Chapter 1: When the father suffers humiliation, the son will surely avenge him

  Xiao Wenting was slightly stunned, feeling that the immortal master in front of him was extremely approachable and down-to-earth, completely different from the ones he had met before. Overjoyed, he hastily led the way to the main hall.

  "Xiao family head, this time your Xiao family has produced two people who have been valued by my master of Lu Yun Valley. From now on, they will surely rise to prominence and I would like to congratulate you in advance." In the main hall, Liu Shixiong glanced at Xiao Chen with an expressionless gaze. He was being so friendly to a mere mortal because he was looking at him as the younger brother of the fifth master of Lingyao Valley! Although Xiao Chen was only a registered disciple, his identity was not to be underestimated.

  "What! Lord Xian Shi, you said... our Xiao family actually has two people selected by the Immortal Gate!" Xiaowen Ting heard this and immediately showed a look of extreme joy, asking repeatedly.

  Liu Shixiong was not surprised at all, and smiled nodding: "That's right."

  The Xiao family's crowd heard the words, and their faces immediately showed a look of surprise and delight. The heads of each household couldn't help but glance at their own children, their faces filled with expectation. For three hundred years, not a single cultivator with spiritual blood had emerged, yet this time, two had appeared in succession. How could they not be overjoyed? If one of their younger generation was among the chosen ones, then their family's status within the Xiao clan would naturally rise to new heights, and they might even have a chance to contend for the position of head of the household.

  Xiao Wenting took a deep breath for a moment, his eyes fixed on Xiao Lin, and asked slowly: "Lin Er, have...have you been selected?"

  Seeing the attention from his uncles and elders around him, Xiao Lin felt a sense of superiority in his heart, with a slightly complacent nod on his face.

  "Good! Haha, good, you're indeed the son of Xiao Wenting!" Xiao Wenting's face turned red with excitement, and he repeatedly exclaimed in a somewhat flustered manner.

  The other members of the Xiao family naturally followed to congratulate, but their eyes were filled with envy. They looked at Xiao Wenting with eager eyes, thinking who was the other person?

  Xiao Wenting slightly calmed the emotions in his heart, looked at the eyes of several Xiao family leaders, and asked with a light cough: "Who is the other person? Is it your second uncle's daughter or third uncle's son?"

  Xiao Lin heard this and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, he couldn't utter a word.

  Xiao Wenting was taken aback, a few bad feelings arose in his heart, but for the time being, he couldn't think of what was going on.

  Xiao Wenting's eyes shifted and immediately stopped on Xiao Chen, coldly shouting: "Xiao Chen, tell me, who is the other person that was chosen?"

  Xiao Chen heard this and cast a faint glance at him, but didn't respond.

  Seeing this, Liu's eyebrows rose, his eyes swept over Xiao Chen's calm face, and a hint of understanding gradually emerged in his heart. His gaze at the Xiao family suddenly became somewhat strange.

  Xiao Wenting did not expect Xiao Chen to dare to slap him in the face, his face turned blue and red, and he was so angry that his whole body trembled.

  "Xiao Chen, don't think that just because you participated in the Tianshen Gate test, you can be so rude and ignorant of the rules! And what is your identity, daring to stand alongside Master Xian? You should take a good look at your own status, quickly get out of the Xiao family gate, and never let me see you again!"

  Xiao Chen raised his head, looking at Xiao Wenting's furious face, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, revealing a hint of mockery. At this moment, he was no longer the country boy from three days ago who could be bullied and humiliated without resistance. His current identity was that of a cultivator from Luoyun Valley, and his master was an expert who had reached the late stage of foundation building. Standing in the Xiao family's main hall once again, he had absolute confidence in himself.

  "Where is my father, why haven't I seen him all this time?" With Xiao Fu's temperament, he would definitely be here today, but now he hasn't shown up at all, which makes Xiao Chen feel a little uneasy.

  "Hmph! You and your father are equally detestable. Want to find your father, huh? Haha, Dark Guard One, Dark Guard Two, bring him up for me, so they can have a family reunion!" Seeing that Xiao Chen still didn't respond to him, Xiao Wentian's anger grew, but he immediately sneered instead. He had countless methods to thoroughly teach the two of them a lesson, and there would be plenty of opportunities in the future!

  Xiao Wenting's voice fell, and two people walked out of the great hall. The person they were holding was Xiao's father!

  Only to see at this moment, Xiao Shu's father looked disheveled and pale, with a few streaks of blood at the corner of his mouth. His left arm, which had been properly set earlier, was now bent at an eerie angle, clearly broken again by someone.

  "Hey kid, take your old man back home quickly, otherwise if something happens to him don't blame us for not warning you." The two men threw Xiao's father to the ground, and one of the guards cleared his throat with a sinister laugh.

  "Father!" Xiao Chen was stunned, his eyes suddenly turned completely red, and he quickly rushed to Xiao's father's side, looking at the painful expression on his face, a fierce killing intent surged up in his heart.

  "Cough, don't worry about me, I'm fine. It's just some ordinary injuries, and I'll be okay after resting for a while." Xiao Fu forced a smile on his face, but he was actually afraid that Xiao Chen would do something reckless in his anger, as the current situation of the Xiao family was not one that they could afford to provoke, or else they would only suffer more humiliation.

  "Father, they hurt you, didn't they?" Xiao Chen's face suddenly became extremely calm, the blood red color in his eyes also slowly dissipated, but the icy coldness deep within his pupils was chilling.

  "Xiao Chen, don't be impulsive, let's leave here immediately!" Knowing his son all too well, looking at Xiao Chen's appearance, how could Xiao Father not know that he had already reached the extreme of anger and was afraid that his son would do something out of line. He struggled to get up from his seat.

  Xiao Chen supported Xiao Fu to sit down and said warmly, "Father, don't worry, I've grown up now. In the future, I can help you weather any storm and absolutely won't let anyone humiliate you in the slightest." As he spoke, he stood up, his eyes coldly staring at Dark Guard One and Dark Guard Two.

  "Xiao Chen, my junior brother, do you need me to take action?" Liu's face was also extremely gloomy at this moment. Xiao Chen was already a member of the Luoyun Valley, and now his father had been severely injured by two ordinary people. Wasn't this a slap in the face for the entire Luoyun Valley? Moreover, Xiao Chen was also a registered disciple of Lingyao Valley's fifth master uncle, and it was said that he was highly appreciated by him. In the future, there might be opportunities to soar to great heights. Helping him now would be doing him a personal favor, which might come in handy someday.

  "No need, I can handle this myself." Xiao Chen shook his head slightly, the humiliation his father had suffered, he would personally take back tenfold, a hundredfold.

  "What! Could it be... could another person actually be him!!" Upon hearing Liu's address, Xiao Wenting's face suddenly turned stunned, and then his face was filled with incredulity as he cried out in a loud voice.

  Xiao Fu heard this and his expression stiffened slightly, with an endless surprise flashing in his eyes.

  As for the two Dark Guards, their faces were filled with a look of panic.

  "Run!" The two of them simultaneously exerted their internal energy and quickly fled backwards. Although the other party was a cultivator, after all, he had just entered the door and could learn some skills, with their abilities, they might still have a chance to escape. As long as they could leave this place, in the future, they would hide their names and identities, how could that kid find them?

  Xiao Chen smiled coldly, watching as the two figures retreated tens of meters away. He flipped his hand and pulled out a yellow paper from his storage bag, which was densely covered with countless lines and emitted waves of energy fluctuations - it was the fireball technique talisman that Liu Tao had given him!

  With the talisman in hand, the extremely weak spiritual energy inside his body surged into it. Xiaochen suddenly felt a wave of weakness spread through his body, but the lines on the fireball talisman instantly brightened up. Two dark red fireballs, each about the size of a fist, appeared and shot towards the two escaping Dark Guards.

  "Ah!"

  "Ah!"

  The two let out a miserable scream and were suddenly stopped, caught up by the fireball. The two had no chance to resist at all, and were directly burned into ashes, without leaving any trace.

  As the two dark guards of the Xiao family were reduced to ashes without any resistance, the Xiao family members were clearly intimidated by this cultivator's methods. Even Liu Shixiong's pupils constricted violently. This Xiao Chen had just entered the sect and yet he was already able to cultivate spiritual energy and possess a talisman, it seemed that he was highly valued by Fifth Master Uncle. It would be good to get along with him in the future.

  Xiao Chen felt a wave of weakness spreading through his body, the last bit of spiritual energy had been exhausted, and he had once again become a weak and powerless young boy. However, at this moment, everyone's eyes looking at him were filled with reverence and fear!

  "Father, who ordered them to make a move? Tell me?" Xiao Chen's face was calm, but after he had just killed two people without hesitation, everyone looked at him with a calm expression again, and their hearts were filled with a few points of chill.

  Xiao Wenting's face was instantly covered in cold sweat, his eyes locked onto Xiao Chen's gaze, and the master of the Xiao family's complexion turned extremely pale.

  "Ling'er, quickly save me! You've also become a cultivator, hurry and help me deal with Xiao Chen!" Seeing Xiao Lin, Xiao Wenting was like grasping the last straw, his mind slightly calming down. His son, also a master of the mystic arts, couldn't protect him?

  Xiao Lin's face suddenly turned pale upon hearing this. Although he had also become a member of the Luoyun Valley, the treatment he received was vastly different from Xiao Chen's! In the past half month, except for the initial meeting with his master, no one had paid attention to him, and not even a single spell had been taught to him, so how could he possibly deal with Xiao Chen?

  Xiao Chen's eyes were getting closer and closer, Xiao Wenting's face was full of shock and anger, even Xiao Lin was retreating continuously, his face pale.

  "Morning son, after all he is your uncle, you can't do something that would make gods and men angry." Just then, Xiao's father's voice came slowly.

  Xiao Wenting immediately retorted, "Not bad, Xiao Chen. I am your elder uncle, even if there were things in the past that I didn't do right by you, but did I ever think of harming your lives? How can you treat me like this? I..."
