Watching the Fire Phoenix fly into the palace, Chen Xiao could only leave the Yin-Yang Jade space, feeling helpless.

Although he didn't succeed in getting the Fire Phoenix to acknowledge him as its master, his strength had improved significantly, and he had also obtained a sacred relic. This could already be considered a great gain.

It was time to leave. Chen Xiao looked up, but it was pitch black above. He wondered how far it was to the entrance of the abyss!

However, this was not a problem for Chen Xiao at all. With a flap of his wings, he soared into the sky and flew upwards!

...

At the same time, Chu He and his daughter were also flying towards the entrance of the abyss.

They flew down for a while, but found that the abyss was unfathomably deep, as if it had no end.

The Qingluan and Fire Phoenix were unwilling to continue flying down, so the father and daughter had no choice but to give up.

Although they didn't say anything to each other, the helplessness on their faces was exactly the same.

In their opinion, the hope that Chen Xiao was still alive was very slim.

The Zhushen Hall had placed a big bet on Chen Xiao, but ended up losing miserably and suffering heavy losses.

Thinking that the Lingxiao Hall was also eyeing them covetously, Chu He felt even more overwhelmed.

However, when the sunlight outside shone on his face, he concealed the worry on his face, cheered up, and showed an expression of high morale.

He was the Hall Master of the Zhushen Hall, and he had to be responsible for the entire Zhushen Hall!

The two returned to the ground, and the Grand Elder of the Zhushen Hall immediately reported in a panic, "Hall Master, something bad has happened!"

"Grand Elder, why are you so flustered?"

Chu He frowned. The Grand Elder rarely lost his composure like this, which inevitably cast another shadow over his heart.

"Hall Master, Huangfu Xiao is about to attack!"

The Grand Elder said anxiously.

Chu He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying helplessly, "Grand Elder, Huangfu Xiao's strength is not enough to break the Realm Essence Gate. Our Zhushen Hall will temporarily avoid his sharp edge. When he calms down, I will reason with him."

Chu He had tried his best to change 'playing turtle' into a relatively acceptable statement.

"No, Hall Master, Huangfu Xiao is really going to attack..."

The Grand Elder tried hard to explain.

Dong—

The Grand Elder was still speaking when another loud noise suddenly came, and then, the Zhushen Realm began to shake.

Chu He's eyes widened, and he secretly said something was wrong. The Realm Essence Gate of the Zhushen Realm was really broken! The Zhushen Hall was in danger!

Everyone was shocked and began to discuss.

"I didn't expect Hall Master Huangfu to really break the Realm Essence Gate. Then he will become the first Martial Revered One in our Ancient Martial Arts Sects in the past five hundred years!"

"This is going to be interesting. How do you think Hall Master Huangfu will deal with the Zhushen Hall?"

"It's hard to say, Hall Master Huangfu's temper, tsk tsk, it's hard to say..."

Hearing the gloating words in his ears, Chu He was no longer in the mood to care. He realized that things were not good, and immediately ordered, "All disciples of the Zhushen Hall, form a formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Thousands of disciples of the Zhushen Hall began to form a battle formation, staring intently at the direction of the Realm Essence Gate.

Facing the first Martial Revered One in the ancient martial arts world in the past five hundred years, everyone was extremely nervous.

But Chu He knew that although the Zhushen Hall had a numerical advantage, if Huangfu Xiao had really become a Martial Revered One, these people would not be his opponents.

The only way now was to mobilize all the martial arts colleagues in the ancient martial arts world to have a chance to stop Huangfu Xiao.

It wasn't so much about mobilizing them to fight against Huangfu Xiao, but mainly to use their momentum to persuade the Lingxiao Hall to retreat.

Because in Chu He's view, no matter how strong the Lingxiao Hall was, it wouldn't be so arrogant as to be enemies with all the ancient martial arts sects.

The people from the Lingxiao Hall came aggressively and at an extremely fast speed. When the disciples of the Zhushen Hall had formed their battle formation, they had already arrived in front of them.

Huangfu Xiao didn't lie. Behind him, he indeed brought three hundred disciples from the Lingxiao Hall.

Each of the three hundred disciples was a Martial Saint. Even when facing ten times as many Zhushen Hall disciples, they were not at a disadvantage, and there was no fear on their faces.

Huangfu Yan and a burly middle-aged man walked in the front. Needless to say, this middle-aged man was naturally Huangfu Xiao, the Hall Master of the Lingxiao Hall.

This man was more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, extremely burly, with a broom-like beard on his face, and an extremely fierce aura.

Huangfu Yan was already considered very sturdy in the eyes of ordinary people, but compared with his father, he was like a little baby who had not yet fully developed.

"You scoundrel Chu He, your grandpa is here, why don't you quickly kneel down in front of me!"

Huangfu Xiao's line of sight passed over the thousands of Zhushen Hall disciples blocking his way, and pointed directly at Chu He. His voice was like a loud bell, and like thunder piercing the ears.

In this situation, Chu He couldn't be a turtle anymore. He separated the crowd and stepped forward, with the elders and hall masters of the Zhushen Hall following behind him.

As for the martial artists from other sects, they stood to the sides to avoid being implicated when these two groups of people fought.

"Huangfu Xiao, leave a line for others, so we can meet in the future. I said, what happened before was just a misunderstanding, but you didn't allow me to explain at all, and even broke the Realm Essence Gate of my Zhushen Hall. Did you take the five-hundred-year friendship between our two halls into your eyes?"

Chu He's expression was indifferent, and he questioned every word.

For five hundred years, the Zhushen Hall and the Lingxiao Hall had intermarried with each other, and had long been intertwined, so to speak, you have me and I have you.

However, Huangfu Xiao did not care about the past relationship today, which was indeed a bit too rude, like the behavior of a barbarian.

"Hmph, Chu He, how dare you ask me this question? You clearly promised your daughter to my son, but your daughter is having an affair with other wild men. Not only did you, as a father, not punish your daughter, but you also supported her in canceling the engagement with my son. Tell me yourself, who is the one who doesn't value friendship!"

Huangfu Xiao's question immediately caused a burst of low exclamations from the crowd.

They liked listening to this kind of green-coming-and-going plot the most.

Chu Qingluan was a girl after all. When she heard the crowd making malicious laughter at her, as well as the whispers, her face immediately turned red.

She immediately retorted, "Uncle Huangfu, things are not as Huangfu Yan said at all. Mr. Chen and I are as innocent as water, nothing happened. It was Huangfu Yan who speculated and poured dirty water on me!"

"Shut up! When men are talking, how can a woman like you interrupt!"

Huangfu Xiao roared angrily, like thunder!

He pointed at Chu He and sternly questioned, "Chu He, is this the good daughter you taught? You are still arguing with me now. I will only ask you one question today. Your Zhushen Hall has let down our Lingxiao Hall. Do you admit it or not!"
