In the past, no matter who came to the Sword Sect, they would definitely fly directly to the Sword Sect. It was impossible for them to walk up from the foot of the mountain. Even ordinary elders of the Black Emperor Sect wouldn't do that.
However, this time, Zhao Chenfeng brought the people of the Black Emperor Sect all the way to the foot of the Sword Sect. As one of the Four Great Princes of the Black Emperor Sect and a true End Realm expert, Zhao Chenfeng had obediently paid a visit. This was enough to prove that the Black Emperor Sect's attitude towards the Sword Sect had changed.
Although the experts of the Black Emperor Sect who followed behind Zhao Chenfeng felt uncomfortable in their hearts, they didn't dare complain in the slightest.
They weren't stupid. They knew that the Sword Sect was no longer the Sword Sect of the past. If they still dared to fly directly above the Sword Sect, there was no doubt that the experts of the Sword Sect would immediately kill them.
One must know that the current Sword Sect didn't fear the Black Emperor Sect at all. Moreover, even if the experts of the Sword Sect killed them, the Black Emperor Sect wouldn't start a war with the Sword Sect.
Therefore, when it was time to be honest, it was better to be honest.
They arrived at the entrance of the Sword Sect. At this moment, there were four disciples guarding the entrance. When they saw Zhao Chenfeng bringing people over, the four disciples immediately blocked their path. Zhao Chenfeng didn't make things difficult for them and said indifferently, "Black Emperor Sect's Tiger King Zhao Chenfeng is here to pay his respects to Sect Leader Xiao Chen."
Hearing Zhao Chenfeng's words, the four disciples were first stunned. However, they quickly revealed a nervous expression. At the same time, they respectfully said to Zhao Chenfeng, "Greetings, Tiger King."
Although Zhao Chenfeng appeared polite, how could the four disciples resist the pressure that Zhao Chenfeng unconsciously emitted? Not to mention, Zhao Chenfeng's identity was enough for these disciples to look up to.
Therefore, after knowing Zhao Chenfeng's identity, the four disciples respectfully bowed. Their attitude was simply respectful to the extreme.
Zhao Chenfeng's visit was quickly reported by someone. After that, Cang Xing personally came to welcome Zhao Chenfeng.
At the mountain gate, Cang Xing appeared in front of Zhao Chenfeng in a mere hundred breaths of time. Following the appearance of Cang Xing, the four Sword Sect disciples secretly heaved a sigh of relief. There was nothing they could do about it. Previously, when they faced Zhao Chenfeng, the four disciples almost felt suffocated. Now that Cang Xing had appeared, the four of them were greatly relieved.
He bowed respectfully to Cang Xing and said, "Greetings, Deputy Sect Master."
Facing the four people's greetings, Cang Xing nodded slightly. At the same time, he strode in front of Zhao Chenfeng and laughed loudly, "Brother Zhao, what wind blew you here today?"
Zhao Chenfeng walked up the mountain, introduced himself, and even waited here for Cang Xing to arrive. Without a doubt, he had already given the Sword Sect enough face. As such, Cang Xing naturally wouldn't offend Zhao Chenfeng for no reason. Since the other party had given him face, Cang Xing naturally had to treat him warmly.
Cang Xing took the initiative to smile and said enthusiastically. After saying that, Cang Xing turned his head to look at the four disciples and said.
"You guys are simply ridiculous. Don't you know etiquette when the Tiger King arrives? You actually made the Tiger King wait outside the mountain gate. Hmph. "
The four disciples were indeed scared out of their wits, so they didn't care about being rude at all. Now that they were scolded by Cang Xing, the four of them lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.
Of course, Cang Xing's scolding was just for show for Zhao Chenfeng. After all, it was indeed a little inappropriate to leave Zhao Chenfeng outside the mountain gate. In fact, it could even be said that it was a little too much.
Cang Xing's scolding was also considered giving face to Zhao Chenfeng. Regarding this, Zhao Chenfeng also smiled and said, "Cang Xing, don't scold them.
It's just a small matter, don't take it to heart. "
Zhao Chenfeng took the initiative to speak up for the four disciples. Hearing this, Cang Xing also rode his donkey down the slope and replied with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, please forgive me. It's my Sword Sect's fault for not disciplining them properly. Come, let's not talk about this anymore. It's rare for Brother Zhao to come here. Today, you and I must not return until we're drunk. Speaking of which, we haven't drunk together for a hundred years."
Cang Xing and Zhao Chenfeng knew each other before. There was nothing strange about this. Moreover, the two of them had a good relationship before. However, with the decline of the Sword Sect, the Black Emperor Sect wanted to annex the Sword Sect. As a result, the two of them gradually lost contact with each other.
Now, because of the rise of the Sword Sect, the Black Emperor Sect knew that it was impossible to annex the Sword Sect. The best way was to get along well with each other. As a result, Cang Xing and Zhao Chenfeng had another chance to drink together.
Cang Xing personally brought Zhao Chenfeng into the Sword Sect. After settling down the experts of the Black Emperor Sect behind Zhao Chenfeng, Cang Xing pulled Zhao Chenfeng to his cave to drink.
In Cang Xing's cave, Zhao Chenfeng and Lin Qing were sitting in a pavilion in the courtyard. They personally poured a cup of wine for Zhao Chenfeng. Cang Xing said with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, let me introduce you. This is Brother Lin, Lin Qing. Like me, he is also one of the Vice Sect Masters of the Sword Sect."
Lin Qing and Zhao Chenfeng had met before, but they weren't familiar with each other. Therefore, Cang Xing only gave a simple introduction. Hearing this, Zhao Chenfeng smiled and took the initiative to greet him. "So it's Brother Lin."
"Brother Zhao, there's no need to be so courteous. I've long heard of the Tiger King's fame. It's my honor to meet you today. Cheers." Hearing Zhao Chenfeng's words, Lin Qing smiled and raised his cup, draining it in one gulp.
Cang Xing and Lin Qing warmly welcomed Zhao Chenfeng. However, from the beginning to the end, Xiao Chen didn't show up.
Not showing up didn't mean that Xiao Chen didn't know that Zhao Chenfeng was coming. Rather, Xiao Chen didn't plan to meet Zhao Chenfeng immediately.
After all, the strength of the Sword Sect was extraordinary. As the Sect Master, no matter what Xiao Chen did, he had to consider the Sword Sect. It could even be said that Xiao Chen's every action represented the entire Sword Sect.
As a result, many things couldn't be handled as simply as before.
Take Zhao Chenfeng's matter for example. As one of the Four Great Princes of the Black Emperor Sect, although his status was high, it was only on par with Cang Xing and the other Vice Sect Masters. Since Xiao Chen was the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, how could Xiao Chen immediately appear to welcome Zhao Chenfeng?
Think about it, if Zhao Chenfeng had just appeared in the Sword Sect and Xiao Chen had personally come out to welcome him, what would the world think of this?
As the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, he actually immediately went to welcome a prince. Didn't this mean that the Sword Sect was still afraid of the Black Emperor Sect?
After all, in terms of status, Cang Xing was a level lower than Xiao Chen. Of course, if the Sect Master of the Black Emperor Sect, He Sui, personally came, then Xiao Chen would definitely personally welcome him. After all, the two of them had equal status.
Moreover, if He Sui personally came, Xiao Chen still had Cang Xing personally come out to welcome him. To put it bluntly, this was not giving the Black Emperor Sect any face.
