Hearing the various demands from the Xiao Family disciples, Chen Ge was dumbfounded.
’Were these people reincarnated from starving ghosts or something?’
Fortunately, he could afford to treat them to one meal.
As long as Su Mo graced him with his presence, it would be fine.
’As for Xiao Lang offering to help me... I’d better just forget about it.’
’Because not everyone is a monster like Su Mo.’
Su Mo asked out of boredom, "You just said that people from the Western Profound Domain bullied you and slapped your face until it was swollen?"
"Yes!"
Chen Ge nodded. "This time, the people who’ve come to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground aren’t just from our Northern Profound Domain. There are also people from the Western and Eastern Profound Domains. Even the Central Profound Domain has sent people. There are quite a few prodigies."
"What about the Southern Profound Domain?"
Su Mo asked.
Chen Ge shook his head. "The Southern Profound Domain is too far away, so no one has arrived yet. Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that they’ll show up in a few days."
Su Mo nodded.
There were still several days until the Demon Venerable Burial Ground opened.
It was entirely possible for people from the Southern Profound Domain to make it in time.
Chen Ge said in a serious tone, "This time, it’s a true gathering of top talents. The geniuses from every Profound Domain are very strong, and among them are several prodigies who are absurdly powerful."
"Oh?"
Su Mo’s eyes lit up.
Chen Ge quickly explained, "Elder Su, please don’t misunderstand. Although those prodigies are strong, none of them can compare to you. You are the strongest."
Among the younger generation, only Su Mo could make a Martial King submit.
The others were Grand Martial Artists at best.
The gap was several Realms wide.
Su Mo said, "Keep talking."
Chen Ge said seriously, "You’ve already met the geniuses from our Northern Profound Domain, so I won’t introduce them. The strongest from the Western Profound Domain are the Celestial Gate Five Tigers. All five of them are from the Western Profound Domain’s Celestial Tiger Sect."
"Elder Su, you’ve heard of the Celestial Profound Sect, right?"
Chen Ge asked meaningfully.
Su Mo said, "I know Elder Baiyun of the Profound Celestial Sect."
What?
’He knows Elder Baiyun of the Profound Celestial Sect!’
Chen Ge was so shocked his jaw dropped.
’As expected, Su Mo is a big shot.’
Chen Ge said with emotion, "The Celestial Tiger Sect’s status in the Western Profound Domain is equivalent to the Profound Celestial Sect’s in our Northern Profound Domain. But because the Western Profound Domain is stronger than ours, the Celestial Tiger Sect is also stronger than the Profound Celestial Sect."
’Although the Profound Celestial Sect was destroyed, its great strength cannot be denied.’
’I wonder who destroyed the Profound Celestial Sect?’
’It must have been a supremely powerful expert.’
"I see."
Su Mo thought to himself in disappointment, ’So the Celestial Tiger Sect isn’t that strong either.’
Chen Ge said, "Elder Su, you shouldn’t underestimate them. Rumor has it that above the Celestial Gate Five Tigers, there’s also a wicked monk."
"Tell me about the Eastern Profound Domain," Su Mo said impatiently.
Chen Ge continued, "The Eastern Profound Domain has many Sword Dao Sects and many Sword Cultivators. Their strongest are several Sword Dao geniuses. As for the Central Profound Domain, I don’t know much, but they are the strongest of all."
The Central Profound Domain was the most powerful of the Five Great Profound Domains. Any genius from there could crush the other four Profound Domains.
Chen Xuan said, "Elder Su, this time..."
Su Mo suddenly interrupted, "Have we arrived at the restaurant you mentioned?"
"It’s just ahead!"
Chen Ge asked doubtfully, "Elder Su, aren’t you worried at all?"
"Of course I’m worried!"
Su Mo answered casually.
Then, Su Mo added, "We should hurry up. What if we’re late and can’t get any food?"
"Ah..."
Chen Ge was speechless.
’So that’s what Su Mo was worried about.’
Soon, they arrived in front of a restaurant.
The storefront wasn’t large.
But it was the best restaurant in the small town.
Chen Ge led Su Mo into the restaurant and asked, "Elder Su, should we sit on the first or second floor? There are private rooms on the second floor."
"A private room can’t fit this many of us. Let’s just sit on the first floor."
Su Mo found a corner and had the Xiao Family members sit down.
"Elder Su, please wait a moment. I’ll go order the food!"
Chen Ge had just looked up when he ran into a broad-shouldered, burly young man. "Well, well, if it isn’t Chen Ge. Your face is all swollen, and you still dare to show up here."
"Five Tigers Ye Chuan."
Chen Ge’s expression stiffened.
Ye Chuan glanced at the Xiao Family members behind Chen Ge and sneered, "What? You think bringing a few dogs with you means you’ll be fine?"
"Hey, who are you calling a dog?"
Xiao Lang demanded furiously.
He certainly wasn’t going to stand for being called a dog.
Chen Ge’s face darkened. "Ye Chuan, you can humiliate me, but don’t you dare humiliate them. They are Elder Su’s family."
"Elder Su? Hehe, I’m so scared!"
Ye Chuan looked at Xiao Lang disdainfully. "Since you’re Elder Su’s disciple, you must be a genius, right?"
"That’s right, I am a genius!"
Xiao Lang answered without hesitation.
’Even though my Realm is low, if we were to fight, I might not necessarily lose to Ye Chuan.’
Ye Chuan continued, "Since you say you’re a genius, you must have participated in your Northern Profound Domain’s Holy Spirit Competition, right?"
"Sorry, I didn’t participate!"
Xiao Lang said honestly.
Ye Chuan said in surprise, "What? You didn’t even participate in the Holy Spirit Assembly and you dare to call yourself a genius? Haha, are you trying to make me die of laughter?"
"I may not have participated, but our Young Master did,"
Xiao Lang said, pointing at Su Mo.
Ye Chuan asked curiously, "What place did he get?"
Su Mo said, "Third."
Ye Chuan said disdainfully, "Tch, only third place. Not even first!"
In his opinion, the Northern Profound Domain was weak to begin with and simply couldn’t compare to the geniuses of his Western Profound Domain.
Even if Su Mo was third.
"Ye Chuan, that’s enough!"
Chen Ge pointed at Su Mo and said, "Do you know who he is? He is Elder Su."
"Ha?"
Ye Chuan was stunned.
He had long heard that there was some "Elder Su" at the Holy Spirit Assembly who was incredibly powerful.
’So it was this kid.’
’Looks like the Northern Profound Domain really has no talent left. Even a young man who hasn’t finished puberty dares to call himself an elder.’
’How boring!’
Ye Chuan said contemptuously, "Forget it. I can’t be bothered with trash like you."
"You bastard, who are you calling trash?"
Xiao Lang started to chase after Ye Chuan but was stopped by Chen Ge. "Brother Lang, don’t be angry. He’s just a scoundrel."
"Hmph, he got lucky!"
Xiao Lang grumbled as he sat back down. "Brother Chen, go order the food."
Soon, Chen Ge finished ordering.
Xiao Lang asked while gnawing on a large pork knuckle, "Brother Chen, who was it that hit you?"
"It was that guy just now, Ye Chuan!"
Chen Ge sighed.
What?
Xiao Lang asked in surprise, "Then why did you stop me just now? Why didn’t you let me stand up for you?"
"Sigh, he’s the fifth of the Celestial Gate Five Tigers. His strength is terrifying,"
Chen Ge said with trepidation.
’If someone from the Hua Celestial Sect and Bai Luoxue were here, maybe they could stand up for me.’
’Xiao Lang?’
’Forget it!’
’If Xiao Lang got hurt by Ye Chuan, I’d have no way to explain myself to Su Mo.’
Xiao Lang took a big bite of the pork knuckle and said, "Don’t be afraid. Next time I see him, I’ll kick him into the air and get revenge for you."
Chen Ge just smiled and said nothing.
Just then, an exclamation of surprise came from outside the door. "Look, Liu Wuxie is here!"
"What? Liu Wuxie?"
Chen Ge shot to his feet in surprise.
