"Changlin Academy?"

Feng Xuan’er tilted her head slightly, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "Never heard of it. Would you like to make a transaction with me?"

"Transaction?"

Jiang Chen blinked, puzzled: "Why choose me for the transaction?"

"Da Han said you have the power fluctuations he needs, and if you’re willing, we can exchange them for a fake Dao treasure."

Feng Xuan’er pointed to Da Han beside her and spoke softly.

"A fake Dao treasure!?"

An exclamation rang out, and the people around looked at the two girls with keen interest.

"Power fluctuations?"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly: "You can sense the power fluctuations within me?"

Hu Yiqiu and the others all grew slightly more solemn. Jiang Chen had sealed his apertures, so even Hu Yiqiu couldn’t sense Jiang Chen’s internal power fluctuations, yet these two could, which raised concerns.

"Yes, but maybe not once off the bridge. The bridge has its intrinsic power drawing out your internal power, allowing Da Han to detect it."

Feng Xuan’er nodded slightly.

"The Titan Clan is naturally adept with physical strength, and they are especially sensitive to energies that enhance physical power!"

Hu Yiqiu gave a brief explanation.

Enhancing physical strength... Do they mean Dragon Qi and Long Yan?

After acquiring Long Yan, Jiang Chen sealed it along with Dragon Qi within the apertures, using Dragon Qi to nourish it. Long Yan could likewise refine the body.

"Sorry, but I need that power as well."

Jiang Chen shook his head gently.

"Come on, that power is really important to Da Han, it can help him enter the Integration Path!"

Feng Xuan’er showed a trace of anxiety in her eyes, her face full of grievance.

"Sorry!"

Jiang Chen refused again.

"Friend, that’s being unreasonable!"

A voice called out, and a young man in fine clothing approached Jiang Chen and the others, with an elder following behind.

"Since it’s a power absorbable by the Titan Clan, it’s typically used for physical enhancement, not significant for us human cultivators. Wind Miss is offering a fake Dao treasure that far exceeds your inner power, why make things difficult?"

The young man looked indignant: "Are you trying to inflate the price?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the young man but did not respond. He turned to Feng Xuan’er: "Sorry, I need my power myself."

With that, Jiang Chen began to walk forward.

Feng Xuan’er’s face shifted slightly, pursed her lips, feeling a little angry but mostly disappointed.

She blinked away, returning to Da Han’s shoulder, speaking in grievance: "Da Han, it wasn’t exchanged."

"It’s alright."

Da Han replied in a muffled voice, ready to move forward but paused, eyeing Jiang Chen and his companions.

The young man’s face darkened as Jiang Chen ignored him, seeing Jiang Chen’s group leaving, he quickly blocked their path.

"Kid, don’t be too arrogant! This is Canglan City; no one here is someone your Changlin Academy can provoke."

The young man looked at Jiang Chen sinisterly: "Be sensible, give Wind Miss the power she needs, and you’ll still receive a fake Dao treasure. If you aren’t, you won’t get anything and will still have to hand the power over to me willingly!"

"I’ve seen people snatching Spiritual Treasures, snatching Cultivation Techniques and Combat Skills, Spirit Grass and Spirit Pill. This is my first time seeing someone snatch internal strength."

Jiang Chen glanced at Feng Xuan’er and Da Han, amusedly looking at the young man: "If I don’t give it to you, can you forcibly extract it?"

"That remains to be seen."

The young man’s eyes flashed with cold light, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

Buzz!

A fierce surge of killing intent suddenly burst, falling heavily on the young man.

The young man’s face blanched, revealing a look of panic.

"Presumptuous!"

The elder behind the young man shifted his expression, pulling the youth behind him, coldly looking at Jiang Chen without attacking.

Jiang Chen gazed indifferently at the young man, then turned to Hu Yiqiu: "Master, can we fight here?"

"No!"

A stern voice reverberated, as a squad of armored soldiers approached, led by a black-armored young man.

Jiang Chen glanced at the middle-aged man, instantly recognizing the unit, having just departed their camp.

"In Canglan’s inner city, fighting is prohibited, unless it’s in the Southern Hundred Arenas Square, it’s not allowed even on the White Jade Bridge."

The middle-aged man coldly regarded Jiang Chen: "Withdraw your killing intent, or you’ll be dealt with for attempted combat, and executed directly!"

"Under which command are you serving?"

Hu Yiqiu frowned, questioning sternly.

"Master! Nevermind, it’s their duty!"

Jiang Chen gently reassured, withdrawing the killing intent, appreciatively looking at the black-armored youth.

The youth was merely at the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak, unable to discern the presence he couldn’t fathom from Jiang Chen’s side, yet he admonished forcefully, revealing not only his identity as part of Canglan Army but also his strong adherence to duty.

The black-armored man glanced at Hu Yiqiu, then turned to the young man in fine clothes: "Tan Zhengyao, I don’t care about your disputes with other Royal Mansions, nor you recruiting allies. But this White Jade Bridge is my station; if you want to cause trouble here, I’ll arrest you any time!"

Jiang Chen paused, his mouth slightly curling. The Canglan Army are remarkable individuals — informing him that the young man belonged to Qingwang Residence while hinting that Feng Xuan’er and Da Han aren’t necessarily allies?

Qingwang Residence...

Jiang Chen glanced at Tan Zhengyao, thinking intently. Didn’t he kill a Young Master from Qingwang Residence?

"Cui Commander, I was merely conducting a transaction with this friend. Isn’t that allowed?"

Tan Zhengyao’s face darkened, glaring at the black-armored youth.

"Socializing is fine, but I refuse the deal!"

Without waiting for the black-armored youth to speak, Jiang Chen quickly intervened, moving towards the array entrance.

With the warning clearly delivered, Jiang Chen didn’t want to make things difficult for Cui Commander. If Tan Zhengyao wants trouble, let him seek Jiang Chen directly, sparing others the involvement.

"Kid, dare reveal killing intent towards me? Wait and see! Hand over Wind Miss’s required power obediently, or I’ll make sure you can’t stay in this inner city! Filth from a lousy academy, dare defy me? Unbelievable!"

Tan Zhengyao, seeing Jiang Chen refuse again, yelled furiously.

The faces of Jiang Chen, Hu Yiqiu, and Yun Tao all shifted.

"If you insult Changlin Academy again, I’ll ensure you die here!"

Jiang Chen turned back, coldly staring at Tan Zhengyao.

Confronted by Jiang Chen’s icy gaze, Tan Zhengyao’s heart trembled fiercely.

The elder beside him seemed poised to step forward but suddenly felt two overwhelming auras locking onto him!

"Saint?!"

The elder exclaimed, glancing abruptly towards Jin Ming and Jin Ang!
