As the two chatted, a Spirit Bird flew in. Ximen Bao asked out of curiosity, "Who sent the letter?"
Bai Wuxue took out a piece of paper from the bird's leg and said, "I asked an elder of the Full Moon Pavilion to keep an eye on Xiao Chen and see how many military merits he has."
Ximen Bao was unhappy with Xiao Chen. He laughed loudly and said, "There's no need to look. That brat cannot compare to Brother Bai. No matter how powerful an Inferior Grade Martial Sage is, he is only so-so. This time, Brother Bai will definitely trample on him."
Bai Wuxue, who opened the piece of paper, was stunned, somewhat in disbelief. He read it a few times before confirming that he had not seen wrong.
"Bright purple skull. Killed the Black Stone Old Revenant. Obtained ten thousand military merits. Killed too many Demonic Corpses. Too many to count."
When Ximen Bao heard Bai Wuxue read out the contents of the piece of paper, the wine cup he was holding to his lips fell to the ground and shattered. Ximen Bao could not close his mouth for a long time.
The army of the Corpse Race had already occupied the second line of defense. One of the islands produced Black Patterned Stones, which could be used to refine the rare Black Patterned Gold.
The Corpse Race army did not refine much each time. However, after eight to ten years, the quantity would be considerable. It would be more than enough to refine a Sub-Divine Weapon.
This island was called Black Patterned Island. It was also the main island of the second line of defense. The White Bone Sovereign's descendant, Long Fei, and the Underworld Fire Sovereign's descendant, Wei Hua, were currently discussing matters in a great hall on the island. Their expressions were extremely relaxed.
There were two other people beside the two. One of them was Wang Can. Although his great-grandfather was a Corpse Race Martial Emperor, he was not a Sovereign Martial Emperor. His status in the Corpse Race was far below that of Long Fei and Wei Hua.
The other person's identity was very interesting. It was hard to imagine that he would appear together with Wei Hua again.
This person was the Iron Hand Sovereign's descendant, Kui Dou. The grudge between the Iron Hand Sovereign and the Underworld Fire Sovereign had caused a huge commotion back then. Even the descendants of the younger generation had many different versions of the story.
The White Bone Sovereign's descendant, Long Fei, was very fair and clean. He dressed like a scholarly young master and held a folding fan in his hand. This was a great contrast to the Corpse Race people.
Because of their special physical body cultivation methods, most of the Corpse Race's members had dark skin. Coupled with the fact that they cultivated the Dao of Death, they appeared even gloomier. Very few of them had the appearance of a pale scholar like Long Fei.
Long Fei looked at the silent Kui Dou. Then, he fanned himself and smiled gently. "Brother Kui Dou, you should not regret not continuing to the Starry Heaven Silver Lake, right?"
Kui Dou was a good friend of Long Fei. The two of them could be said to be bosom buddies. Half a month ago, Kui Dou had temporarily left the Starry Sky Silver Lake due to his injuries. When he heard that a storm was about to descend upon the Starry Sky Silver Lake, he had coincidentally received Long Fei's invitation. Thus, he had come to Dragon Wood Star dubiously.
In the letter, the other party had written a lot about the benefits of occupying a resource star. The benefits were much better than the benefits obtained in the Starry Sky Silver Lake.
At first, he did not believe it. Resource Stars were rare, and every race would send a large number of troops to guard them. How could two Resource Stars be taken down so easily? When Xiao Chen arrived at Dragon Wood Star and saw Long Fei and Wei Hua easily occupy most of the sea region, he completely believed Xiao Chen.
In the past two years, Kui Dou's physical body had become even more powerful. He even showed signs of breaking through to Rank 4 Sage Body. A casual strike of Kui Dou's could reach one thousand five hundred tons of force. When he used his physical body Martial Techniques, he could achieve two thousand five hundred tons of force.
According to legend, the Heaven Dragon that existed during the Immortal Epoch could achieve five thousand tons of force in one strike. That was one Dragon Force. Two thousand five hundred tons of force was half a Dragon Force.
By relying on his strong physical body and half a Dragon Force, although Kui Dou was not as glorious as people like Di Wuque in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake, he still flourished. If he hadn't been injured by a genius of the Asura Race who had just appeared, he wouldn't have had to temporarily retreat.
When Kui Dou heard Long Fei's question, he smiled gently and replied, "There are all sorts of benefits in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake. There are ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs, Spirit Beasts with the bloodlines of living creatures, and all sorts of precious divine materials. However, most of them were obtained by Di Wuque's group. The main thing in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake is combat comprehension.
"If it were just me, the benefits I obtained in this Dragon Wood Star are far greater than in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake. The only thing I lack is demonic geniuses. Fighting with me is somewhat boring."
Wang Can walked over and said, "Brother Kui Dou, there is no need to worry too much. This time, the Bushin Palace has already sent strong reinforcements. I heard that the descendant of the Qing Emperor, Xiao Chen, who disappeared for two years, is among them."
Bai Wuxue and the others had not known that the Haotian Sect would send Xiao Chen to lead the team. Unexpectedly, Wang Can knew. This was very strange.
Kui Dou felt that there was a reason for this. However, this was to be expected. If there was no special reason, how could Long Fei and Wei Hua let the prepared Dragon Wood Star suffer a crushing defeat after taking down two resource stars?
Kui Dou did not care about this. What he cared about was Xiao Chen.
"He came at the right time. After not seeing him for two years, I hope he will not disappoint me," Kui Dou said with a sullen expression. Two years ago, Xiao Chen's punch in the Sage Mark Monument had beaten him up like a dog. Kui Dou would never forget that.
Wei Hua walked over with a cold expression and said, "Don't worry. It would have been fine if he had hidden forever. Now that he has shown himself again, I will let him know that there are some people that he cannot cheat."
Although Kui Dou did not fight with Xiao Chen two years ago, he had cheated him miserably. Although he did not lose much, the news spread everywhere. He had completely lost face.
Kui Dou was the descendant of a bona fide Sovereign Martial Emperor. In this age of geniuses, he would definitely rise up. How could he leave such a stain on his reputation?
The white-faced Long Fei fanned himself with a folding fan. Curiosity stirred in his heart. He said, "You are all outstanding talents, heroes among people. To think that you all fell at this brat's hands. I really want to see how incredible this person is."
"Young Masters, the teams that went to scout have all retreated. The detailed battle reports have already been prepared."
A Corpse Race cultivator outside the hall quickly walked in and handed over a stack of battle reports before kneeling on the ground.
Wei Hua's face lit up in joy. His figure flashed as he stepped forward and picked up the battle reports. He smiled and said, "Good. Let me see how strong the reinforcements are."
Wei Hua took out the first battle report and revealed a disdainful expression. He smiled faintly and said, "Indeed, the Thousand Mystery Sect's Hua Dao and the battle realm's Niu Deng. As I expected, they are somewhat strong. However, they are only so-so."
Wei Hua took out the second battle report, and his disdainful expression vanished. He frowned slightly and said, "This Bai Wuxue is rather problematic. Despite obtaining the Snow Race's inheritance, he actually destroyed a group of Monarch Grade Demonic Corpses and killed ten-odd Medial Grade Martial Sages. He nearly dragged out the leader, Elder Xun."
When Kui Dou heard this, he said, "I fought with this Bai Wuxue in the Starry Heaven Silver Lake. He is indeed a powerful person."
However, Long Fei did not care. He said, "They are just Monarch Grade Demonic Corpses. No matter how many are destroyed, there is no need to feel too much heartache over the losses of Medial Grade Martial Sages. Since Elder Xun managed to return, it is already worth it to test him out."
Wei Hua felt the same way as well. Although Bai Wuxue was a powerful person, he did not feel any fear. He picked up the third battle report with a somewhat gloomy expression.
This report recorded the process of the Black Stone Old Revenant's team probing Azure Monarch Island. After Wei Hua unfolded it, his expression changed drastically with just one look. He exclaimed, "What?! The Black Stone Old Revenant actually died? A team of one hundred could not even delay him for a moment."
Wang Can, Long Fei, and Kui Dou were all startled. They quickly read through the battle reports, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"How bold of him! He dares to block a team of one hundred people from my Corpse Race alone," Long Fei said in rage as he waved the folding fan in his hand.
Wang Can said somewhat worriedly, "This fellow is clearly here to kill Elder Black Stone. He probably let those Inferior Grade Martial Sages go on purpose. He does not care about them at all."
Kui Dou smiled coldly and said, "Good. If he had turned into a worm, it would not be interesting for me to trample on him."
"Whoosh!"
A metal sword pierced through the wall and flashed, flying towards Wei Hua. Wei Hua stretched out his hand and caught it. Then, he slowly revealed a smile on his face. He said, "What a great fellow, Xiao Chen. This is a great help to me. In less than two months, Dragon Wood Star will definitely change hands."
Wang Can quickly asked, "Brother Wei, why are you so happy? What news did that person send?"
Long Fei casually shook his hand and shattered the metal sword into pieces. He said calmly, "This time, Xiao Chen will definitely die. Someone has already thought of a countermeasure for us. Come, let's go and make some preparations first. Then, we will wait for the good news and make our move at any time."
--- Back on Black Monarch Island, Xia Feng, the yellow-robed old man, and Qin Wu — the three upper echelon members of the island — went to Xiao Chen's residence together.
For the past few days, Xiao Chen had remained in seclusion, continuously comprehending and perfecting his Dao. He did not spend all his time on his cultivation.
Right now, his saber Dao was the most important. It had already reached a critical juncture. Every day, a large number of ideas appeared and were quickly rejected.
At the same time, he was waiting for some people to make a move. Today, it had finally arrived.
"Little Friend Xiao Chen, Brother Xia and Brother Xiao have already reflected on what happened in the great hall. This old man will help me set up a connection and get the two of them to apologize to you again. Consider it as no discord, no concord."
After Qin Wu entered, he lowered his status and spoke sincerely to Xiao Chen.
Xia Feng and the yellow-robed old man also had smiles on their faces as they said some seemingly sincere words.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart, but his expression did not change. He looked at Xia Feng and said, "Island Master Xia, you probably did not come here just to apologize, right?"
Xia Feng did not show any anger on his old face. Instead, he said somewhat apologetically, "Little Friend Xiao Chen, you misunderstand. This time, I am indeed here to apologize to Little Friend. At the same time, I also brought a token from Senior Huangpu. I hope that Little Friend Xiao Chen can officially go out and harass the Corpse Race army."
If I continue to pretend, I will expose my whereabouts to the upper echelon of the Corpse Race as soon as I go out. Boundless danger awaits me.
Xiao Chen received the token and casually placed it on the table. He said coldly, "If I am not wrong, Island Master Xia spent a lot of effort to obtain this token from Senior Huangpu, right?"
Xia Feng, who was exposed, was clearly stunned. Although he quickly covered it up, it could not escape Xiao Chen's eyes.
Xiao Chen could not be bothered to say more. He closed his eyes and ignored Xia Feng.
"Humph! How bold of you, Xiao Chen. Now, you even dare to disobey Lord Huangpu Feng's orders. Just you wait. I will definitely report this matter. The Bushin Palace will not let you off so easily. "
