"That is natural. The Wan Clan is as wealthy as a nation. The ten great sects and eight Noble Clans all have business dealings with them. Now that the Wan Clan's Young Master is getting married, we have to give them some face. "
"I heard that the bride is also a top-notch beauty. She is the female head of the Flying Snow Merchant Association. With this strong alliance, the Wan Clan will become even stronger in the future."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go in quickly. Tomorrow is the official wedding. No matter what, we have to go and join in the fun."
As Xiao Chen, Feng Tianming, and the others stood not far from the city, they heard the discussions of the passersby.
Feng Tianming sighed and said, "At least we are not late. If we were one day late, we would not have been able to do anything."
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Let's enter the city and find a place to sit down first. During the wedding tomorrow, we just need to clarify things with the Wan Clan's people."
Xiao Chen's group concealed themselves a little. After they handed over the wedding gifts, they successfully snuck in.
Although it was deep into the night, the Wan Clan City was brightly lit and bustling with activity. There were lanterns and colored banners everywhere, looking very festive.
Xiao Chen was in his room, cultivating with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his lips curled up. He smiled faintly and said, "You finally revealed your tail."
Using his Spiritual Sense, one of Feng Tianming's bodyguards sneakily opened the door and looked around to make sure no one was around.
Unfolding his body, he quickly slipped out of the inn and flew out of the city.
Xiao Chen opened the window and left behind a strand of Spiritual Sense to follow. Then, he followed from a distance. His gaze was cold and emotionless, and a faint killing intent spread out.
Aside from Xiao Chen and Feng Tianming, only the five bodyguards knew the route Xiao Chen's group took to break through the Black Smoke Mountain Range.
Feng Tianming would not doubt this. Xiao Chen, the trusted aide who had followed him for many years, would.
There could not be such a coincidence in the world. Coincidentally, the Imperial Dragon Warship's energy barrier was weakened to its limit, and it received ten shots from the Peak Demonic Energy Cannons.
There was definitely a traitor. After releasing the scarlet throne, Xiao Chen had been observing the expressions of the five guards. The fluctuations in the expression of the guard called Heng did not escape his notice.
As expected, Zhang Heng could no longer hold himself back the moment the group arrived at the Wan Clan City.
This person was extremely cautious. He seemed to have sensed that someone was following him, and he released his perception force several times to search the surroundings. He even set up a misleading formation to draw out Xiao Chen.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen's Divine Sense could track him from five kilometers away. With his perception, he couldn't detect Xiao Chen at all.
After a few fruitless attempts, Zhang Heng felt that he was being a little paranoid, so he began to rush at full speed.
After a while, he arrived at a remote pavilion. In front of the pavilion, there were cultivators dressed in the attire of the Wan Clan standing guard.
Zhang Heng stepped forward and handed over a token, and the guards in front of the pavilion immediately let him in. The pavilion was heavily guarded, and it was obvious that it was an important place of the Wan Clan.
However, Xiao Chen had his Spiritual Sense and did not need to barge in. He gently landed on a roof and followed Zhang Heng's line of sight to see the situation inside clearly.
Zhang Heng arrived at a wing of the pavilion. Two people had been waiting there for a long time. Xiao Chen recognized one of them.
This person was the welcoming envoy of the Bushin Palace, Wan Feng. The person beside Wan Feng was a handsome youth dressed in magnificent clothes with a decorative hat on his head.
Compared to Wan Feng, this person was also a rare and elegant youth. However, he had a worldly air to him. In comparison, this person's aura was much weaker.
From the conversation between the two, Xiao Chen found out this person's identity. This person was called Wan Shan, and he was the one who married Feng Feixue.
Wan Shan looked at Zhang Heng with some surprise. He said, "I received news that you were shot down near the Black Smoke Mountain Range. How did you arrive at my Wan Clan City so quickly? "
Zhang Heng did not hide anything as he said, "Xiao Chen has a strange throne Secret Treasure. It does not consume Spiritual Energy to fly, and it is extremely fast. Without that throne, Feng Tianming would not have been able to rush over."
Wan Shan frowned slightly and asked, "The King Grade True Dragon genius, the White Robed Bladesman Xiao Chen?"
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "That's right, that's him. The Xiao Clan seems to have a marriage agreement with the Feng Clan's ancestor, so Feng Tianming invited him over.
"Here are ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones and a Void Breaking Pill. Tell me where they are staying, and you may leave."
Wan Shan had not expected this matter to involve Xiao Chen. He felt a headache coming on. He took out a spatial ring and tossed it to Zhang Heng before waving his hand.
Zhang Heng had obtained the benefits that he wanted. He revealed an excited expression and withdrew in satisfaction.
"Cousin, this Xiao Chen is not easy to deal with. The last time Sima Lingxuan advanced to Martial Monarch, he did not even last one move against him. I have no idea what his limits are."
Wan Shan looked at Wan Feng and said, "Furthermore, it is probably not convenient for my great-grandfather to make a move. Xiao Chen possesses the Luck of the Sky Dome Realm. If a Martial Sage makes a move against him, there will be dire consequences."
Wan Feng smiled faintly and said, "How strong can a lower-realm Martial Monarch be? You can rest assured and go hug your beauty. Leave this Xiao Chen to me."
Seeing that Wan Shan still seemed worried, Wan Feng said softly, "According to the Sky Dome Realm, that Zhang Heng is a peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. I am also only an Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. However, I will not even use ten percent of my strength to deal with him."
Not even using ten percent of my strength to deal with a peak Inferior Grade Martial Monarch?
Wan Shan exclaimed, "Really?"
Wan Feng withdrew his smile and said with a grave expression, "The Kunlun Realm is a great realm that you cannot imagine. What does a Martial Monarch count for there?
"Don't worry. If Xiao Chen comes to cause trouble, I will be the first to stop him. Remember to act quickly and swallow up the Feng Clan as soon as possible. This time, I need to bring back one million Superior Grade Spirit Stones. There are too many people to bribe. "
Wan Shan nodded and said, "No problem. Given the wealth that the Feng Clan has accumulated over a thousand years, they will definitely be able to take out one million Superior Grade Spirit Stones."
Up on the roof, Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense and revealed an expression of contemplation. It turned out that the Wan Clan had already made up their mind to swallow up the Feng Clan.
The Wan Clan probably had a special channel to send some of the resources they plundered to the upper realm's Wan Feng. Otherwise, the Wan Clan would not have risen so quickly.
Xiao Chen casually glanced around and found Zhang Heng. Then, he smiled faintly and collected his thoughts.
"Xiu!"
Under the full moon, Xiao Chen gently moved. His white robes were like a specter in the night as he silently landed in front of Zhang Heng.
"Young Master Xiao, why are you here?!"
Zhang Heng had obtained more than ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones out of nowhere and the Void Breaking Pill for breaking through his bottleneck.
When Xiao Chen saw Xiao Chen suddenly appear, he was startled and exclaimed loudly.
Xiao Chen stared at the other party and did not say anything. He withdrew his killing intent and silently placed his right hand on his saber hilt.
Zhang Heng felt guilty. When Xiao Chen looked at him, he felt goosebumps. Under the huge mental pressure, he could not help but tremble.
A deathly silence spread out in the surroundings. Xiao Chen said calmly, "Break your meridians yourself. Don't force me to make a move."
At this moment, Zhang Heng could already guess that his whereabouts had probably been exposed. At first, he wasn't just being paranoid.
A ruthless look flashed in Zhang Heng's eyes as he suddenly attacked. His Quintessence surged, and a fist wind tore through space, punching at Xiao Chen.
However, when Zhang Heng was about to attack, he suddenly changed his move and retreated. It turned out that this was just a feint to confuse Xiao Chen and create an opportunity for him to escape back to the pavilion.
"Blue Dragon Tail Whip!"
However, reality was cruel and merciless. The fist wind only shattered the afterimage that Xiao Chen left behind. As for Xiao Chen, he moved in an arc and instantly attacked.
"Ka ca!"
A resplendent purple saber light lit up the night. Zhang Heng cried out in pain as his right arm was chopped off.
The explosive speed of the Blue Dragon Tail Whip was not something that Zhang Heng could dodge. When Zhang Heng attacked, he did not even have an opportunity to defend.
"Bang!
Bang! "Xiao Chen sheathed his saber and punched with his right hand, shattering this person's dantian. Then, he struck the back of this person's neck, knocking him out.
Everything happened in an instant, as fast as a spark. Zhang Heng did not even feel the pain before he fainted.
Casually carrying this person on his back, Xiao Chen returned to the inn and tossed him into Feng Tianming's room.
When Feng Tianming saw Zhang Heng's body, shock appeared on his face. He asked, "What's going on? Did you get ambushed?"
Xiao Chen told Feng Tianming everything he saw and heard. Then, he took out ten thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones and Void Breaking Pills from Zhang Heng's Spatial Ring.
"Ungrateful dog!"
With a witness and material evidence, Feng Tianming had no choice but to believe the facts before him. He immediately felt enraged and sent a palm strike at Zhang Heng.
Xiao Chen stopped him and said, "Keeping him alive is still useful. This place is no longer safe. We have to change places."
Feng Tianming thought for a while and understood. He instructed the remaining four to carry Zhang Heng and quickly leave this place.
Ten minutes after the group left, the Wan Clan Elders immediately led a large group of people to this place, surging with killing Qi.
However, they did not discover anyone, so they could not help but feel disappointed.
"We are too late. Continue searching. We absolutely cannot let them appear during the day," the Elder leading the group said sullenly.
If no one knew about it at night, they could still kill these people. However, killing the bride's father in front of the guests during the day would not work.
Early the next morning, before the sky had even brightened, the entire Wan Clan City was already bustling with activity. There was an endless stream of people walking the streets.
"The Drifting Snow Sword Sect's people are here as well. The top ten of the True Dragon Ranking, Liu Xiaoyun, is here as well."
"The eight Noble Clans' Bai Qi is here as well. The scions of the Qian Clan and Wang Clan are here as well."
"Sima Lingxuan is here as well."
"The Haotian Sect's Yue Chenxi is here as well!"
"Nearly all the ten great sects and eight great sects are here. The Wan Clan's reputation is indeed great."
On the second floor of an inn in the city, many cultivators gathered by the window. They looked at the people passing by below. When they saw these famous people, they would occasionally exclaim in surprise.
Xiao Chen, who was in the inn, wore a conical bamboo hat as he looked at the crowd below. He felt it was strange as well. He had not expected the Wan Clan to have such influence.
Nearly all the famous sects and Noble Clans in the entire Great Jin Nation had rushed over. Many of their scions were here as well.
Feng Tianming, who was also wearing a conical bamboo hat, sighed softly, "Originally, with the Wan Clan's reputation, it would not be necessary for the ten great sects and eight Noble Clans to come personally. However, the welcoming envoy this time is actually related to the Wan Clan."
