"Grandpa, after Xiaoyue is gone, you have to take care of yourself."

"Grandpa knows, and so do you, Xiaoyue'er. You must take care of yourself when you go to a strange place."

"..."

In the courtyard, Zhifeng Xiaoyue and her grandfather were saying their final goodbyes.

This time she went to the Huashan Sect in the Central Plains. She would not be able to come back in a short time.

Soon, the grandfather and grandson said goodbye.

Chief Zhifeng looked at Chen Xinzhu who was standing aside and said respectfully.

"Master Chen, I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Yue'er."

"good."

Chen Xinzhu nodded lightly.

He looked at Zhifeng Xiaoyue on the side. Zhifeng Xiaoyue smiled sweetly at him and nodded lightly.

"Then, let's set off."

Soon, the dazzling pure white sword light enveloped Chen Xinzhu and the others.

The next moment, the sword light soared into the sky and disappeared into the distance in an instant.

In the courtyard, the Zhifeng clan leader looked at the pure white sword light disappearing into the sky and silently sent his blessing.

…

Even though he was carrying two people, Yukong was still flying extremely fast.

In just a few hours, he crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and left the southern border.

Above the sky, Zhifeng Xiaoyue's face was full of amazement as she watched the ground change from rugged mountains and forests to plains in an instant.

"Wow, is this the Central Plains? It's completely different from southern Xinjiang!"

"Indeed, although I have heard about it, seeing this endless flat land with my own eyes is really shocking."

Although Huangshan is seventy-two years old, this is also his first time coming to the Central Plains, and he is no less shocked than Zhifeng Xiaoyue.

"Sure enough, people can't stop where they are, otherwise they won't see anything new at all."

Speaking of this, Zhi Feng Xiaoyue looked at Chen Xinzhu and asked curiously.

"Senior, do you think so when you come to Southern Xinjiang for training?"

Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu replied with a smile.

"A little bit, I've heard of the famous name of Southern Xinjiang for a long time. In addition, my cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, so I wanted to find a new place to practice, so I went to Southern Xinjiang."

"That's right."

Zhi Feng Xiaoyue nodded, and just when she was about to speak, she saw a red-yellow stream of light approaching from the distant sky at great speed.

At the same time, a middle-aged man's voice came from afar.

"This fellow Taoist's aura is a bit strange. I don't know where it comes from?"

Chen Xinzhu looked towards the red and yellow streamer. He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and was wearing a python robe.

Coupled with the fact that he has a face that is somewhat similar to Duan Lian, it is obvious that this person is the contemporary Zhennan King of the Duan family in Dali, known as Prince Duan.

Seeing Chen Xinzhu's extremely young face, Prince Duan's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Fellow Taoist looks a bit young. Are you from southern Xinjiang?"

Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu nodded.

"I have indeed just come out of southern Xinjiang..."

A glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes, and Prince Duan subconsciously thought that Chen Xinzhu was the master of Southern Xinjiang, which also explained the reason for the strange aura.

He has seen all the grandmasters in the Central Plains, but there are quite a few grandmasters in southern Xinjiang that he has never seen.

Just when he was about to say something, Chen Xinzhu continued.

"However, I am not from Southern Xinjiang. I just went to Southern Xinjiang to gain experience."

Um??

Prince Duan was startled.

Before he could ask a question, Chen Xinzhu cupped his fists and said.

"When I was in Chen Xinzhu, Huashan Mountain, I met Prince Duan."

Huashan Chen Hsinchu??

Where had I heard this name before? Suddenly, Prince Duan was shocked and he remembered it.

Isn't this the boy that my granddaughter often talks about?

But, that’s not right!

Isn’t that guy number one on the list?

Just over a year has passed. No matter how good your talent is, if you are able to stand up to the sky, you will only be in the Xiantian realm, right?

The eighteen-year-old Xiantian is still justifiable.

Eighteen-year-old Grandmaster, isn’t that funny?

Thinking of this, Prince Duan was a little angry.

Is this guy looking down on him when he makes such a bad joke or something?

His eyes became wary, and Prince Duan said in a cold tone.

"Duan doesn't like to joke. If fellow Taoist fellow Taoist don't want to tell you your true identity, please tell me the purpose of coming to Yunzhou."

Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu and the others were startled.

Zhifeng Xiaoyue and Huangshan were surprised that Chen Xinzhu's reputation was not obvious.

Chen Xinzhu, on the other hand, was a little baffled.

What are you kidding??

Don't you know me?

Well, it's possible.

After all, he was just a junior in the Houtian realm before this. Even if he won the first place in the ranking, the grandmaster may not know his status.

Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu smiled bitterly in his heart.

It seems that he still thinks highly of himself.

Shaking his head, Chen Xinzhu clasped his fists again.

"I don't have a good reputation, so it's normal that Prince Duan doesn't know me. However, I had an encounter with Fairy Duan Lian from your mansion a year ago during the competition for the top ranking. She can confirm my identity."

After a slight pause, Chen Xinzhu continued.

"As for the purpose of coming to Yunzhou, I am just passing by. I have just returned from my experience in southern Xinjiang and am planning to return to Qinzhou Mountain Gate. If I have caused any intrusion, please forgive me, Prince Duan."

Seeing Chen Xinzhu's precise words, Prince Duan was startled.

This guy doesn't look like he's lying.

However, is it possible for an eighteen-year-old grandmaster?

impossible!!

How is this possible!

Seeing that Prince Duan still didn't believe it, Chen Xinzhu thought for a moment and drew his sword out of its sheath.

Clang!

The sound of sword chanting sounded, and Prince Duan reacted very quickly, and immediately retreated tens of meters vigilantly.

With the unique skills of the Duan family, long-distance attacks can give greater advantage.

However, Chen Xinzhu didn't mean to attack him. He concentrated his mind and a sharp and terrifying true intention emerged instantly.

This is the true meaning of the sword technique of Dugu Nine Swords.

Sensing this true meaning, Prince Duan, who was guarding Chen Xinzhu in the distance, his expression changed instantly.

He recognized it.

Although there are some slight differences from Huashan leader Yan Youxing, there is no doubt that this is the true meaning of the Dugu Nine Swordsmanship, the supreme secret of the Huashan Sect.

"Are you really that little Chen Hsinchu...ahem, are you really Chen Hsinchu from the Huashan sect?"

Originally, Prince Duan wanted to talk about that boy. After all, he was used to saying it when chatting with his granddaughter. However, when he thought that he was facing a strong master of the same level, he quickly changed his mind.

Chen Xinzhu didn't mind hearing this and nodded again.

"I am indeed Chen Xinzhu of the Huashan Sect. Due to various reasons, in short, he survived the Nineteen Heavenly Tribulation in Southern Xinjiang before the next month."
