Looking at the back of the Burning Sky Sect disciple who was running away, Xiao Chen put on an interested expression and asked: "Sect Master Duan, where did that Profound Cloud Sect come from? Could it be that the Burning Sky Sect has a relationship with them? Or did you guys offend someone from the Profound Cloud Sect before, so they came to find trouble? I don't think I've heard you guys mention this sect before! "
"Hehe, Exalted Immortal Xiao, you think too highly of our Burning Sky Sect!" Duan Suqing helplessly laughed bitterly and waved his hand: "The Profound Cloud Sect ranks second in the entire cultivation world in terms of foundation and strength! How could the Burning Sky Sect have such great charisma, what kind of relationship could we have with them? It's even more impossible to offend such a colossus. They only need to move their fingers and they can annihilate our entire sect. Why bother humiliating ourselves? "
"It's only second place! What's so great about it? Then what's the number one sect in the cultivation world? "When Hong Zhu heard Duan Suqing's description, he couldn't help but curl his lips and snort.
In Hong Zhu's mind, Xiao Chen was the most powerful person. The other number one and number two were all trash, not worth mentioning at all!
"Master's wife, let me tell you this!" Gong Shaoxi put down the pen and paper that recorded the treasures, jumped out from the pile of herbs, shook off the dried leaves on his clothes, and said with a smile: "There are three great sects at the top of the cultivation world. Number one is the Huan Chen Pavilion, number two is the Profound Cloud Sect, and the last is the Cang Hua Sect."
"Three great sects?" Hong Zhu frowned and muttered with some disdain: "Why do I hear these three great sects' names sound so mediocre? They're just mediocre. Could it be that there aren't any other powerful sects or clans that can compare to them? "
"This …" Gong Shaoxi scratched his head and said with some uncertainty: "I've actually heard that in recent years, there seem to be two mysterious sects that have suddenly emerged. Their strength is developing rapidly, and they're showing signs of catching up to the three great sects!"
"Oh? So magical? " Hong Zhu's interest was immediately piqued. He held his chin and asked curiously: "Elder sister, I feel that the two sects you mentioned are a bit interesting. Disciple, do you know their origins?"
Gong Shaoxi rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly. "Uh … Although they have been developing very quickly recently, they were only small sects in the past. No one has ever carefully investigated their origins. Moreover, I heard that the whereabouts of these two sects are very secretive and they rarely appear in the Immortal Cultivation World. So, I actually don't know much about them. Sorry to disappoint Master's wife."
Hong Zhu pursed his lips in disinterest. Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Chen waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Alright, little Hong Zhu, we don't have time to inquire about these trivial matters. Let's go and chat with the people from the Profound Cloud Sect first! Let's see what their purpose for coming here is. It won't be too late to chat after we've settled this. " Xiao Chen had always been brooding over the Profound Cloud Sect's intentions. He had a strong feeling that this sect had come with ill intentions, so he wanted to solve this problem first. As for other matters, he could deal with them later.
Xiao Chen had always been brooding over the purpose of the Profound Cloud Sect's visit. He had a strong feeling that this sect probably did not come with good intentions, so he wanted to solve this problem first. As for other things, it would not be too late to deal with them later.
In the main seat of the living room, sat an old man wearing a light green robe. Behind him stood five young men. Each of them had a dignified expression on their faces and did not conceal their cultivation. They were all experts at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage!
This old man was the Profound Cloud Sect's Elder Nan Gong. He picked up the cup that was respectfully handed to him by a servant and took a sip. Soon after, he frowned and slammed the cup heavily on the table. It was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the tea.
Raising his eyes, Elder Nan Gong just happened to see Xiao Chen and his party coming towards him. He didn't have any intention of standing up and continued to sit leisurely on the chair. His expression was neither cold nor warm, making it very difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"Hahaha, this must be the famous Elder Nan Gong. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! I've heard so much about you! " After walking into the hall, Duan Suqing cupped his fists and bowed according to the rules. He slightly leaned forward and said some polite words.
Elder Nan Gong made a sound of "oh", but still didn't stand up. His eyes were lowered as if he was studying the patterns on the ground, as if he hadn't heard Duan Suqing's greetings.
Duan Suqing awkwardly coughed twice, and then respectfully said: "Elder Nangong's presence this time is truly an honor for our Burning Heaven Sect. I don't know what advice you have for our humble sect?"
Only then did Elder Nan Gong raise his eyes. His sharp eyes swept over everyone, pausing on Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu for a moment. Then, he turned his gaze to Duan Suqing and asked expressionlessly, "There's no need for advice. This old man heard that a few days ago, you exterminated a group of bandits and obtained a lot of heavenly treasures from their storehouse. Is this true?"
"Haha, I didn't think that this gossip would spread so quickly." Duan Suqing was stunned. He didn't think that Elder Nan Gong would actually ask such a question. He subconsciously pointed at Xiao Chen and said, "It's all thanks to Immortal Xiao's help that our humble sect was able to successfully exterminate that group of bandits in one fell swoop. We've let Elder Nan Gong see a joke!"
Although he said that, Duan Suqing muttered in his heart: Isn't this old fellow's nose a little too sensitive? The Profound Cloud Sect is about a few hundred kilometers away from the Burning Heavens Sect. How did he know that the bandits were exterminated? And what does this have to do with the Profound Cloud Sect?
Although he was muttering, Duan Suqing didn't have any intention of hiding it. Since this Elder Nan Gong could mention this matter as soon as he came up, it meant that he had already done his investigation beforehand. Even if he lied and said that there was no such thing, he would still be exposed in the end. It was better to admit it frankly.
"Immortal … Xiao?" Elder Nan Gong looked in the direction that Duan Suqing was pointing at. His expression couldn't help but become sluggish. He carefully looked at Xiao Chen and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you talking about this young man?"
"That's right. Immortal Xiao's strength is outstanding, and he has made great contributions to our Burning Heavens Sect. He's a great benefactor of our sect!" Duan Suqing nodded and introduced him very enthusiastically.
Elder Nan Gong glanced at Xiao Chen again and said indifferently, "I really couldn't tell that at such a young age, you're actually being praised as an Immortal! As far as I know, that bandit leader seems to be an expert at the Nascent Soul Stage? To be able to kill him without a scratch, it seems that you do have some ability. "
