In the sky, a ray of clouds descended, but Daoist Hao came. Xiao Chen’s expression did not change. He flicked his finger backwards, and a finger force completely inserted the hairpin into the vermilion bar.

Daoist Hao landed in the courtyard, looked into the pavilion, and asked, “Has Yun Meng been here just now?”

Xiao Chen said, “Miss Wang has not been to the future today.”

“Oh?”

Daoist Hao focused his gaze and looked into the pavilion room, “Is there someone in the room?”

Xiao Chen replied indifferently, “Today, I am was admiring paintings in the courtyard alone, and no one had come … Why did Daoist Priest come here today?”

Hearing this, Daoist Hao slowly retracted his gaze and said with a smile, “Little friend, you have made great contributions this time. There is no need for you to worry about the matter of Mirage Sea Liu-Li. After a while, the Alliance Master will give this to you when the matter in front of you is settled. When the time comes, you will need to go to the Four Alliances Temple to complete the ceremony. Today, I will inform you of this matter.”

Xiao Chen said, “Well, thank you, Taoist Priest. Also, thank Alliance Master Wang Ting for me.”

Daoist Hao smiled and said, “Little friend Xuan Yue, you’re too polite. Right, there’s another matter. After this time, the Asura will definitely treat Little friend as a thorn in the side. It might cause people to be unfavorable to Little friend. Little friend, you must be careful during this period of time.”

“Mm … I see. Thank you for reminding me, Daoist Priest. Do you have anything else to do?”

“Haha, there’s no more. Then I won’t disturb little friend. In a few days, when the date for going to the Four Leagues Temple is confirmed, I’ll come find little friend again.”

“Taoist priest, take your time.”

A moment later, after Daoist Hao left, Xiao Chen said to the pavilion behind him, “He’s gone. Come out.”

Yanyue Wuqing walked out of the room and looked at Xiao Chen’s figure. His eyes were still cold and filled with hatred, but at this moment, he was thinking about what Mirage Sea Liu-Li was talking about …

“Off you go.”

Xiao Chen glanced at her and said indifferently.

“You will regret it! I can’t kill you now, but I will definitely kill you in the future!”

“Whatever you want.”

“You …”

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Yanyue Wuqing became even more furious. However, he was angry that he was no match for him. Just as he was about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped her and said, “Wait a minute.”

“What? You regret it?”

Yanyue Wuqing turned around and looked at him hatefully, but before he could finish his sentence, something suddenly flew towards her with a whoosh.

Yanyue Wuqing reached out to catch the flying object, but it was a Mirage Sea Immortal Alliance Token.

“Although I don’t know how you managed to sneak into Mirage Sea, Mirage Sea’s alert might be a little stronger than you think. Perhaps this thing will allow you to leave the country smoothly.”

Xiao Chen said indifferently. This Immortal Alliance Token was given to him by Daoist Hao last time. He had used his divine sense to probe it. Wang Ting did not do anything to it, but he probably did not need it anymore.

Yanyue Wuqing tightly gripped the Mirage Sea Immortal Alliance Token in his hand and looked at him with hatred, “I will still kill you!” As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved and went out. In an instant, he disappeared from sight.

Xiao Chen looked in the direction where she had left. He frowned slightly and turned around after a long time. He slowly put away the painting scroll on the stone table and walked into the attic.

…

Besides, Daoist Hao went somewhere else. When twilight fell, he went back to the Immortal Palace. On his way back, he saw a figure coming from the sea of clouds.

That person was wearing a battle robe and a battle robe hat. His aura was hidden very deeply, but who was it? As he passed by, Daoist Hao was still able to clearly see that person’s appearance. He couldn’t help but be slightly stunned in his heart. Why did he come here?

When he regained his senses, that person had already disappeared without a trace. Daoist Hao’s face revealed a faint look of shock, and he immediately increased his speed and headed towards the Immortal Palace.

Returning to the Immortal Palace, he went to the secret hall where Wang Ting was. He saw several Immortal Palace elders present, and Wang Ting’s brows furrowed in silence.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was exceptionally solemn. Daoist Hao’s bad premonition became even more intense. He whispered, “Alliance Master … What’s wrong? I saw it outside just now …”

Wang Ting’s expression was a little gloomy as he said in a deep voice, “Chu Yuanqing came here just now.”

Hearing this, Daoist Hao’s expression changed slightly. When he returned just now, the person he saw outside was indeed Chu Yuanqing. Why did Chu Yuanqing suddenly come to the Immortal Palace?

Wang Ting raised his head and looked at him. “Chu Yuanqing suddenly told me that Ancient Immortal Realm wanted a spot for this trip to Chu Qingyu.”

“Chu Qingyu wants Mirage Sea Liu-Li …”

Daoist Hao’s body trembled and he lowered his head to mutter, “Then why didn’t he say earlier that he wanted to return to Soaring Firmament Palace? Now …” After saying that, he raised his head to look at Wang Ting and asked, “What is the Alliance Leader planning to do?”

Wang Ting’s brows were still tightly knitted. It was obvious that he was in a difficult situation. The other elders in the hall lowered their heads and remained silent. After a while, Daoist Hao said, “But we have already promised little friend Xuan Yue that this Mirage Sea Liu-Li …”

“Of course I know.”

Wang Ting interrupted him and frowned, “How could this be my wish? But do you know who spoke this time?”

“Could it be …”

Daoist Hao’s face turned pale. Wang Ting took a deep breath and said, “Yes, it’s Chu Fengyang. For more than 600 years, Chu Fengyang hasn’t appeared in the world. But this time, I don’t know why he suddenly asked Chu Qingyu to go to Ancient Immortal Realm.”

“Then …”

Daoist Hao’s expression became even uglier. A layer of cold sweat gradually condensed on his forehead as he asked, “What is the plan of the Alliance Leader? We have already promised little friend Mirage Sea about the Xuan Yue Veluriyam. I just told him today. Is he going to go back on his word?”

The atmosphere in the hall froze abnormally. Wang Ting remained silent. Finally, he looked at the other elders and said, “What do you think of this matter?”

The elders were also silent. After a long time, a slightly fat Elder Zi Yi said, “This Xuan Yue is indeed a dragon and phoenix amongst men, but the Chu Clan is the pillar of our ASEAN. One person and the entire clan, the Alliance Leader can weigh the pros and cons?”

These words were obvious. No matter how powerful Xiao Chen was, he was still only one person. Not to mention that he might not stay in ASEAN in the future, but the Chu Clan was an entire clan.

Moreover, the Chu Clan was very powerful. If they offended such a powerful clan because of just one person, it would definitely not be a wise move for the entire ASEAN.

Wang Ting still frowned deeply. Of course, he understood the benefits of this. Everything the Chu Clan had done for ASEAN over the years was indeed indispensable. Although in recent years, they had unavoidably made great contributions to ASEAN, they were still the backbone of ASEAN.

Then Elder Zi Yi continued, “And soon, Chu Qingyu will be married to Shangguan Ruoxue. Is the Alliance Leader still unaware of this?”

“How could I not know …”

Wang Ting’s voice was low. Chu Qingyu and Shangguan Ruoxue were married. Whether they were political marriages or sincere love, no matter what, it was undoubtedly an alliance between the Chu Clan and Shangguan Hong. In this way, the pressure the Chu Clan exerted on him would be even greater.

So now, he only had two choices. First, temporarily obey the Chu Clan, give Mirage Sea Liu-Li to Chu Qingyu, and slowly develop his own power in the future.

Secondly, he still gave Mirage Sea Liu-Li to Xuan Yue. However, this required Xuan Yue to have the strength to balance the Chu Clan for him. However, this was obviously impossible. Even if Xuan Yue’s cultivation was higher than ordinary people’s, he was still only one person. Let alone the Chu Clan having so many experts, how could he contend with a single Chu Fengyang?

Seeing that the Alliance Master was silent, Daoist Hao walked forward and said, “Back then, we had already agreed. This time, little friend Xuan Yue has made such a great contribution to breaking through the Asura Mist Hidden Realm. If he goes back on his word again, I’m afraid …”

“Elder Hao, wait a moment.”

At this time, a red-clothed elder stood up and looked at him. “Although Xuan Yue has made great contributions to the capture of Ghost Rock, this is probably not enough to qualify him to obtain Mirage Sea Veluriyam. Even if the four alliances decide, I think they will most likely give Mirage Sea Veluriyam to Chu Qingyu.”

“That’s right, I also think so …”

Elder Zi Yi nodded his head and said, “Xuan Yue has indeed contributed a lot to the capture of Ghost Rock this time. However, this skill is not enough. If he wants to successfully obtain Mirage Sea Liu-Li, unless …”

At this point, he stopped talking and looked at Wang Ting, “Otherwise, how about the Alliance Leader discuss this with the other three Alliance Leaders? After all …”

“After all, what?” Daoist Hao frowned and asked nervously.

Elder Zi Yi sighed and said, “After all, this Xuan Yue’s cultivation is not low. Furthermore, when I was in the Four Alliances Temple that day, I could tell that this person is definitely not from the pool. I’m afraid that he has a great background.” Ordinary people, how could they not be nervous when they saw the four Alliance Masters? Not only was he not nervous at all, he even left the table alone. At that time, he completely ignored the few Alliance Leaders … ”

Daoist Hao frowned and looked at him, “What do you want to say?”

Elder Zi Yi shook his head, “What I want to say is that this Xuan Yue is probably not an easy person. This time, the Alliance Leader promised him Mirage Sea Liu-Li, but when the time comes, he gave him Chu Qingyu. This person’s cultivation is not low, I’m afraid he will …”

After a long while, the red-clothed elder looked at Wang Ting and said, “This matter can be big or small. Otherwise … Alliance Leader should discuss it with the other three Alliance Leaders. In my opinion, although this Xuan Yue is meritorious, this merit is indeed not enough …”

…

In a flash, another seven days had passed. During these seven days, Xiao Chen had been cultivating quietly in Merlin Garden all day. Now, his cultivation was still quite far from becoming a true Saint.

Even though a large amount of spiritual energy had poured into the heavens and earth, making it easier for some cultivators to step into the Saint realm without going through three thousand and three tribulations, how could a Saint realm like this compare to a person who had entered the Saint realm after going through three thousand and three tribulations thousands of years ago, or even ten thousand years ago?

At this moment, Xiao Chen slowly circulated the Jade Light Heart Technique for several cycles. A layer of profound light slowly condensed beneath his body. The Undying Concept he comprehended was something that those so-called Saint realm experts would never possess, not even those from the Chu Clan.

Right at this moment, a profound light suddenly descended from the sky. As the aura approached, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. He knew that it was Daoist Hao.
