Xiao Chen took the initiative to propose a three-month battle with Bai Qiuran. As soon as he said that, the surrounding disciples burst into an uproar. After all, once the battle was decided, there was no way to change it. At that time, both Xiao Chen and Bai Qiuran would have to rely on their own strength and wouldn't be able to rely on anyone else.
No one expected Xiao Chen to propose a battle to the death with Bai Qiuran at this time. Moreover, it was only three months away.
What could they do in three months? At their level, three months would pass by just casually cultivating in seclusion.
Some people thought that Xiao Chen was crazy. The appearance of the old servant and his attitude undoubtedly showed that he was here to protect Xiao Chen. At this time, Xiao Chen didn't even need to say anything. Bai Qiuran definitely couldn't do anything to Xiao Chen today because the old servant represented Yin-yangzi.
They clearly didn't need to do anything to resolve the crisis at hand. However, Xiao Chen took the initiative to propose a battle to the death with Bai Qiuran. The time was only three months later.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but compared to them, Bai Qiuran was a little uncertain.
If it were before, Bai Qiuran would definitely agree without hesitation if Xiao Chen proposed a battle to the death under such circumstances. After all, it was only three months later. What could they do in three months?
But it was different now. Xiao Chen's improvement in the past six months had made Bai Qiuran feel a fatal threat. Now, Xiao Chen took the initiative to propose a battle to the death in three months. To be honest, Bai Qiuran wasn't confident at all.
Who knew how much Xiao Chen would grow in three months with his talent?
Therefore, Bai Qiuran didn't want to agree to Xiao Chen's battle to the death. Bai Qiuran wanted to kill Xiao Chen on the spot to prevent future trouble.
Unfortunately, the old servant beside Yin-yangzi was present. Bai Qiuran definitely couldn't succeed. Moreover, Long Yang and Feng Jue were standing beside Xiao Chen.
Under the overall situation, it was obviously impossible for Bai Qiuran to kill Xiao Chen on the spot. If she persisted, not only would she bring disaster to herself, but also the Bai Family.
There were only two choices before Bai Qiuran. She could either leave with her people or agree to Xiao Chen's battle to the death.
She glared at Xiao Chen, and the murderous intent in her eyes was almost tangible. However, Xiao Chen did not mind at all. He smirked coldly and met Bai Qiuran's eyes without backing down.
The two of them stood facing each other. After a long silence, Bai Qiuran finally said, "Fine, I'll kill you in three months."
Bai Qiuran suppressed the killing intent in her heart and turned around with a cold snort. "Let's go."
She immediately left with her subordinates. As Bai Qiuran left, Yun Kunyao took a deep look at Xiao Chen before leaving as well. The old servant beside Yin Yangzi came up to Xiao Chen and said with a smile, "Thank you for your help."
"Let's go. Master wants to see you."
The master the old servant mentioned was naturally Yin-yangzi. Xiao Chen nodded and told Long Yang, Feng Jue and the Sacred Palace people to leave first. He followed the old servant to Yin-yangzi's residence.
With Yin-yangzi's declaration, the other factions wouldn't dare to openly attack the Sacred Palace faction. Xiao Chen arrived at Yin-yangzi's residence for the first time under the old servant's lead.
There was an ethereal mountain peak that looked like a paradise. A simple thatched hut stood on top of the mountain peak. Outside the hut was a small courtyard. At first glance, it looked like the residence of an ordinary farmer. Moreover, not far from the thatched hut, there were a few vegetable fields. There were already many green vegetables growing in the fields.
Who would have thought that this was Yin-yangzi's residence? The Great Sage actually lived in the same place as an ordinary farmer.
Xiao Chen arrived at the courtyard under the old servant's lead and saw Yin-yangzi sitting on a praying mat. Yin-yangzi slowly opened his eyes when Xiao Chen arrived. He smiled and pointed to another praying mat in front of him.
"Have a seat."
He didn't exude any aura at all, just like an ordinary farmer. Xiao Chen sat down in front of Yin-yangzi and took the initiative to cup his hands together.
"Thank you for your help, Ancestor."
"Haha, there's no need to thank me. You should thank yourself." Yin-yangzi smiled nonchalantly.
Xiao Chen didn't feel any pressure when he was with Yin-yangzi. It was as if he wasn't The Great Sage at all. He also didn't have the imposing aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
On the contrary, one could feel calmness, peace, and simplicity from Yin-yangzi. In other words, Yin-yangzi was like the warm sun. Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel more relaxed when he was with him. At least, that was the case for Xiao Chen right now.
Xiao Chen chatted with Yin-yangzi on and off, but it was only about trivial topics. Yin-yangzi sensed that Xiao Chen seemed to have something to say, but he still smiled and said, "What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to stutter."
Xiao Chen obviously had something on his mind, but he was too embarrassed to say it. Now that Yin-yangzi took the initiative to point it out, Xiao Chen might as well just say it.
"That Patriarch, the four Patriarchs of our Sacred Palace, they …?"
Xiao Chen wanted to ask about Xiao Sheng's group of four. Ever since Xiao Chen returned, he hadn't seen Xiao Sheng's group of four. Previously, he heard from Qin Shuirou that Xiao Sheng's group of four had gone into seclusion. However, half a year had passed, and Xiao Sheng's group of four still hadn't shown up today. This made Xiao Chen suspicious.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yin-yangzi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the four of them are still in seclusion, but they should be coming out soon."
With that, Yin-yangzi waved his hand, and a mirror formed from spiritual energy appeared in front of Xiao Chen. Through the mirror, Xiao Chen saw the scene of Xiao Sheng's group of four cultivating in seclusion.
Seeing that Xiao Chen's group of four was indeed in seclusion and wasn't in any danger, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Xiao Chen didn't know that the reason why Xiao Sheng's group of four cultivated so desperately was because they felt that their cultivation was too low.
Although the four of them were quasi-sage Great Sovereigns, their cultivation was only at the initial stage of the quasi-sage stage. This kind of cultivation wasn't considered too high in the Central World. To put it bluntly, in the Central World, if a quasi-sage sect didn't have a Great Sovereign at the perfect stage of the quasi-sage stage overseeing it, it had almost no right to speak.
