When Xiao Chen returned to his residence, he had already calmed down. He had not expected his secret to be exposed.
At that time, Xiao Chen felt somewhat stunned. However, after thinking about it, he realized that it might not be a bad thing.
Cultivating a Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique had always been a knot in Xiao Chen's heart. Now that it was exposed, he felt much more relaxed.
From now on, he would no longer have this knot in his heart.
Hua Tianyang was right. The battle between the righteous factions and demonic factions, eliminating demons and protecting the Dao, was ultimately a battle of interests.
How could the people of the Righteous Dao be so pedantic? How could a Faux God have such low standards?
Since ancient times, many people had cultivated Demonic Dao Cultivation Techniques. However, most of them did not end up well.
On the surface, everyone showed fear. However, who could guarantee that they did not secretly learn or look at Demonic Dao Cultivation Techniques?
Even from the perspective of knowing oneself and one's enemy, this was not a bad thing.
However, Hua Tianyang's last sentence was even more right. If one was strong enough, no matter what Cultivation Technique one cultivated, others would not dare to say anything about it.
Say anything? If they said anything more, they would kill them.
However, if one was not strong enough and did not have any backing, they would be killed if they dared to cultivate it. Speaking of which, killing a demon would increase Xiao Chen's reputation significantly. He would give others a handle to use against him and would not be able to redress his grievances.
"Big Brother Xiao, your expression seems somewhat off. Did something bad happen when you met the Alliance Chief?"
Bao`er asked timidly when she saw that Xiao Chen had not said anything after he returned. Her expression also looked somewhat frightening.
Xiao Chen took a sip of tea and replied calmly, "It's fine. The Alliance Chief gave me a heavy responsibility. It is hard to say whether I will survive or not."
"Oh," Bao`er said, not asking anything more. She just obediently filled Xiao Chen's teacup.
As the atmosphere turned somewhat heavy, Mu Zifeng went directly to Xiao Chen's residence. Then, he waved his hand to dismiss Bao`er.
"Big Brother Mu."
Xiao Chen stood up.
Mu Zifeng gave Xiao Chen a deep look. Then, he said, "You should have told me in advance that you cultivated a Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique. Otherwise, if Suiren Ji found out about it, I would not have been forced into such a passive state."
Xiao Chen showed a doubtful expression as he said, "Big Brother Mu will be implicated as well."
"Of course. Did you think the Alliance Master didn't have a motive for asking if you were one of my disciples?" Mu Zifeng said softly, "Alliance Chief Hua is injured and will retire in a few years. At that time, one of the seven of us will have to choose the position of Alliance Chief."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt somewhat tired. He felt very uncomfortable in the Heavenly Alliance. It was much worse than when he was in the Heaven Dragon Palace.
There were schemes everywhere, and there were hidden guards at all times. It made people feel a little depressed for no reason.
Now, Xiao Chen increasingly understood why the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor left back then.
Mu Zifeng was somewhat different from what Xiao Chen had imagined. However, when he thought about it, it made sense. For him to climb to the position of a core Doyen, how could he be someone with few desires?
"My apologies for implicating Lord Mu. I am truly sorry."
Xiao Chen replied calmly. His expression was calm, but he did not show much sincerity in his apology.
Mu Zifeng sensed the distance in Xiao Chen's words. He sighed in his heart and stopped dwelling on this problem. "Let's drop this matter. Let's talk about the holy relic. If possible, you have to obtain the dart head yourself. You have to get the most credit. "
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, feeling displeased in his heart. Mu Zifeng was purposely trying to sow discord between him and Lin Feng. Before the mission even started, he was already scheming.
Mu Zifeng observed Xiao Chen's expression and knew what he was thinking. He said seriously, "You might not know this, but the Heavenly Alliance spent a lot of time and resources on this holy relic. For the sake of retrieving the holy relic, Hua Tianyang nearly lost his life. Left with no choice, he came up with this plan. This is the best opportunity. The Heavenly Alliance has been making preparations since the start of this batch of newcomers.
"After a few rounds of secret screening, we finally decided on you and Lin Feng. Your appearance is simply a heaven-sent opportunity."
When Xiao Chen heard that, his heart sank. Does that mean that Mu Zifeng thought of this mission the first time he saw me?
Mu Zifeng's shrewdness was somewhat scary.
"You can say that the core Doyen behind whoever retrieves the holy relic will be the next Heavenly Alliance's Alliance Chief," Mu Zifeng said softly to Xiao Chen.
Seeing that Xiao Chen remained silent, Mu Zifeng said indifferently, "I can promise you that if I become the Alliance Chief, the position of Dragon Emperor will be yours. There are no longer any heroes in this world. It is impossible for you to obtain the position of Dragon Emperor by relying on so-called dreams and emotions.
"I can tell you this. The forces involved in the position of Dragon Emperor are many times greater than you can imagine. You absolutely cannot become the Dragon Emperor by yourself. You need my support, the support of the Heavenly Alliance's Alliance Chief. "
Mu Zifeng did not bother with pleasantries or threatening Xiao Chen. He only explained all the benefits to Xiao Chen.
Seeing Xiao Chen reveal a contemplative expression, Mu Zifeng smiled faintly and said, "You are very similar to Peach Blossom. You only want to pursue the Martial Dao, not caring about the karma of the mundane world. However, you and I are in the mundane world, so we cannot avoid it. The Heavenly Realm shattered, and the Martial Epoch no longer has a True God. To think that you talk about the dream of pursuing the peak of the Martial Dao. In my opinion, this is rather comical. Of course, I personally admire these people, including you and Peach Blossom. "
This could be considered the Age of Decline. True Gods of the Martial Dao no longer existed. There was no peak, no goal. Several generations of Faux Gods were already lost.
This was the worst age. Mu Zifeng's words represented the thoughts of most Sovereign Emperors and Faux Gods.
Xiao Chen put down his teacup and said, "Let's not talk about this first. Lord Mu, let's talk about the mission."
Mu Zifeng smiled faintly and said, "It is fine if you want to run away. I will not force you. I already said it. Being born in the mundane world, the karma of the mundane world cannot be avoided. You will make your own choice when the time comes. "
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows. He knew what Mu Zifeng meant. At this moment, Suiren Ji was probably saying the same thing as Lin Feng.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the mission. This is a replica of the Snow God Whip. You can take a look."
Mu Zifeng took out a long whip that looked like a plum blossom. There was a total of nine segments, each one looking like a plum blossom branch. In reality, it was made of plum blossoms, supplemented by divine materials and Transcendent Alloys.
When Xiao Chen touched it, he could feel a flourishing lifeforce amid its coldness. It contained an extremely strong Life Dao.
At the top of the nine-segment plum blossom whip was a dart head flickering with seven-colored light. It looked like the tip of a spear, but it was sharper and more exquisite.
"This is …" Xiao Chen found it somewhat familiar, but he could not recall what it was.
Mu Zifeng smiled and said, "You must be very familiar with it. Take out your medallion and take a look."
Xiao Chen took out the Heavenly Alliance medallion and immediately understood. The front of the Heavenly Alliance medallion had divine characters made of seven pieces of metal.
"This is a Seven Color Stone. When the Heavenly Alliance was first established, the seven merchant associations collected all the supreme treasures in the world and refined them into a Fantasy Divine Stone. If not for fear of getting into trouble because of its value, the Heavenly Alliance's grandmaster-level Martial Sages could have forged it into a Transcendent Grade Soul Tool. Hence, they could only forge it into a dart head, which resulted in the peak Superior Grade Soul Tool, the Snow God Whip. Although the other parts of the so-called Snow God Whip are precious, they are not worth mentioning compared to this Seven Color Stone. "
Xiao Chen toyed with the Snow God Whip in his hand. Then, he gently swung it, and snowflakes immediately drifted down. The scarlet plum blossom whip in his hand looked exceptionally beautiful against the backdrop of the wind and snow. It had its own grace, swaying gracefully in the snow.
"Since this dart head is so miraculous, aren't you afraid that Lin Feng and I will take it and flee?"
Mu Zifeng smiled and said, "Don't even think about it. Without a Cultivation Technique to complement it, you cannot bring out its true might. Furthermore, given the two of you're smart, you will not do something so foolish, trying to control a treasure that is not of your own strength. "
Mu Zifeng was right. Without sufficient strength, controlling such a treasure would only bring disaster upon oneself. The Heavenly Alliance did not have to worry.
Furthermore, the two of them had weaknesses. They did not dare to fall out with the Heavenly Alliance.
No wonder Hua Tianyang said that this mission was tailor-made for the two of them. To the Heavenly Alliance, the two of them were the best candidates. There was nothing more suitable.
After chatting for a while, Mu Zifeng stood up and said, "Let's not talk about the mission anymore. This Snow God Whip replica is a peak Dao Tool, no weaker than some Inferior Grade Soul Tools. I'll give it to you. There's also this. Take it as well. "
Xiao Chen received a seed and asked, finding it strange, "What is this?"
"This is a Rank 9 Peony Seed, the Devastatingly Beautiful Peony, the king of flowers. The instant it blooms, lifeforce fills the air. It can suppress the Death Dao Domain for one hour. Even if you do not need it, you can keep it to protect yourself. Of course … I hope that you will take the initiative to use it. After all, who knows what Suiren Ji prepared for him? "
Mu Zifeng smiled meaningfully. Then, he patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and turned to leave.
Xiao Chen set the seed aside. Then, he picked up the teacup and fiddled with it, thinking about everything Mu Zifeng said.
On the other side, as Mu Zifeng expected, Suiren Ji also gave instructions to Lin Feng.
"Do you understand everything that I told you?" Suiren Ji's deep voice sounded somewhat hoarse.
Lin Feng nodded silently, not saying anything more.
Suddenly, Lin Feng's expression changed slightly, and he took two steps back. Horror flashed in his eyes.
A ghostly figure appeared and circled Suiren Ji, making him look even more sinister and cold.
Suiren Ji smiled sinisterly. Then, he flicked his finger, and a ghostly figure appeared. It turned out to be a strand of Hou soul.
"Whoosh!"
The Hou soul in Suiren Ji's hand turned into an arrow flickering with a green light. It was a bona fide Ghost Hou Arrow, radiating a frightening chill.
Lin Feng could not suppress the horror in his heart, so he had to take another step back.
Suiren Ji smiled faintly and said, "Are you afraid? I am not here to kill you. This Dragon Killing Arrow is to send that fellow to heaven. After you obtain the holy relic, kill him for me! This little bastard actually dared to reject my invitation back then. He must be tired of living. Now, he even dares to be so close to Mu Zifeng. How reckless! "
Lin Feng grabbed the Dragon Killing Arrow flying at him. He felt his soul tremble. This was the innate fear of the Dragon Race bloodline toward the Hou.
However, Lin Feng was Lin Feng, after all. After holding the arrow for a while, a ruthless look appeared in his eyes. Unexpectedly, he suppressed the might of the arrow.
"Very good. I hope that you can bring back not only the holy relic but also Xiao Chen's head."
Suiren Ji revealed a satisfied smile. He liked ruthless people like Lin Feng, who were ruthless to themselves and even more ruthless to their enemies.
