C733 Fourth prince
C733 Fourth prince
Faced with Chen Xiao's promise to become a Guardian, Bai Lan immediately wanted him to stay in the Haihuang Sect. Although she had already reached Bai Lan's minimum goal as a Guardian, she would naturally not mind if she advanced further.
Unfortunately, Chen Xiao rejected his very decisively.
It would be much safer to stay in the Haihuang Sect, but there were also some things that could not be done freely. What Chen Xiao wanted was to improve quickly, not to stay in Haihuang Sect.
"Alright then. Since that's the case, then I'll just stay in the place that Lanxin arranged for you. " Bai Lan did not force him, "As for the treasures that you need, I will get Lan Xin to bring them over to you when the time comes."
"Then I'll thank the empress here first." Chen Xiao laughed. Right now, he was just a step away from breaking through to Nine Star Martial Saint. It was very likely that he would break through if he were to absorb a few more heavenly and earthly treasures …
Leaving Bai Lan's palace, Hai Lanxin brought Chen Xiao on a tour around the Haihuang Sect. This time, he did not run into any annoying fellows.
However, the two of them unexpectedly met the Grand Princess halfway. Only, they did not come in close proximity. The Grand Princess nodded towards Hai Lanxin, then led her people and left.
After he finished strolling in the Haihuang Sect, Chen Xiao naturally left from the Haihuang Sect.
But just as Chen Xiao was about to leave, in a certain empty courtyard in Haihuang Sect, a man stood inside.
Not long later, someone ran in.
Without waiting for the other party to speak, the man had already spoken first: "How is it? "Are you sure it's that guy?"
The man's tone was somewhat hurried, as if his question was extremely important.
Without wasting any time, the man immediately replied respectfully, "Reporting to the fourth prince, we have already confirmed. That person is indeed the target we are looking for."
Hearing this reply, the man, who was also the fourth prince, nodded gravely.
"I really did not expect this guy to actually dare run over to Haihuang Sect. Arrange for people to pay attention to him. Remember, just keep track of his whereabouts. There's no need to monitor him. Otherwise, with the opponent's strength, it would be easy for him to find out.
The fourth prince instructed his subordinates. However, his words made people puzzled. Listening to him, it seemed that he knew that Chen Xiao was strong, and that monitoring Chen Xiao was not a good choice.
"Your subordinate understands." His men immediately obeyed and left.
The fourth prince did not return to his room even after his men left. Instead, he stood in the yard with a frown on his face. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
After a long while, he finally made up his mind. He turned around and shouted towards the outside, "Men!"
Just as he said that, another subordinate appeared before him and knelt on one knee.
"Fourth Prince, do you have any orders?"
"Send someone to contact the sect and inform them that guy's arrival in Haihuang Sect. If possible, send more people over. " This was the answer the fourth prince came up with after thinking about it.
"This subordinate understands and will proceed immediately." That subordinate replied, and in the next moment, he disappeared again.
After the fourth prince's underlings disappeared, he no longer stood in the courtyard. Instead, he turned around and walked back into the house.
This time, I must capture Haihuang Sect.
This was what the fourth prince was thinking …
Chen Xiao, who had returned to his residence, did not stay for long with them. Hai Lanxin also had something on, after sending Chen Xiao back, she immediately turned around and left without even getting off the carriage.
From the looks of it, the current situation in the Haihuang Sect was not very optimistic.
Forget it, as long as the Haihuang Sect was preserved at the critical moment, it would be fine. As for the internal conflict within the Haihuang Sect, Chen Xiao was completely uninterested.
Leaving Xiao Miao to play in the courtyard, Chen Xiao found a place to sit down cross-legged.
With a thought, Chen Xiao entered the first floor of the Tower of Void. The White Jade Rock Bridge was the same as it always was, but Chen Xiao's gaze landed on the ancient tree on the Sky Island.
When he was in front of the blood-colored ancient tree, he had somehow entered this place. Afterwards, the ancient tree on the sky island gave him a wave of pure heaven and earth true essence. It seemed that because of this, the blood-colored ancient tree also gave him a huge amount of blood energy.
If not for the protection of the power of primal chaos and the help of the Ocean Emperor, Chen Xiao really would have exploded and died.
Thinking back, Chen Xiao still had a lingering fear.
But after he returned, and recalled that the ancient tree and the blood-colored ancient tree were exactly the same, Chen Xiao became more curious about what exactly existed between the two.
It doesn't matter if I say them? Chen Xiao simply could not believe it!
But to find out the connection, first, Chen Xiao needed to go to the Sky Island. And it doesn't seem so easy.
Without hesitation, Chen Xiao stepped onto the white jade stone bridge once again.
Very quickly, Chen Xiao had reached the sixty-sixth step. The pressure from this position, to the current Chen Xiao, was not too great.
However, in the next step, the surrounding pressure changed once again.
It was as if he was buried in the ground, the pressure of heaven and earth was actually solidified, and immediately, the pressure on Chen Xiao's body increased by many times! And this sudden increase in the pressure almost made Chen Xiao's consciousness unable to endure it and collapse.
Fortunately, Chen Xiao managed to stabilize himself in time. With the change in the pressure of the heaven and earth, Chen Xiao was in no hurry to continue forward. Immediately, he closed his eyes and felt the pressure of the world.
In less than an incense worth of time, Chen Xiao opened his eyes, and then began to stride towards the island. This time, he didn't pause. Step by step, he moved forward. Very quickly, he had broken through to the 80th step! The pressure from this position caused cracks to appear on his body of consciousness.
However, Chen Xiao did not care about that, and decisively activated the destructive force from his body, mixing with the black flames and enveloping his entire body of consciousness. Immediately, the pressure of the world around him retreated like a rat meeting a cat.
The pressure on his body disappeared, and Chen Xiao immediately seized the opportunity to increase his pace. 90 steps had been completed!
"Buzz!"
But just as Chen Xiao took his ninety-first step, the ancient trees on the island suddenly lit up with light again. Then, a wave of heaven and earth true essence began to spread out, and the pressure of the surrounding heaven and earth actually surrounded him once again, pressuring Chen Xiao once again.
His body suddenly bent down. Chen Xiao never thought that the ancient tree would actually react at this time.
However, for Chen Xiao to retreat on just that, that was simply impossible. Chen Xiao activated the destructive force in his body with all his might. This time, Chen Xiao wanted to enter the Sky Island. He forcefully endured the pressure on his body and walked out five steps in succession!
But at this point, Chen Xiao's body of consciousness was once again covered in spiderweb-like cracks. It was as though this was the only place he could go.
