"Shuffle?"

Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. How come he didn't know about this?

It seems that there are some things in the ancient martial arts world that cannot be understood unless you enter it.

"Yes, the ancient martial arts world is not peaceful. The four major factions also want to break the existing balance... Especially recently, the imperial court has taken more actions against the ancient martial arts world. The various forces in the ancient martial arts world have also felt a sense of crisis."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"Xuantian Sect... one of the four great sects."

Xiao Chen looked at the middle-aged man who was still provoking him and asked again.

"How much stronger are the four major sects than the twelve noble families?"

"Not necessarily. For example, the Long family... is actually not worse than the four major sects, but the current Xiao family still has a big gap with the four major sects."

Xiao Lin said slowly.

"Among the twelve aristocratic families, the Xiao family is now ranked last... The Ximen family used to be inferior to the Xiao family, but now, because of the Xuantian Sect, it has jumped to eighth place!"

"So what do they want to do when they come to the Xiao family?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

Even though the Xiao family is now the last among the twelve noble families, that is still relatively speaking and cannot be too weak.

"Suppress and test."

Xiao Lin said slowly.

"Suppress the Xiao family? Test? Test what?"

What did Xiao Chen think of when he said this?

"You said on the phone before that the Xiao family is in trouble. Is that the Ximen family?"

"right."

Xiao Lin nodded.

"They are testing... whether the ancestor is still alive."

"Um?"

Xiao Chen thought of Xiao Yi. Yes, before yesterday, even few people in the Xiao family knew whether he was still alive!

Like Xiao Lin, he didn't know it before.

However, Xiao Yi has already shown up, and the Ximen family should be quite wary knowing that he is alive.

Not only the Ximen family, but even the Xuantian sect would probably be a little wary.

After all, there are very few innate masters in the ancient martial arts world. They are the top existences and the mainstay of a major force.

"Over the years, the Xiao family's status has declined, which is related to the lack of news about the ancestor in the outside world. Now that he has appeared, those who have their eyes on the Xiao family will definitely be more restrained."

Xiao Lin finished speaking and walked forward.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's solve the current problem first."

Xiao Chen nodded, followed Xiao Lin, and came to the mountain gate.

Although he was also looking for trouble with the Xiao family, it did not stop him from watching the fun.

Of course, even though he kept saying that he was not a member of the Xiao family and not a "Xiao", he was still very unhappy when he saw someone coming to the Xiao family to provoke him.

In a nutshell, he can cause trouble, but outsiders... can't!

"Ximen Hong, the Xiao family...is not a place for you to act wild."

Xiao Lin looked at the middle-aged man and said coldly.

Xiao Yu also glared at a young man behind the middle-aged man and clenched his fists.

When the young man saw Xiao Yu looking at him, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Then he raised his right hand and made a very provocative gesture - he raised his middle finger.

When Xiao Yu saw his actions, he became even angrier, but he remembered something and suppressed his anger.

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed. Does this guy have a grudge against Xiao Yu?

“Xiao family Qilinzi…haha, I’m not here to act wildly.”

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Lin and said with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you last time that I would come to the Xiao family again soon to visit... the Xiao family!"

"Ximen Hong, the Xiao family does not welcome you."

Xiao Lin said coldly.

"Not welcome? Xiao Lin, that shouldn't be the case, right? The Xiao family and the Ximen family are both one of the twelve aristocratic families, so it's natural for us to get closer. Besides, I brought a lot of experts with me this time, and I want to learn a few moves from the Xiao family's experts."

Ximen Hong smiled faintly and glanced at Xiao Chen and others.

It looks very unfamiliar.

However, the Xiao family is very large, and there are many Xiao family members. Together with some disciples, there are at least eight hundred of them, if not a thousand. It is normal that there are some people you don't know.

And it looks like they are just a few young people, so there is no need to take it seriously.

His gaze lingered on Ning Kejun for a moment. A white veil covering her face? Who was this person? Why didn't he show his true face?

Although he was curious, he did not think of Ning Kejun, the most beautiful woman in the ancient martial arts world. After all, it was impossible for her to appear in the Xiao family.

As they were talking, Xiao Sheng also appeared at the scene, as well as Xiao Ming and others, including the older generation such as Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei.

When Xiao Bo and others saw Xiao Chen, they frowned slightly, but quickly looked away, pretending not to see it.

Xiao Wei narrowed his eyes and a cold light flashed.

"Master Xiao, we meet again."

Ximen Hong bowed when he saw Xiao Sheng.

No matter what he came for, even if he came to cause trouble, he still had to show courtesy to save face.

After all, Xiao Sheng is the head of the Xiao family and holds an extraordinary status in the ancient martial arts world.

"Ximen Hong, why did you come to the Xiao family today?"

Xiao Sheng didn't say that he was no longer the head of the Xiao family. After all, family disgrace should not be made public.

As for what happened yesterday, a gag order has been issued and it will naturally not be spread out.

At least, it won’t be spread out in front of you.

If Ximen Hong knew that Xiao Chen was coming, he probably wouldn't have chosen to come to the Xiao family at this time.

After all, Xiao Chen is no unknown figure in the ancient martial arts world.

At such a young age, he has already reached the Great Perfection of Hua Jin!

This is the outside world's perception of Xiao Chen's strength. Although it is inaccurate, even if it is true, it has shocked the entire ancient martial arts world!

If Xiao Chen returned to the Xiao family, I'm afraid the Ximen family and even the Xuantian sect would be a little wary.

The Great Perfection of Hua Jin is nothing to the Xuantian Sect, but a person who has reached the Great Perfection of Hua Jin in his twenties is very terrifying!

Thinking of this, Xiao Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart. When...the Xiao family already needs to rely on Xiao Chen to intimidate others. As the head of the family, he is indeed a failure.

"Just like what I said last time, I want to have a friendly exchange with the masters of the Xiao family, especially the young people, who should communicate more. Without communication, there will be no progress... For this exchange, Xuantian Sect also sent several geniuses here, hoping to see the strength of the Xiao family's geniuses."

What did Ximen Hong think of when he said this?

"Haha, now the outside world is speculating all kinds of things about the strength of the Xiao family's genius. After all... the Xiao family has Xiao Chen!"

Hearing Ximen Hong's words, Xiao Chen was stunned. Why did he involve himself?

Xiao Sheng, Xiao Lin and others also glanced at Xiao Chen without saying anything, and had no intention of introducing him.

"It's a pity... Xiao Chen said that he is not from the Xiao family. What a pity."

Ximen Hong said with a smile.

"Humph, Xiao Chen is a member of the Xiao family after all. One day, he will definitely return to the Xiao family."

Xiao Lin said coldly.

"Really? Although I don't know how he turned against your Xiao family, it may not be easy to get him to return."

Ximen Hong said this and looked at Xiao Bo and Xiao Wei again.

"I heard it's related to Senior Xiao, is that right?"

"Xi Men Hong, who gave you the courage to come to the Xiao family and act wildly?"

Xiao Bo shouted coldly. He was already furious when Xiao Chen came to his door yesterday. Now he was provoked by Ximen Hong. How could he suppress his temper?

"Xiao Bo, I haven't seen you for a few years. Your temper... seems to be even worse."

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Bo's face changed slightly. Ximen Ping? He's here too?

Soon after, a figure appeared at the scene. He was a thin old man with triangular eyes, and looked somewhat sinister.

Looking at this old man, everyone in the Xiao family showed a solemn expression. They didn't expect that Ximen Ping would lead the team to the Xiao family.

"Who is this old man?"

Xiao Chen noticed the reactions of the Xiao family members, and became curious, so he asked Ning Kejun in a low voice.

"Ximen Yijian, Ximen Ping."

Ning Kejun said slowly.

"After years of great perfection in Hua Jin, I can step into the half-step Xiantian realm at any time..."

"oh."

Xiao Chen nodded. What did it matter whether it was anytime or not? Let alone the fact that he was not half a step to the innate realm, even if he was half a step to the innate realm, he would not care.

When Ning Kejun saw Xiao Chen's reaction and thought of his strength, his beautiful face behind the veil showed a helpless smile. His age always makes people ignore his true combat power!

"Ximen Ping, I didn't expect you to come too."

Xiao Bo stared at Ximen Ping. He should not have taken the half-step to the innate stage yet, right?

"I have to come and see, just in case... someone bullies the geniuses of my Ximen family and Xuantian sect."

Simon said calmly.

"Where's Xiao Mian? Didn't he come out of seclusion?"

"Xi Men Ping, not to mention that you are not yet a half-step innate, even if you are, the Xiao family is not a place for you to run wild!"

Xiao Mian appeared.

“Haha, no one wants to act wild, just to bring people to see the strength of the Xiao family’s genius, to see the strength of the Xiao family…Now there are rumors outside that the Xiao family no longer has the qualifications of the Twelve Aristocratic Families, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.”

Ximen Ping looked at Xiao Mian and said with a smile.

"It is indeed difficult to be one of the Twelve Aristocratic Families with only a half-step innate level... By the way, has Senior Xiao come out of seclusion? I haven't seen him for many years, and I miss him very much."

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you want to do!"

Xiao Mian said coldly.

"Let's exchange ideas. How many geniuses are there in the Xiao family now? Let's ask the geniuses of our Ximen family and Xuantian Sect for advice... In addition, this time Ximen Hong also wants to compete with Qilinzi of the Xiao family. They are of similar age and strength... Of course, others can also participate."

Ximen Ping glanced at everyone in the Xiao family.

"In addition, Xuantian Sect has also sent people here. They also want to see if the Xiao family is qualified... to enter the secret realm! After all, the number of places is limited. If the Xiao family is not qualified, then let them give up their place."

Hearing Ximen Ping's words, Xiao Mian and others' faces changed.

"What qualifications does Xuantian Sect have to deprive the Xiao family of their place?"

Xiao Mian said angrily.

"No one wants to deprive the Xiao family of their place, but if the Xiao family is too weak, they will die if they enter. Xuantian Sect... is doing this for your own good."

Another voice sounded slowly.

Then, three people appeared and came closer and closer.

Xiao Chen glanced at the three people and frowned slightly, "Masters."

Especially the old man walking in the front, he should be half a step into the innate realm!

Who are they?

The faces of the Xiao family members changed again as they recognized the old man’s identity… the third elder of the Xuantian sect, a half-step innate master!

He comes with bad intentions!

People from the Ximen family and the Xuantian sect came at the same time, and one of them was a half-step innate master. If they didn’t come with bad intentions, then what else could it be!
