathered."

"Including some I had never seen before."

"Never seen before?"

Su Xing asked, puzzled. In truth, during his fight with the Witch Summoner, he had sensed the changes in his surroundings. He just didn’t know who exactly had appeared, only vaguely recalling a woman wearing a white fox mask.

He remembered her specifically because his consciousness hadn’t yet begun to fade when she appeared. At the same time, the aura she exuded sent a chill down his spine.

The Witch Summoner had felt that same chill.

Because Su Xing had felt the strength in the Witch Summoner’s hands weaken for an instant. It was obvious they knew each other, and that woman with the white fox mask must be incredibly powerful.

"Yes. I saw a man who called himself the Grand General of the Abyss Race. He was covered in pitch-black armor, his strength was unfathomable, and I believe his name was Yuan Wujing."

Yuan Wujing.

Clad in black armor...

Hearing these two descriptions, Su Xing realized this person named Yuan Wujing couldn’t be the woman with the white fox mask.

But it seemed Elder Li hadn’t seen the woman with the white fox mask. ’Could it be that Yuan Wujing’s appearance made her flee?’

At this thought, Su Xing realized that this Yuan Wujing must also be extraordinarily powerful.

"This world..."

"It seems more complicated than I thought."

Su Xing murmured to himself.

In reality, this was only to be expected.

The last time Spiritual Qi emerged was in an age long forgotten. Over such a vast expanse of time, countless powerful Extraordinary races must have been born. As long as these races weren’t wiped out, the longer they existed, the stronger they were bound to become.

And if even the Spirit Sect from the Spirit Realm had a way to preserve itself and come to the present world, then these factions, countless times stronger than the Spirit Sect, would naturally have even better methods. They might not even need to pay such a steep price.

The comparison between the Cyan Cloud Sect and Dragon Gate versus the Spirit Sect made this clear. Although the Cyan Cloud Sect and Dragon Gate were probably not as strong as they were in their prime, they hadn’t lost all their disciples like the Spirit Sect. The losses for those ancient races would be even smaller.

Perhaps,

their top experts were even beyond the 8th-rank.

After all, that Witch Summoner had called himself a Protector of the Witch Race and was incredibly proud of the title. That meant, at the very least, there had to be someone even more powerful above him.

"Elder Li, you told me before that there’s a 9th-rank who was revived from ancient times in the Capital City. Is that really the only 9th-rank Extraordinary Being we have in Xia Country?"

Su Xing asked hesitantly.

In truth, Su Xing wasn’t the type of person who liked being sheltered. But as the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. If Xia Country also possessed formidable power, then Su Xing would still have plenty of time to grow stronger.

But if Xia Country had a significant power vacuum at the 9th-rank level, then their current situation was extremely dangerous.

"Don’t worry."

Li Longxuan, however, seemed unconcerned. He simply sat there, watching Su Xing quietly as he said,

"Although I’m an 8th-rank, information regarding the 9th-rank is still something we have no authority to ask about. Therefore, I don’t know if Xia Country has any 9th-ranks, or how many."

"However, in this era where every nation is adapting to Extraordinary changes, our external enemies are likely watching us far more keenly than we realize. The fact that they haven’t made a move yet means that Xia Country is safe for now."

"Besides..."

"Those ancient races... if they could truly crush us with ease, they would have done so long ago. Since they still haven’t acted, there are only two possibilities."

Li Longxuan speculated.

"What possibilities?" Su Xing immediately asked upon hearing this.
