Qin Xiao had a solitary courage, but he also had an unparalleled brilliance.
Wasn't cultivation just like that?
Although Bai Shan and the other two felt a little helpless, they couldn't help but admire Qin Xiao's spirit after thinking about it.
Yes, perhaps this was one of the reasons why Qin Xiao could be so monstrous and heaven-defying.
If he followed the rules, if he was like others, if he went with the flow, wouldn't that make him seem too ordinary?
Which one of those monstrous and heaven-defying people was ordinary? Which one of them didn't walk the unconventional path and amaze others along the way?
The things that they couldn't understand showed that this was the path that Qin Xiao should take. This was the real Qin Xiao, this was the heaven-defying part of Qin Xiao.
If they could understand, they wouldn't be as mediocre as them.
At least, compared to Qin Xiao, they were indeed mediocre.
Rumble!
Qin Xiao and the other two suddenly looked surprised. Waves of powerful Immortal Aura descended, majestic and mighty, as if they were going to flatten this place.
All of them were Fourth Step Heavenly Venerables.
Heavenly Venerables had arrived, and there were a lot of them.
One by one, figures descended on the sky above Qin Xiao's place of cultivation. There were a total of seventeen of them.
The seventeen of them formed a big circle, surrounding Qin Xiao's place of cultivation. They were like seventeen blazing suns in the sky, shining brilliantly.
His immortal might was vast and mighty. Clearly, he was intentionally pressuring Qin Xiao. Clearly, he was targeting Qin Xiao. He didn't even bother to hide the fact that he was targeting him.
These seventeen people were none other than the seventeen geniuses. Apart from the sky-prides, all the other geniuses were here.
These people came with strong hostility, targeting Qin Xiao. Obviously, they were ordered to do so by the sky-prides.
The power of a genius was indeed frighteningly powerful. All the other geniuses would follow his lead and obey his orders.
Bai Shan and the other two were already worried about this matter. They didn't expect that all the geniuses would come knocking on their door so quickly. The three of them instantly broke out in cold sweat.
Under such pressure, they felt very uncomfortable.
However, in front of the geniuses, they were indeed very weak. Therefore, they did not dare to make any moves. They could only sit there stiffly and watch the development of the situation.
Qin Xiao abruptly stood up and swept her gaze across the 17 geniuses as a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
This show of strength came really quickly.
But since he was already here, he would deal with it as it came. Qin Xiao was already prepared to deal with it.
His refusal to participate in the Welcoming Event also gave the geniuses an excuse. In fact, how could Qin Xiao not know that the so-called Welcoming Event was just a warning to him. It was definitely not a good thing.
Of course, they wanted to force him to submit to the prodigy. In the future, he would listen to the prodigy's orders and join their team.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Xiao was so determined to refuse to meet the Chosen One.
This way, he could take the initiative from being passive. Since nothing good would come out of it, why not make himself look stronger?
"Senior Brothers, did you all make an appointment together? What wind blew you all to my run-down temple? Why didn't you inform your Junior Brother in advance so that I could prepare some wine to entertain you Senior Brothers? "
"Since you've come so directly, forgive me for not entertaining you."
Since the other party was being so impolite, Qin Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite either. He directly said that he wanted to drive them away.
"Hmph, Qin Xiao, don't pretend to be ignorant here. What great immortal might you have. Are you really going to look down on everyone? "One of the geniuses pointed at Qin Xiao's nose and scolded angrily.
Qin Xiao knew this genius. He was Hao Guilong of the Haochu Tribe, who was also Hao Guixuan's elder brother.
Today's meeting was a bit like a meeting between enemies. Although the Haochu Tribe had previously chosen to show weakness and appease Hao Guixuan's matter.
However, as a genius, Hao Guilong had always been brooding over this matter. As a proud son of heaven, how prideful was he? Now that he had the opportunity to step on Qin Xiao, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
This time, he wasn't just representing himself, but all of the geniuses. He was acting on behalf of all the geniuses, so he could step on Qin Xiao without any worries.
In fact, he even hoped that Qin Xiao would resist, and the more he resisted, the better.
The more the matter blew up, the more he believed Qin Xiao would suffer. With the geniuses supporting him, what was there to be afraid of? Even the Palace Lord wouldn't ask too much.
Qin Xiao chuckled coldly and said, "Hao Guilong, if you want to compare immortal might, then I, Qin Xiao, am no match for you, senior brothers.
"Senior Brothers, you came uninvited and used your immortal might to oppress me. What's the meaning of this?
"Is this a show of strength, or is this a greeting gift? Haven't you heard of the saying that if you want to gain respect from others, you have to give them respect first? You didn't give me any respect, so why should I respect you?
"If you don't offend me, I won't offend you either. You've already come to my door to bully me. Do you think I, Qin Xiao, should welcome you with a smile and let you bully me?
"If that's what you're thinking, then I'm sorry, but I, Qin Xiao, will have to disappoint you today.
"You're all acting on the orders of the geniuses. You're just lackeys. To put it bluntly, you're just lackeys. If the geniuses want to show me their might, why don't they show themselves? "
"Arrogant!"
"How dare you!"
"Humph, why should the geniuses show up for such a trivial matter? Who do you think Qin Xiao is? You think too highly of yourself, don't you think? "
"You're so young, but you dare to speak so arrogantly. You're really arrogant. In that case, today's rule must be established. I must let you, Qin Xiao, clearly understand what rules are. "
"That's right. You've just become a genius, but you're already looking down on us. If we let you go on like this, won't you look down on us even more in the future? As a newcomer, I should take care of you properly and dampen your spirit. "
Hao Guilong's smile became even more sinister when he saw that Qin Xiao had provoked the crowd. This was the effect he wanted to see.
He wasn't afraid of Qin Xiao acting arrogantly. He was only afraid that Qin Xiao wouldn't dare to act arrogantly. If Qin Xiao dared to act arrogantly, then he would ruthlessly trample on Qin Xiao today. It would be considered as helping the Haochu Family vent their anger.
The Haochu Clan's reputation in Linfu City had suffered a huge blow due to the incident where they had to offer a humble apology for their crimes.
Some people even privately said that the Haochu Family was no longer worthy of being one of the top ten factions in Linfu City.
This was a great humiliation to the Haochu Family. Hao Guilong was furious.
He couldn't accept the Haochu Family's compromise. Today was a very good opportunity for him.
Qin Xiao naturally knew why these geniuses had come. They wanted to teach him a lesson and establish their might. They wanted to gain some prestige from him.
However, how could Qin Xiao let them do as they wished?
Qin Xiao's eyes flashed coldly. He swept his gaze across the crowd of geniuses and said, "What's wrong? Don't tell me you dare to disregard the immortal rules and attack me here? "
"Attack you? Hmph, you really think too highly of yourself. There are so many of us here. Who do you think you are? It'll be a piece of cake for us to beat you up. "
"That's right. Do we need to attack you? You're too naive. "
"The immortal rules won't make things easy for geniuses. Don't think you can rely on the immortal rules to be a coward."
"Don't worry, we won't attack you. We just want to have a good talk with you. Of course, if you don't know what's good for you, you'll provoke the prodigy to attack you personally. When that time comes, hmph, you'll know how to spell the word 'death'. "
"Junior brother Qin Xiao, I advise you not to be too arrogant. Don't try to challenge the prodigy's supreme dignity. You can't afford to do so. Otherwise, you'll only regret it. "
Hao Guilong laughed mockingly and said, "Qin Xiao, the prodigy has given you two choices. Listen carefully."
"The first is to come with us immediately and apologize to the prodigy. You'll also submit to him and join our team. From now on, we'll be on the same side."
"Impossible!" Qin Xiao's cold voice rang out as soon as Hao Guilong finished speaking. It was incomparably firm, and there was no room for doubt.
There was no need to think about it. Qin Xiao had already made his decision.
How was it possible for him to submit to a prodigy? It was impossible. He didn't even need to think about it.
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I, Qin Xiao, disdain to be on the same team as you," Qin Xiao said again.
"You …"
"How dare you!"
"You're looking for trouble, aren't you?"
However, Qin Xiao's words had obviously angered the crowd.
However, Qin Xiao didn't care at all. So what if they were angry? It didn't matter. He didn't want to have anything to do with these people anyway. It didn't matter.
Qin Xiao would treat people he could get along with with respect, even if they were ordinary mortals.
As for people he couldn't get along with, even if they were Ancient Saints, Qin Xiao wouldn't be on the same team as them.
So what if they were prodigies?
Qin Xiao could even refuse an Ancient Saint like the Master of the Peach Blossom Valley. So what if they were prodigies?
"Humph, Qin Xiao, you really don't know what's good for you," Hao Guilong said sinisterly. In fact, he hoped that Qin Xiao would say that.
In that case, it would be tantamount to openly defying a prodigy, opposing a prodigy, and making an enemy out of a prodigy.
Those who made an enemy out of a prodigy didn't have a good ending. He believed that Qin Xiao wouldn't be an exception.
A prodigy's immortal aura wouldn't allow anyone to challenge him. If Qin Xiao wanted to challenge him now, he believed that he wouldn't have a good ending.
He might not be able to control Qin Xiao, but he could make good use of this opportunity. It would be much easier if he borrowed the prodigy's power.
As long as a prodigy wanted to do something, there was nothing he couldn't do. The more arrogant and condescending Qin Xiao was, the more he would anger the prodigy.
Before the start of the disciple competition, the prodigy had already given him a warning. How dare he act so untactfully? Wasn't he courting death?
Hao Guilong continued, "Since you don't want to choose the first option, you can choose the second option."
"The second option, as a punishment for not participating in the welcoming ceremony, the prodigy orders you to go to the Boundless Zone and get a jug of Boundless Water. You have ten million years to complete it."
"Ten million years is enough for the prodigy to be lenient with you. Originally, I thought that you would have three million years at most. "
"However, since the prodigy is so lenient, we will also act."
"What? Boundless Zone? "
Hearing Hao Guilong's words, Bai Shan couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Fairy Zijing and Tie Yulong were also nervous. They looked at Qin Xiao angrily and worriedly.
Boundless Zone?
Qin Xiao frowned. He had some impression of this secret territory. It seemed to be one of the top secret territories in the Southern Wasteland.
Qin Xiao was unfamiliar with the Boundless Water. He didn't know what it was.
