Chapter 1437: Chapter 1438: Lihen Clan Requests an Audience

The Xiao Sect rose up, demarcating a land of a hundred thousand regions, ruled solely by his Xiao Sect, naming it Xiao Shenzhou, shattering the ten-thousand-year rules of the Central Region of Yanzhou.

Once this news spread, it naturally stirred up a great uproar in the Central Region of Yanzhou.

Of course, there were also many who were displeased with it.

After all, for over ten thousand years, the Central Region of Yanzhou had always consisted of five great Divine Provinces, ruled by five great powers.

To the south, the Luoshen Sect.

To the north, the Southeast Celestial Sect.

To the west, Shenxiao Valley.

To the east, Fengtian Hall.

At the center, the Great Li Dynasty.

For ten thousand years, the five Divine Provinces had all been under the dominion of these five powers, yet now a Xiao Shenzhou suddenly appeared, seated in the southeastern direction, and even carved out a hundred thousand regions as its territory. That someone would feel dissatisfied was naturally only to be expected.

However, the Xiao Sect had ten experts at the Divine Separation realm sitting in town—who would dare refuse to submit?

With such a foundation, within the Central Region of Yanzhou, it was enough to dominate one side.

Naturally, because of this, Xiao Tianyu became the most blazing, sought-after figure in the Central Region of Yanzhou in recent days.

Moreover, over these three months, the legends about Xiao Tianyu had come in wave after wave, to the point that his fame had already suppressed those Saint Children and Princes of the various major powers.

Especially three months ago, atop the Nine Peaks of the Luoshen Sect, in the battle between the Outer Peak and Wang You, the two of them both proved the Dao. After they proved the Dao, neither made a move again, but Wang You said that he had lost.

Since it came from Wang You’s own mouth, then naturally he had lost.

At this moment, within the Golden Hall of the Xiao Sect.

Xiao Tianyu paid no attention to the rumors from the outside world, and for these three months he had been constantly consolidating his own cultivation.

As for Mo Qingluan, Li Fei, Bai Bufan, Jian Wushuang and the others, due to the Heavenly Dao fortune within the Golden Hall, they finally saw through everything.

Furthermore, almost within the same month, they all broke through in succession into Divine Separation.

A few days later, within the Golden Hall, Xiao Tianyu and his group were all present. As for Xiao Tianyu’s ten senior brothers, they had not taken a single step out of the Golden Hall these days; after all, the Xiao Sect had only just been established, and at any time there could be jealous eyes coming to provoke.

So how could they leave lightly?

"You’ve all broken through?"

"Mm!" Hearing Xiao Tianyu’s words, Li Fei and the others nodded one after another.

Bai Bufan spoke up, saying, "Back in the Thousand Cities, big brother’s cultivation was lower than all of ours, yet he already proved the Dao and stepped into Divine Separation a few months ago. If we still didn’t break through, we’d probably be left far behind by big brother!"

"Exactly!" Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes glanced at Xiao Tianyu, her gaze flickering. Ever since she learned that Xiao Tianyu had a wife, she hadn’t shown any affection toward him during this period.

As though, in her heart, Xiao Tianyu had already become an older brother.

"Do you have any plans?" Xiao Tianyu asked.

"What plans could we have? Just cultivate properly. One day when we return to the Thousand Cities, I’ll have something to answer that old man of mine with!" Bai Bufan said very seriously.

"Mm." Xiao Tianyu nodded, his gaze shifting to Li Fei. "And you?"

From the moment he met Li Fei, Xiao Tianyu had always felt that this person was very mysterious, and he had never once spoken to Xiao Tianyu about his own background. Moreover, judging from Li Fei’s powerful bloodline, Xiao Tianyu knew clearly that this person’s talent was probably not inferior to his own.

"Naturally, I’ll travel with you." Li Fei looked at Xiao Tianyu and gave a simple, honest smile. This was his mission.

At those words, Xiao Tianyu laughed. Even if Li Fei had only said a very ordinary sentence, how could Xiao Tianyu not hear the meaning within it? Li Fei was going to accompany him to the very end.

After that, Xiao Tianyu’s gaze fell onto Jian Wushuang. Regarding Jian Wushuang, Xiao Tianyu was of course also very curious. After all, Jian Wushuang bore a sea of blood and deep hatred, yet to this day he had not revealed who his enemy was.

Thus, Xiao Tianyu spoke: "Wushuang, isn’t it about time you tell us your background?"

Xiao Tianyu’s words were very calm.

He believed that with the current foundation of the Xiao Sect, Jian Wushuang should be able to speak.

"The Xiao Sect’s strength still isn’t enough. I don’t want to drag you down." Jian Wushuang merely spat out this short sentence, leaving everyone in the hall dazed. The Xiao Sect’s strength still wasn’t enough?

Looking across the Central Region of Yanzhou, with the current foundation of the Xiao Sect, even if it was a step inferior to those transcendent powers in the other Five Provinces, it was still unquestionably among the top tier.

Thus, Bai Bufan spoke up: "Wushuang, the Xiao Sect now has ten senior brothers sitting in town. In that battle at the Luoshen Sect, you saw it yourself—our ten senior brothers’ strength is above that of the Nine Peaks’ Peak Masters. Could it be that the Xiao Sect’s power still isn’t enough?"

"Mm." Jian Wushuang still nodded.

Just then, Lihen Heaven spoke up: "Could it be you’re not someone of the Central Region of Yanzhou?"

At those words, Jian Wushuang’s expression suddenly changed, which was naturally caught by Xiao Tianyu and the others.

Tiandaozi spoke: "You truly aren’t from Yanzhou?"

"Mm." Jian Wushuang nodded. "That’s why, with the Xiao Sect’s current foundation, it really can’t avenge me yet, so I can’t speak. Otherwise I’d drag the Xiao Sect down."

"Understood." Tiandaozi nodded slightly and said no more.

Xiao Tianyu, Bai Bufan... and the others, however, grew a bit doubtful, even beginning to imagine—beyond Yanzhou, what kind of place was there? Was the Martial Arts there even more prosperous than here?

"Clan Leader of the Lihen Clan, Lihen Chuan, requests audience with the Sect Leader of the Xiao Sect!" Just then, a booming shout shot straight into the heavens, drawing quite a few people to gather beneath Mount Xiao God, their gazes fixed on the group from the Lihen Clan.

The one who had just shouted was indeed the Clan Leader of the Lihen Clan, Lihen Chuan.

And he had ascended Mount Xiao God to request an audience.

In this way, he couldn’t help but make many people recall the incident at the Luoshen Sect a few months ago.

Back then, when Xiao Tianyu led his ten senior brothers, along with five disciples of the Xiao Sect, and descended upon the Luoshen Sect, Lihen Chuan had been the first to arrive.

Just because of Xiao Tianyu, fearing he would offend the Luoshen Sect and implicate his Lihen Clan, Lihen Chuan had ruthlessly expelled Lihen Heaven from the Lihen Clan without hesitation.

Yet after Xiao Tianyu forged the Xiao Sect, demarcated a hundred thousand regions as Xiao Sect territory, and named it Xiao Shenzhou, the Lihen Clan had now come seeking audience. Their intention was likely already self-evident.

Moreover, behind Lihen Chuan was a group of young disciples of the Lihen Clan, all of them the most outstanding batch of the Lihen Clan.

From this, it wasn’t hard to imagine that Lihen Chuan wished to send some of the Lihen Clan’s most exceptional people into the Xiao Sect to cultivate.

At this moment, within the Xiao Divine Hall.

Xiao Tianyu looked toward Lihen Heaven and spoke: "Hentian, what do you think about this matter?"

Obviously, Xiao Tianyu wanted to see what Lihen Heaven’s thoughts were.

Lihen Heaven spoke: "I am no longer a member of the Lihen Clan. I’ll leave it to the Sect Leader’s judgment."

"You truly plan to sever ties with the Lihen Clan?" Xiao Tianyu was somewhat surprised, but Lihen Heaven’s gaze was like a sword as he spoke: "It’s not that I’m severing ties, but that the Lihen Clan can’t tolerate me. So, a few months ago, the Lihen Clan had already expelled me."
