The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 406 Sacred Relic

Hearing the words of the Hong Sect Old Ancestor, everyone was even more astonished.

Wasn't the Old Ancestor saying that if Chen Xiao wanted to destroy the Hong Sect, even he couldn't stop him?

How strong would he have to be?

And this kid had actually saved the Old Ancestor's life? What was going on?

In fact, Chen Xiao had long recognized this Hong Sect Old Ancestor as the blue-shirted old man he had met on Icefire Island.

It was just that the two disciples who had been with him last time were not by his side this time.

He cupped his fist at the Hong Sect Old Ancestor, smiling and saying, "Old man, have you been well?"

"It really is true that people meet everywhere, I didn't expect us to meet again under these circumstances. My unworthy disciples and grandsons have offended you greatly, sir, and I apologize to you on their behalf!"

As he spoke, the Hong Sect Old Ancestor bowed to Chen Xiao.

Everyone was stunned again. The scene before them had exceeded their ability to bear.

They had never seen the Hong Sect Old Ancestor be so polite and respectful to anyone, especially someone who was not even thirty years old.

Ah Le asked with a frustrated expression, "Old Ancestor, what exactly is going on? Are we really going to have a nobody become our leader in the future?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hong Sect Old Ancestor's face immediately darkened, and he questioned coldly, "Didn't you hear what I just said? Or didn't you understand? Or are you saying you want me to disband your branch?"

Ah Le was so frightened that he shivered all over, and said timidly, "Ah Le understands, Ah Le wouldn't dare..."

"If you understand, then get out of here!"

The Hong Sect Old Ancestor pointed to the door and shouted!

"Yes, yes, I'll get out of here right away..."

Ah Le was so scared that he ran away, leaving immediately.

The others were dumbfounded, at a loss.

The Hong Sect Old Ancestor glanced at them again: "Do you think I was only talking about him? I was talking about you too!"

Hearing this, everyone scrambled to run out, afraid of being too slow and displeasing the Old Ancestor.

In less than half a minute, only the Hong Sect Old Ancestor and Chen Xiao were left in the teahouse.

"Mr. Chen, please sit down. There are too many people, it's not convenient for us to talk. Please don't take offense."

The Hong Sect Old Ancestor made a gesture inviting Chen Xiao to sit.

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, Old Ancestor. It was I who acted recklessly and interfered in your sect's affairs. Please don't blame me."

"Hahahaha."

The Old Ancestor laughed heartily again, "Mr. Chen, you're joking. You should also be able to see that this Hong Sect is not really my gang. We only formed the Hong Sect to raise funds. We didn't take it to heart at all. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen to the point where people like Ah Le and Huo Shui are in charge of important matters in the gang."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao finally understood.

It turned out that the Hong Sect Old Ancestor didn't take the Hong Sect seriously at all, so Chen Xiao's suggestion to have Hua Ge become the leader was readily agreed to by the Old Ancestor.

Thinking about it, if the Hong Sect Old Ancestor really took the Hong Sect seriously, he wouldn't have watched the various branches of the sect fall apart and fight each other.

The Old Ancestor continued, "Mr. Chen, I'm ashamed to be called Old Ancestor in front of you. My surname is Huang, and my given name is Zhan."

Chen Xiao said politely, "So it's Old Huang, I'm sorry for my lack of respect."

"Mr. Chen, let's not beat around the bush. Actually, the reason I sent them all away is because I have a request for you."

Old Huang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, what Old Huang wants to ask me is about Icefire Island, right?"

Old Huang's eyes lit up: "Mr. Chen, you are indeed straightforward. What I want to ask is exactly this matter. That day, Mr. Chen displayed his divine power and killed the great demon Zhu Jiuyin. I was worried that Mr. Chen would make things difficult for me, so I fled in a panic. I hope Mr. Chen won't laugh at me."

His words were quite frank, and Chen Xiao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, then asked, "I wonder what exactly Old Huang wants to ask?"

"Mr. Chen, I want to ask, after you killed Zhu Jiuyin, did you find any treasures on Icefire Island?"

Old Huang asked.

"I did find a few treasures, but I don't know which one Old Huang is asking about specifically."

Chen Xiao looked at Old Huang, and found that his breathing was becoming rapid, and his complexion was also becoming more ruddy, obviously he was a little excited.

"The Sacred Relic, did Mr. Chen find the legendary Sacred Relic?"

Old Huang asked excitedly.

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned: "Sacred Relic? What Sacred Relic?"

Old Huang looked surprised and asked in return, "Didn't Mr. Chen go to Icefire Island to find the Sacred Relic?"

Chen Xiao shook his head and said truthfully: "I've never heard of any Sacred Relic. I went to Icefire Island just to find the Scarlet Blood Wood that can repair the Seven Fiend Blood Banner."

"This…"

A trace of suspicion flashed in Old Huang's eyes, "Mr. Chen, are you really didn't discover the Sacred Relic? Besides that Scarlet Blood Wood, what other treasures did you find?"

Chen Xiao snorted coldly: "Old Huang, are you questioning me?"

"Mr. Chen, please calm down, I wouldn't dare..."

Old Huang was terrified, afraid of angering Chen Xiao, after all, with Chen Xiao's strength, he couldn't afford to offend him.

Chen Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "How about this, you tell me about that legendary Sacred Relic, and I will tell you all the treasures I found on Icefire Island, what do you think?"

Old Huang smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Chen, you don't have to be so polite. The legendary Sacred Relic is not a big secret. Since Mr. Chen wants to know, I will tell you."

Then, Old Huang told Chen Xiao what he knew.

It turned out that according to legend, in ancient times, there was an Immortal Emperor who fell on Earth.

Although he fell, he left behind five Sacred Relics on Earth. Each of these five Sacred Relics was a peerless treasure. Getting any one of them would make you invincible.

In that Icefire Island, there was one of the Sacred Relics left by this Immortal Emperor.

Old Huang and his fellow disciples had prepared for this for decades, but they didn't expect that they didn't even see what the Sacred Relic looked like before they were wiped out by the guardian demon Zhu Jiuyin.

"So that's how it is."

After listening to Old Huang's words, Chen Xiao nodded frequently, "Let's not beat around the bush, Old Huang, I didn't see the Sacred Relic you mentioned on Icefire Island. The treasure I found was just Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Core Rock. In terms of preciousness, it's far from the Sacred Relic you mentioned."

Hearing this, Old Huang sighed softly, and a trace of disappointment could not help but appear in his eyes.

"If that's the case, then the legend may not be true..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao denied: "I don't think this legend is necessarily not true, because I can feel that in the depths of that volcano, there is indeed a peerless treasure..."
