Chapter 94: The Chen Family Ancestor

Has the time finally come?

Yan Xiao's eyes narrowed, and he sneered, "Let you all serve as the stepping stones for my conquest of Liuyun County, then?"

"Young Master, it is necessary to remind you that the Chen Family has sent a total of twenty Spirit Void Realm cultivators this time. One of them is the Chen Family ancestor, Chen Jing. Legend says he is at the Spirit Void Peak, but that was many years ago." Tingxue, rarely showing concern for Yan Xiao, could not help but remind him.

"You mean that Chen Jing might be a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse?" Yan Xiao frowned and said.

"It is very likely!" Tingxue nodded.

Yan Xiao rubbed his nose; if he were truly a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, things would be difficult to handle.

Cultivating a Nascent Soul already belongs to the level of a Half-Immortal; their spells and divine abilities are incomparable to those in lower realms, even for a Spirit Void Peak cultivator.

"Currently, the only things I have that can cause damage to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator are the Divine Bow and the Green Thorn. System, help me calculate: with my current cultivation, can I kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?" Yan Xiao lowered his head and asked.

"No. Although the Green Thorn can break through defenses, it is truly too difficult to injure a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator; killing one is basically impossible." The system explained: "A Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, as the name implies, has already cultivated a primordial spirit, which is equivalent to a second life. As long as the primordial spirit is not extinguished, even if the physical body is destroyed, they can still be resurrected, though it will damage their cultivation."

"Possession and rebirth?" Yan Xiao scratched his head, feeling somewhat annoyed. This Nascent Soul Realm was similar to what was written in the mythological novels of his past life; it was indeed formidable.

"Young Master, have you decided?" Tingxue asked. She seemed to still be somewhat hesitant. When dealing with Spirit Void Realm cultivators, no matter how many there were, she would never be timid and would still do her best to assassinate them. But... facing a Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, she... really did not want to go to her death.

She also did not believe that Yan Xiao could create a miracle, because even if Yan Xiao had many more secret techniques and divine abilities, it was impossible to kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

"Where are they now?" Yan Xiao asked.

"They should have just entered the city," Tingxue replied.

"That is good, there is still hope for everything." Yan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Yan Xiao so confident, Tingxue could not help but feel puzzled and asked, "Does the Young Master have a countermeasure?"

"Yes. Go quickly and invite the Feng Family, Ren Jian, and the others. The Shengjian Sect will hold a grand banquet. Just say: 'The Master of Shengjian Sect Master Yan Xiao has arrived. Tomorrow, I will celebrate his 10,000th... no, 2,000th birthday. I specially invite all cultivators of Luoyue City to celebrate, and the taxes for all citizens of Luoyue City will be halved.' The more people, the better. Be quick." Yan Xiao urged.

"This... will it work?" Tingxue was somewhat hesitant. In her view, all of this was too childish and too absurd.

"It will, it will, it will... go quickly, don't mess up the act." Yan Xiao waved his hand, signaling her to go prepare quickly.

Tingxue lowered her head and turned to leave, but it was clear she was somewhat disappointed.

"I have delivered the message for you, but... I hope you will be fine." Tingxue muttered to herself, thinking that once she conveyed Yan Xiao's decree, she would quickly leave Luoyue City and go to other immortal blessed lands to cultivate. She was still young, and with the Three Elements Spirit Gathering Art, she was confident she could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, or even higher.

She did not want to die here.

At most, once she achieved success in her cultivation, she would avenge Yan Xiao then, which would be considered repaying his favor.

"Owner, Tingxue has abnormalities." The system detected Taxue's thoughts and reminded him.

"I know. Let her be; a twisted melon is not sweet." Through the Juesha Command, Yan Xiao could clearly grasp the movements of every Juesha member. If Tingxue had intentions of betrayal, Yan Xiao would certainly not be lenient. But since Tingxue was only leaving on her own, Yan Xiao would not make things difficult for her.

This was a test, a test for the core members of the sect, to see how the core disciples of the Shengjian Sect would choose when facing a powerhouse like the Chen Family ancestor.

Those who remain are the elite!

"Let us set off as well." Yan Xiao made up his mind to first bring Feng Jingting and the others to the Shengjian Sect. With the protection of the Mountain Protection Array, there would be no problem with their safety for the time being.

The Feng Family.

Yan Xiao used Earth Escape directly to Feng Jingxuan's room.

At this moment, Feng Jingxuan was meditating and cultivating; he was startled when Yan Xiao suddenly appeared.

"Ah! Brother-in-law, why have you come?"

Fear Value from Feng Jingxuan plus 999.

"Hm?" Yan Xiao was stunned. There was actually an unexpected gain; it truly lived up to the old saying: it is a blessing, not a disaster; it is a blessing after all!

"Take your family's core members and go to Luoxia Mountain to play for a few days." Yan Xiao had no time for small talk and ordered directly.

"Oh, is there something big happening at the Shengjian Sect?" Feng Jingxuan asked in confusion.

"Yes, I will explain it to you later. Go call the people quickly." Yan Xiao urged.

"Oh." Feng Jingxuan was very respectful toward Yan Xiao, to the point of being blind. He obeyed every word, and before long, he had gathered the troops and was ready to set off.

To prevent the Chen Family from jumping over the wall in desperation, Yan Xiao brought all his relatives and friends to Luoxia Mountain.

After finishing everything, Tingxue also spread the news, and the entire Luoyue City became busy because of it.

With lanterns hung and fireworks set off, it was even livelier than the New Year.

At this time, the Chen Family members slowly entered the city and were puzzled to see such a scene.

An old man from the Chen Family walked up to a shop and, seeing the shop owner hanging lanterns, felt curious and asked: "Fellow countryman, what day is it today? Why is Luoyue City so lively?"

"Are you from out of town?" The countryman looked at the few Chen Family members and, seeing their luxurious clothing, unlike the locals, said: "Today is a big day for our Luoyue City. It is the 2,000th birthday of the Master of the Shengjian Sect and new City Lord of Luoyue City, Lord Yan Xiao's Master. Lord Yan Xiao is already a god-like figure, and his Master is even more incredible; it is said he is about to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Tomorrow is the old gentleman's birthday, and Lord Yan Xiao is inviting all the citizens of the city to eat. Everyone wants to see this old immortal and get some good fortune; perhaps if we see him once, we can live to be a hundred!"

The countryman was spitting as he spoke, very excited.

"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I must hurry to prepare incense, bathe, and change clothes so I can watch the ceremony tomorrow." The countryman hung up the lantern and ran to the kitchen to boil water, eager to prepare for tomorrow's ceremony.

"Weilong, what is going on? Didn't you say that Luoxia Mountain only had the Li Family's cast-off and a few low-class assassins? What is this about Yan Xiao's Master?"

Among the Chen Family members, an old man with a frail appearance but the bearing of an immortal spoke in a deep voice to Chen Weilong. At this moment, his face had already turned deathly pale.

The older one gets in the pugilistic world, the more timid one becomes.

He was originally a very insignificant character in the Chen Family, working diligently and timidly all the way until he finally became the number one expert in Liuyun County. His principle for success was—never fight a battle without certainty!

If he could avoid taking risks, he would never take them!

He had originally thought that in a small place like Luoyue City, the highest cultivation would at most be the Spirit Void Realm. With his powerful strength at the Nascent Soul First Layer, he would settle it in minutes; he had treated it as sightseeing and relaxing his mood.

But he had not expected such a figure to be in this Luoyue City. Did he not hear the countryman say 2,000 years old?

He was only about 800 years old. 2,000 years old? What kind of concept was that? What kind of cultivation? At the very least, he must be at the Nascent Soul Peak.

Entering the Nascent Soul Realm, every minor realm is a watershed. Let alone the Nascent Soul Peak, even for the Nascent Soul Second Layer, he would have to carefully consider whether to take the risk.

"Investigate! You must quickly find out what kind of person Yan Xiao's Master is. If we don't find out clearly, we cannot act rashly." The Chen Family ancestor, Chen Jing, cursed in a low voice.
