Currently, Ba Hun was no longer a soul, but a living person with flesh and blood. Seeing Ba Hun's true body, Xiao Chen, who already knew that Ba Hun was still alive, wasn't surprised at all. His face remained calm, with a faint smile on his face.
Ba Hun wore a white and blue robe, and his hair and beard were all white. His face seemed old, but it was radiant. His dignified aura was awe-inspiring. Ba Hun sat on the main seat, his posture as an expert filled with dominance.
Xiao Chen smiled at Ba Hun. His gaze shifted slightly, and he nodded at the divine alchemist and venerable Martial God on his left. Afterwards, there was nothing else. Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the others.
Originally, he wanted to greet them politely. After all, they were seniors of the Saints' World. Moreover, they had been set up by Ba Hun. But when he saw their disdainful and mocking gazes, Xiao Chen had no reason to stick close to them and invite a snub.
There were many people in the hall, both young and old. Being able to stand in the hall meant that they either held high positions or were descendants of elders. Seeing Xiao Chen's appearance, the others frowned and their faces sank slightly. However, they didn't dare to say anything. They knew Xiao Chen's identity very well. Even if they didn't give face to Xiao Chen, they still had to give face to Ba Hun.
The atmosphere was rather heavy. How could Ba Hun not know the reason? However, he still smiled faintly. He looked at Xiao Chen with excitement and anticipation. Ba Hun nodded in admiration, and then smiled proudly, "Everyone, this is my good disciple, Xiao Chen. After many years of waiting, he has finally successfully ascended to the Saints' World."
In the main hall, everyone nodded their heads. Fake smiles appeared on their faces. Some of the younger generation not only looked down on them, but they were also envious of them.
"Little brother Xiao Chen, we meet again," the divine alchemist smiled faintly. At the side, the ancient divine alchemist was the first to speak with a faint smile. The divine alchemist did not simply greet Xiao Chen. He was well aware of everyone's gazes just now. The reason he spoke was to show that he was on Xiao Chen's side.
As expected, the expressions of the others changed slightly when they heard the divine alchemist speak to Xiao Chen politely. However, when they thought about how the divine alchemist had already met Xiao Chen in the God World before he returned, they understood.
Xiao Chen looked at the divine alchemist and smiled kindly. He nodded politely, "Senior Divine Alchemist."
Reverend Wu Shen, who was standing beside the ancient medicine god, also nodded at Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen just smiled back.
"Hehe, little brother Xiao Chen really is a rare genius to be able to ascend to the Saints' World from the God World," an elder nodded at Xiao Chen as he smiled reluctantly.
He was the grand elder of the Tyrant Soul Temple, Lin Xiaotian. He wore grey robes and his face was covered in wrinkles. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He was experienced, and his dignified presence and presence were enough to tell that the grand elder's cultivation was unfathomable.
The Second Elder beside the Great Elder also nodded with a smile and praised, "Great Elder is right. How can the person chosen by Tyrant Soul Sage be incompetent?"
The second elder, Fan Yun, wore black robes. His white hair was bound up, and he wore an exquisite golden hairpin. He seemed like an old daoist priest. His face was slightly skinny, and he wore a fake smile.
However, while the second elder seemed to be praising Xiao Chen, it made Xiao Chen frown slightly. He glanced at the second elder indifferently and Xiao Chen smiled without leaving a trace. He smiled bitterly inside, "These old bastards always like to be sarcastic when they speak."
As for the third elder, he only nodded at Xiao Chen indifferently. His eyes were calm, and he did not praise him at all. However, Xiao Chen had a slightly good impression of him.
The others also praised him. They all had a high opinion of Tyrant Soul's direct disciple whom they had never met before, but they didn't dare to compliment him.
From a certain perspective, they were being polite to Xiao Chen out of respect for Tyrant Soul. They didn't care how strong Xiao Chen was in the past, but there was no lack of such geniuses in the Divine World. Without strength, anything said would be nonsense.
However, Xiao Chen was very clear about this. He had just stepped into the Holy World, and his cultivation was at the bottom of the Holy World. Therefore, he tactfully remained silent and nodded in return with a smile.
Xiao Chen knew very well that these old bastards looked down on him. Even if he was Tyrant Soul's direct disciple, without strength, it was impossible for him to gain their approval. No matter how much he said, it would be useless. He might as well prove it with his actions.
"Haha!" On the main seat, Tyrant Soul laughed heartily when he heard everyone's praise, regardless of whether it was sincere or not.
"Greetings, Master. Greetings, Elders and Seniors." Xiao Chen ignored these people's contemptuous gazes and sarcastic words and bowed politely to Tyrant Soul. As for the others, Xiao Chen only greeted them indifferently.
"Good!" Tyrant Soul stood up happily. Xiao Chen's greeting made him even happier.
Xiao Chen's indifference made the faces of many people in the hall sink. Their eyes flashed with anger. He had just ascended to the Holy World, yet he was so arrogant. Did he really think that he could overturn the heavens just because he was Tyrant Soul's direct disciple?
But now that Tyrant Soul was happy, they didn't dare to say anything, lest they angered him.
After a brief introduction, Xiao Chen was able to get to know everyone in the hall. He also learned that this palace belonged to Tyrant Soul, and its name was Tyrant Soul Holy Palace. The entire holy palace was huge and extravagant, and there were many powerful cultivators, which could be seen from the extremely terrifying aura emanating from it.
"As expected of the Holy World." He praised inwardly. There were as many experts as there were clouds in the Holy World. Any one of them could kill the ridiculously strong Flame Demon with a wave of their hand. But it was also because of this that Xiao Chen's crazy motivation to cultivate was ignited. His pitch-black eyes were blazing.
"Tyrant Soul Saint, according to the rules of the temple, those who have not reached the Saint Ruler realm cannot stay in the temple. They must be assigned to a subordinate force. This is the rule." In the hall, the First Elder's faint laughter suddenly rang out, and he deliberately emphasized the word 'rule'.
Xiao Chen's expression changed abruptly, and his blazing eyes turned cold in an instant because of what Ye Futian had said. There was even a hint of murderous intent and anger in his eyes.
Even Tyrant Soul's face became unsightly at this moment. He frowned slightly and glanced at the First Elder. He said with slight anger, "The rules are set by me. I can change them at any time."
"Rules are rules. Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. If you change them casually, it'll probably be difficult to convince everyone in the future," Lin Xiaotian sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"You!" Tyrant Soul became furious. His face sank, but there was nothing he could do. His face twitched as he cursed inside, "How dare you! If it weren't for the fact that I need these old bastards to deal with Yan Kui, I would have killed them all with a single slap right now!"
"This old bastard is clearly targeting me," Jian Chen glanced at Lin Xiaotian indifferently. He glanced at Lin Xiaotian and sighed inside. Sure enough, without strength, he could only endure everything.
"Grand elder, Xiao Chen is the direct disciple of Tyrant Soul Saint. He's not just anyone. His position as a direct disciple is probably no lower than great commanders. This rule doesn't seem to apply to Xiao Chen," the ancient alchemist spoke up for him when he saw how calm Xiao Chen was.
The second elder glanced at the ancient alchemist with that, and disdain flashed through his eyes. He smiled bitterly, "Sigh, this isn't an issue of position. Rules are rules. Xiao Chen has just ascended to the Saints' World. Although he's a cultivation genius, he can't break the rules because of this, or it'll lead to great trouble in the future."
Xiao Chen shook his head when he saw how worried the second elder was. He laughed dryly and said, "You're right, second elder. Since it's a rule, it's best if I don't break it. I will definitely remember this rule. I might be in the Saints' World for a little longer, a few decades or a few centuries."
The second elder could not help but frown when he heard that, especially Xiao Chen's last sentence. A sliver of anger flashed through his deep eyes. Xiao Chen's words were clearly directed at him, but the second elder nodded with a smile.
Lin Xiaotian and many other experts frowned slightly when they heard Xiao Chen's earnest words. Xiao Chen's words meant that their future descendants would have to follow this rule as well.
A few simple words were enough to shut everyone up. They could feel that Xiao Chen was not as easy to provoke as they had imagined.
Tyrant Soul looked deeply at Xiao Chen. He knew him extremely well, but he did not say anything. However, his anger from before had been swept away.
From the conflict between Tyrant Soul and the first elder, Xiao Chen could tell that Tyrant Soul had his own difficulties in the Tyrant Soul Temple, so he did not say anything.
To Xiao Chen, it didn't matter whether he was in the Tyrant Soul Temple or not. However, Xiao Chen was extremely displeased that these old fellows did not put his master in their eyes.
In the end, Tyrant Soul brought Xiao Chen to his residence, which was the luxurious pavilion in the backyard.
"Chen 'er, you must have noticed earlier that without strength, those old bastards won't even look at you. If it weren't for the fact that I needed them to deal with Yan Kui, I would have crippled them long ago. Moreover, I still haven't recovered from my injuries. The reason why I got the divine alchemist and the others to come back was to keep them in check. They've been eyeing the position of hall master for a long time," Tyrant Soul sighed and smiled bitterly after glancing at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded when he heard that. A smear of obscurity flashed through his eyes, and he smiled faintly, "I understand. I will use the opportunity to shut them up, and the position of hall master will never end up in their hands."
"Yes, very good. I believe you can do it. You can dominate the God World, so you can definitely show yourself in the Saints' World! I still need your help. If you stay here and cultivate, those old bastards will definitely make things difficult for you again, "Tyrant Soul nodded in satisfaction.
"Don't worry, master. I won't disappoint you," Xiao Chen nodded and smiled faintly. His pitch-black eyes burned with passion.
