Peerless War God

Chen Xiao smiled and put the second black stone into his bag. He then took a more comfortable position.    

"Say it, what do you want?"    

Hearing this, Tang Lianfeng was overjoyed. What he wanted was actually very simple. It was a promise from the other side. This way, he could help his family survive the battle to seize the island every hundred years.    

As long as the Tang clan could survive through this, another hundred years would be more than enough for the clan to have another powerhouse at the peak of the Sage realm.    

I only want Senior's promise to help my Tang clan when necessary and to overcome this calamity. Naturally, if Senior's strength is insufficient to deal with it, then my clan's fate will be the same.    

Tang Lianfeng lowered his head and carefully said.    

He thought that his request was very reasonable and that the other party had no reason to reject it.    

He had no idea what use this stone tablet had, but before Tang Zhen died, he had given it to him.    

He even said that if a powerful expert came looking for this item, he would just hand it over and exchange it for protection.    

Honestly speaking, Tang Lianfeng had not opened the treasure box to investigate, but he did not know anything about the black stone. Perhaps the ancestor knew something, but he did not have the slightest explanation.    

The meaning in his words was that he didn't want anyone else to investigate it any further.    

He understood the principle that having a treasure was a crime. Some treasures would not be a good thing if they were obtained. Instead, it would bring about disaster. It was evident that Ancestor Tang Zhen was also quite wary of this item.    

He was well aware of himself, and knew that he was just an ordinary person. Forget about the vast Divine Realm, even in the Western Sea, he was just an unremarkable cultivator.    

As long as he could live a peaceful life, he would be satisfied with preserving the family inheritance. Thus, after Chen Xiao appeared, he did as he said without any hesitation.    

It was because he recognized Chen Xiao.    

He recognized him as the mysterious sword cultivator that stood at the top of the mountain and had defeated the frenzied demon dwellers with one sword.    

Not only was he powerful, but the Yu Clan also owed him a favor. This kind of person would usually keep his word.    

This was indeed the case. If the other party were to offer to exchange this stone tablet for some rare medicinal pills or powerful magic treasures …    

For Chen Xiao, it was actually much easier.    

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "This item is very important to me. You might not know what it is. I promise that I can help you twice."    

Hearing this, Tang Lianfeng was overjoyed. He quickly cupped his fists and said: "Thank you, Senior."    

"Take these two jade slips. If you ever need my help with anything, just crush them. Once I know about this, I'll immediately rush over."    

As Chen Xiao spoke, he threw two special transmission jade slips to the other party.    

This special communication jade slip was divided into two pieces by his mother and was refined using a special secret technique. He only needed to crush one of them and the other would shatter at the same time. There was no distance limit.    

Refining this kind of jade chip was extremely troublesome, so it was also very valuable.    

Tang Lianfeng solemnly put away the jade slip and said: "How about Senior stay on the island for a few more days and let me show you my hospitality as a host?"    

Chen Xiao thought that he had stayed on the island long enough and did not want to be delayed any longer.    

"There's no need for that. I still have things to do, so I need to leave this place first."    

After speaking, he didn't even wait for the other party to react. His body flashed out of the Tang clan residence, and he teleported out of the room.    

He only left behind Tang Lianfeng, who didn't know what to do. Right now, his gaze was a bit complicated and there was also worry.    

After Chen Xiao left, a group of people immediately walked in from outside. They were all influential people in the Tang clan.    

Even though he didn't specially send a sound transmission to inform the others, a stranger barged into the clan. Before he could even conceal his aura, he immediately knew.    

"Patriarch, let him take away the items just like that. What if he doesn't keep his promise?"    

At this time, one of the Tang Clan elders said worriedly.    

This was actually what Tang Lianfeng was worried about. If the other party didn't keep his promise, then there was nothing he could do.    

Even with the opponent's strength, even if he wanted to snatch the thing from him today, it would be an easy task. He knew that the opponent had the strength to do so.    

But he didn't do so. Judging from this point, Tang Lianfeng chose to believe in his opponent's character.    

He took a deep breath and said: "Since things have come to this, we can only trust in this senior's character and will keep his promise. Otherwise, do you have any better ideas?"    

"This …"    

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, speechless.    

Chen Xiao didn't actually go far after leaving Green Coconut Island. He flew to a deserted island near the sea, opened up a temporary hiding spot, and dove in.    

After he had set up a concealment array, he took out the two black stone slabs and carefully compared them.    

He then discovered that these two stone tablets contained incomplete cultivation techniques from the Demon Area. Moreover, they seemed to be the same cultivation method.    

It was just like how many great powers and sects would divide their own cultivation techniques into two parts and pass them on to all their disciples.    

If one wanted to obtain the lower part of the cultivation method, they would have to obtain a certain amount of contribution from the sect.    

This method was very similar, but now he was a bit troubled. The two slabs were both incomplete, and even if they were joined together, it wouldn't be smooth.    

This proved that this was not the complete content of the cultivation technique, so where was the rest?    

Chen Xiao sat down on the ground and leaned against the stone wall. He stared at the two stone slabs and thought hard.    

With this thought, three to eight hours had passed, and the scenery outside had turned from black to white.    

Finally, a glint flashed across his eyes. Like a bolt of lightning piercing through the clouds, he muttered, "Maybe I was overthinking things. In fact, the simplest method would sometimes be the most effective one."    

He sat up straight and used both hands to pick up the two slabs. Then, he slowly put them together and discovered that they unexpectedly fit together.    

It was just like a piece of paper with two sides. The black stone slab was the same.    

He slowly moved the two slabs and merged them together. The result was that they were completely seamless.    

It was as if the two stone tablets were one and had been forcibly split into two from the very beginning.    

After the two broken slabs merged into one, a faint layer of blood-red light appeared on top of it. The aura of a Demon Fighter emitted from it, causing Chen Xiao's heart to tighten.    

However, the blood-red light soon dissipated.    

When he looked again, the symbols on the two stone tablets had changed. From the very beginning, the two incomplete cultivation techniques had automatically been completed into a complete cultivation method of the Demon Area.
