At the same time, in Mythical Flame Palace.
Chi Xiao Jiu’s hands were placed behind his back as he gazed towards Blue Profound Sect’s directly, brows slightly creased.
“Strange, today Blue Profound Sect actually emits such vigorous Profound Energy fluctuations that even This Seat is able to sense it in Mythical Flame Palace, could it be that…. Blue Profound Sect is going to give birth to another new ninth stage realm practitioner? Ever since Mu Chengying came out of his closed door seclusion…hmm… isn’t Blue Profound Sect recovering a little too fast?!”
He was filled with anxiety when suddenly, a cold cough was heard from behind.
Chi Xiao Jiu’s back instantly became stiff as he turned around and knelt down in terror towards the man who was walking over.
“I… I didn’t know that Lord Zhan has visited personally, This Subordinate…. is guilty for not being able to receive you in person…”
The person who walked over is a man with a tall frame and he was dressed in a maroon coloured long robe. In the dark night, his long robe fluttered with the wind and the maroon colour seemed as though it was traces of dried blood, making one grew fear in their hearts whereas his face was covered with a hideous phantom mask, concealing his entire face which made one unable to see his genuine looks clearly.
The imposing manner from him was apparently ninth stage realm peak, and it was not yielding to Mu Chengying’s peak ability back then.
Chi Xiao Jiu’s words had just ended when he heard a “thud” as a slender figure knelt down behind him.
Chi Xiao Jiu took a clear look to discover that Ling Qing Yu had unknowingly been caught by the mysterious man.
The two who knelt down side by side were observing the almighty Lord Zhan in fear and trepidation but with the mask in the way, there was no way to guess what he was thinking at all.
Lord Zhan’s voice was heard, “You two pieces of trash! As the main people of the Seven Sacred Lands, bringing several billions of high grade spirit jades but yet still unable to bid for the Purified Branch successfully!”
Ling Qing Yu’s body trembled as she hurriedly explained, “Lord Zhan, please be appeased! It isn’t that This Subordinate didn’t exhaust all means but…. it’s because Blue Profound Sect suddenly sent someone to bid for the Purified Branch! Their financial ability was simply too powerful and we simply couldn’t outbid them!”
Chi Xiao Jiu also hurriedly explained, “That’s right, Lord Zhan! If it was any other powerhouse, if they knew that it was something that Lord Zhan you wanted, they definitely wouldn’t dare to come out and fight for it, but that was Blue Profound Sect…”
Lord Zhan gave a cold laugh, “Blue Profound Sect? So what if it was the Blue Profound Sect? Since you can’t outbid them, can’t you just snatch it back? Blue Profound Sect’s ability is no longer the same as before and it’s time to teach them a lesson!”
Chi Xiao Jiu and Ling Qing Yu exchanged glances and saw the hesitation and fear in each other’s eyes.
Before Lord Zhan could even hear their reply, his replied with an even chillier voice as a powerful oppression aura was released.
“Why? This Lord’s command, you seem very disdainful over it?”
“No, no, no, This Subordinate don’t dare!” Chi Xiao Jiu shook his head continuously and hurriedly said out the worry in his heart, “Initially we planned to head over to Blue Profound Sect to snatch back the Purified Branch but now that Mu Chengying came out of his closed door, Blue Profound Sect’s attitude suddenly became unyielding. You also know about Mu Chengying’s ability, we… how do we have his ability to snatch things from his hands?”
“Mu Chengying? He…. is out of ‘closed door’? How is that possible?”
Ling Qing Yu also hurriedly explained, “It’s true, Lord Zhan! This matter is absolutely true, with no pretense in it at all!”
