Chapter 1148 Conspiracy, Testing
"Please go ahead, fairy. Daoist friend Gui Yuan and I are going to taste the spiritual wine!"
After Chen Xuan sent Fairy Mingju out of the courtyard with a smile, he returned to the courtyard and took out a jar of spiritual wine to entertain Gui Yuan.
"Fellow Daoist, this is one of the few spiritual wines I have in my collection. I happen to have another jar here, so I'll give it to you."
After Chen Xuan poured Gui Yuan a glass of spirit wine, he took out a new jar of spirit wine and gave it to Gui Yuan.
Seeing this, Guiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Guiyuan, you are too polite. If you hadn't recommended me to the Dragon Turtle Clan, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get the three bottles of ancient ambergris. What does it matter if I give you a bottle of ancient ambergris?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Guiyuan thanked him and then put it away.
Soon, the two of them were toasting each other.
After both of them had drunk seven or eight servings, Guiyuan looked at Chen Xuan.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, although I am an elder of the inner sect of Huanglong Island, I am not a member of the Dragon Turtle Clan. Although Fairy Mingju has a gentle personality and treats people very well, it does not mean that other people in the Dragon Turtle Clan are the same!"
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up.
Thinking of Guiyuan's hesitant expression not long ago, he quickly poured Guiyuan a glass of spirit wine and then took the opportunity to ask.
"Fellow Daoist Gui Yuan, what do you mean by that?"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen, you have just arrived at Huanglong Island. Apart from Fairy Mingju, you have never dealt with any cultivators from the Dragon Turtle Clan. Naturally, you don't know how arrogant the younger generations of the Dragon Turtle Clan are. They rely on the fact that they have true dragon blood in their bodies, and they don't even take ordinary cultivators seriously. To be honest..."
Having said that, Gui Yuan suddenly waved his hand and created an anti-peeping light shield that covered both Chen Xuan and himself.
"Friend Chen Dao, I am not the kind of person who would speak ill of others behind their backs. But there are some things I need to tell you."
"Fellow Daoist, you are gifted and powerful. I know that. But the young people of the Dragon Turtle Clan don't know that."
"After hearing that a Taoist friend, an outsider, was going to attend the Ten Thousand Races Conference with them, everyone was filled with righteous indignation."
"Some people even threatened to grind you into dust!"
Having said that, Gui Yuan's eyes quickly glanced at Chen Xuan.
Seeing that Chen Xuan looked normal and didn't seem angry, he continued, "Fellow Daoist Chen, those so-called geniuses of the Dragon Turtle Clan do have some abilities. That's why they dare to speak so arrogantly. I hope that Fellow Daoist Chen can be patient and don't conflict with them at this time, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Chen Xuan nodded: "Thank you for your reminder, I know the situation well!"
"Haha, if that's the case, then I'm relieved. Fellow Daoist Chen, let's continue drinking!"
Gui Yuan looked overjoyed and continued to taste the spirit wine with Chen Xuan.
However, they didn't know that while Chen Xuan and Gui Ling were drinking, Fairy Mingju appeared in the meeting hall of the Dragon Turtle Clan.
At this moment, in the meeting hall, in addition to the third elder, there was also the second elder of the Dragon Turtle Clan.
After seeing Fairy Mingju appear, the two of them looked at her at the same time.
"Meet Third Grandpa and Second Grandpa!"
Fairy Mingju greeted the two of them with a smile.
The Third Elder still looked gentle. The Second Elder, on the other hand, still had a cold face. After hearing Fairy Mingju's greeting, he nodded slightly.
Fairy Mingju didn't take it seriously, and soon smiled and said, "Just now, I went to see Fellow Daoist Chen. I found that Fellow Daoist Chen was in seclusion in the courtyard. He seemed to know nothing about what happened in Huanglong City. Second Grandfather, Third Grandfather, aren't your suspicions a bit redundant?"
The Second Elder and the Third Elder exchanged a glance, and the Third Elder smiled and said, "Girl, you are so considerate to everyone. The Second Elder and I did not really doubt Fellow Daoist Chen, but what happened at the auction happened too suddenly. For the sake of our family's safety, we had to resort to this last resort."
"But Third Grandfather, Fellow Daoist Chen has really never been to the auction house. Why are you trying to test Fellow Daoist Chen like this?"
"Haha, it's all my fault. How about I go and apologize to Fellow Daoist Chen?"
"That's no need."
Fairy Mingju smiled and shook her head.
Seeing this, the Third Elder smiled and consoled Fairy Mingju for a while. Taking this opportunity, he talked about some things about the Ten Thousand Races Conference, and then sent Fairy Mingju away.
Unexpectedly, not long after Fairy Mingju left, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared in the meeting hall.
If Chen Xuan were here, he would instantly recognize that the aura emanating from this white-haired old man was almost exactly the same as the aura emanating from the powerful man in the early stage of fusion that he felt at the auction.
"Elder Hai, why have you been in charge of the Baibao Pavilion all this time? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong when the five bandit immortals came to snatch the Tianyun token that day?"
The Third Elder's expression was extremely solemn.
The old man called "Elder Hai" laughed.
“Third Elder, although my realm is not as good as yours, the skills I have practiced also have some means of seeing through illusions.”
"Although the Daoist who appeared at the auction that day had changed his aura and appearance, I was still able to recognize him. That person was none other than Daoist Chen, who was about to represent our clan in the Ten Thousand Clan Conference."
The second elder, who had been silent all this time, smiled coldly.
"I have long felt that this Chen is not from a legitimate background. He appeared at the auction house of Baibao Pavilion just when the Five Bandit Immortals were making their move. This is too much of a coincidence."
"Just in case, why not let me take action myself and take care of him?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Third Elder and the Sea Elder changed drastically at the same time.
Soon, the two said in unison: "No!"
The second elder looked puzzled.
"Why?"
Seeing this, the Third Elder said directly: "Although the timing of Fellow Daoist Chen's appearance at the Baibao Pavilion auction house is indeed a bit strange. But I think he should not be coming for our Dragon Turtle Clan."
"If he really wants to harm our Dragon Turtle Clan, with his cultivation at the initial stage of Refining Void, wouldn't it be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth if he came?"
The second elder said nothing, but just looked at Elder Hai with curiosity.
"You two, I just said that the female cultivator who snatched the Tianyun token from the hands of the Five Bandit Immortals was from the Wind Spirit Clan. Not only I, but all the cultivators present knew about it at the time. The one from the Wind Spirit Clan actually gave Fellow Daoist Chen a Taixu Sword."
"what?"
The second elder looked incredulous.
The Wind Spirit Clan!
This is one of the ten most famous races in the Thunder Continent.
The Wind Spirit Fairy holds an extraordinary status among the Wind Spirit Clan.
If Chen Xuan really had a relationship with Fairy Feng Ling, and if the Dragon Turtle Clan really tried to kill Chen Xuan, the only outcome that would await the Dragon Turtle Clan would probably be the extermination of the entire clan.
"This... I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Chen has such a background. If this is the case, I really can't do anything to him."
The second elder was silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled coldly.
"Now these conclusions are all guesses made by the three of us."
"In that case, we might as well give Fellow Daoist Chen a try. Anyway, the younger generations in the clan are also very dissatisfied with Fellow Daoist Chen."
"It's just right. Let's take this opportunity to see if we can test Fellow Daoist Chen's strength. So that we can prepare a targeted response."
After the third elder thought about it seriously for a while, he nodded in agreement.
"Second Elder, I agree with your proposal. First, I want to see Fellow Daoist Chen's true colors, and second, I want to let those arrogant people in the clan know that there are always people better than you. This will prevent them from being dissatisfied with this and that all day long."
"If that's the case, let Mingju arrange this matter!"
"No problem on my side!"
……
Three days later, Chen Xuan, who was in seclusion practicing, was awakened again.
Soon, he left the space of the Fairy Beast Tower and appeared outside the courtyard.
"Fairy Mingju? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Chen Xuan asked in surprise.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, do you remember what I said to you not long ago? The immortal cultivators from our Dragon Turtle Clan who are attending the Ten Thousand Clan Conference with you have all arrived. How about I take you to meet them now?" Fairy Mingju said with a smile.
"Since the fairy has asked, how can I refuse? Please lead the way."
"Hehe, I knew that a straightforward person like you would definitely not refuse. Let's go!"
Fairy Mingju took Chen Xuan away quickly.
When the two appeared again, they were already in a training ground filled with abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
The training ground in front of him was hundreds of acres in size.
A very powerful protective shield formation is arranged in the sky.
Chen Xuan scanned with his divine sense and found that the defensive power of these protective formations was very strong.
Even if a strong person in the fusion stage uses all his strength, he cannot destroy it.
"Bringing me to the martial arts arena to meet fellow Taoists from the Dragon Turtle Clan? This really has ulterior motives!"
Chen Xuan smiled secretly, but appeared normal on the surface.
In fact, as early as the last time he drank with Gui Yuan, Chen Xuan already knew that the cultivators of the Spirit Turtle Clan wanted to provoke him.
At this moment, as Fairy Mingju appeared in the martial arts arena, Chen Xuan naturally knew what was going to happen next.
"Mingju, is this the foreign aid that the clan invited?"
"Yeah, I don't think this guy is that good. If it's because of him that our Dragon Turtle Clan can't get a good ranking in this Ten Thousand Clan Conference, who should be held responsible for the consequences?"
"Mingju, in my opinion, we should just let someone else replace this guy. How can we let an outsider do the work of our Dragon Turtle Clan?"
Various mocking voices continued to be heard from the martial arts arena.
Fairy Mingju looked at these unruly young cultivators of the Dragon Turtle Clan and couldn't help but frown.
Just when she didn't know how to deal with the matter, Chen Xuan's faint voice rang out from the martial arts arena.
"Do you have a problem with my participation in the Ten Thousand Races Conference? If so, why don't we have a sparring match? Who's coming?"
The cultivators of the Spirit Turtle Clan, who had long wanted to teach Chen Xuan a lesson, were all ready to go.
Mingju was immediately furious when she saw this.
"That's enough. I asked you to come here to meet Fellow Daoist Chen. Once you get to know each other, you can work together at the Ten Thousand Clan Conference to help our Dragon Turtle Clan get a good ranking. I didn't ask you to compete with Fellow Daoist Chen here."
Fairy Mingju glared at the cultivator from the Dragon Turtle clan who was causing trouble.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Fairy Mingju. In fact, mutual sparring between immortal cultivators is nothing. It just so happens that I have also been promoted to the Void Refining Stage not long ago, so let me get familiar with the fighting style of the strong people in the Void Refining Stage."
"This……"
"Don't worry, fairy. If I can't even get rid of these guys, how can I represent the Dragon Turtle Clan to attend the Ten Thousand Clan Conference?"
"In that case, let's stop sparring with each other."
"Don't worry, fairy. I know what I'm doing."
As Chen Xuan spoke, his eyes swept over all the young cultivators of the Dragon Turtle Clan.
Seeing the five cultivators of the Dragon Turtle Clan who appeared in the martial arts arena at this moment, except for one person who had a slightly more powerful aura.
The auras of the other four people all seemed a little weak.
It seems that he used some secret technique to forcibly raise his realm to the Void Refinement Stage.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan instantly understood why Fairy Mingju invited him to represent the Dragon Turtle Clan to attend the Conference of All Clans.
"So they are all a bunch of embroiderers! If that's the case..."
Chen Xuan sneered secretly and looked at the young cultivator of the Dragon Turtle Clan with contempt: "The five of you should join forces and attack together. Otherwise, you will waste my time."
"Boy, you said that."
The leading cultivator from the Dragon Turtle Clan smiled grimly.
The next moment, he waved his hand.
All the powerful Dragon Turtle Clan members standing beside him took action one after another.
However, Chen Xuan suddenly turned into a shadow and disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was already behind these Dragon Turtle cultivators.
boom!
Chen Xuan kept waving his arms.
Four of the five cultivators from the Dragon Turtle Clan flew backwards instantly.
As for the last cultivator from the Dragon Turtle clan, he was kicked by Chen Xuan and flew seven or eight feet away.
Seeing this, Fairy Mingju's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
Those young cultivators of the Dragon Turtle Clan who were defeated by Chen Xuan all blushed and lowered their heads in shame.
