However, it was still fine. Situ Lei feared Xiao Chen's strength and did not dare to take risks, fearing that he would suffer too many losses.
The people of the Situ Clan are all bad people. You saved that person, yet they still treat you like this, Ao Jiao said angrily from the Immortal Spirit Ring.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he said, Logically speaking, they do not know that I have a treasure on me and that I am just passing by. Not only do I not have any grudges with them, but they also owe me a favor. They should not have reacted like that.
Ao Jiao's eyes wandered, and she revealed an expression of understanding on her delicate face. She said, "You mean to say that there is something fishy about this?"
Xiao Chen leaped onto a tree branch beside him and silently extended his Spiritual Sense back. He nodded and said, "There is definitely something strange about this. I want to see what exactly is going on."
At the gates of the stronghold, Situ Feng felt surprised. He asked, "Clan Head, why are we just letting him go? This person is very strong and cannot be of use to us. He will be a source of trouble and disrupt our plans. "
At this moment, Situ Lei's expression had already turned completely sullen, looking extremely terrifying. He looked coldly at the surrounding people and said, "So what if we do not let him go? The encirclement is already broken. It will be too difficult to keep him here.
"We might as well let him go, lest we gain another enemy. I do not want anything unexpected to happen while we are fighting for the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit."
When Situ Feng heard this, he was greatly startled. Is that White Robed Bladesman really that horrifying? Even the Clan Head said that it would be difficult to keep him here.
"However, it is not safe to just let him go. This person's origins are unknown. It is hard to say that he is not here for the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit," an old man beside Situ Feng said worriedly.
An old man said worriedly. This old man had a profound cultivation, and he was only a step away from the Half-Saint Realm. He was the Great Elder of the Situ Clan.
Situ Lei looked into the distance and said coldly, "Naturally, we have to be on guard. Find two people who are good at tracking and have them follow him from afar. See if he is really just passing by.
"If he is not, we have to spend a lot of effort to kill him. The Liu Clan's people are already having a headache. I will not allow anyone to fish in troubled waters!"
The voice was bone-chilling and emotionless, devoid of any warmth.
Xiao Chen, who was on the tree branch, withdrew his Spiritual Sense and suddenly understood. He muttered, "So, that is how it is."
The White Nascent Fruit had similar effects to the Earth Essence Fruit. It could increase a cultivator's cultivation without any side effects. However, normally, the peak White Nascent Fruit could only live for five hundred years.
The thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit was extremely rare. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a mutated fruit. Its effects could even tempt Martial Sages.
If the Clan obtained it and gave it to the Situ Clan to break through to half-Sage, it, the Martial Sage Xiao would not be.
One half-Sage was equivalent to fifty Superior Grade Martial Monarchs. In that case, the balance between the Situ Clan and the Liu Clan of Azure Peak City would be broken.
No matter who, the Tian, the other clan would. The Clan would be, and and would be. and would. Chen, Lei would be, Chen. to to.....
"Hey, trash master, you can't be thinking of something, right? You have to think clearly, with the strength of the two families added together, it's impossible for us to win. "Chen Yu Chen Chen" to say., "Chen," Chen, "a......... Chen Chen Chen..........
When Ao Jiao saw that Xiao Chen was tempted, she reminded him.
Xiao Chen said softly, "I do have such intentions. To break through to Superior Grade Martial Monarch, I would need at least two hundred Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. That is an astronomical sum. This thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit is practically made for me."
Ao Jiao continued to advise, "However, it is too difficult to snatch food from the tiger's mouth from two half-Sages. Furthermore, they have a group of Martial Monarch experts behind them."
Xiao Chen leaped down from the tree branch and said calmly, "I know my limits. There are strong and weak half-Sages. Clearly, these two are much weaker than Bai Wuxue and the others.
"The most important thing is that these two are not united. Given that, I have a good chance." "Shua!
Shua! "
Soft footsteps resounded. Xiao Chen scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense and saw two black-clad men sneaking around. They stuck to a tree five hundred meters away, watching him carefully.
The two black-clad men withdrew their auras. They were like a rock, showing no signs of lifeforce as they stuck to the tree.
Their concealment skills were very impressive.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense was much stronger than the Mental Energy that regular cultivators used to sense. At such a close distance, Xiao Chen could not keep any secrets from them.
After withdrawing his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen continued walking forward as if nothing had happened. There did not seem to be anything wrong with him. However, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
The stronghold of Azure Peak City's Liu Clan in the Savage Beast Forest was also a heavily guarded mountain stronghold with many experts.
There were many wooden houses in the mountain stronghold. The guards were stationed every five steps and ten steps. Everyone had a tense expression on their faces.
The Liu Clan's upper echelon gathered in one of the wooden houses, anxiously discussing countermeasures.
The rectangular mahogany table was filled with the elders of the Liu Clan. Behind the tables and chairs stood a crowd of cultivators.
For the sake of the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit, the Liu Clan sent out all its elites. Even the weakest Liu Clan disciple here was a Medial Grade Martial Monarch.
Seated at the top of the mahogany table was an old man dressed in a black brocade robe. He had a dignified expression on his face. He was the Liu Clan's Patriarch, Liu Chen. Beside him stood a young man.
This was Liu Enze's eldest son, Liu Enze. He was already a peak Superior Grade Martial Monarch. If Liu Enze obtained the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit, he would use it to break through to half-Sage.
"Patriarch, this subordinate is incompetent and allowed Situ Feng to escape in the end."
The black-clothed swordsman, who only had his right arm left, knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.
Liu Chen said expressionlessly, "Get up. It does not matter whether you catch him or not. After he discovered our goal, he immediately used a hummingbird to send the news to that old man, Situ Lei."
An old man on his right said helplessly, "Our scouts have reported. Situ Lei has already led all the experts of the clan to the gathering point in the Savage Beast Forest. It looks like it will be even more difficult to pick the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit this time. "
It was impossible for there to be no Spirit Beasts guarding the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit. When it fully ripened, it might even attract Spirit Beasts from far away.
Trying to obtain the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit from among these Spirit Beasts was already difficult enough. Now, with the addition of the Situ Clan, the number of variables had increased significantly. Liu Chen could not help but worry.
A ferocious light appeared in Liu Chen's eyes; no one dared to look at him directly. He said coldly, "There can only be one clan in Azure Peak City. This old man has had enough of that old man, Situ Lei. Since he dares to come, this is a good opportunity to destroy him."
A strange light appeared in Liu Enze's eyes. He said, "Father, a mysterious White Robed Bladesman saved Situ Feng. That White Robed Bladesman easily injured five Martial Monarchs. We have to guard against him."
Hatred flashed in the eyes of the one-armed black-clothed swordsman. He said, "Indeed, Clan Head, that person has a strange background and is very strong. If the Situ Clan supports the Situ Clan when the White Nascent Fruit ripens, it will be very disadvantageous for us. "
The Situ Clan and the Liu Clan were evenly matched. If one side received help, the balance would be broken. This person was not lying.
"Enze, bring some people to investigate. If it is just a passing cultivator, then forget about it. This is a critical period. Do not complicate matters," Liu Chen said after thinking for a while.
The one-armed black-clothed swordsman said anxiously, "Clan Head, he injured a cultivator of my Liu Clan and chopped off one of my arms. How can we just let this go?"
Liu Chen's gaze turned cold as he looked at the one-armed black-clothed swordsman. He said in a frosty voice, "You piece of trash. Not only did you let someone leak the news, but you even dare to question my decision?"
The one-armed black-clothed swordsman's heart skipped a beat. When he felt Liu Chen's killing Qi, his body trembled and he did not dare to say anything more.
…
As dusk approached, Xiao Chen found an empty space and started a fire. Then, he started to roast some Spirit Beast meat that he had hunted.
The two scouts of the Situ Clan silently hid in a tree five hundred meters away. They withdrew their auras and only used their peripheral vision to observe Xiao Chen.
They were very careful and cautious, afraid of attracting Xiao Chen's attention.
"Speaking of which, Ao Jiao, what is the relationship between that Eternal Heavenly Sword School and the Thunder King? Why does he have the Thunder Light Fleeing Shadows Sword?"
If Situ Feng had not used this Sword Technique, Xiao Chen would have left long ago. It would be a lie to say that he was not curious.
Ao Jiao, who was in the Immortal Spirit Ring, felt very suspicious as well. Her delicate face filled with confusion. She said softly, I don't know. I don't recall the Thunder King establishing his own sect. "Crunch!
Crunch! "
The golden beef of the Golden Savage Ox, which had been picked up by a tree branch, gave off crunching sounds as the flames roasted it.
The surface of the beef cracked open, and golden oil flowed out. The aroma of the beef whetted one's appetite.
Xiao Chen twirled the tree branch in a practiced manner. As he looked at the golden beef, he asked, "Since he did not establish a sect, did the Thunder King leave behind any secret manuals?"
Ao Jiao replied without hesitation, "He did leave behind secret manuals. However, I am sure that no one else obtained them. There is no possibility of them leaking out."
"Then, did he have any disciples? If he did, it would not be surprising if they leaked out," Xiao Chen continued asking.
Ao Jiao shook her head and said, "Sang Mu has always been a loner. He did not even have many friends. How could he have a disciple?"
There were no secret manuals or inheritors. However, two thousand years later, when Ao Jiao came to the Kunlun Realm again, she saw the Thunder King's Thunder Light Fleeing Shadows Sword. This was indeed strange.
The Golden Beef was already cooked. Xiao Chen tore off a piece of beef and enjoyed the delicacy. Then, he took out a flask of wine from the Universe Ring and drank it.
Xiao Chen sat by the bonfire and ate large chunks of meat, feeling very carefree.
After the meat and wine were done, Xiao Chen stood up and stretched his body. Then, he held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand and said softly, "Actually, we will know the truth after we make a trip to the Eternal Heavenly Sword School.
"Of course, that is on the premise that I can survive and obtain the thousand-year-old White Nascent Fruit!"
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he quickly turned around and instantly drew the Lunar Shadow Saber. The resplendent saber light instantly lit up the dark forest.
Five hundred meters away, the tree hiding the two Situ Clan cultivators exploded. The two Situ Clan cultivators were completely exposed to Xiao Chen.
"Let's go. This person discovered us long ago."
The two Situ Clan cultivators were greatly startled. Without saying anything else, they split up and ran.
Xiao Chen looked at the Situ Clan cultivator on the left and smiled faintly. He pushed off the ground, and an Azure Dragon image appeared under his feet, carrying him into the air.
The two scouts were good at hiding and tracking. Their cultivations were not high; they were only early-stage Inferior Grade Martial Monarchs. How could they be a match for Xiao Chen?
