There would come a day when a young eagle would spread its wings and fly to its own world, far away from its parents and kin. From then on, a lone eagle would soar into the sky and soar into the distance.
People would eventually grow up. Everyone had their own different paths. For their dreams, for their future, they would break into their own world. There would always be a day when they would part ways with their family and friends.
Twenty-three to twenty-four years old was the golden age for xiuzhe. They would travel far away from home without any hesitation in order to sharpen themselves and make themselves stronger. They would undergo a two-level transformation of the physical and mental body to achieve self-improvement.
"Perhaps … I will stay in the Shang Dynasty for a long time. Three years ago, during the warbeast tournament in the Celestial City of the South Wasteland, the third princess of the Shang Dynasty had personally graced us with her presence. I was already acquainted with her at that time, but I didn't know she was a princess. When I came to Yindu this time, she invited me to stay a few months. "
Yan Qingcheng was elegant and otherworldly. Her skin was creamy and her eyes were like limpid autumn waters. She said with slight fluctuations of emotion, "I wonder if we will have the chance to meet again in the future."
That's right, everything was hard to say, because the immortal's mainland was too big, and who could guarantee that no accidents would occur on the path of cultivation?
"My first stop is definitely the Great Shang Empire."
Lazio wanted to become a bard and travel the world. He said, "As one of the five hegemons, Great Shang occupies 16% of the land. I think I will be staying in Shang Nation for a very long time."
"Us too."
Aqua, Frosty and Tenvis nodded at the same time.
"I will walk around Great Shang."
The Solitary Sword Demon said. After that, he faced Xiao Chen and said, "Xiao Shishui, it's time for you to leave. The tiger family has a strong tiger in Yindu. There might be trouble if we're late. "
"I already know. When I arrived at the Lunar Pavilion, I heard people talking about it."
Xiao Chen drank a cup by himself. "So what if he's a strong tiger? If he dares to find me, I'm prepared to take his head this time."
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the private room changed.
The Solitary Sword Demon looked at him and didn't say anything.
The expression of the blue-haired handsome man, Lazio, was somewhat grave as he said, "I heard that person might have already stepped into the demigod realm. Even if you have a rare divine ability, if the difference in realm is too great, you won't be able to defeat him. I'm afraid it would be extremely difficult for him to be a match for that person. "
Yu Wenfeng nodded. "Let's retreat for now. The Hu Clan's people are very vicious. Xiao Chen from three years ago is a good example. "
Hearing the name Xiao Chen, Yan Qingcheng felt a little unnatural. She recalled some past events again.
"Don't worry, the Solitary Sword Demon and I should be enough."
"The two of you are working together?"
Everyone present was very surprised. Even the Solitary Sword Demon himself was stunned. He did not expect Xiao Chen to say that.
"What? This is all the trouble you've caused me. How can you just brush it off like that? "
Xiao Chen looked at the Solitary Sword Demon with a smile.
"Alright, I won't leave Yindu for a month."
The Solitary Sword Demon didn't hesitate and agreed.
Yu Wenfeng and the others also opened their mouths and asked, "Do you need help?"
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "The two of us should be enough."
"Anyway, we're not in a hurry. We won't be leaving anytime soon anyway. Killing a Demigod before we leave can be considered a good story."
Lazio said.
Xiao Chen said, "You all have your own factions, unlike me and the Solitary Sword Demon. They were all alone. Once the matter is settled, we will leave without a trace. Invincible for a thousand miles. "
"Hehe. No matter, let's talk about it when the time comes. "
Because of this matter. The sadness of parting was washed away in an instant.
All good things must come to an end. In the end, everyone was a little tipsy. Even the two beauties, Yan Qingcheng and Frosty, were glowing. Their big watery eyes looked as if there were ripples flowing in their eyes, as if there was mist lingering around them.
The time to part had arrived. However, the moment everyone pushed open the door, they were stunned when they walked out of the private room. The stairs leading downstairs were filled with people. Bosch, Chen Hangjin, Yin Feng, and the others had already been waiting for a long time.
So much so that Xiao Chen even saw Chushkuang at the back of the crowd. It was precisely that outstanding youth who possessed the rare divine ability, Destiny Twins. And beside him, there was a handsome youth whose strength could not be seen through. He was standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Brother Xiao, take care, let's have a chat over here."
Bosch walked over.
"Brother Solitary, it is fate that brought us together, this way please."
Chen Hangjin walked over.
"Miss Qingcheng, Lady Frosty, you are truly an immortal. Please have a seat over here."
Yin Feng also greeted them warmly.
A group of people surrounded them. It was obvious that they wanted to make Xiao Chen stay.
"Hehe … …"
Chushkuang laughed wildly as he squeezed forward together with Yanzhangkong. Other than a few royal families, the other aristocratic families couldn't help but make way for them. Yindu's Four Heroes were famous in the imperial capital, who wouldn't be afraid of them? "No discord, no concord. Come to my residence and have a seat."
Chushkuang was calm and collected. He did not feel the slightest shame of losing.
"Sure, but not today."
Xiao Chen refused tactfully.
Yanzhangkong looked at Xiao Chen, then looked at the Solitary Sword Demon. His eyes emitted two sharp glints, but in the end, he did not say anything and only nodded. On the contrary, he was very interested in the two beauties, Yan Qingcheng and Frosty. He actually prepared a gift and ordered someone to deliver it over.
"Brother Xiao … …"
Just at this time, a person squeezed forward and even passed by Chushkuang and Yanzhangkong.
"It's you."
A cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He had already recognized this person. This was the Third Princess' Vice Commander, Yu Tong. That night, he had led people to block him in the air. At that time, he had been very arrogant and despotic.
"Brother Xiao, please forgive me."
Yu Tong bowed awkwardly and said, "I hope Brother Xiao can forgive me and forget the unhappiness of the past. This time, I am acting on the orders of the third princess to invite Brother Xiao and Brother Dugu. "
The Solitary Sword Demon was very silent. He didn't say anything from start to finish.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "We still have things to do. Maybe another day. "
When the Vice Commander heard this, he became anxious and nearly knelt down. He said, "Brother Xiao, I was wrong. I was too rude three days ago. I'm here to apologize to you. Please help me, or else the Third Princess will kill me. The Third Princess has invited all of you here for a simple gathering. There is no other meaning. "
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not budge, Yu Tong lowered his voice. He said, "Third Princess has already made that strong tiger retreat. I know that Brother Xiao can deal with it by himself, but this is, after all, a token of the Princess's sincerity. So please Brother Xiao … "
This news made Xiao Chen very surprised. In the end, he nodded and said, "Alright."
"Brother Dugu …"
After that, Yu Tong walked in front of the Solitary Sword Demon and whispered a few words.
"Hmph, I don't need any sword manual!"
The Solitary Sword Demon snorted coldly.
"Not a sword manual, but …"
Yu Tong explained hurriedly.
"Alright."
It was out of everyone's expectation. The Solitary Sword Demon actually nodded and agreed.
It was very obvious that Yu Tong was already prepared. Next, Lazio, Windfeathers, and the others also agreed.
The group of Yindu's aristocratic descendants were dumbstruck. This … the Third Princess was really good. She actually caught them all in one fell swoop and invited everyone away.
As a matter of fact, the ones that they paid the most attention to were Xiao Chen and the Solitary Sword Demon. As for inviting Windfeathers and the others, it was just to rope these two in. Of course, it was another matter if they were interested in Yan Qingcheng's beauty or Frosty's beauty.
Even if it was just a courtyard, it was still grand and imposing. The residence of the Shang Dynasty's Third Princess. How could it not be particular?
Walking on the small cobblestone path, they passed through the pavilions and pavilions. After crossing a small bridge and crossing a stone arch bridge, Xiao Chen and the others arrived at the bank of a lotus pond. Following the meandering corridor that was level with the lake surface, Xiao Chen and the others entered a pavilion on the surface of the lake.
A woman dressed in white was sitting alone in front of the zither platform. Although her face was covered by a veil, one could guess from her slender and graceful figure and her bright eyes that she was definitely a very alluring woman. Moreover, it was very likely that she was a calamitous woman who could topple the nation.
Xiao Chen and the Solitary Sword Demon didn't have any intention to greet her. The Third Princess didn't mind either. She invited them to sit down with a smile, and even more affectionately invited Yan Qingcheng to her side.
"I once wanted to recruit everyone as my friends, but I changed my mind. Everyone here is a talented person, how could you be willing to serve others? I, Yinying, am willing to make friends with everyone."
"Princess is too polite. It is our honor to be able to make friends with the princess."
The blue-haired handsome man, Lazio, laughed. His handsome face, which could make ordinary girls go crazy, was filled with a calm expression. He came from a big family in the Southern Wasteland, so he was very familiar with this kind of retreating in order to advance.
"Hehe, young master Lazio is indeed extraordinary. If you pay a visit to all the major families in Yindu, I'm afraid many of the beauties in Yindu will raise their standards for choosing a spouse by a few levels."
The third princess smiled faintly and said, "I have a piece of news that young master Lazio is particularly concerned about. The genius fairy Lan Nuo once appeared in our Shang Dynasty. I have already invited the person who knows about it. If young master Lazio wants to know more, you can go ahead and ask him."
"Thank you very much!"
Lazio expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. He left under the lead of a little girl. Even Xiao Chen was moved. If it wasn't because of his status, he would also want to follow along and inquire.
"Windfeathers is a hero among men. Although he suffered a crushing defeat in Yindu, please believe that the men of Yindu have no ill intentions. It's just that their way of doing things is a little rough, I hope you can forgive them. I know your talent is outstanding. Very few people can compare to you, and you even practice the Demon Art of Myriad Beasts. That is the cultivation method of the demon monarch who once ruled over the world. What you lack is only a powerful beast soul. If you have the help of the best quality beast soul, I'm afraid you can already defeat everyone in the younger generation. I happen to have a rare beast soul in my mansion. Don't refuse, you can go and take a look first. Who knows, you might be able to reap some harvest. "
Windfeathers bowed deeply and left.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh. This third princess was really good at playing tricks.
The third princess chuckled and said to Tenvis, "I know you came from the Firecloud Temple in the Western Border. Not long ago, someone gifted me a treasure. Reportedly, it was a divine pearl from the Firecloud Temple."
Tenvis stood up abruptly and said with a trembling voice, "Is it the Firecloud Divine Pearl?"
"It seems so, you can go and take a look yourself."
Tenvis also bowed deeply and left in a hurry.
"Sister Frosty, I have a few stalks of Beauty Jade Ganoderma here. It can keep you young forever."
"Ah? Really? "
A hint of envy immediately appeared on Frosty's pretty face.
"Of course it's true. Come, sit beside big sister. I will give you and big sister Qingcheng three stalks each. "
Frosty leisurely walked towards the third princess with a smile on her face.
Aqua wrinkled his brows slightly. He wanted to reprimand his sister, but he couldn't say it in front of so many people. This girl … she was bought over with just three stalks of Beauty Jade Ganoderma. This really … made him feel very speechless.
"Brother Aqua, I have the complete Water Breaking Divine Art here …"
"Really?"
Aqua no longer reprimanded his sister. He quickly left with a palace maid.
The third princess looked at Xiao Chen with a smile. Then she looked at the Solitary Sword Demon. She sighed, "Both of you are outstanding people, your future prospects are limitless. I really want to make you stay and work for me, but I know your ambition is not in the secular world. Sigh, it's really a pity. "
Both of them didn't say anything. "Three years ago, I once went to the Celestial City and asked someone if he was willing to follow me to the north. If he is willing to follow me to the north, I can give him great riches and honor. Looking at you two, I vaguely recalled the way he refused without the slightest hesitation. What a pity for a young expert with a lot of potential. I think if he was still alive, he might not be any worse than you two … "
Speaking until here, the third princess was a little rueful.
The Solitary Sword Demon remained silent. Xiao Chen had a different feeling in his heart. He was already certain that the third princess was the descendant of the deity, the master of Goldie. The events from three years ago flashed past his mind.
Yan Qingcheng had obviously guessed who the third princess was talking about. She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
"Many thanks to the princess for stopping that strong tiger for me out of goodwill."
Xiao Chen cupped his hands. "No need to thank me.
I just don't want … the tragedy from three years ago to repeat itself. Personally, I hate a certain family. "
The third princess heaved a sigh.
Xiao Chen had no choice but to admit, perhaps the third princess was sincere, or perhaps her methods were extremely brilliant. With just a few simple words, he already didn't feel any estrangement. His favorable impression of her had increased by a large margin.
Of course, this definitely had nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman. This was only the appreciation of a person's ability.
With a flash of golden light, the descendant of the deity, Goldie appeared in the pavilion on the lake as if it had traveled through space. It circled around Xiao Chen three times, then it scratched its ears and cheeks. It revealed a doubtful expression, its appearance was a little comical. Xiao Chen shivered, he made himself as calm as an ancient well and withdrew all of his aura.
"Hehe … …"
Seeing its appearance, the third princess laughed and said, "Goldie, come here … …"
With a whoosh, Goldie appeared in front of the third princess. It received a Purple-Gold Ginseng King from the third princess and started to chew on it.
Xiao Chen was speechless. No wonder Goldie not only managed to cultivate the Undying Nine Lives Body back, but its cultivation was even more terrifying. It turned out that the third princess fed it this kind of spiritual food every day. It was not inferior to Keke's snacks.
Looking at Goldie, he really missed Keke a little. He hoped the little critter would return soon.
"Xiao Chen, even though I already sent someone to warn that strong tiger, you still have to be more careful. After all, this family never had any misgivings when doing things. You need to be cautious."
"Many thanks, I understand."
Xiao Chen nodded his head.
"Brother Dugu, I know that practicing the sword is your everything."
The third princess said with a smile, "I know you don't care about any sword techniques at all. That's why I specially searched for the three volumes of sword intent left behind by Zhang Sanfeng."
Hearing that it was left behind by Zhang Sanfeng, not only was the Dugu Jianmo moved, even Xiao Chen was moved.
"It's three stonemen, every stoneman has three sword scars."
The third princess clapped her hands. Two warriors carefully moved one of the stonemen into the pavilion.
The stoneman revealed the traces of time. It was obvious that it had experienced countless hardships.
There were three sword scars on its head, chest, and legs. The Dugu Jianmo was immediately attracted. He walked over with large strides.
"Hehe … …"
Back then, a swordsman spent thirty years facing a stoneman. That's why I only moved one stoneman here today. If brother Dugu wants to see the other two, you can go and see them at any time.
The Dugu Jianmo no longer paid attention to the outsiders. He started to observe by himself.
Xiao Chen knew that the Dugu Jianmo was also tied up here. The third princess really had a good trick.
The third princess smiled gently. After that, she turned her head around to face Xiao Chen and said, "Brother Xiao, are you training your heart in the secular world right now?"
"Yes."
"My teacher once told me that training your heart in the secular world, if a man doesn't go to the battlefield, then his life will never be complete. As a man, if he didn't charge into the battlefield, it would be a lifetime of regret. "
"Training your heart is not limited to the battlefield. Regret … … Life is always full of regrets, no one can avoid it. I don't need to deliberately pave the way for my path, I only need to move forward unswervingly. "
Although he said it like that, Xiao Chen had no choice but to admit that charging into the battlefield was definitely the dream of every man. He felt that he might really have to go to the battlefield next, but he didn't want to arrange it through the hands of the third princess.
Xiao Chen left the princess' courtyard alone. The others were all left behind by the Shang Dynasty's third princess, Yin Ying. And because he owed her a big favor, it was impossible for him to leave immediately.
Just at this time, someone quickly ran over and said, "Young master, someone asked me to deliver a letter to you."
Xiao Chen opened the letter, there was only one sentence on it: The moment you leave Yindu is the moment you lose your life.
The inscription was the image of a tiger.
Xiao Chen laughed heartily, then his expression turned cold. He said to the messenger, "Tell him, don't wait outside of Yindu. I will definitely chop off his head within ten days!"
A similar scene appeared again, but Xiao Chen was no longer the Xiao Chen from before. At worst, he would just retreat far away, change his appearance, and hide in the vast sea of people.
