(Every year, there were two nights when the sound of cannons shook the sky. One was Christmas Eve, and the other was the Lantern Festival.)
Chen Zong and Xia Zhenghua didn't go to places like restaurants. Instead, they shuttled through small alleys in a very secretive manner, making it difficult for others to track them.
Finally, Chen Zong followed Xia Zhenghua into a very secret basement.
"Please take a seat." Xia Zhenghua smiled.
The basement was quite spacious, but the layout was relatively simple. Lamps were burning on the walls, illuminating the room.
"This is a secret location of my Extreme Heaven Association. We rarely enter it, so no one knows about it except for our members." Aurora Sword Xia Zhenghua smiled.
"Senior, I'm not a member of the Extreme Heaven Association." Chen Zong was slightly surprised at first, but he soon said with a joking tone.
"Before this, you saved Qin Hao's life from the Skyscraper Society's people. Not long ago, you killed the Void Killer King. Although you're not a member of the Extreme Heaven Society, you're their benefactor." Xia Zhenghua smiled.
Chen Zong wasn't surprised. It wasn't difficult for the Extreme Heaven Association to investigate this matter with its ability. Not to mention, Qin Hao would definitely talk about it after he returned.
It was obvious that the Extreme Heaven Association was different from the Skyscraper Association. Perhaps they weren't two extremes in their actions, but they were completely different.
"Today, Senior saved my life." Chen Zong said with a serious expression.
"I didn't do it just to save you. In addition, I happened to have something to ask of you." Xia Zhenghua smiled and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Chen Zong. He then said in a neither fast nor slow manner, "How much do you know about my Extreme Heaven Association, Little Brother?"
"Not much, I only heard a little from Qin Hao." Chen Zong replied.
"The Extreme Heaven Association was established a thousand years ago, a few hundred years later than the Skyscraper Association." Aurora Sword Xia Zhenghua took a sip of the fragrant tea and said in a neither fast nor slow manner, "The original purpose of the Extreme Heaven Association was to fight against the Skyscraper Association."
"Could it be that the founder of the Extreme Heaven Association has a grudge against the Skyscraper Association?" Chen Zong could only guess.
If there was no enmity between them, why would they create an organization that could go against the Skyscraper Association?
Xia Zhenghua didn't answer Chen Zong's question directly. In fact, there was no need to answer because the answer was obvious.
"In the beginning, our Extreme Celestial Association had to flee from the claws of the Skyscraper Association. It was very difficult for us to develop and there were several times when we were almost eliminated by the Skyscraper Association. Xia Zhenghua said. He had never experienced anything like this before. He had only joined the Extreme Heaven Association a few decades ago. When he joined, the Extreme Heaven Association was already very powerful.
"Later, under the leadership of the Society Leader, we avoided the pursuit of the Skyscraper Society and gradually developed. Today, although we still can't compare to the Skyscraper Society, the gap isn't too big," Xia Zhenghua said with a smile.
Chen Zong didn't say anything. He just listened quietly.
This was also an opportunity to learn more about the Polar Heaven Association.
"The Skyscraper Association's headquarters is very mysterious. Even now, no one knows where it is. The Skyscraper Association's headquarters is also very well hidden. The Skyscraper Association has tried many times to directly attack its headquarters and eliminate it in one fell swoop, but they have never been able to find it," Xia Zhenghua's tone was filled with pride.
The Skyscraper Association's prestige was so great that many great forces in Bright Sword Continent didn't dare to become enemies with it. Only the Extreme Heaven Association dared.
The Extreme Heaven Association not only dared to fight against the Skyscraper Association, but also dared to kill its members. Not just one or two, but as long as they had the opportunity, they would kill them.
Since the establishment of the Extreme Heaven Association a thousand years ago, the number of Skyscraper Association members they had killed numbered in the thousands, but at the same time, the number of Skyscraper Association members who died at their hands was even greater.
Xia Zhenghua introduced the Extreme Heaven Association one by one. He also talked about the bloody battle between the Extreme Heaven Association and the Skyscraper Association when it was first established. This was also the first battle of the Extreme Heaven Association, which was recorded in the ancient records of the Extreme Heaven Association as the 'Heaven Breaking Battle'.
In that battle, the Extreme Heaven Association killed a hundred Transcendent Realm experts of the Skyscraper Association without paying a heavy price.
Chen Zong listened quietly to Xia Zhenghua's narration. From Xia Zhenghua's words, Chen Zong could hear the pride and sorrow in them.
"I know that Little Brother is the number one genius of the Extreme Yuan Heavenly Sect. The Extreme Yuan Heavenly Sect is much more powerful than the Extreme Heaven Association and even the Skyscraper Association." Xia Zhenghua said sincerely, "However, in the Bright Sword Continent, the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect is very far from the Bright Sword Continent. There are also Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists in the Motian Association. Hence, if you continue to stay in the Bright Sword Continent, the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect alone will not be enough to deter you."
Chen Zong couldn't help but nod. From what he had heard and seen with his own eyes, he could see that the Skyscraper Association was indeed unscrupulous.
"If you don't mind, Little Brother, you might as well consider joining my Extreme Heaven Association." Xia Zhenghua revealed his real purpose of looking for Chen Zong. "Our Extreme Heaven Association is hostile to the Skyscraper Association. The members of the Extreme Heaven Association often have conflicts with the Skyscraper Association. If you become a member of the Extreme Heaven Association, you will be able to better resist the Skyscraper Association in Bright Sword Continent."
"I am a disciple of the Extreme Yuan Heavenly Sect. It is impossible for me to leave the Extreme Yuan Heavenly Sect," Chen Zong said.
"Don't worry. The Extreme Heaven Association is different from other forces. It doesn't require you to leave your original Sect. Moreover, after becoming a member of the Extreme Heaven Association, you will receive all kinds of resources from the Extreme Heaven Association and better cultivation." Xia Zhenghua said seriously, "The Extreme Heaven Association has been developing for a thousand years. Although its foundation can't be compared to a top force like the Extreme Yuan Heavenly Sect, it is unique in the Sword Dao."
After saying that, Xia Zhenghua paused for a moment as if he was thinking about something. He hesitated for a moment, but soon after, as if he had made a decision, his eyes became firm and he said again, "By the way, have you heard of the Tongtian Jiandi?"
"I have. Two thousand years ago, the strongest person in the Bright Sword Continent swept across the Blue Waves Continent with his powerful strength. He defeated many titled Emperors with his sword. There was a faint feeling that he was the strongest titled Emperor of his generation." Chen Zong's eyes lit up and he quickly replied.
"It seems that Little Brother knows a lot about the Tongtian Jiandi." Xia Zhenghua suddenly smiled. "Then, Little Brother should also know about the Heavenly Sword Sect, right?"
Chen Zong nodded, but he was cursing in his heart. Not only did he know about the Tongtian Jiandi, but he also knew about the Tongtian Jiandi. He had even seen the Tongtian Jiandi with his own eyes. Although he wasn't a real person, he was still a consciousness incarnation left behind by the Tongtian Jiandi. Furthermore, he had received the Tongtian Sword Dao inheritance.
It could be said that other than the three disciples of the Tongtian Jiandi, there shouldn't be anyone who was so close to the Tongtian Jiandi.
But Chen Zong wouldn't say this. Firstly, others might not believe him. Secondly, it was a secret.
"I know," Chen Zong replied.
"The leader of our Extreme Heaven Association was once a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect," Xia Zhenghua said solemnly.
This made Chen Zong take it seriously.
If this was true, then perhaps he could find out about the Heavenly Sword Sect through the leader of the Extreme Heaven Association and fulfill one of the wishes of the Tongtian Jiandi senior.
Almost instantly, Chen Zong made his decision. And this decision made Aurora Sword Xia Zhenghua overjoyed.
A prodigy like Chen Zong was extremely talented and stood at the top of his generation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach such a high level of attainment in the Sword Dao at such a young age. Not only that, but his cultivation talent was also shocking. He was actually at the early stage of the Extreme Eighth Stage of the Mortal Realm.
What was even more shocking was that his strength had already reached the King-Ranked level. Furthermore, he was able to kill the Skyscraper Association's Illusionary Killer King. This wasn't something an ordinary King-Ranked martial artist could do.
Xia Zhenghua admitted that even when he hadn't broken through to the Earthly Spirit Realm, he wasn't a match for the Illusionary Killer King, let alone kill him.
Such a person couldn't be described as a prodigy anymore. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a peerless prodigy.
If such a person could join the Extreme Heaven Association and become a member, he would definitely become a pillar of the association in the future and kill even more people from the Skyscraper Association.
Now that Chen Zong had agreed, Xia Zhenghua was naturally very excited. He was even more excited than when he had broken through to the Earthly Spirit Realm.
"Good, good, good. Brother, you won't regret joining the Extreme Heaven Association." Xia Zhenghua smiled. "Now, I'll take you to one of the Extreme Heaven Association's branches."
This secret room in White Sword City was actually a place that the Extreme Heaven Association had set up to hide their members. This was to prevent them from being discovered and killed by the Skyscraper Association.
However, the branch wasn't located in the city. It was even more discreet and secretive.
When Xia Zhenghua brought Chen Zong to the branch, it wasn't the middle of the night. Although the darkness of the night was no different from daytime to experts, the difference between night and day had existed since ancient times.
Psychologically speaking, it was a habit to choose to carry out covert operations at night.
Because it was too secretive, it wasn't suitable to be exposed in broad daylight.
However, Xia Zhenghua did the opposite. He only disguised himself so that even those who were familiar with him wouldn't be able to recognize him. It was a better disguise.
After disguising himself, Xia Zhenghua turned into a stooped old man with white hair. The wrinkles on his face resembled dried tree bark. His eyes were cloudy and he walked with a crooked cane. His steps were steady but not fast.
After disguising himself, Chen Zong turned into a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He was the kind that would be difficult to distinguish in a crowd. He supported the old man and walked out of the city step by step.
The two were playing the role of father and son. The old man's aura was very light and ordinary. He could only be regarded as an old man who had once cultivated but hadn't achieved much. On the other hand, the middle-aged man's aura fluctuations indicated that he was in the True Martial Realm. In such a place, the True Martial Realm was very common.
Normally, it wouldn't be easy to attract the attention of others. After all, the location of the Extreme Heaven Association's branch was very secretive. The most important thing was that the Skyscraper Association couldn't find out about it. Otherwise, the Skyscraper Association's experts would launch a surprise attack and suffer heavy losses.
Following the flow of people, Chen Zong and Xia Zhenghua walked out of White Sword City in disguise. They didn't attract any attention and walked forward along the broad road. When there was no one around, they used their movement skills and quickly entered the mountain forest.
Their movements were very secretive and undetectable. Even the secret guards of the White Sword City's City Lord didn't know.
