Chapter 58 Xuanming Sect's Xuanmingzi
Xiao Feng understood the meaning behind Xiao Shi's words.
It seemed that the Xuanming Sect was quite interesting. They had to conduct thorough investigations before taking action to avoid provoking the wrong people and bringing trouble to their sect. Such cautiousness was indeed something that not everyone could do.
In this way, those powerful forces that weren't provoked had no connection to him, and naturally, they wouldn't bother attacking the Xuanming Sect for no reward. Could they really be willing to start a major war just for a few words of praise about eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path? That's impossible!
This is precisely why Xiao Xuan became somewhat curious about the Xuanming Sect Master, whom he had never met before. To accomplish these things and persevere to the end, this person must possess considerable strength. Of course, this did not diminish his anger, nor would it make him show mercy in the battle.
At the same time, a hint of amusement rose in his heart. The Xuanming Sect had never failed in all these years, so they must have investigated thoroughly before attacking "Hell". But this time they were probably going to be disappointed, and the price they would have to pay was enormous!
"Please continue," he said again, glancing at Xiao Shi who was waiting for him.
"Yes, the Xuanming Sect is not weak overall. Its sect leader seems to have the strength of a one-star Dou Sheng, and it also has a half-saint and hundreds of Dou Zun under its command. It is one of the top sects in the entire Central Continent."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao Feng beside him again. Seeing that Xiao Feng did not react, he continued to speak.
"We have been developing 'Hell' in Zhongzhou, and we have carried out the clan leader's instructions to keep a low profile. Therefore, we have not provoked anyone in Zhongzhou, nor have we had any contact with the Xuanming Sect. Therefore, according to Chief Xiao Xing's deduction, the Xuanming Sect may have come to attack our 'Hell' because they are interested in 'Hell's' terrifying intelligence capabilities or 'Hell's' rich benefits."
"They coveted 'Hell' and wanted to attack it to seize it by force. The Xuanming Sect is indeed very domineering. I just don't know how their mere one-star Dou Sheng realm strength allows them to be so arrogant!" Xiao Feng muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes!
He built "Hell" with his own hands, and he had high hopes for it. In addition, "Hell" belonged to the Xiao Clan. Now, a one-star Dou Sheng dared to seize it by trickery and force. He was extremely arrogant!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi couldn't help but think, "It seems that the arrogant and domineering Xuanming Sect in Zhongzhou is also about to perish."
Xiao Feng never concealed his strength, because both the Xiao Clan and "Hell" were developing rapidly, and during this period, clashes and even battles with other forces were inevitable. As the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, his strength was the source of confidence for his people, their support, and their backing!
He didn't want his people to be timid and hesitant because they didn't know his strength, thus avoiding bringing disaster to the Xiao clan. Furthermore, he didn't want them to bear everything alone, even having to smile and apologize to the other party when they were bullied! That was not what he wanted to see!
Since he possesses such formidable strength, why conceal it? It would be better to openly reveal it, which would naturally boost the confidence of the clansmen, making them less hesitant in their actions. Similarly, knowing Xiao Feng's strength would also help them discern who to provoke and who to avoid, preventing them from foolishly offending forces they shouldn't.
It was precisely because Xiao Shi knew Xiao Feng's strength that he had such thoughts. In his view, the sect leader of the Xuanming Sect was only a one-star Dou Sheng, while Xiao Feng was a five-star Dou Sheng! Eliminating the other party would be too easy.
In about half an incense stick's time, Xiao Feng arrived in Zhongzhou and headed towards the "Netherworld Mountains" where "Hell" was located. As an intelligence organization that mainly gathers and sells information, its base could not be located in extremely prosperous places, much less in a very conspicuous place. Therefore, the Netherworld Mountains, which are covered with thick fog all day long, became their best choice.
Upon entering the Netherworld Mountain Range, a thick fog instantly enveloped the two of them. However, both of them were extremely powerful, and the dense fog had no effect on them at all. In just a few breaths, they reached the depths of the mountain range.
"Hahahaha, you'd better not put up a fight. You mere low-level half-saints think you can fight against me? You're like mayflies trying to shake a tree, utterly overestimating yourselves! Surrender obediently and acknowledge me as your master, and I might spare your lives out of mercy. Otherwise, you will all die today!"
Before even entering the manor, Xiao Feng heard shouts coming from the manor below. Hearing the arrogant voice in his ear, Xiao Feng was already certain that this person was the Xuanming Sect Master.
How could someone with only the strength of a one-star Dou Sheng in the early stage have the courage to say such arrogant words?
Seeing the scene of the Xiao clansmen fighting bloody battles, and seeing Xiao Qi and the others lying on the ground in tattered clothes and covered in wounds, Xiao Feng frowned.
A figure appeared silently on the battlefield. When everyone realized it, they found that a young man dressed in white, with the air of a refined gentleman, had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Upon seeing the mysterious man who suddenly appeared, the Xuanming Sect Master's expression changed instantly. He thought to himself, "This person actually managed to get to me without me noticing at all. What does that mean? It means his strength is greater than mine! But I wonder if this person is friend or foe!"
Thinking of this, he forced a smile, cupped his hands in greeting, and said to Xiao Feng, "I am Xuanmingzi, the Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect. Greetings, Senior. May I ask what brings you here? If there is anything I can do to help, I will certainly do so without hesitation!"
That being said, he didn't think that way at all. He was now very wary of Xiao Feng, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, and even wished that the other party would leave immediately. After all, this "Hell" was a gold mine, and he was unwilling to let someone else snatch the gold mine that he had already obtained halfway. However, since the other party's strength was still unclear, he did not dare to make any rash moves.
Before he could finish speaking, a voice interrupted him.
They saw Xiao Qi and the others, who were lying in the distance and were seriously injured, swallow a pill. After their breathing stabilized, they got up and called out to Xiao Feng in front of them, "Greetings, Clan Chief! We have failed in our duties and have troubled the Clan Chief to come in person. We deserve to die!"
