NOVPUB"What Su Family? I don't know what you're talking about. I've only been in the organization for twelve years, so I don't know what happened twenty years ago."
The man said with a puzzled expression:
"I don't even know who your mother is!"
"If that's the case, then there's no need for you to stay alive!"
Su Chen's face turned cold, a flash of chilling light, and the man's throat was cut open, blood gushing out!
"You... you..."
The man clutched his neck with one hand, pointed at Su Chen with the other, but suddenly both hands dropped down, clearly dead.
Afterward, Su Chen made a phone call to Qin Ming, asking him to handle the aftermath, while he drove away.
"Su Chen, how did you get involved with Shengyi Gate?"
In the car, Yan Xi couldn't help but ask.
Earlier, Yan Xi didn't hear the conversation between Su Chen and the man because she was too far away and sitting in the car.
"You know about Shengyi Gate too?"
Su Chen glanced at Yan Xi and asked.
"Of course, Shengyi Gate is a very powerful force in the Martial Arts World, even our Hidden Dragon Hall usually doesn't want to provoke them."
Yan Xi pouted.
"So powerful? What is the Martial Arts World?"
Su Chen, hearing about the Martial Arts World for the first time, asked.
"The Martial Arts World is just a general term referring to the circle formed by forces based on martial arts. However, at least the forces with cultivators at the Meridian Expansion Realm can claim to be part of the Martial Arts World."
Yan Xi looked at Su Chen and said:
"For instance, those forces in the Dark World, hardly any have cultivators at the Meridian Expansion Realm, so they can't be considered part of the Martial Arts World."
"What forces are there in the Martial Arts World?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
He also understood now that his previous belief of the Nether Temple Hall Master being nearly invincible was utterly mistaken!
Since he started retraining, he realized that the world is vast, with many impressive people and forces!
It is said "there's always someone better," and that saying is indeed true!
"There are many forces. I'm not very familiar with the foreign ones, but within Huaxia, several Martial Arts Families are considered part of the Martial Arts World. For example, the Wei Family and Zhou Family in Jiangnan; the Sun Family and Wei Family in Jiangbei; the Zhang Family in the Northeast, and so on, though few know of their existence."
Yan Xi, despite her young age, was from the Hidden Dragon Hall, and hence knew more than Su Chen. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Often hearing others discuss, she naturally knew a lot.
She listed them as if counting treasures:
"However, most of these Martial Arts Families are relatively weak in the Martial Arts World. Within Huaxia, several powerful forces exist, like Lingyue Palace, Shengyi Gate, and our Hidden Dragon Hall, which belong to the Martial Arts World. These three are the top-notch existences in the Martial Arts World, though we are somewhat special, with a semi-official status."
"Also, there are sects like Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, which are part of the Martial Arts World too, but they have even less contact with the outside world, only occasionally having individuals train in the secular world. Except when the nation faces a dire crisis, they rarely come out."
Yan Xi's words seemed to open a window for Su Chen, showing him a whole new world!
There are so many impressive people and forces in this world!
"What else do you know about Shengyi Gate?"
Su Chen was now most concerned about Shengyi Gate, other forces, no matter how powerful, were irrelevant at the moment.
"I don't know much, but I once heard Uncle Yao say that Shengyi Gate used to be called the Holy Sect."
Yan Xi frowned slightly and said:
"Around twenty-one or twenty-two years ago, some changes occurred, leading to the name change to Shengyi Gate."
"What changes?"
Su Chen asked nervously, sensing that these changes might be related to the answers he sought!
"I don't know. If you get a chance, you can ask Uncle Yao when you come with me, he might know."
Yan Xi shook her head and then looked at Su Chen:
"By the way, you haven't told me how you got involved with Shengyi Gate, what token are they looking for?"
"I'll tell you later."
Su Chen took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and fell into contemplation.
Seeing that he wasn't willing to talk, Yan Xi didn't press further.
"I'm telling you, be careful. You killed someone from Shengyi Gate; they won't let you off easily."
After a while, Yan Xi said worriedly.
"They won't let me off? I won't let them off either!"
Su Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance!
"Su Chen, Shengyi Gate isn't as easy to deal with as the Five Great Families. They probably underestimated your strength, which is why they sent these few people."
Yan Xi hurriedly said after hearing Su Chen's words:
"But Shengyi Gate is full of experts. If they send more experts next time, you might not be able to withstand them!"
"If soldiers come, we'll block them; if water comes, we'll cover it with earth. What's the big deal!"
Su Chen shrugged.
Though he spoke with apparent ease, he actually felt enormous pressure.
From Yan Xi's words, he understood more clearly how powerful Shengyi Gate was!
Shengyi Gate was completely different from the few families. Su Chen began to fear its backing force, Hidden Dragon Hall, rather than the families themselves.
Since Hidden Dragon Hall stated it wouldn't interfere, the families posed no threat to Su Chen; it's just about how far he wanted to go!
Shengyi Gate, however, was entirely different, as it itself was almost on par with Hidden Dragon Hall in terms of sheer power!
Su Chen drove Yan Xi not to the company but directly home.
"The Yuan Qi here is so abundant!"
As soon as she stepped into the small courtyard of the villa, Yan Xi couldn't help but say:
"The Yuan Qi here is much denser than usual places."
"I arranged a Formation here to absorb all the surrounding Yuan Qi."
Su Chen smiled and said. He had recently modified the small Gathering Yuan Formation into a medium-sized one, including one in the estate.
"Formation? You can arrange Formations!"
Yan Xi exclaimed upon hearing Su Chen's words, her eyes filled with disbelief!
It's known that the Way of Formation is vast and profound, and among cultivators, those who understand Formation are one in ten thousand!
Even in Hidden Dragon Hall, she heard that only the Hall Master knew some basic Formations, and old Wei didn't understand the Way of Formation.
But a Formation capable of gathering Yuan Qi clearly isn't basic, and the Hall Master probably can't achieve this!
Yan Xi looked at him, feeling deeply shaken!
Such cultivation at a young age, and understanding Formation!
This man is indeed mysterious!
