Chapter 1300: The Tricked Ao Jiao

"Quickly, tell me. Why is that so?"

When Xiao Chen appeared to agree, Ao Jiao's face lit up with joy as she continuously shook Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen maintained his smile. When Ao Jiao slowed down her shaking, he said unhurriedly, "There are many things that appear very mysterious. However, after one obtains the answer, one finds that the principle is actually very simple. For the sake of preserving the sense of anticipation in your heart, I've decided to never tell you this secret."

"You are seeking death!"

Ao Jiao was originally happy. However, when she heard these words, her expression immediately darkened. She knocked him down and pounded on him with her tiny hands.

Xiao Chen helplessly smiled and said, "Alright. Get up first. I'll tell you.

"This Immortal fish is intelligent. The five fish that jumped out were actually the older ones among them. Even if I don't eat them, they will still die. So they might as well jump out and let me eat them. That way, I won't eat the younger fish."

Ao Jiao now understood. It turned out that it was as Xiao Chen said: the principle was actually very simple. "Then why did they spit at me?"

Xiao Chen smiled and replied, "Five fish already jumped out. If you still want more, you would be avaricious and insatiable. It would be strange if they did not spit at you."

"I…was tricked by you," Ao Jiao said, feeling wronged. "This is a great injustice."

Xiao Chen smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied now? Let's go. Let's return to the Sky Dome Palace."

"We are going back already? Aren't there still forbidden lands that we have not explored yet?"

"There is no need. Fortuitous encounters do not come continuously, one after another. Furthermore, I gained a lot already. One needs to learn to be satisfied. Even if there are more fortuitous encounters, I should leave them for the latter generations."

Aside from what Xiao Chen said, there was uncertain danger as well. This was the reason why he chose to give up.

One had to learn to be satisfied with what they had, not acting fearlessly and greedily just because they possessed great Luck. If Xiao Chen really died here, then his entire life's work would have gone to waste. By then, he would not be able to cry even if he wanted to.

The cultivation of the Taiji Dao vaguely made Xiao Chen's mental state and disposition calmer and more peaceful, allowing him greater foresight.

Sky Dome Palace:

When Xiao Chen returned, he immediately discovered many more guards than before. The atmosphere also turned suppressive, appearing rather strange.

However, Xiao Chen did not pay note to it. The deaths of one thousand Martial Sages were considered a major matter. There would definitely be some changes after the Kunlun Realm's reinforcements arrived.

Xiao Chen did not enter through the guarded gates. He descended directly from the sky and landed at the courtyard where he stayed.

"The Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen already returned. Quickly go and inform the three lords."

The Sky Dome Dragon Formation silently activated as if it was a fishing net that had waited for a long time. When Xiao Chen appeared, it immediately spread out. Everyone quickly rushed about.

Inside the room, Xiao Chen felt the strange fluctuation of Spiritual Energy. However, he did not sense anything wrong.

Xiao Chen examined Dharmic World, a Major Magic Skill.

Dharmic World had a total of nine cycles. After achieving the first cycle, one could increase the size of their body to over three kilometers tall, becoming a giant looking down on the world.

The execution of this Magic Skill would not harm the body or affect one's nimbleness. The benefits that it brought were clear to see. It could not only increase one's deterrence but also boost one's explosive power and offensive power.

This Magic Skill was not too difficult to reach a foundational level in. Its requirements were not high, either. This was an extremely popular Magic Skill during the Immortal Epoch.

All it required was for one to have vast Magic Energy. However, after the third cycle, the requirements became more demanding.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and muttered to himself, "My current Magic Energy seems to be barely enough to practice this Major Magic Skill. To be safe, I should raise my Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the eighth layer."

He had long reached the peak of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation's seventh layer and was just purposely restraining himself from breaking through, remaining at this layer for these many years.

Xiao Chen did this to allow himself to continuously raise his strength, so that he could easily clear the Lightning Tribulation when the time came without needing Ao Jiao to make a move again. Now, he possessed a half-step Golden Body and grasped Primordial Energy. It was time to raise the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the eighth layer.

"Azure Dragon King, the three lords of the Martial God Palace wish to meet you. They are currently waiting in the great hall."

Xiao Chen opened the door and discovered it was a servant that he met before. He said, "Lead the way. Where is Old Yun? How come I do not see him?"

"Old Yun…Old Yun…"

This simple question made this servant tremble, not knowing how to answer.

Something happened!

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat. He stopped walking and said, "Tell me the truth. What happened to Old Yun? Otherwise, I'll take your insignificant life."

The map from Old Yun contributed greatly to Xiao Chen's great fortuitous encounter. If Old Yun suffered any harm, Xiao Chen would not feel at peace.

"Azure Dragon King, please spare me. You will know everything when you see the three lords. This servant is only a minor character and does not know anything. Azure Dragon King, please do not make it difficult for me," the servant said in horror after kneeling down from Xiao Chen's strong pressure.

It looked like the situation was rather serious. Xiao Chen's face sank, and he extended his Spiritual Sense. He immediately saw the Martial God Palace's three reinforcement leaders sipping tea.

"There's no need for you to lead the way. I'll personally ask them what happened."

"Whoosh!" A strong wind blew, preventing that servant from opening his eyes.

By the time the servant raised his head, Xiao Chen's figure was nowhere in sight. The servant's eyes filled with anticipation and worry.

"This Azure Dragon King is quite strong-willed. Perhaps there is hope for Old Yun. However, those three lords clearly came prepared. No, I have to go over and take a look."

A strong wind blew in the great hall, exuding a startlingly strong aura. However, when Xiao Chen appeared and landed, all the strong wind gathered around him and stopped blowing, giving others the impression that they just hallucinated.

What a quick Movement Technique! He can execute and retract it at will. His control is really astonishing, the three people sipping tea thought to themselves, startled.

Xiao Chen eyed the three and immediately sensed the auras of strong Holy Beast Martial Spirits coming from them—the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise. He was immediately confident that they were of the bloodlines of the three Holy Masters.

"I have no time for nonsense with you. Tell me, what happened with Old Yun?"

Xiao Chen stepped forward and casually waved. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The teacups in the three old men's hands exploded at the same time, turning into countless shards.

There was no room for discussion. Xiao Chen acted tyrannically, not showing any politeness at all.

Such an overbearing and direct move caught the three old men off guard, leaving them at a loss as to what to do, even though they were very experienced and extremely confident.

After calming themselves down, Qin Hu, who sat in the middle, said indifferently, "Neglecting his duties and causing harm to the guards. He has already been thrown in jail, to be imprisoned for one hundred years before he is let out."

Xiao Chen's expression was dark as he shouted angrily, "How absurd! Old Yun did not neglect his duties. How can I not be clear on that? For the sake of this Sky Dome Palace, he even nearly lost his life. In the end, instead of dying in the Demon's hand, the Demon ended up in his hands."

Bai Yu, the Vermilion Bird Holy Master's relative seating at the left, snorted coldly. "Humph! We say that he neglected his duties, so he neglected his duties. Who are you to interfere with this? Just take care of yourself and not worry about others."

"Azure Dragon King, Old Yun did not neglect his duties. They wanted Old Yun to frame you, but he refused. So they tortured him until he was half-dead before locking him up."

Just at this moment, the servant who spoke to Xiao Chen earlier rushed in and quickly told Xiao Chen of the situation.

How audaciously daring!

Xiao Chen was already angry in the first place, so he did not waste his time saying anything more. He moved forward and threw a palm strike at Qin Hu at lightning speed.

Xiao Chen attacking at the drop of a hat and at such a speed startled Qin Hu. Before Qin Hu could react, Xiao Chen's palm already arrived at his chest.

"Bang!" The lightning-quick Xiao Chen was knocked back instead. He only stood stably after he landed and moved back ten steps.

"Whoosh!" All of Qin Hu's clothes tore into pieces and flew off, revealing a set of White Tiger Battle Armor—a mirror armor, pauldrons, gloves, long boots, greaves. Then, he donned a helmet. A complete set of Secret Treasures covered his entire body with nothing lacking at all.

"Roar!"

The Battle Armor flickered with light, and the image of a White Tiger appeared behind Qin Hu, roaring at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was very experienced and had excellent vision. With one look, he could tell that this set of Secret Treasures was made up of peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasures.

Just any one of these pieces of armor would be worth cities. When assembled as a set, they would fetch an astronomical price, much more than regular Emperor Grade Secret Treasures. Furthermore, because these were not Emperor Grade Secret Treasures, half-step Martial Emperors could bring out the Secret Treasures' full might.

The forging of such a set of Battle Armor was extremely difficult. Furthermore, it would require a peak grandmaster refiner to make them. On further consideration, the Holy Lands probably did not have many sets of such things. They were really committed to this.

"Zi! Zi!" The clothes of the other two old men at the sides also ripped apart, likewise revealing a set of King Grade Battle Armor.

The images of a Vermilion Bird and a Black Tortoise appeared as well, roaring together with that White Tiger image.

The Holy Might of the three merged, and their auras became startlingly strong, forcing Xiao Chen a step back.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen take another step back, Qin Hu felt extremely confident, no longer afraid. He said very arrogantly, "Azure Dragon King, just think about it. If we did not come prepared, we could not dare to be hostile with you. This peak-quality White Tiger Battle Armor can block eighty percent of a Third Heaven Martial Emperor's attack."

Bai Yu smiled coldly. "It serves that Old Yun right for not being amenable to reason. However, it will soon be your turn."

The white-haired old man wearing the Black Tortoise Battle Armor said coldly, "Xiao Chen, you barged into the Sky Dome Palace and caused the deaths of one thousand Martial Sages. Now, on the authority given by the Vice Palace Masters to us three, we revoke your title of Azure Dragon King. Come back with us to the Martial God Palace to receive your punishment."

Qin Hu stepped forward aggressively and said, "Now that you are cornered, I will not make things difficult for you. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite with you. You have no idea how strong the accumulations of a Holy Land is. Right now, even if I just stand here and let you hit me, you would not be able to do anything!"

Xiao Chen flung his hand to the side. When he heard this, he started laughing instead.

The Battle Armor on the other party's body did surprise him somewhat. However, where did the other party get the confidence to be so arrogant?

"Is that so? Your tortoiseshell is indeed very hard. However, no matter how hard it is, it is just a tortoiseshell!"

Xiao Chen had not exerted his full strength in the earlier palm strike, not even using any Primordial Energy. That was why he appeared to have lost. From the very start, he never feared the other party.

Cornering him? That was impossible!

"Capture him!" Qin Hu ordered coldly.
