Liu Fenghuang stopped her sobbing. Xiao Chen sighed. "Don't worry," he said suddenly, a note of bitterness evident in his voice, "I will make them pay. An eye for an eye." They sat in the breeze for a little more than two hours when suddenly an aura of light descended near them. It was Yu Yifeng. He came slowly over, and saw Liu Fenghuang asleep with her head rested on Xiao Chen's shoulder. "She has not been sleeping since yesterday," Yu Yifeng muttered sadly, "Perhaps she feels comfortable only when you're around." Xiao Chen watched her sleeping, calm and serene like a baby in slumber. "I'll bring her back," he said, and carried her in his arms before walking towards the courtyard of the stronghold. Yu Yifeng waited for him. Before long, Xiao Chen came back and they strode down the hill towards the Coalesced Colors Hall. They exchanged no words on their way down, until Yu Yifeng said, "Chen..." But he did not go on, pausing apprehensively.

Xiao Chen slowly walked to the front steps of the temple, looking at the square where countless bodies lay in a pool of blood. He couldn't help but feel sad. He used his Divine Sense to sweep around and immediately checked the whole Yuqing Mountain. He saw Li Muxue, Luo Shangyan, Murong Xian'er, Liu Fenghuang, and Yu Yifeng were all fine, and he just felt relaxed. He took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Everyone, I'm sorry. I came out late." Seeing him finally come out, many people were already crying with joy. The four elders of the Skygale Sect moved, turned into long radiance, and immediately attacked him. Four earth-shaking power caused a strong wind to blow in the square. However, Xiao Chen's eyes looked cold, and he punched out with the power which could destroy heaven and earth. Elders of the East and North Houses were suddenly shattered into a blood mist. West and South elders were also affected by the shock wave and gave miserable cries.

No one noticed that Xiao Chen's eyes became colder at the moment. He said coldly, "Tell me exactly what you know!" "Hey hey!" Patriarch Guanshan sneered and said, "Then I'll tell you today. Anyway, I can't live. Back then, Xiao Ning was entrusted to do something, but the Thousand Feathers Sect tried to stop him. You should know that Xiao Ning was a martial art talent once in a thousand years in the Xiao family. He had the cultivation of Lv 6 Fivefold. So, how could the minor Ye Yuexuan stop him?" When he said this, his eyes showed great reverence. When the crowd heard this, they showed surprise one after another. Xiao Chen was also a bit surprised. After Nascent Soul Realm, it was Nirvana Realm, and next the Apotheosis Realm. The Lv 6 Fivefold in martial arts was equivalent to Lv 5 Apotheosis Realm. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ning's cultivation was so profound. At the moment, Xiaoyue's face changed dramatically. She would like to immediately slay Pa

At first light the following morning, Xiao Chen was at the Coalesced Colors Hall which sat at the foot of Yuqing Mountain. He was being sent off by his companions and comrades. Perfected Immortal Qing Chen remained quiet all the time, silently pondering, until he said suddenly, "It might be good for you to go venturing abroad. But you have to be careful. Do not be brash especially if you encounter any strong opponents. We are here if you need us. We might be able to mediate things for you." Xiao Chen's heroics had made him widely-recognized as a son of the Eastern Continent. But the relationships between the Five Continents of the Violet Manor have been delicately brittle that even the slightest tumult could cause tremendous upheaval. Hence, the Perfected Immortal was hinting to him that the Jade Qing Sect would always be there for him in the case of any unfriendly conflicts with certain factions from other continents. There was no need to incite further

Thanks to the abundant travel expenses that Yu Yifeng provided, Xiao Chen was able to pick a luxurious and comfortable carriage at a horse carriage company. This way, he wouldn't be jolted around throughout the journey. He shared the ride with six other people—two Foundation Building Realm cultivators and four Qi Refining Realm cultivators. Every now and then, these people would sneak admiring glances at Murong Xian'er but they suppressed their desire after sensing Xiao Chen's imposing aura. The most popular conversation fodder throughout the journey was none other than Xiao Chen's deeds in the recent past. From the first sign of his budding talent at the Immortals League Competition, to the havoc he wrecked at the imperial palace of Zhou State, to the punch he landed on a peak Core Forming Realm cultivator at the Widespread Wintriness Sect, to the hacking of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and to the recent beheading of a gargantuan dragon and killing of a Nascent
