Chapter 262: Xun'er's Arrival!
The elder from the Huang Quan sect leading the way was surprised to hear Xiao Ze's name and felt extremely fortunate that he had not been disrespectful earlier.
The man before him was an alchemy master, someone even powerful Dou Zun fighters sought to please!
"Elder Chi Huo, it has been a while. I see you are still in good health," said Xiao Ze with a smile, paying little attention to the other forces approaching.
Elder Chi Huo was also a shrewd person. Seeing Xiao Ze's attitude, he immediately showed a broad smile.
"The Valley Master speaks of you often, Elder Xiao Ze."
"I thank Master Tang for remembering me," Xiao Ze replied.
The Great Elder, seeing Xiao Ze and Elder Chi Huo conversing animatedly, smiled and said, "Xiao Ze, aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"My apologies. This is the Great Elder of Danta, and this is Elder Chi Huo from the Burning Flame Valley."
Hearing Xiao Ze's introduction, Elder Chi Huo showed a respectful expression and said, "A pleasure to meet you, Great Elder of Danta."
If not for Xiao Ze's introduction, due to Danta's power, Elder Chi Huo would not have had the rank to meet the Great Elder of Danta.
"If you are a friend of Xiao Ze, there's no need to be so formal," said the Great Elder.
Hearing Xiao Ze's introduction, the surrounding gazes became even more intense.
No one expected Danta to send the Great Elder and the newly ascended alchemy master, Xiao Ze, on this mission.
The present forces understood that the rumors were not unfounded; an ancient relic was indeed emerging.
And not only that, but it was significant enough for Danta to send its two powerful elders to compete for it.
Thinking about this, the forces quickly decided to inform their leaders. This ancient relic could contain immense opportunities.
Xiao Ze noticed many other significant forces in the palace, but none seemed to have sent their leaders, only elders.
Xiao Ze didn't neglect the other forces, only showing a special closeness with the Burning Flame Valley.
For the other forces, Xiao Ze's attitude was crucial. After all, he was an alchemy master! The Burning Flame Valley's closeness with an alchemy master could further strengthen their position.
After greeting the other forces, Xiao Ze went to the room that the elder from the Huang Quan Pavilion had prepared for them.
"Ugh... these forces are too enthusiastic," said Xiao Ze as he closed the door and exhaled deeply.
"Haha, it's natural. Having an alchemy master as a friend makes obtaining pills much easier."
"Not only cultivation pills but also those with special effects... If they're not against us, it could be beneficial to trade with them."
Meanwhile, in a secret room of the Huang Quan Pavilion, an elder in black robes frowned while examining the newly delivered reports.
"What is this ancient relic that has brought two elders from Danta here?"
"If Danta is mobilizing like this, surely other powerful forces will also be interested."
The elder in black robes, the leader of the Huang Quan Pavilion, Venerable Huang Quan, was worried about another matter: if the relic was truly impressive, would it attract the Gu tribe?
Located near the eastern domain of Zhongzhou, the Huang Quan sect had always been cautious of the powerful Gu tribe. Although the Gu tribe might not be interested in the Huang Quan sect, a conflict with them could be disastrous.
Venerable Huang Quan knew well the nature of his sect, which was not precisely benevolent.
"Ah, if I had known this, I wouldn't have worked so hard in the last Sifang sect tournament. Letting Venerable Fenglei and Venerable Xingyun organize it wouldn't have led to so many forces coming here..."
Venerable Huang Quan sighed, regretting that the Huang Quan sect couldn't handle all these forces.
With the Sifang sect tournament approaching and the presence of two Danta elders, more powerful forces were sure to come.
Compared to the actions of these forces, the Sifang sect tournament wouldn't attract much attention.
In the following days, Xiao Ze stayed in the room assigned by the Huang Quan sect, waiting for the tournament to begin.
The ancient relic was not yet ready to be explored; according to reports from Danta's guardians in the Youming Sea, there was still time.
With the news leak, Xiao Ze and the Great Elder decided not to rush. With so many forces interested, the dangers of exploring the relic would decrease.
Although Xiao Ze wanted peace, he received countless visits from different forces every day.
Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Ze interacted with various forces of Zhongzhou.
At the same time, he understood that the competition for the relic would be fierce.
This was just a sample of the forces participating in the tournament; many more were not present.
After seeing off the last visitor, Xiao Ze stroked his chin and thought, "With so much commotion, I wonder if the Gu tribe will be interested..."
He reflected and shook his head. Even if the Gu tribe was interested, they wouldn't necessarily send Xun'er.
While Xiao Ze thought this, in the center of the eastern region of Zhongzhou, in the sacred city of the Gu tribe, a spatial fluctuation revealed a young woman in green, followed by two elders with a powerful presence.
"Elders, thank you for accompanying me in exploring the ancient relic," said the young woman with a smile.
"Miss, it is an honor to serve you," the elders replied with a resigned smile.
The young woman looked out of the sacred city, with a flash of golden flames in her eyes, thinking, "Brother Xiao Ze, after so many years, have I reached your level?"
The young woman in green was none other than Xun'er, separated from Xiao Ze for many years.
Thanks to the Gu tribe's information network, it wasn't difficult for her to keep up with Xiao Ze. Being a Danta elder, Xun'er didn't even need to send Ling Ying to investigate; using the Gu network was enough.
Although the Gu tribe was discreet, their knowledge about the powerful forces of the continent, especially Danta, was deep and clear.
