Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1573 (Raw 1555): Invisible Confrontation

The blue-clad old man said indifferently, “Junior Brother, you still aren’t looking at him clearly. Although he is just a Veritable Essence Stage cultivator, his aura and air are extraordinary.

“Just think about it. When regular Veritable Essence Stage cultivators see us, how do they behave?”

The half-step Primal Core Realm expert quickly replied, “They are definitely as respectful as they can be, pleasant. Even trying to pander to us is normal.”

Primal Core Realm cultivators were like gods to Veritable Essence Stage cultivators.

The blue-clad old man nodded. “But what about him? He is neither haughty nor humble, just very calm. With one glance, it is clear that he is someone who has experienced grand events. Such a person is either born to nobility or tempered by life’s vicissitudes. Based on his youth, he cannot possibly be the latter, only the former.”

When the half-step Primal Core Realm old man heard that conclusion, it startled him. Given this, he would not be able to make a move.

“Could he be the disciple of a Rank 2 sect or a rich and powerful clan?”

With a person of such a background, if they touched him, the consequences...

“That is right and not right at the same time.”

“Senior Brother, what do you mean?”

The blue-clad old man smiled strangely. “He is definitely from a rich and powerful clan. However, look at him. He could not even find good-quality Baleful Yin Energy and is wandering the Starry Heavens alone. Is there such a Noble Clan?”

“Is that so? Senior Brother, stop beating about the bush. Just be direct.”

The blue-clad old man smiled and laughed, “Hahaha! I’ll be direct, then. He is definitely of nobility. However, his clan should be in decline. It is even more possible that his clan was destroyed. That’s why he is wandering the place, avoiding his enemies.”

The half-step Primal Core Realm old man’s eyes lit up. After a while, he raised his thumb and said, “Senior Brother, to think that you can guess even that. You are really excellent!”

Given this, everything could be explained. This was why Xiao Chen could kill the second-in-command of the pirate group.

For such a disciple of a diminished clan, how could he not have any trump cards for protecting his life? This would also explain the origin of his air and aura.

Disciples of Noble Clans grew up seeing many experts. Why would they be respectful to a Primal Core Realm expert?

A disciple of such a diminished clan would also have more treasures than a regular loose cultivator.

Just the formation plate and formation diagrams of the pirate ship were already worth these two people making a move against Xiao Chen. Furthermore, they assumed he had such an identity.

No matter how they looked at it, this white-clad bladesman was a fattened lamb.

The blue-clad old man smiled mysteriously and said, “I got Fei`er and Luo Nan to interact with him. With youths, he should be less wary. They should be able to get some information.”

“In that case, why send him to Profound Yin Island? Letting him grow stronger is not good for us.”

The blue-clad old man smiled and said, “You don’t get it. By sending him to Profound Yin Island, firstly, he will help us gather Yin Essence Stones for free. This will be considered our contribution to the sect. Secondly, the competition on Profound Yin Island is fierce. That should use up many of his trump cards.

“How quickly can he grow stronger? If not for fear of his trump cards, I could have easily killed him.”

The half-step Primal Core Realm old man smiled and said, “Ingenious. Senior Brother, with a plan like yours, even if that Xiao Chen had nine heads, he would not be able to escape from the palm of your hands.”

“Humph. His clan is already fallen, yet he is so proud and arrogant, thinking too highly of himself. He is not willing to accept reality. Since he ran into me, I’ll teach him the ways of the world.”

Greed flashed in the eyes of the blue-clad old man as he spoke in a cold voice.

As the saying went, the world is a dangerous place. The danger of the world lies in the hearts of men.

On the deck, Fei`er and Xiao Chen chatted happily, occasionally bursting out with tinkling laughter.

This made Luo Nan, who followed by the side, extremely envious. He could not even get a word in when he wanted.

As Luo Nan looked at Xiao Chen, he wished that he could kill Xiao Chen with his eyes.

This was the first time Xiao Chen met with people in the outer realm. He did not understand many of the local cultures, sect ranks, Cultivation Technique grading, or Divine Weapons grading.

After all, the Book of the Epochs only recorded broad information. It definitely would not cover everything in great detail.

Fei`er’s thoughts were very pure. She always warmly answered all of Xiao Chen’s occasional questions.

Hence, Xiao Chen came to know that this Great Thousand Realms was mainly ruled by sects.

Sects were categorized into seven ranks. Below the seven ranks were mediocre sects.

However, any ranked sect possessed accumulations from at least ten thousand years.

The Tianyi Sect was a Rank 1 sect. Such a sect would have a Cloud Sea Realm Supreme Elder in command.

A sect required at least three Cloud Sea Realm cultivators before it could be considered a Rank 2 sect.

Most Rank 2 sects were very strong and normally controlled at least one great realm.

Rank 2 sects did not need to band together like Rank 1 sects did to control one great realm.

As for Rank 3 sects, those were considered very strong already. There would be a Divine Vein Realm powerhouse holding command. Within their astral region, even in the Great Thousand Realms, these existences were absolute overlords.

The Purple Sun Region, for example, had four Rank 3 sects. Just any disciple from there would be a Primal Core Realm powerhouse, people who were greatly respected.

Xiao Chen felt deeply moved when he heard this. It looked like this Great Thousand Realms was filled with infinite possibilities.

No wonder so many cultivators of the Kunlun Realm had rushed to the Kunlun Road without looking back since ancient times, one after another.

As it was getting late already, Xiao Chen took his leave to rest, preparing to think about how to deal with that blue-clad old man.

“Junior Sister, I’ll send you back. You should be tired after that battle with the pirates.”

After seeing Xiao Chen leave and gaining this opportunity, Luo Nan immediately smiled.

Just at this moment, a disciple walked out of the hold and said respectfully, “Senior Brother Luo, Master is looking for you.”

Luo Nan felt depressed. After gaining a chance to be alone with his junior sister after much difficulty, he got busted again.

Fei`er smiled brightly and said, “Senior Brother, go and see Master, then. There are no dangers on the ship. I can go back alone.”

Luo Nan was stunned for a while as he gazed at Fei`er’s back.

“Senior Brother, it’s time to go.”

“Alright, alright, I’m going.”

—

Inside the tea room of the ship, Luo Nan greeted his two elders. Then, the blue-clad old man smiled and asked, “Nan`er, after interacting with you two for so long, did that Xiao Chen say anything?”

Luo Nan could not help cursing in his heart. This question touched his sore spot. This Xiao Chen did not say even a single word to me.

He chatted with Junior Sister the entire time.

“Reporting to Master, that Xiao Chen spoke only with Junior Sister and not to me,” Luo Nan still replied honestly even though he felt somewhat upset.

The blue-clad old man said, “Alright, what did they say?”

Luo Nan nodded and repeated pretty much everything that his junior sister Fei`er said.

The more the blue-clad old man and the half-step Primal Core Realm old man listened, the more they felt something was off. This sounded more like Fei`er spilling all their secrets.

Fei`er had told Xiao Chen all about the Tianyi Sect’s situation.

She even gave a simple explanation of these two old men’s strength to Xiao Chen, although she spoke about them with reverence.

Just by listening, one could tell that these revelations were unintentional.

“Hold on. Who asked you all this? I asked about what that Xiao Chen said,” the half-step Primal Core Realm old man interrupted rudely, his expression turning cold.

Luo Nan had been speaking happily. He remembered everything his junior sister said.

Being interrupted like that, Luo Nan felt somewhat stupid.

Asked about Xiao Chen?

Luo Nan wished that he could kill Xiao Chen. Why would he bother remembering what Xiao Chen said?

“Speak. Tell me what that Xiao Chen said. Do not leave out a single word,” the blue-clad old man ordered expressionlessly. action

“I...I...”

Sensing his master and his martial uncle getting somewhat angry, Luo Nan blushed slightly. However, no matter how much he tried, he simply could not recall what Xiao Chen said.

“Master, Martial Uncle, this disciple really cannot remember. Master, please punish me!”

“Plop!” Luo Nan fell to his knees, not daring to raise his head.

“Trash. What are you even thinking in your head? Scram!”

The blue-clad old man was incredibly furious. Then, he waved his hand in dismissal, shooing Luo Nan away.

Luo Nan felt so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood. He was enraged in the first place. After he gained a rare opportunity to be alone with his junior sister, his master and martial uncle called him over and ruthlessly lectured him.

What is going on?! Luo Nan felt so depressed, he wanted to cry.

No wonder the blue-clad old man was angry. These two were originally planning to fish for information about Xiao Chen’s background.

Who would have imagined that not only would they not get anything, but they even ended up giving away all their information?

How could the two old men not be angry?

“Senior Brother, this fellow is somewhat hard to deal with.”

The blue-clad old man showed a hostile expression as he snorted coldly. “This fellow is rather skilled and experienced. However, he chose the wrong opponent to oppose. Just he wait!”
