At nightfall, Xiao Chen slipped quietly out of his room. He was about to leave when Lil Ruo's voice came from the chamber next door, "Where are you going so late in the night, Young Master?" "Ah, nothing special. I am only going for a nighttime stroll. Off you go to bed." A little over an hour later, he reached the abode of the three Elders. Noticing that the candles were still burning in their abode, he went to their door and knocked gently, "Good evening, Elders. I am Xiao Chen. I have something to speak to you of." "Xiao Chen?" A voice croaked from within the house. There was the loud creak of a door opening; it was Elder Song. Xiao Chen peered into the house. There he saw Elder Liu, with beads of perspiration upon his forehead, as he was brewing medicine and elixirs. Elder Wu was at one side, going through a list where on the table before him sat a large package still opened. Elder Song said to him, "

"Uh Ah!" Xiao Chen growled like a beast. With some clashes, he broke Ye Fei's longsword into seven or eight pieces. Ye Fei's face changed. Losing the Immortal's Sword would cause panic to a cultivator. He channeled his True Energy madly to punch at Xiao Chen. The violent Qi turbulence made everyone nearby hard to breathe as they immediately stepped back. "Uh Ah!" The veins in Xiao Chen's face stood out clearly. Regardless of the horrible side effects which might follow at a later time, he punched all out. The two palms met violently with a huge rumble as the shock wave spread around, shattering the big trees nearby into ashes and causing the stones on the hill to roll down. The blow was earthshattering. Everyone's faces changed upon seeing this. "He... He can even trade a blow with Ye Fei!" Ye Fei was knocked back for tens of meters, and he looked terrible. He had never expected that Xiao Chen's strength could surge several t

Mo Yu's solemn expression immediately eased and he smiled faintly. "So it's Junior Sister Li..." "I won't repeat my words a second time. It's up to you to choose, Senior Brother Mo." That voice once again resounded but faded completely after. Cold sweat gradually beaded in the space between Mo Yu's eyebrows as if he was under increasing pressure. Xiao Chen raised his head to look far into the horizon but saw no one. However, he found the voice earlier to be somewhat familiar. It sounded as if it belonged to the girl he met by the little bridge. "Give me back my sword!" Luo Shangyan said coolly. Mo Yu clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles creaked. With a flick of his sleeves, he sent the Unsullied Sword flying and the sword ended up stabbing the wall. Then he made his exit on his flying sword. Luo Shangyan immediately walked to the wall to retrieve the sword and return it to Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen sneered while s

Moments later, Xiao Wan'er grinned. "Where are we going to play later, Cousin Brother? I heard a group of foreigners recently arrived in several of the nearby towns. I heard they put on great acrobatic performances." Xiao Chen did not respond. Suddenly, he heard a strange cry coming from the shopkeeper. "Dear God! You haven't paid, young lady!" "Put it on my account first! I'll come back and repay you!" "Oh dear. We run a small business here and shouldn't have credit systems..." Thus, the shopkeeper sent for two burly men to stop the green-clothed girl. The girl bellowed at them coldly, "Move aside!" When she finished her sentence, she flicked her sleeves. With the resounding of two clanging noise, the two burly men flew out and fell on the street outside. They were foaming in the mouth and twitching all over. Embedded on their respective chests was a serpentine-shaped needle emitting a sinister and cold g

In the next seven days, Luo Shangyan took Xiao Chen to the Spiritual Qi Gorge every day and the latter successfully advanced into the Lv 7 Qi Refining Realm. He waited for a long time that day but saw no sign of Luo Shangyan. The three princes came instead. Their cultivation had reached Lv 1 Qi Refining Realm after working hard for several months and they had also found a place for themselves at the Sky-gazing Gorge. The gorge was no longer divided into north and south, only three colonies that they headed respectively. The three of them even divided their domains, which they jokingly dubbed "three-feet triangle". Yet another three days passed and Luo Shangyan was still nowhere to be seen. Xiao Chan could not help getting worried about her. He was afraid that something had happened to her. Today, when it was almost noon, Luo Shangyan finally showed up. Xiao Chen hastily ran over to her. Noticing her pale complexion, he asked, "You're injured? Who
