Understanding that it was impossible to recruit Xiao Chen, Zhao Lu gave up on the idea. Instead, he turned to Xiao Chen to ask for Wang Qingfeng.
Hearing Zhao Lu's words, Xiao Chen paused. Then, he turned around and said coolly, "Wang Qingfeng made a small mistake. I will teach him a lesson. Don't worry, I won't kill him. Once he learns his lesson, I will release him back to Prison Flame Peak."
Wang Qingfeng had dared to harass Qin Shuirou while he was away. Naturally, Xiao Chen would not let him off so easily. As for Prison Flame Peak, Xiao Chen was not afraid. This was Nine Firmaments Palace. There were some rules that had to be followed. Prison Flame Peak dared not do anything openly. He also dared not report this matter to the Ruler of the Nine Firmaments. Truth was on Xiao Chen's side. If the Ruler of the Nine Firmaments Palace found out about this, Wang Qingfeng's fate would be even more miserable.
After saying that, Xiao Chen did not wait for Zhao Lu to reply. Instead, he simply walked away. Zhao Lu, who was behind him, said furiously, "Fine! Fine! Fine! Xiao Chen, you chose this. Don't regret it!"
Clearly, Zhao Lu had been thoroughly infuriated by Xiao Chen's attitude. It was one thing for Xiao Chen to refuse Prison Flame Peak's offer, but Xiao Chen had actually refused to give him face when it came to Wang Qingfeng. Even with Zhao Lu's temperament, he was infuriated.
A Dao King was infuriated. If this were outside, Xiao Chen would have a headache. However, this was Nine Firmaments Palace. There were some rules that even Zhao Lu had to abide by. Not to mention, Xiao Chen was a Proud King, someone highly regarded by the Ruler of the Nine Firmaments Palace. No matter how infuriated Zhao Lu was, he would not dare openly attack Xiao Chen. At most, he would secretly try to trip Xiao Chen up.
Due to the rules, Zhao Lu's threat was greatly reduced. Naturally, this was not a long-term solution. After leaving the Immaculate Residence, Xiao Chen sighed.
"Sigh! It's all about strength. Zhao Lu is a Dao King. Master and the others are simply incapable of fighting him head on. Even if they can rely on Nine Firmaments Palace's rules to stabilize the situation for now, they are still in a disadvantageous position."
He was well aware that the root cause of all this was because his side did not have enough strength. The Prison Flame Peak only needed to send a single chief elder to suppress Cang Xuan and the others until they could hardly breathe.
However, there was nothing he could do. There were no shortcuts on the path of cultivation. He could only take it one step at a time.
Xiao Chen stopped thinking about these things, because it was useless to think about it. The most important task for Xiao Chen now was to raise his cultivation level to the Celestial Realm within two years. As for other things, there was no way he could think about them for the time being.
Since Xiao Chen had come directly to the Heavenly Sword Hall, he must have received Cang Xuan's order, so the elders in charge of guarding the Heavenly Sword Hall did not stop him. However, the elders of Zhao Lu's faction were not so easy to talk to.
Due to Zhao Lu's presence, the various halls of Heavenly Sword Peak had been filled with his men. After being stopped by the elders in Zhao Lu's faction, Xiao Chen's face gradually turned cold. "I have my master's orders. I can enter and leave Heavenly Sword Hall as I please. What? Are you trying to stop me?"
"I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that without Elder Zhao's orders, I cannot let you enter Heavenly Sword Hall," the elder said coolly when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
He only obeyed Zhao Lu's orders and could not enter Heavenly Sword Hall. At the same time, Zhao Lu also received news that Xiao Chen was heading to Heavenly Sword Hall. He sneered and immediately ordered the elders in his faction that without his orders, Xiao Chen was not allowed to take a single step into Heavenly Sword Hall.
Didn't Xiao Chen say that the outcome of the chief disciple selection would be decided in two years? Fine, then I will cut off your cultivation resources. Without the support of cultivation resources, let's see how you cultivate.
Xiao Chen was forbidden from entering Heavenly Sword Hall. At the same time, Cang Xuan was also furious when he received the news. He did not expect Zhao Lu to be so excessive.
He angrily rushed to Zhao Lu's residence. As soon as he entered, Cang Xuan coldly shouted, "Zhao Lu, what is the meaning of this?"
"Oh, peak master, what's wrong? I didn't do anything." Zhao Lu sneered in response to Cang Xuan's angry shout.
"Nothing. I ordered Xiao Chen to enter Heavenly Sword Hall. Why did you order your people to stop him?" said Cang Xuan.
"Oh, so that's what you want. Peak master, you don't know. Xiao Chen is just a disciple. According to the rules, if he wants to enter Heavenly Sword Hall, he must have enough contribution points. Unfortunately, he doesn't. What I did was right, right?" said Zhao Lu.
Cang Xuan deliberately pretended to be confused. However, he knew very well what Zhao Lu was thinking. He wanted to cut off Xiao Chen's cultivation resources. Today it was Heavenly Sword Hall, tomorrow it could be Martial Skills Hall.
Without cultivation resources, no matter how talented Xiao Chen was, he could not break through to the Heaven Human stage in two years. Cang Xuan looked coldly at Zhao Lu. He did not want to waste time talking nonsense with him and directly shouted coldly.
"Zhao Lu, I can tolerate other things, but if you dare to attack Xiao Chen, don't blame me. I will ask you one last time, are you going to step aside or not?"
It was impossible for Cang Xuan to step aside. If Zhao Lu didn't step aside, Cang Xuan would not be afraid even if the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds heard about it.
Zhao Lu was helpless when he saw Cang Xuan's crazy expression. He was forced to join Heavenly Sword Peak by the peak master of Prison Flame Peak, but the current peak master of Heavenly Sword Peak was Cang Xuan and the other two. Therefore, Cang Xuan's words were orders in Heavenly Sword Peak.
What Zhao Lu had done was, frankly speaking, offending his superiors. In the past, because his cultivation level was higher than Cang Xuan and the other two, Cang Xuan and the other two would tolerate him, but this matter had obviously touched Cang Xuan's bottom line.
And if Cang Xuan directly reported this matter to the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, Zhao Lu would not be able to explain himself. After all, he was only a chief elder in name, while Cang Xuan was the peak master of Heavenly Sword Peak. If he openly disobeyed a peak master's orders, he would be punished.
After remaining silent for a while, Zhao Lu said, "Alright, I promise not to obstruct Xiao Chen, but you can only give Xiao Chen the cultivation resources of your faction. As for the cultivation resources of our faction, you can't touch Xiao Chen. That's the bottom line. If you don't agree, go ahead and cause trouble. Even if the Ruler of the Continent of the Nine Clouds hears about it, I'll say the same thing."
The Sky Sword Peak was now divided into two factions. As such, the cultivation resources were naturally divided into two pieces. The two factions each had one piece.
They could not obstruct Xiao Chen, but Cang Xuan could only give the cultivation resources of his faction to Xiao Chen. Cang Xuan ground his teeth when he heard that, but there was nothing he could do. His faction was inferior to Zhao Lu's. It was already rare and precious to be able to obtain half of the cultivation resources for Xiao Chen.
"Zhao Lu, you and your Prison Flame Peak will definitely regret this." Said Cang Xuan coldly, looking at Zhao Lu. Then, Cang Xuan turned around and left. He could only obtain half of the cultivation resources for Xiao Chen. Cang Xuan was furious.
