“What are you guys trying to do?”
Seeing the scene outside, Tian Quan instantly hid behind Chen Chen, his eyes full of vigilance.
Zhou qiong said coldly, “Nothing. I’m just asking you to come back to the Danxia sect with me!”
“I’m not going!”Tian Quan shook his head repeatedly, then looked at Chen Chen with a pleading gaze.
“Brother Tianyun, we are now in the same boat. If these people capture me to the Danxia sect, I definitely won’t end up well. You have to help me!”
Chen Chen gestured for him to calm down. Then, he smiled and said to Zhou qiong, “Miss, why do you need to use such crude methods to solve the problem? As the saying goes, the melon that is forcefully twisted is not sweet…”
Zhou Qiong knew that Chen Chen was an honored guest of the Yi Xing Palace, so she did not have any intention of making things difficult for Chen Chen. Now that she saw Chen Chen plead on behalf of the Heavenly Dog, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Sir, it’s better for you not to meddle in other people’s business. This matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible so that you won’t attract unnecessary trouble.”
After saying that, she waved her hand, and a group of cultivators immediately made way for her. Her meaning was self-evident.
The smile on Chen Chen’s face did not diminish. He said indifferently, “I know what you want to do. Perhaps I can help you. To be honest, I also cultivate the Dao of deduction.”
“The Dao of deduction? Do you think that cultivating the Dao of deduction is like cultivating cabbages? You also cultivate this dao of deduction. Do you really think that I’m that easy to fool? I’ll give you another five breaths. If you still don’t leave, Don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
Zhou Qiong’s voice became incomparably cold. Her phoenix-like eyes were filled with determination. It was clear that she was determined to capture Tian Quan today.
Actually, Chen Chen had also made up his mind to see what the situation in Heavenly Devil City was like. Therefore, he was completely unflustered at this moment. When he heard Zhou Qiong’s cold words, his smile became even calmer.
“How can a woman like you not know what’s good for her? Fellow Daoist Tianyun really knows the art of deduction, and his ability is far superior to mine! Otherwise, why would I be so polite to him!”
Beside him, Tian Quan stood up for Chen Chen.
When Zhou Qiong heard this, her face revealed a look of surprise. For a moment, she couldn’t make up her mind. A moment later, she bowed to Chen Chen.
“Senior, please forgive me. This little girl was also forced into a corner. That’s why I’ve offended you. If senior can really fulfill my heart’s desire and help our Danxia sect, then our Danxia sect will definitely give you a satisfactory reward!”
“What reward?”
Since they had already decided to lay their cards on the table, it was better to get more benefits. Therefore, Chen Chen did not have much of a demeanor to speak of at the moment.
“Spirit Crystals, spirit stones, pills, cultivation techniques… as long as our Danxia sect has them, we can do anything,”Zhou Qiong said confidently.
Although the Danxia sect did not have any tribulation transcending cultivators, in terms of financial resources, they were not inferior to those sects that had tribulation transcending cultivators. Therefore, when it came to rewards, her heart was filled with confidence.
Chen Chen smiled slightly. In fact, what he wanted the most in his heart was this Yi City. Of course, he knew that this was wishful thinking.
He wanted to settle for the second best. He wanted a city that belonged to him. If he could manage the city to be on par with Yi City, why would he need to go out and search for spirit crystals in the future?
It had to be said that what the Li Xian sect lacked the most right now was a city.
In the future, even if he had the opportunity to join the Heavenly Devil City and become a city lord, those cities would only belong to the Heavenly Devil City. He was only a manager and most of the profits would still have to be handed over to the Heavenly Devil City.
Thinking of this, he pondered for a while and said straightforwardly, “I want a city.”
“What!”
Zhou Qiong cried out in surprise. Although she had thought that this person would ask for too much, she didn’t expect him to ask for so much.
A city was a rigid standard that measured the strength of a sect. Its value was immeasurable. How could it be handed over so easily?
Not to mention that she was unwilling, even if she was willing, she could not make such a decision.
At the thought of this, she wanted to reject.
However, Chen Chen beat her to it and said, “I heard that the Danxia sect has two cities. Other than this Yi City, there’s another one. It’s not that important to your Danxia sect.
“I’ve helped you. I only want the right to buy this city. In other words, I won’t take your city for free. Instead, I’ll buy it with spirit stones and the like.”
“This… Our Danxia sect doesn’t lack spirit stones.”Zhou Qiong shook her head and said.
In fact, not only did they not lack spirit stones, but they also had a large amount of reserves. If any sect wanted to sell their city now, they would most likely join the competition immediately. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly sell their city?
“I can do other things as well. I have spirit crystals, treasures, pill formulas, and secret arts,”Chen Chen said indifferently.
He indeed had all of these things. Back then, the tribulation transcending cultivator had quite a number of them in his storage ring. Among them, there were quite a few that were exceptionally precious, enough to tempt the Danxia sect.
Zhou Qiong did not mention the matter of the reward again. Instead, she said very seriously, “Are you that confident that you can help our Danxia sect? What we’re looking for is a mysterious cultivator who comes and goes without a trace and is only a flash in the pan.”
When Chen Chen heard this, he stroked his beard and said, “I naturally have this confidence because I am very familiar with him. How about this? When he joins Heavenly Devil City, I will ask him to take care of your Danxia sect. Is that Alright?”
When Zhou Qiong heard this, her expression changed drastically.
She originally thought that the person in front of her could only rely on the dao of deduction to find people. She did not expect that he was actually familiar with that person!
This made her both surprised and happy! As long as what this person said was true, then as long as she communicated well with this person, she would definitely be able to find that mysterious cultivator.
When that time came, her father would definitely look at her in a different light. She would also be able to prove herself in the sect.
When she thought of this, a smile gradually appeared on her face. Her attitude towards Chen Chen also became more respectful.
As the daughter of the Danxia sect’s sect master, she clearly knew what the Danxia sect lacked the most.
What it lacked the most was a solid backer!
Although the Danxia sect had a relationship with Sky Demon City, the various sects under Sky Demon City were also divided into close and distant factions.
Their Danxia sect wasn’t an indispensable sect. After all, they only handed over a little more spirit stones than the other sects.
As for medicinal pills… After managing the business for so many years, the Danxia sect’s pill refinement level had long fallen behind. Some alchemists were covered in the smell of spirit stones. How could they still have the mood to refine pills?
“Can you really persuade him to take care of our Danxia sect in the future?”
Zhou Qiong asked again.
Chen Chen nodded solemnly. If he couldn’t convince him, would there be anyone else in the world who could? Hehe!
“It’s not that the matter of the city can’t be discussed, but I have to ask father first. After all, he spent a lot of effort to get this city back then.”
Zhou Qiong took out her communication token and began to transmit the message.
Seeing this scene, tian quan whispered, “Fellow Daoist Tianyun, can you really do it?”
“Of course I can. Do you take me as a liar like you?”
Chen Chen snorted and said.
After whispering a few words, Zhou Qiong put away her communication token, she said excitedly, “Senior, my father has agreed, and he will personally come to discuss this matter with senior! Senior, please stay in Yi City for a while!”
