Chapter 1261: Problem Resolved Faster than a Quick Conversation

Aside from feeling sullen, Leng Shaofan felt helpless as well. He recalled that when Xiao Chen first arrived in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, he had come up with measures to deal with Xiao Chen with a thought, deterring Xiao Chen from going to his own conferred land.

In the past three years, while Xiao Chen improved, Leng Shaofan improved as well. However, now, Leng Shaofan ended up kneeling after just one palm strike from Xiao Chen.

Such a demonic genius like Xiao Chen was already unmatched within the same generation.

I absolutely cannot let him advance to Martial Emperor. This thought surfaced in Leng Shaofan’s mind. I absolutely, absolutely cannot let Xiao Chen advance to Martial Emperor.

In the future, I have to make sure he dies during his Great Tribulation of wind and fire. For now, I can only endure all this humiliation.

He who laughs last is the true winner.

After the two Young Palace Masters spoke, the two Martial Emperors of the Divine Dragon Palaces had no choice but to dig out everything they had to pay the ransom.

The Martial Emperors felt humiliated just thinking about it. They were bona fide Martial Emperors, and yet a Consummation quasi-Emperor toyed with them in the palm of his hand.

Xiao Chen collected the Essence Stones with satisfaction. Then, he patted Leng Shaofan’s and that red-clad youth’s shoulders. “Take them away. The restrictions will automatically resolve themselves after half an hour.”

“Young man, don’t ever let us get a handle on you. We will definitely repay this humiliation today in the future.”

The two old men each carried one person and left at lightning speed. This was a place of trouble; they were not willing to linger here any longer.

Now, aside from the people of Heavenly Star Island, only the Martial God Palace’s Wang Feng and Elder Xing remained in the hall.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, “Men! Replace the furniture. The Martial God Palace envoys and I are going to continue discussing the split in profits.”

“Hahahaha! The Azure Dragon King is joking, you must be joking. We won’t be discussing the split anymore. We will leave now. Sorry for disturbing you.”

Seeing that Xiao Chen could force two Martial Emperors to pay out ten thousand Essence Stones each, Wang Feng lost all his courage, frightened silly. If they kept discussing, who knew how would they end up getting played?

This was not a humane place to be. In the future, even if he were beaten to death, he would never come back to Heavenly Star Island.

Wang Feng moved in a flurry, quickly leaving this place with Elder Xing with hurried footsteps.

Seeing that the three Martial Emperors were all gone, Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai both relaxed their tense hearts. As they looked at that white figure, their eyes filled with awe.

Even when considering the entire Kunlun Realm, who within the younger generation dared to fight with Martial Emperors, controlling the situation in the time it took for a quick conversation? Only Xiao Chen could!

The three Martial Emperors all arrived unexpectedly at the same time, startling Lan Shaobai and Mo Chen. Just one Martial Emperor would already cause a big headache; three were even worse.

However, Xiao Chen maintained his calm and dealt with the problem. He not only got the three Martial Emperors to leave empty-handed but even managed to exact twenty thousand Essence Stones from them.

The outcome was like a dream. Even until now, it seemed unbelievable.

“Shaobai, pick a day for the reestablishment of the Dragon’s Gate. Do your best to have it within one month,” Xiao Chen said gravely as he turned around. He did not show any joy at the results of this conflict.

Lan Shaobai felt confused. He asked, “Why? Didn’t you just force back two Young Palace Masters of the Divine Dragon Palaces and make them sign contracts to not come and cause trouble at Heavenly Star Island anymore?”

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. “What do you think is the reason behind my being able to control the situation, forcing the three Martial Emperors to leave with nothing, unable to do anything to me?”

Lan Shaobai was about to reply. However, just as he was on the verge of speaking, he felt that the answer was wrong. After thinking hard about it, he actually could not come out with an answer that he felt was correct.

Why was that?

Mo Chen calmed down and gave it some thought. Then, she came up with an answer in her heart. She looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Because of strength!”

Xiao Chen nodded his head and said, “That’s right. It is because of strength. Because I have a suitable trump card, I do not fear facing three Martial Emperors. That gave me the confidence to be overbearing with my actions.

“He whose fist is larger makes the rules. A contract does not matter; they can break it at any time. It is just an excuse that I set up to deal with the Divine Dragon Palaces, to have reason on our side and gain the initiative.”

Now, Lan Shaobai felt enlightened. However, he was still in some confusion. “But what does all this have to do with announcing the reestablishment of the Dragon’s Gate in advance?”

Xiao Chen sat down on his freshly replaced chair and replied, “Now, I’ve already revealed my strength. The other party will never leave matters at that. Do you think that with my strength, I can make any waves before the Three Holy Lands and the Divine Dragon Palaces?

“Now that the other party is aware of my strength, the next time they come to seek trouble, it will be difficult for me to handle. Only by announcing the reestablishment of the Dragon’s Gate will we disrupt their rhythm and gain control of the rhythm.”

Lan Shaobai was not stupid. Immediately understanding Xiao Chen’s brief explanation, he said, “I’ll go and handle it.”

“Mo Chen, please get Elder Qin to come over. I need to speak to him.” A sense of danger flared in Xiao Chen’s heart; he could not stop and rest.

Originally, he did not intend to expose the fact that he possessed the strength to fight a Martial Emperor before reestablishing the Dragon’s Gate. Once he exposed it, then part of the tacit understanding between the Thunder Sovereign and the other Primes would be broken.

However, left with no other choice, Xiao Chen was forced to reveal it today. Fortunately, the three Martial Emperors feared too many things and did not possess any sharpness at all.

This resulted in him revealing only the Sharp Spirit Finger. The most fortunate thing was that no one knew that he possessed one hundred strands of Primordial Energy yet.

After a while, the Supreme Sky Sect’s Elder Qin arrived at the main hall.

Xiao Chen got right to the point and said directly, “Elder Qin, I would like to see the Supreme Sky Emperor. You should have some means to do so, right?”

The Supreme Sky Emperor, now known as the Supreme Sky Prime, Ying Zongtian, had surmounted three consecutive Sovereign tribulations, clearing a total of nine tribulations. Like the Thunder Emperor Sang Mu back then, he was now already a Prime.

As for the Thunder Sovereign, Xiao Chen had never formally met him or spoken to him privately before, so he felt somewhat distant to him.

In Xiao Chen’s heart, the only one that he could rely on was this Supreme Sky Prime whom he had had a heart-to-heart talk with.

In reestablishing the Dragon’s Gate, he needed to get an answer from this senior first. Otherwise, he simply would not have the confidence to deal with the overwhelming commotion and boundless pressure this announcement to the world would trigger.

Elder Qin was not surprised at Xiao Chen’s sudden questions. He smiled and said, “The Sect Master made arrangements long ago. If Heavenly Star Island runs into any unresolvable problems, you can get this old man to shatter this jade strip to get him to make an appearance.

“However, Young Master Xiao, there has not been any occasion for you to use this jade strip. Isn’t it a little wasteful for you to use it now?”

There really is a method!

Indeed, Xiao Chen guessed right. He said respectfully, “Can I trouble Elder Qin to pass the jade strip to me? This is indeed the time that I need to use it.”

“Since Young Master Xiao decided on it, it is fine.”

A jade strip shot out from Elder Qin’s hand. After Xiao Chen caught it, Elder Qin performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “If there is no other matter, this old man will leave first.”

Xiao Chen clearly had some matters that he wished to discuss with Ying Zongtian, so Elder Qin tactfully withdrew.

After Elder Qin left, Xiao Chen immediately shattered the jade strip without hesitation. “Crack!” The jade strip broke into countless shards. Each shard flickered with crystalline light, looked very dreamy and beautiful.

Before Xiao Chen’s curious expression, the countless motes of light gathered into the shape of Ying Zongtian in front of him.

“Little Brother Xiao, you need to speak to me?” Ying Zongtian asked with a smile; he appeared to be in good spirits.

Xiao Chen replied courteously, “Big Brother Ying, I plan to announce the reestablishment of the Dragon’s Gate within one month.”

The moment Xiao Chen said this, Ying Zongtian immediately withdrew his smile. He asked in a serious tone, “Why the rush? In my opinion, you are not a rash or wildly ambitious person. Is there more to this?”

Xiao Chen felt warmth in his heart. Although Ying Zongtian was a senior, he did not seem to have any generation gap with Xiao Chen, managing to easily guess the difficulties that Xiao Chen faced.

Nodding his head, Xiao Chen spoke of the difficulties that he faced on Heavenly Star Island, about how the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace was eyeing Heavenly Star Island with malicious intent and how Heavenly Star Island did not have the strength to face it.

He explained that he needed to raise the banner of the Dragon’s Gate, to let everyone know the backing behind Heavenly Star Island, preventing them from acting rashly. This would give Heavenly Star Island some room for survival.

At the same time, he would also clearly express his intent. He only wanted to fulfill his responsibilities as the Azure Emperor’s descendant, to reestablish the Dragon’s Gate. He did not have any ambition or desire to rule over anything.

Xiao Chen did not have the energy or the interest to do so. He only wanted to allow the inheritance of the Dragon’s Gate to continue, to fulfill the sense of responsibility in his heart.

Ying Zongtian listened and did not interrupt. After Xiao Chen finished, Ying Zongtian said, “I understand what you mean. At that time, I will personally make a trip over. As the Azure Emperor’s descendant, it is within reason for you to reestablish the Dragon’s Gate. There is no need to hide and do it covertly.”

Xiao Chen revealed an expression of joy. “Many thanks, Big Brother.”

“It’s fine. There is no need to be so polite. You are the Azure Emperor’s descendant in the first place. There is nothing wrong with reestablishing the Dragon’s Gate. There is no need to sneak around and do it secretly. Since it is all in the open, why can’t you announce it to the whole world? I’ll help you deal with the things that are too overwhelming.”

The Supreme Sky Prime, Ying Zongtian, did not hesitate to agree to Xiao Chen’s request right after Xiao Chen finished.

“With Big Brother’s word, even if there is an overwhelming wave, I have the confidence to deal with it.”

Xiao Chen’s words were not intended to be modest or to flatter. There was nothing greater than a Prime’s promise that could give him confidence.

He hesitated for a while before making another request. “Big Brother Ying, can I meet the Thunder Sovereign?”

Ying Zongtian smiled and said, “There is no need. The Thunder Sovereign has been keeping an eye on you. If he wants to meet you, you will not be able to avoid him. If he does not want to meet you, no matter what you do, you will not be able to. Remember my words. Although the Thunder Sovereign rarely interfered to help you on your path, he has been keeping watch over you. As long as he remains, no one in the entire Kunlun Realm will dare to really make a move on you.”

“Whoosh!”

Right after Ying Zongtian finished speaking, all the motes of light scattered like they were fireflies. Then, his figure disappeared.

A flame of surging determination lit up in Xiao Chen’s eyes. A faction that vanished ten thousand years ago would be reestablished in one month.

The disturbance that he would cause would definitely rock the entire Kunlun Realm. No matter where one was, one would be shaken by this news.

Xiao Chen’s enemies who were out in the open would be furious. The hidden enemies would get very restless.

Not everyone would be happy to see the Dragon’s Gate rise again. Back then, the Azure Emperor had made too many enemies. All the factions that contributed to the destruction of the Dragon’s Gate after the Azure Emperor’s fall would not let Xiao Chen reestablish the Dragon’s Gate smoothly.
