Chapter 1398 Critical Force
"Mr. Xiao, please take a seat."
Sima Cheng invited Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi nodded and sat down with Sima Cheng. At this moment, they were the only two people in the living room.
"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Xiao's trip should not just be for Xiao Wan and the other two, right?"
Sima Cheng came straight to the point.
"Indeed not."
Xiao Yi responded, it was time to make his intentions known.
"In that case, Mr. Xiao, please feel free to speak."
Sima Cheng said.
"Compared to other top sects in the ancient martial arts world, I don't know much about Chixiao Pavilion. It's all because of Wan'er and the others. Of course, some unpleasant things happened."
Xiao Yi said calmly.
"Some things have already passed, so let's turn the page. I didn't know about Wei Zhen's matter at first. That was his fate.
Mr. Xiao doesn’t know that he covets the artifact not for himself, but for…”
Sima Cheng paused.
"Yes, I know."
Xiao Yi nodded, it was because of factional disputes.
"As for why I came to Chixiao Pavilion, it's actually because I've been organizing an ancient martial arts alliance recently, and it's basically taken shape now."
"Ancient Martial Arts Alliance?"
Sima Cheng repeated.
“Yes, as the Heavenly King, I must put the safety of China first.
Now, because of the artifact, many external forces and even divine groups have entered China, hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to act. This is a huge hidden danger!"
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"I've heard about this, too."
Sima Cheng nodded.
"Mr. Xiao wants to use the power of the alliance to resist the Outer Gods?"
"That's exactly what I meant. No matter how strong the law enforcers are, they can't compare to the strong men of the entire ancient martial arts world united together. Especially recently, many people in the Kunlun world have been ready to make a move."
Xiao Yi continued.
"There is a problem."
Sima Cheng frowned.
"Master, please speak."
Xiao Yi said.
"Those forces you united...won't they have ideas about the artifact?"
Sima Cheng asked.
"What do you think of the artifact, Pavilion Master?"
"Me? If I say I'm not interested at all, will Mr. Xiao believe me?"
"Don't believe it, of course, that's human nature."
"Yes, everyone has desires, maybe for themselves, maybe for the sect. The position of Chixiao Pavilion in the ancient martial arts world needs to be consolidated. If we can really get a divine weapon, it will be of great significance! This is a fact."
"Well, the artifact does have its extraordinary significance, but it does not represent everything... Let's get back to the topic just now, and I will answer the Pavilion Master's doubts."
Xiao Yi walked neither hurriedly nor slowly.
"The forces I have united no longer value the artifact, but the person above the artifact. As for this person, it is me, hehe."
"Oh? I'm all ears. Frankly speaking, I do have doubts. Mr. Xiao, with just his status as the 'Heavenly King', I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to make them completely submit."
Sima Cheng said.
"The Pavilion Master is right. Of course, it cannot be said to be surrender. Then why am I so confident?"
Xiao Yi kept the question in suspense and took a sip of tea.
Sima Cheng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly guessed something.
"Could it be a divine weapon..."
"Yes, I do have a divine weapon in my hand. They all know about it."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"This……"
Sima Cheng frowned, still a little bit unbelieving.
"Senior, you should know that this is the first time in such a long time that I have taken the initiative to admit to others that I have a divine weapon, hehe."
Xiao Yi changed his name, but he actually had no intention of hiding this fact, as it was also the capital for him to establish an alliance.
"As far as I know, the Kongtong Seal and the Donghuang Bell both already have owners. So what is in Mr. Xiao's hand... the Fuxi Qin?"
Sima Cheng guessed.
"I have only heard about these three artifacts. Otherwise..."
"It seems that my methods are pretty good. I even managed to hide it from you, Senior."
"what for?"
“The artifacts that you mentioned are actually all in my possession. Of course, there are a few others as well. So why do you think the Kongtong Mountain, Yaoshen Valley, and other forces are so devoted to following me?
Of course it’s not entirely because I’m the Heavenly King or because I’m powerful.”
Xiao Yi explained.
Hearing this, Sima Cheng's expression changed completely. How could Xiao Yi do it so flawlessly?
Also, in this world... there are actually so many divine artifacts that have appeared and fallen into Xiao Yi's hands?
"However, they don't know how many artifacts I have. Senior, you are the first person I told about this."
Xiao Yi emphasized.
"Mr. Xiao... do you trust me so much?"
Sima Cheng was a little surprised.
"Well, first of all, I trust you, Senior. With your status, you will not sit idly by and watch China fall into chaos. Secondly, of course, I have some confidence in myself."
Xiao Yi used a respectful title. After all, the other party had lived for a hundred or two hundred years and had no other bad deeds, so he could be more respectful.
"I know that Senior's strength should be above mine, but if it is a life-and-death battle, it is still unknown who is stronger and who is weaker. In fact, I might even win against Senior."
Sima Cheng's heart moved. He suddenly thought of the state of the giant dragon last night. Xiao Yi must have a trump card other than the divine weapon...
"Are you really willing to gamble? Since I know you have a lot of artifacts, how can I remain rational?"
Sima Cheng said seriously.
"There is indeed a certain element of gambling, but I still trust my own intuition more."
Xiao Yi looked into Sima Cheng's eyes, and their eyes met. They stared at each other for a long time.
"Hahaha……"
Sima Cheng suddenly burst into laughter.
Xiao Yi also smiled and drank his tea calmly.
"But there is one thing I can't guarantee, or I'm afraid you may find it difficult to deal with."
After a while, Sima Cheng spoke again.
"Senior, please speak."
Xiao Yi put down the teacup.
"To resist the outer gods, I, Sima Cheng, will not retreat a single step. I am also very grateful for your trust in me, the Heavenly King."
Sima Cheng said seriously.
"Ah."
Xiao Yi nodded, feeling relieved.
"There is just one thing you need to consider carefully. I, as well as those people from Kongtong Mountain and Yaoshen Valley that you mentioned, will probably have some difficulties when facing the strong men from Kunlun Realm."
Sima Cheng continued.
"I understand what you mean, Senior."
Xiao Yi responded. Some of the strong men coming out of Kunlun Realm have extremely powerful backgrounds, and even Chixiao Pavilion cannot ignore them.
“Don’t worry, senior. Leave them to us law enforcers. I have other ways. You don’t need to confront me.
In addition, in a few days, I will set off for Kunlun Realm to relieve the pressure outside."
Xiao Yi said.
"You're going to Kunlun Realm?"
Sima Cheng was surprised.
"Ah."
"As far as I know, you are indeed not from Kunlun Realm."
"I'm not. This is my first time going there."
Xiao Yi shrugged.
"Then why are you going to Kunlun Realm..."
Sima Cheng hesitated, not knowing whether he should ask.
"For other artifacts, for my fiancée, and... for those restless people..."
Xiao Yi was calm and composed.
Sima Cheng's thoughts raced. It was hard for him to understand where Xiao Yi's confidence came from. After all, he still had no idea about his details and background.
As for the Xiao family in Kunlun Realm, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yi.
"Before that, I will completely build an alliance of forces in the ancient martial arts world!"
Xiao Yi said.
"I understand……"
Sima Cheng nodded slowly, still feeling quite shaken in his heart.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that something big might happen in China in the near future, and Xiao Yi in front of him would play a crucial role...
