Chapter 1832: Chapter 1835: The Chen Family’s Sincerity

This disciple of the Chen family had already stepped into the realm of emperors, but the moment Chu Fengmian’s aura enveloped him, a chill surged up in his heart.

He realized that there was no need for Chu Fengmian to take action. The mere presence of this aura could suppress him to death.

This aura was only a tenth of what Chu Fengmian could exert, yet it was already comparable to the aura of those close to the Heavenly Human Realm.

As for this Chen family disciple, a lowly First Tribulation True Emperor, being enveloped by this aura was nothing short of a catastrophic disaster.

Chu Fengmian also heard the arrogance in the tone of this Chen family disciple, and now he intended to teach him a lesson.

Watching this Chen family disciple tremble and shiver, Chu Fengmian withdrew his aura.

For others, everything appeared normal, but only Chu Fengmian and the Chen family disciple understood the subtlety of it.

"Do I have the qualification to go to the ninth layer?"

Chu Fengmian looked at the Chen family disciple and spoke calmly.

"Yes, yes, please, senior."

The Chen family disciple heard Chu Fengmian’s words, snapped back to reality, and hurriedly replied, leading Chu Fengmian toward the ninth layer. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"What a formidable person! Such aura, only the ancestors might possess it—close to Heavenly Human Realm! How could there be such a young powerhouse close to the Heavenly Human Realm?"

The heart of the Chen family disciple was also caught in a storm.

The Chen family was one of the four major families of the Yanluo Star Region, but even within the Chen family, only the two ancestors had the power close to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Aside from them, even the current Family Head of the Chen family didn’t have the power close to the Heavenly Human Realm.

The aura Chu Fengmian just displayed was definitely close to the Heavenly Human Realm’s aura. Such a powerhouse was someone he dared not provoke, so he hurriedly led Chu Fengmian to the ninth layer.

Princess Hai, observing the Chen family disciple’s reaction, understood that Chu Fengmian had made a move to teach him a lesson. She didn’t bother and followed Chu Fengmian to the ninth layer.

This ninth layer was the highest point of the Chen family merchant guild, and at a glance, it appeared to be nothingness.

However, Chu Fengmian could see that within this void, countless Forbidden Array Formations were arranged, forming a Heaven and Earth Net.

Even a powerhouse close to the Heavenly Human Realm would suffer greatly if besieged by these Forbidden Array Formations.

This was also to prevent prying eyes.

When the Chen family disciple led Chu Fengmian and Princess Hai to the ninth layer, a middle-aged man was already waiting early on.

This middle-aged man was dignified, and his aura showed that he had long held a position of power, with strength already reaching the peak of the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, not below the level of Long Moluo.

He already harbored some hope of stepping into the realm close to the Heavenly Human Realm, though without a heaven-shocking encounter, it would be difficult for him to truly break through.

But such a figure was undoubtedly a prominent figure in the Chen family.

Upon seeing this middle-aged man, the Chen family disciple quickly retreated.

This middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.

"I am Chen Jin, president of the Chen Family Merchant Guild."

The president of the Chen Family Merchant Guild.

This merchant guild was the essence of the Chen family, and the so-called president was equivalent to the Family Head of the Chen family.

Princess Hai was slightly surprised, not expecting that the Chen family’s Family Head would personally greet them this time.

However, she was accompanying Chu Fengmian this time, and since they had arrived at the ninth layer, Princess Hai did not speak further, waiting for Chu Fengmian.

"Hmm."

Chu Fengmian merely nodded, indicating acknowledgment.

"Please have a seat, you two."

Seeing Chu Fengmian’s cold demeanor, Chen Jin showed no reaction and enthusiastically said.

After Chu Fengmian and Princess Hai sat down, Chen Jin suddenly spoke to Chu Fengmian.

"Mr. Chu, it’s an honor to have you visit. Our Chen family failed to welcome you properly. I hope you will forgive us for inadvertently offending you earlier. This is a Spirit Sword. I know Mr. Chu is a Sword Cultivator; this humble Spirit Sword is a small token of respect."

As Chen Jin spoke, he took out a Spirit Sword from his Space Ring.

The moment the Spirit Sword was taken out, its dazzling Sword Edge swept through the entirety of the ninth layer.

Though Chen Jin called it a small Spirit Sword, Chu Fengmian could tell that this Spirit Sword was a half-Immortal Artifact.

Its materials were ordinary, but its creator was definitely a Heavenly Human Realm Artifact Refining master, something even a martial artist close to the Heavenly Human Realm might not have.

It seemed that this was clearly one of the treasured items from the Chen Family Merchant Guild, now brought out by Chen Jin.

Chen Jin recognized Chu Fengmian the moment he saw his youthful appearance and that heaven-shocking aura.

The news of Chu Fengmian’s subjugation of the four major forces in the Daluo Star Region had reached the Yanluo Star Region within a few days.

In the past, some people from the Chen family went to the Nine Domains and occupied Beimang Academy, even attempting to attack the Sword Dao Sect, but were eventually killed by Chu Fengmian.

Chen Jin had heard about Chu Fengmian’s ruthless methods, and he feared that Chu Fengmian came to the Chen Family Merchant Guild for revenge, so he quickly showed a respectful attitude and presented the Spirit Sword.

Chu Fengmian’s strength had already far surpassed the Chen family.

He feared that if Chu Fengmian ever got angry, the Chen family would face annihilation.

"The Chen family’s intelligence is quite sharp indeed."

Seeing that Chen Jin recognized his identity, Chu Fengmian was a bit surprised.

The news of his subjugation of the four major forces in the Daluo Star Region had reached the Yanluo Star Region within a few days.

Even Chen Jin instantly recognized Chu Fengmian’s identity.

However, Chu Fengmian’s subjugation of the Daluo Star Region’s four major forces was not done in secrecy. He openly attacked, intending to establish his prestige.

Anyone interested in investigating could find out.

"I’ll accept this Spirit Sword."

Chu Fengmian saw Chen Jin’s attitude and understood that he wished to befriend Chu Fengmian.

Indeed, some from the Chen family had occupied Beimang Academy and tried to attack the Sword Dao Sect, but Chu Fengmian had killed them.

Since Chen Jin wished to resolve their grievances, Chu Fengmian decided to give him that chance.

After all, this Spirit Sword was surely one of the treasured items from the Chen Family Merchant Guild, brought out by Chen Jin to show his attitude.

Chu Fengmian took the Spirit Sword and placed it into his Space Ring.

Though this Spirit Sword was of no use to Chu Fengmian, it could be bestowed upon the Sword Dao Sect disciples in the future.

Seeing Chu Fengmian accept the Spirit Sword, the Family Head of the Chen family, Chen Jin, breathed a sigh of relief.
