Chapter 583 Inter-Sect Competition II

In one corner, there was a little girl with her two disciples, and the little girl was none other than Meng Yao, the elder of the Vermilion Imperial Sect.

"Lan Yin! Meng Hao! You two better watch out for that guy, I hope you two don't underestimate him." Meng Yao said to her two disciples as she pointed at Xia Tian, who was walking hand in hand with Feng Xian'er.

"Hey, you take it easy, Aunt Yao. I'll definitely beat that guy later!" Meng Yao spoke confidently as he snorted under his breath.

As for Lan Yin, she didn't say anything, and she kept her eyes fixed on Xia Tian.

"You are too confident, Meng Hao! He is Liu Ying's son, Xia Tian. Your talent is nothing compared to hers, and he is even more terrifying than his mother." Meng Yao rebuked her nephew.

'Humph!' Meng Hao and glared at Xia Tian with hostility. 'Let's see later! I will definitely defeat you and humiliate you in front of everyone!'

Their Room

"Tian? Why do you seem restless thinking about something?" Feng Xian'er asked and rested her head on Xia Tian's shoulder.

Xia Tian simply nodded at her and hugged her waist. "I did think of something, Xian'er. But I'm sorry, I can't tell you and the others right now, especially since I still don't have a clear conclusion myself, and once I find out the answer then I will let you guys know about it."

"We chose you because we believe that you will not let us down, so if you have figured it out, then you must tell us later, and we will definitely help you." Feng Xian said calmly with a smile.

"Yes! When the time comes, I will definitely tell you all." Xia Tian then contacted Ran Qing and asked about Sapphira, but her reply surprised him, and he didn't expect that the two of them would immediately return to the Holy Central Continent. 'Did anything bad happen on this continent while I was in seclusion, Alice?'

[Nothing happened on this continent, Master. Even so, I detected a ghost cultivator's movements, but every time I locked onto his aura, he would suddenly disappear.]

Xia Tian raised his eyebrows. 'It seems he used a special artifact to hide his aura.'

*Knock...Knock...*

"Come in!" Feng Xian answered the knock on the door.

Qin Qing then walked in while looking at them strangely, even more so after seeing their overly intimate postures. 'Sigh! Xian'er is already getting closer and closer to this damn Xia Tian.'

"Why are you here?" Feng Xian'er asked her.

Qin Qing then took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xia Tian. "This is a list of competitions in order; alchemy and forging will take place at the same time."

Xia Tian read the list and nodded in understanding, and he then brought out his clone from the Ancient Sacred Realm. "I will enter the alchemy competition, and my clone will enter the forging competition."

Qin Qing smiled wryly after she saw Xia Tian's clone. 'Sigh, this guy is so absurd! He's the only person who can enter both competitions at the same time.'

After that, Qin Qing left them, and Xia Tian's clone followed behind.

A few hours later, the hour for the inter-sect alchemy competition finally arrived. Even though almost all sects have alchemy divisions, but the competition has always been dominated by young disciples from the Alchemist Guild as well as the Vermilion Imperial Sect.

The third strongest in the field of alchemy is the Medical Valley Sect, and the dominance of these three sects is almost undeniable in the southern continent.

However, for the competition this time, the other three sects also sent their representatives, and what surprised them most was the only participant from the Star Moon Sect.

'Hmm? It looks like something interesting will happen later.' Xia Tian inwardly muttered as he observed the other participants.

Suddenly, a man's voice shouted at him. "Hey you! I will definitely beat you in the competition later!"

The man was none other than Meng Hao, Meng Yao's disciple and nephew.

"I really don't like someone yelling at me." Xia Tian said coldly as he glared fiercely at him. He then looked at the little girl behind him and mocked her. "Oh? So he's your disciple, Meng Yao? No wonder you two look so much alike; you two are too arrogant and ridiculous!"

"You!-"

"Stop it, Meng Hao!" Meng Yao was also irritated by Xia Tian's ridicule, but he didn't want to make a fuss before the start of the competition, because they could be disqualified.

Meng Yao wanted to lead her two disciples to the competition area, but Xia Tian mocked her again, and everyone present in the place turned to look at them. "Aren't you an expert alchemist? Are you still unable to concoct the antidote for that pill? Why has your body remained so small until now?"

Meng Yao instantly stiffened after hearing his questions. She had tried everything he knew, but she had never been able to find an antidote to restore her body to normal.

Xia Tian then clasped his hands lightly and spoke again. "Oh, I just remembered! I gave Meng Weiran the same pill as you, and you two are like a pair of sisters now."

"Why did you give Weiran the pill?" Meng Yao himself was not surprised by that, because some time ago her niece contacted her to ask for an antidote.

"You bastard! What did you do to my sister!?" Meng Hao shouted loudly while clenching his fists tightly.

"What? Are you deaf?" Xia Tian nonchalantly asked.

"You-!"

"Meng Hao!" An old man shouted at him as he walked towards them. "Do you really want to make a fuss in this place? Do you want me to disqualify you?"

"Chairman Yan Jin!" Meng Hao bowed respectfully, and he then pointed at Xia Tian. "It wasn't me who made the fuss, but he did it. He insulted my master, and he also did something bad to my sister!"

Yan Jin glanced at Xia Tian briefly and then rebuked Meng Hao. "I don't care about your personal matters with him, but there shouldn't be any fuss in this place. As for personal matters, you should settle them outside this place."

After that, Yan Jin immediately left them, and his two disciples followed behind him.

Meng Yao sighed heavily; he and his two disciples also hurriedly left the place, and they entered the competition hall.

In VIP Room

"Master, who is that guy that Meng Hao was fussing about?" One of his disciples asked Yan Jin.

Yan Jin sighed softly and explained to her. "Yan Ning! He is Xia Tian, Liu Ying's son. As I told you guys a while ago, he is Zhu Yuhe's son-in-law, so you two must be careful of him."

"So he is that Xia Tian?" Guo Peng then spoke again. "But I saw him wearing the Star Moon Sect uniform, and as far as I recall, that sect doesn't have an alchemy division, master."

"I don't know either, Guo Peng." Yan Jin shook his head and read the list in his hand. "He is the only representative of the sect."

In another room

"Aunt Yao! Why did you stop me? He already did something bad to Weiran!" Meng Hao protested to Meng Yao, and he was very displeased with her.

"If you want to die, then go ahead and fight him." Meng Yao spoke coldly. "Have you forgotten that he is Zhu Yuhe's son-in-law? If something were to happen to him, do you think she would spare our family? Do you want our family to end up like the Luo main family?"

Meng Hao fell silent at that; he certainly hadn't forgotten about it, but he couldn't accept Xia Tian's treatment of his aunt and little sister. 'Damn it! I will definitely make him regret what he did!'

Those powerful cultivators always thought that Xia Tian was the son-in-law of the current ruler of the southern continent, and they didn't dare offend him just because of her name.

But alas, they did not know that Zhu Yuhe herself did not dare oppose him. The main reason is because Xia Tian is her man, and she also knows his character very well.

Xia Tian's Room

"Tian, do you have a problem with Meng Yao?" Feng Xian'er curiously asked.

"Problem?" Xia Tian looked at her in confusion. "Actually, I don't have a problem with her; it's just that her attitude is too arrogant, and her body has shrunk like that because of Xiao'er's pill."

"Xiao'er?" She asked because Xia Tian had never told her.

"Qiao Xiao was my master in my past life, but now she is one of my women. Currently, she lives in the Five Holy Lands, and she is the only God Rank Alchemist throughout the universe." Xia Tian explained it to her.

Feng Xian'er's eyes widened upon hearing that. "God Rank Alchemist!? And... she's the only one in this entire universe?"

"Xiao'er is already over 10,000 years old, and she has never been interested in anything else other than alchemy. She has spent almost 24 hours and 7 full days tinkering with alchemy, so it's no wonder that she was able to reach the God Rank."

"Then what was your alchemist rank in your past life?" She asked and prepared herself for another shock.

Xia Tian smiled faintly and answered her. "I'm only at the Saint Rank."
