Mo Fan said sullenly, "I have investigated the Sacred Heavenly Church in detail. They have a great and mysterious background. I already have some guesses, but I am not sure yet. I'll just say what I am sure of!
"There are a total of six small cities in Qizi County. Each city has a puppet supported by the Sacred Heavenly Church. They have unknowingly controlled all the underground powers of the entire Qizi County.
"I spent some time visiting the other counties and discovered that there are branches of the Sacred Heavenly Church in several counties. They all use the same method to support puppets to control the underground powers of the counties.
"It seems like there are branches of the Sacred Heavenly Church throughout the entire Great Qin Nation. However, they are active in the counties and not the prefectural cities. Hence, they did not attract much attention."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. However, he did not think too much about it. In his opinion, the Sacred Heavenly Church was just a small fry. In the end, a sect should focus on developing its own strength.
With such a small fry, when it truly angered a strong sect, any Martial Monarch would be able to deal with it easily.
Now that he had a rough idea, Xiao Chen said, "Tell me the location of the Sacred Heavenly Church's headquarters in Qizi County. I will personally make a trip there."
It was easy to destroy a Zhang Clan. However, the other party could support another Zhang Clan at any time. Hence, he had to deal with the problem at its source.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I have something to give you." After obtaining an answer, Xiao Chen changed the topic. He took out the thousand-year-old Rank 9 lightning-attributed Demonic Core and said, "Aside from this matter, I would like to ask you for a favor."
Mo Fan received the Demonic Core and took a look. His expression changed greatly as he exclaimed, "This is the Demonic Core of a thousand-year-old Rank 9 Demonic Beast. Where did you get it from? How strong are you now?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "A thousand-year-old Demonic Beast is already a Martial Sage. I will definitely not be able to kill it. This is a gift from a friend. I would like you to help me insert this Rank 9 lightning-attributed Demonic Core into the Lunar Shadow Saber. Can you do that? "
Mo Fan smiled and said, "Leave it to me. With the prescription you gave me, although my leg is still a little lame, my meridians are finally open. I did not make no progress in the past four years."
Without any hesitation, Mo Fan immediately agreed. He held the Lunar Shadow Saber and the Demonic Core in his hands. He rejected Xiao Chen's offer of help and headed straight for the underground forging room.
After Mo Fan left, Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "Sacred Heavenly Cult … I hope it won't be a big problem."
No matter what, the Xiao Clan was his root in this world. He, Xiao Chen, couldn't just watch the Xiao Clan be in trouble without doing anything.
That way, he wouldn't be able to leave with peace of mind. He would be worried and unable to calm down.
It would probably take some time to reforge the Lunar Shadow Saber. Xiao Chen did not want to waste any time. He took out two Superior Grade Spirit Stones and sat cross-legged in the courtyard, entering a state of cultivation.
Four hours later, Xiao Chen's heart sank. He felt a strong aura probing him with his perception.
He opened his eyes and immediately extended out his Spiritual Sense. He saw a strangely dressed black-clothed man standing on a roof a kilometer away from the smithy, looking in his direction with an unfriendly gaze.
The black-clothed man withdrew his perception and said in a low voice, "White clothes, delicate facial features, no older than twenty-two years old. It seems like it is this person. However, he does not seem to be easy to deal with."
"Are you looking for me?"
A sudden voice came from behind him. When the black-clothed man heard this, his expression changed drastically. He quickly turned his head and saw that Xiao Chen had appeared at some point in time, looking at him expressionlessly.
"Pretending to be mysterious! Die!"
The black-clothed man's reaction was very fast. The instant he turned around, he sent out a palm strike.
There was a fiery-red glow in his palm. A golden Heavenly Roc image spread its wings and cried out, making the fiery-red glow even more resplendent and dazzling.
"Berserk Dragon!"
Xiao Chen remained expressionless. He clenched his right fist tightly and all his Vital Qi surged. An azure dragon head appeared and roared ferociously. A resonant dragon roar resounded.
"Heavenly Roc Spreads Its Wings, Shaking the Surroundings, Winds Blow and Clouds Churn. I have the Berserk Dragon Roar, Winds and Clouds Break!"
"Bang!"
The azure dragon head crashed into the fiery-red glow. The glow shattered and vanished. The black-clothed man vomited a large mouthful of blood. The golden Heavenly Roc behind him shattered.
The black-clothed man flew back and smashed a huge hole in the roof below. After that, there was a loud 'boom' and a shockwave exploded. The tall building collapsed and turned into rubble, burying the black-clothed man.
This was the result of the absolute difference in strength. The black-clothed man was only a Superior Grade Martial King. How could he resist Xiao Chen, who was a half-step Martial Monarch?
High in the sky, Xiao Chen looked coldly at the rubble on the ground. A murderous intent spread in his eyes.
"Roar!"
A piercing bird cry came from under the rubble. Countless stone fragments shot up from the ground and floated in the air.
The black-clothed man soared into the air and the golden Heavenly Roc behind him reformed once more. Its might was even stronger now.
"Berserk Dragon, Claw!"
Xiao Chen's figure flickered. He was so fast that the black-clothed man could not react in time. The azure dragon claw on his left hand tore through the air.
Five bloody wounds appeared on the black-clothed man's body. The golden Heavenly Roc behind him cried out miserably. Its feathers flew off and it turned into beams of golden light.
"You are too much!"
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "The black-clothed man roared ferociously. The golden Heavenly Roc reformed once more and charged at Xiao Chen. The fiery light in his hand looked solid, dazzling and piercing.
"Not enough. Berserk Dragon Break!"
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. With a thought, the dragon head on his right hand and the dragon claw on his left connected head to tail, turning into a complete Blue Dragon.
A resonant dragon roar soared into the sky. The lifelike Blue Dragon bared its fangs and claws as it roared ferociously.
The black-clothed man's clothes were blasted into tatters. He vomited a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Xiu!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed and arrived beside the black-clothed man. Then, like an eagle catching a chick, he picked the black-clothed man up and asked coldly, "Why are you following me?"
The black-clothed man's pale face was devoid of blood. He laughed strangely and spat out a mouthful of blood at Xiao Chen.
"Bang!"
A purple flame spewed out from Xiao Chen's right eye. The blood immediately evaporated into a bloody mist, scalding the black-clothed man until he cried out in pain.
"I will ask you one more time, one last time. Who are you? Why are you following me?" Xiao Chen asked coldly with a calm expression.
The black-clothed man smiled fearlessly and said, "If you have the guts, then kill me. I am just an insignificant person from the Sacred Heavenly Church. Even if you kill me, it will not change anything. You are Xiao Chen, right? Just wait for the Xiao Clan to be destroyed."
In the black-clothed man's opinion, with the Xiao Clan holding him back, Xiao Chen absolutely would not dare to kill him.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen picked up the black-clothed man's body and tossed him high into the air. The black-clothed man immediately felt an irrepressible fear in his heart. Just as he was about to say something …
The black-clothed man grunted in pain and stopped breathing. A purple flame arrow shot out from Xiao Chen's eyes and pierced through the black-clothed man's forehead.
In that instant, the black-clothed man felt regret in his heart. However, he no longer had the chance to regret.
Looking at the black-clothed man's corpse on the ground, Xiao Chen said calmly, "I do not care about the insignificant Sacred Heavenly Church. So, you can really die now."
Holding the black-clothed man's corpse in his hand, Xiao Chen rushed back to Mo Fan's smithy before the crowd surrounded him.
After four hours, Mo Fan walked out of the underground smithy with a fatigued expression. In his hand was a brand new Lunar Shadow Saber in its scabbard.
Seeing the black-clothed man's corpse on the ground, Mo Fan was stunned. He said, "This is the envoy of the Sacred Heavenly Church in Mohe City. You killed him?"
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "En, he is just a minor character. There is no need to bother with him. Let me take a look at the saber."
"Ka!"
Holding the saber hilt with his right hand, Xiao Chen felt the surging energy in the saber. He gently pushed his right hand forward and the pitch-black saber immediately released a purple light.
Bolts of flickering lightning shot out from the saber. Strands of electricity leaped around in the courtyard.
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen pushed the saber forward ferociously and drew the entire saber. Instantly, a piercing purple electricity lit up the entire courtyard. Xiao Chen did not use any strength at all; it was the Lunar Shadow Saber's own strength.
Mo Fan smiled and said, "The Lunar Shadow Saber is now a true Superior Grade Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. It is overflowing with sharpness and electricity. Its might is twenty percent stronger than before."
Xiao Chen revealed an excited smile on his face. He said, "I knew you were capable of this. Many thanks."
Returning the saber to its scabbard, Xiao Chen took out a thousand-year-old Black Profound Ginseng from the Universe Ring and handed it over to Mo Fan, not allowing the other party to reject it.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Don't reject it. You have taken care of the Xiao Clan for so long and helped me forge the Lunar Shadow Saber twice. Logically speaking, I owe you."
A thousand-year-old Black Profound Ginseng was enough to increase Mo Fan's cultivation by twenty years. Honestly speaking, the temptation was very great.
"Ha ha! In that case, I will respectfully accept. What are your plans after this?" Mo Fan asked.
Xiao Chen grasped the Lunar Shadow Saber tightly with his right hand and said calmly, "It is very simple. I will attack the root of the problem and kill them all."
As long as they were a threat, he would have to eliminate them. Xiao Chen could not be bothered to consider other methods. The Five Nation Youth Competition was only a few months away.
All the genius cultivators were cultivating bitterly, waiting for that moment to arrive. Xiao Chen did not have much time to think.
Mo Fan asked, "Do you not intend to make a trip to the Xiao Clan? You have done so much. If your father knew about it, he might reconsider. "
Xiao Chen paused for a moment and revealed a bitter smile. He shook his head and said, "There is no need. Since he chased me away, he must have his own plans. I will just come back and take a look from afar."
"Let's go!"
Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen waved his hand and said goodbye to Mo Fan.
Heavenly Jade Mountain was the largest mountain range in Qizi County. Even Mohe City's Seven Horn Mountain was not even half as big.
However, compared to Seven Horn Mountain, Heavenly Jade Mountain was not even half as valuable. This was because the mountain did not have a Spirit Vein, Spirit Herbs, or Spirit Beasts. It was just a desolate mountain.
However, on this desolate mountain that no one paid any attention to, a huge castle had been built at some point in time.
Although the castle was large, it was built in a very low-profile manner. It was hidden in the lush green forest. If one did not fly high into the sky, it would be hard to discover it.
On the city walls, there were cultivators holding crossbows every few meters. They looked around vigilantly. It looked like the walls were made of iron, impenetrable.
