They hated him to the core and were waiting for him to come out so that they could swarm him and beat him to death without a care for the consequences.
Xiao Chen's lips could not help but curl up in a smile. With the Heavenly Sea Cloak, it looked like he did not need to use the backup plans that he had prepared.
Those backup plans were rather troublesome and might not be able to completely hide from this group of people.
It's great now. Just you wait. Even if you wait to the end of the world, you will not see me come out. However, I will not let you vent your frustrations.
The next time they met, as long as it was not such a grand scene, Xiao Chen was confident of leaving easily.
Xiao Chen did not know how long the Heavenly Sea Cloak's ability to deceive everyone would last. He felt his Heavenly Sage Laws depleting quickly.
This was not a good place to linger. After glancing at Ying Qiong and his First Senior Sister, Xiao Chen sent a voice projection to each of them.
He told his First Senior Sister that he was safe so that she would not worry about him. Then, he arranged to meet with Ying Qiong three days later to discuss some matters.
Without waiting for the two to reply, Xiao Chen pushed off the ground and left this place with a calm expression.
The group of people in front of the Sage Mark Monument continued to wait bitterly. They kept imagining how they would teach Xiao Chen a lesson after he came out.
One hour later, Xiao Chen was already far from the Kunlun Mountain Range. As he flew quickly in the air, the feathers on his shoulder slowly unfurled, forming two exquisite wings.
Each wing created a long trail of air, raising his speed by about twenty percent.
Xiao Chen fiddled with the wings and discovered that he could control the direction of the two wings. With a thought, he immediately adjusted his direction.
This discovery delighted Xiao Chen. The speed at which he adjusted his direction was several times faster than before. If he could familiarize himself with it, it would be very beneficial in battle.
The cry of a goshawk came from ahead. Xiao Chen wanted to test out the Skysea Cloak's abilities. As he looked at the goshawk, a faint killing intent rose in his eyes.
All of a sudden, the goshawk shrieked and flapped its wings to fly back in a hurry. It flapped its wings so fast that some of its feathers fell.
Xiao Chen frowned and couldn't help but stop. Had he been discovered?
It seemed like the ability to deceive everyone would lose its effect once killing intent was revealed. The excitement in his heart slowly calmed down. Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He had to find a time to figure out the flaws in his plan to deceive everyone.
Otherwise, he would be in deep trouble at the critical moment.
As the sky darkened, Xiao Chen changed out of the Skysea Cloak and put on a normal cloak. He then arrived at a city controlled by the Ying Family.
The Skysea Cloak was too dazzling. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Profound Domain. One might run into a grandmaster-level Martial Sage at any time and snatch away their treasures. At that time, one would not even have a place to cry.
Three days later, Xiao Chen waited for Ying Qiong in an inn in the city.
After verifying that the person before him was really Xiao Chen, Ying Qiong's face filled with horror. He could not figure it out.
"How did you come out?" Ying Qiong could not help asking out of curiosity. "The people of the Ghost Race, Corpse Race, and Deity Race are going crazy. The ten-day deadline passed long ago, and they still have not waited for you to come out."
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. The image of those people suppressing their frustrations appeared in his mind. However, they could not wait for him to come out, suppressing all their frustrations in their hearts.
Xiao Chen could not help smiling faintly. "What's wrong? Are they still there and not leaving?"
Ying Qiong gave Xiao Chen a strange look. Then, he said, "You are not embarrassed to say that? You humiliated Di Wuque, and the Ghost Race and Corpse Race suffered so miserably. They even wished that they could skin you alive. How could they leave so quickly?"
Xiao Chen really did not mean to say that. The existence of the Death Throne made it hard to resolve the grudges between him and the Ghost Race and Corpse Race.
The matter of the Departed Spirit Fruit was just a fight between the two sides. If Xiao Chen were the one who lost, he would be in an even worse state than these people.
As for Di Wuque, given his ambition, Xiao Chen had long since become a thorn in his side. The conflict between them was even harder to resolve. It was practically impossible for them to coexist.
Since Xiao Chen was Di Wuque's enemy, how could he feel any guilt for everything he did? If he showed any mercy, he would be the one consigned to eternal damnation.
Xiao Chen took a sip of wine and said, "I did not ask you to come here today to talk about this. Look at these."
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table. When he moved his hand away, there were ten flowers as gentle as moonlight on the table. A refreshing fragrance wafted out, spreading throughout the entire room.
Ying Qiong was slightly stunned. Then, he exclaimed in shock, "These are the Lunar Cassia Flowers from a Peak Grade Spirit Tree. Where did you get them? Furthermore, there are ten of them in one go."
Naturally, Xiao Chen could not tell Ying Qiong where the Lunar Cassia Flowers came from. So Xiao Chen took a sip of wine and said calmly, "The Lunar Cassia Flowers have better healing effects than Rank 9 Medicinal Pills when consumed directly. Several Sage Grade Medicinal Pills use the Lunar Cassia Flowers as the main ingredient."
Ying Qiong picked up a Lunar Cassia Flower and sniffed it. She closed her eyes and revealed an immersed expression on her jade-like face.
After a while, she opened her bright eyes and said, "I am very clear about the value of the Lunar Cassia Flowers. There is no need to say more. You want to sell these Lunar Cassia Flowers, right? Ten Lunar Cassia Flowers can be sold for a good price.
"However, it is not a price that will move you. You should keep them for yourself …"
At this point, Ying Qiong suddenly stopped. A strange expression appeared on her face. She looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Don't tell me you still have a large number of Lunar Cassia Flowers? Otherwise, you would not have called me over alone."
Xiao Chen was startled in his heart. This woman was indeed very intelligent. With just a little thought, she had already guessed the situation. "More or less.
I have a large number of Lunar Cassia Flowers that I need you to sell. However, you need to ensure that my identity does not leak out. I can give you these ten Lunar Cassia Flowers as compensation. "
Ying Qiong smiled faintly and stretched out her hand, not standing on ceremony as she accepted the ten Lunar Cassia Flowers. She said, "This is simple. The Flourishing Heaven Pavilion in Leisure Feather City will be holding a large auction soon. At that time, all sorts of people will be there. Given my position there, I can help you get rid of a large number of Lunar Cassia Flowers without anyone noticing."
Leisure Feather City was one of the three largest cities in the Profound Domain. Cultivators of the various races gathered there. There were countless experts in the city. If there was an auction there, there would definitely be a lot of good things.
Xiao Chen felt excited. Right now, he was quite wealthy. There were many things that he wanted to buy and was qualified to participate in the auction of that level.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. He said, "I recall that the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion is a business of your Ying Clan, right?"
Ying Qiong denied it. "No, it is a joint business of the Sovereign Noble Clans of the various races. In name, it is managed by an Emperor Venerate. However, in reality, twelve Holy Venerates manage the daily affairs. Below the Holy Venerates are thirty-six Heavenly Venerates. Below them are the Great Venerates of the various branches.
"I am one of the thirty-six Heavenly Venerates. The authority I can use is rather large. There is no problem in helping you. However, how many Lunar Cassia Flowers do you want to sell?"
Xiao Chen thought for a while before replying calmly, "About five hundred."
Ying Qiong sucked in a breath of cold air. He looked at Xiao Chen incredulously and said, "Five hundred? Did I hear wrongly? Don't tell me you found a laurel tree that had just bloomed? "
When the Lunar Cassia Tree bloomed, white flowers would fill the treetops. However, when the wind blew, the flowers would fall off easily. In less than thirty days, all the Lunar Cassia Flowers would be gone.
This was another reason why Lunar Cassia Flowers were so rare. Five hundred Lunar Cassia Flowers would cost tens of millions of Astral Coins. This was not a small number.
If the number were not too large, Xiao Chen would not have sought Ying Qiong's help. How could several dozen Lunar Cassia Flowers attract any attention?
The Lunar Cassia Tree was a treasure trove. It bloomed only once every five hundred years. If it were not so valuable, Xiao Chen would not have taken the risk to scam the Ghost Race and the Corpse Race.
Ying Qiong recovered his wits and smiled bitterly. "It looks like your harvest in the Sage Mark Monument is no worse than Di Wuque's. I have to think carefully about the faction that can buy five hundred Lunar Cassia Flowers in one go."
"Is it very difficult?" Xiao Chen asked with a frown.
Ying Qiong said after some thought, "It is not difficult to sell them. However, if you sell so many Lunar Cassia Flowers at the same time, the other party will definitely lower the price. I have to help you think about it carefully. Otherwise, you will suffer a huge loss. Just wait for my news."
After Ying Qiong left, Ao Jiao asked in confusion, "Xiao Chen, why are you in such a rush to sell the Lunar Cassia Flowers? You already have tens of millions of Astral Coins now. You do not lack money."
Xiao Chen put down the wine cup in his hand and explained, "The cost of teleporting from the Kunlun Realm to the Sky Dome Realm is astronomical. I definitely have to bear the cost myself.
"Furthermore, after returning to the Sky Dome Realm, I intend to stay there for a long time before leaving. I need to prepare sufficient cultivation resources."
When Ao Jiao heard Xiao Chen's explanation, she did not say anything more. However, she still reminded him, "You just advanced to Martial Sage, and you want to return? The Sky Dome Realm is not like the Kunlun Realm. Your cultivation speed will definitely slow down. Now is the time for the younger generation to put in effort. It was not easy for you to catch up to them at the starting line. "
In the past, Xiao Chen's cultivation had always lagged behind his peers. He had been chasing after them bitterly. Now that he had reached the new starting line of Martial Sage, he finally stood at the same starting line and charged into the Martial Emperor's Dao together.
If Xiao Chen gave up on this opportunity to advance at the same time, he would have to spend a lot of effort and effort to catch up.
Xiao Chen stood up and walked out of the booth. He said, "Don't worry. Since I already decided to return, naturally, I have already considered everything clearly."
"I'm just reminding you, not worrying about you. Don't overthink."
Xiao Chen smiled and did not say anything.
Inside the room of the inn, Xiao Chen cultivated calmly, consolidating the foundation that he had just advanced to Martial Sage and familiarizing himself with the various changes that came with advancing to Martial Sage.
Xiao Chen, who was in a leisurely mood, did not know that the rumors about him in the outside world had already caused a huge commotion.
Ten days had already passed. The Ghost Race, Corpse Race, and Deity Race cultivators waited for three days. However, they still did not see Xiao Chen appear. Their patience had worn thin.
With nowhere to vent their frustrations, one could easily imagine how depressed these people were.
However, most of them were worried about why Xiao Chen did not come out of the Sage Mark Monument. Since ancient times, no one had ever heard of someone not appearing in the Sage Mark Monument.
