"Since Brother Xiahou has spoken, then let this matter rest!" Duan Chen said indifferently: "But I will definitely not let this person join my team. Let him find another team!"

"Brother Duan, Young Master Chen and I have already agreed on a mission together. If you can't tolerate him, then I can only withdraw." Xiahou Zhan said indifferently.

He had long since noticed the breathtaking beauty of this girl, Chen Xiner. Even he found it difficult to resist her.

"This mission is extremely dangerous. With the three of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to protect yourselves. I advise you to reconsider!" Duan Chen said with a gloomy tone.

"You don't have to worry about that. We might not be worse than you in this mission!" Chen Yu said in a heavy voice.

"Hahaha …" I didn't hear wrongly, is this brat trying to challenge us?! " Beside Duan Chen, a well-dressed youth laughed until he fell back and forth. "Brat, aren't you afraid of saying something big?

"Oh? In that case, would you dare to gamble with me?! " In the face of the other party's mockery, Chen Yu immediately countered with a general.

"Hmm?!" What do you want to bet? " Duan Chen asked indifferently.

"Let's bet on this mission. The rewards that the three of us will receive will be higher than the seven of you!" Chen Yu said in a heavy voice.

"Haha, this is simply laughable. If the three of you are unlucky, then forget about completing the mission, it's hard to say whether or not you'll be able to keep your lives!" He Yutang, who was fighting with Chen Yu just now, mocked.

"I only ask, do you dare to gamble?" Chen Yu ignored He Yulong's words, and directly looked towards Duan Chen.

"Where's the wager?!" Duan Chen asked.

"The wager is the reward of this mission. The loser has to give all their rewards to the winner!" Chen Yu said seriously.

"I can bet with you, but on one condition!" Duan Chen said.

"What condition?" Chen Yu asked.

"I want her!" Duan Chen immediately cast his gaze at Chen Xiner.

"I will not bet with Xin Er, even if I am 100% sure of defeating you!" Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Oh?" A flicker appeared in Duan Chen's eyes.

"Then let's take another gamble. If you lose, then leave Miss Xin'er!"

Everyone could see the desire in Duan Chen's eyes for Chen Xiner.

As one of the top ten in Martial Imperial Manor, Duan Chen never thought he would be moved by a woman.

However, Chen Xiner's appearance had completely changed his mind.

From the very first moment he saw Chen Xiner, he wanted to take her for himself.

However, he noticed that Chen Xiner seemed to favor this person called Chen Yu.

If he wanted to obtain Chen Xiner, he had to get rid of him first.

That was why he accepted Chen Yu's bet and made this request.

Otherwise, how would Chen Yu, a newbie from the Martial Imperial Manor, have the qualifications to gamble with him?!

"Sure!" Chen Yu finally nodded and agreed.

"Alright, let's meet at the end of the mission!"

After he finished speaking, Duan Chen led the people around him and immediately walked out of the "Hall of Reward".

Looking at the serious expression in Duan Chen's eyes as he left, Xiahou Zhan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Chen Young Master, are you really sure that you can win against Duan Chen and the rest?!" Xiahou Zhan could not help but ask.

"Don't worry, I'm confident enough!" Chen Yu said calmly.

Soon, the mission to kill the robbers was announced in the "Hall of Reward".

Since the reward was to enter the "Nebula Palace" Martial King Medallion, this mission quickly spread throughout the entire Martial Imperial Manor.

All the geniuses of the Martial Imperial Manor threw themselves into this mission.

In the next few days, the young geniuses of the Martial Imperial Manor began to form their own small teams, in order to maximize their rewards.

The top three heroes of the Martial Imperial Manor did not care about the Martial King, so they did not participate in this mission.

And there were still a few among the ten prodigies who were currently in closed-door seclusion.

Therefore, among the teams participating in this mission, the three most powerful teams were publicly accepted as follows:

The tenth elite, Duan Chen's team.

Ninth hero, Huang He's team.

And the seventh hero, Zhao Yijian's team.

The teams of these three people all adopted an elite strategy, which meant that they would only be able to recruit members at the peak of the Sixth Stage of the Martial Dao, and each team would only be able to recruit six or seven people.

Very quickly, the people who had formed the squads divided into small squads, and left Martial Imperial Manor one by one, heading towards their destination, Chang Feng County.

Chen Yu, Chen Xiner, the group which the three had formed, were also amongst them.

In three days, the three of them had traveled a thousand miles and finally arrived at the buffer zone at the border of the County City.

This was a desert with a vast area. If an ordinary person were to enter, it would be very difficult for them to leave this place. That was why the two countries took this place as their border.

Here, anyone who was wanted for committing a crime would be able to escape the pursuit of the soldiers if they plunged into the desert with their head in the sand.

It was because of this that this area was filled with countless thieves and bandits.

"Chen Young Master, entering the desert, we will be entering the danger zone, are you sure you have to go in?!" Xiahou Zhan asked.

"Of course, how can one advance in martial arts without further training?!" Furthermore, this time, I am prepared to receive the Martial King Badge and cultivate in the "Nebula Palace". After Chen Yu gradually absorbed the Spirit King's will, he subconsciously carried a trace of the God King's domineering aura, and his speech contained a strong confidence.

"But Young Master Chen, after entering the desert, other than the enemies, you have to be careful of Duan Chen. He is a cruel and merciless person, I'm afraid that when there is no one else around, he will make a move on you!" Xiahou Zhan reminded Duan Chen in a small voice when he saw Duan Chen and the others enter the desert.

"En, I will be careful!" Chen Yu nodded and also walked into the desert.

Even if Xiahou Zhan hadn't warned him, Chen Yu had still detected the killing intent in Duan Chen's eyes.

He knew that he was an obstacle in Duan Chen's eyes.

Just because of Chen Xiner's good impression of him, it was already a great disaster.

Duan Chen was someone who could stand out amongst the many geniuses in the Martial Imperial Manor and become one of the top ten heroes, he was definitely not a kind man or woman.

At the moment, the reason why Duan Chen did not attack him was definitely not because of the sect rules.

The most important reason was probably to leave a good impression on Chen Xiner.

If Duan Chen wanted to defeat him fair and square, he had nothing to say and automatically left Chen Xiner's side.

As for whether Duan Chen would make a move against him after he leaves Chen Xiner, it would depend on his mood.

However, even if he said that, if Chen Yu and the others showed any signs of surpassing Duan Chen during the mission, Duan Chen was afraid that he would completely tear apart this trace of disguise and attack him without any scruples.
