This castle was the headquarters of the Sacred Heavenly Church in Qizi County. After learning its exact location from Mo Fan, Xiao Chen rushed over in half a day.
"What are you planning to do?" Ao Jiao asked from within the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Xiao Chen, who was hidden in the clouds, raised his head and looked at the setting sun. He said softly, "Let's wait for the sky to turn dark."
When Xiao Chen scanned the castle with his Spiritual Sense, the so-called defense of this castle was like a joke to him. He could see everything clearly; there were no secrets at all.
There were five Martial Kings in the castle. However, the strongest was only a Superior Grade Martial King. The other four were only Inferior Grade Martial Kings.
They could not pique Xiao Chen's interest at all. He could easily destroy them with the flip of his hand.
This was also why Xiao Chen did not think highly of the Sacred Heavenly Church from the start. No matter how good their plans were, before absolute strength, they were all just a joke.
However, Ao Jiao was not as relaxed as Xiao Chen. She said, "Have you ever thought that the small Qizi County has five Martial Kings? If that is the case, how many bases does the Sacred Heavenly Church have? An organization with so many Martial Kings is definitely not as simple as you think. "
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Naturally, I have thought about it. That is why I have to wait for the sky to turn dark. When everyone here dies, there will only be true pain. Only then will this group of people realize that the person they offended is not someone they can afford to offend. That is why they will restrain themselves. "
Ao Jiao smiled and said, "You are not stupid. There is no need for me to worry. In that case, let's just do it."
The sun set in the west, and dusk arrived. The night was as dark as ink. Layers of clouds dyed the sky, and the entire world sank into darkness.
Xiao Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the brightly lit castle. His lips curled up into a faint smile as he dived down.
In the courtyard of the Zhang Clan in Mohe City, the great hall was crowded. All the elites of the Zhang Clan, Martial Grand Master and above, were gathered here.
A few Martial Saint guest elders had arrived as well. No one was absent. The Zhang Clan's Clan Head, Zhang Yan, sat in the middle of the great hall.
Relying on the rapid development of the past two years, the Zhang family, which controlled most of the properties in the city, had roped in many experts.
There were more than ten Martial Saints and more than a hundred Martial Grand Masters. Zhang Yan was an Inferior Grade Martial King. He was considered a peak expert in Mohe City.
With such a strong strength, no one in Mohe City could block him. Even the once glorious Xiao Clan could not. As for the previous Tang Clan, they had already been reduced to a third-rate clan, unable to even show their face.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was somewhat depressing. No one spoke.
Everyone's faces were filled with excitement, caution, seriousness, and eagerness.
"Patriarch, do you really plan to make a move against the Xiao Family tomorrow? Haven't we already agreed to the City Lord's Mansion's request? "Finally, an elder who was older couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Yan said sullenly, "Originally, I was prepared to wait for a while longer. However, after what happened in the restaurant during the day, I'm afraid that the situation might change. I cannot wait any longer."
"However, I heard that the Xiao Clan's Second Young Master is now a disciple of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Could it be …?" a young cultivator with small eyes asked worriedly.
The moment these words came out, some of the cultivators who had experienced what happened four years ago revealed expressions of lingering fear.
Zhang Yan's heart tightened as well. Four years ago, he did not lead a team to kill his way into the Xiao Clan. He was fortunate enough to survive, resulting in the Zhang Clan's glory today.
However, the Tang Clan's Clan Head and the strong Leng Clan's Clan Head had died at the same time. Their clans had also declined.
However, Zhang Yan quickly calmed down. He smiled and said, "There is no need to be afraid. We now have the Sacred Heavenly Church protecting us. Furthermore, Xiao Xiong's son has grown up. Isn't my eldest son as well? He is now a core disciple of the Misty Sword Sect. Furthermore, that brat was chased out of the clan by Xiao Xiong long ago.
"What are you all worried about? Now is the best opportunity. While the Xiao Clan thinks that we will abide by the City Lord's agreement, we will deal them a fatal blow, preventing them from rising again.
"As long as the Xiao Clan is not destroyed, I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace. Decide. Those who agree to attack tomorrow, raise your hand."
Most of the cultivators present did not hesitate to raise their hands.
Destroying the Xiao Clan would be equivalent to obtaining vast resources. To them, there would be many benefits. Naturally, all of them were eager to give it a try.
When the few cautious cultivators saw this situation, they could only raise their hands helplessly.
Zhang Yan said in satisfaction, "Very good. We will set off tomorrow and wash the Xiao Clan in blood. From now on, for the sake of secrecy, no one is allowed to leave this great hall."
"Pu ci!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen was massacring the Sacred Heavenly Church, which the Zhang Clan's Clan Head regarded as a threat.
The Sacred Heavenly Church that the Zhang Clan's Clan Head thought of as the Sacred Heavenly Church died like vegetables in Xiao Chen's hands. He did not even bother to draw the Lunar Shadow Saber at his waist.
When the gap in strength reached an insurmountable chasm, the advantage of numbers would only be a so-called joke.
From the moment Xiao Chen landed, the fate of this group of people in the castle was sealed. There was no way for them to survive.
Miserable cries resounded. Xiao Chen moved through the castle as though there was no one there. No one could stop him; they could not even make him pause for a moment.
In the palace at the highest point of the castle, the five Martial Kings with the highest authority had sullen expressions as they looked at the murderous Xiao Chen.
There was a flight of steps under the five. Xiao Chen casually punched twice, and a surging fist wind swept out.
He blasted the last two black-clothed cultivators blocking his way in half. Finally, he arrived at the bottom of the flight of steps. His body slowly floated up as he looked at the five people in front.
The person in the middle had the highest cultivation, a Superior Grade Martial King. With such cultivation, he could be considered the strongest in Qizi County. However, in Xiao Chen's eyes, he was still not strong enough.
The black robes that person wore were clearly thicker than those of the people around him. The ancient patterns on his robes were also more complicated, making him look solemn and dignified.
"Friend, no matter what the reason is, it is still not too late for you to leave. Let me tell you this clearly. The Sacred Heavenly Church is not something that a peak Superior Grade Martial King can bully."
The first Martial King from the left said coldly as he looked at Xiao Chen. Although he felt fear in his heart, his tone was not overly flustered.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Ignorant fool. Did I say that I am a Superior Grade Martial King?"
"Ka ca!"
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber with lightning speed. A dazzling purple light flashed, and an extremely fast saber Qi flashed.
The person who spoke was chopped in half by the saber Qi. His body exploded and turned into a pool of blood.
"We misjudged. This person is a half-step Martial Monarch. Split up and report to headquarters to give up on Qizi County."
The person in the middle had a surprised expression as he quickly retreated. The remaining three split up as well, heading in different directions.
Originally, the five of them thought that Xiao Chen was only a peak Superior Grade Martial King. With the five of them working together, they should have been able to kill him.
However, they did not expect that after Xiao Chen drew his saber and revealed his strength, he could instantly kill them. The difference was so great that they could not make up for it with numbers or techniques.
"Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations!"
Xiao Chen's figure trembled slightly, and he split into four clones. Then, he chased after the fleeing black-clothed men.
A cool breeze blew, and Xiao Chen hid all his killing intent. Before the four pursuers could react, an overwhelming killing intent erupted.
Aside from the leader of the group, who managed to dodge the attack at the crucial moment, the other four did not have time to react before they were killed.
The five clones merged together, and the purple light on Xiao Chen's saber became extremely resplendent. Under the huge pressure, the black-clothed man closed his eyes in despair.
"Roar!"
Just at this moment, a resonant bird cry resounded in the distance. A golden sword light flew over from afar and blocked Xiao Chen's saber.
"Bang!"
The saber and sword clashed, producing a huge energy shockwave. A strong wind blew, sending countless fallen leaves flying.
A huge force spread out from the saber. Xiao Chen could not help but take ten steps back before he could stabilize himself.
Xiao Chen was astonished. The other party was actually stronger than him. Although Xiao Chen did not do much, this person who suddenly appeared was already an expert.
The person who arrived was also wearing black robes. However, the patterns on the robes were made of gold. This added an ancient and dignified aura to the robes, adding a sense of grandeur to it.
The black-robed man with the gold lining wore a mask that covered half his face. He looked very mysterious.
"Young Master, this subordinate is useless. I made an error in judgment. That person is a half-step Martial Monarch," the Superior Grade Martial King said in horror as he knelt on the ground.
The masked man smiled faintly and said, "You can leave first. The Qizi County's foundation is now useless. Don't come back again."
That person felt like he was relieved of a heavy burden and quickly ran into the distance.
Suddenly, the silent Xiao Chen said, "I know you, even though you purposely changed your voice. Who are you?"
The person under the mask did not deny it. He smiled gently and said, "Honestly speaking, I did not expect that, given your character, you would be in closed-door cultivation instead of preparing for the Five Nation Youth Competition. I did not expect that you would have the time to come to Mohe City."
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Hiding your head but showing your tail. Let's see who you are."
"Boom!
Boom! "Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the night sky. As Xiao Chen swung his saber, the clouds in the surroundings quickly gathered above Xiao Chen's head.
This was the starting stance of the Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique: Wind and Cloud Move, Wind Blows, Clouds Move, Clouds Dance with the Wind.
"Dang!"
The masked man smiled faintly. He did not show any fear when facing the strong Xiao Chen. The golden Heavenly Roc wings on his back spread out, and a dazzling light turned into a sharp sword Qi.
When the saber and sword clashed, the two immediately moved back. The two forces were evenly matched, and they each moved back a hundred meters.
The center of the churning clouds also moved back a hundred meters, remaining above Xiao Chen's head.
"Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique's second move, Gathering Wind and Clouds!"
As the saber danced, the wind and clouds suddenly merged together. The clouds in the surroundings immediately formed a huge whirlpool above Xiao Chen's head.
When the masked man saw this mysterious phenomenon, his expression remained calm. He had a carefree smile on his face. "Lightning Tribulation Saber Technique, interesting. Let's see how far you have cultivated it."
The golden Heavenly Roc image behind the masked man flashed and appeared under him. Then, it carried him into the air. His speed tripled.
