Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son will surely avenge him

  The two old men slightly furrowed their brows, then slowly nodded and flew forward again with a flash of light on their bodies. However, the voices of the two people were still echoing in his ears, "Just make a slight point, don't hurt his life."

  Guan Shixiong's face changed slightly upon hearing this, his eyes flashing with a hint of something, before he nodded and let out a cold laugh. With a flash of light, he turned around and sped off in the opposite direction.

  The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes. As the young mistress of the Demon Sect, there were many things that weren't within her control. All they could do was this much. If that kid could become a Yuan Ying cultivator in the future, perhaps there might still be some possibility between them. But in Beihua State, where spiritual resources were scarce and the level of cultivation was extremely low, wanting to cultivate to the Yuan Ying realm was probably no different from a fool's dream!

  The two let out a sigh and stopped thinking about it, and the fleeting time became even faster.

  Xiao Chen's light continued to flash, but in just a short half-hour, he had already returned to the mortal city of that day. However, this time he didn't have the intention of going down. After casting a spell to hide his figure, he wanted to directly cross over from mid-air. But at this moment, a somewhat familiar and powerful divine sense swept past, immediately locking him in place.

  Xiao Chen's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes narrowed to reveal a hint of his intentions. After all, although he believed that his strength was comparable to that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that he could escape from the divine sense lock of a Golden Dan cultivator.

  A dark light flashed across the horizon, flying swiftly to arrive in an instant. The light dissipated, revealing Guan Shi's face with a cold smile.

  "I don't know why you left and came back, and now you're blocking my way?" Xiao Chen cupped his hands together and said slowly.

  At this moment, his body was tense to the extreme, and if there was even a slight mistake, he would strike out ruthlessly. Although his opponent was a Golden Dan cultivator, he shouldn't think that he would wait for death with folded hands!

  Guan Shixiong's mouth corners slightly curled up, exuding a few degrees of icy intent. He slowly shook his head: "Although I don't know how you can possess such robust spiritual power at the Qi Refining stage, in my eyes there is no difference whatsoever. Killing you would be as simple as pinching an ant to death."

  His words ended, a powerful and oppressive spiritual force burst forth from his body, surging up like a wild storm, sweeping out in all directions, and the winds and clouds changed in an instant.

  Xiao Chen was the first to bear the brunt, but he was only hit by this momentum, his face suddenly turned pale, and a few drops of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

  In this mortal city, countless worldly people who did not have spiritual roots could also clearly feel the incomparably powerful aura in the sky, and one by one, their bodies trembled and fell to the ground.

  "Today, I will let you understand what it means to be worlds apart!" Guan Shixiong slowly raised his hand, the dense and layered black light rolling on his arm like a tidal wave, a shocking and earth-shaking spiritual pressure slowly emanating from within.

  "Slash!" A loud shout burst forth from his mouth, like a thunderclap that shook the entire sky. Along with this earth-shaking cry, a gigantic black sword aura, hundreds of feet in size, suddenly condensed in mid-air, following Xiao Chen's side as it madly slashed downwards.

  Boom!

  City walls, houses, pedestrians, any object under the sword's aura was instantly torn to shreds and scattered, without leaving a single trace. And a huge trench, hundreds of meters long and deep, like a hideous wound, suddenly appeared on the ground.

  The entire city was in a state of mourning, and under the terrifying sword aura that seemed to shake heaven and earth, they had no power to resist.

  Xiao Chen's body flew backward, spewing out large mouthfuls of blood. His clothes were instantly torn apart, and streams of blood shot out from his body. His face turned deathly pale in an instant. The sword energy grazed past him, and just the residual waves alone were enough to inflict another severe injury on him.

  "I will kill you, just like I would slaughter an ordinary person!"

  "The gap between you and me is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth, and cannot be bridged!"

  "With your cultivation and qualifications, you dare to have any unseemly thoughts about Yi'er! Today I spare your life, hand over the jade token of Yi'er's identity, and get out!"

  Guan Shixiong was like a celestial emperor, exuding endless majesty from his body. His eyes half-opened and glanced at Xiao Chen, coldly shouting.

  Xiao Chen's blood flowed non-stop, his breathing was weak, but in his eyes there was an unyielding and resentful color, looking at that Master Shifu.

  "You killed me just like an ordinary person, but it's only because your cultivation is far higher than mine."

  "Your cultivation is higher than mine, but it's only because you started on the path of cultivation earlier than me."

  "I can give you that jade token, but remember, one day I will personally come to reclaim all the humiliation I suffered today!"

  Xiao Chen's eyes gradually calmed down, but the unyielding and unwilling intention was slowly repressed, gradually merging into his flesh and blood, and could no longer be separated. He turned over and took out the identity jade slip from the storage bag, Xiao Chen suddenly swung his hand and threw it in front of Guan Shixiong.

  Guan Shixiong put away the jade token, looking at Xiao Chen's blood-soaked appearance, and coldly laughed repeatedly. "Fine, I'll give you this opportunity! Remember, my name is Guan Zhong, the third son of the Grand Elder of the Zi Xiao Sect in Beizhou. If you think you have the qualifications, come find me!"

  Yan closed his mouth, and Guan Zhong smiled coldly, with a flash of light on his body, and in an instant he disappeared into the horizon.

  "Guan Zhong!" Xiao Chen's eyes were gloomy and fierce, like a wounded lone wolf, his mouth repeating the name several times, as if he wanted to remember it firmly in his mind.

  A mouthful of blood spurted out again, Xiao Chen took out several pills and swallowed them, turned around and rushed away, with a trail of blood rain fluttering behind him.

  Luoyun Valley

  Xiao Chen's face was gloomy, and he walked quickly with his head down. Although he had managed to suppress the internal injuries by circulating his spiritual energy, Guan Zhong's sword aura was quite strange and remained in his body, constantly wandering through his meridians and causing damage. If he couldn't thoroughly refine it as soon as possible, he feared that his body would be left with hidden ailments.

  Just then, a group of people came from the opposite direction and surrounded the four of them, with smiling faces and flattering words.

  Xiao Chen raised his head, seeing several people looking at him, and since he couldn't avoid it, he slightly furrowed his brow and cupped his hands together in greeting: "Xiao Chen has seen the senior brothers and sisters."

  The four people who were surrounded by the crowd like a crescent moon, were exactly the four closed-door disciples under Yaodaozi - Duan Huaming, Li Yuedou, Liu Yu'er and Ji Yuewu.

  "Duan Shixiong, who is this person?" At this moment, a young man wearing brocade clothes and with a straight figure asked with a smile from the crowd.

  Duan Huaming sneered slightly and said calmly: "This person's name is Xiao Chen, he is a registered disciple newly accepted by the master one year ago."

  "That's Xiao Chen!"

  "A mere two-layer cultivator in the Refining Qi stage dares to charge at Senior Brother Duan, he's simply asking for death!"

  "Not bad, Duan Shixiong has now reached the peak of the 8th layer of the Qi Refining stage, his cultivation is among the top of the young generation in Luoyun Valley. After this sect's grand ceremony, he will probably take the Foundation Establishment Pill and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How can this kid compare to that?"

  "Heh heh, after the sect's grand ceremony, when Duan Shixiong takes action to teach this person a lesson, it'll surely be a great show. We must all remember to go watch at that time."

  A young and outstanding figure among the four veins of Luoyun Valley, with an undisguised mocking gaze at Xiao Chen, constantly ridiculing him.

  "Hehe, we're all fellow disciples and brothers, I won't make him lose too much face. As long as he's willing to kneel down and apologize publicly at the sect's grand ceremony, I'll let him off the hook and forget about past matters." Duan Huaming waved his hand, his eyes full of playful intent, looking at Xiao Chen.

  "Brother Duan is magnanimous and generous!"

  "No wonder he's a great apprentice of the Ancestor of Medicine, indeed a dragon and phoenix among humans."

  "This kid is really lucky, if it were me, I would definitely humiliate him severely before letting him off."

  Everyone heard this and again flattered and fawned.

  Xiao Chen's eyebrows slightly furrowed, his body gradually straightening. He had never had a good impression of Duan Huaming to begin with, and now that the other party was intentionally humiliating him, he naturally didn't need to consider saving face anymore.

  "Brother Duan, don't hold back, at the grand ceremony of our sect, no matter what happens, I'll take it all on myself."

  Xiao Chen's voice was calm and flat as he said.

  Quiet!

  After hearing this sentence, everyone's eyes showed an incredible expression, and the gaze towards Xiao Chen was full of strangeness.

  "This kid isn't crazy, is he?!"

  "He who commits evil will not live, originally this time Yao Shi Zu successfully condensed the Golden Elixir and became our Luoyun Valley's second Golden Elixir cultivator. This kid as his nominal disciple would also rise with the tide, but unexpectedly he provoked Duan Shixiong, I'm afraid his future prospects will be very bleak."

  "Not bad, this kid will definitely be humiliated by Duan Shixiong on the day of the sect's grand ceremony."

  "It serves you right, a mere two-layered Qi Refining stage waste like you dares to spout such arrogant words. People like you need to be taught a lesson."

  Although many people were coldly ridiculed and mocked, there was one person who had a beautiful and extraordinary gaze.

  Ji Yue's beautiful eyes stared tightly at Xiao Chen's calm face, and she thought to herself: "Isn't he going to continue hiding anymore? Good, I'm also very curious, just how deeply has he been hiding for the past year?"

  Ji Yu Wu, a rare and exceptional cultivator from the Lu Yun Valley who had not appeared for hundreds of years, made rapid progress in his cultivation within just one year, shocking everyone.

  "Xiao Shidi, the Master has successfully condensed the Golden Elixir. The sect's grand competition and the valley's dan-making assessment have all been postponed to be held at the Master's Condensing Dan Grand Ceremony one month later. You should not enter closed-door cultivation recently, but attend the ceremony on time."

  The young generation of Luoyun Valley's first person to speak up, although the voice is not loud, it is enough to attract everyone's attention. After all, with Ji Yuewu's talent, it is likely that she will condense a golden elixir within a hundred years and become an existence similar to the old ancestor of Luoyun Valley, so they naturally want to be careful in their treatment.

  "Thank you, Senior Sister, for informing me. One month later, Xiao Chen will definitely attend on time. If nothing happens, Junior Brother takes his leave first." Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the woman, and he bowed his head in respect before turning around and leaving with large strides.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave first." Ji Yuwu said lightly, disregarding the subtle changes in everyone's expressions, and directly unfolded her cloak of light, like a celestial being in the clouds, instantly disappearing before everyone's eyes.
