Although Xiao Chen was mentally prepared after listening to what Lao Xiao said, he still didn't expect... that so many people would come to see him.
Moreover, some big shots cannot just be entertained by Lao Xiao. They come to see him.
For example, the leader of Lingxiao Sect, Jiang Lingyun, came in person.
Before, Lingxiao Sect’s elder Chen Li had been a witness to the life and death agreement on Cangxia Cliff, and he was also on good terms with him… Now that the Sect Master was here, how could he not see him?
What's more, Lingxiao Sect is one of the three sects and one of the strongest forces in the ancient martial arts world.
Even though he killed Qingyan Sect's leader Wei Lanzhe, it doesn't mean he can ignore the other three sects.
If it weren't for Wan Tu and Fang Liang, he would have to think carefully before killing Wei Lanzhe.
This is no longer just about killing one person, but about declaring a war with the Qingyan Sect.
So, when Jiang Lingyun arrived, Xiao Yi asked someone to call Xiao Chen.
"Master Xiao, we meet again."
Chen Li also came. When he saw Xiao Chen coming in, he greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, Elder Chen, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look younger again."
Xiao Chen also had a smile on his face, and he decided to strike first.
After all, the changes in Xiao Yi and the others can still be seen.
It’s always better for him to say it first than for others to bring it up!
"Um?"
Chen Li was stunned when he heard Xiao Chen's words. Has he become younger too?
Why didn't he notice it?
But when he arrived, he found that Xiao Yi and the others looked younger, especially the Black Wind Patriarch, whose gray hair had become darker.
"I am younger now? Could it be because of the great changes in the world?"
Chen Li was surprised and wanted to find a mirror to take a good look at himself.
“…”
Xiao Yi and others looked strange, thinking that Xiao Chen was such a bad boy.
"Haha, maybe. Everyone I look at seems young these days."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at the man in white robe next to Chen Li. He had some guesses about his identity.
This man looks to be around fifty years old, about the same age as Wei Lanzhe.
But he knew that this was only on the surface, and his actual age was definitely much older.
Practitioners of ancient martial arts have much better physical fitness than ordinary people, and naturally they generally look much younger.
If an ordinary person were someone of Lao Xiao's age... let alone using a wheelchair, the grass on his grave would probably be very tall.
"Really? This is what I felt when I met Brother Xiao and the others."
Chen Li took it seriously.
"Haha, Master Xiao, hello. I have heard of your name for a long time. It is well-known."
The man in white robe looked at Xiao Chen and spoke with a smile.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce... Sect Master Xiao, this is our Lingxiao Sect's Sect Master, Jiang Lingyun."
Chen Li slapped his forehead and introduced.
"Haha, Sect Master Jiang, I've heard a lot about you."
Xiao Chen bowed. He now had a basic understanding of the major forces in the ancient martial arts world, so he had naturally heard of Jiang Lingyun's name.
What surprised him was that Jiang Lingyun... was also a congenitally powerful person!
Wei Lanzhe is a congenitally strong person, probably because of Qingyun Tower, then what about Jiang Lingyun?
After a few greetings, everyone sat down.
"Master Xiao, the battle at Cangxia Cliff is known to the world... After I heard what Elder Chen said, I rushed here as soon as possible."
Jiang Lingyun looked at Xiao Chen and said with a smile.
"But I heard that you were injured, so I didn't come to disturb you right away... Now, looking at the state of Patriarch Xiao, he has recovered well."
"Haha, fortunately, it's just a minor injury."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"I'm a little surprised that Sect Master Jiang can come to Longhai."
"I am here for Qingyan Sect and Qingyun Tower."
Jiang Lingyun paused when he said this.
"Of course, I am here for Patriarch Xiao as well."
"Oh? Sect Master Jiang, what do you mean?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. Could it be that behind Lingxiao Sect, there is also a big force from the outside world standing?
What kind of lobbying does Jiang Lingyun want to do here today?
Or, representing that powerful force, want to cooperate with him?
"Before, the Heaven Beyond Heaven was not very visible, but with the changes in the world and various other reasons, many forces in the Heaven Beyond Heaven have begun to speed up their layout..."
Jiang Lingyun looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
As the leader of one of the three sects, he knew more than most people in the ancient martial arts world.
He had known about the existence of Tianwai Tian a long time ago and had a lot of understanding about it.
Originally, he thought that it would take at least ten to twenty years for the ancient martial arts world to know about the existence of Tianwai Tian.
Including Tianwaitian, they will not be high-profile for the time being, but will slowly lay out their plans.
But because of Xiao Chen's existence, he first passed down the "Guiyuan Divine Art", then overturned the table and killed Qingming Patriarch and others...all kinds of things will speed up Tianwai Tian's reaction.
Next, the ancient martial arts world will be in chaos.
Especially after the battle at Cangxia Cliff, the ancient martial arts world's vigilance and resistance to Tianwai Tian had reached a high level.
Similarly, the warriors' attention will be focused on the 'standing' Xiao Chen, and they will even make him a spiritual leader.
"Sect Master Jiang, can I ask you a question? What force is behind the Lingxiao Sect?"
After listening to Jiang Lingyun's words, Xiao Chen thought about it and decided not to beat around the bush and just get straight to the point.
"No."
Jiang Lingyun shook his head. He was not surprised that Xiao Chen asked this.
"Hmm? No?"
Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard Jiang Lingyun's words.
"Yes, at least not now."
Jiang Lingyun nodded.
"In the past, Lingxiao Sect had cooperated with the powerful force of Tianwaitian, but this powerful force was wiped out a hundred years ago."
"Reduced to ashes?"
Xiao Chen was even more surprised. Any force that could cooperate with Ling Xiao Sect must be very powerful.
It should be no weaker than Qingyun Tower.
Such existence, has disappeared?
"right."
Jiang Lingyun nodded and looked at Xiao Chen.
"I know that Patriarch Xiao suspects that many major forces in the ancient martial arts world have the shadow of the Heaven Beyond Heaven behind them... In fact, this is not the case. If they really were behind them, why would they need to make arrangements now? Of course, there are also many Heaven Beyond Heaven forces that have made arrangements a hundred years ago, or even earlier."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything. He thought of the Supreme Palace and the Qingyan Sect.
One is backed by the Tianji Sect, and the other is behind the Qingyun Tower.
In addition, there is Xingxiu Island where Lin Yue is located, which is also related to Xingluo Palace, one of the Nine Palaces.
This is just what he knows. How much more does he not know?
"In the past, it was more difficult for Tianwai Tian to get out, and those who got out were also weaker... So, if they want to make a plan, it's actually not that simple."
Jiang Lingyun continued.
"Normally, the two sides are just a kind of cooperation. As long as this kind of cooperation continues, it will be of great help to the forces outside the sky in the current environment."
After listening to Jiang Lingyun's words, Xiao Yi and the others looked at each other with some surprise.
Did the forces from outer space come out to make plans a long time ago?
Xiao Yi, in particular, felt quite uncomfortable.
You know, the Xiao family is one of the twelve aristocratic families and a major force in the ancient martial arts world!
Over the years, people from Tianwaitian have come out one after another to seek cooperation, but why... didn’t they look for the Xiao family?
Even if I come to him, he may not necessarily cooperate, but if I don’t come to him... wouldn’t it be looking down on the Xiao family?
"snort……"
Xiao Yi snorted coldly in his heart, forget it, don’t look for it, you looked down on the Xiao family many years ago... and you can’t afford to marry into the Xiao family now!
"Over the years, the Heaven Outer Heaven has actually been quite chaotic. The current structure has only been formed in the past 20 to 30 years... Lin Yue from Xingxiu Island should have come to see you and introduced you to the situation in the Heaven Outer Heaven, right? In fact, some of the forces he mentioned no longer exist. It's just that without major turmoil, there will be no new structure."
Jiang Lingyun looked at Xiao Chen and said.
“In twenty or thirty years, the situation will change?”
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"Is Tianwaitian so chaotic?"
"Yeah, it's a mess."
Jiang Lingyun nodded.
"The big force I just mentioned that we were cooperating with was also destroyed by several forces in a major reshuffle a hundred years ago."
“…”
Xiao Chen, Xiao Yi and others looked at each other. The chaos in Tianwai Tian was beyond their imagination.
But Lin Yue didn't mention this to them.
"Master Xiao didn't agree to cooperate with Xingxiu Island, right?"
Jiang Lingyun asked.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
“I don’t have any idea about cooperation.”
“Although it is said that the world will change drastically and many forces from the outer world will emerge, this is an irreversible trend, but I suggest that Sect Master Xiao wait and see.”
Jiang Lingyun said slowly.
"Especially since you have offended Qingyun Tower, you should be more careful."
Xiao Chen nodded. He still hadn't figured out Jiang Lingyun's purpose for coming here.
"I came here just to get to know Patriarch Xiao, and also to make plans for the future."
Jiang Lingyun saw Xiao Chen staring at him and smiled slightly.
"I want to stand, too."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was stunned. He wanted to stand too?
"Longmen has the qualifications to become an ally of Lingxiao Sect, so I came here."
Jiang Lingyun picked up the teacup and took a sip.
“In the coming chaos, I want to establish an alliance with Patriarch Xiao… Otherwise, how can we resist the great power of the Heavenly World?”
"Alliance?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Haha, I'm grateful that Sect Master Jiang thinks highly of me. Of course, there is no problem on my side... However, the alliance between the two major forces is not established by just a few words."
"certainly."
Jiang Lingyun nodded.
"Next, I will stay in Longhai for some time... I just have an idea. We will slowly study the details."
"Can."
Xiao Chen agreed. If Lingxiao Sect was really like what Jiang Lingyun said, then establishing an alliance would be a strong alliance.
But... he is not a rookie, so he can't just do whatever Jiang Lingyun says.
What if this is a trap?
Just when they were about to talk about this topic again, someone came to report that Xuan Kong from Xuantian Sect had arrived.
"I'll go?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"Haha, we are old friends, so of course we have to meet."
Xiao Chen smiled. It seemed that he really couldn't have a rest any longer.
"Master Jiang, you and Xuan Kong must be old acquaintances, right? Let's meet each other."
"good."
Jiang Lingyun nodded. Although he was younger than Xuankong in terms of generation, his status was still there.
Moreover, he had received news before that the leader of Xuantian Sect had also arrived in Longhai.
This time Xuankong probably didn't come alone.
He also wanted to see what Xuantian Sect was thinking and what plans it had.
