Capítulo 1912: Chapter 1914: Southern Country Martial Dao Conference!
The denunciations arose from every corner.
It was quite embarrassing for the Divine Dragon Guard.
Even those abroad who intended to win over Xiao Chen had abandoned the idea—what value was a cripple?
“Damn it, who’s spreading these lies?”
Ying Long and Teng Long had unpleasant expressions, as they were even called in for a talk about this matter by their superiors.
Once it was confird to be a rumor, they weren’t severely punished, but they were demoted with a salary cut for a year.
They were quite frustrated.
Though the rumor was false, they indeed had made such demands of Xiao Chen.
They could only accept the punishnt.
Now, their only thought was to utilize the Mo Sect’s Legging Scrolls, Weapons Scroll, and Qi Scroll to forge powerful martial artists.
In this way, they could redeem themselves and regain their superiors’ trust.
As for clarifying that Xiao Chen hadn’t been crippled,
that was impossible; it would only make matters worse.
It was clear soone was secretly fanning the flas, and they couldn’t stop it.
The whole world now believed Xiao Chen had been forced to cripple his own martial arts, becoming a useless man.
In the courtyard of the Xiao Residence, Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and sat smoking.
Standing beside him were Ghost Blade and Bai Qi.
Yunng Xiang, being one of the Five Tiger Divine Generals, had national duties and couldn’t stay with Xiao Chen for long.
Ghost Blade and Bai Qi, however, were different; they had no formal positions.
Just then, eight shadows, as if phantoms, appeared in the courtyard.
“So, you guys showed up after all.”
Xiao Chen chuckled.
He himself was the one who spread the word about his self-crippling.
Because he wanted to see if, once truly crippled, anyone would imdiately turn against him, coming to cause trouble.
Last ti, pretending to be crippled had already lured out many enemies.
He hadn’t expected that just spreading the word this ti would bring troubles that very night.
“Indeed? You knew we’d co?”
All eight were surprised.
“Sothing like that. Since I’m crippled, naturally you’d co to kill for revenge. Let guess, which side are you from?
Bohai Nation?
Beihai Country?
Southern Country?
No, you’re from the Hades Association, right?”
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, “It seems not right either. The Hades Association should have no one left. You’re from the mouth of the spring, correct? Before she died, she said soone terrifying would co seeking vengeance on ; you must be them.”
“I didn’t expect you to know so much, but knowing it is useless; you still must die!
Do it!”
The eight didn’t waste words, fearing only the healthy Xiao Chen.
But now, Xiao Chen was crippled, just an ordinary person, perhaps with so strength, but that’s it.
All eight attacked simultaneously, aid to kill Xiao Chen.
One among them moved the fastest, a sharp blade nearing Xiao Chen’s throat in an instant.
Yet at that mont,
Godslayer Bai Qi intervened.
Xiao Alliance’s Godslayer Heavenly King wasn’t stagnant either.
While others improved, so did he.
Crack!
The sharp blade was sliced by the Bloodthirsty Sword in Bai Qi’s hand.
Slash!
The chilling Sword Aura instantly killed the foremost person.
“Just you dare to challenge our Alliance Hierarch, looking for death!”
Bai Qi stood before Xiao Chen, wielding his sword.
Ghost Blade was there, too.
One knife and one sword, completely shielding Xiao Chen.
“Don’t be afraid, kill them for !”
The remaining seven didn’t flee because of the death of one.
They believed that teaming up as seven, they could definitely kill Xiao Chen.
But what happened next was far beyond their expectations.
Too strong.
Ghost Blade hadn’t even made a move.
Bai Qi alone slaughtered the remaining seven.
“Clean it up.”
Xiao Chen waved his hand and said, “Make sure there’s no bloodstain left in the courtyard.”
“Yes!”
Soon, Bai Qi had the place cleaned up.
Xiao Chen’s lips curled into a smile.
These people ca, which ans others might co too.
It seems he’ll need to go abroad to draw out the trouble.
Then dismantle them one by one.
The next day, he inford Xiao Ruohan and Hu Han that he needed to go to the Southern Country.
When they t Xiao Chen, Xiao Ruohan and Hu Han clearly had questions to ask.
“You want to ask if I truly crippled my martial arts, don’t you?”
Xiao Chen asked with a smile, “That’s right, I actually did it. Any other questions?”
“None!”
Xiao Ruohan and Hu Han were secretly delighted.
Xiao Chen crippling his martial arts was practically a gift from Dragon Country to other countries.
But they did not show it outwardly.
For Xiao Ruohan was cautious enough.
Without confirming Xiao Chen was truly crippled, he wouldn’t show any joy.
The group set out, leaving Dragon Country to head for Southern Country.
The news quickly reached many ears.
The people behind the spring, Liu Shilong, remnants of the Hades Association, remnants of the Black-eyed Cat, and so on.
They all wanted to kill Xiao Chen on the road.
Although Xiao Chen was crippled, hatred couldn’t be resolved that easily.
Their resolve to kill Xiao Chen had never wavered.
Southern Country, a scene of prosperity.
Yet within its prosperity, signs of decline lood.
Ultimately, the hereditary feudal system was becoming ill-suited to the tis.
If the Southern Country continued like this, it would inevitably fall.
Of course, supported by Arica and others for the ti being, it could maintain certain prosperity.
“Is the Southern Country’s capital always this crowded?”
Walking down the bustling streets of the Southern Country’s capital, Xiao Chen noticed the crowds surpassed even the Capital City of Dragon Country.
He couldn’t help but ask.
This ti, he brought Bai Qi and Ghost Blade.
The Tiangang and Dishasha were left in Longcheng guarding the Xiao Family.
Currently, with all thirty-six Tiangang teaming up, even the forr Tyrant King could be held off.
Combined with the seventy-two Dishasha, plus King Chu Jiang and the King of Reincarnation overseeing, under Dragon Clan’s protection, there were hardly any problems.
Throughout the journey, they encountered nurous assassination attempts.
Approximately eighty-nine tis.
Most of the ti, they were handled by the Southern Country’s envoy group.
Xiao Ruohan and Hu Han were quite formidable.
“What Xiao War God might not know, martial arts thrive in our Southern Country, with sects everywhere—is quite similar to the previous dynasty.
The Southern Country’s quadrennial Martial Arts Tournant will be held in the capital.
Most of the people here are either martial artists participating in the tournant or spectators.”
Xiao Ruohan said with so pride, “But they’re mostly grassroots martial artists, things the Imperial Court usually doesn’t get involved with.”
“So that’s it.”
Xiao Chen was deeply intrigued.
In Dragon Country, due to modernization, many things have been reford, with martial artists gradually disappearing from the historical stage, although there remain so martial arts tournants and similar events.
But most are just grassroots organizations.
Not worth ntioning.
The Southern Country’s Martial Arts Tournant, however, was officially organized.
All grassroots martial artists in the country could participate.
After several rounds of selection, only the true strong could participate in the final contest.
The Southern Country’s governnt would recruit those who excel in the finals.
Offering extrely generous conditions.
