Chapter 948: Trouble at the Supreme Sky Sec

t

Xiao Chen watched Lord Jiu’s departure with regret. After his conferral of Kingship, he would have his own territory. At that time, he would definitely need people.

Without a doubt, Lord Jiu was a talent.

He had knowledge of all sorts of treasures, and his skill at digging into the ground was divine. Furthermore, he had a keen nose for danger and a good perception for all sorts of restrictions.

How unfortunate. After parting, Xiao Chen might never see Lord Jiu again.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

A strong wind blew, and Lord Jiu came rushing back in a hurry. He smiled awkwardly and said, “Speaking of which, Young Master Xiao, do you have any connections? The stuff I have on hand is not easy to get rid off.”

All the spatial rings in Lord Jiu’s hands were spoils. If there were just a few of them, there would be no problem. He could easily get rid of them at an auction.

However, many among them were the possessions of grandmaster-level Martial Sages. When added together, the total was horrifying.

These grandmaster-level Martial Sages would definitely have factions behind them. If the items were carefully checked, successfully getting the goods out might be troublesome.

Of course, there was a specialized black market that could deal with these spoils. However, the prices of these goods would get reduced drastically. Naturally, Lord Jiu would not agree to that.

Xiao Chen thought for a while. Then, he recalled his connection with Ying Qiong and the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion. He should use that. To her, this would be a small matter.

“I do have some connections. I guarantee that you will not make a loss.”

Lord Jiu smiled and said, “Good, good. Let’s travel together first, then. After all, I have nothing else to do, and I am in no rush.”

The Supreme Sky Sect was very far from the Primal Chaos Domain. However, with transportation formations and Xiao Chen’s Freedom Wings, he would not spend much time if he made a beeline for the Supreme Sky Sect.

----

Seven days later, the majestic silhouette of Supreme Sky City appeared before Xiao Chen.

He took out a medallion and passed it to Lord Jiu, telling Lord Jiu to carry on ahead to the peak outside Supreme Sky City that the Supreme Sky Sect had given to him.

Xiao Chen had to see the First Elder, Han Qinghe, as soon as possible, to clarify the matters of the King conferring ceremony and figure out exactly what was going on.

As he walked, gazes occasionally fell on him. Then, hushed whispers followed.

Xiao Chen was no stranger to this. Now, his fame rivaled that of Di Wuque, and he would be conferred as the Azure Dragon King in half a year.

To these inner sect and outer sect disciples of the Supreme Sky Sect, the current Xiao Chen was like how his First Senior Sister, Shui Lingling, seemed to him when he first arrived in the Kunlun Realm—someone apparently beyond reach.

After the disciples at the city gates checked Xiao Chen’s identity medallion, they showed respectful expressions, and he entered the city.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen saw a youth in only his underwear covering his face and running in the middle of the street. This youth brushed by Xiao Chen as he dashed away frantically, startling Xiao Chen.

Have the disciples of the Supreme Sky Sect become so bold and unconstrained during my long absence?

“Haha! Someone suffered from this calamity again. This peak inner sect mission sure is tough.”

“How many does this make now?”

“Close to a hundred. I wonder why such a perverse person is causing trouble for our Supreme Sky Sect? I heard that the elder of the mission hall is considering raising the difficulty of this mission by another level, making it available only to true inheritors.”

“That can’t be! Do we really need a true inheritor to deal with someone who is barely a half-Sage?”

“That can’t be helped. The one who ran by earlier was already someone ranked in the top ten of the inner sect.”

The contents of the discussions entered Xiao Chen’s ears. Suddenly, he had a feeling. So he turned to the person beside him and said, “This junior brother, can you tell me about the matter you were talking about earlier in more detail?”

That person did not seem to recognize Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, “From the looks of this, Senior Brother must have been away from the sect recently.”

“I went out of the sect two months ago.”

That disciple said in understanding, “No wonder. This matter happened one month ago. However, now, all the inner sect disciples know about the commotion that this matter caused.

“One month ago, a fatty arrived from outside the sect. He said that he was a friend of Xiao Chen from the lower realm. He said he was here to settle scores after being tricked by him. His tone was very excessive, demanding our Sect Master come and meet him the moment he spoke.”

The corners of Xiao Chen’s lips twitched. There was no escaping this. The person who came was indeed the fatty Jin Dabao.

“Just think about it. Why would the Sect Master meet him? He had no proof or evidence. Even the elders could not be bothered to see him, so he hung around the city gates. Somehow, he ended up in an argument with some of the disciples in the sect. Then, he made a move…”

That disciple was too embarrassed to continue speaking of the matter. However, Xiao Chen pushed, asking, “What happened after that?”

“It’s not worth mentioning. That fatty is very treacherous. He lured some of the disciples to the mountains outside the sect. Unfortunately, our sect’s disciples were not skilled enough. They all ended up returning in their underwear. All their things were snatched away, leaving them with nothing. As for how it happened, it really is not worth mentioning.”

Xiao Chen could also guess what happened after that. Jin Dabao’s actions would definitely make him a target for arrest, placing him on the Supreme Sky Sect’s mission list.

However, based on the results, Jin Dabao seemed addicted to this, returning to his old ways in the Sky Dome Realm.

Xiao Chen had to go and find him before it escalated into a big problem, while it could still be resolved. After a moment’s thought, he immediately turned around and flew off into the distance.

With Jin Dabao’s appearance, Xiao Chen had to abandon thoughts of meeting Elder Han for now.

Back in the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen had given Jin Dabao an Astral Coin, saying that it was a priceless treasure that could buy a Rank 8 sect.

The “getting tricked by Xiao Chen” matter should be referring to this.

Originally, Xiao Chen had thought that Jin Dabao would never come to the Kunlun Realm and hence would remain oblivious of his trick. Unexpectedly, not only had Jin Dabao come to the Kunlun Realm, but he even came to the Supreme Sky Sect and caused some trouble here.

One really could not lower one’s guard. No matter where the fatty was, he was as outrageous as ever.

It was not difficult to find Jin Dabao. This fellow would occasionally show himself to lure away some inner sect disciples.

Inevitably, some inner sect disciples believed that they would be able to take down the fatty when they saw his obese figure and rich-provincial demeanor, expecting to get the reward for the mission.

However, Xiao Chen felt it was rather strange. This was a flourishing age. The quality of the Supreme Sky Sect’s inner sect disciples was much higher than when he first arrived.

True inheritors were even more incredible. The requirements for becoming a true inheritor were now extremely high. To qualify, one had to have a Martial Sage cultivation. Even so, the numbers of true inheritors kept increasing.

Given that Jin Dabao came from the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen reckoned that the fatty was at best a half-Sage. He wondered why no one from the inner sect had succeeded in apprehending him.

The half-Sages of the Kunlun Realm and the half-Sages of the Sky Dome Realm were of very different standards. It should be easy for the half-Sages of the Kunlun Realm to kill those of the Sky Dome Realm.

After asking around outside the city, Xiao Chen found some clues.

Jin Dabao recently appeared in a small town to the west of the city. Four of the top ten inner sect disciples had gone over as a group, swearing to capture this perverse maniac.

People already started making bets on whether these four would end up coming back in their underwear.

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. This fatty was really starting to go overboard. If Xiao Chen did not rush back, the situation would be unresolvable when a true inheritor or an elder made a move.

When he reached the small town about fifty kilometers west of the city, he extended his Spiritual Sense. The area within fifty kilometers instantly appeared in his mind’s eye, various faces flashing by quickly.

“He is certainly cautious.” Xiao Chen did not find Jin Dabao within fifty kilometers. His figure flashed, moving fifty kilometers away before he started searching again.

He continued this four times, traveling a total of an additional two hundred kilometers, but still failed to find the fatty’s figure.

“Strange. I went as soon as I obtained news. Given Jin Dabao’s strength, two hundred and fifty kilometers would be the limit of his range of movement.”

Xiao Chen started thinking, feeling that he had forgotten something. After a while, a light bulb went off in his head.

The disciples who were left with only their underwear would always appear running in the city every time.

If the fatty were several hundred kilometers away, the first place that these people would go to would be the nearby town and not Supreme Sky City.

“This fatty is really bold.”

After reaching this conclusion, Xiao Chen immediately doubled back. He extended his Spiritual Sense near the west gate of the Supreme Sky City—and found Jin Dabao’s figure in the mountain range five kilometers out.

Xiao Chen had to admire Jin Dabao’s courage in going so far as to choose to commit his crime within an area this close to Supreme Sky City.

Probably not many people could conceive of this. The disciples who were left with only their underwear were extremely embarrassed. They definitely would not be willing to speak of their experiences.

Jin Dabao was rather incredible to have managed to stay so near Supreme Sky City for such a long time.

In the scene that Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense captured, Jin Dabao had already dealt with the four inner sect disciples, who were now lying on the ground in extreme embarrassment, left with only their underwear.

“Hehe! Thank you. You four lords are welcome to come back to challenge me again.

“Bring more Spirit Stones and Astral Coins. As for these broken-down Secret Treasures, you don’t need to bring them. They are unfitting of your status. This Fat Lord feels embarrassed for you,” Jin Dabao laughed as he sat on the coffin lid and fanned himself with the gold folding fan.

He had bedecked himself with treasures. The rings on his fingers, the shoes on his feet, the jade pendant around his neck, and the clothes he wore were actually a complete set of peak Sage Grade Secret Treasures.

The four stood up and left in pathetic states. Seeing that the fatty let them go, how could they dare to remain?

“How poor! These Supreme Sky Sect inner sect disciples are not very rich. This Fat Lord has not even seen a King Grade Secret Treasure.”

As Jin Dabao tidied up the spatial rings of those people, he sighed. His fat face filled with melancholy.

“Hu chi!”

Just at this moment, the space in front of Jin Dabao turned hazy and folded together. A blurry figure moved from far to near, slowly becoming clearer.

“Are you seeking death, daring to sneak-attack this Fat Lord? I will smash you with my lid!”

The fatty’s face turned grave as he moved his hands and feet nimbly, picking up the coffin lid by his side and swinging it ferociously.

When the fatty used the golden coffin lid, it gave off a dazzling and incredibly piercing radiance.

As the coffin lid moved, the skies rumbled. It did not look like a coffin lid at all but more like a mountain being wielded in his hand.

“Pa!”

The coffin lid, which had always worked, was actually blocked by someone. The fatty was shocked. He pulled back the coffin lid and tossed it to the ground, preparing to fly off on it.

Xiao Chen shook his somewhat sore arm. Now he knew why the inner sect disciples could not do anything to Jin Dabao.

Just now, if he had not used his Vital Qi freely, bringing out one Dragon Force, he would have been smashed fifty kilometers away by Jin Dabao—which could still happen if he was careless.

Xiao Chen saw Jin Dabao standing on the coffin lid and the space before him starting to fold. He quickly called out, “Brother Dabao, don’t go.”
