"That's right, Mr. Chen. Not only are the ancestors of our Zhushen Hall still alive, but so are the ancestors of Lingxiao Hall, Xiaoyao Valley, and more than half of the ancient martial arts sects!"
"Because after a martial artist becomes a Martial God, they have a lifespan of a thousand years, so most of them are still alive."
The ancient martial arts sects were founded by martial artists who survived the catastrophe five hundred years ago. Since Martial Gods have a lifespan of a thousand years, many of them are still alive.
After hearing Chu He's explanation, Chen Xiao's doubts arose again: "Then why didn't I see Senior Changqing? Didn't he care during such a critical situation just now?"
Chu He shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you don't know, but our ancient martial arts sect ancestors are not in their respective sects. They live on Jile Island... In fact, all ancient martial arts world martial artists over a hundred years old will go to Jile Island to continue their martial arts cultivation."
"Jile Island? What kind of place is that?"
Chen Xiao asked.
"Jile Island is a medium-thousand world that is more conducive to the cultivation of high-level martial artists. In short... If Mr. Chen wants to find the ancestors, you can only go to Jile Island, but..."
Chu He hesitated at this point.
"But what?"
Chen Xiao quickly asked.
"It's just that the ancestors don't like us disturbing them... Of course, Mr. Chen, you are a legendary peerless genius. I think they should make an exception."
Chu He's words were somewhat hesitant, and he probably wasn't very sure.
However, Chen Xiao didn't care whether they liked it or not; he was definitely going to Jile Island.
"Hall Master Chu, I want to go to Jile Island. Can you tell me its location?"
Chen Xiao said directly without beating around the bush.
He wanted to find Chu Changqing not only to clarify where the underworld was, but also because he had many questions he hadn't had time to ask in Jiuyi Abyss.
"That's naturally no problem."
Chu He readily agreed, then changed the subject, "Mr. Chen, why don't you stay in my humble abode for a few days? After I finish my current affairs, I will personally take you to Jile Island."
Zhushen Hall was leveled by the hurricane, and everything was in ruins. Moreover, the disciples of Zhushen Hall had to temporarily relocate to Lingxiao Hall. As the Hall Master of Zhushen Hall, Chu He had a lot to do during this period.
"No need to trouble yourself, Hall Master Chu. Just tell me the location."
Chen Xiao did not want to waste any more time.
"Mr. Chen, it's no use telling you the location. Jile Island is also a medium-thousand world. The entrance is located on Mount Yulong in the northeast. You need to be received by the old man guarding the mountain to enter. In short, it will be very troublesome without a familiar guide."
As Chu He was speaking, Chu Qingluan suddenly volunteered, "Father, I know where the entrance is, and I also know Grandpa who guards the mountain. Let me take Mr. Chen there."
"Uh, this... Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
In fact, everything Chu He had said earlier was a prelude to this sentence.
As Chu Qingluan's father, he hoped his daughter could find a good husband.
And the person in front of him was the dragon among men, and Chu He couldn't think of anyone more suitable.
Chen Xiao didn't think that much and said politely, "I have no problem. Then I'll have to trouble Miss Chu!"
He didn't care who took him, as long as he was taken there.
Chu Qingluan was secretly delighted, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Then let's rest tonight and set off tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? No, no, no!"
Chen Xiao directly rejected Chu Qingluan's suggestion, "Let's set off now!"
Having obtained the sacred relic of Jiuyi Abyss, there was no reason to stay here any longer. Chen Xiao did not want to waste any more time.
Chu Qingluan pouted, and finally agreed. In front of Chen Xiao, she really didn't have the leverage to throw a tantrum.
Of course, before setting off, Chen Xiao had to say goodbye to Lu Datou and Gongsun Yi.
"Uncle Lu, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first. We'll meet again another day!"
"No problem, no problem, kid. I didn't expect you to have grown to this extent in just a few months. Uncle Lu is proud of you. It's a pity I couldn't have a drink with you this time. We must make up for it next time!"
"If Uncle Lu wants to drink, just come to Jiangcheng to find me, and we'll drink to our heart's content!"
"Everyone, we'll meet again on the road. See you later!"
Finally, Chen Xiao cupped his hands and bid farewell to everyone. Everyone responded in kind.
At this moment, Ye Santong suddenly walked over and said, "Mr. Chen, I heard you are going to Jile Island. I have a small request. I wonder if it's convenient for you?"
"Tell me what it is first, and then I'll know if it's convenient."
Chen Xiao was not polite to Ye Santong, but he dotingly stroked Xiao Hongchan's head.
"Mr. Chen, I would like to ask you to take Xiao Hongchan with you and hand her over to my Xiaoyao Valley ancestor, Ye Xiaoyao, after arriving at Jile Island. I wonder if Mr. Chen can agree."
Ye Santong asked respectfully.
Chen Xiao agreed without thinking: "It's a small matter, I promise."
He didn't ask why Xiao Hongchan was being sent to Jile Island. Since it was on the way, and he quite liked Xiao Hongchan, he agreed directly.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"
Ye Santong cupped his hands in thanks.
Chen Xiao waved his hand, indicating it was nothing, and then rubbed Xiao Hongchan's head, "Xiao Hongchan, are you ready? If you're ready, we'll be on our way!"
"I'm ready, big brother!"
Xiao Hongchan directly hugged Chen Xiao's thigh and clung to him.
Chen Xiao's head was full of black lines, but seeing the child's naive and cute appearance, Chen Xiao finally endured it.
Chen Xiao summoned the Yitian Sword, made it bigger and longer, jumped onto it himself, and then shouted to Chu Qingluan, "Miss Chu, we're setting off!"
Chu Qingluan, under the envious gazes of everyone, jumped onto the Yitian Sword.
The Yitian Sword soared into the sky, and until it flew out of the Gate of Boundary Origin and completely disappeared from everyone's sight, did they finally take their eyes back.
In their eyes, Chen Xiao was a living legend, and the deeds they witnessed today could be brought up over drinks every now and then for the rest of their lives!
Returning to the outside world, Chen Xiao's divine sense finally recovered. He didn't have time to say goodbye to Qi Qingfei and Lin Zicong, and directly flew into the sky at an altitude of ten thousand meters on his sword.
The wind whistled past the ears of the three people. Xiao Hongchan clung tightly to Chen Xiao's thigh, her face pale.
Chen Xiao felt that something was wrong with her. After asking, he found out that this little girl who feared nothing was actually afraid of heights.
Chen Xiao simply held her in his arms, which could alleviate it somewhat. Before long, the little girl fell into a deep sleep in his arms.
Behind him, Chu Qingluan, after seeing that Xiao Hongchan had fallen asleep peacefully, gritted her teeth and boldly leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Chen Xiao's waist...
