Chapter 1499 - 122 - 128

Chapter 122: Advancing into Central State

Another half a week went by.

The Miracle Commerce Store's situation had now stabilized.

All the small and large media outlets of South Sky City had all been tracking how high Miracle Commerce Store's sales were. It deeply affected the hearts of everyone that knew.

This brand new business model and the power Miracle Commerce had, it naturally caused many outside companies to approach them with plans for cooperation. They were hoping to add their products to the Miracle Commerce Store's shelves.

Meng Qingwu followed a single principle.

As long as the product was good and had a good performance to price ratio, it would be added to the Miracle Commerce Store. Miracle Commerce only provided the stage, the products of the major companies would all have a fair chance to compete.

Once Miracle Commerce reached this new peak in South Sky City, Chu Tian finally made his decision. They would leave South Sky City and charge into Central State.

South Sky City was only a small place.

There was a lack of resources and the people were not strong. Chu Tian and Miracle Commerce could not stay in a small place like this forever.

Central State City was the main city of the state!

The Four Great Families, Chu, Luo, Ye, and Yun, each one had countless experts. Any one of their Awakened Soul Experts was several times stronger than any Awakened Soul Cultivators from South Sky City!

Above the Four Great Families was the Feng Family. With the Divine Wind Marquis Feng Yuntian as their head, they could only be described as aloof.

Beneath the Four Great Families were large families like the Jing Family and Xiong Family all over the place. If any one of those families wanted to, they could instantly kill the strongest family in South Sky City.

This was the strength of the main city!

This was the depth of the main city!

How could the main city create this many experts and this many large families? It was all because Central State was the area with the highest concentration of spiritual energy in the entire state. There were countless heaven and earth treasures and precious crystal mines!

Out of the entire Southern Summer Country.

The amount of resources in Central State Main City ranked in the top ten list of the country!

Chu Tian had already reached the Awakened Soul Realm and South Sky City could no longer support his growth. In a place where even level one Elixirs were hard to find, how could he possibly reach a higher level?

Whether it was for Miracle Commerce or himself, Chu Tian had no choice but to leave and he had to leave as soon as possible.

Chu Tian told the Meng Qingwu sisters his plan.

They had already reached an agreement on this matter, so the two of them had no objections.

Chu Tian said to the two of them, "We have offended many people in the main city, so our journey this time must not be too public. We need to secretly sneak in, otherwise we'll face a lot of trouble."

"You do have some self awareness!" Meng Yingying said in an exasperated tone, "You've offended three of the Great Families. If we go and develop in their territory, would they even give us any face? They'll make it very difficult for us!"

"So I've decided to go alone first."

"Ah!" Meng Yingying's eyes popped out, "You want to go in alone?"

Chu Tian nodded and said, "Miracle Commerce is at the peak of its development and the young miss already has so much work to do everyday, she can't just leave now. As for you, you should stay and help your sister. If you have nothing better to do, then you can go study a bit."

The situation was truly like this.

Meng Qingwu was too busy to leave.

The Miracle Commerce Store had just been established and it was a very long and complicated project, Meng Qingwu could only relax if she personally took charge. As for the matter of security, Chu Tian had the ability to infiltrate the main city alone, but if he brought along the Meng Qingwu sisters, he would definitely be noticed by the large families. It would be hard to imagine how much trouble would be caused by this.

Meng Yingying had a discouraged expression.

Her elder sister couldn't go because her elder sister was very skillful, Miracle Commerce couldn't be without her.

As for why Yingying couldn't go, it was because she would be of no help if she went and would actually make it more dangerous for Chu Tian.

Although it was a little depressing, Meng Yingying had to accept that this was the truth!

"Half a month!" Chu Tian gave a rough estimate, "Give me half a month and I'll increase Miracle Commerce's reputation in Central State. At that time, it wouldn't be late for you to come over!"

Chu Tian decided to use his old trick and disguise himself as he entered the city, then he would contact the secret organization Nangong Yun had been building inside the city. Once the time was right, he would expose his own identity and use that opportunity to establish a firm hold for Miracle Commerce in the main city.

In order to keep this a secret.

Chu Tian did not even bring the eighteen corpse soldiers!

The eighteen corpse soldiers could resist a 4th Layer Awakened Soul Expert, but if he brought the corpse soldiers along, it would expose his identity. That would go against his intentions!

Meng Yingying's large eyes filled with anxiety, "Will it be alright for you to go to the main city alone?"

Chu Tian waved his hand indifferently, "What are you worried about? Are you still doubting my skills? There is no one in this world that can cope with me! Just relax in South Sky City and practice your martial arts, leave everything in the main city to me! But don't loaf around. If you don't increase your cultivation base and Immortal Body within two weeks, I'll slap your butt!"

Meng Yingying's face turned red and she indignantly said, "You just relax! I'll definitely surpass you!"

Meng Qingwu wrinkled her dark brows and thought for a few minutes. This truly was the best course of action. Miracle Commerce was at its busiest period right now, none of the Central State Families would think that Chu Tian would go to the main city at a time like this.

She nodded and said, "If you need anything, I'll prepare it for you!"

Chu Tian replied, "The Central State is different from South Sky City, the families there have a lot of influence. If I bring existing South Sky City technologies like the electrical lamps and source energy pots over to Central State, it will be immediately discovered. So to keep our identities hidden, we can only take out something new."

Meng Qingwu blurted out, "We'll make the electromagnetic towers and the radios!"

"That's right, that is one of my plans!" Chu Tian paused and then continued, "Miracle Commerce should not ship out large quantities of materials so we can avoid the vigilance of the Central State powers. Since the Hidden Sound Mine used to belong to Tianchen Commerce, they should have a large amount of Hidden Sound Stones. I'll just need to bring five million gold coins with me!"

Directly bringing money.

Buying whatever was needed.

This would reduce all association with Miracle Commerce and would be the safest option!

Meng Qingwu collected the money as fast as possible and she gathered seven million gold coins in gold coin cards. Each card was worth ten thousand gold coins and there were seventy cards in total.

Chu Tian changed himself into the plain youth Lu Ren. He dressed up just like a rogue cultivator and put the large sum of money into a cloth package. He was prepared to leave on the same day.

"You have to be careful!"

"Elder sister and I will be leaving in half a month!"

Meng Yingying sent Chu Tian off, her face was filled with worry.

"Relax, when have I ever disappointed you?" Chu Tian pinched her nose and gave a few laughs, "I'll be leaving now. I'll see you guys in half a month!"

Meng Yingying watched Chu Tian's back as he left, then she chased him to the main door and said, "You be careful over there! I'll definitely practice and study hard!"

This little girl!

Leaving South Sky City to Meng Qingwu.

Chu Tian was not worried at all.

Nangong Yi, Xiong Tianyan, Zhang Liqing, and Xiong Bing were all people that were supporting the Miracle Commerce Store. Also, Meng Qingwu's abilities were not bad. She had been studying with Chu Tian these past few days and she could already be half considered his student.

Because of the Heavenly Book Source Spirit, Meng Qingwu's learning abilities were much higher than normal people's. Although she didn't study for a long time, she still grasped all the concepts for the major inventions. Even if Chu Tian was not present, Meng Qingwu could still offer technical support.

Just like this.

Chu Tian bought a fine horse and rode off in the direction of the main city.

On the way, Chu Tian thought about a lot of things. Since he had arrived in this era and met Meng Yingying, the young miss, and Nangong Yun, he had completely embedded himself into a life here.

And now!

Miracle Commerce was already a success!

Chu Tian showed an appearance like nothing mattered. He let Meng Qingwu and Meng Yingying feel like the company was just a tool for him to earn money to support his cultivation and that it was just like a dispensable toy for him.

But, Chu Tian was actually happier than anyone else.

This was a very good beginning!

Chu Tian believed that with this trend, Miracle Commerce would definitely explode in the next several years. It would become a giant corporation that would be able to seize the resources of the continent.

Once Chu Tian had enough resources, a good foundation, and lots of inventions, he could finally begin to pursue his true dream and goal!

Breaking the shackles of life and death!

Exploring beyond the domain of the living!

Breaking through the shackles of space and time and explore a whole new world!

There were many things that Chu Tian wanted to do. He didn't have the chance to accomplish them in his past life, but now there was hope. Chu Tian would keep charging forward toward his dreams!

South Sky City was a thousand kilometers away from the main city.

Even if Chu Tian had a fine demon beast mount, it would still take him at least two days to get there.

The main city had a superior area.

To the east was a never ending mountain range, with a lush forest continuing on end. There were many strange animals and rare treasures there. There were intensive mining, logging, and hunting businesses developing nearby.

To the south was an endless prairie. The land was fertile and there were rich resources. There were thousands of cattle that covered the land. There were countless spirit medicine farms that were evenly distributed.

To the north was a vast lake. On the vast expanse of water, thousands of boats went by. There was large quantities of merchandise on the docks and thousands of workers unloading everything.

In the centre of the prairie, lake, and mountain, there stood the main city. A city that was built from fine white rocks that looked just like a white fortress, with a four sided wall surrounding the city. The walls were tall, thick, and majestic, just like a giant figure, yet it gave off an artistic feeling.

This was the Central State main city!

The spiritual energy was very abundant. It was very easy to travel to and was very prosperous!

Chu Tian could clearly see that there were many ancient runes around Central State City. Even from within the city, he could feel an ancient aura seeping out.

There was an ancient and natural array that absorbed all the spiritual energy in the surrounding several hundred li are and collected it all in Central State City. Chu Tian had never seen this kind of array before. From its style, it didn't seem like it had been made by humans. It was very likely it was made by an ancient race.

If he hadn't guessed incorrectly, Central State City should be a city established on ancient ruins.

Central State City itself was hiding a very profound secret.

It was a secret dating back to the ancient era!

No wonder it could be this prosperous!

Chapter 123: Heavenly Sword Young Master

Chu Tian looked like a worn-out traveller as he entered into the city. Central State City was several times larger compared to South Sky City. Each street was made up of a small and large road, one was for beast carriages and the other was for people to walk on. There were beast carriages passing through the street and there wasn't really that many people out.

"Central State City is truly outstanding!"

Chu Tian looked all around himself. On the streets of Central State City there were many shop and martial art schools. The streets were filled with cultivators, each one wearing particular clothing.

Every person was from a different family, so the colour of their clothing, their family crests, and banners were all very clear and eye catching. It was very easy to distinguish which family or large power each person came from.

Chu Tian was dressed like a rogue cultivator and these people were usually ignored by everyone.

If he didn't represent a power, then that meant he was not useful.

What prospects could a rogue cultivator have?

Chu Tian did not care about the glances he got from the people around him, he just continued to aimlessly walk down the streets, appreciating the beauty of Central State City.

Central State City had a school known all across the state, "Central State Academy". There were over ten thousand students and it could be called a middle sized school. Because of this, Central State City did not just seem like a commercial area and contained a strong academic atmosphere. Wherever one went, there would be schools or museums.

Thinking of Central State Academy.

Chu Tian thought of Nangong Yun.

She had been here for quite a while, she should have embedded herself into the city quite well!

It wasn't as if Chu Tian had not thought about going to Central State Academy to find Nangong Yun, only, the Central State Academy's campus was just too big, Chu Tian did not know where to look. If he openly asked questions, there was a chance that he might expose his identity.

So he might as well wait first!

It wasn't as if he was in a hurry!

While Chu Tian was walking on the street, there were a few roars that rang out behind him. There were eight soldiers riding eight giant tigers that were violently walking forward. They were pushing aside other beast carriages and using their whips to chase away lower class citizens as they cleared the area.

"Move out of the way!"

"Everyone move out of the way!"

"The Heavenly Sword Young Master's carriage is coming, everyone else move out of the way!"

The crude way the soldiers acted made everyone unsatisfied, but once they heard that it was the Heavenly Sword Young Master, they all quickly moved out of the way. No one dared to complain at all.

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and thought out loud, "Heavenly Sword Young Master? It's that Chu Xinghe! This fellow is truly too overbearing!"

The little fox also nodded, actually agreeing with its master for once.

"What does a brat like you understand!"

"What kind of person is the Heavenly Sword Young Master?"

"He's the number one talent in all of Central State!"

"He is the pride and honour of our Central State City! Don't speak any nonsense or else you might not even get to keep your little life!"

Several pedestrians all had ugly faces as they reproved Chu Tian, it was as if insulting the Heavenly Sword Young Master was like insulting Central State City. This made Chu Tian very uncomfortable. What does Chu Xinghe count for, how could he represent the entire city?

Right at this moment.

"Jia! Jia! Jia!"

Three rows of silver robed Chu Family swordsman came forward, each one of them was wearing the same uniform. They were all riding the same jade green dragon scaled horse. This was a very strong battle horse, with a height of two meters and a strong rock hard body, they could travel ten thousand li in a single day. Moreover, each one had a cultivation at the 9th Body Refinement Layer.

Three rows of soldiers, each platoon had eight people, in total there were twenty four of them.

Each one had an incredibly strong aura.

A person in the crowd cried out in shock, "Twenty four Heavenly Sword Guards! Each one of them has a cultivation at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer and they all practice the ancient sword art given to them by the Heavenly Sword Young Master. They follow the Heavenly Sword Young Master around all year and sweep away all obstacles around him. They are the most loyal guards of the Heavenly Sword Young Master and the strongest guards of the Chu Family!"

"Is this the power and influence of the Heavenly Sword Young Master?"

"He truly deserves the title of Heavenly Sword Young Master!"

Several rogue cultivators were shocked by this. Every one of the guards was at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer and there were twenty four of them. Each one of them had a strong aura making it clear that they practiced a special cultivation technique which meant that they were much stronger compared to normal 2nd Layer Awakened Soul Cultivators.

The Heavenly Sword Young Master was truly terrifying!

Behind the twenty four Heavenly Sword Guards, there was another row of magnificent honour guards. They rode atop magnificent white jade horses that were a full three feet taller than normal horses. There was a soldier holding a golden axe that was sitting atop a giant white jade horse. They were all surrounding a beast carriage, slowly walking forward.

What kind of beast carriage is that?

It was completely golden and emitted a bright glow. The moment it appeared, the crowd felt a strong tremor inside their brains. It was as if they were watching an ancient god slowly appearing from the horizon. That dignified and overbearing aura was like a king surveying over his kingdom. That endless pressure was like a giant wave that made everyone here feel tiny.

"Ao! Ao!"

The golden beast carriage was being drawn by two giant beings. They had the legs of tigers, but the body of a flood dragon. It was majestic and dignified with an overwhelming aura that made it hard for people to look at.

Tiger Dragon!

It was an extinct ancient Tiger Dragon!

The rogue cultivators that saw the insignia of the Heavenly Sword Young Master were all excited as the quickly bowed their heads in obeisance. The Tiger Dragon was a kind of extinct ancient species that had dragon blood flowing in their veins, giving it a terrifying strength. Just these two Tiger Dragon's pulling the cart were already in the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer and they still had a lot of room to grow.

The moment the Tiger Dragon Golden Carriage appeared, the air seemed to condense. Everyone felt a kind of pain in their bodies, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on their shoulders.

"We greet the Heavenly Sword Young Master!"

"We greet the Heavenly Sword Young Master!"

Under this heave pressure, the crowd could not help kneeling down. This scene was just like a king walking down the streets.

Chu Tian could feel the aura coming from this Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage and his brows knit together. Whether it was the aura coming from the golden carriage or these two Tiger Dragons, they were not things that should exist in Central State.

There was only one possibility!

Chu Xinghe should have obtained an ancient inheritance and these things should have come from that inheritance....Chu Tian never thought that he would have this kind of destiny. This person would be hard to deal with.

There were two guards standing beside the Tiger Dragon Golden Carriage, one was a scholarly man and the other was an one eyed bulky man. That scholarly man was the Life Snatching Scholar, Chu Tongwen that Chu Tian had defeated.

Everyone in the crowd knelt down in front of the Heavenly Sword Young Master's aura.

Chu Tian was the only person left standing which made him very conspicuous. Chu Tongwen's eyes looked over and the minute he saw him, his face fell, "It's him!"

Wasn't this that Lu Ren he met before?

Only how did he become younger after just a few days!

A cold and proud voice came from inside the golden carriage, "This brat can actually block my pressure and not kneel down, he seems to be someone with a bit of skills. Sir Tongwen, do you know him?"

Chu Tongwen hesitated for a few seconds and then he hid the truth because of his reputation, "He's offended me before, so there is no friendship between us."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" The one eyed large man suddenly began to laugh, "Since he's offended old brother Tongwen, how could we let him remain living in Central State City? Let I, Chu Batian take his little life for old brother Tongwen!"

Chu Tongwen's expression changed, but even if he wanted to stop him, it was already too late.

The one eyed large man suddenly stepped off and disappeared from the golden carriage. He appeared right in front of Chu Tian and a large rune appeared on his right fist. He wildly laughed and said, "Little brat, your luck is not very good. Die for me!"

Without any reason.

Without any fear.

Only because he saw that Chu Tian didn't bow down to the Heavenly Sword Young Master's carriage, the one eyed large man decided to make a move and take Chu Tian's life.

This fist was like a giant mountain pressing down.

The one eyed large man did not care if the innocent people on the side lived or died.

Chu Tian's expression slightly changed. The one eyed large man's cultivation was in the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer, so it wasn't easy for Chu Tian to deal with him. He could only activated the Starlight Immortal Body to its maximum strength and block this one attack. The terrifying power sent Chu Tian flying back several feet and the people surrounding him all suffered internal injuries and spat out blood.

Chu Tian's starlight gaze was broken and shattered on the spot.

This fellow had a very strong attack strength!

And he shouldn't have used his full power!

Chu Batian revealed a surprised expression, "A trivial 1st Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator could actually block 50% of my strength. But you won't be lucky with this next fist."

"Batian, come back!"

Chu Batian was prepared to send out another attack that would destroy the opponent with his barrier, but a voice rang out from the Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage. Chu Batian was a little stunned, but he could only turn around and go back.

The Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage slowly went forward. When it arrived in front of Chu Tian, a voice came from within, "Young man, your talent is not bad, it would be a pity for you to die here. If you pledge your loyalty to me and become a part of my retinue, I'll personally guide your cultivation."

Becoming a part of your retinue?

Personally guiding my cultivation?

Chu Tian had lived two lifetimes.

This was the first time someone had said they wanted to guide his cultivation.

Chu Tian coldly smiled and said word for word, "Father, does, not, care!"

Silence!

There was pure silence!

The faces of everyone in crowd turned pale. The Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe was personally recruiting someone and would even personally guide his cultivation, what kind of honour was this? Chu Xinghe as the only person in Central State City with the potential of becoming a marquis in the future, countless Awakened Soul Cultivators wished to follow him.

This nameless youth, this nameless rogue cultivator had actually disdainfully rejected the Heavenly Sword Young master's invitation in front of all these people.

This was slapping the Heavenly Sword Young Master's face!

Naturally.

A terrifying aura erupted from within the Tiger Dragon Gold Carriage and completely filled the entire area. It was enough to make everyone in the area feel as if they were suffocating. The voice then contained a frighteningly cold tone, "That is clearly the most stupid choice, so why?"

Chu Tian faced this mountain like pressure yet he still stood straight, "Your excellency has no virtues, I disdain being your subordinate. My will is strong, I will not back down!"

Your excellency has no virtues, I disdain being your subordinate!

My will is strong, I will not back down!

These words were like golden bricks, heavily slamming into the ground. It firmly shattered the floor and sent out an earth shattering explosion!

The several thousand citizens and soldiers stared on in astonishment.

What kind of person would have this kind of spirit? Even when facing a person like the Heavenly Sword Young Master, this young man was still now willing to let go of his dignity?

Did he even consider the consequences of his actions!

Was his dignity more important than his life?

Chapter 124: Causing a stir in Central State

Chu Tongwen and Chu Batian both had faces of shock.

The two of them were not members of the Chu Family and were both just people with outstanding talents.

Perhaps it was because they dreaded the Heavenly Sword Young Master's strength, or were enamoured by the Heavenly Sword Young Master's prestige, or they just chose to stick to this large tree, they had chosen to serve him. Eventually they had abandoned their last names and had become the Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe's subordinates.

The Heavenly Sword Young Master had peerless elegance, there was no one in the Central State that could even look at his back. No matter who saw him, they would all feel inferior to him.

There was actually such a self confident person!

There was someone with this kind of proud spirit!

He could actually resist the Heavenly Sword Young Master's glory!

They were both Heavenly Sword Young Master's people and Chu Tongwen had even fought against Chu Tian, but in this moment, they couldn't help holding this young man in high esteem. They even had a trace of admiration for him.

Because the things that they could not do, this young man could!

However, he was only so-so.

The tallest trees will be cut down by the wind!

[TL Note: those that stand out will be cut down]

After today, this young man would disappear from this world. No matter how outstanding he was, it would be useless!

Chu Xinghe's voice was very calm. Just like a king talking to a citizen, his voice was filled with irresistible dignity, "Those of Central State know what happens if they offend this young master. Since you're this self confident, this young master will give you a chance."

These words were like a reward.

"One slash. I will only send out a single slash while suppressing my cultivation base to the same level as you." The Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe's voice was clear and mysterious. It was almost as if it could stop the wind and rain, "If you can take my sword and not die, you have the qualification to continue living. Otherwise, you will no longer exist on this earth."

Once the crowd heard this.

Everyone began to pity the young man.

Because by the time the Heavenly Sword Young Master said this sentence, this young man was already considered a dead man.

The Heavenly Sword Young Master had a very resounding reputation which was…..One Slash Life Stealing Chu Xinghe!

It's said that no one at the same realm and level could block a single slash from him, even the other three young masters were not exceptions. How strong the Heavenly Sword Young Master was, it was hard to imagine!

Even prestigious characters like Chu Tongwen and Chu Batian, both became Chu Xinghe's subordinate after being defeated with a single slash. They were willing to devote their lives to him after being defeated!

This one slash was the invitation of the King of Hell.

The corners of Chu Tian's mouth pulled back into a smile, "You seem quite confident in killing me with just a single slash, then I'll play along with you. Not to mention one slash, how about you do two or even three slashes?"

The people of Central State city were speechless.

This really was a fearless little brat. He was already this close to dying, yet he still dared to argue back? Even if the Heavenly Sword Young Master suppressed his cultivation to the 1st Awakened Soul Layer, with a full powered slash, it was enough for him to kill someone at the 3rd Awakened Soul Layer. His strength already surpassed common sense!

Chu Xinghe's voice coldly rang out, "Are you prepared?"

Chu Tian revealed a smile, "What is there to prepare for? Come already!"

In an instant.

The air began to surge forward as a strong aura caused it to condense, this aura was incredibly strong. Not to mention a 1st Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator fighting against it, just facing this terrifying pressure, they would be locked in place, losing their ability to fight.

At this moment, golden spirit energy shot up into the sky. A fierce four clawed flood dragon's hand appeared.

The flood dragon was covered in golden scales and each scale had a rune engraved on top of it that was filled with overwhelming might. Once it circled around the golden carriage several times, it suddenly...

"Soul Sword Secret Art!"

From the golden carriage, a strong and mature voice rang out. At the same time, a golden sword shot into the sky with the flood dragon following close behind. It then moved closer and quickly fused with the sword.

The glow that was emitted was just like the sun shining on the earth!

It had appeared.

The Golden Flood Dragon Sword!

The legendary source spirit of the Heavenly Sword Young Master. The strongest sword source spirit to appear in the Chu Family in several hundred years. This Golden Flood Dragon Sword not only held an unsurpassable might, it also contained the power of the flood dragon. Once the sword approached, it could not be stopped!

"Heaven Cutting Art!"

This was the strongest move of the Chu Family's «Soul Sword Secret Art»!

Chu Xinghe was much stronger than people imagined. Perhaps his mastery of the «Soul Sword Secret Art» was already in the Large Success Realm, or even in the Perfection Realm!

Once the Heaven Cutting Art was released, the Golden Flood Dragon Sword began to fill with a heaven splitting power and it condensed to its peak power instantly. A deep sword mark was left on the street and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Chu Tian.

Up, down, left, or right.

Every direction was completely blocked.

It was impossible for Chu Tian to dodge this one slash!

Chu Tian's body was covered in the starlight glaze and he pulled out the Netherworld Sword from behind him. On the ice like blade of the sword, large runes began to appear and a blue and white flame covered the sword.

With the Starlight Glass Body covering his body!

And the Netherworld Flame Sword in hand!

Chu Tian had no plans of dodging. Even when facing this kind of strong pressure, he moved forward one step at a time. He brandished his flaming long sword and sent out a heavy attack forward!

Peng!

The Netherworld Sword had the effect of absorbing energy and the Netherworld Flame had the effect of breaking down energy, with these two combined, it could effectively weaken the enemy's attack. However, Chu Xinghe's slash was too strong. The strength erupted forth and completely surpassed the tolerable range.

Countless sword qi sprayed forward, turning into ten thousand tiny needles. The violent storm of sword qi fell on Chu Tian's body and the strong Starlight Glass Body was instantly torn apart, shattering into pieces.

Chu Tian gave a loud roar.

Spirit energy continued to pour out of his body as he forced the Netherworld Sword forward to break through the Golden Flood Dragon Sword's power. He stimulated the Starlight Immortal Body to its limit and used it to defend against the terrifying power of this one slash.

"Scram for father!"

Chu Tian wildly brandished the Netherworld Sword and the slash from the Golden Flood Dragon Sword was sent flying. It soared in the air and then flew back towards the golden carriage.

Chu Tian supported himself up with his sword. His breathing became erratic and his clothes had been ripped apart. There were at least a few hundred small wounds that covered his bloodied body.

But still.

He was still standing. He did not fall.

Even if he was seriously injured, he still had to break through Chu Xinghe's attack.

Everyone was shocked, this young man had really blocked Chu Xinghe's attack. He did not even take half a step back, he just continued to stand there.

The legend that the Heavenly Sword Young Master's sword killed with a single slash.

It had been broken by this common youth!

This was more than enough to create a large stir throughout Central State!

Chu Tian scratched the blood at the corners of his lip, then he began to loudly laugh, "Heavenly Sword Young Master Chu Xinghe? Even with a Large Success Cultivation Technique he is only so-so! What is there for you to be wild about! What qualification do you have for me to be your servant!"

Chu Batian flew into a rage, "I'll kill him now!"

"Forget it!" Chu Xinghe's voice sounded from the golden carriage, "This young master will keep his word. Since you could block one of my attacks, I'll spare your little life today. This young master has had no peers for a while, I do need a few suitable rivals. You have a lot of potential, if you die now, it would be too much of a waste. Wait until you've grow bit, then come and fight me. I'll kill you head on when the time comes."

Chu Batian stared at Chu Tian and said, "Brat, consider yourself lucky!"

Chu Xinghe said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

The Heavenly Sword Young Master's team went into the distance.

Everyone in the crowd was slowly gasping for breath. On the faces of every person present, there was a look of shock. The matters that happened here today, it would spread across Central State in just two-three days.

Chu Tian turned around to enter the crowd.

"Flickering Netherworld Flames!"

He couldn't stay here any longer, so Chu Tian instantly released his sword art. He quickly entered the Netherworld and disappeared from the crowd.

A nameless young man had blocked a slash from the Heavenly Sword Young Master!

The killing with a single slash legend had been broken!

Everyone began to gossip about this.

"Where did this young man come from? He could actually block an attack from the Heavenly Sword Young Master!"

"No, no, no! It wasn't as simple as blocking it!"

"The Heavenly Sword Young Master had suppressed his cultivation to the same level, but the Heavenly Sword Young Master's cultivation technique had already reached the Large Success Realm. This young man should be in the Small Success Realm, how could you compare the two?"

Hearing this one sentence.

Everyone was shocked.

Even with the same level cultivation, the Heavenly Sword Young Master had the advantage in terms of cultivation technique boundary. The «Soul Sword Secret Art» was the strongest attack cultivation technique in all of Central State and the Heavenly Sword Young Master had reached the Large Success realm, how could the two even be compared?"

"You guys don't understand anything!"

"The Heavenly Sword Young Master was looking down on his opponent, otherwise this little brat would have already died several times!"

"The Heavenly Sword Young Master is a member of the Chu Family and he obtained an ancient sword inheritance. His truly powerful cultivation technique isn't the «Soul Sword Secret Art», rather it's the sword art he inherited. The Heavenly Sword Young Master did not use his unique skill, so that means he didn't use his full strength!"

"And yet, this casual sword slash was enough to inflict heavy injuries. The difference in strength can be clearly seen!"

The people who worshiped the Heavenly Sword Young Master immediately began to argue.

But these people were very reasonable. The Heavenly Sword Young Master was not just a normal successor to the Chu Family, he was also someone who had received an ancient sword inheritance. There was no one that knew his true strength.

"Wrong! You're all wrong!"

"Throughout the entire fight, you missed the most important point!"

"The Heavenly Sword Young Master had released his source spirit, but that young man? Throughout the entire fight...He did not release his source spirit once!"

Hearing this!

Everyone was stunned into silence.

That's right, the young man had not released his source spirit!

When thinking of the details again, everyone was scared to the point of peeing their pants. A person that had not released his source spirit had actually blocked such a strong attack from the Heavenly Sword Young Master?

How was this possible!

Between a cultivator that used his source spirit and one who didn't, there was a clear difference in strength. The one with the source spirit released was much stronger since it amplified his strength by several times. Even if the source spirit of the young man was only at a medium level, it would still have increased his strength by quite a bit.

If it was like this, he would not have been injured and would have completely blocked the Heavenly Sword Young Master's attack!

Why!

Why did he not use his source spirit!

Everyone had a hard time accepting this harsh reality. This was simply a heaven defying youth! Who was he, and where did he come from?

In Central State City, everyone started to ask around.

However, within Central State City, there was no information about this youth and no one knew who he was. Since confronting the Heavenly Sword Young Master, this miraculous youth had completely disappeared!

Chapter 125: Wanting to become stronger

Causing a stir on the first day was not something Chu Tian wanted to do. If he revealed his identity, then he would lose the initiative.

Luckily, Chu Tian had not used his source spirit.

Just based on his abilities and appearance, there was no way for anyone to find out Chu Tian's identity just yet.

Of course, in order to hide his identity, Chu Tian had also paid quite a large price!

Chu Xinghe might seem like a righteous person, but in reality, he was actually very cold and sinister!

Chu Xinghe had released the young man on the surface and had even made himself seem very generous by letting Chu Tian become stronger and challenging once again. Then the Heavenly Sword Young Master would openly defeat him in front of everyone.

But in reality, Chu Xinghe had a reason to let this young man go.

That one slash contained countless thousands of needle thin sword qi which had completely entered his enemy's body. It was powerful enough to completely destroy a person's meridian system. If he didn't die, he would at least become a cripple.

Chu Xinghe was just confident in his own method.

He believed that the young man would become a cripple.

That's why he left so benevolently!

But Chu Xinghe had made a mistake.

Chu Tian's «Netherworld Flame Sword» defended his body and counteracted most of the energy within. The strong defensive powers of the Starlight Immortal Body blocked the rest of the energy and there was now not even a sliver of sword qi left!

Chu Tian had tempered his meridians for a long time with the starlight energy, so his veins were now very resistant and had a strong recovery ability. Even if it was a little damaged, it was unlikely for it to be completely destroyed.

But it had to be said.

He truly did have skills!

Even if Chu Tian had hid his source spirit, had Chu Xinghe used his full strength?

With Chu Tian's current strength, even if he went all out, the odds would still be very low. Moreover, this was at the same cultivation level, but Chu Xinghe's cultivation was already at the peak 4th Awakened Soul Layer!

Chu Family?

Chu Xinghe?

You just wait for me!

Even if it wasn't for your grudge with the original owner of this body.

Just based on what you did to me today, I would have to vent my anger!

Chu Tian was not a small minded person, but he was not someone who suffered losses. He forgave people depending on the situation. Being beaten like this by Chu Xinghe today was a kind of insult to Chu Tian.

So, sooner or later he would have to get this back and he would have to fiercely shame the Chu Family. He would accomplish this as long as he got the chance.

Chu Tian understood that with the current disparity in strength, he could only patiently wait for his opportunity. Once his power and influence grew, he would have the opportunity to collect everything back!

"Let's go. We'll go to the Central State Market to have a look. I want to see if there is anything useful there."

Chu Tian changed into some clean clothes and he put on a bamboo hat to cover his head. He placed the little fox into his clothes and left the inn that he was recovering in.

Chu Tian was currently weaker than Chu Xinghe.

The main reason was the difference in their cultivation technique insights.

The «Starlight Immortal Body» was profound and strong, but Chu Tian was only using it to help refine his body. As he became stronger, he would have to replace it with a stronger cultivation technique.

The «Netherworld Flame Sword» was the same. Chu Tian was currently restricted and couldn't find high grade cultivation resources, so he couldn't practice high grade cultivation techniques. But the «Netherworld Flame Sword» had defensive and offensive abilities, so it was the most suitable cultivation technique for Chu Tian right now.

However, his boundary was too low!

Chu Tian urgently needed cultivation resources to increase his cultivation technique boundary!

Once he increased his cultivation technique boundary, he was confident that he could fight Chu Xinghe in a situation where they were at the same cultivation level. If he was in the same boundary, Chu Tian was confident that he would be able to defeat him!

In the center area of Central State City.

There was a place called the Treasure House. It was the largest auction house in the main city.

The Treasure House was not owned by a single family, rather it was collectively owned by several large families. It had several earth and heaven treasures that were provided by major mercenary groups and large families.

Chu Tian was someone new to the city.

The Treasure House was a good place to go!

The Treasure House was shaped like an eight sided palace which seemed to be made completely of white jade, it looked very high class and dignified. There were eight entrances in total and each one was heavily guarded.

This was a place for high level items.

Which meant there weren't many items.

The cheapest thing here cost several tens of thousand of gold coins, it was hard for even Awakened Soul Cultivators to accept. When Chu Tian arrived at the centre of the Treasure House, he was shocked by the goods being shown there!

Thousand Year Dragon Blood Grass, selling price, one million five hundred thousand gold coins!

The Dragon Blood Grass itself was a level two Elixir, it only needed to grow naturally to become a level two Elixir. After this piece of Dragon Blood's Grass was appraised, it was estimated to be around two thousand five hundred and fifty years old. With a holy grade nature, it could be considered a half step holy grade medicine.

Although it wasn't a true holy medicine, it was still several times more expensive than normal Elixirs!

If this was sold for one million and two hundred thousand gold coins, it still wouldn't be considered expensive!

Chu Tian looked around while walking. There were several goods here that were worth over a million gold coins and there were many things that were useful to Chu Tian. Only the money he had was meant for something else, so unless he found something that was really useful to him, Chu Tian would not buy anything.

A noise came from the crowd in front of him.

"Move out of the way!

"Everyone move out of the way for me!"

A hundred to two hundred guards were blocking the crowd.

Five-six white robed old man were pushing a golden cart that was covered in a red cloth into the Treasure House central area. They stopped in front of a giant diamond showcase.

"Release the seal!"

The old men began chanting at the same time.

The diamond showcase opened and they put the object right in, then the pulled off the red cloth. Once the crowd saw the item underneath, everyone's eyes popped out.

It was a large black stone that had a diameter of one zhang.

[TL Note: zhang=3.33m]

It was dark like ink and it seemed to be made of volcanic glass. There was a green flame sealed inside.

"Yi?!"

"Elemental Source Stone?"

There were quite a few treasures in the Treasure House, but the moment he saw this, Chu Tian couldn't help being shocked.

In this strange and colourful world, there was a strange life form known as elemental spirits.

Elemental spirits were completely different from life forms of flesh and blood, they had bodies formed from pure energy. So, they had a different way of life, reproduction method, and habits from other life forms.

The elemental spirits did not have genders.

Therefore the way they reproduced was strange. They divided their own bodies and placed them inside safe storage vessels.

A divided part did not have its own consciousness, but after it was incubated for a long time, it would develop its own consciousness and become a new elemental spirit.

The giant stone in front of Chu Tian was one of those incubation stones for the elemental spirit clan.

It was dark attributed, so it was certain that this was the descendant of a dark elemental spirit.

These kinds of things were usually deep down in the earth, it was hard to find one on the surface. It was hard to imagine where Central State City found this kind of thing!

At this moment, the Netherworld Sword began to violently tremble.

It was clear that the pure energy in the stone was resonating with the Netherworld Sword!

Chu Tian instantly understood. The energy in this stone could nourish the Netherworld Ghost Flame and help the Netherworld Sword recover its strength. It was definitely enough to let Chu Tian's «Netherworld Flame Sword» increase another level!

This really was a good thing!

Chu Tian was a little interested, but the moment he saw the price, it was as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water on him.

Thirty five million gold coins!

Although this wasn't considered expensive for an elemental source stone like this, to the current Chu Tian, how could he possibly raise thirty five million gold coins?

Damn!

He had finally found a treasure that could increase his strength and cultivation technique's realm, but he could not buy it. This made Chu Tian very unsatisfied.

Thirty five million gold coins was not a small number.

But Chu Tian had the confidence to raise this money!

The only thing Chu Tian was worried about was that someone would buy it before he could raise the money.

"Wa!"

"Thirty five million gold coins!"

"Just for this broken stone? That's simply extortion!"

The people in the crowd began to speak up, the majority of them were all surprised and complaining. There were not a lot of people interested in the stone.

The elemental spirit source did not have a high value and people wouldn't know what to do with it if they did buy it, so most people were not interested in it. After discussing it for a while, the crowd quickly dispersed.

According to the rules, if this kind of precious thing could not be sold in a month, it would be recalled. Then it would be sold in an auction at a reduced price.

There was still a chance!

Chu Tian made his decision!

He would gather thirty five million gold coins as fast as possible and would buy this thing!

The Treasure House had many resources, but they were usually very expensive. Chu Tian realized that this kind of money did not count for anything in Central State City.

Miracle Commerce's development speed was fast.

But it wasn't fast enough!

If Chu Tian wanted to become stronger, he would need more resource and earn more money.

But at this moment, a very special product instantly attracted Chu Tian's attention. It was a jade white insect that was the size of half a palm.

Jade Spirit Silkworm!

The Jade Spirit Silkworm, it was a silkworm while alive and turned into jade after dying.

This was a precious easy to use level two Elixir!

The Jade Spirit Silkworm was an animal that ate medicinal herbs, so its body was filled with strong spiritual energy. After the Jade Spirit Silkworm died and turned into a piece of jade, the spiritual energy did not dissipate and was completely conserved. This turned it into a level two Elixir that was suitable for alchemy.

This thing could directly increase a person's cultivation.

It was quite useful to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian quickly asked, "How much is this Jade Spirit Silkworm?"

"Two hundred thousand gold coins!" A young girl sales clerk saw Chu Tian's rogue cultivator appearance and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. The she emphasized, "We do not take counteroffers for Treasure House goods!"

This was not that expensive for a level 2 Elixir!

Two hundred thousand gold coins was a large amount of money for normal cultivators, but it wasn't that much for Chu Tian.

Chu Tian pulled out a pack of gold coin cards.

Right as he was prepared to pay.

"Wait!" A voice rang out from behind him, "I want this Jade Spirit Silkworm!"

A young man treated Chu Tian like air and walked in front of the Jade Spirit Silkworm. He pointed at it and said, "Wrap it up for me! I'm in a rush!"

Once the clerk saw the other side's clothes and badge, she instantly turned over. Immediately, her attitude became very warm, "It's young master Tong! Please wait a minute! I'll prepare it for you right away!"

Chapter 126: Mechanical Insect

This was a young man with a noble aura who was followed by a small girl. That small girl seemed to be carved from jade and was around thirteen-fourteen years old. A trace of guilt seemed to flash in her eyes.

Chu Tian knit his brows, "I was clearly here first, why are you selling it to him!"

"Did you pay for it yet?" The clerk looked over at the gold coin cards in Chu Tian's hands and revealed a look of disdain, "Since you haven't paid for it yet, this doesn't count as a transaction."

"Since you say it like this, he also hasn't paid yet."

The young girl clerk impatiently said, "Young Master Tong's reputation is worth a million gold coins, can you compare to him?"

"Where did this nameless brat come from?" The young man said with a taunting expression, "Scram before I lose my patience! Why don't you look in a mirror first, you clearly look like a country bumpkin! You have no right to fight for something with me!"

The little girl quickly pulled on the young man's clothes and said in a soft voice, "Big Brother, forget about it! We're in the wrong this time!"

"What are you afraid of? It's only a rogue cultivator. Although our family is not considered a large family, it's still easy for us to take care of a single rogue cultivator. Since this person doesn't want any face and ignores right and wrong, we have no reason to give him any face!"

"You're making me lose my patience." Chu Tian laughed and said, "That is not a sane thing for you to do!"

The young man's eyebrows raised in anger as he said, "Who the fuck do you think you are? Come! Throw him out onto the streets!"

Without finishing his words.

Pa!

Chu Tian let a slap fly out.

The young man heavily landed several meters away. His face had been distorted and he spat out several teeth.

What had happened?

Even with his peak 9th Body Refinement Cultivation, he actually couldn't see how his enemy had made a move!

The young girl clerk called out in surprise, "You…..You actually dared to hit young master Tong! Someone come, someone come! There's someone causing trouble here!"

Before the Treasure House guards came over.

Chu Tian walked forward a few steps, who knew what he was planning to do.

"You're not allowed to hurt my big brother!"

The little girl pulled out a few large block of wood from her pocket. What was surprising was the fact that the blocks of wood began to change shape and turned into wooden bees. The structure of each bee was very detailed and each one had a strong crystal stone embedded in them.

Once these wooden bees detonated, it would have a strong explosive force.

Chu Tian stood there without moving, letting the wooden bees surround him. Chu Tian looked at the little girl with a calm face, "Do you want to fight me?"

"I, I..."

The little girl's face turned red and her voice became faster. Although she seemed like she was carved from jade, she was actually a very introverted person. She didn't like to speak and even stuttered a bit.

"I'm sorry...Big brother only wanted to...help me cure my illness!"

The young man covered his face as he stood up and he looked at Chu Tian with a gaze filled with hate, "You think you're that great since you're in the Awakened Soul Realm? There are tons of people just like you in Central State City! Wanting to steal something from my Tong Family, I think you're just tired of living! Xiaoyu, blow him up!"

The little girl looked down, "Forget it, we'll give this medicine to you!"

The wooden bees all returned to the cloth sack.

The little girl held the cloth sack while turning around, "Big Brother, let's go!"

The young man angrily said, "What are you doing? We're buying this to cure your illness!"

The little girl shook her head and said, "We came late…..Stealing from others is not right!"

"Wait!" Chu Tian suddenly asked, "Did you make these Mechanical Insects?"

The little girl was a little shy, but the moment Mechanical Insects was mentioned, her eyes began to light up, "Yes, it's made by Xiaoyu, but it isn't well made….."

This stuttering little girl seemed to have talents with mechanics.

Chu Tian's heart skipped a beat as he said, "What is your name?"

The guards began to encircle him.

The girl clerk pointed at Chu Tian and said, "He's the one causing trouble!"

The guards angrily said, "Daring to cause trouble in our Treasure House, little brat, you're seeking death! Scram for me right now! Otherwise I'll give you something to look at!"

Chu Tian ignored these violent fellow and he sized up the little girl as he said, "I can clearly see that you do not have any illnesses, only a special physique. Am I right?"

"I am called...Tong Xiayu." The little girl asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I can cure it for you!"

Tong Xiaoyu large eyes revealed a look of disbelief, "Really?"

"Xiaoyu, you can't believe him!" The young man quickly pulled the little girl behind him and he looked at Chu Tian with a cautious gaze, "This is a person of unknown origins, who knows what he's planning!"

Chu Tian lightly said, "The choice is in your hands. You want this Jade Spirit Silkworm because of its energy absorbing ability which can extract the dark energy inside Tong Xiaoyu's body, right? This will not work at all and will only alleviate the pain that she feels!"

The young man revealed a doubtful expression, "Can you really heal her?"

Chu Tian spread his hands, "How do you know without letting me try first?"

"Alright, then give it a try!" From this youth's appearance, he should be a rogue cultivator that just came to the city. In the worst case scenario, he would just fail with his treatment, "If you can cure Xiaoyu, we'll consider this whole thing settled. If you can't cure her, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Big brother!"

Tong Xiaoyu voiced her complaint.

The young man immediately left the Treasure House, "Humph, let's go!"

This fellow may seem like a playboy, but he was still very clear headed. He knew that the person who slapped him had the possibility of curing his little sister, so he suppressed the anger and humiliation he felt and forced himself to be rational.

...…..

Tong Family mansion.

Several dignified people were sitting in the main hall.

Tong Yue's fierce gaze swept across the people in front of him. His eyes demonstrated a displeased look, "Tong Ming, Tong Xiaoyu, why did you bring an outsider here? What kind of people are allowed to enter the Tong Family mansion? Do you still know the rules!"

The young man Tong Ming quickly said, "Uncle, we met him in the Treasure House. He said he could cure little sister's illness, so we brought him here to let him have a try!"

"Nonsense!"

A teacup shattered on the ground.

Once Tong Yue stood up, a strong aura was released. It was strength at the peak 1st Awakened Soul Layer, but it was enough to make it hard for Tong Ming and Tong Xiaoyu to breathe, "All the masters that we've invited were unable to come up with a method and now you think some random person off the street can compare to those masters? Do you even have a brain!"

Tong Ming lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.

Although the Tong Family's head was Tong Ming's father, Tong Yue had a higher rank and more prestige than him in his family, so he did not dare talk back as a junior.

Tong Yue coldly said, "Tong Xiaoyu will be married in half a month. You should be clear just how important this marriage is to our Tong Family. The reason why all the other families are giving our family face is because of this marriage. Don't cause trouble for us at this time!"

Tong Ming helplessly said, "Yes!"

"Throw that person out for me!"

Chu Tian gave a cold laugh, "What kind of thing are you trying to make me leave like this?"

Tong Yue saw that Chu Tian had actually contradicted him and flew into a rage, "Trivial little outsider, daring to cause trouble in the Tong Family! Someone come! Break his legs for me!"

A Tong Family guard charged forward.

"Alright, let's see if you have the skills to accomplish this!"

Chu Tian stretched out a hand and prepared to pull out the Netherworld Sword.

"Why is it so noisy here?" A gently voice came from outside the door and a scholarly middle aged man walked in, "Big brother, why are you so angry?"

Tong Ming and Tong Xiaoyu showed a happy expression and shouted at the same time, "Father!"

"Bowen, you've come right one time!" Tong Yue coldly said, "A swindler has come to our Tong manor and is claiming he can cure Xiaoyu's illness, but is just here to cheat us. How do you think we should deal with this?"

Tong Bowen revealed a shocked expression, "What? Cure Xiaoyu's illness! Can you really cure Xiaoyu?"

Chu Tian nodded, "It's not hard!"

Tong Yue wanted to say something, but Tong Bowen quickly said, "Then let him have a try!"

"You..."

"We have nothing to lose from this anyway."

Tong Yue gave a snort, "Alright, little brat, we'll let you give it a try!"

Chu Tian looked at the two of them with a bewildered expression. Who was the head of the Tong Family here?

Of course, Chu Tian did not care about this at all. Chu Tian was only interested in Tong Xiaoyu's talent in mechanics, so he wanted to nurture her.

"Little fox, come out!"

A fist sized snow white little fox lazily came out from his clothes. It sat on Chu Tian's shoulder and gave a yawn with its little claw.

"Go!"

The little fox knew what Chu Tian wanted so it jumped onto Tong Xiaoyu's body. Its claws grabbed onto her neck and it suddenly inhaled sharply.

Something unbelievable happened!

Countless traces of dark energy began to seep out from Tong Xiaoyu's pores. The dark attributed energy condensed and entered the little fox's stomach.

It licked its lips with its red tongue as if it was very satisfied. Then it jumped back onto Chu Tian's shoulder.

Tong Xiaoyu revealed an expression of pleasant surprise, "I feel like I'm completely cured!"

Chu Tian shook his head and said, "There has been an accumulation of dark energy in your meridians. It has been taken care of, but because of your special physique, after a while, you'll continue to accumulate even more dark energy. So, you'll need to follow me for a while until it can be permanently controlled."

Once Tong Yue heard this, he flew into a rage, "How could you do that! Xiaoyu will be married in just half a month!"

Chu Tian pondered, "Getting married at such a young age?"

Tong Xiaoyu lowered her head and did not say anything. This arranged marriage was set up by her family, but she did not like it.

"Tong Xiaoyu cannot go with you!" Tong Yue's eyes fell onto the little fox licking its claws on Chu Tian's shoulder and his eyes revealed a look of greed. A little beast that could actually absorb the accumulated dark energy was definitely a priceless treasure, "Since that little beast can cure Xiaoyu's symptoms, then you can just leave it here!"

Chu Tian's eyes revealed a cold look, "I helped you free of charge and instead of showing gratitude, you actually try to steal my pet?"

"Humph! Watch your mouth!" Tong Yue waved his hand, "I'll give you ten thousand gold coins. Now leave your pet behind and scram immediately!"

How could there be such a shameless person?

The little fox's fur stood up as it angrily looked at Tong Yue.

Chu Tian was a little angry now, "And if I reject your proposition?"

"Reject? You don't have the qualification to reject me!" Tong Yue coldly laughed as he said, "Then just leave your life behind too!"

Tong Bowen's face turned ugly, "How could you do this….."

"Second brother, don't say anything else!" Tong Yue didn't even put his second brother in his eyes. He had a greedy look on his face as he said, "You also saw just how useful his beast was to Xiaoyu. He is just a nameless brat, we'll just kill him. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

As soon as he finished.

Tong Yue released his spirit energy and gave a loud roar. He jumped out and his body was covered in the glow of his source spirit, then a claw shot out at Chu Tian.

"Not even at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer!"

"Why are you so arrogant!"

"Scram!"

Chu Tian drew out the Netherworld Sword.

A blue and white sword glow shot out!

Tong Yue fell onto the ground with a pitiful cry, his right arm had been cut off. He wailed, "No, my hand!"

The severed arm was covered in Netherworld Ghost Flame and was currently being burned away. Even with a powerful treatment, he had no hope of ever attaching it again.

"You want to kill me with this little power?" Chu Tian's palm slammed into Tong Yue's dantian, "I'll waste you first then!"

The Demon God's Sword's power instantly burst forth and destroyed all the meridians in Tong Yue's body. His spirit energy quickly dispersed.

Before he was a highly dignified peak 1st Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator.

Now he was just a cripple.

Tong Bowen, Tong Ming, and Tong Xiaoyu were all shocked.

The Tong Family was only a small family and Tong Yue was the person with the highest cultivation in the family, that was why he could ignore the family head. He had acted arrogantly and even Tong Bowen did not dare to offend him.

They never would have thought.

A peak 1st Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator couldn't even block a single attack from this young man!

Chapter 127: Enemies often meet on a narrow path

Tong Yue had been crippled, but Tong Bowen was not angry. Rather he was chuckling to himself.

Tong Yue's cultivation base was high and he was very head strong, making him very overbearing and selfish. It was for this reason that their father did not pass his position to him.

Tong Yue kept this matter in his heart and after several years, the emotions had continued to grow stronger!

While he wasn't the head of house, he would still have the head's power. Sticking to his ways and acting as he wished, he did not put Tong Bowen in his eyes at all. This filled Tong Bowen with grievances, but due to Tong Yue's power and influence, Tong Bowen did not dare to move against him.

"My cultivation base! My cultivation base has been crippled!"

"Second brother, what are you staring at? Why are you not catching this villain!"

Tong Yue roared out in anger and grief. He never would have thought that for a moment of grief, he would suffer this kind of consequence. The cultivation he had spent several tens of years to build had been wasted, how could Tong Yue accept this? This was simply depriving him of his name!

[TL Note: Chinese people are proud of their names, so basically spitting on his pride]

You're now a cripple, what right do you have to order me around!

Tong Bowen secretly criticized him. Then he coldly said, "This matter is all Big Brother's fault. This young man showed kindness to our family, so how could you repay kindness with disrespect? While Big Brother can have no morals, Bowen will not be shameless!"

"Good, good, good!" Tong Yue desperately ran out the door, "You thing that sides with outsiders, I will not let you off! This little brat dares to steal young master Jing's fiancee, just wait for your deaths!"

What?

Jing Family!

Chu Tian asked in a surprised tone, "Tianchen Commerce's Jing Family?"

He had wanted to find the Tianchen Commerce anyway.

But Central State City was so big that he did not know where to find Tianchen Commerce.

Now it was all good. Someone from Tianchen Commerce would take the initiative to come over.

Tong Bowen's brows slightly knit together. He was afraid of the Jing Family and afraid of Tong Yue reporting to them, so he immediately said, "Come, someone take my Big Brother to get healed!"

"No!" Chu Tian revealed a strange expression, "Let him go find the Jing Family and tell them that Tong Xiaoyu's engagement will be cancelled. If the Jing Family does not agree, tell them I'm waiting for them here! Let them come and find me!"

Tong Bowen, Tong Ming, and Tong Xiaoyu looked at each other in amazement.

Does this little brat still want to live?

The Jing Family was not one of the Four Great Families, but they were still a large family in Central State City. They had been doing business for many generations and had very deep finances. Just a single Tianchen Commerce was worth several hundred million and the Jing Family also owned several other companies!

The Jing Family was not strong, but they had strong financial power. They had many connections in Central State City and many large families were either direct or indirect collaborators with the Jing Family.

Who dared to provoke such a large and rich family?

Tong Yue had not hesitated to offer his own niece just to make sure that he could flatter this large family.

This young man had travel worn clothing and carried a plain ancient sword, was probably just a rogue cultivator based on his average appearance. How could a nameless person without potential possibly afford to offend a large family like the Jing Family?

Tong Bowen quickly said, "You can't!"

"I already said let him go!" Chu Tian had a powerful aura, "If there is a problem, father here will take care of it. What is there for you to be afraid of! You don't even dare to protect your own daughter and you have no courage to stand up for yourself. Does becoming a head of household mean that everyone can just step over you!"

The aura coming from Chu Tian's body forced Tong Bowen to move back a few steps as he revealed an embarrassed expression.

"Good!"

"Just wait for me here!"

Tong Yue quickly fled the Tong Family.

Tong Bowen had a face of panic as he said, "The Jing Family's young master Jing Hao is not just a simple playboy. You cannot imagine the consequences of offending him!"

Chu Tian found it very strange, "What kind of earth shattering things can an idiot like Jing Hao do?"

"You must have just come to Central State City, so you don't know the news yet." Tong Bowen wiped the sweat off his head as he said, "Jing Hao and the vice chairman Jing Xian had met with members of Miracle Commerce half a month ago and they have signed a resource exchange contract with Miracle Commerce."

Chu Tian poured some tea for himself as he said, "So what's wrong with that?"

"When the news had reached Central State City at first, no one really cared about it then." Tong Bowen spoke up to here and then a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, "Who would have thought that this seemingly equal transaction would have deeper connotations!"

Chu Tian almost broke out in laughter, "What connotations!"

Tong Bowen said with a serious face, "Jing Hao and Miracle Commerce had signed a secret contract which allows Tianchen Commerce to receive products directly from Miracle Commerce. A week ago, a batch of Qi Refining Pills was delivered to Central State and caused a giant stir throughout the entire city!"

"Do you know how sought after the Miracle Commerce Qi Refining Pills are? With Tianchen Commerce's speculations, a single pill can sell for as much as forty thousand gold coins! People finally realized at this moment just what Jing Hao and Jing Xian were planning."

"They're planning to use the large families' pressure to create a regular route for Miracle Commerce and planning to reap long term benefits from it! It's said that from now on, every month, no, every week, Miracle Commerce will be supplying new commodities to Tianchen Commerce. They will be sending Qi Refining Pills and even electrical lamps!"

"Because of these successful negotiations, Jing Hao has become a very popular person in the Central State City merchant community! The Jing Family puts a lot of importance on him right now. If you forcefully cancel the engagement, wouldn't this be slapping the Jing Family's face?"

What is happening?

The two of them had been beaten and extorted by Chu Tian, but they had become famous from it?!

A bottle of Qi Refining Pill truly had a shocking might.

It had increased Tianchen Commerce's reputation by a large amount!

The people of the Main City were very unfamiliar with Miracle Commerce, but the rumours of Miracle Commerce had already spread through the streets of the Main City.

The news of Chu Tian holding the Heavenly Wolf Young Master hostage in front of the Ye Family wolf riders had been spread through the city for a long time. This was a small company in a small city, but no one in Central State City dared to look down on it.

A company that could offend three of the Great Families and could remain safe and sound.

What kind of terrifying power did they have?

A company that could produce the Qi Refining Pill and the electrical lamps.

How advanced were they in terms of technology?

The rumours about Chu Tian had been very embellished. They made him seem like a monster that had three head and nine arms!

Tianchen Commerce dared to negotiate with this cut throat chairman and could receive this kind of benefits. Everyone admired their courage!

The young Jing Hao had been able to take part in these successful negotiations and had become a rising star in his family. Naturally he became one of the most important people among merchant family juniors in the Main City!

Chu Tian had expected none of this!

When Tong Bowen saw Chu Tian's dazed face, he thought he was scared. He could only give a long sigh.

Tong Xiaoyu stood there with a guilty face, "Big Brother, you should leave first. We'll go and explain everything."

Chu Tian smiled and waved his hand. He didn't care about any of this.

The Tong Manor's gates suddenly flew open and an arrogant youth wearing a brocaded robe swaggered in, bringing over ten guards with him.

"Son of a bitch! Who dares to steal my fiancee? Are you tired of living?"

A familiar voice rang out.

It really was this bastard!

"I am Tianchen Commerce's junior chairman Jing Hao!" The youth wearing the brocaded robe really was Jing Hao, but now he was even more arrogant. It seemed like he forgot he was poisoned judging by the way he swaggered about, "It was your Tong Family that requested the marriage and you have already accepted the gift, plus the news has already been spread, but now you dare to cheat me? Do you even want to give me any face? Are you even trying to give Tianchen Commerce any face!"

Jing Hao's contemptuous gaze swept across everyone in the Tong Family, his heart filled with a sense of superiority.

You dared to play tricks with me?

I am a very important person in the Main City right now!

I am the star of the Jing Family!

A small family like you counts for nothing!

Jing Hao's eyes swept across everyone here and then his eyes fell onto Chu Tian drinking his tea. Because Chu Tian had been disguised, he could not recognize him. He fiercely shouted, "How bold! When you see this young master, you actually dare to sit there and drink tea?"

Tong Yue revealed a look filled with hatred, "Young master, it's that person!"

Jing Hao snorted and was about to release his rage, but his pupils suddenly contracted and the expression froze on his face. He displayed a very strange expression, almost as if he had just seen a ghost.

Yi?

Why does this sword seem so familiar?

Jing Hao stared at the ancient sword on the young man's back.

Have I seen this before? Wait!

Jing Hao felt like he had been struck by lightning and a loud voice rang out in his mind...Isn't this Chu Tian's sword!

"You, you...Where did you get that sword!"

Chu Tian slowly stood up and revealed a smile that Jing Hao was very familiar with, one that caused a chill to run through his spine, "This sword? Of course it's this little one's sword!"

Although his appearance had changed.

His temper and manner were all the same!

A terrifying suspicion appeared in Jing Hao's mind!

At this moment, a little head appeared from behind Chu Tian. The little white fox learned from Chu Tian and revealed a smile, it gazed at Jing Hao with a strange look.

Little white fox!

Oh, damn!

It truly is that evil star!

"After so long, I had thought you had died." Chu Tian smiled as he said, "Young master Jing has not died and now looks so radiant. He's even prepared to accept a concubine. This one is truly ashamed."

"So bold!"

A Tianchen Commerce guard exploded with rage.

Tong Bowen quickly walked out. He lowered his head and said, "Please appease your anger young master Jing, this is all a misunderstanding! Please listen to my explanation!"

Was this young man not afraid of stirring up trouble?

He dared to use this kind of tone to provoke the honoured young master Jing!

It's over, it's all over. Everyone already knew Jing Hao's temper, the Tong Family would definitely be implicated today.

"Tong Bowen and the others are also accomplices!" Tong Yue angrily said at the side, "Young master Jing, you can also see that these people are insulting you and planning to steal your fiancee. If this matter was known, wouldn't everyone laugh at you?"

"Scram!"

Jing Hao angrily turned around and slapped Tong Yue's face!

Tong Yue went flying several meters and said with wide staring eyes, "Why..."

He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.

Jing Hao was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He angrily shouted, "What are you staring at? Drag this fellow out for me and hit him. Hit him for me and break both his legs!"

Everyone was shocked.

What was happening?

Jing Hao turned around and his expression completely changed. He no longer dared to be arrogant and had a humble face instead. He awkwardly coughed and then stiffly said, "To be honest, something went wrong with my cultivation lately and my body has not been good lately. I've been feeling dizzy and my kidney has been feeling weak, even my memory is becoming worse. I've even been going to the brothel less."

After saying this, he began to cough again.

"Eh…..Because of my physical condition, I'm not suited to taking a concubine right now. I've come to the Tong Family to cancel the engagement!"

Jing Hao came to cancel the engagement? Who was he fooling!

He had just walked in with in an arrogant manner and had been looking down on everyone in the manor. How was that the manner of a person cancelling an engagement would act!

He had changed in an instant and quickly displayed this sickly appearance.

Chu Tian sighed and said, "I can see you've been going to brothels too much, so you're lacking in yang energy. A young man needs to know limits and not over indulge himself, don't you know this?"

Lacking in yang energy!

Jing Hao's face turned green and he trembled as he said, "Mister is right!"

Chu Tian continued by saying, "This one knows a bit of medical skills, perhaps I can help you improve your condition."

Jing Hao leaned over and said, "Then I'll have to trouble this mister. Please come and relax at the Jing Manor mister!"

Tong Bowen finally understood.

Jing Hao was scared of Chu Tian. It could be said he feared Chu Tian!

Chu Tian did not follow behind Jing Hao. He ignored Jing Hao and walked over to Tong Xiaoyu. Then he revealed a faint smile to her, "Do you know why I helped you?"

Tong Xiaoyu was at a loss as she said, "Because Big Brother is a good person."

"Good person?" Chu Tian rubbed his chin and then laughed as he said, "Of course I am a good person, I'm even better than you can imagine. Do you like Mechanical Beasts? I'll give you a test. I have two blueprints here, if you can design the thing drawn here, then deliver them to the Jing Manor in three days. Then, you will be able to obtain something you will not expect."

While he was speaking.

Chu Tian handed two scrolls over to Tong Xiaoyu. Then he called the cowering Jing Hao at his side as he left.

Tong Xiaoyu opened the blueprints and was immediately drawn in.

She had a strong talent for Mechanical Beasts since she was little. Although the blueprint Chu Tian gave her was a little vague, with many places that were incomplete, with Tong Xiaoyu's intuition, she could tell that this was something very interesting.

Who was this mysterious Big Brother?

He has to be someone famous!

She had met someone famous!

Tong Bowen excitedly asked, "Xiaoyu, can you finish it?"

Tong Xiaoyu put away the scrolls and nodded as she said, "This blueprint is complete. That Big Brother does not seem to be skilled with Mechanical Techniques and drew these blueprints based on his incredible memory. So, there are a few flaws here and there, but they can be easily fixed."

Chapter 128: Magnetic sound tower plan

Chu Tian had acted so arrogantly yet Jing Hao did not even dare to let out a single fart, this bewildered the Tianchen Commerce guards!

What happened to the young master?

Did his personality change?

Actually they did not know everything. Jing Hao had tried to pressure Chu Tian in Hidden Sound Town and tried to annex Miracle Commerce, but what was the result? Not only had he been beaten up, he had also lost properties valuing at several tens of millions of gold coins!

Jing Hao and Jing Xian had both been forced to ingest poison and now they were relying on Chu Tian's antidote to live.

There was no one in Central State that could cure the Heart Devouring Poison, so Chu Tian's life was also their life. If Chu Tian were to die or go missing, would they still be able to life?

One could not fear someone without knowing them!

After Jing Hao had left Hidden Sound Town, he had thought about taking revenge, but once he heard the news when he returned to Central State, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.

Chu Tian had wasted ten experts from both the Chu and Ye Families. Then when the Heavenly Wolf Young Master Ye Tianlang had personally gone to South Sky City to capture Chu Tian, he had instead been captured by Chu Tian!

Ye Tianlang's cultivation was at the 4th Awakened Soul Layer!

He was an Illustrious Soul expert!

Even in Central State, he was considered an expert, but he had fallen into Chu Tian's hands so easily. This caused a giant stir in Central State!

What was even more shocking was that Ye Wudao had led the Wolf Fang Mercenaries' cavalry to destroy South Sky City and cause a massacre!

But the results were?

In front of the ten thousand Ye Family mercenaries!

He had scolded Ye Wudao, beaten Ye Tianlang, and even cut off one of Ye Tianlang's arms!

This was still not the main point!

Finally the Divine Wind Marquis had appeared and personally defused the situation!

The Ye Family had been given the cold shoulder and ultimately was repelled. Chu Tian was still a free man and was perfectly fine. This was an unprecedented incident in the history of Central State!

Jing Hao knew that he could not provoke a person like Ye Wudao, who cared for nobody and went on bloody rampages. Would he let off a small family like the Jing Family? The grudge had disappeared without a trace and instead he had received a blessing!

Annoying a demon king like this and still being able to live, he was truly too lucky!

The current Chu Tian was like a bomb!

He had countless enemies in Central State and if he revealed his identity, it would cause a giant stir. Not only would it bring a disaster to Chu Tian, it would also bring countless troubles to the Jing Family.

Chu Tian said to Jing Hao, "Remember, I am called Lu Ren and I am a new retainer for the Jing Family. I don't want anyone else to know my true identity, do you understand?"

Thinking about the consequences that would come with Chu Tian's real identity being revealed, Jing Hao felt a chill run down his back.

"Of course, of course, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"

"Have the things I want come yet?"

"The Three Lives Demonic Insect, Nether Flame Grass, and Electromagnetic Crystal Stone have all been shipped in and stored in the warehouse. We've purchased them through other channels, so the price is a little higher this time….."

"What, are you afraid I don't have the money?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare!"

Jing Hao quickly wiped away his sweat.

Chu Tian took off the heavy pack that he was carrying on his back and opened it. He neatly stacked all the crystal stone cards in front of Jing Hao, "Here's a prepayment of five million. Other than the materials, there's also something else I need you to do for me!"

"You truly are rich. This one will jump through fire and water for you!"

"There's no need to go through fire and water since someone like you can't do it anyway!" Chu Tian impolitely tapped on Jing Hao's head, "I'll give you a refining recipe to admire. You'll need Hidden Sound Stone and Electromagnetic Crystal Stone to refined this Magnetic Sound Stone. Then I'll give you a map and you'll build several magnetic sound towers around Central State according to this map, do you understand?"

Jing Hao broke out in a cold sweat, "This…..This project seems a little big."

Chu Tian gave a cold snort.

Jing Hao continued by said, "But please relax. Then matter that sir has entrusted me with, I will completely to the best of my abilities!"

Chu Tian patted Jing Hao's shoulder, "I already told you in Hidden Sound Town, being a dog will bring its own rewards. You could be considered my lackey right now, so as long as the master has meat to eat, there will be a bone for you to gnaw on. If you finish this matter in two weeks, I'll give you another five million gold coins!"

Jing Hao almost couldn't believe what he had heard.

Miracle Commerce was truly too rich. They didn't even blink spending money like this?

From the plans, he could tell that this project would require at least ten million gold coins. That would mean he would be earning quite a big profit, at least 50%!

Chu Tian also said, "Also, Tong Family's Tong Xiaoyu will be bringing those blueprints over, so I want you to prepare a few factories to produce the things in the blueprint. As for the money, there won't be a lack of it for you!"

Jing Hao was incredibly excited, "I promise I'll complete this task!"

"You're the one that said it!" Chu Tian gave a snort, "If you can't finish it, just wait for the Heart Devouring Poison to kill you!"

Jing Hao began to tremble and he revealed a crying face. If he knew this earlier, he would not have said anything!

Once the magnetic sound towers were complete.

Miracle Commerce would rise up to another level and this initial investment could be considered nothing. All of Miracle Commerce's funds were currently in Chu Tian's hands, but with their development in South Sky City, it wouldn't be hard to come up with another ten million gold coins in half a month.

They had to pay a heavy price to earn a large reward!

Chu Tian knew that Jing Hao would properly do the things he wanted!

Chu Tian drew up the plan and gave it all to Jing Hao, then he prepared to leave the Jing Family. At this moment, a large beast carriage stopped in front of the Jing Family manor. Several people with expensive clothing walked out and walked over to the Jing Family Manor.

A purple robed middle aged man did not give any greetings and directly walked into the main hall, "Where is Jing Xian or Jing Tianming? I want to see them!"

"It's Sir Jiang!" Once Jing Hao saw who it was, he immediately came over and replied, "Master and second master are both out."

This Jing Hao.

Easy to walk over and pretends to be strong. It was really hard for people to respect him.

Jiang Qi's brows knit together. He did not waste time and directly said, "I'll keep this short. I've come to you Jing Family to buy Qi Refining Pills! Since they two of them aren't here, I'll have to make the deal with you instead. How much is it? Name your price!"

Jing Hao said in a depressed tone, "It's not that this one is not willing to sell, it's just we're out of products. You should also know that the Qi Refining Pill is not manufactured by Tianchen Commerce!"

"These are all excuses! I don't want to hear it!" Jiang Qi talked in a very strong manner, "I'll give you fifty thousand gold coins for one, sell ten of them to me!"

Fifty thousand gold coins?

My god!

Miracle Commerce only sold Qi Refining Pills for a fixed price of five thousand gold coins, occasionally increasing the price by one-two thousand gold coins. This price had already exploded.

The Qi Refining Pills were being sold in the South Sky City underground market for over ten thousand gold coins.

Who would have thought that they would be selling for even higher in Central State City. This rich Jiang Qi was now offering to buy one for fifty thousand gold coins!

Jing Hao secretly glanced at Chu Tian, "Sir Jiang, it's not a matter of money. Tianchen Commerce does not have any at the moment and there are many families already ordering them. If you want to buy it, you have to wait….."

Jiang Qi flew into a rage, "I need the Qi Refining Pills right now! I don't care how you do it, but you have to find some for me. Otherwise don't blame me for what I'm going to do! You should know my identity and my skills!"

This era was very interesting.

The large fish ate the small fish and the small fish ate shrimp.

The law of the jungle was everywhere!

Chu Tian decided to help him, "Tianchen Commerce truly does not have any Qi Refining Pills. There's no point in trying to force them..."

Jiang Qi coldly said, "You don't have the right to talk here! Scram!"

Fuck!

I'm being looked down on!

Do I really look that bad?

The little fox clapped its claws together and nodded to show approval!

Jing Hao was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He was very clear on Chu Tian's temperament. He had already offended three of the Great Families, it wouldn't matter if he offended another person.

Jing Hao suddenly came forward and wiped the sweat on his head as he said, "Sir Jiang, Sir Jiang, I promise you that as soon as the next shipment comes, I'll send some to you immediately. Please don't be angry."

Jiang Qi nodded his head in satisfaction. Then he looked at Chu Tian and said, "You see that? There is nothing that is impossible in this world. This is something that a lowly person like you will never understand!"

"We won't sell! We won't sell!" Chu Tian gave a cold snort, "Don't ever think of buying a Qi Refining Pill your entire life!"

"Jing Hao, your family servant seems to be quite disobedient." Jing Qi gave a cold snort, "If I help you teach him a lesson, you won't blame me, right?"

Jing Hao quickly said, "Please calm yourself Sir Jiang!"

"Brat, I'll let you know now what happens to those that go against me!" Jiang Qi waved his hand, "Pull out his tongue for me. I want to see how he talks back without his tongue!"

The two Yun Family members charged forward, trying to seize Chu Tian.

"Scram!"

One palm for each person.

The two Yun Family members were sent flying.

Jiang Qi flew into a rage, "You dare hit members of our Yun Sect? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Chu Tian reached his hand out and pulled out the Netherworld Sword. A ghostly qi filled the air and a frightening aura locked Jiang Qi in place, "Not to mention a few pieces of trash like you, even if it were the entire Yun Sect, what does it count for in my eyes?"

Ah!

This time, not only Jing Hao, but even Jiang Qi was shocked.

Does this brat not know the influence of the Yun Sect? It was a monster in the Central State in the business world, with half of the Central State's symbol arrays and pill recipes coming from the Yun Sect alone. The Yun Sect was considered the place where the top scholars of Central State gathered, even the Divine Wind Marquis would have to give face to the Yun Sect!

What did this little brat count for?

"You....are seeking death!"

Jiang Qi released his spirit qi as he prepared to release his source spirit, but Chu Tian's sword fell. A blue and white sword qi slammed into Jiang Qi and he was sent flying out the main doors by the terrifying power.

"Pu!"

Jiang Qi spat out a large mouthful of blood and invisible Netherworld Flame entered his body. It directly destroyed most of his meridians and his cultivation dropped.

Too terrifying!

This little brat was too strong!

Even with a battle strength of 2nd Awakened Soul Layer or above, an average person could not fight against him!

Jing Hao watched everything from the side, but had no way to interfere. These were both people that he could not offend, how did he get caught between the two of them?

It's over!

There's trouble!

There's a lot of trouble now!

Chu Tian saw Jing Hao's uneasy expression and he couldn't help snorting, "What are you scared of? I'm the one that beat him up, it doesn't involve you at all! Moreover, he's not even surnamed Yun and yet he dares to act this arrogantly!"

Jing Hao wanted to cry, but no tears flowed. The Yun Family's influence in Central State was not small. If he beat up a Yun Sect member in the Jing Jia, how could that not involve the Yun Family?

"Do you know why I didn't directly kill you?" Chu Tian ice like sword was placed onto Jiang Qi's neck, "Since you are so proud of the Yun Sect, I will be going to to the your sect and asking for advice myself. I want to see just how great the famous Central State Yun Sect is!"

Lunatic!

He have beat up members of the Yun Family and wasn't running away.

Rather he was making the enemy take him back to the sect itself. Wasn't this seeking death?

Chu Tian had already gotten the Jing Family to help him secretly provide factories and build the magnetic sound towers, so he was done here. The Jing Family was a commercial family and had strong abilities in this aspect, so Chu Tian was not worried that Jing Hao would not be able to achieve this.

Then, since the board piece had already been laid, he would make use of it now.

Yun Family, one of the Four Great Families.

If he could get the support of the Yun Family first, then everything would be easier from now on.

Chu Tian had saved Yun Yao several times and had revitalized the Yun Family. Yun Yao should not be someone that repays kindness with disrespect and Yun Tianhe was a scholar, so he would not take things too far.

Because of this, Chu Tian was not afraid of the Yun Family. He would give the Yun Family a large gift first and cause a large stir in the Yun Sect, while using this to probe Yun Tianhe's disposition!
