Chapter One Hundred Leaving Xiao's House, Entering Zhongzhou
"Everyone, brothers and sisters! In the Central Plains, not only is it fraught with danger, but also has the strongest powers on the main roads. If we can dominate the Central Plains, it's equivalent to dominating the entire Douqi Continent! I will follow in the footsteps of Patriarch Xiao Yan and enter that place! The strength inside may be roughly at the level of Yunlai Sect, so everyone must work hard to become a Dou Master, or even a Great Dou Master. That way, our Xiao family will become one of the top powers in the Central Plains!"
Facing the Xiao family disciples, Xiao Xing Meng was giving a speech. However, in his words, the hellish difficulty of Zhongzhou's instance had been greatly reduced to novice difficulty.
As soon as Xiao Xing Meng's words fell, a burst of chaotic discussions erupted from the group of Xiao family members below.
"Alright! Xing Meng Ge, we're all bored in the Imperial Capital, hurry up and take us to Zhongzhou!"
"I wonder if there are many beautiful women (handsome men) there?"
"Isn't it just a Dou Shi? With our Xiao family's extraordinary talent, it should be done in about five or six years!"
"Haha, with Xing Meng and Xiao Yan, our Xiao family can dominate the Code Empire, naturally we can also dominate the Dou Qi Continent."
……
After waving his hand to quiet down the bunch of daydreamers below, Xiao Xing Meng turned his head to look at Xiao Ning beside him. With a serious and solemn tone, he said: "So..."
Xiao Ning, are you willing to accept a daunting task? Help manage the Xiao family?
"I... I'd be delighted!" Xiao Ning was slightly excited, and his words were stuttered.
He patted Xiao Ning's shoulder, and Xiao Xing Meng said: "Alright, I'll appoint you as the Grand Steward of the Xiao family, to assist Xiao Mei in managing the Xiao family well. Don't disappoint the Xiao family's expectations of you."
"……Alright." Xiao Ning's expression suddenly became much more colorful.
I'm really a kind-hearted undercover agent! In the end, I still managed to upgrade the Xiao family's people to Dou or Da Dou Shi... As for whether they took medicine to boost their strength and how strong they are, that's not my concern.
After entrusting the Flame Alliance and the Xiao family to the four guys from the Soul Temple and Xiao Mei, Xiao Xing Meng also left the Imperial Capital with his disciples. They were ordered by themselves to maintain the status quo. Xiao Yan himself would not become a leader, and he was only focused on cultivating outside, unable to control things from afar. Xiao Yu had also left, and the Xiao family would probably continue to plague the Gamma Empire for several more years... Alas.
The five masters and disciples did not ride the Lion Eagle Beast, but instead flew directly to the Tianying Mountains by relying on their own aura. They also did not enter the Tianya City, which was famous for its spatial wormholes, but instead passed directly over it, relying on the soul temple's own spatial wormhole settings to enter the most feared and mysterious place on the mainland - Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou is not as simple as Xiao Xingmeng said to the Xiao family children. Inside, it's a place where saints are as common as dogs. Even the lowest-level guards of a small family are at least at the level of a great fighter. With the strength of the Xiao family, they would be trampled to death in the blink of an eye.

The strong wind, filled with a sense of killing autumn wind, poured in from the city gate, blowing up sand and dust. The autumn was high and the clouds were pale. In the midst of a mountain range, there stood a town that seemed to have been erected in the middle of the mountain, appearing before the five masters and disciples who had been flying over the desolate wilderness for days, finally finding a town after much difficulty.
"It's really tiring, the Central State is much bigger than I imagined. We've been flying for so long after entering the wormhole and we can finally see the city." Little Medical Fairy gently wiped away the fragrant sweat on her forehead, even with her abilities, continuous flight for such a long time was also very exhausting.
"The people of this town are indeed stronger than those in the Black Corner Domain, but they still seem to be no match for me." Yan Cheng said calmly.
"This is just a small border town in Zhongzhou, where having a Dou Wang can be considered a second-rate force, and having a Dou Sheng is a first-rate force. Like our Soul Clan, which has many Dou Shengs, we are already an extraordinary force. We usually wouldn't appear here so easily." Xiao Xing Meng casually explained the forces of Zhongzhou to his disciples, lest he spoil them with the Xiao family's teachings and raise a bunch of arrogant ones.
"There is not only the soul, ancient, spirit, flame, medicine, stone, and thunder of the seven ancient tribes with extraordinary powers here, but also a temple, a tower, two sects, three valleys, and four halls. The temple is our Soul Temple, the tower is that Dan Tower; the two sects are Tianming Sect and Huajiang Sect, these two sects also have extremely strong power in Zhongzhou, but looking at this ranking, it's clear that they are far inferior to our Soul Temple."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the four disciples shone with a rare gleam. Their own strength could establish itself as a super-ordinary standard in Zhongzhou; this master was indeed awesome. At the same time, they also secretly made up their minds to become stronger so that they could proudly enter this extraordinary hall.
"As for the three valleys, they are Ice River Valley, Sound Valley, and Flame Valley. The four pavilions are Starfall Pavilion, Myriad Sword Pavilion, Yellow Spring Pavilion, and Wind Thunder Pavilion. Because of their positions, they stand upright in the middle state, forming a square shape, so they are also known as the Four Sides Gate. We are currently located in the Wind Thunder Pavilion area. However, the middle state is home to many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, such as Ye Kan's current master of his cultivation technique, who did not belong to any faction at that time, emerging like a wild man, but his strength put me in a difficult battle. So when you are training, learn our Soul Clan's calmness, never be reckless and showy."
"There is also the current king of the demon beasts, Taixu Ancient Dragon, as well as many other demon beasts with ancient bloodlines, such as the Tianyao Feng tribe. Later, I will send you to this place for training, and you must not only learn to fight and make others submit, but also learn to negotiate. Except for Taixu Ancient Dragon, if you encounter some demon beasts, you should also invite them to join our Soul Clan's Wan Shou Alliance." Xiao Xing Meng continued to remind them seriously.
"Why didn't you invite Tai Yu Gu Long?" Ah Zi was a member of the Wan Shou Alliance and was most concerned about this matter.
Xiao Xing Meng explained: "The Taixu Ancient Dragon is now like the soul clan among humans, it's the king of the demon beasts. As the number one existence, they will definitely not be willing to submit to humans, even if we are the soul clan. And we can take advantage of this opportunity to win over the demon beasts that are inferior to the Taixu Ancient Dragon and are full of hostility towards them, thus forming an even stronger power."
"Win over the second, third and so on, thus forming a force that surpasses the first?" Azura pondered for a moment before saying.
"It seems that we and the Tai Virtual Dragon are destined for a battle, I'd like to try and see whose body is harder, the dragon's or mine." Ye Kan heard this and had already begun to rub his fists together.
"Alright, this Tianbei City under your feet is the starting point for the four of you to enter Zhongzhou. With me as your teacher, I'm sure you'll be able to reach the pinnacle of the Douqi Continent!"

"Is Father coming back?" At this time, in the Soul Realm, a girl opened her eyes, and a smile appeared on her delicate small face, with an expectant look in her eyes.
PS: It just so happens that the second section has ended at exactly 100 chapters, with the first section having 10 chapters and the second section having 90 chapters. If this trend continues, does that mean the third section, Zhongzhou, will have 900 chapters, making it a total of 1,000 chapters? I'm even scaring myself.
One hundred chapters done, tried uploading character settings picture, but all sorts of errors occurred, even this chapter was affected, deleted and re-uploaded.
