396: Chapter 396 Defeat You First

Therefore, the shopkeeper made a decision.

That was to waive Chen Hu's meal fee for this evening.

Regarding this, Chen Hu did not decline.

His dish had been intercepted, and this restaurant also bore responsibility.

If it were any other Mahayana Realm cultivator, they would likely have destroyed the entire restaurant directly.

Him eating just one dish for free was already considered an act of mercy.

However, it had to be said that the Dragon and Tiger Fight dish was indeed quite delicious.

Chen Hu ate with great satisfaction.

After wandering around Wangxian City for a while and purchasing some local specialties to send into the Small World imperial palace, he returned to the inn.

This was a habit he had developed this month; every time he arrived at a city, he would purchase some local specialties to send into the Small World imperial palace.

Because they had tasted the sweetness of rapidly increasing their cultivation, his women were all very enthusiastic about Cultivating and were unwilling to come out to play.

Seeing them work so hard, Chen Hu conversely felt like a slacker.

The next morning.

Chen Hu left Wangxian City through another gate.

What he felt slightly regretful about was that the City Lord of Wangxian City did not come to cause him trouble.

But upon reflection, he laughed; as the saying goes, the trope of beating the small only for the old to jump out only happens in novels.

There were too many experts in the Great Cultivation World.

For a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator, if one were not careful and cautious, they would have likely been wiped out long ago.

Therefore, taking revenge for a son simply did not exist.

Time flew by for several days.

At noon on this day.

Chen Hu passed by a village, only to smell a pungent scent of blood soaring to the sky.

Sweeping with his Divine Sense, he discovered that the nearby village was being slaughtered by a gang of bandits.

The village, which had a population of over a thousand, had already had more than half of its people slaughtered.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort resounded through the village, and those bandits who were wantonly killing began to bleed from their seven orifices.

A moment later, these bandits all died in terror.

A figure flashed by.

Chen Hu appeared in the sky above the village, along with his horse.

"Are you willing to stay here and continue living, or shall I send you to a safe place to live?" Chen Hu said to the survivors below.

After the bandits' wanton slaughter, the remaining ones were all women and children.

Without men, they had no support, so most of the women expressed their willingness to go to a safe place to live.

A small portion of the remaining people were still unwilling to leave.

Regarding this, Chen Hu did not force them; he waved his hand and took the women and children who were willing to leave into the Small World to settle them down.

At the same time, he also dug a large pit to bury the dead villagers.

As for those bandits, Chen Hu waved his hand, swept up their corpses, and threw them into a forest dozens of miles away to serve as rations for wild beasts.

Before he knew it, a year had passed.

Chen Hu's underling points had already increased to 417,154,000,000,000.

And in this year, he had also arrived at Tianyu City.

Tianyu City was a subsidiary city of the Tianyu Sacred Land.

Its scale was many times larger than Jueqing City.

During this year, Chen Hu's eleven wives had all made great progress.

The five women, including Shen Xiangjun, had all made a Breakthrough to the Spirit Severing Realm.

And they had even reached the fourth level of the Spirit Severing Realm.

After their Breakthrough, Chen Hu gifted them each a set of Low Grade Dao Artifacts, and after consuming diluted heaven and earth treasure liquid multiple times, their Physical Bodies had already reached the Dao Integration Realm level.

Therefore, their combat power was terrifyingly strong.

They could completely rival ordinary Dao Integration Realm cultivators.

As for the six women, including Luo Ningshuang, they had all stepped into the Spirit Severing Realm last month.

Besides this, Xia Qianqian's progress was also very great.

Currently, she possessed the cultivation of the fifth level of the Dao Integration Realm, and by relying on the two top-grade Dao Artifacts she possessed, her combat power had already far surpassed the other eight Saintesses.

She only lagged behind another Saintess, Zhantai Sisi, in terms of cultivation.

That Zhantai Sisi's cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the Dao Integration Realm.

Ordinary ninth-level Dao Integration Realm cultivators were simply not her match.

Furthermore, Little Dragon Maiden had also stepped into the Dao Integration Realm.

Relying on her Bloodline Divine Ability, her overall combat power could reach the seventh level of the Dao Integration Realm.

As soon as Chen Hu stepped into Tianyu City, he heard a piece of news.

That was, in ten days, the Tianyu Sacred Land would open its gates to accept Disciples.

Anyone whose age did not exceed one hundred years could go to the Tianyu Sacred Land's stronghold in Tianyu City to test their Spiritual Root.

As long as one possessed a Low Grade four-element Spiritual Root, they could be selected.

Chen Hu remembered that the Seven Emotions Sword Sect required at least a three-element Spiritual Root to recruit Disciples.

It was not surprising that this Holy Land only required a four-element Spiritual Root or higher to recruit Disciples.

Of course, possessing a four-element Spiritual Root did not mean one could enter the Tianyu Sacred Land.

One still had to pass multiple trials to be admitted.

Chen Hu found a high-end inn in the city to stay at.

Then he sent a message to Xia Qianqian: "I have arrived in Tianyu City, staying at Ruyun Inn."

Soon, Xia Qianqian responded: "Wait for me."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the courtyard gate of the small courtyard where Chen Hu was staying was pushed open.

It was Xia Qianqian who had arrived.

"Why did you only arrive today, you guy!"

Xia Qianqian threw herself directly into Chen Hu's arms.

Chen Hu reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, then whispered softly: "Silly girl, you are being followed!"

"What?"

Xia Qianqian exclaimed: "Someone actually dares to follow me?"

She was, after all, at the fifth level of the Dao Integration Realm, and her combat power was far beyond that of an ordinary ninth-level Dao Integration Realm cultivator.

She was still very confident in herself.

"Are you not coming out yet?"

Chen Hu said toward a certain spot in the Void Realm.

The next moment, the Void Realm split open.

A stunningly beautiful woman walked out from it.

"Revered Master!"

Upon seeing this woman, Xia Qianqian subconsciously called out.

Immortal Venerable Deputy Sect Master Yun Lan ignored Xia Qianqian, instead locking her gaze onto Chen Hu, and said indifferently: "You have such great audacity, actually daring to seduce the Saintess of my Holy Land; what crime should you be charged with?"

In the past two years, her Disciple had left the Holy Land many times.

At first, she had not been suspicious.

But gradually, she had developed suspicions.

Therefore, she had quietly followed her this time.

After seeing her own Disciple embracing a man, she had become slightly agitated and leaked some of her aura.

"Revered Master, you have misunderstood; Brother Hu and I are in love with each other, and I hope Revered Master will grant your blessing!" Xia Qianqian hurriedly explained.

"Hmph!"

Immortal Venerable Deputy Sect Master Yun Lan let out a cold snort, pointed a finger, and sealed Xia Qianqian.

Then, staring at Chen Hu, she said: "Speak, who exactly are you?"

Because she discovered that the man before her was actually also an expert at the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm.

It was precisely because she learned of Chen Hu's cultivation that she believed Chen Hu had ulterior motives, rather than being truly in love with her Disciple.

In her view, anyone who could Cultivate to the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm was an old monster.

How could an old monster fall in love with her Disciple? Instead, he must be using the guise of romance to deceive her Disciple.

Through the Eye of Insight, Chen Hu discovered that Immortal Venerable Deputy Sect Master Yun Lan's favorability toward him was -30 points.

Thus, he knew that explaining was useless.

Therefore, he grabbed Xia Qianqian and turned into a streak of light, rushing toward the outside of the city.

If he wanted this woman to listen to him properly, he had to defeat her.

After all, the older a person is, the more stubborn they become.

The person before him was a being who had lived for over ten thousand years.

"Where are you going!"

Seeing that Chen Hu had taken her Disciple and ran, Immortal Venerable Deputy Sect Master Yun Lan immediately gave chase.

Very quickly, Chen Hu brought Xia Qianqian to a desolate plain where there was no one around, and released the Seal on Xia Qianqian's body.

"Brother Hu, why did you run!" Xia Qianqian asked in confusion.

"Do you think your Revered Master would believe me if I just explained a few words?"

Xia Qianqian thought for a moment: "Probably not!"

Chen Hu laughed: "I lured her here precisely to defeat her first, and then explain to her!"

"You are crazy; my Revered Master is at the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm. Can you defeat her?" Xia Qianqian exclaimed.

At this time, Immortal Venerable Deputy Sect Master Yun Lan caught up and sneered: "You certainly have a big mouth, actually wanting to defeat this Venerable!"

"Won't you know if you try!"

Chen Hu said dismissively, flicking out a strand of magic power.

That magic power landed on Xia Qianqian and immediately turned into an energy shield to protect her.
