"What? Grand Elder? "
Even though he was severely injured, Wen Tianhe was still shocked when he heard the voice.
Kong Shengjie!
He was the most powerful cultivator in the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground. He was known as the Demigod of the Demigods. Even if he was not the most powerful cultivator under the Immortal State, he was definitely in the top five!
Even though they were both elders …
But Wen Tianhe and Sky Saint Hero could be said to be in heaven and earth!
Putting everything else aside …
Just the difference in strength was like the bright moon and a firefly. It was almost impossible to measure with words.
"Why is the Grand Elder here at Cheng Luo River? Who is this Fellow Daoist Chen Xiao he mentioned? "
Wen Tianhe was confused.
However, he still struggled to get up and shouted with all his might. "Grand Elder, this kid is too arrogant. Please lend me a hand and capture this kid …"
Before he could finish his sentence.
Chen Xiao stepped forward and said calmly, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Are you Chen Xiao?"
The misty light in the air dissipated. A middle-aged man in gray clothes with an ordinary face turned around with his hands behind his back.
Strangely …
Although the middle-aged man's eyes were tightly shut, almost everyone could clearly feel the divine light sweeping over their bodies!
Chen Xiao raised his brows, and a strange look flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He could feel a … transcendent aura from Kong Shengjie!
It was not the usual arrogance of the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground, nor was it the overbearing aura of a cultivator of the Spiritual Martial Sacred Ground. It was a true transcendent aura that ignored everything else and only focused on pursuing Dao!
Looking at the memories of Chen Xiao's previous life, such an existence was extremely rare.
One had to know …
All living beings, be it humans or demons, would have desires.
Even Chen Xiao was the same.
If he did not have desires, he would not have given up everything in his previous life and used the power of Heavenly Retribution to forcefully open the tunnel and return to his youth.
However, Chen Xiao could not feel any desire from Kong Shengjie.
Or rather …
The Great Elder of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground only had one desire, and that was to seek Dao!
"I didn't expect to meet a cultivator in a place like this."
Chen Xiao's eyes flickered as he smiled and cupped his hands together. "Fellow Daoist Kong, it's me."
Wen Tianhe's figure froze on the spot.
Astonishment!
Dumbfounded!
Fear!
This scene was too unexpected. Even Gu Qiuyun's companions were dumbstruck, and they seemed to have transformed into clay statues or wooden sculptures. It was even to the extent that they'd even tossed Gu Qiuyun's death to the back of their minds!
"Fellow Daoist Chen Xiao?"
"That person is the Great Elder of the Nine Heavens Holy Ground, and he actually called him … fellow cultivator?"
Everyone was shocked to the extreme.
At the Sky Saint Hero's level, almost no one in the world could control their will.
If he wasn't willing …
It was absolutely impossible for him to call a youth a fellow Daoist!
The only possibility was that the white-robed young man had been acknowledged by Kong Shengjie, and was now his fellow Daoist!
Meanwhile, Kong Shengjie nodded and waved his hand. A glamorous invitation flew out and landed in Chen Xiao's hand.
"Fellow Daoist, please accompany me to the Sacred Ground!"
Kong Shengjie spoke in a calm tone. His tone did not show the slightest hint of emotion.
The crowd was astounded once again!
Even Situ Ling's heart skipped a beat. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Even in the entire Shenwu Continent, there were probably not many people who could enjoy such a grand treatment when personally invited by such a sect guardian!
"Very well."
Chen Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Just as he was about to step forward, Wen Tianhe shouted, "Great Elder! Is there a mistake? How could a mere youth be worthy of such a … "
Wen Tianhe was coughing up blood. His voice was extremely hoarse.
Before he could finish speaking, Kong Shengjie closed his eyes and turned to look at him. "This invitation card was personally written by Patriarch Ninelings. It will only be opened if you meet Fellow Daoist Chen Xiao."
Chen Xiao smiled and placed his hand on the invitation.
A terrifying intent surged out from the invitation and shot into Chen Xiao's mind like a golden pupil.
Chen Xiao burst out laughing in the middle of his Spirit River, "Heaven-Suppressing Palace, suppress him!"
Kaboom!
The Heaven-Suppressing Palace suddenly glowed and suppressed True God Jiuling's intent in the blink of an eye.
In the outside world, Chen Xiao flipped open the invitation, and a golden rune condensed in the void.
Any disciple of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground would instantly understand once they saw the rune …
It represented True God Jiuling!
Who would dare to forge the rune of True God Jiuling?
"That … that's impossible …"
Seeing this scene.
Wen Tianhe was battered out of his senses, and his entire body went limp on the ground with a thud.
In the face of the Great Elder of Nine Heavens Sacred Ground and the will of Real God Jiu Ling, who was merely an Inspecting Elder, what could he amount to?
"I'm leaving. I'll leave this person to you. Remember, don't slack off in your cultivation."
Chen Xiao didn't seem to care at all. Instead, he looked at Situ Ling and said, "It won't be long before a great upheaval occurs. Only by becoming stronger will we be able to fight our way out of that upheaval."
Situ Ling was startled for a moment before he nodded.
"Thank you for your warning, Chen Shi." He cupped his hands and thanked him sincerely.
After this.
Chen Xiao didn't even look. He held Shi Yuhuan's hand and left with Kong Shengjie!
The Chengluo River was covered in mist.
However, no matter how loud the sound of the tide was, it could not drown out the shock of the crowd.
"My, my god —"
Only now did Mu Weiwei cry out in shock.
The people who followed Gu Qiuyun looked at each other and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
"Senior Brother Situ, please spare my life —"
…
Outside the Ninth Heaven, Nine Heavens Sacred Ground.
At this moment, the atmosphere at the gate of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground was not calm.
Even though the Sacred Ground's aim had always been to be superior, there were still many people who came out of seclusion to pay attention to what was happening outside the gate.
"You said … Real God Jiu Ling … really invited that person?"
"Although I can't believe it either, how could it be fake since Patriarch Jiu Ling said it himself?"
"If that's the case …"
Many gazes, some out in the open and some in the dark, were filled with curiosity and inquiry as they landed in front of the Holy Land's mountain gate.
In the past …
Those who were invited by the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground were all influential figures. Even if they weren't sect-level experts, they were still leaders of large forces who could cause a small-scale earthquake with a stomp of their feet!
However, this time, it was Patriarch Jiu Ling who had personally invited him …
It was an unknown young man!
"Hehe, no matter where this person came from, the invitation he sent earlier caused many people in the sect to rub their palms together, wanting to teach him a lesson!"
Someone sneered and muttered, waiting for Chen Xiao's arrival!
