Chapter 1602 (Raw 1584): Merely So-So
On the other side, Lan Luo returned to Auntie Bai’s side with a somewhat unsightly expression. Then, she handed over Xiao Chen’s payment.
“Eighty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades? That is a really huge discount. What’s wrong? You fell for him?” Auntie Bai teased as she looked at Lan Luo. However, Lan Luo’s expression seemed somewhat strange.
Lan Luo shook her head and said, “Auntie Bai, stop teasing me. However, that person in VIP room 3 seems to have figured out my identity.”
“That can’t be. How could someone in this place figure it out? Well, even if he did, it is fine. Your experiential training ends at the start of next month. Then, you will return to headquarters.”
Your experiential training ends at the start of next month. Then, you will return to headquarters.
A strange look appeared in Lan Luo’s eyes. The head office was truly a complicated and serious place.
To avoid some things, Lan Luo had to come to this desolate Purple Sun Region. However, no matter how hard she hid, from the moment she was born, some things were fated to remain the same.
The blood in her body would not change.
“Auntie Bai, please send someone to protect those people in secret. I believe that the Ice-Snow Sword and Yan Xin will definitely make a move on him,” Lan Luo said softly after collecting her thoughts.
Although Xiao Chen rejected Lan Luo’s kind intentions, she had to acknowledge that he did help her out. She had to repay that favor.
“Haha! This is really rare. This is my first time seeing you take the initiative to plead on another’s behalf.”
Lan Luo explained, “This can’t really be considered as pleading for another. Ensuring the safety of our guests has always been the policy of our Purple Cloud Pavilion.”
“That is for within the Purple Cloud Pavilion. Outside the Purple Cloud Pavilion, we can’t do anything. This is the rule of Purple Sun City.”
Auntie Bai did not agree to Lan Luo’s request. Instead, she said softly, “You should know that Purple Sun City has existed for thousands of years and has many unspoken rules. Although these rules are unwritten, everyone knows them. Otherwise, the place would be chaotic.”
When Lan Luo heard that, she was slightly stunned. Then, she understood.
This Purple Sun City was at the very edge of her clan’s sphere of influence. Those Rank 2 sects knew who stood behind the Purple Cloud Pavilion and would not dare to mess with them.
However, the Purple Cloud Pavilion was here to do business as well. They could not openly offend those factions. They would absolutely never fall out with them.
“I understand.”
Auntie Bai nodded and said, “It’s good that you understand. To headquarters, Purple Sun City is more of a tribute to tradition.”
After Auntie Bai left, a strange light flashed in Lan Luo’s eyes. Then, she said softly, “An Yue, you know what I want, right? Go, then.”
No one responded from the darkness. However, if one looked carefully, one would discover that one shadow seemed to be missing from the room.
Since Lan Luo could not use the forces of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, she could only use her own personal bodyguard.
—
Xiao Chen led Fei`er and the others out of the Purple Cloud Pavilion. A few figures flashed continuously, following closely behind.
However, Xiao Chen acted like he did not notice. He only laughed coldly in his heart.
Walking at a leisurely pace, Xiao Chen exited the Purple Cloud Pavilion and arrived on the streets of Purple Sun City, then headed in the direction of the Pirate Alliance.
“Brother Xiao Chen, why leave so soon? You were very high and mighty in the auction house. After you come out, are you going to flee with your tail between your legs?”
A cold voice rang out, directed at Xiao Chen. This stunned the few behind Xiao Chen.
“Just ignore it and continue walking,” Xiao Chen said indifferently without stopping, continuing forward unhurriedly.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
However, just at this moment, two figures appeared from behind. The Ice-Snow Sword asked indifferently, “Brother Xiao, why hurry off so quickly?”
Yan Xin looked at Xiao Chen and said softly, “I really overestimated you. I thought you would have some miraculous means. It turns out that you were just going to flee quickly.”
The many cultivators who came out of the Purple Cloud Pavilion, a short distance away, immediately noticed the situation and felt excited. Indeed, it was as they expected. How could the Ice-Snow Sword and Yan Xin possibly let Xiao Chen off?
However, the crowd did not know why Feng Buyu—the Wind Chasing Sect’s new talent—did not appear.
[TL Note: This Feng Buyu is a different one from Chapter 500.]
The other two new talents had attended the Purple Cloud Pavilion’s annual large-scale auction, but Feng Buyu had not.
Otherwise, this scene would be even livelier.
Yan Xin looked at the Ice-Snow Sword and said with a smile, “Brother Luo, it seems like that there has never been anyone in this vast Purple Sun Region who could get us to attack together.”
The Ice-Snow Sword said softly, “There are always some people in the world who believe themselves infallible until they are taught a lesson.”
Earlier, the Ice-Snow Sword, Luo Feng, had felt some resentment when he saw Xiao Chen’s group in Idle Cloud Restaurant.
However, Luo Feng had not felt the need to cause a commotion over a few words. Now, it looked like these people were not going to reciprocate when he had already given them face.
Do they think that they can do as they wish in Purple Sun City because they have a Minor Primal Core Venerate with them?
“However, speaking of which, that girl following behind them looks rather pretty.” Yan Xin ogled Fei`er, lust flashing in his eyes.
It looked like that Burning Moon Sect disciple’s attempt to molest Fei`er previously might have been the intention of Yan Xin.
Those two new talents spoke as if Xiao Chen’s group was just air.
This treatment made the people who came out from the Purple Cloud Pavilion shake their heads. To think that these two people were toying with Xiao Chen like that, not thinking anything of him at all. Clearly, they were extremely confident in their own strength.
However, the crowd pitied Xiao Chen. He really should not have offended these two people.
The Burning Moon Sect and the Ice-Snow Mountain Manor were Rank 2 sects of the Purple Sun Region. Furthermore, these two people were peak new talents of their respective sects. They were not people to offend.
However, no one discovered that some rage had appeared in Xiao Chen’s eyes at some point in time.
While Xiao Chen had gotten angry and killed since entering Purple Cloud City, he had not truly gotten enraged.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, “I’ll leave the white-clad one to you. I know that you have been wanting to make a move since long ago.”
“Hahaha! I was just waiting for you to say that!”
Xiao Suo, who was carrying the pirate flag, laughed loudly. His figure flashed, appearing like a black tornado.
Dust flew up from the ground. Xiao Suo’s rage crushed the dust into nothing.
Xiao Suo used the scarlet pirate flag as a saber. As he flourished it, the tattered flag fluttered, giving off a low hum. Eventually, it buzzed loudly. Surprisingly, this tattered banner could give off a piercing, berserk howl.
The surrounding crowd let out startled exclamations. Unexpectedly, the one who made the first move was Xiao Chen’s side.
The Ice-Snow Sword Luo Feng held his sword handle with his right hand and said, “It looks like this sword will taste the blood of a Venerate again!”
When Luo Feng drew his sword, there was a flash of cold light, and snowflakes drifted down. The entire area turned cold, a chill that induced panic and fluster.
The more horrifying thing was that dense sword light. Its brilliance was so strong and glaring that no one dared to look at it.
The instant Luo Feng attacked, the Burning Moon Sect’s Yan Xin attacked as well.
Yan Xin and Luo Feng were like polar opposites.
Yan Xin’s figure flashed, appearing like an erupting volcano. His aura was berserk and unparalleled. Then, a burning, bright moon soared into the sky from behind him.
The burning, bright moon cast its light on Yan Xin. This energy then coalesced on his fist.
Immediately, Yan Xin’s fist blazed with resplendent light, no weaker than Luo Feng’s sword light.
“That is really strong!”
Startled outcries came from the crowd. Yan Xin and Luo Feng truly lived up to being two of the three strongest new talents of the Purple Sun Region.
No one doubted that Yan Xin’s punch could explode Xiao Chen if it landed.
After all, Xiao Chen was completely unknown and only had a cultivation at the Yin Essence Stage. How could he block the half-step Primal Core Yan Xin?
Many people thought that this punch would instant-kill Xiao Chen.
As for Xiao Suo, no one expected much of him, either. However, as he was an early-stage Minor Primal Core cultivator, they believed that he would not die so fast.
“Senior Brother, explode him with one punch!” the Burning Moon Sect disciples yelled. They were all extremely confident in Yan Xin, and their voices were full of pride.
When the fist approached, Yan Xin shouted, “Die!” The berserk, fiery air seemed like it would burn Xiao Chen up.
“At your hands? That’s impossible.”
Xiao Chen laughed coldly and threw a palm strike.
“Boom!”
Wind came from Xiao Chen’s palm, and a bright moon that was also burning soared from behind him.
When the palm and fist met, neither moved back at all. The Burning Moon Sect’s Yan Xin gaped at Xiao Chen in confusion, horror filling his face.
Xiao Chen’s palm contained Vital Qi, saber intent, and boundless Veritable Essence Energy, making Yan Xin feel like he faced a surging sea, vast and deep.
The watching crowd was stunned. This scene was truly unexpected.
To think that it was equal. Xiao Chen blocked this punch.
However, what was even more startling was that the bright moon behind Xiao Chen flared.
The moon lit up five kilometers of the sky like fire. Blood filled the heavens. That was Xiao Chen’s hot-bloodedness burning fiercely.
This scene was very shocking. Yan Xin vomited a mouthful of blood as he got knocked back.
When Yan Xin fell to the ground, the burning, bright moon above him shattered. Then, he vomited another mouthful of blood. His complexion paled, looking drained of blood.
“Genius? Merely so-so.”
Xiao Chen waved his hand, dispelling his bright moon, and a gale swept away the blood, leaving only a group of stunned Purple Sun City cultivators.
