Chapter 141: Sworn Brothers

  Xiao Qiu Yu introduced the origin of Dan Xuan Men to Chen Xuan, and then introduced the situation of several other domains, which benefited Chen Xuan greatly. Next, he continued to introduce the origin of this large array to Chen Xuan.

  "Chen Xuan, this large formation is called the Thousandfold Rain Formation. It was set up by the first generation of the sect's master and has been modified bit by bit over several generations. Don't underestimate this formation; even a strong practitioner from the First Heaven Realm would be reduced to nothing if they tried to force their way in. This formation can even withstand a strong practitioner from the Second Heaven Realm, although I don't fully understand it myself - I've just heard some of the older disciples talk about it. It's not an empty rumor; otherwise, how could such a large medicinal garden be left unguarded?" said Xiao Qiuyu.

  "This is so fierce" Tianling realm's strong Chen Xuan had never seen before, but this time during the big comparison of Diligent Spirit, Chen Xuan also felt from afar the overwhelming aura emanating from them. He himself was not even an ant in front of them, and that Tianling was incredibly powerful. However, thinking back to the giant mountain range being cut off by someone on the martial arts arena, he suddenly understood that his earlier thoughts of absorbing the medicinal materials here were futile. At that time, he would probably be killed by the grand formation without even leaving behind ashes. Only then did Chen Xuan realize how terrifying this grand formation was.

  "Over the years, many elixirs have flowed out of Tianbao Garden, including many healing elixirs and some auxiliary elixirs that were picked from within. The sixteen peaks also have some medicine gardens, but compared to this one, they are just small magic tricks." Xiao Qiuyu said

  Two people chatted together for a while, and the others had basically all arrived. Chen Xuan was with Xiao Qiuyu and Qin Huo, Li Cheng and several others were together, Fei Yan and Feng Ling were talking to each other, possibly because they were both women, and there was another group that was particularly eye-catching, which was Qian Kun. There were four or five people together, including Qian Kun, Ding Er, Han Jiang, Xuan Yuan Li, and Yu Shuqiang, each with a hateful gaze towards Chen Xuan.

  "Brother, it seems you've offended quite a few people this time. Everyone's looking at you with an expression that says they'd love to devour you whole." Qin Huo said;

  "Do you think I care? If you feel that standing with me, Chen Xuan, will lead to their misunderstanding and assume you are in cahoots with me, then I, Chen Xuan, won't force the issue. Several senior brothers, please go ahead." Chen Xuan also saw the expressions of those few people looking at him from afar.

  "Junior brother, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on us? We are all dignified masters in our own right. Why should we be afraid of being misunderstood? Who we associate with is our business, and others have no right to interfere." Qin Huo Dao said:

  "Alright, since you all think I, Chen Xuan, am worth befriending, I, Chen Xuan, won't disappoint everyone. From now on, we are brothers." Chen Xuan said calmly.

  "Good, I like your personality, you're not so reserved. You're a friend I, Qin Huo, have made."

  "Also me," Li Cheng said as he also walked up.

  "Since you think so highly of me, Chen Xuan, why don't we become sworn brothers instead? And what do you say, Big Brother Xiao?" Chen Xuan glanced at Xiao Qiuyu.

  "I couldn't refuse, today the four of us will become sworn brothers." Xiao Qiuyu was also a hot-blooded man, as soon as he heard that several people wanted to become sworn brothers, his blood began to boil. Although Xiao Qiuyu seemed a bit cold, it was just a matter of who he was dealing with. In the past, he had been ranked second among the inner disciples, but after losing to Chen Xuan this year, he seemed to have lost interest in ranking and now only cared about actual strength, completely gone was his former arrogant tone.

  "We four make an oath of brotherhood right here on this main peak today," said Chen Xuan.

  "Good, several others also called out in agreement."

  Four people came to a high platform at the same time, knelt down on both knees, and pointed to the sky with one hand. "The green mountain is witness, I, Xiao Qiuyu, take an oath that from now on, Chen Xuan, Qin Huo, Li Cheng and I will be sworn brothers of different sexes. We will share good fortune together and face difficulties together. If we violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it." Xiao Qiuyu spoke first.

  The other three also said it in turn, thud, thud, thud, no one knocked their heads on the ground three times, and the four of them stood up from the ground.

  Haha, a loud laughter echoed from the main peak, and two beautiful eyes were staring at this side, probably staring at Chen Xuan.

  "It seems like I'm the oldest among all of you brothers, so I can only be the eldest brother," said Xiao Qiuyu.

  "I'm one year older than Li Cheng, I'm twenty-two this year and ranked second"

  "Then I'm the third," said Li Cheng.

  "I can only rank fourth at most. Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, please accept a bow from your younger brother." Chen Xuan bowed to the four of them.

  "Haha, Fourth Brother, among the four of us, your strength is the highest, but your age is also the youngest. It seems that in the future, we older brothers will still have to rely on you." Qin Huo said:

  "We have already sworn an oath just now, to share weal and woe together, why must we still be afraid of those things?" said Chen Xuan.

  "What Chen Xuan said is right. Since we have already become brothers, there is no need to distinguish between the strong and the weak. Between us, there are only brotherly feelings and a sense of camaraderie," said Xiao Qiuyu.

  "What a pity there's no wine today, otherwise it would be even more enjoyable. After today, the four of us will drink to our heart's content," said Xiao Qiuyu with a big laugh.

  Two women also seemed to be influenced by the four and walked over. "Congratulations to the four of you for becoming sworn brothers" Fei Yan came over to congratulate the four of them;

  "You two will be our witnesses today," said Qin Huo.

  "I didn't expect that the four of you could come together like this. Thinking back to a few years ago, the disciples of our Danxuan Gate's Sixteen Peaks were all doing their own thing and never had any of the Sixteen Peaks' disciples come together like this. It seems that the four of you have set a precedent." said Fei Yan Dao

  "In the past, we were too proud of ourselves. When we saw our Fourth Brother, we realized how ignorant we were before. We thought that as a senior brother of the mountain peak, we had forgotten our place. Our Fourth Brother has no background and has always been quietly cultivating himself. This is what we need to learn from him. In the future, we will also learn from Fourth Brother and strive to reach the True Martial Realm as soon as possible."

  The other two also agreed with Lì Chéng's point of view.

  These few people chatted a lot together, including Fei Yan's words also increased, and the smile on her face gradually increased. Maybe it was also infected by the four of them. Feng Ling was born to be an optimist, and soon blended in with the four of them.

  It was unexpected that so many things happened in less than half a time, and Chen Xuan couldn't believe it either. However, the alliance with the other three brothers was made after careful consideration by Chen Xuan. These people were able to stand by his side when Qian Kun and others had such great hatred for him, which is also what Chen Xuan valued.

  "Qian Shixiong, these few people actually became sworn brothers in front of us. Qian Shixiong, do you have any good methods? I want Chen Xuan to die." Ding Er gritted his teeth and said hatefully.

  "For the time being, I haven't thought of a way yet, but soon there will be. Didn't we say yesterday that all of us disciples would have to go out and gain experience in the future? This is our chance. I want him to never come back once he leaves Dan Xuan Gate." Qian Kun also said hatefully.

  "But none of us are a match for Chen Xuan, does Qian Shixiong have any good ideas?" Yu Shuqiang also came over.

  "When the time comes, you will know. This matter cannot be made public. Chen Xuan has already received attention from Dan Xuan Men. In the future, we must also be careful and not leave any handles." Qian Kun said.

  "I was going to challenge Chen Xuan to a life-and-death duel in a few days, but since Master Qian has already made preparations, I'll just wait and see how Chen Xuan dies." Ding Er said ruthlessly.

  "And you two, you normally don't have any deep grudges with Chen Xuan, why did you also choose to stand on the opposite side of Chen Xuan?" Qian Kun asked Han Jiang and Xuan Yang.

  "Do I really need a reason? You want a reason, there's only one, that is, I want to kill him, otherwise the shadow in my heart cannot be eliminated." said Han Jiang.

  "I have no reason, I just don't like him, his life and death have nothing to do with me: Xuan Yuan Li Dao"

  "Alright, since you two also have such a big opinion about Chen Xuan, then it's easier for us to deal with him. For now, let's form a small alliance, and this alliance is just for dealing with Chen Xuan. What do you think?" Qian Kun said.

  "Alright, I agree." Ding Er was the first to agree and the others had no objections either.

  Half a time unit passed, and finally someone came walking towards the dozen or so people. Two men in their twenties with long swords on their backs walked out of the large formation, each one strolling leisurely, with an elegant demeanor.

  "You are the top ten or so winners of this competition, follow me. You must follow in my footsteps. If you take a wrong step, you will be responsible for the consequences."

  "Got it, senior brother," several people replied politely. The strength of these two was not even seen by Chen Xuan, and at the very least, they were both peak True Martial Realm existences.

  Chen Xuan also followed the two into this thousand-layered flower rain array.
