Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Scramble for Recruitment!

"Why admit defeat earlier? I fought so hard, my hands are hurting, it’s really frustrating." Chen Xiao reluctantly retracted his hand, he had to admit...

It was really soft and elastic.

As he released his grip, he pushed Zi Yuan away.

Zi Yuan staggered a few steps before steadying herself, wanting to rub her sore buttocks but felt embarrassed to do so in public. She could only endure and glared at Chen Xiao angrily.

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "I happened to be weak during this period, my strength hasn’t returned to its peak state, so that’s the only reason you won today. You beat me just by luck!"

"However, I’m not someone who goes back on my word. Today, I’ll let you go!"

"Lady, that’s not right." Several elders from Xuantian Sect were full of fury, "This punk has humiliated you like this, how can we let him off so easily?"

Zi Yuan gave them a cold glance, "Shut up!"

The elders immediately shut their mouths.

Their lady’s temper is most peculiar, and they did not dare provoke her casually.

"Once I return to my peak, I will lower my cultivation level to fight you again!" Zi Yuan glared at Chen Xiao coldly.

"Win first, then talk." Chen Xiao smiled indifferently.

"Then let’s wait and see!" Zi Yuan took a deep breath, her mind filled with unsettling thoughts.

After all, she is the most gifted disciple in Xuantian Sect in the past hundred years, and her father is the leader of Xuantian Sect. Their lineage has always been the strongest in Xuantian!

She grew up surrounded by flowers and admiration, undefeated in the same realm, yet today she was humiliated by Chen Xiao in a fight at the same level.

Naturally, she felt indignant!

She must redeem herself.

Besides, her current poor condition was not a mere excuse; it was indeed the truth.

This was related to her special physique.

She was confident that once her condition returned to normal, she could completely crush Chen Xiao in the same realm!

She paused and said, "Today, I let you leave, but I am still willing to give you a chance. If you wish to cultivate in my Xuantian Sect, you can come anytime."

"We, the Xuantian Sect, are not petty and vindictive people!"

Chen Xiao casually replied, "We’ll think about it."

The most important task for him now is the mission the old man talked about regarding entering the Dragon Vein!

As for joining any sect...

He totally had no plans.

"Hehehe——" Suddenly, a silver-bell-like seductive laugh sounded, "Lady Zi Yuan, your Xuantian Sect is so talented, isn’t it unnecessary to recruit so many more talents?"

"But our Miaoqu Palace is full of female disciples, all of extraordinary beauty. Cultivating our Miaoqu Palace’s cultivation technique would be more appropriate, as if tailored for them."

"Moreover, our Miaoqu Palace could use charming and masculine male disciples like him to balance our sect’s Yin and Yang energies."

"Why not let them join our Miaoqu Palace instead?"

After this voice fell, a hearty laugh came over, "Hahaha! I just watched as well, this little friend has a strong body, joining our Kao Shan Sect could lead to greater progress. After all, we Kao Shan Sect are famous for Body Refinement!"

"If I remember correctly, this brother is called Chen Xiao; with our history of not hitting each other to know each other, if you are willing to join our Kao Shan Sect, we can write off past grievances and fully cultivate you!"

"Our Yuanqing Sect is also willing to recruit this young brother into the sect for full cultivation!"

"Our Sword Sect needs fresh blood! As long as you are willing to join our Sword Sect, everything is negotiable!"

As these voices fell, everyone turned to see a group of people flooding into the scene.

They wore outfits of different sects, but most were either extremely handsome or exceptionally beautiful.

They were the outstanding youths from the other sects among the Eight Hidden Sects.

Earlier, a few young women were conducting talent tests here, causing quite a commotion, attracting people from nearby sects who then witnessed the battle between Chen Xiao and Zi Yuan and thought to take advantage by recruiting them.

Yuanqing Sect and Sword Sect are two other sects from the Upper Three Sects.

These two sects are not weak, just slightly inferior to Xuantian Sect, so they weren’t wary of Xuantian Sect’s power and came directly to recruit.

Chen Xiao hadn’t anticipated that his casual visit to conduct a test today would cause such a stir; indeed, being too conspicuous is not always a good thing.

He understood that these sects’ recruitment was due to their worth. However, if they joined one sect, they might be resented by the others.

Those who can’t acquire them would destroy them, extinguish them in the cradle, preventing the opponent from gaining.

So, his expression was not good at this moment.

Things were becoming complicated.

From a distance, Chen Xiao noticed that Dao Qi Sect and Qinglan Sect, these two sects, had also arrived, their disciples steadily observing them.

Earlier, Zheng Yiqi was now standing behind a young man with starry eyes and sharp eyebrows, glaring poisonously. He seemed to have said something to the youth, who also looked at Chen Xiao with a cold gaze.

As for the Qinglan Sect’s end, Lan Zijian and Chen Xuan were standing listlessly behind a young man with similarly sinister expressions.

These two sects hadn’t stepped forward to invite them into their own sects, clearly intending to list him as an enemy and destroy him directly.

Zi Yuan saw them approaching, her face turned unpleasant, "This is the territory of our Xuantian Sect, what are you doing here?"

Miaoqu Sect’s chief disciple, Su Miaoyin, laughed sweetly, "Lady Zi Yuan, what you said is not right. We, the Eight Hidden Sects, are one family; everyone should support and help each other."

"Since people don’t like Xuantian Sect, you shouldn’t stop them from joining other sects, right?"

"That’s right, even though Xuantian Sect is the head of the Eight Sects, it doesn’t need to be so domineering, right? Everyone should have a share, this will ensure sustainable development!" Speaking was Yuanqing Sect’s direct chief disciple, Yuan Qingshan.

Dignified and elegant, exuding a scholarly aura.

Sword Sect’s chief disciple Jian Yiming bluntly said to Chen Xiao, "Join our Sword Sect for cultivation, our Sword Sect will protect you, and your women can also join our Sword Sect for cultivation!"

Earlier, Chen Xiao and Zi Yuan’s battle was all seen by them.

Even though Chen Xiao’s cultivation wasn’t as high as theirs, he could defeat Zi Yuan at the same realm, definitely a prodigy! Recruiting him will surely not be a loss!

Everyone looked at Chen Xiao enviously.

The Eight Hidden Sects are powerful forces within Kunlun, each very strong, and it’s difficult for them to join one, yet all these sects came rushing to recruit Chen Xiao?
