As soon as Xiao Chen appeared at the entrance of the hall, the Leng Emperor and the others immediately noticed him. They all rushed over and greeted him respectfully.
Mu Yunshan and the others, who had already come out of seclusion, also came over from the square excitedly with smiles on their faces.
Yin-yang Shaotian patted Xiao Chen's shoulder gently and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, you've been in seclusion for so long. Your cultivation must have improved a lot, right?"
"With Brother Xiao Chen's talent and his alchemy skills, it shouldn't be a problem for him to improve his cultivation," Xiaoyao Huanyu added with a smile.
Hearing that, a happy smile appeared on his face. Xiao Chen rubbed his nose and said indifferently, "I've been in seclusion for more than two months. Wouldn't it be a waste of time if I didn't improve at all?"
"After two months of seclusion, he might have already broken through to the late-stage of the Saint Lord Realm! I know Xiao Chen very well, "Shen Tianhu said with a mischievous smile as he shook his handsome face at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled and didn't say anything else. He looked at the hall behind him and then looked around the Young Master Hall. Xiao Chen frowned and asked curiously, "Why don't I see my parents, Qing 'er, and the others? Little White Tiger, where are your parents and the other seniors? Are they still in seclusion? "
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you didn't ask. Your mother and Mu Qing went to Holy Sun City to explore the Holy World. My parents and the Yin-Yang School's headmaster went to look for a place nearby to build a palace. It's near the Tyrant Soul Temple," Shen Tianhu explained.
"I see. It's rare for us to ascend to the Holy World. We should go and take a look," Xiao Chen nodded and said with a smile. There was nothing strange about that.
Xuanyuan Ziyan shrugged helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "You know that those old guys are impatient. They can't wait any longer and can't wait to build it."
"You can't blame them. When they were in the Divine Realm, which one of them wasn't the strongest in the Divine Realm? Now that I've come to the Saints' World, I obviously want to strengthen my organisation as quickly as possible, "Xiao Chen smiled gently.
Xiao Chen paused for a moment, and then he suddenly frowned and asked curiously, "Right, I've always wanted to ask all of you, why haven't I seen the Sovereign Spirits and the others ascend? With their cultivation, I'm afraid they'll ascend earlier than you, right? "
"You don't know?" The instant they heard this, Mu Yunshan and the others were slightly stunned. One by one, they looked at each other. They were all extremely shocked.
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. No one had ever told him this before, so Xiao Chen naturally didn't understand.
"Xiao Chen, do you still remember when your master went to the Divine World to see Feng 'er and Qing' er?" Mo Yan was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly asked.
Nodding gently, Xiao Chen said, "Yes, master told me before he went to the Divine World."
"It was at that time. Senior Tyrant Soul said that the Sovereign Spirits and the others couldn't ascend yet, and they didn't need to ascend. Their identities were rather special. As for what happened, we don't know either," Mo Yan continued.
"Special identities? What do you mean by that? "Xiao Chen asked in astonishment, his face slightly stunned.
Gui Tu shrugged and added, "We don't know either. At that time, senior Tyrant Soul said that it was a matter of great importance and that you had to tell us so that it wouldn't leak out."
Looking at the Leng Emperor and the others below the stairs, Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "Leng Emperor, do you know what's going on?"
Hearing this, the Leng Emperor fell silent for a moment. Then, he waved his hand and set up a terrifying barrier in the Young Master Hall. He then respectfully cupped his fists at Xiao Chen and said, "Young Master, the Sovereign Spirits and the others' identities are indeed special. They are experts that the Tyrant Soul Palace Master has been secretly cultivating. The Tyrant Soul Palace Master had long noticed that Lin Xiaotian was plotting something, so he had already made preparations."
The Leng Emperor's caution showed that the Sovereign Spirits and the others' identities were indeed special. Frowning again, Xiao Chen asked, "Do you mean that master intends to let the Sovereign Spirits and the others replace Lin Xiaotian?"
The Leng Emperor nodded respectfully and said, "That's right. This is one of the reasons. The second reason is to deal with Yan Kui. Yan Kui has many experts under him. In the battle back then, the Ten Saint Soul Protectors were stopped by the Nine Venerables. The other experts were unable to suppress the experts under Yan Kui. Therefore, the Tyrant Soul Palace Master thought of secretly cultivating experts."
"So that's how it is. No wonder Master didn't care about anything and began to distance himself from them. It turns out that he was already prepared for this." Xiao Chen nodded lightly. The corners of his mouth curled into a sneer as he said indifferently.
"Let the Sovereign Spirits and the others replace Lin Xiaotian and the others? Special identities? Could it be that the Sovereign Spirits and the others' cultivations … "Ling Zhan's face suddenly changed when he heard the conversation between the two. He was extremely shocked.
Hearing Ling Zhan's words, the others seemed to have come to their senses as well. Their faces were also instantly filled with shock. They were so shocked that they froze.
"To be able to replace Lin Xiaotian and the others, the Sovereign Spirits and the others' cultivations are probably not simple." Xiao Chen frowned and looked at the Leng Emperor as he guessed.
"That is indeed the case. Yan Kui and the others are well aware of the strength of the Tyrant Soul Palace. Therefore, the Tyrant Soul Palace Master hid their identities and sealed their original cultivation and memories so that they could assist the young hall master in the God World. The Sovereign Spirits' original cultivation has already reached the early Saint Venerate while Qian Hun and the others are late Saint Emperors." The Leng Emperor nodded and said respectfully.
"Sss …"
The moment they heard this, Mu Yunshan and the others, including Xiao Chen, were so shocked that they gasped. Their eyes instantly widened to the extreme, and they all had looks of disbelief.
"The Sovereign Spirits are actually Saint Venerates! Qian Hun and the others are also Saint Emperors! "Mie Po swallowed his saliva in fear and said with a trembling voice. His eyes were filled with fear.
"How is this possible? Why are such terrifying experts in the God World? "
"I … I really don't dare to believe it."
"So the Sovereign Spirits and the others are actually so much more powerful than us …"
Mu Yunshan and the others all cried out in fear. They had become sheet-white from fright.
"They're hiding five terrifying experts. If we really do start fighting, the five of them will be enough to turn the situation around. It's already extremely difficult to deal with a single late Saint Emperor, let alone five," Xiao Chen said in a daze. He also found it rather hard to believe.
Glancing at Xiao Chen, the Leng Emperor continued, "Young hall master, after the ancient medicine god returned to the Saints' World, he and the Tyrant Soul Palace Master secretly nurtured many experts. They've all hidden themselves very well. Even I don't know where they are or who they are. In short, they're very mysterious. Their existence is the worst case scenario that the Tyrant Soul Palace Master has prepared for."
Letting out a deep breath, Xiao Chen suppressed his shock and nodded. He said, "Yeah, I've heard about that as well. I really never thought that the Sovereign Spirits and the others would have such an identity. I still find it rather hard to believe."
"Indeed. Thinking back to when we fought to the death in the God World, I really can't believe that the Sovereign Spirits and the others are actually experts of the Saints' World. Moreover, their cultivations are so terrifying," Xiaoyao Huanyu said as he patted his chest. He felt rather dizzy.
"Young hall master, you can't leak this out. If you hadn't asked, we wouldn't have told you," Yue Ying said immediately.
"We'll definitely keep our mouths shut!" Gui Tu and the others basically said in unison.
"The Sovereign Spirits and the others probably don't know about this yet, right? Their memories and cultivation have been sealed, "Xiao Chen said indifferently as he looked at the Leng Emperor.
"They really don't know. In their memories, they only know the Tyrant Soul Palace Master," the Leng Emperor said politely.
Xiao Chen smiled and made his way down the stairs. He smiled faintly, "Just treat this as a surprise for me."
It was indeed an extremely great surprise for Xiao Chen to learn about the Sovereign Spirits and the others' special identities and terrifying cultivations as soon as he emerged from seclusion.
Xiao Chen looked at the Leng Emperor. After a moment of thought, he suddenly asked, "Leng Emperor, answer me honestly. With the current strength of the Tyrant Soul Palace, can you deal with Yan Kui and the others?"
Everyone looked at the Leng Emperor. Only the Leng Emperor knew about the strength of the Tyrant Soul Palace.
Hearing this, the Leng Emperor glanced at Xiao Chen and the others. After a long silence, the Leng Emperor shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not. Young Palace Master, you may not know that apart from the three Elders and the nine Venerables, Yan Kui also has two Saint Venerables, the Left and Right Dharma Protector. In the battle back then, we suffered heavy casualties before they even made a move. In the end, if the Tyrant Soul Palace Master hadn't burned his soul to increase his strength and joined forces with Saint Venerable Windbreaker, we probably wouldn't have been able to seriously injure Yan Kui.
"The two Dharma Protector haven't made a move yet?" The expressions of Mu Yunshan and the others changed again. They became more and more frightened. They couldn't imagine how terrifying the strength of the Yan Kui Temple was.
"I see. It seems that the gap between us and the Yan Kui Temple is very big," Xiao Chen nodded solemnly. His heart sank a little.
Originally, he thought that the Leng Emperor would say that the Tyrant Soul Palace was on par with the Yan Kui Temple. Even if they weren't as strong as the Yan Kui Temple, they wouldn't be too much weaker. However, Xiao Chen had never thought that the Leng Emperor would say that they were unable to fend off the Yan Kui Temple.
"In the battle back then, both sides barely managed to suffer heavy casualties, so why didn't the two Dharma Protector take action?" Shen Tianhu asked with a frown. He was very doubtful.
"Because even a rabbit will bite when it's forced. If I've guessed correctly, they were probably worried that Saint Venerable Windbreaker would burn his soul to increase his cultivation and take them down with him. Yan Kui was heavily injured, so they didn't dare to act too recklessly," Xiao Chen said indifferently.
"The young palace master is correct. Aside from Yan Kui, no one in the Saints' World is the Tyrant Soul Palace Master and Saint Venerable Windbreaker's opponent," the Leng Emperor said with a faint smile.
"To put it bluntly, what we lack now is the strength of Holy Venerables and Holy Emperors. Now that the Tyrant Spirit Temple is divided, once a war breaks out, I'm afraid we have no chance of winning." Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
"That's why the Tyrant Soul Palace Master is secretly nurturing experts. With the assistance of the ancient divine alchemist, it won't be difficult for the Tyrant Soul Palace Master. He just needs time," the Leng Emperor nodded.
Xiao Chen was stern. After a long moment of thought, he bitterly smiled, "The only thing that can stall for time right now is probably me and the Forgotten Valley."
