At this time, Su Mo's gaze fell on Jiang Chen again with a complicated expression.

The Cangwu Jiang family is so powerful that there is more than one genius at the level of the Young Emperor.

One can imagine how profound the foundation of this family is.

If you can establish a relationship with them in advance, it will not only be of great benefit to your own future, but you can even gain more benefits for your family and sect behind you.

Thinking of this, Su Mo's expression became firm.

He immediately turned around, looked at Mu Changfeng, and said through voice transmission: "Brother Mu, since you follow the Young Emperor, can you tell me how to become his follower?"

Mu Changfeng frowned slightly when he heard this.

After a moment of silence, he slowly responded, "Brother Su, this is by no means an easy matter. Please be cautious."

"If you want to become the Young Emperor's follower, you must withstand a round of pressure from him before you can pass..."

Su Mo was stunned. He had never expected that there would be such a test.

Especially when he thought of the scene where the young emperor had just forcefully suppressed Chi You, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

I am only at the level of a celestial being, how can I possibly pass the test of pressure?

He swallowed and asked cautiously, "Then Brother Mu...how did you and Brother Zhao get through in the first place?"

Mu Changfeng had a complicated expression, and said with some lingering fear: "Frankly speaking, if I want to truly withstand that round of pressure, there is no way I can do it."

"Even after only a few breaths, Zhao Wuhen and I almost couldn't bear it. It was only because the young emperor stopped in time that we barely passed the test."

After hearing this, Su Mo's expression changed slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that following the young emperor was just a matter of swearing allegiance, but he didn't expect there would be such a harsh test.

But I still feel unwilling to give up like this.

So, he sent another voice transmission and asked, "Brother Mu, in your opinion, can I pass this round of tests?"

Mu Changfeng shook his head. "To be honest, Brother Su, although you are also a genius in this world, in my opinion, there is still a certain gap between you and the standards of the Young Emperor's followers."

"I advise you to think carefully, lest you lose your resolve."

Su Mo's face turned pale and blue, and he was obviously a little dissatisfied.

However, he is not a fool.

Thinking that Mu Changfeng and Zhao Wuhen were almost defeated despite their strength, he instantly calmed down a lot.

"Even Brother Mu almost failed..."

Su Mo murmured softly, and a bitter smile of self-mockery rose in his heart.

It seems that following the young emperor is not as easy as I imagined.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the disappointment in his heart. "Thank you, Brother Mu, for reminding me. I'd better retreat when I know it's difficult."

Mu Changfeng nodded slightly and said nothing more.

At this time, Jiang Hao was chatting with Zhao Wuhen not far away.

Originally, he had a normal impression of this person.

But after learning that the other party was a follower of Brother Chen, he immediately felt that the other party was much more pleasing to the eye, and naturally was willing to say a few more words.

So, after catching a glimpse of Su Mo's expression, he smiled slightly and whispered to Zhao Wuhen, "These guys probably already have their minds set on how to curry favor with Brother Chen."

Zhao Wuhen chuckled, a hint of pride in his tone: "Want to follow the Young Emperor? It's not that easy. Without real ability, how could the Young Emperor look down on them?"

Jiang Hao grinned and casually patted Zhao Wuhen on the shoulder: "It's good to see through it. We just need to follow Brother Chen. For the rest, just watch the show."

Zhao Wuhen nodded and said no more.

..........

Shortly after.

As Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

A sharp aura spread out, like an invisible blade cutting through the air.

In an instant, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

It was a kind of shock from the inside out, not only a suppression of power, but also a kind of awe from the depths of the soul!

"This……"

Su Mo's face turned pale, and fine beads of cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.

He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Jiang Chen, as if the other's gaze had the power to penetrate people's hearts.

The same was true for the other geniuses from various sects, who didn't even dare to breathe.

They glanced at each other quietly, and could see fear in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen just glanced at everyone casually, then retracted his gaze and continued to adjust his breath.

When everyone saw this, they felt relieved instantly, as if they had survived a disaster.

"It's so scary..." someone murmured in a low voice, with a trembling voice.

Su Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered to the people around him, "Let's leave quickly. The young emperor doesn't seem to like insignificant people like us staying around, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Several people nodded, fearing that staying any longer would bring trouble upon themselves.

Before leaving, Su Mo couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen again, feeling extremely complicated.

He took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "People like this are definitely not something we can approach. Even watching from afar isn't easy..."

After saying this, the group left in a hurry, fearing that they would disturb the young emperor.

Mu Changfeng and Zhao Wuhen looked at each other and read the same thoughts from each other's eyes.

Now that the young emperor wants to reunite with his family, it is naturally inconvenient for outsiders like them to stay here.

So, the two of them bowed slightly, without saying anything more, and quietly retreated.

Soon, only the Jiang family members were left at the scene.

At this time, Jiang Hao randomly found a big rock and leaned against it.

He immediately crossed his arms, looked at Jiang Yi, and said with a smile: "Brother, where have you been these days? Don't tell me, it's all some boring places."

Jiang Yi looked at Jiang Hao, his eyes full of doting.

He shook his head and said with a smile, "Boring? I'm afraid it's much more exciting than you think."

As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Ming took over and said: "Just a few days ago, the three of us broke into the Xuanyan Tomb and gained a lot of points..."

Soon, he told Jiang Hao what happened at Xuanyan Tomb, which made Jiang Hao very excited.

After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he couldn't help but pat his thigh, a look of regret on his face: "Xuanyan Tomb! This is a place where you can encounter great opportunities. You guys didn't even invite me. How rude!"

Jiang Zhiwei smiled softly and said teasingly, "Who told you to be so careless? You disappeared so quickly. Even if I wanted to find you, I wouldn't know where to look."

When Jiang Hao heard this, he immediately put on an aggrieved look: "Oh, Sister Zhiwei, please don't wrongly accuse me!"

Jiang Zhi smiled and said nothing more.

At this time, Jiang Yi put away his smile and looked at Jiang Yan beside him, curiously saying: "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this for now. Brother Yan, how have you been recently? I see that your aura is more condensed than before. Could there be some great opportunity?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked over immediately.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yan said in a nonchalant tone, "As for a great opportunity...it does exist."

"I met the Lushu clan..."

"The Lushu clan?"

A trace of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

Then Jiang Yan explained the whole story.

Jiang Hao blinked and looked at Chi You's corpse on the ground.

His brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly his eyes flickered as if he had thought of something.

"Wait a minute..." He stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "Brother Yan, you just mentioned that Senior Bingxiao once severely injured a Saint King-level warrior, right?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "That's right. Although Senior Bingxiao was ambushed by him, he still managed to severely injure him despite being seriously injured, buying the Lu Shu clan some breathing space."

Jiang Hao's eyes swept over Chi You's body.

Then he showed a playful smile: "Then have you ever thought that this unlucky guy..." He pointed at Chi You, "Could he be the one who was seriously injured by Senior Bing Xiao?"

"After all, you also said that Senior Bingxiao called that enemy a dead snake."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Jiang Hao's analysis made sense.

After all, he is a Saint King, a snake, and injured. There are not many ferocious beasts that meet all the conditions.

At this moment, even Jiang Chen couldn't help showing a hint of surprise.

He looked down at Chiyou's body and said with emotion, "It can be considered as karma and reincarnation."

Jiang Hao chuckled and shook his head, saying, "This guy is incredibly unlucky. After being severely injured by Senior Bingxiao, he unexpectedly ran into Brother Chen again."

"Tsk tsk, this kind of luck is rare."

"However, being able to be sent away by Senior Bingxiao and Brother Chen together, this Chiyou can be said to have died a 'worthy death'."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Jiang Yan was the first to put away his smile and said in a deep voice, "Next, I still have to go find the whereabouts of Ice Phoenix Flame. Time waits for no one. We'll meet again someday. Farewell for now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao immediately stood up with his hands on his hips. "Hehehe, this time, Brother Yan and I have made an agreement that we will seize this strange fire together. By then, we will gain a lot of points and will definitely make you stunned!"

Jiang Yi patted Jiang Hao's head and said with a smile, "Then I'll have to take a good look at how you can leave us dumbfounded."

Jiang Hao clenched his fists, and couldn't wait for the day when he could seize the strange fire.

At this time, Jiang Chen stood up and looked at everyone, "Alright, everyone, please stop talking."

"There are only three days left, so we have to act quickly."

"Whether we can break through the points again depends on these last few days."

After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Jiang Hao and said, "Be careful on the road ahead, and don't act rashly."

This sentence made Jiang Hao, who was originally playful, suddenly restrain himself a little.

He grinned: "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I know what I'm doing."

As soon as the words fell, everyone got ready to leave.

..........

Day two.

The border between the Eastern Region and the Central Region.

The shadow of Wanquan City was suspended in the air.

The outline between reality and illusion becomes increasingly clear, as if a sleeping giant beast is about to wake up.

Below, there was a crowd of people, and monks from various forces gathered here, and the scene was noisy.

The monks looked up at the phantom in the sky, their eyes filled with excitement and greed.

Ever since the phantom of Wanquan City appeared, the more than ten days of waiting have made people anxious.

And now, Wanquan City is about to be completely integrated with the outside world, which means that they finally have the opportunity to step into it and compete for the inheritance!

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, someone whispered, "I heard this Wanquan City is a relic from the Human Emperor era!"

"Not only that, it's most likely left by the literary sage Zhuge Zi. It contains his inheritance, which is the inheritance of the peak Great Sage. If we can obtain it, wouldn't it be a step to heaven?"

"Oh, come on. If this ancient city was closer to the East Region and was located behind the Five Regions Barrier, with restrictions that forbid Saints and above from entering, then we still have a chance to make a move."

"But now, it's clearly leaning towards the Central Region. Many holy places can participate. How can it be the turn of us little cultivators?"

"Yeah, look over there, even Saint King-level warriors are here. If we really start fighting for it, I'm afraid there won't be anything left of us."

"Hey, that's not certain. What if I get lucky and find something?"

Amidst the discussions, several monks in gorgeous attire stood not far away with stern eyes. They were obviously the core figures of a major force.

Their presence made the surrounding cultivators afraid to approach and they all retreated.

"Senior Brother Luo, look at that shadow. It will probably appear completely in two hours at most." One of the young men whispered.

The man named Senior Brother Luo nodded, his eyes flashing with brilliance. "Well, wait until the phantom is fully materialized, then we will take action immediately. Don't let other forces get there first."

At the same time, in a corner not far away, a tall middle-aged man was standing there quietly.

His face looked hideous, as if he had suffered severe burns, and was covered with scars of varying depths, making him look chilling.

But if you look closely, his deep eyes are not like those of an ordinary cultivator, and they reveal an extreme sharpness.

This person was none other than Jiang Beixuan, who had used the secret art of disguise.

Jiang Beixuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly scanning the surroundings.

Having used the secret disguise technique from his previous life, his aura had been restrained to the extreme. Even the celestial cultivator standing next to him, or the saint or even the saint king in the distance, could not detect any clues.

The reason for doing this is that his appearance has been well known to all the major forces in the Central Region, and there is even a bounty on his head.

Although he was not afraid, he thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so he chose to disguise his appearance.

“It’s really lively, but it would be better if there were more people…”

Jiang Beixuan looked at those monks who were ready to fight, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint sneer.

At this time, a thin and casual cultivator nearby whispered to him, "Hey, big brother, this is your first time seeing such a big scene, right? It looks quite peaceful, but in fact, these people are more brutal than wolves. You better be careful."

Jiang Beixuan glanced at him calmly and said with a smile, "Isn't this normal? When a treasure appears in the world, how many people can remain unmoved?"

Upon hearing this, the skinny casual cultivator chuckled and said, "That's right, that's right. But, big brother, why are you standing here? Why don't you go to the front and see what's going on?"

Jiang Beixuan replied casually, "If you stand too far forward, you'll easily become a target."

"Those people up ahead are more powerful than the last. Small characters like us shouldn't get close to them."

The skinny casual cultivator was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Big Brother is indeed a wise man! This is how we should do it, quietly hiding in the corner, maybe we can even get a bargain!"

Jiang Beixuan curled the corner of his mouth and nodded, but said nothing more.
