Chapter 122 Gods Hall Martial Arts Assembly

After subduing the Night Demon God, the Night Demon Canopy instantly disappeared, and Chen Xiao and Gu Yutong returned to the villa they had been in before.

Before them lay only the tattered corpse of Abe Fuliang.

Chen Xiao flicked out a Qilin Fire, destroying Abe Fuliang's body and erasing all traces, before leaving the villa.

With that, Chen Xiao had taken control of the entire Shanhai No. 1.

He would now begin his next plan, the first step of which was to replace the property management in the district.

From now on, this place had to be filled with his own people.

This was simple enough; he only needed to tell Lin Jie.

Immediately afterwards, he went to find Chu Songbai, asking him to bring a few medicinal farmers to cultivate medicinal fields on the land above the Dispersing Spirit Array.

This was something Chu Songbai excelled at, so he could be put in full charge, without Chen Xiao needing to intervene.

Early the next morning, Chen Xiao gathered everyone together, told them his ideas, and expressed his hope that everyone could work together to protect their home and the spiritual vein beneath it.

Naturally, everyone agreed with Chen Xiao's proposal without any objections.

They were not ordinary people; they knew how beneficial it was for them to live above a spiritual vein.

Chen Xiao could have monopolized this spiritual vein, but he didn't. Instead, he generously allowed everyone to share it.

This alone made everyone admire him greatly.

They were receiving benefits without contributing much effort, and had long felt guilty, eager for Chen Xiao to assign them more tasks.

Chen Xiao was pleased with everyone's reaction, but he didn't mention the dragon vein in front of them.

The dragon vein was far too significant; the fewer people who knew, the better.

Currently, the people who knew about the dragon vein beneath the ground, aside from Chen Xiao, were the Night Demon God, Gu Yutong, and the Emperor, far away in Dongyang.

Chen Xiao didn't need to worry about the Night Demon God and Gu Yutong; they would certainly not reveal the secret.

And the Emperor was still plotting to seize the dragon vein for himself, so he obviously wouldn't reveal the secret either.

However, his continued interest in this place made Chen Xiao uncomfortable.

Therefore, Chen Xiao decided that he would personally go to Dongyang someday and silence everyone who knew this secret.

Besides these, Chen Xiao didn't know if anyone else knew.

Among those present, the main combat forces were the four Golden Cores of Yaowang Valley (Medicine King Valley), the Gu family, Gongsun Yi, and Lin Zicong.

After subduing the Disha Spirit Serpent (earthly fiend spirit serpent), Gu Zhendong's strength had returned to its peak.

Under Gongsun Yi's guidance, Lin Zicong had also made significant progress in martial arts.

And Chu Qingbai's younger brother, Chu Qingsong, had given up alchemy and begun cultivating his family's cultivation method.

With his talent for cultivation, it wouldn't be long before he broke through to the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, during his time in the Xuanjian Sect (Profound Sword Sect), he had undergone an empowerment from a hidden sect, so he could smoothly break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Besides them, there was also the Stone Spirit.

But for some reason, the Stone Spirit had been drowsy lately, and Chen Xiao couldn't figure out why a spirit body would be so sleepy.

However, Chen Xiao didn't pay much attention to it; as long as it could hold its own when enemies came.

In addition to this, Chen Xiao had also allocated independent villas to everyone.

Although living together was lively, there was relatively little private space.

After saying all this, everyone left to attend to their own matters.

However, Gongsun Yi did not leave, remaining behind.

"Brother Gongsun, is there anything else?"

Chen Xiao could tell at a glance that he had something to say.

"Mr. Chen, the Gods Hall is holding a Martial Arts Assembly in a few days. I don't know if you've heard of it, but would you like to go with me?"

Gongsun Yi asked straightforwardly.

"The Gods Hall Martial Arts Assembly? What is that, a competition?"

Chen Xiao knew about the Gods Hall from Qi Qingfei.

It was said that the Golden Rankings and Heavenly Rankings of martial arts were created by this Gods Hall.

"It's not a competition. This Martial Arts Assembly is just an exchange conference for the martial world. Haven't you received an invitation?"

Gongsun Yi asked with a surprised expression.

Chen Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not even a Golden Ranking martial artist; why would they invite me?"

Chen Xiao had never paid attention to any Heavenly Rankings or Golden Rankings, and naturally disdained participating in them.

Hearing Chen Xiao's tone, Gongsun Yi knew that he wasn't interested in the Martial Arts Assembly, so he said, "In that case, I'll ask for a few days leave for Xiaocong (Little Cong). We'll go to Mount Jiuyi; he also wants to attend the Martial Arts Assembly."

Lin Zicong was usually responsible for protecting Liu Zhen's safety, so he naturally had to inform Chen Xiao if he was going out.

Moreover, Lin Zicong had already become Gongsun Yi's disciple, so Gongsun Yi helped him ask for leave.

However, as soon as Gongsun Yi finished speaking, Chen Xiao was stunned and quickly asked, "Wait, where did you say you were going? Mount Jiuyi?"

"Yes."

Gongsun Yi nodded, "The Gods Hall is on Mount Jiuyi, and the Martial Arts Assembly it's organizing is naturally being held on Mount Jiuyi."

According to the King of Luling's hint, a Sacred Relic was located in the Abyss of Jiuyi.

Chen Xiao would have to go to Mount Jiuyi sooner or later.

And since the Gods Hall was on Mount Jiuyi, could there be any connection between the Gods Hall and the Sacred Relic?

Chen Xiao immediately fell into thought.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong? Is there a problem with us going to Mount Jiuyi?"

Seeing Chen Xiao's furrowed brows, Gongsun Yi was filled with doubts.

"Brother Gongsun, I plan to go with you to attend the Martial Arts Assembly. Is that convenient? Do I need an invitation or something?"

Chen Xiao asked.

Although Gongsun Yi was puzzled by Chen Xiao's sudden change of mind, he was also delighted.

He immediately said, "The Martial Arts Assembly does require an invitation, but with Mr. Chen's strength, what does it matter if you have one or not? Moreover, I have some connections in the martial world, so don't worry, just come with us!"

"Mm."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, "When do you plan to leave?"

"We were planning to leave tomorrow. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"

Gongsun Yi asked.

"I have no problem with that. Then we'll leave tomorrow."

Chen Xiao agreed, then asked, "By the way, I'd like to bring someone with me. Is that convenient?"

"Of course, that's no problem."

Gongsun Yi said with a smile.

The person Chen Xiao wanted to bring was Qi Qingfei.

Back then, Chen Xiao and Qi Qingfei had an agreement: if Chen Xiao entered the Heavenly Rankings, Qi Qingfei would become his maid.

Qi Qingfei had long ago half-jokingly acknowledged Chen Xiao as her master, but Chen Xiao's promise had never been fulfilled.

That was why he planned to bring Qi Qingfei on this trip to the Gods Hall.

After making the decision, Chen Xiao immediately called Qi Qingfei. Unexpectedly, as soon as the call connected, Qi Qingfei said, "Master, what a coincidence! I was just about to call you when your call came in!"

Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, "Oh? Do you have something to talk to me about too?"

Qi Qingfei hadn't called Chen Xiao in a long time, not only because Chen Xiao already had Li Ziqing as his official girlfriend.

Also, she felt that the gap between their identities was too great, and she was embarrassed to bother Chen Xiao.

"Master, it's not that I have something to talk to you about, it's that your disciple has something to talk to you about. He's been beaten..."
