Suddenly, just as Xia Liu was about to speak, a tall figure raced in from the distance.
With a spirit sword on his back, exuding an air of brilliance, only the excitent on his face detracted slightly from his sharpness.
"It's you, Shangguan Jingchen."
Seeing the person coming, Xia Liu imdiately searched the depths of his mories.
Finally confirming, he was indeed Shangguan Jingchen whom he had t at the Spirit Sword Sect.
Speaking of which, it was thanks to his help that Xia Liu had been able to enter the Spirit Sword Sect peacefully back then.
"Senior Xia! How did you end up in the Northern Region? This must be fate!"
Hearing Xia Liu call out his na, Shangguan Jingchen was overwheld with excitent.
Back then, he wanted to venture out, eventually settling in the Spirit Sword Sect.
But after eting Xia Liu, he realized there were even greater people in the world, so he chose to return ho.
Returning to the Shangguan Clan, which was even more established than the Spirit Sword Sect.
Who doesn't go crazy when they're young?
After the craziness, one realizes that ho is stronger and warr than anywhere else.
"Jingchen, you know each other?"
Shangguan Jingyun asked in confusion.
"Great Grandfather, I told you when I ca back that I had seen a legendary figure in the Southeast Region!"
"You an the one who destroyed the Beast Taming Sect, quelled the chaos in Thousand chanisms City, and then intimidated the Spirit Sword Sect?"
Shangguan Jingyun quickly recalled.
At that ti, upon hearing this news, he thought it was so powerful figure from the Northern Region.
After all, without reaching the Half-Step Consolidation Foundation Stage, accomplishing such feats was almost impossible.
However, after seeing Xia Liu, Shangguan Jingyun's worldview was shattered.
Further reminded by Shangguan Jingchen.
He gained a deeper understanding of Xia Liu.
He was not an ordinary cultivator!
"Indeed! Senior Xia, at such a young age, possesses unparalleled cultivation, a figure I greatly admire!!"
Shangguan Jingchen said excitedly.
"Jingchen, you need to change your address; the person before you should be called Chief Xia."
"Chief Xia? Could it be the one who recently shook the Northern Region, the Extre Path Alliance Chief?"
Shangguan Jingchen's breath caught.
The Extre Path Alliance is arguably the most prominent na in the Northern Region.
Even though it hasn't been established for long.
It has stunned everyone in the Northern Region.
Because the Extre Path Alliance unifies the power of three sects, and it is said that the alliance's chief possesses unrivaled cultivation and has perfected the sect-protecting secret arts of all three sects.
For so unknown reasons, Chief Xia was determined to suppress the Liu and Han families.
From then on, the war erupted.
"Yes, this is Chief Xia of the Extre Path Alliance."
Shangguan Jingyun nodded.
If he hadn't witnessed Xia Liu's prowess, he wouldn't have believed that Xia Liu could be the chief of the Extre Path Alliance.
"My heavens, my heavens..."
Shangguan Jingchen couldn't breathe; the news was too sudden.
It was beyond what he could accept.
No wonder Xia Liu was able to disturb the Southeast Region, no wonder he could intimidate all the heroes.
It turns out he possesses world-dominating abilities!
"Haha, Brother Jingchen, there's no need to be so frightened. I'm not that scary..."
Xia Liu said with a wry smile.
Shangguan Jingchen wanted to cry.
He might be a year or two older than Xia Liu.
Yet, he couldn't even compare to the hem of Xia Liu's garnt.
The gap, oh the gap!
"Alas..."
Shangguan Jingchen sighed, spiritless, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Haha, Chief Xia, please don't mind. My grandson has been away from ho for too long, a little scatterbrained."
"It's okay, seeing an old friend makes
very happy, but there's one thing I don't understand."
"Please, go ahead, Chief Xia."
Xia Liu thought for a mont and said, "Elder Jingyun ntioned earlier, that your clan's Saintess wants you to save ?"
"Yes, indeed, it's our clan's Saintess who wanted to take action to save you."
Shangguan Jingyun nodded.
If it weren't for the Saintess's command, he wouldn't have interfered in the affairs of the two alliances.
"I wonder if I could et the Saintess to thank her in person."
Although he didn't know the reason, Xia Liu was truly curious.
After all, soone capable of commanding a Half-Step Consolidation Foundation Stage cultivator to take action, this Saintess is certainly not ordinary.
"I'll try to get in touch with the Saintess."
Shangguan Jingyun didn't refuse imdiately.
After all, since the Saintess had ordered Xia Liu to be saved, perhaps there was so special connection between them.
After a mont of silence, Shangguan Jingyun opened his eyes and said, "The Saintess has commanded, if Chief Xia stays at the Shangguan Clan for five days, she will appear to et you."
"Ah, wouldn't that be imposing on your clan..."
Xia Liu was a bit surprised.
This Saintess seed intent on having him stay.
"Haha, having Chief Xia stay for a few days is a fortune for the Shangguan Clan."
From the Saintess's words, Shangguan Jingyun sensed sothing peculiar.
Moreover, gaining the favor of the chief of the Extre Path Alliance is undoubtedly a great benefit for the Shangguan Clan.
The future power dynamics of the Northern Region might be controlled by the Extre Path Alliance.
Although the Shangguan Clan remains secluded, if the Northern Region were controlled by the Liu and Han families,
seclusion would beco a re joke, and they might even face annihilation.
"You've overpraised, Xia Liu cannot accept such honor."
"Not at all, let Jingchen take care of you these few days."
"Jingchen!"
"Yes, Great Grandfather!"
Realizing, Shangguan Jingchen quickly led Xia Liu to rest.
On the way, Xia Liu, not paying much attention to the beautiful scenery of the orchard, quietly asked Shangguan Jingchen, "Brother Jingchen, just how formidable is the Saintess of your clan?"
"Senior Xia, let
tell you this, the Saintess has the greatest authority in the Shangguan Clan."
"Uh, uh, uh, then the Saintess's cultivation must be at the Foundation Establishnt Stage?"
Being able to suppress Shangguan Jingyun, Xia Liu could only think so.
"She will surely reach it in the future."
"What do you an?"
"Senior Xia, this involves the secrets of the Shangguan Clan, and I really don't know much..."
Regarding his idol, Shangguan Jingchen naturally wanted to answer.
But he didn't know...
"Alright then, but surely you know what conditions are needed to beco the Saintess?"
Xia Liu asked in another way.
He had a feeling the Saintess of the Shangguan Clan was not simple.
She deliberately wanted him to stay for five days.
If they weren't acquainted or had any relationship, who would be this idle.
"I only know that to beco the Saintess of the Shangguan Clan, one must et stringent conditions. As for specifics, I am not a participant and have no chance to know."
"Then how many other participants do you know?"
"I don't know any, because only the Saintess survives..."
"This..."
Xia Liu wanted to say it was cruel, but eventually stopped.
Maybe that so-called Saintess was secretly watching him.
If he caused trouble,
she might have the Shangguan Clan gang up on him.
Given his current state, the outco would surely be disastrous.
"Senior Xia, don't think too much, rest for five days, and you'll naturally see the Saintess."
"Very well, thank you for your troubles in these coming days, Brother Jingchen."
...
Within a certain divine shrine of the Shangguan Clan, a woman dressed in pure white sat cross-legged beneath a goddess statue.
She wore a pale veil, her features unclear. Yet, judging from her silhouette, she was undoubtedly a graceful fairy, her spiritual eyes subtly exuded vital energy, infinitely alluring…
