After all, Xiao Jingtian's actions were tantamount to the best form of publicity.
Could you please explain why?
Although the Azure Dragon Society is no ordinary force, it is naturally willing to accept someone like Xiao Jingtian.
Gui Chen simply couldn't understand how Xiao Jingtian, with his strength, could establish his own sect and dominate a region.
Even if the Azure Dragon Society is renowned throughout the martial arts world, and its leader, Ximen Yu, is a taboo figure, surely they wouldn't surrender before even engaging in battle?
If it were really that easy, why haven't the three great dynasties and the World Society submitted to them?
"There's nothing to hide."
Xiao Jingtian had spent most of his time in seclusion cultivating and rarely ventured into the martial world, so he was not very cunning and spoke frankly:
"My younger brother, 'Big Boss' Xiao Aoshi, and I are both sons of extraordinary figures in the Central Plains martial arts world."
"Unfortunately, this man abandoned his wife and children in pursuit of power, causing my brothers to be displaced from childhood."
"My mother fell ill from missing him so much that she eventually died with resentment in her heart."
"For many years, I have diligently practiced martial arts and run Xuanhua Company with pride, all for the purpose of avenging this person."
"However, even after another thousand years, the two of us will still be no match for him."
“Avenging our mother has always been my brother’s lifelong wish.”
"The hope was initially slim, but now—"
His gaze was intense, and he said in a deep voice:
"The Great Dragon Head Ximen Yu is unparalleled under heaven!"
"This person is no match for the Great Dragon Head."
"We have no other request but that the Great Dragon Leader cripple his cultivation!"
"Why not teach 530 a good lesson and vent our anger?"
"The Dragon Head Token is here! With the two of us brothers, plus this token, we have..."
"I'm sure the Great Dragon Head will grant us this small wish."
Xiao Jingtian made no attempt to conceal the entire feud between him and his brothers and Xiao Sanxiao.
Taking advantage of Gui Chen and the others' absence, he had already obtained the Dragon Head Token from Ji Yaohua.
Gui Chen and the others were speechless upon hearing this astonishing inside story.
Bu Yuanting's heart stirred—
Could the heartless man Xiao Jingtian mentioned be none other than Xiao Sanxiao, who asked him to hide his identity and infiltrate Japan?
Laughing three times, laughing so hard it shakes the heavens, and then there's the "Big Boss" laughing arrogantly at the world.
They're clearly a family!
This matter is truly strange.
He had been entrusted by his father to abandon his wife and children and go to Japan, only to find out that his father was dealing with his son.
The son was even more straightforward; unable to defeat his father, he joined the Green Dragon Society and asked the Great Dragon Leader for help.
Chapter 173 The Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns
I thought that preventing a great calamity was a noble cause, but who knew that this family was just fooling around?
What did you get?
Both abandoned their wives and children, spending half their lives in exile.
Thinking of this, Bu Yuanting wanted nothing more than to curse Xiao Sanxiao's entire family.
He turned to look at Bu Jingyun, filled with remorse.
"this......"
Even the experienced Gui Chen was at a loss at this moment.
He thought for a moment before saying:
"Mr. Xiao, you and your younger brother are willing to abandon darkness and join the Azure Dragon Society; we naturally welcome that."
"But you brothers are exceptionally talented; such a significant matter is beyond the control of a mere altar master like myself."
"How about I introduce you to the Azure Dragon Peak, and let the dragon leaders decide?"
Xiao Jingtian's martial arts skills were unparalleled, enabling him to defeat Fahai, and his Xuanhua ship, which shone brightly in the world, repeatedly appeared on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.
These two brothers are indeed talented, but Guichen cannot make the decision about their joining the association.
"Perfect!"
Xiao Jingtian was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Although the location of Qinglong Peak was exposed due to the Hundred Flowers Ranking, no one outside of the Qinglong Society knew its whereabouts.
How could he not be overjoyed to have the opportunity to ascend to the summit of Azure Dragon?
"Where is your younger brother now?"
Gui Chen looked around but did not see Xiao Aoshi's figure.
"My younger brother mentioned that there had been some misunderstandings between the Xuanhua ship and the Qinglong Society."
"Whether openly or privately, they have indeed caused the Azure Dragon Society a lot of trouble."
He believed that if one wanted to join the Azure Dragon Society, one should bring some gifts for the dragon leaders.
"So I arrived first, while he went to prepare a gift."
Having decided to join the Azure Dragon Society, Xiao Jingtian explained the reasons without reservation.
Upon hearing this, Gui Chen smiled knowingly.
The Azure Dragon Society's intelligence network is unparalleled in the world.
After Ebizo's identity was exposed, the investigation following this lead revealed that Xuanhua Ship Company was secretly causing trouble.
The reason is that the West Gate Chief is away and has not returned, while the Second Chief, Donglai, is currently in seclusion.
Only Xiaoyaozi and Zhang Sanfeng were stationed at the summit of Qinglong Peak.
Moreover, Xuanhua is located in a remote area of the Nine Provinces, and the Azure Dragon Society still has many matters to deal with, both openly and secretly.
Therefore, no action was taken against the Xuanhua ship for a long time.
Unexpectedly, the head of Xuanhua has now come to surrender on his own initiative.
That saves us a lot of trouble!
"Excellent! Please, Mr. Xiao, accompany me."
"Jingyun, shall we return to Azure Dragon Peak together?"
Before leaving, Gui Chen asked Bu Jingyun a question.
"Please wait a moment, Master."
Bu Jingyun's journey down the mountain was originally to carry out Xin Yuehu's mission.
Now that the mission is complete, it is indeed time to return to Azure Dragon Peak.
However, upon suddenly reuniting with her father, Bu Yuanting, she still had a thousand words to say.
Bu Yuanting knew his son's intentions perfectly well, and immediately said:
"There's plenty of time in the future; there's no need for father and son to rush their conversation."
"But......"
Bu Jingyun looked at Xueyuan, the "Goddess", who was standing quietly not far away.
The intention is self-evident.
The old Fahai once said that even if he were defeated, the god of immortality would personally intervene.
This person dared to call himself a "god" and was able to command the old Fahai.
Their strength is definitely far superior to Bu Yuanting's!
If Bu Jingyun returns to Qinglong Peak, he will naturally be safe and sound.
But how can Bu Yuanting, living alone in the martial world, withstand the god of immortality?
Why are you looking at me like that...?
Xue Yuan looked aggrieved. She was upset because Bu Jingyun resembled the god of immortality.
He secretly helped Bu Jingyun when they were at Tongfu Inn.
She was the one who saved Shen Bijun and Ji Yaohua.
At this moment, Bu Jingyun's expression clearly showed that he was wary of her.
"Jingyun, you need not worry about me."
Bu Yuanting smiled calmly.
"We can't defeat that 'god,' but escaping isn't difficult."
"I have truly failed you and your son during these years of wandering in Japan."
"Now that you have established yourself in the Green Dragon Society, your future is bright."
"Now that I have returned to the Central Plains, I should go to Yu Nong's grave to pay my respects."
Yu Nong is Bu Jingyun's birth mother and Bu Yuanting's first wife.
Tears welled up in Bu Yuanting's eyes when he mentioned his deceased wife. Decades of separation by death had filled him with grief.
"I shall take my leave now."
Bu Jingyun understood, realizing it was inappropriate to disturb his father's memorial service at this moment. His words of taking his leave meant he needed to return to Qinglong Peak to report back.
Bu Yuanting nodded slightly.
With a flick of his sleeve, Gui Chen vanished like smoke from the Azure Dragon Society's assassins. In the blink of an eye, he left with Xiao Jingtian, Bu Jingyun, and the copper box.
After his son had completely disappeared, Bu Yuanting apologized to Xue Yuan:
"Princess, my son was very rude just now..."
"Just call me Xueyuan."
Xueyuan waved her hand to interrupt, turning to the worried group at Tongfu Inn. She took out a gold ingot from her bosom and handed it to Tong Xiangyu:
"Today's turmoil in the martial world has affected you all; these gifts should be enough to compensate for your losses."
That's more than enough!
Everyone at the inn stared in disbelief. This ingot of gold could easily rebuild ten inns.
"Young lady, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva..."
Bu Yuanting sighed inwardly at the girl's profound cultivation and compassionate heart, while his own son seemed rather dull in comparison.
"Now that this matter is settled, it's time to return to the Search for Gods Palace."
Xueyuan brushed the dust off her sleeves, and her figure gradually faded.
"Farewell, Senior Bu."
Bu Yuanting sighed deeply and took a step in a certain direction. Perhaps his beloved Yu Nong was buried there.
The small-scale conflict in Qixia Town has stirred up a storm across the land. The appearance of Xiao Jingtian and Fahai, and the news of the Xiao brothers joining the Azure Dragon Society, will ultimately bring about earth-shattering changes to the martial arts world.
Above the heavens, the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers Ranking once again shines with dazzling brilliance.
It instantly enveloped the entire land of Kyushu, reaching every corner.
Everyone looked up, eagerly anticipating witnessing this grand Heavenly Hundred Flowers Ranking.
What stunning beauties will grace this list!
