Xiao Chen was still able to gain the upper hand even though there was a gap of a whole realm between them. Although Xiao Chen had not caused any substantial harm to the elder of the Heavenly Sect, and it was still too early to say who would win or lose, the combat strength that Xiao Chen had displayed was enough to shock everyone present. Xiao Chen was still able to gain the upper hand even though there was a gap of a whole realm between them. Although Xiao Chen had not caused any substantial harm to the elder of the Heavenly Sect, and it was still too early to say who would win or lose, the combat strength that Xiao Chen had displayed was enough to shock everyone present.
If there were some people who had doubts about the younger generation like Xiao Chen and felt that it was too early for them to control an era, then now, after personally witnessing the top combat strength of the younger generation, there was no need for such doubts.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that since Xiao Chen was able to fight with this Hetian Sect Elder, then the other geniuses definitely had combat strength comparable to an End Realm expert.
At such a young age, with such cultivation, they were able to fight against an End Realm expert. Looking at it this way, the younger generation had indeed completely matured.
Xiao Chen's combat strength exceeded everyone's expectations. Seeing that the Elder was forced back by Xiao Chen, the other four Elders of the Hetian Sect immediately made a decision and gave the order to retreat.
Now wasn't the time to fight with the Sword Sect. Moreover, if they continued to fight, the result would be hard to say. Therefore, the Hetian Sect chose to retreat.
Hearing that the other four gave the order to retreat, the Elder who was fighting with Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Chen unhappily. However, he didn't say anything and obediently turned around and left quickly.
This Elder didn't have the intention to continue fighting with Xiao Chen. As for his departure, Xiao Chen didn't force him to stay.
This was because this Elder knew that it wouldn't be easy to take down Xiao Chen, so he didn't continue fighting. Xiao Chen also knew that although he had the upper hand, he was far from being able to suppress his opponent. Therefore, even if he forced him to stay, he wouldn't be able to stop him if he insisted on leaving.
However, although it was a draw, after the battle with this Hetian Sect Elder, Xiao Chen had a clearer understanding of his own combat strength. Facing an ordinary or low-level End Realm expert, with his current strength, he could indeed compete with them. He didn't dare to say that he would win, but protecting himself wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Such an outcome was already very good for Xiao Chen.
As the people of Hetian Sect quickly retreated, the battle quickly came to an end. Under the attacks of the experts of the Sword Sect, Hetian Sect finally retreated.
As the experts of Hetian Sect quickly retreated, the people of Spirit Crane Sect came in front of Xiao Chen and the others. The three old ancestors of Spirit Crane Sect, as well as Qi Mu, took the lead and bowed respectfully to Xiao Chen.
"Thank you, Sect Leader, for saving us. The entire Spirit Crane Sect will never forget this."
"There's no need for that. Spirit Crane Sect is a subsidiary sect of the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect naturally wouldn't sit by and do nothing." Hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't mind and smiled lightly.
Facing Xiao Chen, the three old ancestors of Spirit Crane Sect were relatively calm. After all, no matter what, the three of them were End Realm experts and had seen a lot. They should be respectful, but they wouldn't be too deliberate or nervous.
On the contrary, Qi Mu, who was standing beside the three of them, was unusually excited when facing Xiao Chen. His eyes were filled with incomparable admiration.
As he continued to interact with Xiao Chen, Qi Mu didn't notice that his admiration for Xiao Chen was getting stronger and stronger. The current Qi Mu probably wouldn't even frown if Xiao Chen asked him to die.
This was because in Qi Mu's eyes, Xiao Chen was his idol and his life goal.
He also noticed that Qi Mu was looking at him with fanatical admiration. However, Xiao Chen didn't say much about it. After exchanging some pleasantries, Xiao Chen was led by the people of Spirit Crane Sect to the main hall of Spirit Crane Sect.
Due to the previous battle, many places in Spirit Crane Sect were damaged. Fortunately, the main hall didn't suffer much damage because of the protection of the talisman array.
At this moment, in the main hall, Xiao Chen, Nangong Guan, Li Ke, Lin Qing, Yang Song, Qi Mu, and the three old ancestors of Spirit Crane Sect were gathered together. As for the others, they had all gone to recuperate.
Sitting on the main seat, Qi Mu and the three old ancestors of Spirit Crane Sect were below Xiao Chen's right hand side. Nangong Guan and the other three old ancestors were below Xiao Chen's left hand side.
Looking directly at Qi Mu, Xiao Chen didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "Qi Mu, I'm thinking of extending the power of the Sword Sect to Spirit Crane Sect. This way, we can take care of each other and support each other more conveniently."
The meaning of Xiao Chen's words was obvious. He wanted to expand the area of the Sword Mansion.
After all, although the Sword Sect had announced to the public that it was independent and established the Sword Mansion, the area of the Sword Mansion was still too small compared to the entire He Tian Prefecture. After all, the Sword Mansion was just the land of the Jian Province. Its area was only a fraction of the size of the He Tian Prefecture.
Therefore, Xiao Chen wanted to expand the area of the Sword Mansion. Since the Spirit Crane Sect had joined the Sword Sect, it wasn't impossible for the Sword Sect to extend their power here and make this place a part of the Sword Mansion. Of course, this would require the full support of the Spirit Crane Sect.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, with Qi Mu's admiration for Xiao Chen, it was naturally impossible for him to refuse. Without any hesitation, Qi Mu nodded and said, "Since it's an order from the Sect Leader, we'll naturally obey it. Everyone in the Spirit Crane Sect will be at your disposal at any time."
Qi Mu supported Xiao Chen unconditionally. Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled faintly. This Qi Mu was indeed interesting. However, with his loyalty to the Sword Sect and himself, there was no need to worry too much about this person.
If he wanted to extend the area of the Sword Mansion's influence and become an equal to the He Tian Prefecture, there was still a process to be done. Moreover, this was only the beginning.
Xiao Chen's ultimate goal was to completely control the He Tian Prefecture and turn it into the Sword Sect. Then, he would annihilate the He Tian Sect and replace it with the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect would truly stand among the Ten Great Ling Tian Sects and obtain Tenzu's approval.
This was the path that Xiao Chen was going to take. There would definitely be many difficulties during this period. As soon as Qi Mu's words left his mouth, his master stood up and bowed to Xiao Chen as he said calmly, "Sect Leader, I'm afraid I have to say something."
"Sect Leader, there's something that I don't want to say."
"Oh, there's no harm in speaking," Xiao Chen said with a smile as he looked at Qi Mu's master, indicating that he did not need to worry.
