Chapter 475: Lord Haoxuan
The scale of Qingning City is almost the same as Shenning City, and it is slightly more prosperous. However, compared with Taining City of Taiyi Sect, it is slightly inferior in all aspects.
Chai Xin stood on the clouds, looking at the city below, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, these guys have already received the news, and the guardian formation has been activated ahead of time."
In the city below, people from all sides were on high alert.
Especially in the inner city temple, there was a middle-aged Taoist with long beard, wearing a black Taoist robe, holding a three-foot green sword, and his whole body was glowing with fiery red divine light.
Chai Xin immediately realized that the man was the master of the protective formation of this city. He had already mobilized the power of faith in the temple and started the formation running.
The entire Qingning City is covered by a layer of light red clouds, which contains powerful magic power and is as solid as a rock.
This attitude of facing a formidable enemy could certainly not be a coincidence. He must have received the news from Taining City.
Chai Xin's previous actions of transcending tribulations and killing people were so shocking that the entire Yongning Prefecture was in turmoil. It was not surprising that the people of Sanqing Mountain found out about it.
If the commotion was so big, and yet Sanqing Mountain still looked clueless and unprepared, that would be truly bizarre.
"Master Jiang! I already know that you are a natural talent, and your strength is even higher. However, now that you have passed the tribulation, you no longer have tribulations to draw strength from. Are you still going to insist on doing it on your own?"
In the inner city, the Taoist in black robe immediately sensed the spatial fluctuations outside the city and recognized Chai Xin at a glance.
His figure flashed and he came to the sky above Qingning City, holding a red fairy sword. When he spoke, there was neither contempt nor solemnity on his face, only indifference and calmness.
What he said was true. Although Chai Xin successfully overcame the tribulation, the waves he could create were much inferior to those when he overcame the tribulation.
At that time, with the power of the heavenly tribulation, he even had the ability to break through the protective formation of a main city.
But now, he had absolutely no chance of shaking the protective formation of Qingning City before him.
Therefore, the Taoist in black robe appeared to be extremely calm.
However, he had obviously learned about Chai Xin's deeds in Taining City, so he was very serious at this moment.
"You are right. I really don't have the power to break through the city's defenses. However, you, Sanqingshan, were at fault first. What's wrong with me seeking justice?"
Chai Xin looked calm, and in a flash he was only a stone's throw away from Qingning City.
"You and the Taiyi Sect not only refused to offer a hundred saints as promised as an apology... but you made one mistake after another and sent people to kill us. As the lord of a city, I naturally cannot remain indifferent!"
As he spoke, his eyes became colder and colder as he swept across the city below.
"Once the protective formation is set in motion, this city will be cut off from both inside and outside, and the losses at every moment are incalculable. Even if I cannot break into the city, I can seal it off for a month by myself, which can also serve as a warning to the lawless people in the world!"
Having said that, Chai Xin actually waved his hand to summon a throne, and sat down on it in the void in front of Qingning City.
"Either you offer fifty saints to make amends, or I close the city for a month. It's up to you to decide."
This time he went alone against Taiyi Sect and Sanqing Mountain, one reason was to seek revenge, two was to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits, and three was to enhance his reputation in Shenzhou Sect. It can be said that he achieved three goals with one stone.
Just as Yi Zu said at the beginning, even though he was extremely talented and had a good master, he was a newcomer after all.
If one does not make some achievements, it will be extremely difficult to hold a more important position or even be truly recognized by many senior officials of Shenzhou Gate.
As the forum leader these days, he has also thought about many things that he had never considered in the past.
In these troubled times, he may be strong, but it is not advisable for him to fight the whole world alone.
The Taiyi Sect alone could easily take his life if they were determined.
It would be better to hold a high position in the Shenzhou Sect, and with the support of Yi Zu, even if there is a conflict with the Taiyi Sect, he will have something to rely on.
Moreover, on the surface, even if the Taiyi Sect wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, they would not dare to use any means necessary.
In addition, due to his past hostility towards the Taiyi Sect, he also indirectly had conflicts with the Heavenly Court.
But now that he has become a member of the Shenzhou Sect, and the Shenzhou Sect is at least nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, the conflict between him and the Heavenly Court is nothing at all.
As for killing a few Divine Prison law enforcers, it was not a big deal at all.
Even within the Heavenly Palace, there is no harmony. Similar fights occur every day and are simply too numerous to mention.
In the past, when Chai Xin was a lone ranger, killing disciples of the Heavenly Prison was tantamount to challenging the majesty of heaven.
But now he is the descendant of Yi Zu, the founder of the Shenzhou Sect, and the conflicts he has with Shenyu are at most minor frictions between different forces in the same camp.
Although both sides are dissatisfied, they will exercise restraint for the sake of the overall situation.
Moreover, ever since the news that Chai Xin was accepted as Yi Zu's closed disciple spread, even the princes of Taiyi Sect who had coveted the treasures on him at the beginning put aside their thoughts for the time being.
Of course, with Chai Xin's current strength, even among the many children of the Taiyi Sect's Disaster Emperor, there are not many who can defeat him.
"Master Jiang's behavior is too arrogant."
The Taoist in black robe had a solemn look on his face, the sword in his hand trembled slightly, and anger gradually appeared in his eyes.
“Do you think that you can use the power of the heavenly tribulation to intimidate the heroes of Taiyi Sect and really fight against the supreme immortals? I am holding the formation to defend, which is already a mercy. Don’t be obsessed with it.”
The emotion in these words was no longer as peaceful as before, and there was already a threat in them.
What he said was not wrong. Although Chai Xin now had the ability to compete with the Supreme Immortals, he was still powerless when facing the best among the Supreme Immortals.
One careless move may result in death.
"I am arrogant? You guys repeatedly pressured me, colluded with Taiyi Sect, and attacked our main city. Isn't that arrogant? I am just repaying a grievance with justice. How can I be called arrogant?"
Facing the threat from the Taoist priest in black robe, Chai Xin looked very calm. He leaned back in his chair with a scornful smile in his eyes.
"If you are dissatisfied, you can just come out and kill me. Why waste your time on all this nonsense!"
"I don't want to kill such a rare young talent, but since someone wants to die, I can't refuse."
The black-robed Taoist's face turned completely dark. He pinched a seal with his left hand, removed a corner of the guardian formation, and turned to look at the many younger generations who were watching nervously in the inner city.
"You guys take charge of this formation for now, I will go and kill this ignorant kid, lest people think that there is no one in Sanqing Mountain."
"Yes!"
"As ordered!"
Everyone immediately took orders.
"The one who wants to take your life is Master Hao Xuan!"
The moment he left the formation, the black-robed Taoist shouted coldly, and his figure turned into a stream of light, rushing straight towards Chai Xin. The mighty magic power was like a torrent, instantly filling up all the void within a radius of ten thousand miles, causing all the stars in the sky to tremble, and cracks in space appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Normally speaking, with the strength of the Taoist in black robe, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it would be a piece of cake for him to kill a little fellow like Chai Xin who had just entered the realm of sainthood.
Even if Chai Xin knew that his strength was comparable to many supreme immortals, he would still be powerless when facing such a leader among the supreme immortals, and would hardly be able to contend with him.
Because of this, the black-robed Taoist had the confidence to step out of the city, hand over the guardian formation to someone else, and fight Chai Xin.
In everyone's opinion, even though Chai Xin had extraordinary talent, his strength could never be compared with that of an old immortal.
The reason why it could cause such a threat to Taining City was ultimately because it borrowed the power of the heavenly calamity.
If it were to rely on his personal strength, it would be quite difficult for him to face off against a few half-step immortals.
Now that the catastrophe is over, even if his own strength has improved, even if it has increased tenfold, how can he be a match for the black-robed Taoist "Hao Xuan Zhenjun"?
The strength of Master Hao Xuan is extremely rare even among the supreme immortals, and it is easy for him to fight against many enemies alone.
However, what happened next shocked everyone.
"Although you are not weak, I'm afraid you are still a little short of taking my life."
Chai Xin leaned against the chair, gently waved his robe sleeves, and the Xuanhuang Seal suddenly appeared, bursting with the rich power of Xirang.
"Ok?"
The confident Master Hao Xuan suddenly felt an overwhelming force sweeping over him, which instantly weakened his strength by nearly 20%!
This is not the end yet. Chai Xin lightly pointed a finger into the void not far in front of him.
"Buzz!"
A crystal clear and holy seal suddenly appeared in the void, and its clear light was as bright as moonlight, completely covering the space around Chai Xin, as if it was a world of its own.
This is the power of the divine jade of creation!
With the dual blessing of the power of the Divine Jade of Creation and the power of the Xirang, the originally large gap between the two sides was actually narrowed down.
The sword of Master Haoxuan, which shone with a dazzling cold light, finally landed on the Xuanhuang Seal, making only a loud "clang" sound and causing an earth-shattering explosion.
However, when the surging aftermath of the explosion dissipated, everyone was shocked to find that Chai Xin was still sitting comfortably on the throne, with not even a corner of his clothes ruffled.
"You are a saintly immortal who has just passed the tribulation. How can you block my sword? What kind of magical power did you use, or did Yi Zu give you a treasure to protect you?"
After a brief moment of distraction, True Lord Haoxuan came to his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Chai Xin more carefully.
In his opinion, with Chai Xin's current level of cultivation, he could barely resist an ordinary immortal, which already made him a monster.
But now, he could even take on his unreserved sword with ease, which definitely could not be due to his own strength.
In fact, his guess was not wrong. Chai Xin could now fight against him, a leader among the immortals, with his cultivation level of a beginner saint, thanks to the two treasures, the Divine Jade of Creation and the Xuanhuang Seal.
However, these two treasures were cultivated with Chai Xin's life, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are his own strength.
After all, when calculating the strength of any cultivator, it is impossible to ignore any of his magic weapons.
"That's interesting. Don't you, Hao Xuan Zhenjun, use any magical powers or magic weapons when you fight against the enemy? If you can kill me, just come on. If not... just go back and be a turtle!"
When things evolved to this point, Chai Xin finally lost his friendly expression and the sarcasm on his face was not concealed at all.
"It seems that behemoths like Sanqing Mountain and Taiyi Sect are already accustomed to bullying the weak, and they don't feel ashamed at all."
As soon as these words were spoken, the momentum of everyone in Sanqing Mountain froze.
Even Master Hao Xuan was speechless for a moment before he said in a cold voice: "You act so lawless, who in this world can tolerate you? If you leave now, I will naturally not force you to stay."
"What a joke! Looking at the entire fairy world, who can be more lawless than you? You wantonly send people to kill our sect's main city. Such a cruel and insane act is simply appalling!"
Chai Xin's voice was like a huge bell, spreading across billions of miles. Even infinite space could not block his voice.
"Also, don't flatter yourself... You won't force me to stay? With your limited skills, can you really keep me here? If you have the guts, why not chase me away!"
As soon as the words fell, the figure leaning on the throne suddenly sat up straight, and his aura rose again, not inferior to that of the Taoist in black robe.
"What kind of cunning tricks did this damned kid use to become so strong..."
Master Hao Xuan finally realized the feeling of being in a dilemma and for a moment he was in a dilemma.
He knew very well that with Chai Xin's current strength, it was almost impossible for him to defeat the other party.
However, if we retreat back to the city, wouldn't that be a loss of face? How can we face the younger generation in our sect again?
At this moment, the void suddenly fluctuated again, and several loud shouts were heard.
"You little bastard, how dare you harm our ancestor? This is a crime that cannot be forgiven. I will take you back to be punished today!"
"This fairyland is so big, how can a junior like you be allowed to act recklessly?"
"Master Haoxuan, please do not disturb us. This little thief is vicious and stubborn. We are here to help you!"
In an instant, five figures with extraordinary momentum emerged from the depths of the void. They were the five supreme immortals who came to help from Taiyi Sect.
In terms of individual strength, these five people are naturally far inferior to Master Haoxuan, but in this matter, the five of them are in a three-way tie with the five elements, and the power they unleash is not much inferior to that of the other party.
"So you are a fellow Taoist from Taiyi Sect. I am sorry for not greeting you in person!"
Seeing the figures of these five people, Master Haoxuan's originally solemn expression immediately relaxed, and his tone was filled with joy.
Seeing these five people coming, Chai Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no panic in his eyes, as if he had expected it.
Since he chose to attack Taiyi Sect, it is not surprising that he is now pursued by powerful enemies.
"But considering the time, the reinforcements from our Shenzhou Sect should be arriving soon..."
Just as Chai Xin was thinking of this, he suddenly heard a loud and heroic laugh echoing between heaven and earth.
"Hahaha... How dare you, a bunch of rats, make such arrogant statements? Today, I want to see who among you can hurt Junior Master Uncle in the slightest!"
As the words rang out, a young man in golden armor appeared, not far from Chai Xin.
After saying this, the young man ignored the expressions of others and bowed to Chai Xin, saying, "Disciple Xiao Tianchen, under the order of the Elders Council, comes to help Master Uncle!"
The young man in golden armor was none other than Xiao Tianchen, who followed the five supreme immortals from Taiyi Sect.
