Chapter 335 People from the Divine Weapon Sect Arrive
Niu Qingqing was sullen when she returned from the Niu family home.
She thought that Niu Zheng had abandoned her and her brother.
Xiao Chen was helpless about this.
He couldn't explain it too clearly either.
Xiao Chen continued his daily cultivation, and his cultivation level continued to improve.
On this day, Li Wannian came to the villa as usual, but said he wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Chen.
"Sir, there's a significant problem at the Imperial Capital Martial Alliance headquarters. I have to go back," Li Wannian said with a sigh.
"Otherwise, I really want to stay by your side and study hard." He was very reluctant to leave, feeling that he had learned a lot from Xiao Chen.
Just watching Xiao Chen cultivate martial arts there felt profound and mysterious, and one could always gain some insights.
Xiao Chen remained expressionless and told him to go back as soon as possible if he had something to do.
He left in a hurry, it seemed that something urgent happened at the Martial Alliance headquarters.
What could be so serious that the Martial Alliance would rush to recall even a King-level elder?
Aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble in the capital?
After a moment of contemplation, he summoned the Underworld Guards and instructed them to closely monitor the Martial Alliance's movements and report back to him at any time.
Xiao Chen continued his cultivation.
His level of understanding has stagnated for a long time.
At this point, further progress is extremely difficult, but with the half of the body-strengthening technique he obtained from the Ouyang family, he has made further progress recently.
That evening, Xiao Chen was consolidating his cultivation realm with his eyes closed in the villa's living room.
Niu Qingqing sat to the side, reviewing her lessons.
Niu Qingqing hadn't been to Yingcai University for a long time and was on the verge of being expelled, but she still attended online classes every day and studied diligently, preparing to start school again tomorrow.
At one point, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
He sensed that an uninvited guest had arrived near the villa.
Judging from that aura, the person seemed to be a martial artist of considerable strength.
At this moment, outside the villa, a middle-aged man with long hair was intently examining the interior of the villa.
He was dressed in a long robe, giving him a somewhat otherworldly and ethereal air.
The long-haired man stared at the villa for a long time, then couldn't help but show a strange expression.
"What an auspicious place!" His eyes gleamed as he recognized the extraordinary nature of Xiao Chen's villa.
The middle-aged man leaped and landed lightly on the top of the villa wall.
He looked into the villa's courtyard and was even more astonished.
"There's even a maze!" he exclaimed in surprise.
"I never imagined that someone in this mortal world would know this skill!"
"The person who set up the maze simply moved some items in the courtyard, yet created a perfectly formed array that can confuse many people. Even the array masters within the sect are probably not this skilled..."
The middle-aged man was astonished.
After a moment, he smiled slightly.
"However, this mere illusion array cannot stop me. I want to see which master set up this array!"
After saying that, he moved and landed in the courtyard.
With a frown, he took careful steps, stopping to look at himself after each step.
"This won't stump me." Soon, he smiled and walked straight ahead, about to exit the maze.
Suddenly, with a "snap," the maze vanished instantly, and the courtyard was clear and bright.
However, Xiao Chen casually moved to a different spot and deactivated the formation.
This formation was crude and rudimentary, and it wasn't of much use to him at this moment.
The long-haired middle-aged man was slightly taken aback and looked at Xiao Chen, who had appeared in front of him.
Sensing that Xiao Chen's aura was weak and ordinary, his expression relaxed a bit.
"Who are you? What brings you here?" Niu Qingqing asked from the doorway.
Apart from Lin Qingxue and Xiao Chenren, almost no one else comes to their place.
Moreover, the person in front of me is dressed strangely.
The long-haired middle-aged man sized up Xiao Chen and his sister, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"You... are Niu Zheng's two illegitimate sons, right?" he asked.
Xiao Chen frowned upon hearing this.
This person exudes a restless aura; their arrival is ill-intentioned.
Could this be the recluse that Niu Zheng fears?
"You know my father?" Niu Qingqing asked.
“I know him, of course I know him…” The long-haired middle-aged man laughed, his smile full of amusement.
"Niu Zheng? I'd recognize him even if he were ashes. He's just a toad who doesn't know his place and dreams of eating swan meat."
"You're not allowed to talk about my father like that!" Niu Qingqing shouted angrily.
"Heh..." The long-haired middle-aged man sneered, his expression full of disdain.
"A lowly mortal man, yet he seduces our sect's innocent and naive goddess. He deserves to die a hundred times over!"
This person harbors murderous intent and intense hatred towards Niu Zheng.
"Who exactly are you?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.
"You lowly ant, you are not worthy to know my identity." The long-haired middle-aged man looked condescending and arrogant towards Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
He's just a powerful martial artist, yet he's so arrogant.
“Niu Zheng’s daughter…” The long-haired middle-aged man turned his gaze to Niu Qingqing, scanning her from head to toe without restraint.
Niu Qingqing felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
"I think the Vermilion Bird Jade should be on you, right?" he said with a sneer. "Hurry up and hand it over, or I'll have to strip you naked..."
"What Vermilion Bird Jade? I don't have any." Niu Qingqing looked bewildered.
Xiao Chen, however, showed a knowing expression.
The so-called Vermilion Bird Jade should be the jade pendant that Niu Qingqing wore.
The object carved on it resembles a vermilion bird.
Xiao Chen had just returned and was already coming to investigate.
He had already made arrangements with Niu Qingqing to borrow it for future use.
Could this person be a member of the Xiao family?
"If you refuse to hand it over, then I'll have to do it myself?" The long-haired middle-aged man stared at Niu Qingqing's body, revealing a lewd expression.
"Dare to touch her, and I'll make you vanish into thin air," Xiao Chen suddenly said indifferently.
"Hmm?" The long-haired middle-aged man frowned deeply upon hearing this.
He re-examined Xiao Chen and investigated him again, but the result was still the same.
Xiao Chen's aura was that of an ordinary person.
"An ant dares to say such things in front of me..." He sneered repeatedly, finding Xiao Chen utterly ridiculous.
"Kid, do you know who I am?"
"I don't know." Xiao Chen shook his head, his expression indifferent.
"But if you touch her, you'll be reduced to ashes..."
The long-haired middle-aged man paused for a moment, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.
His expression also became extremely ferocious.
"As a member of the Divine Weapon Sect, this is the first time I've ever seen such a ridiculous and ignorant ant..."
"In the secular world, no one can threaten me!"
"boom!"
His aura exploded, and sand and stones flew everywhere in the courtyard, which was quite frightening.
Niu Qingqing's face turned pale with fright.
Xiao Chen's expression shifted slightly.
"The Divine Weapon Sect?" He raised an eyebrow.
The so-called number one sect in the world...
