Chapter 144 - Cooperation (1)

was currently lying on a long bed, and the occasional fragrance of flowers was drifting in and out of the room, causing Xia Xuan to open his eyes slightly.

The room was spotless and the air was fresh, as if it was breakfast.

"Creak." Xia Xuan slowly opened the door to the room and saw a garden in front of him. Yan Shuang, Xia Muning, Suo Balang and Miao Linger were all sitting around a stone table.

Seeing that Xia Xuan had woken up, the four of them hurriedly welcomed him, all of their faces full of smiles.

With the support of the flame frost, Xia Xuan sat on a stone bench and took the cup of tea offered by Miao Linger. Gently taking a whiff of it, he exhaled, and then exhaled all the foul air that had accumulated in his body over the past few days.

Letting out a breath of air, Xia Xuan clenched his hand. Feeling the surging power in his body, he couldn't help but smile.

"The battle this time will not be a loss." As he spoke, a wave of spiritual energy gushed out of Xia Mu's body. The strength of the spiritual energy had actually reached the level of Profound King of the Fifth Rank.

"Little friend is truly gifted." Suo Balang cupped his hands and said to Xia Xuan.

"I don't dare." Xia Xuan returned a smile, then turned his gaze to Miao Linger and asked: "May I know if this is your daughter?"

Suo Balang was startled, he did not expect Xia Xuan to ask such a question, and immediately replied: "My daughter Miao Linger, because she is too mischievous, she ran to this Hundred Desolate Land, if not for Mu Ning protecting her, she would have been captured by the Five Poisons Sect."

Saying that, Suo Balang stared at Miao Linger, scared to the point that he shrunk his head back.

"To tell you the truth, this junior came to the Hundred Wastelands to gain experience. Would Miss Ling'er be willing to accompany me?" Xia Xuan said again.

"This …" Suo Balang was stunned yet again. When he looked at Miao Linger, he just happened to see her pleading eyes, and was at a loss as to what to do.

"Senior, you can consider it for a while. I only want to say that with Lady Ling'er's physique, it will only be good for her if you follow me." Xia Xuan smiled slightly. From the first time they met, Xia Xuan had suspected that Miao Linger's physique was extremely special, and there were no more than three people who had this kind of physique.

"Alright, but you have to protect Ling'er well. Otherwise, even if you are the reincarnation of the Deicide, the eight brothers will not let you go." As he said that, Suo Balang's face became extremely fierce, as though he was a blade emitting a sharp cold Qi.

After he finished agreeing on the matter with Miao Linger, Xia Xuan turned to look at Xia Muning.

"I'm very tired and would like to rest for two years. For these two years, all the Stellar Martial Gate s will be taking over the position, so you can take care of it." Without waiting for Xia Xuan to speak, Xia Muning had already stretched himself and placed his hands behind his head, then left the garden.

Looking at Xia Muning's slowly leaving figure, Xia Xuan's heart was moved.

Xia Muning knew that Xia Xuan would sooner or later become the Deicide again, but it was impossible for him to become enemies with the Celestial King with just his strength, so he needed a type of leadership ability. He only needed enough followers to resist the Celestial King, and the Stellar Martial Gate was a good opportunity to train.

Xia Xuan knew that Xia Muning had operated for an entire seven years to obtain the current Stellar Martial Gate, so for him to be able to directly hand over the position of sect master to Xia Xuan, wasn't that a type of trust as well?

Xia Xuan was proud to have such a close relative.

In a room in the Stellar Martial Gate, Xia Xuan and Xia Muning were seated on the highest seat. There were a few clan elders in the sect below, and when the elders heard that Xia Muning wanted to pass the position of sect master to Xia Xuan to represent for two years, they were all so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. However, when they heard that Xia Xuan wanted to turn the position of sect master into Xia Xuan, they immediately became pleasantly surprised.

There were no clans, no clear divisions of powers, only a school led by a single person, but even such a sect would have to be divided into one to three levels. There were even legendary sects, and with the Hundred Poison Sect's strength, they could only be called a two star sect in the Hundred Wastelands, as for the legendary sect's Sect Leader s, they were at least at the Mysterious Sect level.

Xia Xuan had said that he wanted the Stellar Martial Gate to become the strongest sect in all of Desolate Land, so as the current elder of the Stellar Martial Gate, he would naturally benefit from it.

Of course, they would not believe Xia Xuan, because there was a Divine General Ranker by Xia Xuan's side. Let alone becoming the strongest sect in the Primordial Era, it would be easy for him to destroy the entire Hundred Desolate Land, much less the Stellar Martial Gate.
