"A shop!" Suddenly, Xuanyuan Zhan shouted from behind him. It contained power, and then a wave of energy surged behind Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen frowned slightly, but he did not stop. He continued to move forward, but Long Xuan, who was on his shoulder, quietly released an invisible Battle Qi to intercept Xuanyuan Zhan's Battle Qi. At the same time, Long Xuan's lazy voice sounded,"This guy's strength isn't bad. He's a grade five swordmaster.”
Seeing that his Battle Qi had been dissolved, Xuanyuan Zhan was slightly surprised. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face. He praised his cousin in his heart. This cousin was indeed powerful. No wonder even his second uncle was full of praise. It seemed that the news of him defeating the ancestor of the Ouyang family was true. Suddenly, Xuanyuan Zhan had the urge to fight with Xuanyuan Chen. However, this impulse was quickly suppressed by him because he had a mission today, which was to invite Xuanyuan Chen back to see the clan leader.
Sighing lightly, he thought to himself that it seemed like what his second uncle had said was true. His cousin was biased against the Xuanyuan family and it would not be easy to persuade him to return. Thus, he recalled the instructions his second uncle had given him before he came, and he said indifferently,"Don't you want to know about your parents?”
Xuanyuan Chen, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped when he heard this. His body trembled a few times and he slowly turned around. His eyes narrowed and he stared coldly at Xuanyuan Zhan.
Xuanyuan Zhan, however, was calm and looked at Xuanyuan Chen with a smile. In his heart, he was impressed by Second Uncle. He was the one who understood this younger cousin!
"Alright then!" Xuanyuan Chen sighed softly.
Since the Xuanyuan family could become the number one family in Black Tortoise Country, and was also a great family that held the imperial power, its scale was naturally much more spectacular than the Ouyang family or the Shangguan family.
Xuanyuan Chen's home was on the outskirts of the Xuanyuan family. Xuanyuan Chen couldn't remember when he had entered the inner courtyard of the Xuanyuan family. It was a vague memory that he could recall now. However, although he had followed Xuanyuan Zhan without saying a word on the way back, and his expression was a little gloomy, he still felt a little emotional in his heart. However, it was not because he was emotional about his own experience, but because he was secretly comparing the Xuanyuan family with the Ouyang family and the Shangguan family.
Just based on this magnificent building complex alone, the Xuanyuan family was undoubtedly the number one family in Black Tortoise Country.
Along the way, Xuanyuan Zhan wanted to chat with his cousin who had risen in such a short period of time, but seeing that Xuanyuan Chen had no intention of speaking, he stopped and just walked forward.
The layout of the Xuanyuan family was divided into the outer and inner courtyards. After passing through a few tall stone doors and entering a few palace-like gardens, they finally entered the inner courtyard. In the middle of the inner courtyard was a courtyard that looked like a small square. A large road led straight through this courtyard. Usually, the two sides of this avenue would be filled with inner court guards armed with sharp swords and wearing armor. Moreover, each of them was a young man with good strength in the clan.
But now, there was no one. It seemed that the clan leader had removed the guards in order to see Xuanyuan Chen. Perhaps, this was to tell Xuanyuan Chen that they were just meeting as ordinary family members.
After walking down this path, they arrived at a palace-like building with an extraordinary aura. At the door, Xuanyuan Zhan had no intention of entering. Instead, he leaned over and smiled."The clan leader is waiting for you inside."
" Okay." Xuanyuan Chen nodded and then looked at the door in front of him. He took a deep breath and slowly pushed the door open.
The door opened. There were no lights inside. As the door opened, the light in the hall gradually brightened. This was a huge hall that could accommodate hundreds of people. At this time, at the end of the hall facing the door, there was a tall figure standing with his back facing Xuanyuan Chen.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at the figure and knew who he was. A faint coldness flashed across the corner of his mouth as he stepped in. However, when he stepped into the hall, he suddenly frowned and felt a powerful pressure rushing over.
"Class 2 Saint Sword Master?" Sword Demon and Long Xuan's voices rang out at the same time. Xuanyuan Chen was also shocked. He had originally imagined that the clan leader would be like the Ouyang or Shangguan clan leaders, only at the Great Sword Master level. However, things were completely out of his expectations now. He did not expect the clan leader to be a Saint Sword Master, and a powerful existence at the Second Order. No wonder he could sit firmly on the throne for so many years. His being a Stage Two Saint Sword Master was probably a huge secret in the clan! Could this be the trump card of the clan?
However, Xuanyuan Chen was not afraid as he thought about it. He secretly practiced the Nine Stars Skies Qi Refining Technique and circulated the Battle Qi in his body. After a short pause, he stepped forward steadily.
As he got closer to the figure, the invisible pressure became stronger. Xuanyuan Chen's expression became more and more serious. He simply circulated all the Battle Qi in his body. Although his footsteps were slow and heavy, he still walked forward.
When he was about six meters away from the figure, Xuanyuan Chen could no longer take half a step, so he tried to stop.
"Master, let me do it!" Long Xuan and Sword Demon saw that Xuanyuan Chen could not take another step forward and spoke at the same time.
"No need! He was only testing my strength and had no ill intentions. Moreover, before he knew why he wanted to see me, I didn't want him to see my trump card.”Xuanyuan Chen rejected Sword Demon and Long Xuan's suggestion and thought to himself.
Just as he was moving forward, the pressure suddenly disappeared.
The figure slowly turned around. At the same time, all the lights in the hall lit up, illuminating the hall. At the same time, the door of the hall closed with a bang.
"You're back!" This figure was the clan leader of the Xuanyuan clan, Xuanyuan Jian. However, he was not wearing the emperor's dragon robe, nor was he wearing the golden crown that symbolized imperial power. Instead, he was wearing a green robe. Coupled with the few strands of beard on his chin, he lacked the might of an emperor and had a few more elegant and scholarly features.
Xuanyuan Chen replied with a " hmm ". He did not give in just because the person in front of him was the leader of a clan or the ruler of a country. Instead, he straightened his back and looked at the other party.
Xuanyuan Jian smiled slightly, but his eyes still revealed a trace of admiration and a faint surprise. Because he could already see that the Battle Qi in Xuanyuan Chen's body was only at the strength of a Grade One Sword Master. However, Xuanyuan Chen was only a Grade One Sword Master, and he had to use 80% of his strength to make Xuanyuan Chen stop.
Although he had heard that Xuanyuan Chen had used some kind of secret technique to instantly increase his strength to defeat the ancestor of the Ouyang family, who was at the peak of the ninth-grade Great Swordsman, Xuanyuan Jian believed that Xuanyuan Chen must have an extraordinary cultivation. Because, no matter what secret technique it was, it was impossible to raise it to an astonishing height without enough strength.
As soon as Xuanyuan Chen entered the door, Xuanyuan Jian felt that Xuanyuan Chen was at the level of a Sword Master, so he only tried to release his aura. However, he did not expect that he would be forced to use 80% of his strength in the end. This made him feel shocked and at the same time, he had a strange feeling in his heart.
He couldn't understand. Xuanyuan Chen was only a Grade One Sword Master. How could he force him to use 80% of his strength to stop him? One had to know that he was a Class 2 Saint Sword Master now. With an 80% chance of success, he was definitely not weaker than a Class 9 Expert Swordsman.
"He can't possibly use that secret technique to increase his strength under such circumstances, right?”Xuanyuan Jian was puzzled. However, this thought only flashed through his mind.
The situation became a little awkward. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
"If I remember correctly, you haven't entered the inner court for ten years.”After a while, Xuanyuan Jian smiled and broke the awkward silence.
"I don't have the qualifications." Xuanyuan Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he said indifferently.
"Hehe, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of us elders!”Xuanyuan Jian listened to Xuanyuan Chen's words, smiled and sighed.
"Misunderstanding?"
Hearing these two words, Xuanyuan Chen suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to the back of his head, but his chest was extremely uncomfortable as if there was a huge rock pressing on it. Was it a misunderstanding? After the news of his parents 'deaths spread, how did his relatives treat him? Not only did no one pity him, no one took care of him. The hateful thing was that they even thought of ways to rob all the valuable things in the house.
"Misunderstanding? Where were you when I was being laughed at by my classmates? Where were you when I was bullied by everyone and forced to wash the clothes of the whole class? When I felt helpless and needed my family by my side the most, where were you? Misunderstanding? Was this just a misunderstanding? Alright, alright, then tell me, how did I misunderstand?”Xuanyuan Chen felt like he was going crazy as he shouted angrily.
"Master, calm down!" Sword Demon's voice sounded in time.
Xuanyuan Chen's heart shook when he heard this. His mind cleared up and he slowly closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down. After a while, he opened his eyes slightly. A vigorous and powerful voice came out of his mouth,"Xuanyuan Chen greets Lord Patriarch! I would like to ask the clan leader to tell me everything about my parents!”
Hearing Xuanyuan Chen's energetic words, Xuanyuan Jian just smiled and opened his hand. Two chairs not far away were pulled over and he said,"Since you called me clan leader, let's have a good talk first! As for your parents, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”，After saying that, he sat down first.
