Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Turmoil in the Outside World
When he took out the Token of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the Pavilion Master’s expression in Tianyuan City immediately turned respectful.
This token is not something ordinary people can possess, only those in high positions at the headquarters can issue it.
Moreover, the person who obtains the token is never simple, none of whom have a simple background.
"Young master, do you wish to exchange materials or purchase them?" the Pavilion Master asked respectfully.
"I’m here to purchase some alchemical materials."
Chen Xiao directly took out a list, which detailed the raw materials he needed. He wasn’t refining ordinary elixirs but rather very precious Heavenly Grade elixirs.
The Pavilion Master was slightly shocked upon seeing the materials on the list.
They were basically Heavenly Grade Spiritual Grass and Medicine.
Moreover, it seemed he intended to refine elixirs or Spiritual Liquid, and refining elixirs with such top-quality raw materials is not common!
Most importantly, the young man before him was very likely a high-level Alchemist.
Or, he had a high-level Alchemist backing him!
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Young master, these Spiritual Grass and Medicine are hard to gather, but rest assured, we’ll try to gather them within three days."
"Thank you." Chen Xiao courteously replied before leaving the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Over the next couple of days, Chen Xiao took the opportunity to bond with Xiyue and Zi Yuan, also ensuring the two women once again allied to deal with him together.
After all, Chen Xiao was too strong, and neither of them could withstand him alone.
Three days later, he went to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, settling the transaction.
Then, he began to seclude himself to refine elixirs.
This time, he had to refine a batch of Heavenly Grade Top-Grade Elixirs, along with a few Heavenly Grade Supreme Elixirs, so he needed to gather his focus and treat it with caution.
However, just as he prepared to start alchemy, Chen Wushuang suddenly entered.
"Father, you’ve arrived?"
"Hmm." Chen Wushuang nodded slightly, "I need to temporarily leave the Outer Domain."
"Elder Xuan’s safety is entrusted to you."
"Moreover, your strength is not weak anymore; you no longer need my protection."
As he spoke, he took out a Spirit Talisman and said, "This Spirit Talisman contains a part of my power. It can be used three times and easily kill anything below a True Saint!"
"It’s more than enough for you now."
Chen Xiao’s eyes slightly narrowed, feeling reluctant. "Father, why so sudden?"
Chen Wushuang took a deep breath, "Lately, I’ve frequently taken action, and those guys seem to have sensed my presence. If I continue to stay by your side, it will bring you mortal danger, so I must leave."
Chen Xiao’s heart tightened. With Chen Wushuang’s strength, he was so wary of the enemy, showing just how powerful "they" were that Chen Wushuang spoke of!
Chen Wushuang looked at Chen Xiao with some reluctance, but in the end, he raised his hand and patted Chen Xiao’s head with a smile, "I believe that after this period of experience, you can handle things on your own now."
"I’ll be waiting for you in the Inner Domain!"
Chen Xiao’s mind was complex, but he finally nodded.
"Until we meet again, I hope by then you’ve become a Saint!" With those words, Chen Wushuang said no more and vanished from the place.
Chen Xiao watched the direction he disappeared.
His heart felt lost.
He understood that Chen Wushuang didn’t want to become a burden to him, but after all, they were father and son, blood is thicker than water, and Chen Wushuang’s departure was hard for him to accept immediately.
He silently clenched his fist.
To truly reunite the family and find Luo Qingli and the others, he needed to become stronger!
Once Xuan Daozi recovered, he should also set off for the Inner Domain!
Steadying his mind, he continued refining elixirs.
Two days later.
He finally succeeded in refining the entire batch of elixirs.
He emerged from the room, seeing people from two major forces gathered outside.
Seeing Chen Xiao finally come out of seclusion, Xiyue spoke, "After staying in Tianyuan City for a while, we’re also preparing to leave and return to the Great Zhou Imperial Family."
"Lately, it’s been tumultuous in the Outer Domain; the Wushen Sect has resurfaced and declared war on the entire Outer Domain, claiming to reunite the Outer Domain, causing great unease among the major powers."
"My father has sent a decree for me to hurry back."
Chen Xiao frowned, indeed the Wushen Sect was very bold to dare to declare war on the entire Outer Domain!
Wouldn’t that offend all the major powers!?
Where did they get such confidence?
Several experts from the Great Zhou Imperial Family also courteously bid farewell to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao could only cup his hands, "Everyone, have a safe journey!"
Before leaving, Xiyue coldly gave him a glance, "Remember your promise to me!"
After speaking, everyone from the Great Zhou Imperial Family left one after another.
Zi Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, are you going to follow us back to the Xuantian Sect?!"
"Yes, I’ve prepared the gifts." Chen Xiao smiled.
"I’m curious what gifts you’ve prepared." Zi Yuan was intrigued.
Chen Xiao gave a faint smile, "You’ll find out when the time comes, don’t worry, they’ll definitely be satisfied."
"It better be!" Zi Yuan huffed softly.
Afterwards, people from the Xuantian Sect also set off with Chen Xiao, heading for the Xuantian Sect.
However, they brought along an ice coffin. After Zi Ling consumed the Restoration Fruit, she went into a deep sleep in the ice coffin, and when she awakened, she would be able to return to a normal human appearance.
The group boarded the Void Spirit Ship from Tianyuan City, heading toward the Xuantian Sect’s territory.
The ship was filled with many people.
Everyone was discussing recent events, especially news related to the Wushen Sect.
"It’s said that as soon as the Wushen Sect announced their return, they swiftly began to capture the territories of various forces. Within three days, three of the Seven Hidden Sects were broken, turning into a living hell. Now the remaining Four Great Hidden Sects live in constant fear!"
"The Wushen Sect is terrifying. Wherever they go, they leave devastation in their wake. Those major forces are no match for them! The Kao Shan Sect and Qingyuan Sect surrendered immediately!"
"Moreover, even in the territories of the Three Ancient Royal Families, many cities have been attacked by the Wushen Sect... The Wushen Sect is attacking these cities and forces while also subduing them, forcing them to serve the Wushen Sect. Their power is becoming increasingly dreadful."
Hearing these discussions, Chen Xiao’s gaze became even more serious.
He never expected the situation to become so severe now.
The Wushen Sect truly had planned this for a long time and acted decisively!
Zi Yuan’s eyes were also filled with worry, "At this rate, I suspect that the Wushen Sect will soon attack our Xuantian Sect as well..."
The terror of the Wushen Sect had been witnessed by them; the Xuantian Sect alone could hardly stand against them.
Should the Wushen Sect decide to launch an attack on the Xuantian Sect, the Xuantian Sect would be unable to resist.
Unless top forces unite together.
Just like in the past, joining forces to resist the Wushen Sect is the only slim chance for success.
