"Oh? A huge secret?"

Chen Xiao looked at Li Xun with a playful smile, "What secret? Tell me about it."

"You have to promise me first, if I tell you this secret, you won't kill me."

Li Xun said timidly.

Chen Xiao immediately laughed: "Are you bargaining with me? Do you think you have the right? If you want to say it, say it quickly, or I'll do it!"

"No, no, no!"

Li Xun said repeatedly, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you… Mr. Chen, do you know why I was able to become the Palace Master of the Underworld Palace?"

"Isn't it because you have a relationship with Yang Potian, and Yang Potian is the real master behind the Underworld Palace?"

Chen Xiao said calmly.

From the previous time when Yang Potian followed the Li family siblings to the Medicine King Valley, it could be seen that Yang Potian and the Li family had a close relationship.

"Mr. Chen is right, it's precisely because Yang Potian wanted to please our Li family that I was able to become the Palace Master of this Underworld Palace."

As Li Xun said this, his mouth was full of bitterness.

If he had known what was going to happen today, he wouldn't have become the Palace Master of the Underworld Palace no matter what.

He became the Palace Master of the Underworld Palace entirely on a whim, and he brought twenty *Hua Jing* (Transformation Realm) Grandmasters to sweep through Jiangbei because he had just taken office and wanted to show off.

As for Li Cun seeking revenge on Li Ziqing, it was something he only thought of after arriving in Jiangbei, and it was completely unintentional.

But he didn't expect that he would fail to show off, and even cost his younger sister's life. With the death of these twenty *Hua Jing* Grandmasters, the Underworld Palace was severely damaged and could be disbanded on the spot.

But in order to save his life, he could only continue, "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought about why Yang Potian, known as the Eastern Hero, one of the Four Absolutes of the Heavenly Ranking, who reigns supreme in the Northeast, would want to please our Li family?"

"What exactly are you trying to say? Just say what you have to say, and stop beating around the bush with me."

Chen Xiao glared at Li Xun impatiently.

This glance almost scared Li Xun into a heart attack, and he quickly said, "Mr. Chen, actually, the reason why Yang Potian is trying to please our Li family is to join the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei (Imperial City Brocade Guard)."

When he said this, Li Xun looked mysterious and deliberately said the words "Imperial City Jin Yi Wei" very quietly, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.

"Imperial City Jin Yi Wei? What kind of organization is that? Is it a government department?"

Chen Xiao asked loudly.

His loud voice almost scared Li Xun into covering Chen Xiao's mouth: "Mr. Chen, please keep your voice down. This Imperial City Jin Yi Wei is very unusual."

"It's not a government department. In fact, it's just a legendary organization. There are very few people who have even heard of this organization, because most of those who have heard of it are already dead."

Hearing Li Xun's explanation, Chen Xiao's eyes narrowed into a straight line: "Oh? Tell me in detail, what exactly is this thing?"

Seeing that Chen Xiao was very interested in this topic, Li Xun felt relieved. It seemed that he had made the right bet, and this time he should be able to return to the Imperial City alive.

"Mr. Chen, according to legend, the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei was established more than three hundred years ago. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Family's Jin Yi Wei, it just has the same name. The organization itself is very mysterious, the members are also very mysterious, and each of them has unfathomable strength."

"You already saw it last time, Yang Potian's current martial arts cultivation has entered the Divine Realm, and according to legend, the minimum requirement to join the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei is the Divine Realm!"

After hearing Li Xun's words, even Chen Xiao was a little shocked.

The minimum requirement is the Divine Realm, so it seems that this organization is really not simple.

After all, in the martial arts world of China, Chen Xiao has only seen one Divine Realm martial artist with his own eyes, Yang Potian.

The martial arts fanatic Duan San said that he had also entered the Divine Realm, but Chen Xiao had not seen it with his own eyes. And Xiao Zhan, with his strength, may have also entered the Divine Realm.

But that's only three people. The *Hua Jing* Grandmaster is already a powerful figure in one area, and the Divine Realm is even rarer, like a legend.

And this Imperial City Jin Yi Wei, the minimum requirement is a Divine Realm martial artist, so it seems that this organization is indeed very unusual.

"What does this organization do? Also, why does Yang Potian want to join this organization?"

Chen Xiao looked at Li Xun and asked.

In order to please the Li family, Yang Potian did not hesitate to let Li Xun sit in the position of Palace Master of the Underworld Palace, which shows that he really wanted to join this organization.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei is low-key and mysterious. I don't know what they do specifically, and I don't want to know, because those who know this are not far from death."

"As for why Yang Potian wants to join the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei, I can tell you that."

"Yang Potian's lifelong wish is to defeat Xiao Tianze, the Military God of the Northern Border, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't bridge the gap between himself and Xiao Tianze."

"Although Yang Potian has entered the Divine Realm, Xiao Tianze had already entered the Divine Realm three years ago. If he wants to defeat Xiao Tianze, he must take a shortcut."

"This shortcut is the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei!"

Li Xun said each word clearly.

Chen Xiao's brow furrowed: "Joining the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei can defeat Xiao Tianze? What's the logic behind that?"

Li Xun explained, "Mr. Chen, you should understand better than me that after a martial artist enters the Divine Realm, even if they have reached the limit of their training, it is difficult to improve in realm. However, the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei has a way to further improve the cultivation of Divine Realm martial artists!"

Li Xun was wrong about this. Chen Xiao didn't know anything about it.

In fact, Chen Xiao had already labeled martial arts as 'not good' in his heart, simply because its upper limit was too low. Even a Divine Realm martial artist had no power to fight back in front of a true *Hua Shen* (Spirit Transformation) cultivator.

However, hearing what Li Xun said, Chen Xiao became suspicious.

Because he felt that this Imperial City Jin Yi Wei seemed to have some similarities with the hidden sects.

Secular cultivators can only cultivate to the Golden Core stage. If they want to break through to the Nascent Soul, they must have the empowerment of a hidden sect.

And ordinary martial artists reach the end when they reach the Divine Realm, but the Imperial City Jin Yi Wei can allow them to go further.

The two are simply different paths to the same destination.

Could it be that this Imperial City Jin Yi Wei was created by martial artists who survived the catastrophe five hundred years ago?

Because according to the Night Demon God, five hundred years ago, there were Martial Sovereigns in the martial arts world.

Chen Xiao didn't know what kind of strength the Martial Sovereign represented, but it was obviously above the Divine Realm martial artist.

The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was reliable.

"Mr. Chen?"

Seeing that Chen Xiao was a little dazed, Li Xun quickly called him.

Chen Xiao then came back to his senses and immediately thought of a question.

"If this Imperial City Jin Yi Wei is as secretive and powerful as you say, what kind of virtue and ability does your Li family have that would allow Yang Potian to join them?"
