The wooden house was usually very quiet. Except for Zhao Yuxi and Miao Cuiling, almost no disciples came to find Xiao Chen. Now, both inside and outside the house were surrounded by disciples of the Qinglan Holy Palace.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, is it true that you killed a lot of Liu Family guards and Rogue Cultivators at the foot of the mountain?" Zhao Yuxi asked impatiently as soon as he entered the room.
"Yes, Junior Brother Xiao Chen, did you do it?"
"Also, Junior Brother Xiao Chen, before you came back, I heard the people of the Chamber of Commerce whispering that the two elders of the Liu family and Liu Wuyou might have died. Did you kill them?"
The disciples scrambled to ask, their faces full of curiosity and excitement.
Looking at these senior brothers, Xiao Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly with a wry smile. He really did not expect these disciples to be so gossipy.
"Kind of." Xiao Chen said vaguely with a smile on his indifferent face.
Zhao Yuxi swallowed his saliva and was shocked. He said in surprise, "Junior Brother Xiao Chen, I really did not expect you to be so bold. Seventy to eighty guards of the Liu family died in your hands."
Seventy to eighty lives, how cruel was that method? The disciples were secretly frightened and felt a chill on their backs. Xiao Chen, who usually looked honest and did not talk much, was so scary when he was ruthless.
"This time, the Liu family can be said to have suffered a great loss."
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you are really good. Hiding in the mountains and assassinating them one by one, I admire you!"
"The most important thing is that even Liu Chengfeng and the others could not find you. Those Rogue Cultivators who wanted to get the reward were simply looking for death. Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you killed them well."
Zhao Yuxi and the others praised and all gave Xiao Chen a thumbs-up.
"However, the Liu Clan will definitely not let you go. Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you have to be mentally prepared. If the Palace Lord doesn't interfere, Liu Chengfeng and the others will definitely hunt you down." After praising him, Zhao Yuxi frowned slightly and sighed.
"Senior Brother Zhao, you worry too much. If Liu Chengfeng could really kill Junior Brother Xiao Chen, would Junior Brother Xiao Chen still be able to come back?" A disciple patted Zhao Yuxi's shoulder and laughed happily. He was not worried at all.
After pondering for a while, Zhao Yuxi looked away and said to Xiao Chen, "Junior Martial Brother Xiao Chen has just returned. Liu Chengfeng and the others all saw you, but they didn't do anything drastic. I feel that something is wrong. With such a huge grudge, aren't they acting too calm?"
"Junior Brother Zhao is right. Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you should be careful in the future." Nodding in agreement, Miao Cuiling frowned slightly and said softly.
Although Xiao Chen was not afraid of Liu Chengfeng and Liu Ruoqing with his current strength, he still nodded slightly. It was never wrong to be careful.
After a simple conversation, Miao Cuiling and the others went back to do other things. Tomorrow was the Battle of Green Shadow, so they needed to prepare the stage and entertain the guests.
The Battle of Green Shadow was a competition between the disciples of Qinglan Holy Palace and Mirage Holy Palace. Each side would choose three disciples to fight. The winner of two out of three matches would be the winner.
In the previous two Battle of Green Shadow, Qinglan Holy Palace had lost to Mirage Holy Palace. If they lost again this time, it would be three consecutive defeats. At that time, Qinglan Holy Palace didn't know where to put their face.
The next day, Sacred Cloud Chamber of Commerce, Liu Family, Zhang Family, Mirage Holy Palace, and other forces took their seats. Around the square, the disciples of Qinglan Holy Palace had already prepared the seats for the various forces. They had also arranged fruits, tea, and wine. As the host, they couldn't afford to be negligent.
Qinglan Holy Palace and Mirage Holy Palace sat on the steps below the main palace. There weren't many people from Mirage Holy Palace, only a dozen of them. They were the upper echelons of Mirage Holy Palace and the participating disciples.
As for the stage, of course, it was the square of Qinglan Holy Palace. It was just a simple boundary for the stage. Falling outside the boundary was considered a loss. Of course, there was no such thing as a boundary for a battle in the sky.
The rules of the competition were very simple. No elixirs, no hidden weapons, and no killing. Those who violated the rules would be considered a loss.
The whole place was silent. The disciples of Mirage Holy Palace were staring at the disciples of Qinglan Holy Palace. The upper echelons of other forces were looking at the upper echelons of Liu Family with gloating eyes. The upper echelons of Liu Family were staring at Xiao Chen with murderous eyes. However, Cai Yun, Wu Changkong, and Master Wanqian were looking at Xiao Chen with a strange look. There was even a trace of expectation in their eyes. The atmosphere was somewhat strange and oppressive.
Among the various forces, the Liu Family had the least number of people. There were only three of them: Liu Chengfeng, Liu Ruoqing, and Great Elder Liu Yunzhong. In the past, there would be Liu Wuyou, Third Elder, Second Elder, and some other Saint Spirit experts. But now, there were only three of them.
It was not difficult for the people present to guess that the few people from the Liu Family who did not come had most likely already died. The gloating and mocking gazes caused the Liu Chengfeng trio to feel extremely embarrassed. However, this also caused the fury in their hearts to soar to the heavens.
However, when the people present thought of the new disciple of Qinglan Holy Palace, they could not help but feel a little afraid. Killing seventy to eighty guards of Liu Family, and now even Liu Wuyou and two elders had disappeared. Everyone unanimously thought that it was Xiao Chen's doing.
Therefore, after glancing at the three people of Liu Family with gloating eyes, the upper echelons of various forces also looked at Xiao Chen, who was at the disciples of Qinglan Holy Palace.
In the battle of Qingying, Jiang Ming, who was supposed to be the main character, was now ignored by everyone. Instead, it was Xiao Chen who became the main character. Jiang Ming was extremely furious. The flesh on his face twitched from time to time. His pitch-black eyes swept towards Xiao Chen, and from time to time, a trace of murderous intent flashed past.
"Sir Xiao Chen has hidden his strength rather deeply. Haha, this time, Liu Family has kicked an iron plate." On the left side of the plaza, Wu Changkong smiled faintly. He unintentionally met Xiao Chen's gaze, and politely nodded his head in greeting.
"This battle of Qingying will likely be the most exciting one. It really makes one look forward to it." An enchanting smile surfaced on her pretty face. Her alluring body emitted an unusual fragrance that enchanted one's heart and soul. Her pretty eyes were pulled into a beautiful crescent. Her red lips parted slightly as she spoke with an enchanting smile. That sweet-sounding voice caused the hearts of the surrounding men to ripple.
The title of the number one beauty of Tai Yong City was not just for show. Other than their gazes sweeping towards Xiao Chen, all the men present unconsciously swept their gazes towards Caiyun's alluring figure.
To one side, grandmaster Qianqian casually played with his pure white beard. His aged face was somewhat grave. "I'm afraid that something big will happen today."
"Something big?" Caiyun and Wu Changkong could not help but look at each other. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes and asked at the same time.
However, grandmaster Qianqian kept his mouth shut, causing the two of them to feel extremely depressed.
"Thank you all for coming to Qingying Sacred Palace to watch the battle of Qingying." On the main seat, Fang Qianxing stood up and cupped his fists towards the upper echelons of various factions.
"Palace Master Fang is too polite." A charming smile appeared on Cai Yun's pretty face as she said with a faint smile.
Zhang Qingyun also cupped his hands together and smiled faintly. "The battle of Qingying is a contest between two genius disciples of the Sacred Palace. We naturally do not want to miss it."
"Palace master Fang, quickly begin." While everyone was exchanging pleasantries, Liu Chengfeng on the right side of the plaza impatiently said. His expression was clearly very ugly.
Hearing this, Fang Qianxing frowned slightly and glanced at Liu Chengfeng with a slightly angry gaze. A long while later, Fang Qianxing smiled faintly and said, "Then let's begin."
Ding Yan, who was dressed in a white robe, nodded to a disciple behind him. The disciple's feet suddenly touched the ground and his figure flew onto the plaza. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "I'll go first!"
This person was in his early thirties, tall and burly. He was the eldest disciple of the Mirage Sacred Palace, Song Tianliang. He wore a white robe and his long hair draped over his shoulders. His face was clean and his appearance could be considered normal. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Saint King Realm and his strength was tyrannical.
"Middle stage of the Saint King Realm. Amazing. As expected of a genius disciple of the Mirage Sacred Palace."
"Reaching the middle stage of the Saint King Realm at such a young age. His future achievements will definitely be great!"
When Song Tianliang stood on the square, it immediately caused a commotion in the surroundings. All of them were full of praise and envious gazes.
Song Tianliang was tall and sturdy, with the aura of an expert. He swept his cold and arrogant gaze at Jiang Ming. He grinned and said, "Jiang Ming, come on up. You can't be thinking of having the other disciples fight with me, right?"
"Humph! Arrogant fellow! "Frowning slightly, Zhao Yuxi snorted coldly.
"He is a little arrogant. However, whether Jiang Ming can win against him is still unknown. This person's strength is definitely not weak." Glancing at the unhappy Zhao Yuxi, Xiao Chen smiled faintly.
Seeing Song Tianliang's arrogant and slightly contemptuous expression, Jiang Ming's face darkened slightly. An imperceptible fierceness flashed across his eyes as he coldly said, "They want to do it, but I won't allow it."
If other disciples were to fight, the first battle would be lost without a doubt. Moreover, the other disciples would not dare to fight.
After saying that, he flew out. Fang Qianxing hurriedly warned him in a low voice, "Jiang Ming, Song Tianliang's cultivation is not weak. Don't underestimate him."
Nodding slightly, Jiang Ming's feet touched the ground. His body floated out and landed steadily on the plaza.
Jiang Ming had already broken through to the middle stage of the Saint King Realm. Song Tianliang had also just broken through to the middle stage of the Saint King Realm. Their strength could be said to be equally matched.
"Middle stage of the Saint King Realm. Let me see how much you have improved in these three years. However, let me tell you first. This time, our Mirage Saint Palace will still win." There was no trace of fear on his face. Instead, there was a hint of mockery. Song Tianliang smiled faintly.
"Don't speak too early. Do you really think you can win against me?" The flesh on Jiang Ming's face twitched. Song Tianliang's arrogance really made Jiang Ming furious. Jiang Ming said with a hint of anger, his fists clenched tightly.
The crowd below the plaza quieted down. Their gazes were focused on the two. The disciples of Qinglan Saint Palace were secretly nervous. The two of them were equally matched. They did not know if Jiang Ming could defeat Song Tianliang.
"Then I'll show you." The mocking smile on Song Tianliang's face deepened, and the contempt in his eyes deepened. Song Tianliang smiled faintly, full of confidence.
