The tournament was postponed for a while by Chen Li because he felt that his life was being threatened. He has a strong instinct and never doubts his instinct.
Lian Ting who was surprised at the change in general Chen Li's attitude immediately took the initiative to approach him. He jumped into the middle of the arena and said, "What does this general mean?"
"Why are you postponing the tournament?"
"Aren't tournaments supposed to be done without a break?"
"That's what was written in my request,"
Hearing the question from mut Lian Ting, Tian Zhong tried to silence him by asking another question accompanied by a domineering qi pressure.
"Are you questioning my decision?" general Chen Li asked as he exuded a pressure strong enough to make Lian Ting go numb and tremble in fear.
As General Chen Li's cultivation was much higher than Lian Ting's cultivation, Lian Ting immediately fell silent stiff while trembling in fear.
"What's wrong with her?"
"Why does he keep his distance from me?"
"Is he upset because of the tournament?"
"I must win her heart again, otherwise my plan to seize the territory of that little sect would be ruined," thought Lian Ting with a body that was trembling in fear.
When Lian Ting wanted to try to speak back, Chen Li looked at himself with such a sharp gaze as if hinting that he didn't want to be bothered then. Realizing that forcing to speak now was something that could make things worse, he fell silent and let general Chen Li leave the building.
Meanwhile, Tian Zhong and the subordinates of Xiao Tian who were hidden in the shadows observed general Chen Li from quite a distance away. They continued to follow General Chen Li's movements from a distance while predicting what the haughty general would do.
In addition to relying on his subordinates, Xiao Tian also observed general Chen Li from behind his God mask.
"As expected, with the arrogance of general Chen Li he would definitely not tell Tian Ling that he was currently frightened. Based on my estimation, he would definitely find a quiet place to call for help."
"The rest I leave to you, Tian Zhong," Xiao Tian thought with a smile behind his divine mask.
After seeing General Chen Li want to leave the building, Xiao Tian told Elder Zhao to take Elder Xia Meng away.
"Take Xia Meng to the resting place, I don't want to see her acting on feelings anymore," Xiao Tian said as she held onto Xia Meng's body that had fainted because of her.
"Well pa. .. , I mean elder Yan," Elder Zhao said as he carried the body of elder Xia Meng.
After seeing Chen Li's jemderal exit the building, Xiao Tian began another plan. And the plan started by having Tian Bai and the rest of the thorny storm sect bow and pay their respects to him. All that he did for the sake of luring the alchemist elders from other sects who were curious about the development of the alchemist disciples in the thorny storm sect. He planned to make his die bait to sneer out the elders one by one in a subtle way.
"Tian Bai?" xiao Tian said through telepathy.
"Yes, what's wrong?" tian Bai replied via telepathy.
"Bend me down, and have all the sect members follow you. Make it seem as if you respect me for helping to train alchemists," Xiao Tian telepathically continued.
"But brother, what if they start watching you?"
"Your identity can be .. ," Tian Bai had no time to finish his sentence by telepathy, Xiao Tian cut off the conversation by saying, "Just do it,"
Tian Bai immediately got up from his seat and walked over to Xiao Tian's chair. While walking closer he gave command to everyone through telepathy to follow him as he bowed.
"Thank you for giving victory to our sect," Tian Bai said as he bowed.
All the disciples along with the elders of the thorny storm sect, bowed their heads following Tian Bai's direction.
The three other sects immediately stared towards Xiao Tian. Initially they ignored Xiao Tian's existence because they considered him a weak elder from a mere alchemist branch. But seeing the reaction of patriach Bai and the entire inhabitants of the thorny storm sect made them think that he was the mastermind behind the rise in alchemist skills in the sect.
"Older Xen, keep an eye on the masked swordsman. It doesn't seem like he's a random person" muttered patriach Sun Yu of the winged dragon sect.
"Okay, patriach," Elder Xen said as he saluted.
The winged dragon sect and the golden tiger sect sent one of their elders to investigate the masked man from the thorny storm sect. While Tian Ling ignored Xiao Tian for thinking that he was just a mere ant. He judged it so low because he was unable to sense its cultivation level at all.
Although Tian Ling was impressed indifferently, the elders from the silver lion sect did not just shut up. Without being ruled by their patriach, the elders took the initiative to keep an eye on Xiao Tian's movements. And figure out Xiao Tian's practice method to improve the alchemist skills of their sect.
As this was related to alchemist science, the elders interested in pursuing Xiao Tian were four-star alchemists who were flatly cultivating below spirit realm warriors. Although their cultivation was weak, they ventured to watch over Xiao Tian thinking that Xiao Tian had no cultivation foundation at all.
Realizing that many eyes were starting to notice him, Xiao Tian smiled.
"The net has been successfully stocked, just pull it out to get results," Xiao Tian said inwardly.
After telling everyone to stop bowing, Xiao Tian intended to leave the building. Surely Tian Bai would not allow him to leave without the company of anyone. But because Xiao Tian insisted on refusing to be escorted, Tian Bai gave up on imposing his will. Despite telling Xiao Tian that he let him go alone, Tian Bai still told Elder Zhao to catch up with him after Xiao Tian had already gone far outside the building.

Just as he exited the building, Xiao Tian looked at Chen Li who was walking towards the east. Knowing this Xiao Tian chose to walk westward to lure the alchemist elders to a deserted place.
The desolate place in question was certainly in the area of the alchemist building, everything was so quiet because everyone was in the tournament venue.
Seeing that their prey was already in a desolate place, the elders instantly showed themselves and surrounded Xiao Tian simultaneously.
Woosh
"Give me the scroll of alchemist secret methods you have!" said the elders from three different sects simultaneously and unplanned.
Realizing that not only was his sect eyeing Xiao Tian's training method, elder Xen immediately said,
"Hey you!"
"What are you doing here!"
"He is the victim of my sect!" elder Xen said as he stared intently at the elders.
"Our silver lion sect wants it too, so I hope you guys just give up" Elder Zu said with a smile.
"Just because your sect won consecutive tournaments in the previous year, don't think that you can take my prey!" snapped elder Xen while taking out a sword from within his spatial ring.
As the elders were arguing, Xiao Tian analyzed their strength as well as skill with the God bracelet. Based on his observers, he was currently being surrounded by three second layer spirit realm warriors from the winged dragon sect. One third layer spirit realm swordsman who came from the winged dragon sect. And the five sixth layer spirit realm warriors who came from the Silver Lion sect.
"I see what you mean by backing me up, but can you stop arguing?"
"The two mouths will not solve the problem, you better fight for strength in order to determine who the winner is" Xiao Tian said as he stretched his muscles.
"Good idea" said the elders from the silver lion sect.
"It's clear that I'm the one who was harmed if I fought the forces here. I'm sorry to have come here alone," Elder Xen thought as he clenched his hands together.
"Three versus five is not profitable, but that mysterious method is worth fighting for. It seems like there is no other way but to ask for the help of the winged dragon sect," thought one of the elders of the golden tiger sect as he glanced towards elder Xen.
"It seems like they are also aware of their abilities. Good then," Elder Xen thought as he returned the gaze of the elder of the golden tiger sect.
"Should we gang up on them?" said elder Yun from the silver lion sect.
"There's no need, even though Elder Xen is from a branch of a fighter his cultivation is not much different from mine. It even tends to be lower because it has run out of deep wounds before" Elder Ding said by telepathy.
"I understand," Elder Yun replied as he nodded his head.
When the eight elders fought each other. Elder Yun took out a black chain from his spatial ring then tied the chain to Xiao Tian's body. With a smile on his face he said, "Don't fight and just follow me, okay!"
It seems like your friend is being cornered, look at it," Xiao Tian said as he looked up at the sky.
Elder Yun who thought that Xiao Tian could not possibly escape from his black chain immediately stared upwards to confirm the truth of his words. But who would have thought that his lack of vigilance towards Xiao Tian made him die even faster.
Xiao Tian had arrived just behind him and a jagged sword had already pierced through Elder Yun's back.
"Se ... since when are you behind me?" elder Yun asked before reaching his end.
"Since you looked up at the sky," Xiao Tian said as he pulled back his sword.
Bruckk
"Delete with black chains on your body, then smash those chains at once and instantly pull out a sword from within your spatial ring to stab him in the back. It's also quite your fighting style huh," said the Lightning God as he glanced towards Xiao Tian.
Bruckk
When Elder Yun's body fell, the silver lion elders had yet to realize that his comrade-in-arms had perished at Xiao Tian's hands.
They were too focused on serving the attacks of the elders from the other sects, and intended to kill them.
After they had actually managed to finish off the elders from the other sects. Xiao Tian instantly appeared to suddenly arrive right behind Elder Ding's back with the sword he had already attached to the neck of his prey.
"Fighting in the air is exciting, right?"
"Until you forget about me and your friend" Xiao Tian said with a smile behind his divine mask.
"Ba ... How did you get here?" elder Ding asked with wide eyes.
"Ask that to the guard of hell," Xiao Tian said as he pulled his sword to make Elder Ding lose his life.
"How dare you!" the three elders floated their swords simultaneously towards Xiao Tian, but their swords broke even when they managed to touch Xiao Tian's body.
"Hey hey, your swords are dirty tofu!"
"His blood is scattered on my robe!" said Xiao Tian while emitting a murderous aura that was quite powerful.
"Pe ..fine natural swordsman first layer!"
"It seems we chose the wrong enemy" said the elders with bodies trembling in fear.
"You guys are too slow to notice it," Xiao Tian said as he slashed at the necks of the elders who were silent stiff due to his killing aura.
Bruck

The bodies of the elders fell to the ground. Just when Xiao Tian's affairs were over, Tian Zhong came to look up to Xiao Tian for smelling the smell of blood as he happened to pass by.
"What exactly is your plan?" tian Zhong asked who was confused about Xiao Tian's plan.
"Just shut up and just follow the plot,"
"Why are you here anyway?"
"Go and continue with the plan!"
"If not everything will be chaotic," Xiao Tian said as he looked at Tian Zhong.
"What about this trace of your fight?" tian Zhong asked with a frown.
"I can take care of their bodies. Go," Xiao Tian said as he stared intently at Tian Zhong's eyes.
"Alright, if that's what you want," Tian Zhong said as he left Xiao Tian.
