Chapter 32: Return
Huh?
They're not here to kill me? Why did they kneel down before even starting a fight, and now they want to give me something? Su Zhan was somewhat puzzled, his gaze shifting from Chen Hao to the people who rushed in behind him.
As a result, in less than a second, the other two family leaders, accompanied by a group of Essence Condensation warriors, all kneeled down.
"Our Zhao family in the Azure Mountain Range also has a treasure to present to Young Master Su!" A member of the Zhao family raised a chilling long sword above his head.
"Our Qian family as well!" Cold sweat streamed down the faces of the two family leaders.
A decent-looking female cultivator from the Qian family, searched through her storage ring for a while but couldn't find anything good. She gritted her teeth and said, "If Young Master Su doesn't mind, this humble servant is willing"
"Shut up!" Su Zhan already knew what she was about to say next, so he quickly reprimanded her.
Although she had decent looks, she must be at least in her thirties, right?
Su Zhan coldly snorted and swept a glance at those people. "Weren't you here to kill me?"
"You're joking, Young Master Su! How could we dare to come and kill you!"
Chen Hao forced a somewhat ugly smile. "To be honest, when the Li family informed me to come and assist, I was thinking of finding a way to stop their persecution of you, Young Master Su!"
"Oh?"
"You don't know, Young Master Su, the Li family is the strongest family in the Azure Mountain Range. They've often bullied our Chen family!"
Chen Hao hurriedly continued, "If you don't believe it, just randomly grab a disciple from the Li family and ask them if they have any grudges with our Chen family. Young Master Su, you've helped us vent our anger. This White Spitit Jade pendant can ward off mosquitoes, calm the mind, and emit a pleasant fragrance when worn on the body. Please, you must accept it. Otherwise, our Chen family will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
"Trouble sleeping and eating"
Su Zhan was amused by this person and didn't say much. He picked up the White Spirit Jade and handed it to Su Zhaoyue, smiling. "Take it. If this thing doesn't work, we'll come looking for him next time."
"Thank you." Su Zhaoyue's face blushed slightly as she received the jade pendant.
Chen Hao's face turned pale upon hearing Su Zhan's words, and he began to consider whether he should leave after this matter is over to avoid any trouble if Su Zhan actually comes looking for him! After all, emitting a pleasant fragrance from one's body is something that varies from person to person. Who can guarantee it?
Su Zhan then took the sword and brought it over. It was a high-grade Spiritual weapon, slightly inferior in quality to the one he held in his hand, but in a place like the Azure Mountain Range, it was indeed considered a top treasure.
After some thought, he gave the sword to Su Zhaoyue.
The Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect had many profound weapons, and once he broke through to the Master Master Realm, he could freely choose. This sword was like scrap to him.
"Su Zhan, why are you giving me everything? I don't currently have an equivalent treasure to give you." Su Zhaoyue hesitated for a moment and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"I am a disciple of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, and I can freely choose from the sect's treasure vault. This is of no use to me." Su Zhan smiled and explained.
"But I've already found it!" Su Zhan said, looking puzzled.
"What?" Chen Changfeng couldn't believe it. "You said you found it? Are you mistaken? Countless Fish Dragon Realm experts have been to the Azure Mountain Range and returned empty-handed. And yet, you found it in such a short time?"
"Yes," Su Zhan nodded earnestly and handed the celestial star fragment to Chen Changfeng. "Elder Chen, please take a look and confirm if it's real."
"Huh," Chen Changfeng gasped as he took the fragment. His breath was taken away.
Is this the terrifying luck of a Divine Body prodigy? He just picked up such a treasure by going out for a stroll, while I searched tirelessly for a month and found nothing!
Damn it! Comparison is odious! Chen Changfeng felt a tightness in his chest.
"Elder Chen, is this real? I'm a bit uncertain too. It seems like this thing was found quite easily!" Su Zhan asked.
"Well" Chen Changfeng looked frustrated.
Damn, I feel so terrible! Couldn't you have spent just one more day? That way, I could have been a little better off!
Sigh!
Chen Changfeng waved his hand with a sense of weariness. "Let's go! This is indeed the fragment of a celestial star. I will communicate with Master Ouyang. You go back and wait for further news."
"Alright then." Taking back the star fragment, Su Zhan turned and left.
Not long after Su Zhan's departure, Chen Changfeng flew on his sword to the main peak of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, heading towards a grand hall.
"Junior Brother Chen, why are you here now?" Sect Master Qin Jincheng, thinking about Su Zhan's condensation of his own lifesource weapon, furrowed his brow and asked, "Did you come because of Su Zhan? This child's talent is extraordinary. I have decided to personally visit the Heavenly Artifact Sect at all costs to purchase King-grade materials for him!"
"Sect Master, there's no need for that."
"Hmm? Why is that?"
Chen Changfeng said, "I want to ask Sect Master Senior something. Did Senior ever go to the Azure Mountain Range to search for that celestial star fragment?"
"I did go, but I only searched for three days in the mountain range before leaving. Such things are too elusive and unreliable to count on!" Qin Jincheng sighed.
"Su Zhan also went."
"Oh? He went too?"
"Yes, and he returned from the Azure Mountain Range in less than a day after searching!"
"Less than a day" Qin Jincheng frowned, feeling concerned. "Su Zhan, this child, is a prodigy with a Divine Body, but now it seems his temperament is not firm. He gave up so quickly. In the future, I'm afraid"
"But Sect Master, he has already obtained the star fragment" Chen Changfeng's voice echoed in the grand hall.
