Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian Return

"Chief Chu, good news, good news!"

That noon, Chu Feng was leaning against the Bodhi tree to cool off as usual, engrossed in reading the novel in his hand, when he heard a familiar voice in the distance.

He looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw Elder Little White rushing over.

Chu Feng immediately sat up straight, casually putting the storybook in his hand into his storage ring, and asked with a smile, "What good news is it that you, Brother Little White, have to personally deliver it?"

Elder Little White said, "Chief Chu, the two Holy Sons Xiao and Cao have returned. Moreover, I heard from the people of the Sword Dao Academy and the Giant God Academy that they have made a great name for themselves in the Sword Continent and Barbarian Continent this time, establishing a prestigious reputation for our Dao-Seeking Academy."

"Oh."

Chu Feng had previously received system notifications that his two disciples had made progress.

Unexpectedly, only a few months later, the two disciples returned to the Dao-Seeking Academy.

Where are they now?

Elder Little White: "We should be there soon."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng stood up and said with a smile, "I'd like to trouble Brother Little White to make a trip and inform everyone that my Miscellaneous Dao Institute is hosting a banquet for all of you old friends tonight."

"Okay."

Elder Little White perked up immediately upon hearing the word "drinking," for even the Dean of Miaomiao Mountain coveted the wine from Miaomiao Mountain.

About half an hour later.

Chu Feng saw Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian in the main courtyard.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they bowed and said, "Disciples pay respects to Master."

No need for formalities.

Chu Feng said with a smile, "You two go and rest for a while. I've prepared a welcome feast for you. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it then."

"Promise."

The two were aware of their master's habits and did not feel that anything was amiss.

The two glanced at each other instinctively as they left the villa, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha."

Cao Youqian: "Senior Brother, you've gotten stronger again."

Xiao Chen: "Daqian, you're not bad either. Let's spar a bit tonight."

Cao Youqian: "No problem."

The news of the Great Sage sons' return to the Dao-Seeking Academy quickly spread throughout the entire academy.

The disciples in Miaomiao Mountain also received Chu Feng's message, asking them to come to the chief's courtyard to assist him.

It was dusk.

Inside the main courtyard, distinguished guests filled the room.

Chu Feng sat in the main seat, with Bing Yan on his left and Miao Yu on his right.

Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian sat at the head of the table on his left and right sides, respectively.

After the banquet began, Chu Feng first introduced his wife, Princess Miao Yu, to his two disciples.

Afterwards, everyone drank and chatted.

As the main figures at the banquet, Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian recounted their experiences of training, which filled the audience with envy and admiration.

After several rounds of drinks...

Cao Youqian was the first to stand up, raising his wine cup and saying, "Senior Brother, Master hasn't examined our cultivation in a long time. How about we spar a couple of times so Master can give us some pointers?"

"Good."

Xiao Chen agreed without hesitation.

Seeing the two men's fighting spirit, Chu Feng smiled and said, "You two shouldn't hold back, so I can see what you've gained this time."

"Promise."

After responding in unison, the two leaped into the sky.

In an instant, everyone in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the two of them.

Cao Youqian spoke first, jokingly saying, "Senior Brother, I wonder what kind of extraordinary encounter you had on your trip to the Sword Continent this time. Don't let your junior brother surpass you."

Xiao Chen chuckled upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "Daqian, remember that your senior brother will always be your senior brother. I hope you can withstand a few more of my sword strikes this time, otherwise this fight won't be interesting."

"As you wish."

As Cao Youqian spoke, his aura burst forth instantly. He was enveloped in immortal light, and the aura of the Nirvana Realm enveloped the entire Miaomiao Mountain. Behind him, a Faxiang formed from the True Essence of the Great Dao appeared.

Such a commotion naturally alarmed countless cultivators at the Dao-Seeking Academy.

From the outer disciples to the various chief disciples, everyone trembled in fear at this terrifying aura.

The nine chief monks all released their divine senses, and when they saw the Faxiang behind Cao Youqian, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

This kid only went to the Barbarian Continent, how did he become so strong? If we really fought, I might not be able to gain the upper hand.

"That's interesting."

Feeling the immense pressure from his junior brother, Xiao Chen felt a strange excitement as he flew backward, finally able to fight without restraint.

As a result, his body shone with divine light, and a terrifying aura enveloped him, with an invincible sword image appearing behind him.

In an instant, two terrifying forces enveloped the entire Miaomiao Mountain.

The elders and disciples who had come to drink felt a chill run down their spines.

Princess Miao Yu murmured, "Husband, your two disciples are too strong!"

Chu Feng smiled and said, "It does have some skill, but it's still far from perfect."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, Dao Light enveloped the entire Miaomiao Mountain.

Chu Feng didn't want his sect to be accidentally damaged by these two disciples.

Boom!

Unlike typical duels between experts, Cao Youqian and Xiao Chen did not build up their strength before engaging in a fierce battle.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The two had already exchanged dozens of blows in the sky.

Every clash of moves filled the disciples of the Dao-Seeking Academy with trepidation.

Of course, the nine chief disciples were the most surprised, as they were not sure if they could defeat these two holy sons.

Now they were certain that they were no match for these two holy sons.

Bang!

A loud bang followed.

Xiao Chen and Cao Youqian both retreated several dozen steps.

"Junior brother, we've fought enough. It's time to get serious. Let me see how far your Extreme Dao Divine Fist has come."

"Alright, I'd also like to see how much of the Sword Emperor's influence your 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin' technique has."

As the two brothers spoke, they once again raised their aura to its peak.

"Extreme Dao Divine Fist!"

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

Cao Youqian unleashed a punch that changed the very color of the sky; it seemed as if that punch could blast a hole in the sky itself.

Although the attack wasn't aimed at the large group of people, most of the spectators at the Dao-Seeking Academy trembled with unease.

Xiao Chen thrust out his sword, and in an instant, the dark sky was illuminated by countless sword lights as if it were daytime.

Countless sword lights converged into a single sword in the sky.

The moment the sword was drawn, all was silent, and only this one sword remained in the world.

That was an invincible sword strike!

Before this sword, even gods and Buddhas trembled.

It was as if no one in the world could withstand this sword strike.

Clang!

With a sword's cry, the sword pierced through the giant fist in the sky and headed towards Cao Youqian's location.

Tear!

After Cao Youqian by the sword, the Faxiang behind him shattered instantly, and he fell from the sky like a kite with a broken string...
