"Big Brother Lu, might I know why Senior Fiendish Saber is looking for me?"
Xiao Chen asked Lu Benwei out of curiosity along the way.
Lu Benwei led the way without answering. After a while, he said, "Let's talk after we meet Master. Since he did not instruct me to tell you, he clearly does not want you to know."
So mysterious, Xiao Chen thought to himself. This only piqued his curiosity.
Fifteen minutes later, the two slowly distanced themselves from the Holy Domain's Divine Capital. Lu Benwei said, "Follow me closely. I'm going to bring you through a few spatial tears. Don't get lost. Otherwise, it will be very problematic."
"Right."
At the mention of spatial tears, Xiao Chen could not help being more cautious. If he got lost in one, it would be really troublesome.
Lu Benwei did not lie. Not long after he spoke, his figure flashed and entered a spatial tear. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Xiao Chen quickly followed, not daring to hesitate. After passing through six spatial tears, the scene before him suddenly opened up.
He saw an incredibly vast mountain range shrouded in clouds. Occasionally, mountain peaks broke through the clouds.
They were like powerful sabers, shining with a dazzling light. Just as one was about to find them, they hid in the clouds. This was truly astonishing.
Many winding mountain peaks, many demonic geniuses in the cloud sea.
These words suddenly appeared in Xiao Chen's mind, making him feel as if he was on an isolated mountain peak. These isolated mountain peaks seemed to have a mind of their own. The instant they broke through the cloud sea, Xiao Chen's bloodline surged involuntarily. A saber intent wanted to break out of his body to compete with them.
It was like the mountain peaks were not mountains but powerful bladesmen.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, before Xiao Chen could react, he could no longer hold back the saber intent that he suppressed in his body, bursting out.
A mountain peak appeared in the cloud sea and also shot out a saber intent.
The two saber intents clashed intensely in the vast cloud sea, producing metallic clangs that resounded in the world. "Dang! Dang!
Dang! Dang! "
In that instant, countless hidden mountain peaks appeared at the same time. When each mountain peak appeared, it gave off a strand of saber intent. Immediately, the boundless cloud sea for five hundred thousand kilometers reverberated with boundless saber intent.
Xiao Chen's expression immediately changed. What's going on?
"Brother Lu."
Turning his head to look, Lu Benwei had already disappeared without him knowing.
"Brother Xiao Chen, this is Master's test. Don't worry too much."
Lu Benwei's voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind, but he was nowhere to be found.
Xiao Chen did not have much time to think. In an instant, hundreds of saber intents shot at him.
"Senior Brother, this Xiao Chen doesn't seem like much … He's only taken a few steps, but he's already unable to suppress the saber intent in his body."
Outside the sea of clouds, five people stood side by side, four men and one woman, looking at Xiao Chen, who was deep in the sea of clouds.
That woman was elegant and had a face that could topple a city. She looked at Xiao Chen with a complicated expression.
This was the Divine Dragon Empire's White Dragon Holy Daughter, Liu Ruyue.
The five were Fiendish Saber Xi Mu's nominal disciples. Aside from Lu Benwei, the others were new members of the other super factions.
Because they showed extraordinary talent in the Saber Dao, Xi Mu took a fancy to them. However, he did not formally take them in as disciples.
"I think he is in trouble. He is too careless, activating hundreds of Fiendish peaks in one go. He will be finished if he gets struck by one. Junior Sister Liu, what do you think? "
The one who spoke was a handsome man from the Profound Heaven Holy Land. His name was Zhang Yushan.
Liu Ruyue felt some disgust in her heart, but her expression did not change. She replied indifferently, "It's hard to say."
Zhang Yushan smiled and said, "What's so hard to say? I don't believe that he can retreat unscathed."
"Clang!"
Right after Zhang Yushan spoke, Xiao Chen drew his saber and danced in the cloud sea.
The Flawless Saber Dao used the body as a saber and the intent as a saber.
In this breath, Xiao Chen's entire body burst out with thousands of saber lights.
"Ding! Ding!
Dang! Dang! "Xiao Chen's fine black hair fluttered, and saber hums sounded like zither music. At the crucial moment, he brought out his Flawless saber Dao to its limits.
In nearly an instant, Xiao Chen sent out more than a thousand saber strikes, draining a third of his Veritable Essence Energy.
Saber Qi surged, erupting with resplendent light in the cloud sea. Xiao Chen barely managed to block the hundreds of saber lights from the Fiendish peaks.
Upon seeing this scene, the expression of Zhang Yushan, who just finished speaking, changed slightly. Then, he shut his mouth and remained silent.
However, Lu Benwei, who was at the side, remained silent. Xiao Chen activated hundreds of Fiendish peaks in one go.
It was not that he was careless. It was just that the saber intent in his body was too sharp. Although Xiao Chen had not comprehended the Saber Dao Domain, the sharpness of this saber intent surpassed that of the four people beside him.
After all, Xiao Chen was someone Master took a fancy to. Since he managed to avoid this calamity, the remaining tests should not be a problem.
Indeed, as Lu Benwei expected, when these Fiendish peaks first appeared, they caught Xiao Chen off guard.
Xiao Chen nearly fell for it on the spot.
After Xiao Chen stabilized himself and brought out his normal strength, dealing with the rest became easier.
Soon, the clouds parted, and the Fiendish peaks disappeared.
An ancient, inverted peak with thousands of vines hanging from it appeared in Xiao Chen's vision.
Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. He knew that he had passed the test and could meet Senior Xi Mu now.
However, Xiao Chen felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. This Senior Xi Mu is really strange. He is clearly the one who wants to meet me, yet he is testing me.
If it were Xiao Chen's previous temper, he would have left on the spot.
However, after thinking about it, the other party was a Faux God expert, a powerful bladesman of his generation. He had a temper, so there was no need to bother with him.
"Xiao Chen."
A voice called out. Xiao Chen turned his head to look and saw Lu Benwei. There were four other people beside him.
Xiao Chen's expression immediately changed. Then, he looked at Liu Ruyue. To think that she was here as well.
"These are the nominal disciples that Master took in. They are the new members of the various super factions. Let's go and meet Master now. I will introduce them to you later."
Lu Benwei pointed to the four people beside him and explained to Xiao Chen.
Aside from Liu Ruyue, the other three looked at Xiao Chen with some disdain. They did not even nod or greet him.
When Lu Benwei saw this scene, he smiled coldly in his heart. These three relied on their half-step Sovereign Emperor cultivation to comprehend the Saber Dao Domain.
Furthermore, they had already comprehended the Saber Dao Domain. Furthermore, they had become nominal disciples long ago, so they somewhat looked down on Xiao Chen.
However, they did not know that Xiao Chen, whom Master had not met personally, held a much higher position than the other four.
Xiao Chen's status was much higher than theirs. He even gave Xiao Chen two Fiendish Saber inheritance paintings.
Furthermore, these four only cultivated on the mountain and received pointers. They had not even seen the Fiendish Saber inheritance paintings.
Xiao Chen did not care about the four's attitude. He only looked at Liu Ruyue and smiled. "We meet again."
When Liu Ruyue heard that, a blush flashed on her face. She remembered the last time the two met.
Under the bright moon, in the center of the lake, Xiao Chen had taken advantage of her being caught off guard to kiss the back of her hand.
However, Liu Ruyue adjusted her emotions in the blink of an eye. Then, she said, "Indeed, we meet again. This is the Faux God World. I will not interfere with your grudge with the Divine Dragon Empire. However, if you dare to pester me, I do not mind capturing you and bringing you back to the empire. "
In name, Xiao Chen was still a wanted person in the Divine Dragon Empire, the White Dragon Holy Daughter. As the White Dragon Holy Daughter, Liu Ruyue naturally had a duty to capture Xiao Chen and bring him back to the Divine Dragon Empire.
However, she only said that. Because of her younger sister, Liu Ruyue did not care about capturing Xiao Chen.
Given that, Liu Ruyue just wanted Xiao Chen to stop making things difficult for her.
On one hand, this person had taken liberties with her. On the other hand, Xiao Chen was her younger sister's sworn friend. Maintaining a distance between them was the best choice.
"Many thanks."
When Xiao Chen heard that, he smiled faintly and thanked Liu Ruyue. However, a dense melancholy flashed in the depths of his eyes.
If it were in the past, Liu Ruyue would not have said that to him. She would have doted on him instead.
However, now, the two of them, who clearly loved each other, stood together like strangers.
When Xiao Chen smiled seriously on his delicate face, he looked very pretty, like an iceberg melting.
However, no one could understand the sorrow behind his smile; it was indescribable.
Even so, Xiao Chen still felt very happy. This smile came from the bottom of his heart, driven by his true feelings. As for the sorrow and helplessness, he could just savor it himself.
"Let's go, then."
Lu Benwei did not overthink. He only felt that his master was still waiting, so he called out for everyone to follow.
"Stay away from Junior Sister Ruyue. I have ten thousand ways to make trash like you live a life worse than death!"
Zhang Yushan whispered a threat as he passed by Xiao Chen. Then, he gave Xiao Chen a cold look before catching up to Lu Benwei.
