Eighty miles to the northwest of Tingfeng Garden was the manor where the second family lived.
Ji Tianxing walked through the night like a ghost and landed quietly in the manor.
There were guards both inside and outside the manor and it was heavily guarded.
However, no one could detect him. Not even his aura could be sensed.
After sneaking around the manor for a while, he sensed the spiritual aura of the masked man. It was in a secret chamber underground.
Hence, he sneaked into the ground and stuck close to the wall of the secret chamber. He used a secret technique to investigate the situation in the secret chamber.
In the dark secret chamber, there were only two people who were whispering to each other.
One of them was a young man in a brocade robe. It was Xiao Chong.
The other person was a middle-aged man in a black robe with a veil covering his face.
Xiao Chong looked at the masked man and asked with anticipation, "Father, is the matter settled?"
The masked man nodded slightly, and said with a tone full of conceit, "Of course, nothing will go wrong if I take action for my father. Don't worry, you will be able to enjoy a good show tomorrow night! "
Xiao Chong was so excited that his cheeks turned red. He laughed coldly and said, "Hehe, that's great! This time, that kid is dead meat!
In order to get our hands on the First Elder's Soaring White Sun Scripture, we have put in a lot of effort and risked a lot of danger. Luckily, the plan succeeded. Everything was worth it! "
The masked man nodded and said with a sinister smile, "Hmph, the Soaring White Sun Scripture is a Spirit Level Cultivation Skill created by our Patriarch. It is also the reason why our Xiao Family has been able to pass it down for thousands of years!
Such a peerless Godly Skill is a priceless treasure to our Xiao Family. Only the First Elder of each generation can control it. Even I am not qualified to take a look at it.
When tomorrow's Holy Fire Festival is exposed in front of the entire Xiao Family, that kid will have to bear the wrath of the entire Xiao Family!
When that time comes, even Xiao Han will not be able to protect him. Even Xiao Han will be implicated! "
Xiao Chong nodded and laughed proudly. "Hahaha … That's right. A lowly branch family descendant dares to fight with us. He must have a death wish!"
Outside the secret chamber, Ji Tianxing was hiding underground. He heard the conversation between Xiao Chong and Xiao Chong clearly.
"Just as I expected, Xiao Chong, that bastard, really wants to harm me!
But I didn't expect that his father, Xiao Zhan, would personally make a move. He really spared no effort! "
Ji Tianxing muttered in his heart as a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
He did not continue to listen to the conversation between Xiao Chong and his son. He quietly traveled underground for a while and entered a room.
The furnishings of this room were very luxurious. There were abundant cultivation resources stored within, and it was also filled with a dense True Essence aura.
That was Xiao Chong's aura.
This room must be Xiao Chong's bedroom.
Thus, Ji Tianxing stretched out his hand and pressed it into the wall. His palm was as sharp as a blade, and he cut open the bluestone wall effortlessly.
He took out the treasure box from his spatial ring and hid it in the wall.
Then, he rubbed his palms against the green stone wall and used his Qi to smooth it out, leaving no traces behind.
After doing this, he quietly left the room and left the manor.
Throughout the entire process, he did not make a single sound, nor did he alert anyone.
Fifteen minutes later, he returned to his residence in Tingfeng Garden. He sat in his room and meditated.
The night passed very quickly.
After dawn, the entire Xiao Clan was bustling with activity.
Today was the day of the Holy Fire Festival. It would be held tonight at Evergreen Mountain.
Evergreen Mountain was the main peak of this mountain range. It was also where the disciples of the first branch resided.
There was not only a vast and luxurious manor on that thousand-zhang tall mountain, but there was also a plaza that could accommodate ten thousand people.
In the north of the plaza stood a three-hundred-zhang tall statue of the Xiao Clan's Patriarch.
Beside the statue was a three-hundred-zhang tall ancient pine tree. It had a history of a thousand years, but it was still dark green and full of vitality.
That ancient pine tree was evergreen. It also meant that the Xiao Clan would always be prosperous and evergreen.
This was also where the name Evergreen Mountain came from.
Early in the morning, the disciples of the Xiao Clan started to get busy.
Countless young disciples and servants rushed to the plaza of Evergreen Mountain to clean up the fallen leaves and decorate the venue for the Holy Fire Festival.
The dozens of young disciples, including Xiao Ling`er and Xiao Chen, were cultivating intensely, repeatedly practicing the secret techniques of the Martial Dao.
These young disciples were going to participate in the Holy Fire Festival's test tonight and strive to get a good ranking in the test.
The rules of the Xiao Clan were very straightforward and simple.
Only the disciples with outstanding talent and aptitude could obtain more abundant cultivation resources and receive the guidance and guidance of senior experts.
Only the two most outstanding young disciples were qualified to leave the Xiao Clan and venture out into the outside world.
For the entire day, the disciples of the Xiao Clan's ninth branch discussed, filled with anticipation for the Holy Fire Festival tonight.
Everyone was discussing which young genius would obtain the top two spots and obtain the qualification to leave the Xiao Clan.
Some people believed that Xiao Chong and Xiao Ke would obtain the top two spots. However, there were also people who felt that the top two spots would be Xiao Chen and Xiao Ling`er.
Aside from these people, there were a few other genius disciples who also had a chance to obtain the top two spots.
In short, the disciples of the various branches all had different opinions.
Ji Tianxing was not interested in this. No matter who passed the Holy Fire Festival's test or who could leave the Xiao Clan, it had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Chen sat in his room and meditated until evening. Then, he walked out of his room and rushed to Evergreen Mountain.
Xiao Chen's expression was as calm as water. However, a thought flashed in his mind. "There will definitely be a good show to watch tonight!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a playful, cold smile.
At the same time, a melodious voice called out to him from behind.
"Elder Brother Tianxing, please wait a moment!"
Ji Tianxing stopped and turned his head to look behind him. He saw Xiao Ling`er and Xiao Chen flying over as fast as the wind.
The two stopped in front of Xiao Chen, their faces filled with joy and gratitude.
"Elder Brother Tianxing, thank you so much!"
"Young Master Tianxing, many thanks for your help!"
The two greeted Ji Tianxing and bowed to him to express their gratitude.
Ji Tianxing guessed the reason. He asked with a calm expression, "Have you finished refining your Magic Treasures and obtained them?"
"Yes!" Xiao Ling`er quickly nodded and said excitedly, "We finished refining our Magic Treasures this afternoon.
After a few hours of practice, we can already familiarize ourselves with them.
Third Grandpa told us that if not for your help, he would not have been able to refine them so quickly.
Furthermore, you specially added two restriction formations on our Magic Treasures, increasing their might by fifty percent.
Xiao Chong, Xiao Ke, and Xiao Xue's Magic Treasures cannot be compared to ours! "
As she spoke, a white light surged in her palm, and a sword flickering with silver light appeared.
