Chen Xiao said lightly, "If you can’t afford to lose, don’t play."

Elder Mo and others also stood up, speaking indifferently, "We witnessed the fight just now. Chen Xiao did not use any spiritual power. If you want to cheat, we won’t be polite either."

"We in the Divine Land don’t want things to escalate because we don’t want trouble, not because we fear you!"

Elder Mo’s voice was stern, "If you truly wish to disrupt the secular world, we won’t mind using extreme measures. Both sides will suffer losses then!"

"This is the final warning: if you can’t behave in the secular world, don’t blame us for finding people to make an example of you!"

Upon hearing Elder Mo’s threat, the Martial Artists from the Kunlun Realm looked uneasy, having witnessed the power of the artillery shells earlier.

Although they spoke defiantly, they understood the situation.

After all, when coming to the secular world this time, the elders of the Eight Hidden Sects had a mutual agreement that only the juniors from each sect would compete in the Divine Continent Dragon Vein to seek fortune.

The elders in the sects wouldn’t interfere with the secular matters.

Even if a few elders arrived, they were not allowed to compete in the Divine Continent Dragon Vein against the juniors.

If any party breaks the agreement, the other sects will unite to attack them!

The reason for this agreement is that the elder powerhouses of the Eight Hidden Sects look down on the opportunities in the Divine Continent Dragon Vein, finding it of little use to their top-ranking strengths.

Hence, it was simply used as a small battlefield for the juniors’ training.

Without the elder powerhouses backing them, these juniors couldn’t really challenge the opponent, especially given the lethal power of those firearms, which completely intimidate them.

Moreover, they indeed lost this competition.

Elder Mo’s voice was cold, "I ask you only one thing: do you acknowledge the result of this competition or not?!"

Zheng Yiqi snorted and said calmly, "We are not sore losers. Since you’ve won, we acknowledge it, but we still don’t want too many restrictions."

Elder Mo coolly replied, "Our demands aren’t excessive. Just avoid causing big disturbances, and do not bully our ordinary secular people with martial force. This is our bottom line!"

Zheng Yiqi suddenly laughed, sneering, "You exert so much effort just to protect those ordinary people?"

"What else?"

"I can’t fathom what’s in your minds!" Zheng Yiqi scoffed, "It’s a world where the weak serve the strong, yet you care about those weaklings. It’s downright laughable."

"I can agree to these terms." Zheng Yiqi said indifferently, "Anyway, we’re only here for the opportunities in the Divine Continent Dragon Vein, uninterested in those worthless beings."

"Before the Dragon Vein opens, we won’t bother with those ordinary people."

"However, outside of that, I don’t want you meddling in our affairs!"

Zheng Yiqi glanced coldly at Chen Xiao, "Kid, you’re talented, but cultivating in this spiritually barren secular world is truly a waste."

"If you’re willing to humble yourself and recognize me as your master, voluntarily become a servant, I might make an exception and take you to Dao Qi Sect for cultivation."

"My Dao Qi Sect is one of the Upper Three Sects in the Kunlun Realm, extremely powerful. Even leftover cultivation resources I spare can rapidly boost your strength. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity many wish for!"

Chen Xiao coldly replied, "Sorry, I don’t have the habit of being someone’s dog. On the contrary, if you’re willing to kneel and beg me to enter Dao Qi Sect, maybe I’ll consider cultivating there."

Zheng Yiqi’s eyes turned colder, "You’re arrogant."

"Today I won’t bother with you. I hope next time we meet, you’re still this cocky!"

"You have some strength, but before me, you’re merely an ant!"

They were only the first batch of cultivators from the Kunlun Realm entering the secular world.

As the time for the Dragon Vein opening approached, more strong individuals would arrive!

Even if the elders don’t come to the secular world, those top Heavenly Prides in the new generation could easily crush someone like Chen Xiao casually!

"Ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and earth!"

"This is an ant’s perspective, winning a trivial battle and thinking he’s significant!"

"Not to mention others, among the Eight Hidden Sects’ young generation, there are dozens of people like you! Moreover, as the gap in cultivation resources widens, the disparity between us will grow larger!"

"By then, you probably won’t even qualify as a dog to us!"

After finishing, Zheng Yiqi arrogantly left with the crowd.

Before leaving, the leading female disciple from Miaoqu Palace gave Chen Xiao a flirtatious wink, "Little boy, if you’re ever down and out, come to Miaoqu Palace. We’ll protect you well, letting you find bliss there."

After speaking, the group of female disciples laughed coquettishly and floated away.

Ling Tianhao from Kao Shan Sect, along with several disciples from Qinglan Sect, also glared at Chen Xiao angrily before reluctantly leaving.

These sect disciples regarded themselves highly, believing they could easily defeat the Martial Arts World, only to be completely crushed by Chen Xiao alone.

This dealt a severe blow to their pride.

Before leaving, Zhao Xingyu approached, quietly speaking to Chen Xiao, "Chen Xiao, be careful. Zheng Yiqi is notorious for being narrow-minded. You’ve offended him today, so watch out for any underhanded tricks from him in the future."

"Also, my Qinglan Sect brothers and sisters can be immature, don’t pay them any mind!"

Chen Xiao merely gave a faint smile.

Zhao Xingyu waved goodbye to him and hurriedly caught up with the Qinglan Sect disciples. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This negotiation conference had come to a temporary conclusion.

Tang Hengdao stepped forward and patted Chen Xiao’s shoulder, "Brother Chen, I didn’t expect that after your trip to Yin Country, your strength has become so formidable. You truly leave me in the dust."

Not just him, even many elder powerhouses were similarly moved.

During the Hundred Countries Military Battle, Chen Xiao still needed the protection of these Great Grandmasters.

How many days have passed?

Now, Chen Xiao’s strength surpasses theirs!

"Just lucky!" Chen Xiao smiled calmly, "Elder Mo, with today’s deterrence, I believe these guys will quiet down a bit, and there won’t be major issues for a while."

Elder Mo nodded slightly, looking at the group, "You’ve all worked hard."

Although they had firearms, firearms couldn’t be used indiscriminately due to their wide range of damage, risking innocent bystanders, hence Martial Artists were crucial for controlling situations within a certain range, handling them with ease.

After resolving this matter, Chen Xiao and Leng Baiyu bid farewell to the crowd and took a car back.

Chen Xiao rubbed his temples, "Any news from Kani?!"

"Not yet..." Leng Baiyu sighed, "We investigated all surveillance footage within that area and found no trace of her."

"It’s as if she vanished without a trace."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao frowned deeper.

Logically speaking, as long as Li Kani hadn’t entered the deep mountain forests, given the current dense surveillance in the Divine Land, her trace should have been easily discovered.

However, there wasn’t...

Could it be she really entered the Dragon Vein?
