Du Rong hurried into Chen Xiao's study, "Master, something bad has happened!"
Chen Xiao raised his eyes calmly, "What's the matter that makes you so panic?"
Du Rongqiang calmed himself down, but his eyes were still filled with panic. He said, "Those people who had troubled us before are here together! They have bad intentions!"
Chen Xiao sighed secretly. Du Rong must have been worried about this for many years, otherwise he wouldn't have panicked reflexively whenever he encountered anything related to these people.
Ever since he placed several forces in Feiyan City on the Feng Shui formation, he knew that this day would come.
He asked, "Where are they now? Have they entered the gate?"
There is a small reception hall inside the main gate of Dongyu Sect, where visitors will be arranged to wait.
Du Rong shook his head and said, "We didn't let them in. The guards at the gate knew that we had conflicts with these families, so how could we let them in so easily?"
Chen Xiao sneered and said, "It's best if you don't enter. Pass the order to close the door! Uninvited guests will not be received!"
Du Rong was naturally unwilling to receive these bad guests, but he was the butler and couldn't help but think a little more.
"Master, I'm afraid those people won't give up easily. If they were embarrassed to leave by being turned away, the robbery and robbery they did before wouldn't have happened. These people are so shameless that it's rare to see them do that."
Chen Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he asked, "How are these people's cultivation?"
Du Rong said without hesitation: "Between the Out-of-body state and the Spiritual Severing state, only the old man of the Zhuang family who is in the lead has reached the Integration stage."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Open the mountain gate to prevent them from forcing their way in. My eldest brother is in seclusion and I don't want anyone to disturb him. To be on the safe side, I will immediately send a message to Master Taisu and Uncle Baiai."
Du Rong took the order and left. Chen Xiao sat for a while and felt a little uneasy, so he went to guard outside Xi Yunting's meditation room.
As soon as the gate of Dongyu Sect was closed, the leaders of the forces outside and the heads of the noble families were furious. They shouted and cursed for a few words and then forced their way through the gate.
The mountain gate sent by Xi Yunting stood on the road to the inner gate of Dongyu Sect. It looked like an ordinary gatehouse on ordinary days. This gatehouse was exquisitely carved with beams and painted with buildings. There were three layers of painted beams, and each layer had ten paintings. The paintings were of auspicious beasts and legends of ascension. The reliefs on the beams and buildings depicted famous places for training and beautiful scenery on earth.
This beautiful gate archway makes everyone who enters Dongyu Sect stop and take a look, adding a touch of beauty to the lush courtyard.
As soon as the magic circle on the mountain gate was opened, the noisy sounds outside were immediately blocked out and could not be heard inside at all.
The mountain gate is of the highest level, strong enough to defend against the attack of a great warrior in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Several cultivators in the stages of fusion, separation, and out-of-body state attacked the mountain gate's defense shield with all their strength, but only caused a few ripples before being dissolved.
Several people acted out of hatred. As angry as they were at that time, they are as frightened now.
It felt as if they were going as a team to capture a sheep, and seemed certain to succeed, but suddenly an ancient ferocious beast emerged from the sheep's den!
Even they might not be able to afford a mountain gate of this level, but it appeared in a small sect.
The Dongyu sect’s foundation is deeper than they knew. Several people were all wondering in doubt, could Chen Xiao’s background be even more powerful?
They couldn't imagine, no matter how hard they tried, that Xi Yunting's financial resources alone could surpass the wealth of their entire family or clan combined.
At this moment, two figures flew over, they were Bai Ai and Tai Su.
The two men had cold expressions on their faces, and except for Old Master Zhuang who was standing in the front, everyone else couldn't help but shudder.
Bai Ai did not speak harshly. He just glanced at everyone with dignity and said in a deep voice: "My fellow Taoists, what do you mean by this? If you are dissatisfied with the relocation, you can discuss it with me. Why come here to disturb Master Nephew Chen?"
Others are afraid of the Chongxuan Sect, but Old Master Zhuang feels that his own cultivation level is equal to that of the two and is enough to be on equal footing with them.
He said angrily: "What else is there to discuss? You are using justice to pressure us, we are weak and alone, how dare we not obey. In the end, it is nothing more than the difference between relocating within 50 days and relocating within 100 days! Don't think we don't know, this is all designed by Chen Xiao, who knows what he is up to!"
Tai Su said coldly, "Are you questioning my character? I believe I am worthy of heaven and earth, and I have never done anything private! Zhuang Ji! How can I let you go when you insult me like this! Come on, let's have a fight. If you win, my Chongxuan Sect will not interfere!"
Old Master Zhuang choked. He was in the initial stage of fusion, but Tai Su had reached the late stage of fusion and perfection a hundred years ago. How could he possibly defeat him!
You said you don't protect others, but how can you just roll up your sleeves when you don't agree with someone? You don't give me any face at all!
He was annoyed and embarrassed, and did not dare to agree, so he said: "Master, you misunderstood! We dare not question you, but you may have been deceived and unintentionally helped the tyrant."
Bai Ai snorted coldly and said, "Are you saying that so many of us don't know how to think and have been deceived by a junior?"
Old Master Zhuang said angrily, "If it were anything else, a kid would not be able to deceive fellow practitioners. But this Feng Shui technique is something that only Chen Xiao knows in the entire cultivation world! Why didn't he choose other realms? Or other sects, and only come after us?"
The few people knew why they targeted them and not other sects. Later, Bai Ai and Tai Su also understood, so they naturally would not side with the outsiders who bullied Chen Xiao.
This kind of thing cannot be criticized, and Old Master Zhuang and the others have no way to protest. This is Chen Xiao's personal revenge!
The tightly closed door opened with a creak.
Chen Xiao came out with three disciples. He saluted Tai Su and Bai Ai, and said coldly to Old Master Zhuang: "Old Master Zhuang, I respect you as an elder of the righteous way and honor you as a senior. As for etiquette, Old Master Zhuang has lived for hundreds of years and should know more than the younger generation. How can you call people 'child' all the time? Isn't that rude?"
Old Master Zhuang laughed angrily and said, "You, the youngster, are the one who doesn't know etiquette! When your grandfather entered the Taoism and cultivated immortality, your ancestors might not have been born yet. So it's only natural for me to call you a child."
Chen Xiao shouted, "Master Zhuang! Please shut up! Master Taisu is my Taoist master, and Master Qingsong is my uncle! Master Zhuang calls himself grandpa, who is he trying to be superior to?!"
Old Master Zhuang was not serious for a moment and was held back by Chen Xiao.
This kind of advantage can be taken easily on normal days, but this time the slip of the tongue will be magnified and used as a reason to be attacked.
His heart skipped a beat, and when he looked at Taisu and Baiai, they were indeed angry. Old Master Zhuang felt very uncomfortable and wanted to apologize to them, but he couldn't save face after being scolded by Chen Xiao.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a purple Taoist robe came to his rescue. He bowed and said, "Please calm down, the Duke of Zhuang just blurted out in anger. Please don't hold it against the Duke of Zhuang because of this small mistake."
Bai Ai said angrily: "Forget it! We two brothers are not petty people!"
Old Master Zhuang had a way out and calmed down a bit. He realized that it was useless to argue with Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao had Tai Su and Bai Ai to back him up, so he was not afraid at all. Arguing was useless.
He said to Chen Xiao: "Chen Xiao! We came here this time to ask you. Why did you choose Luo Chen alone to borrow the power of the Heaven Realm? In terms of size, the largest of the seven Heaven Realms is Jing Xi."
Chen Xiao said expressionlessly: "Jing Xi is in the Extreme Territory. The distance is too far to borrow strength from him."
Old Master Zhuang said, "In terms of distance, Guangji is close to Luo Chen. It is better to consume the power of the evil heaven realm than to damage my righteous heaven realm, right? Who knows what adverse factors your power will have on Luo Chen's spiritual energy!"
Bai Ai's heart sank with worry, and he looked at Tai Su, fearing that he would be shaken by this. After all, Luochen Great Heaven Realm was the foundation of Chongxuan Sect. Compared with the foundation, losing a quarter of the source of life was nothing.
Chen Xiao immediately said: "Don't worry, the Feng Shui formation only serves to pull Tai Zhen back to its original position. Although the power borrowed from Luo Chen is great, the impact is minimal when it is distributed across the entire Heaven Realm. After all, the area of Luo Chen's Heaven Realm is more than a hundred times that of Tai Zhen."
He fixed his eyes on Old Master Zhuang's face and said solemnly, "I know what Old Master Zhuang meant. Unfortunately, Luo Chen is the most suitable candidate, no matter from the perspective of distance or strength. After all, Luo Chen and Tai Zhen can teleport to each other, and there is a natural passage between them. The small formation and the large formation can achieve twice the result with half the effort by relying on this natural passage, otherwise the cost will be even greater."
The choice of changing the heavenly realm was not the real purpose of Old Master Zhuang and others.
The man in the crimson-purple Taoist robe said, "Master Chen... Sect Leader Chen, as long as you are willing to redesign the small formation on Feiyan City to avoid our mansion, I can guarantee that you will get a satisfactory result afterwards."
This is tantamount to admitting defeat and giving in, as long as Chen Xiao is willing to let them go.
Moving out of the mansion will not cause them any serious damage, and the only loss will be some manpower and financial resources.
However, there was no place left for them in Feiyan City, so several families had to move to places far away from the city center.
The good land outside the city was owned by someone else. Those forces that were hostile to them secretly united and refused to let anyone sell them the land, hoping to take this opportunity to drive them out of this floating land.
This was a huge matter. Losing their base in the city and moving to the continent below would only cause them to lose face. Their livelihoods would be adversely affected, and their income and reputation would decrease, causing them to fall from a first-class immortal sect to a second-class one.
Chen Xiao could not have imagined these chain reactions, but he would not change his mind because of these soft words. He was not a saint who would repay evil with kindness!
He looked surprised, "Do you want to bribe Chen?" He refused righteously, "I'm sorry, Chen is powerless!" Anyway, he insisted that the designed small formation was the only possible solution.
Because Bai Ai and Tai Su were present, Old Master Zhuang and his companions tried to use force to coerce them but failed, and in the end they could only leave in shame.
If I had known this would happen, I would have never done it! Several people were filled with regret.
In order to stay in Feiyan City, they had to pay a huge amount of spirit stones to bribe the landlord and get him to agree to transfer the land to them.
The injury was so severe that it hurt deeply into my bones and marrow, and it took me over a hundred years to recover.
