Chapter 351: Old Friends
Recalling the star map he had obtained from Zhu Zifeng, Li Danxi and others, Chai Xin quickly found a source of life.
This is not a very big planet, even slightly smaller than the Earth, but it is quite prosperous and is a transit station on the ancient trial road of the human race.
Many geniuses who set out on the ancient road would rest and transit here.
Chai Xin had no intention of staying here and went straight to the domain gate, but he unexpectedly heard a piece of news where the domain gate was.
The square in front of the domain gate was bustling with people, but every voice that fell into Chai Xin's ears was in order, without interfering with each other, and could be heard clearly.
"I can't believe that someone who has reached the end of his life span actually achieved a breakthrough! He is a quasi-emperor! I thought that the Liu family would never recover and gradually decline after losing the imperial soldiers, but I didn't expect that they would have such good fortune!"
A seven-foot-tall, heroic young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes stood with his hands behind his back, communicating with his companions around him with an emotional look on his face.
"Who says it's not true? It is said that the ancestor Liu Xuanfeng is already over 7,300 years old. It seems that he will soon die of old age..."
Next to that man, another burly man with a high nose and a wide mouth also nodded in disbelief.
"Perhaps because he lost the imperial weapon and was unable to do anything to Chai Wudi who came from the Burial Emperor Star, he was filled with worry and anger day and night, which stimulated his potential beyond imagination."
"If that's what you said, then shouldn't the Liu family's ancestor be grateful to Chai Wudi? Come to think of it, Chai Wudi, who was originally thought to be just a grassroots, actually came from the ancient Jiang family, and is the second ancestor of the family... It's really a legend!"
The young man with sword-like eyebrows smiled slightly, revealing a fascinated look as he spoke.
“It’s strange to say, since he took the Liu family’s God-killing Halberd, it has been nearly two hundred years, and he has never shown up again… I really don’t know what level of cultivation he has reached now. Can he compete with the great saints such as Emperor Tian and the great demon god Gu Huang?”
"They are smart. They have already got the benefits and have the protection of their family. They have no shortage of cultivation resources. Why should they come out and face all the tricks of the Liu family? You know, it is said that Liu Xuanfeng gathered seven or eight great saint friends to encircle and suppress him!"
The big man was spitting all over the place, talking as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
"What a pity. We have prepared so many methods, but we haven't even found the hair of the enemy! Recently, there are rumors that after the ancestor of the Liu family was promoted to the Quasi-Emperor, he is ready to go to the Jiang family to ask for an explanation. That is an imperial weapon, and no one can easily let it go..."
The big man was halfway through his words when his expression suddenly froze. He looked behind the young man with sword-like eyebrows and revealed a look of astonishment.
The young man with sword-like eyebrows raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Just as he was about to turn around, he heard a calm voice behind him: "May I ask my two friends, is it true that Liu Xuanfeng has achieved the status of a quasi-emperor?"
The person who came was none other than Chai Xin who came to inquire about the news.
After Chai Xin finished speaking, he looked at the big man steadily with a polite smile on his face.
"This... is of course true. The Liu family has already announced this to the world, so everyone in the universe knows about it. The Liu family even held a thirty-day banquet to celebrate this good fortune. All the elders on the Ancient Road went. How could it be false?"
The young man with sword-like eyebrows looked at Chai Xin and spoke with some surprise, as if he was wondering how someone could not even know about such a big thing.
"In recent years, the Liu family's prestige has been declining. Of course, they can't wait to announce this news to boost the confidence of the family members and restore their prestige... Why do you ask this question, brother?"
Chai Xin smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you for telling me. I have been in seclusion for several years and have just come out. I was quite surprised to hear you two talking about this matter, so I asked you. By the way, does Liu Xuanfeng really want to go to the Jiang family of the Burial Emperor Star to ask for an explanation? Even if he is a quasi-emperor, how can he have the courage to do so?"
The Jiang family is an ancient family that truly produced a great emperor. Not to mention that they control the Hengyu Divine Furnace, an ultimate imperial weapon, there must be quasi-emperors among their dormant heritage alone.
Even if Liu Xuanfeng managed to break through by chance, he had only just entered the quasi-emperor realm. Even the imperial soldiers of his clan had been lost long ago. How could he have the courage to go to the Jiang family to demand an explanation?
"Brother, you don't know that the Jiang family, as an ancient family, forcibly took the imperial weapons of others, which made many powerful people in the Gulu high-level dissatisfied. In the past, the Liu family was too weak and they lacked the courage to ask for an explanation. Now that the ancestor of the Liu family has become a quasi-emperor and intends to go and ask for punishment, how can the Gulu high-level officials sit idly by?"
The young man with sword-like eyebrows seemed to be very familiar with the situation between the major forces on the ancient road, and his answers were very coherent.
“What’s more, the ancient heroes are already dissatisfied with the many ancient families on the Buried Emperor Star, otherwise they would not have joined forces to target the geniuses who came from the Buried Emperor Star… Although the elders at the highest level will not end up in the fight between the younger generations, since the matter involves the Quasi-Emperor and the Emperor’s soldiers, the nature of it is extremely serious, and they will naturally take care of it.”
"So that's how it is. He actually has the support of the top leaders of Gulu..."
Chai Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, agreeing with this statement in his heart, and then clasped his fists again.
"Thank you very much. I have something else to do. Goodbye!"
After saying this, his figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of the domain gate and stepped into it.
"Brother, I'm just trying to get some information, why are you acting like that?"
Seeing that his friend in front of him still had that incredible and surprised expression on his face and never said a word, the young man with sword-like eyebrows asked in some confusion.
When the big man saw Chai Xin disappear, he swallowed his saliva and said slowly in a somewhat dry voice: "Don't you think... that person just now looks familiar?"
"Looks familiar? Well, if you put it that way, it does seem like I've seen him somewhere..."
Upon hearing this, the young man with sword-like eyebrows also showed a look of reminiscence on his face.
The big man flipped his hand and took out a piece of silk cloth about a foot square, on which was painted a lifelike portrait.
Below the portrait, there was a line of large black characters written:
"This person's name is Chai Xin. The Liu family has now issued a starry sky wanted order, and is looking for his whereabouts indefinitely... Anyone who has accurate information and can be confirmed will be rewarded handsomely..."
"Shibain?!"
The young man with sword-like eyebrows took only a glance at the portrait, immediately jumped up, and could not help but let out a low cry.
"He actually showed up at this time and asked about the Liu family?"
The astonishment on the big man's face gradually faded, and a sly smile that didn't quite fit his face suddenly appeared on his face. He whispered: "This is an indefinite wanted order. We have stumbled upon an opportunity this time..."
"You don't want to report to the Liu family, do you? The reward is certainly tempting, but Chai Xin and the ancient Jiang family behind him are not easy to deal with. If he knew about this..."
The young man with sword-like eyebrows was startled when he heard this, and his expression was a little conflicted.
"This person has been hiding for three decades. How could he show up today without any reason? Do you believe that even if we don't report his whereabouts, the news of his birth will soon be known to the world? It is also an opportunity that we can know his whereabouts first."
The big man looks honest and simple, but he is actually very thoughtful.
"As the saying goes, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences. If you don't go, I will!" "Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't say I won't go. I just have some concerns..."
As they talked, they quickly rushed towards another domain gate not far away.
Chai Xin had no idea what these two men were thinking, but what the big man said was basically correct. He had no intention of keeping a low profile when he returned to Zhatian this time.
If he was worried about his whereabouts being known, he would have used the Yuantian secret technique to change his appearance immediately instead of walking around with his real face.
"The Holy Body reached the end of the human race's path, and disappeared after inscribing its name on the crystal monument. It has only been a few years since then...
"It was sixty years ago that the Beidou demon race and the human race signed an alliance to jointly deal with the ancient races..."
"With the support of the top leaders of Gulu, Liu Xuanfeng issued an ultimatum to the Jiang family of the Burial Emperor Star, demanding that they hand over the God-killing Halberd within ten days, otherwise they will come to the Jiang family to seek instruction..."
Chai Xin arrived at the 30th city of the human race through the domain gate and immediately received a lot of confusing news.
Generally speaking, although the 170 years since he was away were a turbulent golden age with the emergence of many geniuses and heroes, there were no major disturbances.
It has been confirmed that the road to becoming an immortal has not yet been opened, and the dark turmoil has not yet occurred.
"If the plot inertia is still there, Ye Fan should have gone to Ziwei Star Region again. Even if not, with his status as the protagonist's aura, there will be no surprises. I'd better go back to Beidou first to see Master, and Ruyu and the others..."
Thinking of his long-lost old friend, Chai Xin felt both worried and a little guilty.
He disappeared for more than 170 years without leaving a single word. To Yan Ruyu, this was really unfair...
However, he had just snatched the God-killing Spear and was surrounded by dangers. If he rashly returned to Beidou, he might bring trouble to the other party.
Furthermore, Chai Xin had not expected that the speed of time flow between the Eternal World and the Heaven-Chushing World would differ by so many times.
"I originally wanted to find a place to improve my cultivation, but now these old guys on the Ancient Road are looking for trouble with the Jiang family... Hehe, I can just give them a big gift!"
Chai Xin embarked on the journey back to Beidou again. Thinking of the scene when Liu Xuanfeng saw him, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a malicious smile.
After not seeing each other for three decades, he decided to use the old method to give his long-lost opponents a real gift - a deadly gift!
At the other end of the starry sky, in the East Wilderness of Beidou, is the land of the Jiang family.
Now, after nearly two hundred years of evolution, the structure of the Big Dipper star field has regained stability. Especially after Gai Jiuyou's move that year, it completely shocked the ancient tribes who had always been arrogant.
With the arrival of the Golden Age, many unprecedented geniuses emerged among the human race. Each of them was no less capable than any ancient clan, which made those ancient clans completely lower their proud heads.
Especially as the restrictions above the level of Slashing Dao gradually loosened, everyone realized that the so-called Half-Step Great Powers and Great Powers were actually just a joke...
Aristocratic families like the Jiang family that had produced a great emperor had become even more transcendent in status, and many holy places had already taken the initiative to approach them.
Places like the Purple Mansion Holy Land and the Taichu Holy Land all sensed that there would be a catastrophe after the great age, and formed offensive and defensive alliances with the Jiang family and the Demon Emperor's lineage headed by Yan Ruyu.
Recently, the news that the ancient human race is going to take action against the Jiang family has spread throughout the universe. Several major holy places and the demon race have sent heavyweight figures to the Jiang family to discuss the matter together.
"Thank you all for your concern, but the Liu family of Gulu, who has lost even the Jidao Emperor's weapon, still wants to provoke my Jiang family. It is undoubtedly a foolish dream. There is no need to pay too much attention to it."
In the hall, Jiang Ren, the current saint of the Jiang family, sat at the first seat. He clasped his fists to everyone from afar and looked very calm.
More than a hundred years have passed. As the restrictions on cultivation have gradually relaxed, this powerful being has already succeeded in breaking through the Dao. Now he has successfully entered the Saint Realm and is only a stone's throw away from the Saint King's Capital.
The first person below him was a beautiful woman with a slender figure, extraordinary temperament and peerless appearance. She was the current great elder of the demon clan - Qin Yao.
As the first female envoy beside Yan Ruyu, Qin Yao has been practicing for many years and has all kinds of resources. In addition, she has the guidance of famous teachers, such as Li Danxi, Zhu Zifeng, and the five saint kings of alien races. Now she has successfully cut off the Dao and her strength is not weak!
Judging from the seating arrangement and the expressions of everyone present, Qin Yao's status here seems to be second only to Jiang Ren.
But everyone knew that this was not only because of her cultivation, but more importantly because of the identity of the young lady in her family - the fiancée of the second ancestor of the Jiang family!
It is said that Yan Ruyu had already killed the Dao a hundred years ago, and fifty years ago she even killed several people from the Liu family who came from outer space.
The strength of those people is at the peak of the Saint Realm!
Now another fifty years have passed, and no one can estimate how advanced that peerless beauty has become.
Moreover, even without mentioning her cultivation level, her status as the fiancée of the second ancestor of the Jiang family is enough to earn her the highest courtesy in the Jiang family. Jiang Ren would pay homage to her respectfully whenever he saw her!
With Yan Ruyu's identity, Qin Yao naturally received extraordinary treatment when she arrived at the Jiang family.
"Senior Jiang's words make sense, but the Liu family dared to come this time. Obviously, it's not just as simple as Liu Xuanfeng's promotion to Quasi-Emperor. There must be more people behind it... May I ask if Senior Divine King can return to ensure that everything is safe?"
Qin Yao slightly opened her red lips, and her voice was like jade beads falling on a plate, crisp and capable.
"Yes, if Senior Divine King can come back, then everything will be settled!"
"During this troubled time, only with Senior Divine King in charge can we rest assured."
Upon hearing this, the others also echoed it.
"I have sent a message to the ancestor, but there has been no response so far. I think it must be at a very critical juncture. No matter what, you can rest assured that even if the ancestor does not return, my Jiang family has the ability to deal with this crisis."
Jiang Ren said very frankly.
Qin Yao nodded and immediately said, "Don't worry, senior. I was just giving you a suggestion. No matter what the situation is, we, the Qing Emperor family, will not change our original intention and will stick together with the Jiang family!"
"So do we!"
Representatives from other major holy places immediately followed suit and expressed their opinions.
