C359 Invited
The only person who dared to summon out the flying machine in the Longjiang City was probably Chen Xiao.
However, just as Chen Xiao was about to go up the Sun Moon Shuttle, a middle-aged man walked out from the side and stopped Chen Xiao.
Sir Chen Xiao, please wait. I am the City Lord of Longjiang City, I have something that I would like to invite you to my residence for a moment.
An invitation from the Longjiang City's City Lord? Chen Xiao was a little surprised.
During the crusade in front, Chen Xiao did not see the Longjiang City Lord appear. Even the trusted aides beside him did not show up.
But putting that aside, Chen Xiao had just caused a ruckus in his Longjiang City. If he were to come out now to invite him, wouldn't he have to make arrangements for him?
Longjiang City seemed to have seen through Chen Xiao's thoughts, he hurried to reply: "Sir Chen, do not worry, I definitely do not have any ill intentions, I only have something to discuss with Sir Chen."
Since things had already come to this, it wouldn't make sense if Chen Xiao didn't go. Furthermore, he did not think that there was anyone in the Longjiang City that could deal with him.
Not long after, the few of them arrived at the Longjiang City's main house. After entering, he was led by the Longjiang City to a study in the backyard.
The Longjiang City Lord suddenly stopped.
"Mister Chen, you're the only one who can enter the study. Can you make these two wait outside?"
Hm?
These words surprised Chen Xiao. The Longjiang City Lord's meaning was that even he cannot enter! Either there was a trap inside, or the people inside, their status was even more expensive than the Longjiang City Lord!
He immediately spread out his spiritual sense. Indeed, there was only one person in the study, but there were two 1-star Martial Saint s hiding outside the study.
It seems that the person inside has quite the background.
Letting Mayor of Tianyang and Chen Er stay outside, Chen Xiao pushed open the study door and entered.
As soon as he entered, he heard these words.
"Truly a young man of few years of age. To have such strength at such a young age, it is truly hard for one not to be shocked just by thinking about it."
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties. Although his clothes weren't extravagant, Chen Xiao could clearly feel a presence of someone in power coming from his body.
"May I know what business did this gentleman have with me?"
Chen Xiao's tone was still considered polite. One point was that the other party appeared to be friendly, and the other was that he had more or less guessed the identity of the other party.
Other than the emperor of the DongXun Empire, there was not a single other person who could make the Longjiang City Lord stay outside and protect them from both sides.
Chen Xiao's guess was indeed not wrong. The man in front of him, was the emperor of the DongXun Empire, Xiang Tianxun.
"Hehe, actually, it's nothing much. I just heard about some of my young friend's deeds and was very interested. So I wanted to have a chat with my young friend." Xiang Tianxun laughed.
Chen Xiao shook his head and said: "I am afraid it is not just a chat. Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it. If you want to pursue the matter of me destroying the five great sects, then come. "As long as you don't implicate my Chen family."
However, Xiang Tianxun casually waved his hand and said: "Little friend, you are worrying too much. Actually, our five great sects have always wanted to take action against them. It's all thanks to little friend for solving this problem for the Imperial Family. "
These words surprised Chen Xiao, he never thought that the Imperial Family would actually want to take action against the five great sects?
Sensing Chen Xiao's doubt, Xiang Tianxun explained it a little.
It turned out that in the beginning, the five great sects and the Imperial Family were very harmonious. Almost all the members of the Imperial Family who cultivated would go to the five great sects.
But with the development of the five great sects, that balance was broken. The royal family soon lost control of the five great sects, and they ruled over the mountain.
In such a situation, it was within reason that the royal family wanted to make a move against the five great sects.
Chen Xiao did not expect himself to help the royalty so easily. No wonder the royalty did not react to this whole thing.
"If it's just gratitude, then there's no need. If the five great sects provoke me, then they are bound to have such an ending."
Having offended a Martial Immortal, it was inevitable that the five great sects would have such an ending.
Xiang Tianxun never thought that Chen Xiao would say such domineering words, and in his heart, his opinion of him grew even higher.
However, he still had to say what he needed to say.
"Actually, there's something I need to discuss with you for a while."
Chen Xiao thought that he finally had serious business to attend to.
"Apart from the demonic forests on this continent, the four great empires of East, West, and North come down from it. I wonder if little friend knows how long it has been since there was a struggle between the four empires? "
Chen Xiao still knew the answer to this question. It had been almost a hundred years since a battle broke out.
However, was this question related to what Xiang Tianxun wanted to say?
In fact, it did matter.
"Outsiders only know that the Four Great Empires haven't had any battles in a hundred years, but they don't know that this is actually built on the agreement made by the four empires and their many cultivators."
"A promise?" Chen Xiao was interested.
"Yes, an agreement that would balance the powers of the four empires as well as all the experts." Xiang Tianxun nodded and continued to explain to Chen Xiao.
Actually, on this continent, other than the Demonic Beast Forest and the Four Great Empires, there was an independent space in the middle of the Four Great Empires that was called Black Dragon territory.
Inside Black Dragon territory, the amount of spirit energy contained inside was more than ten times that outside! There were all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures that could be found everywhere, and there were even items left behind by a Saint or even a Deity!
Cultivation techniques, weapons, magical treasures, immortal pills, even things that no one had ever heard of.
Other than these, the most precious thing is that heaven and earth true essence can be obtained.
"heaven and earth true essence?"
Chen Xiao was a little surprised. Logically speaking, there should have been heaven and earth true essence in this continent's spirit energy concentration, even if the spirit energy in the Black Dragon territory was more than ten times stronger, it still wouldn't be enough to produce a heaven and earth true essence.
Since the Black Dragon territory had so many benefits, the Four Great Empires were naturally unwilling to part with them.
However, there was a problem that the Black Dragon territory s could not casually enter. It would only open once every ten years, and the total number of people who could enter was no less than a hundred.
Everyone wanted to enter the Black Dragon territory, but the Four Great Empires couldn't just watch as their rankers bleed for the spots, right?
Therefore, in the end, everyone made a joint agreement. Every month before the opening of the Black Dragon territory, the strong warriors of the Four Great Empires would use the Empire as their unit.
First forty, second thirty, third twenty, fourth ten. Exactly a hundred.
Hearing that, Chen Xiao understood that the reason why so many participants of the competition were related to the allocation of the spots. It turned out that the upper echelons had already taken the lead to do so.
As for the reason why Xiang Tianxun came to find him, Chen Xiao could more or less guess: after he destroyed the five great sects, the number of DongXun Empire s left behind were equivalent to five fewer. The pressure on the competition for the spots would definitely be greater.
