Volume 1: Xiao City, Xiao Family, Xiao Chen Chapter 106: Return to Xiao City

  Duan Huaming's face was slightly pale, and he gazed at the back of the former with a hint of hatred, then turned around and walked in another direction.

  Half a moment later, Fei flew back into the Medicine Garden, waving his hand to open up the restrictions around him. Only then did a hint of excitement appear on his face as he opened up his palm, and a jade slip appeared in his hand.

  "Tonight at midnight, in Huang Hua Lin."

  "Xiao Chen, this time I'll see how you die!" Duan Huaming's hands slightly spat out the jade slip, his eyes icy cold, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, finally turning into a few sinister smiles.

  At the same time, a group of Luoyun Valley cultivators left amidst the envious and admiring gazes of several mountain-guarding disciples.

  Xiao Chen's heart was slightly excited, thinking of his parents whom he had not seen for a year at home. His heart was even more eager to return, and if it weren't for the consideration that the ten Qi Refining stage disciples were not fast enough, he would have sped up towards Xiao City long ago.

  Behind him were two people, one of whom was Ma Shixiong, who had been allocated the abandoned medicine garden at Lingyuan Pavilion. This person had successfully built his foundation within a year and was now an elder of the sect. He had been very polite to Xiao Chen back then and did not look down on him because of his identity as a registered disciple. He was very smooth in his dealings with others, so Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment before choosing him to go to the Xiao family residence. The other person was an old man with a long beard, a pale yellow complexion, and a thin body, but his cultivation had reached the peak of the mid/Foundation Building stage, and his magical powers were extremely pure.

  Further back, there were eleven Luoyun Valley Qi-refining disciples, and Xiao Lin was among them. However, his cultivation was too low, so after reporting to Qingyunzi, they sent another disciple, and Xiao Lin was considered to be returning home with Xiao Chen for a family visit, and ten days later he would need to return to the sect with him.

  At this moment, Xiao Lin's eyes were complex and fell on a green shirt in front of him.

  "Xiao Lin Shixiong is so lucky to have such a relationship with Xiao Shifu, no wonder he will be able to rise to prominence in the future."

  "It's indeed the case, now that Uncle Xiao is in the sect like a shining sun, his innate talent for cultivation is extremely astonishing, and it's not impossible for him to condense a Golden Dan. With his guidance, even if Elder Xue doesn't want to take action, it would be difficult."

  "Xiao City Xiao Family, with me Lu Yun Valley's protection, within a thousand years it will surely flourish without worry. All of this is thanks to Master Xiao Shu, that Master Xiao Lin has such a brother, truly makes us envy."

  "In the future, I will still have to rely on Master Xiao Lin's support and guidance. If there is an opportunity to speak well of Master Xiao Shu, we will be eternally grateful."

  Xiao Lin's eyes were dazed, and he couldn't help but think about how things had changed. He, a disciple who was once humiliated by others, now held such a position that he could make many true disciples be careful and willing to call him "Shixiong" with one voice. As his eyes flickered, he looked at the first green-robed figure, and his gaze became even more affectionate.

  Apart from Xiao Lin, the cultivation base of this group of people was the lowest, also at the sixth level of Qi Refining stage. There were no unnecessary people, and their speed was much faster than when Xiao Chen returned home that time. Although Luyun Valley was nearly 5,000 miles away from Xiaocheng, after three hours of flight, it was already in sight. The closer they got, the more excited Xiao Chen became, wishing he could directly use the legendary Instant Teleportation Technique to appear in front of his parents.

  "It's been a year since we last met, I wonder if Father and Mother are doing well at the Xiao family?" With a soft sigh in his heart, Xiao Chen's face couldn't help but show more anxiety.

  At this moment, the horse brother behind him flashed a glance and smiled: "Elder Xiao's nostalgia for his relatives is also reasonable. Since we are not far from Xiao City, why don't Elder Xiao go ahead and arrange our accommodation to avoid chaos later."

  "Excellent!" Xiao Chen's eyes showed a few points of joy, and he nodded repeatedly upon hearing the words. "The two elders will lead the disciples, I'll go ahead first." As soon as he finished speaking, his body burst into a brilliant light, his speed suddenly increasing several times over. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a small, tiny point of light.

  "This... This Xiao Chen Lao is indeed deeply hidden and not revealing his true abilities, with such speed, I'm afraid that except for Golden Elixir cultivators, no one in the Foundation Building realm can surpass him!" Ma Shixiong's eyes revealed a few hints of shock, he paused for half a moment before speaking with a bitter smile.

  "So swift, it's indeed shocking." The old man's eyes, which had been wide with surprise, slowly narrowed as he nodded slowly, "But your temperament is a bit too impatient, you can't even calm down for a moment, and that's far from being better than us."

  "Has Elder Sun forgotten that Elder Xiao has only been a member of our sect for a year and is still in his youth?" Elder Ma spoke with a hint of bitterness on his face, shaking his head slowly.

  Sun Changlao's face turned slightly dull upon hearing this, and only then did he recall Xiao Chen's cultivation speed that was almost defying the heavens. He couldn't help but let out a series of bitter laughs, his heart filled with endless sighs.

  "Xiao City, I'm back!" A green light stopped in the air above Xiao City, and a handsome young man appeared. His eyes fell on the Xiao family's large courtyard, and his gaze revealed a hint of nostalgia. But at this moment, his face changed, and he suddenly became gloomy. A cold killing intent burst out from his body, and with a flash of light, he descended directly downwards.

  The grand hall of the Xiao family, two groups of people and horses were now on high alert, their swords drawn. The eyes of the Xiao family disciples burned with anger, yet there was a hint of fear hidden within.

  "Wu San Sheng, you've come to my Wu family's doorstep today. Wait until Xiao Lin and Xiao Chen return, your Wu family will definitely pay the price!" Xiao Wen Ting breathed rapidly, his face revealed a few shades of wax yellow, and there were faint bloodstains at the corners of his mouth, clearly showing that he had suffered a serious injury.

  A man in his twenties with a mole at the corner of his mouth and a gloomy gaze, upon hearing this, slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a few hints of coldness.

  "It's just two registered disciples, even if the Luoyun Valley is powerful, they won't care about the life and death of two registered disciples! I suppose the master of the Xiao family doesn't know yet, but I have already joined the Jinshui Sect as a true disciple, stepped into the Supreme Cultivation Path, and my status is much higher than that of your two little sons in the Xiao family. Now you're using them to pressure me, isn't it laughable?"

  "What? You've actually joined the Xiu Zhen Sect and become a true disciple!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenting's expression changed, and his eyes revealed a hint of fear.

  Wu Sansheng smiled with satisfaction, stepped aside and let an old man behind him come forward. His face showed reverence as he coldly said: "This is my Jinshui Sect's Cheng Changlao. If you people know what's good for you, then hand over the trade markets of the North and South districts. My Wu family can spare your lives and leave a way out for you. Otherwise, once Cheng Changlao makes his move, he can kill all of you ordinary people in an instant."

  That old man with the surname Cheng had a long and unkempt appearance, a goat-like beard, big yellow teeth, thieving eyebrows and rat-like eyes, he was truly ugly to the extreme. Upon hearing this, his small eyes flashed with a hint of pride, his heart slightly moved, and a strong wave of energy fluctuation was transmitted from his body, sensing it, he had barely reached the early stage of foundation building, presumably he must have broken through not long ago.
