Outside the Smiling Daughter Pavilion:
Ling Yu carried the beggar on his back, appearing dispirited, like he had lost his spirit, like a walking corpse.
The beggar fell asleep again, snoring away on Ling Yu's back, sounding startlingly loud.
As Xiao Chen walked together with Su Ye, he glanced at her expression. It was not much better than Ling Yu's.
Her expression was complicated, and her eyes were still bloodshot, inspiring pity.
"Thank you for earlier," Su Ye said softly.
Su Ye asked in a low voice. She was referring to Xiao Chen helping her slap the veiled woman.
Xiao Chen replied calmly, "It's nothing. It's just a small matter."
Su Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Just a small matter? In my opinion, it is not a small matter. I have long wanted to slap this bitch but could not do it. Sometimes, I really envy you. You dared to challenge the entire ten merchant associations for Wu Meng. Even when you are in dire straits, you still do not lower your head, turning the entire Smiling Daughter Pavilion upside down. As long as you do not go against your heart, you do not seem to fear anything … "
Xiao Chen did not say anything. He knew that at this moment, all he needed to do was be a listener.
There was no need to interrupt or say anything more.
"You have always wanted to know what my relationship with the Su Clan is. She is right. I am the abandoned daughter of the Sword God's Noble Clan's current Clan Head. Back then, my mother made a mistake, marrying this ingrate, this beast that is worse than a beast. After he became the Clan Head, he divorced my mother. That day, I nearly cried until I went blind. My mother hugged me and kept saying, Little Yeye, don't cry. Mother will bring you home …
"However, when I arrived at the Smiling Daughter Pavilion, this little bitch, the adopted daughter my mother adopted back then, not only did she not accept my mother, but she even humiliated her. I really saw how sinister the human heart was. Back then, my mother treated her so well, even leaving the Smiling Daughter Pavilion to her management. However, she repaid kindness with enmity, working with that beast of the Su Clan to bully my mother. I really can't accept this. "I really, really miss my mother. I still remember that when I was young, she often brought me to the Smiling Daughter Pavilion to watch fireworks and watch performances.
Whenever I had any requests, she would excessively fulfill them. However, I did not know that she had already suffered a lot in the Su Clan's residence. She would fulfill all my requests. However, I did not know that she had already suffered a lot in the Su Clan's Residence. He even said that when I grew up, he would teach me how to play the zither and how to practice the sword … "
Su Ye's voice gradually became choked with sobs. Her eyes were red from crying, but no tears fell.
Her tears kept swirling in her eyes and never flowed down her cheeks.
Ling Yu, who was in front, turned around. When he saw this scene, he did not know what to do.
"What are you looking at? You're also a coward. Why don't you bring her out? Can't you see that she's in pain? "
Su Ye glared at Ling Yu, scolding him for not living up to expectations.
Ling Yu's face twitched. Suddenly, he cried out in pain, "I want to as well. However, how do you expect me to do so? How am I supposed to do that? I do not have a high cultivation like Martial Uncle. I do not have a great faction like you. I am just a minor character. Without Martial Uncle's care, I would not even be able to enter the Smiling Daughter Pavilion. How could I not understand what you are saying? However, what can I do? I am in more pain than she is, but I am just a nobody. What can I use to fight with the Smiling Daughter Pavilion? What can I use to fight with the First Prince? "
After saying that, Ling Yu broke down and started crying bitterly.
Who wouldn't understand this logic?
Was Ling Yu really stupid? Ling Yu was not stupid. However, what was the use of that? It was as Ling Yu said. Ling Yu was just a minor character. He did not even need the First Prince to make an appearance. Anyone in Yan City could trample him to death.
What was the use of passion and hot-bloodedness before reality?
An impulse welled up in Xiao Chen's heart. It was an impulse that he could not control. After this thought appeared, it became like a great fire, unextinguishable with the wind.
"Ling Yu, Martial Uncle wants to ask you something. Do you want to marry her? I only want an answer. You don't need to say anything. Just look at me. "
Not much of an expression could be seen on Xiao Chen's calm face. Only his eyes revealed his expression.
Only his eyes, reflecting the cold moonlight, were as hot as fire as he stared at Ling Yu.
The instant Ling Yu raised his head, he met this gaze, which stunned him. Ling Yu wanted to say many things. His martial uncle already treated him very well and helped him a lot. He really did not want to make things difficult for his martial uncle.
However, before Ling Yu could say anything, Xiao Chen said, "Alright, I know your answer. Don't say anything else. Go back and rest well tonight. Don't run around during this period. Just stay in the Misty Rain Pavilion and help Pavilion Master Su."
"I …"
Before Xiao Chen could retort, Xiao Chen took the lead and left.
After exploring the Smiling Daughter Pavilion that night, the group felt somewhat dispirited.
After a night of silence, Xiao Chen split half of the fifty tons of Origin Liquid with Wu Meng and the others, keeping twenty-five tons for himself.
After three days of closed-door cultivation, he used the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art and the Ten Thousand Dragons Art to absorb twenty-five tons of Origin Liquid.
If it were anyone else, trying to absorb and refine twenty-five tons of Origin Liquid in three days would be impossible.
One would not even dare to think about it. This number was too vast.
However, for Xiao Chen, who dual cultivated Righteous and Demonic, as well as two inherited Cultivation Techniques, this was not difficult.
Be it the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art or the Ten Thousand Dragons Art, they both required a large amount of Origin Liquid.
After the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art's transformation, Xiao Chen's body was different from that of ordinary people. The amount of Origin Liquid he needed was several times, even dozens of times that of others.
After absorbing twenty-five tons of Origin Liquid, Xiao Chen's cultivation did not improve much.
His Divine Energy cultivation remained at one Divine Vein. However, Xiao Chen was not in a rush.
He continued to focus on refining the 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor's Soul Energy. As long as he refined the True God's Soul Energy left behind by the ancient Demonic Sovereign, his Divine Energy cultivation would increase naturally. With the increase of Divine Essence cultivation, everything would follow naturally. The more he accumulated now, the more terrifying the eruption would be when the time came.
However, Xiao Chen's cultivation of the Ten Thousand Dragons Art reached a bottleneck.
Now, with a casual strike, he could materialize the Ten Thousand Dragons Picture with the Blue Dragon as the leader. The Blue Dragon in the middle was even more eye-catching.
If one looked carefully, one would discover that the Blue Dragon image had become much more realistic, like it could walk out of the picture.
The Blue Dragon image also changed slightly from the initial Blue Dragon. The most obvious change was that it went from three claws to four.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel that as he cultivated the Ten Thousand Dragons Art, the potential of his bloodline was continuously dug out.
As for the bottleneck, Xiao Chen knew that it was due to the lack of a follow-up Cultivation Technique.
Xiao Chen needed to make time to return to the Blue Dragon Ancient Palace and barge into the inheritance hall to obtain the follow-up Cultivation Technique for the Ten Thousand Dragons Art.
The Ten Thousand Dragons Art would continuously advance, eventually turning into the unprecedented Ancestor Dragon Art.
However, according to the dragon spirit, no one had truly cultivated the Ancestor Dragon Art in the Martial Epoch.
Xiao Chen did not know how strong he was now.
Since coming to Yan City, Xiao Chen had not truly fought all-out with others. He had not been able to fight to his heart's content.
Xiao Chen estimated that if he brought out all his trump cards, an ordinary 4-Vein Sovereign Emperor would not be a match for him.
However, it would be somewhat difficult for Xiao Chen to kill a 4-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
One would need to be at least a 5-Vein Sovereign Emperor to suppress Xiao Chen. Furthermore, one had to be a Sovereign Emperor who cultivated a Divine Vein Cultivation Technique and possessed a Medial Grade Soul Tool.
Otherwise, Xiao Chen could easily leave at any time.
As for a 6-Vein Sovereign Emperor, Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless. His chances of victory were slim.
A 6-Vein Sovereign Emperor was the highest cultivation of a Great Perfection Sovereign Emperor. One more step, and he would be a Peak Sovereign Emperor.
Before condensing a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor's Soul Energy, it was best not to fight with a 6-Vein Sovereign Emperor. Otherwise, an uncontrollable accident might happen.
As for a Peak Sovereign Emperor, Xiao Chen did not dare to think about it. Right now, he was not a match for any Peak Sovereign Emperor.
If he ran into one, he would definitely die. His chances of victory were zero.
Even if he brought out all his trump cards, he would only be able to severely injure the other party at best. He would not be able to truly deal a heavy blow.
"I need a killing move that can truly protect my life."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Be it Dharmic World, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, the Fiendish Saber inheritance, the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, Firmament's Rage, or the Supreme Dragon Fist.
Although they possessed great offensive power and horrifying might, making them unrivaled within the same cultivation realm, they could not allow him to fight against a Peak Sovereign Emperor.
Outsiders would definitely be shocked to see such a thought.
To them, Xiao Chen's powerful techniques and secret techniques were all killing moves. With these killing moves, even Great Perfection Sovereign Emperors would not dare to be too arrogant before Xiao Chen.
However, Xiao Chen was too picky. He was only a Small Perfection Sovereign Emperor, yet he wanted to deal with a Peak Sovereign Emperor.
Xiao Chen needed to find another killing move to take the initiative.
