Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads, feeling pity for Xiao Chen. The Blue Dragon King was proud and unyielding, but he was about to lose the Five Poison Sect, a great helper.
In the end, he was still too rash. Sometimes, no matter how proud or principled one was, one still had to face reality. If one had to lower one's head and apologize, one had to apologize.
Even if others were unreasonable, one had to take a step back. Otherwise, the gains would not make up for the losses.
How could one be like Xiao Chen, sticking to his principles, not lowering his head or bending his back?
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I advise you to take back what you said. Otherwise, even your father will not be able to protect you. Take a closer look at the inscription on the invitation and see whose name it is! "
Chen Ying was stunned. He asked in confusion, "Is it not my father's name?"
Chen Ying snatched the invitation from the black-clad man's hand and opened it to take a closer look. However, after a while, his expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with incredulity.
When the black-clad man saw Chen Ying's expression change, he turned his head curiously. When he saw the signature, his expression changed as well.
Chen Ying showed a sullen expression. Before everyone's strange gazes, he walked over to Xiao Chen and handed the invitation back. Then, he lowered his head and said, "My apologies. This Young Master was rude earlier. I hope the Blue Dragon King will come three days from now. I hope the Blue Dragon King will forgive me for my offense. "
Xiao Chen received the invitation and said indifferently, "Don't worry. I will definitely come three days from now. You can leave now."
How hateful!
Chen Ying gritted his teeth in anger. However, he could not do anything about it. There was no reason other than that the person who signed the invitation was someone that even his father could dismiss at any time.
Such a scene shocked everyone. No one knew what was going on. No one knew why Chen Ying, who had been shouting incessantly earlier, suddenly became so pitiful, lowering his head and apologizing to Xiao Chen.
"Interesting. Blue Dragon King Xiao Chen, I look forward to your arrival three days from now. I, Gong Taihua, have heard of you for a long time. "
After Chen Ying turned and left, the man in black next to him walked up to Xiao Chen and said provocatively.
The small farce slowly dissipated. Xiao Chen put away the invitation and watched Chen Ying leave. A faint smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, he had come to ask for help. However, he was also giving the Five Poison Sect a chance. Chen Ying didn't understand the situation, so he deserved to be humiliated like this.
With such a commotion, Xiao Chen also gave up on the idea of continuing to stroll around. He turned around and returned to the inn.
In the distance, in a pavilion, there were two people who had seen everything that had just happened.
One of them was wearing the blue robes of the Five Poisons Sect. He looked old, and his forehead was covered in wrinkles. His eyes were filled with lethargy. However, his aura was as heavy as a mountain, like a great river, vast and mighty.
If Xiao Chen were here, he would be able to tell that this old man in blue was a level 5 greater celestial Emperor Wu. It was just that his lifespan was nearing its end and he didn't seem to have much life force left.
The special pattern of the Five Poison Sect was embroidered on his chest. It was the proof that he was a Grand Elder of the Five Poison Sect.
Beside him stood a Protoss dressed in golden clothes. He had a head of white hair, and his eyes were bright and full of temptation. This person was no stranger to Xiao Chen. Back then, when Elder Qin underwent his tribulation, it was this person who fought with Lan Chaofeng.
This was a Seventh Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor with incredible strength. Even the Western Sea Dragon King Ao Lang was not a match for him.
"Lord Qin Xiu, is he the Blue Dragon King?"
The white-haired Protoss nodded. "That's right. He's your target. Remember, you only have one chance. Furthermore, you must do it within Poison Cloud City. If Xiao Chen leaves Poison Cloud City, you'll fail the mission. "
"What about what you promised me?"
Qin Xiu said indifferently, "The Deity Statues forged by my Deity Race are divided into nine grades, from high to low. For outsiders, they would usually cast a ninth-grade God statue, which would not absorb a lot of faith power. If you are willing to accept this mission, I can forge a Rank 7 Deity Statue for you. "
"Then …" Joy flashed in the blue-clad old man's eyes. However, he still felt uncertain.
Qin Xiu said coldly, "Are you doubting the strength of the Deity Race? Although the strength of the Deity Race cannot compare to that of Emperor Wu at his normal cultivation, the increase in lifespan is genuine. If you are not willing, then so be it. I'll see what method the Five Poison Sect has to extend your lifespan. "
When the blue-clad old man heard that, his expression turned anxious. He said, "Milord, please calm down. It is not that this old man does not believe it. However, I have to verify it first."
"That's good. Remember, you can make your move at any time. However, you have to do it within Poison Cloud City. It would be best if you can kill him. However, even if you cannot, you have to severely injure him and let him recuperate for at least half a year. Otherwise, you will fail the mission. "
After saying that, a light flashed, and Qin Xiu left this place.
The blue-clad old man looked at the inn where Xiao Chen was, and dense killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Blue Dragon King, sorry for the offense. If not for this old man's lifespan reaching its end, I would not kill a junior like you."
"Whoosh!"
The blue-clad old man pushed off the ground and silently arrived outside the inn. However, just as he was about to enter, he suddenly pulled back.
Then, he turned around and quickly retreated.
On a roof, the blue-clad old man frowned slightly. "This Blue Dragon King is very cautious. His perception covers the entire inn at all times. With my strength, once I enter, he will immediately discover me and raise his guard."
The blue-clad old man was not afraid of Xiao Chen discovering him. Even if Xiao Chen discovered him, he was confident of killing the other party.
This was the confidence of the Fifth Heaven Emperor Wu. What the blue-clad old man feared was that Xiao Chen would raise his guard and leave Poison Cloud City early. If that happened, all his efforts would be wasted.
Wait!
The instant you walk out of the inn, I will make a sudden move and kill you in one strike.
Killing intent flashed in the blue-clad old man's eyes. He sat cross-legged on the roof and looked deeply at the inn's door before closing his eyes.
One day passed peacefully. The blue-clad old man opened his eyes once before closing them again helplessly.
Two days passed, and Xiao Chen still did not come out. The blue-clad old man opened his eyes three times.
On the third day, the blue-clad old man did not close his eyes again, staring at the inn's door. People came and went, but the white-clad old man did not see a certain figure in white.
"This fellow is really patient. He actually did not intend to come out for a walk after arriving in Poison Cloud City," the blue-clad old man said somewhat resentfully.
There was still half a day left. If Xiao Chen did not come out by then, he would have to attend the banquet.
That was the situation the blue-clad old man did not want to see. The banquet was held at the headquarters of the Five Poison Sect. The place was heavily guarded, and the experts of the three Holy Lands were present.
Even if the blue-clad old man succeeded in assassinating Xiao Chen, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
If the blue-clad old man really went to the banquet, he would have to kill Xiao Chen, preventing the Five Poison Sect from forming an alliance with the Blue Dragon King. Only then would he have a chance to escape.
"Hey!"
The blue-clad old man's eyes lit up, and he suddenly stood up. Xiao Chen walked out of the inn's door.
However, before the joy on the blue-clad old man's face faded, a warship descended from the sky. That was the warship of the Five Poison Sect's Sect Master. Chen Ying's father had sent someone to fetch Xiao Chen.
The blue-clad old man heaved a long sigh and said, "No matter what, I have to take this risk. I only have ten years to live. I need the help of the Deity Race!"
A patch of rainbow-colored clouds covered the entire island in the sky above Poison Cloud City. The colors were bright, moving, and unchanging.
The clouds looked very tempting. However, Xiao Chen, who was on the warship, knew that this was a poison cloud that even an ordinary Emperor Wu would not be willing to touch.
"Blue Dragon King, is this your first time coming to Poison Cloud City?"
A pretty girl dressed in green beside the blue-clad old man asked.
Xiao Chen glanced at the girl who came to fetch him and nodded gently.
"How do you feel? This poison cloud can be considered the foundation of the Five Poison Sect. It has been passed down for more than ten thousand years before it reached its current scale."
Xiao Chen answered honestly, "It is rather shocking. It is an eye-opener."
"Is that so? In that case, I will be even more shocked."
As the two chatted casually, the warship released an ancient ring of light and broke through the poison cloud. Then, the scene before them suddenly changed.
Xiao Chen looked up and saw countless pavilions, mountains, rivers, tall buildings, flowers, and trees on top of this vast poison cloud. This was simply incredible.
The headquarters of the Five Poison Sect was actually built on this poison cloud.
Xiao Chen could even see many Five Poison Sect disciples breathing in the poison cloud and circulating their Minor Heavenly Cycles to cultivate.
The poison cloud that ordinary people did not even want to touch was a treasure in the eyes of the Five Poison Sect disciples, a treasure that they could not do without.
"Blue Dragon King, this way, please. The Church Master and a few honored guests have been waiting in the Soft Cloud Pavilion for a long time already."
Xiao Chen followed her into the air, flying through the many palaces and pavilions.
After fifteen minutes, the girl stopped on a crystal staircase floating in the air. Xiao Chen stopped as well and followed her up.
Guards stood on both sides of the staircase every one hundred meters. The security was extremely tight.
At the end of the floating staircase was a pair of azure doors. Not just anyone could enter these doors.
The maidservant gently pushed the door open and gestured for Xiao Chen to enter. He did not hesitate to enter with large strides.
Inside the doors, the banquet had already been set up. Xiao Chen saw a dignified middle-aged man seated in the host's seat.
This was Chen Ying's father, Chen Feng, the current Church Master of the Five Poison Sect, an Eighth Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor. He had been in a high position for a long time, so he had a powerful aura around him that made others unknowingly feel intimidated.
On the second seat, Lin Yun saw two familiar faces. One was the Saint of the Heavenly Province Academy, and the other was the Yinyang Utopia's Saintess, Yin SuSu.
Behind the two stood a strong Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor with a grave aura.
Seeing Xiao Chen's arrival, Yin SuSu's eyes flickered with boundless flirtatiousness. She was so beautiful that she was like a temptress that could steal one's soul.
When the Saint of the Heavenly Province Academy saw Xiao Chen's unsightly expression, the memory of him defeating Xiao Chen in a single move during the Four Seas Hero Gathering was still fresh in his mind.
Chen Ying was also present. When he saw Xiao Chen, his face was even more unsightly than the Saint of the Heavenly Province Academy.
The Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors in the back, as well as Chen Feng in the host's seat, were all sizing up Xiao Chen at the same time.
"Little brother Xiao Chen, have a seat!"
Chen Feng inwardly nodded his head and gestured for Xiao Chen to take a seat.
Yin SuSu and the two people behind the Heavenly Province Academy exchanged a glance and they started to talk through voice transmissions.
