Hearing this explanation, Chen Xiao finally understood.

At this point, he also understood why the special envoy of the Zhushen Temple was so interested in pornographic magazines.

This was completely a group of guys destroying human desire…

Then Chen Xiao looked at Tie Xue and asked curiously, "Lao Tie, what about you..."

"What are you thinking?"

Tie Xue immediately widened his eyes and said angrily, "I was born personally by my parents, not some bastard taken from a place like Yanyu Gate!"

The way he said it, it was as if everyone else wasn’t born to their parents.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. I was just asking casually. Look how worked up you're getting!"

Chen Xiao quickly appeased Tie Xue with a few words, and then changed the subject. "By the way, Lao Tie, do you know what the Zhushen Temple's purpose is for holding this martial arts conference? Letting secular people enter the Zhushen Realm seems to be the first time they've done this, right?"

"That's right. In fact, it's not just you. Many ancient martial arts sects with weak strength are also coming to the Zhushen Realm for the first time. Maybe that day is really coming!"

Tie Xue's tone suddenly became serious.

"You're referring to the day when the Heavenly Dao God arrives, right?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Tie Xue was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Chen Xiao to even know about this.

However, he didn't ask any more questions. He just patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder and solemnly reminded him, "Brother Chen, you must remember my words. No matter what, your own life is the most important thing. You must protect yourself!"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Likewise."

"Chirp—"

Just then, a sharp eagle cry came from the sky.

Looking up, a pair of huge white wings appeared in their line of sight, covering the sky and the sun.

"This is... Baiyu Jin Diao (White Feather Golden Eagle), it's Young Master Huangfu!"

Tie Xue said excitedly, with a look of excitement on his face.

Chen Xiao looked up and saw a tall figure, arms crossed, standing proudly on the golden eagle, his eyes carrying a kingly power that looked down upon the world.

Is this Huangfu Yan? No wonder he's called the pride of heaven!

He's arrogant enough!

The Baiyu Jin Diao under Huangfu Yan's feet was a demon beast close to the Hua Xing (Transformation) stage.

Its strength was still above the giant snake that Liu Wuji had transformed into. Three or four Yuanying (Core Formation) realm cultivators would not be its match.

Huangfu Yan was able to tame such a ferocious demon beast to be his mount, which also showed that he had some skills.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that this demon beast was tamed by someone else, and was now being used by Huangfu Yan.

The Baiyu Jin Diao carried Huangfu Yan, passing over the heads of the two people, without stopping outside the city at all, and flew directly to the main hall of the Zhushen Temple.

You must know that even the Qingluan just now only landed outside the city.

This made Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Lao Tie, your Tiequan (Iron Fist) Gate and Lingxiao (Soaring Sky) Palace both belong to first-class ancient martial arts sects, but your treatment seems to be very different?"

"That's natural."

Tie Xue awkwardly scratched his nose, "It's the same everywhere, everything depends on strength. Lingxiao Palace has extraordinary strength, and Huangfu Yan is an unparalleled martial arts genius, so the Zhushen Temple will naturally treat him differently."

Chen Xiao had nothing to do anyway, so he inquired, "Lao Tie, why don't you tell me about the strength ranking of your six major ancient martial arts sects?"

Tie Xue was an honest man. When Chen Xiao asked, he told the truth: "Speaking of this, the strongest must be Lingxiao Palace and Zhushen Temple."

"Our Tiequan Gate and Dadao (Great Saber) Gate are evenly matched, Xiaoyao (Carefree) Valley is slightly weaker than us, and the weakest is naturally Yanyu (Misty Rain) Gate... If it weren't for the functionality of Yanyu Gate, it wouldn't even appear in the sequence of first-class sects."

"Then which is more powerful, Lingxiao Palace or Zhushen Temple?"

Chen Xiao was like a child, determined to get to the bottom of things.

"This... it's hard to say, because Zhushen Temple and Lingxiao Palace have always had close ties. For hundreds of years, the two sects have intermarried with each other, so you can say that there's me in you, and you in me."

"If I had to say which one is better, I can only say that they each have their own advantages. Zhushen Temple has the upper hand in the number of disciples, with thousands of people. Although Lingxiao Palace has fewer disciples, only a few hundred, each of these hundreds of disciples is an elite."

"In fact, speaking of these sects of ours, the one with the greatest variables is Xiaoyao Valley!"

Hearing Tie Xue's words, Chen Xiao frowned immediately: "Lao Tie, what's so different about this Xiaoyao Valley?"

Among these sects, Chen Xiao had the deepest relationship and the greatest hatred with Xiaoyao Valley. Naturally, Chen Xiao wanted to hear what was different about it.

"Xiaoyao Valley's strength on paper is not outstanding, but according to legend, there are many demon cultivators hidden in Xiaoyao Valley!"

Tie Xue said in a secretive tone, "Of course, I just heard about these things. I can't be sure whether it's true or not. Just listen to it casually."

Although Tie Xue just said it casually, Chen Xiao would not listen to it casually.

Because he remembered that Ye Santong's granddaughter, Xiao Hongchan, didn't seem like a normal martial artist, and was very likely a demon cultivator.

At this moment, a group of people walked from a distance. It was Gao Tianhe leading the martial artists from the secular world.

Naturally, they didn't have Chen Xiao's good treatment and could come by Qingluan. They all walked up from the foot of the mountain.

When everyone gathered, Gao Tianhe looked at Chen Xiao, and his brows furrowed: "Why are you here? Didn't you leave with the Third Miss?"

"Your Third Miss instructed that you will arrange my next itinerary."

Chen Xiao said lightly.

When Gao Tianhe heard this, he immediately understood.

A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I knew it, how could you possibly be the legendary peerless genius!"

In his opinion, if Chen Xiao was really the legendary peerless genius, there was absolutely no reason for the Third Miss to leave him here.

The reason why the Third Miss left him here must be because she realized that she was wrong.

And without the Third Miss's protection, this kid was just a piece of trash from the secular world, wouldn't he be at his mercy?

Thinking of this, Gao Tianhe's heart already grinned.

"Since the Third Miss instructed me to arrange it, then come with me!"

Gao Tianhe reprimanded with an imperious air.

The group walked towards the city. As the sky gradually darkened, Gao Tianhe first arranged accommodation for them.

Although it was said that the top fifty on the Heavenly Ranking were qualified to enter this so-called 'inner hall'.

But in reality, not so many people came. Apart from Xiao Zhan, who couldn't make it because he had important matters, many other Heavenly Ranking experts had already died in Chen Xiao's hands.

Therefore, including Duan San and Gongsun Yi, there were only twenty-three people who came here today.

These twenty-three Heavenly Ranking martial artists, plus the six qualified martial artists, plus Chen Xiao, made exactly thirty people.

And the accommodation that Gao Tianhe arranged for these thirty people was actually a pigsty…
