The blue-clad old man said indifferently, "Junior Brother, you still do not see things clearly enough. Although this Xiao Chen is only a Veritable Essence Stage cultivator, he has an extraordinary air about him.
"Think about it. How would a regular Veritable Essence Stage cultivator behave when they see the two of us?"
The half-step Primal Core Realm expert quickly said, "They would definitely be very respectful and amiable. It is normal for them to try to suck up to us if they feel uncomfortable."
Before a Veritable Essence Stage cultivator, a Primal Core Realm cultivator was a god-like existence.
The blue-clad old man nodded. "What about him? He is neither servile nor overbearing, extremely calm. With one look, it is clear that he is someone who has seen a lot of things. Such a person either has a noble background or has experienced many things. He looks young, so it cannot be the latter. It can only be the former. "
"Could he be a Rank 2 sect disciple or a Noble Clan disciple?"
The half-step Primal Core Realm old man was startled when he heard that. If that was the case, then they could not touch him.
If they touched someone with a deep background, then the consequences …
"Yes, and no."
"Senior Brother, what do you mean?"
The blue-clad old man smiled strangely. "It is true that he comes from a Noble Clan. However, look at him. He cannot even find a good Baleful Yin Energy, wandering the Starry Heavens alone. Is there such a Noble Clan? "
"Then? Senior Brother, stop beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say. "
The blue-clad old man smiled and said, "Hahaha! In that case, I'll say it directly. He is indeed a Noble Clan disciple, but his clan should be in dire straits. It is more likely that it was destroyed. That's why he is wandering the Starry Heavens, hiding from his enemies. "
The half-step Primal Core Realm old man's eyes lit up. After a while, he gave a thumbs-up and said, "Senior Brother, you can even guess that. You are amazing!"
Given this, it explained why Xiao Chen could kill the second-in-command of the pirate group.
How could such a fallen disciple not have any life-saving trump cards? This also explained why Xiao Chen's aura and bearing came from.
Noble Clan disciples had seen many experts since they were young. How could they be so respectful to two Primal Core Realm cultivators?
This was also why these disciples in dire straits had more treasures than ordinary loose cultivators.
Just the formation diagram and formation plate of the pirate ship were enough for the two to make a move against Xiao Chen. Furthermore, there was Xiao Chen's identity.
No matter how one looked at it, this White Robed Bladesman was a fat lamb.
The blue-clad old man smiled in an unfathomable manner. "I'll get Fei`er and Luo Nan to interact more with him. Youths should be less wary of each other. We should be able to get some information."
"In that case, why did we send him to Profound Yin Island? If his strength increases, it will be disadvantageous to us."
The blue-clad old man smiled and said, "You do not understand this. If we let him go to Profound Yin Island, he can help us collect Yin Essence Stones for free. This can be considered our contributions to the sect. Secondly, the intense competition on Profound Yin Island will definitely exhaust many of his trump cards. "
"How much can he improve? If I wasn't worried about his trump card, I could have easily crushed him. "
The half-step Primal Core Realm old man smiled and said, "Excellent. Senior Brother, with such meticulous planning, even if that Xiao Chen had nine heads, he would not be able to escape your grasp."
"Humph! This kind of person is already in decline, yet he is still proud and arrogant, believing himself infallible. He is the one who refuses to recognize reality. Now that he ran into me, I can teach him a lesson. "
A greedy look flashed in the blue-clad old man's eyes as he spoke in a cold voice.
As the saying went, the world was dangerous. The danger was in the world, and the evil was in the human heart.
Back on the deck, Fei`er and Xiao Chen chatted happily. Occasionally, bell-like laughter rang out.
This made Luo Nan, who was following at the side, extremely jealous. He could not interrupt even if he wanted to.
As Luo Nan looked at Xiao Chen, he hated that he could not use his gaze to kill Xiao Chen.
This was Xiao Chen's first time seeing someone from the outer realm. He did not understand many of the local customs, sect grades, Cultivation Techniques, and Divine Weapons.
After all, the Book of the Epochs only recorded a general idea. It would not record everything in detail, no matter how big or small.
Fei`er's thoughts were pure. When Xiao Chen occasionally asked questions, she would enthusiastically answer them.
Xiao Chen learned that the sects were the leaders of the Great Thousand Realms.
Sects were divided into seven ranks. Below Rank 7, they were all unranked sects.
Any sect with a rank had at least ten thousand years of accumulations.
The Tianyi Sect was a Rank 1 sect with a Cloud Sea Realm Supreme Elder holding down the fort.
As for a Rank 2 sect, it required at least three Cloud Sea Realm existences to be considered a Rank 2 sect.
Generally, Second Rank Sects were powerful and would control more than one Great World.
They did not need to be like a Rank 1 sect, which controlled an entire great realm.
As for Rank 3 sects, they were already considered extremely strong, with Divine Vein Realm powerhouses holding down the fort. They were absolute overlord-class existences in thousands of great realms of an astral domain.
Take the Purple Sun Region for example. Any random disciple of the four Rank 3 sects would be respected by a Primal Core Realm powerhouse.
When Xiao Chen heard that, he felt deeply moved. This Great Thousand Realms truly had limitless possibilities.
No wonder so many cultivators of the Kunlun Realm since ancient times stepped onto the Kunlun Road without hesitation.
It was getting late, so Xiao Chen took his leave to rest. He planned to think about how to deal with that blue-clad old man.
"Junior Sister, I'll send you back. You should be tired from the battle with the pirates today."
When Xiao Chen finally left, Luo Nan immediately showed a smile.
"Senior Brother Luo, Master is looking for you."
Just at this moment, a disciple walked out of the ship and spoke respectfully.
Luo Nan felt depressed. After so much difficulty, he finally got a chance to be alone, but it was ruined again.
Fei`er smiled and said, "Senior Brother, go and see Master first. There is no danger on the ship. I can go back alone."
Luo Nan stared at Fei`er's back in a daze.
"Senior Brother, it's time to go."
"Oh, oh. I'll go right away."
…
Inside the tea room of the ship, after Luo Nan bowed, the blue-clad old man asked with a smile, "Nan-er, that Xiao Chen spent so much time with the two of you. What did he say to you?"
Luo Nan could not help cursing in his heart. This Xiao Chen did not say a single word to me.
He chatted with Junior Sister the entire time.
"Reporting to Master, that Xiao Chen chatted with Junior Sister the entire time and did not speak to me," Luo Nan said honestly even though he felt somewhat upset.
The blue-clad old man said, "Yes. What did they say?"
Luo Nan nodded and repeated what Junior Sister Fei`er said, word for word.
The more the blue-clad old man and the half-step Primal Core Realm old man heard, the more they felt that something was wrong. Why did this sound like they were exposing their wealth?
They told Xiao Chen everything about the Tianyi Sect's situation.
Fei`er even gave Xiao Chen a simple summary of the two's strength. However, Xiao Chen's tone showed great respect for the two old men.
The moment he heard it, he knew that it was a careless remark.
"Stop right there. Who's asking you all this? I'm asking what that Xiao Chen said," the half-step Primal Core Realm old man rudely interrupted Luo Nan with a cold expression.
Luo Nan spoke happily. He remembered his junior sister's words.
Zhang Xuan was stunned by the interruption.
Ask Xiao Chen?
He couldn't wait to kill that brat, so how could he remember what that brat said?
"Tell me, what did Xiao Chen say? Don't leave out a single word."
The blue-robed old man said expressionlessly.
"I, I …"
Sensing that his master and martial uncle were somewhat angry, Luo Nan flushed red. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not remember what Xiao Chen said.
"Master, Martial Uncle, I really can't remember. Please punish me!"
"Plop!" Luo Nan fell to his knees, not daring to raise his head.
"Trash, what are you thinking in your head? Get out of my sight!"
The blue-clad old man felt enraged as he waved his hand to chase Luo Nan away.
Luo Nan felt so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood. He had been suppressing a bellyful of anger in the first place. When he finally got a chance to be alone with his junior sister, his master and martial uncle called him over and ruthlessly lectured him.
What is going on? Luo Nan felt so depressed that he wanted to cry.
The blue-clad old man could not be blamed for being angry. Originally, he wanted to dig out Xiao Chen's background with the two of them.
Who could have imagined that they would not dig out anything? Instead, they ended up exposing their own background.
Who could not be angry?
"Senior Brother, this brat is somewhat difficult to deal with."
The blue-clad old man showed an unfriendly expression as he snorted coldly. "This brat is somewhat skilled. However, he chose the wrong opponent to fight with me. Just wait and see!"
