Chapter 1373
Chen Xuan remained calm throughout the entire process of hearing the price offered by Bai Rong, his eyes barely flickering. Putting aside the fact that these so-called rewards did not meet his needs at all, he could not possibly stop at the top 100 of the Immortal Fate Tournament.
"Isn't Senior being a bit too conservative?" Chen Xuan smiled and looked at Bai Rong. "Hasn't Senior ever considered the possibility of Qingtian County winning the Star Lord ranking?"
"Win the championship?" Bai Rong didn't react at first, but he immediately smiled wryly, "You mean... first place in the Immortal Destiny Tournament?"
"Not bad." Chen Xuan smiled and said in a joking tone, "Doesn't Senior have any dreams?"
"Hahaha—" Bai Rong shook her head and said, "Dreams? Forget it, I won't waste my breath on a junior like you. Here's the deal: if you can win first place in the Immortal Fate Grand Gathering and make my Qingtian County's God-Slaying Guard famous throughout Xuanxiao, you can name any conditions you want, okay?"
That breath—
Chen Xuan laughed, slapped his thigh and stood up, saying, "Alright, if that's the case, then it's settled. I, Chen Xuan, agree to represent Qingtian County and Qinglong Mountain Range in the Star Lord Ranking Competition."
"Hmm, kid, you have a bright future." Bai Rong stroked his beard and smiled, but before he could say anything more encouraging, Chen Xuan bluntly stated his conditions.
“Senior, I’d like to discuss this collaboration with you privately,” Chen Xuan said, his smile fading.
Bai Rong, unaware of Chen Xuan's true intentions, waved her hand at Zi Zhu and said, "Go and cultivate first."
"Yes, Master."
Zizhu bowed respectfully, and as she turned to pass Chen Xuan, she smiled and nodded in acknowledgment before walking out of the main hall, clutching her waist.
"Please, senior, activate the soundproof array to isolate our conversation from now on," Chen Xuan continued.
Bai Rong was a little unhappy now, and looked at Chen Xuan, saying, "What exactly are you trying to do, kid?"
Although displeased, Bai Rong did as he was told, after all, he was counting on Chen Xuan to improve the ranking of the God-Slaying Guards in the Star Lord Competition.
wow——
As the multiple isolation arrays in the main hall rose, Chen Xuan was certain that no more information would be leaked here. He continued, "Senior Bai Rong, I need you to swear an oath to keep this a secret and not to harm me. If you can agree to that, I will promise to break into the top 100 of the Star Lord rankings and make you satisfied."
"Hehe—" Bai Rong was furious when he heard this. He was being asked to make a vow by a junior, and he was even told not to have any intention of harming him? It was as if the Myriad Manifestations Realm had some great secret.
However, as the saying goes, there's always something fishy going on when things seem unusual.
Bai Rong refused to believe that this kid, who was only at the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm, could possibly trick her.
Immediately, Bai Rong took a vow, following Chen Xuan's instructions.
As the fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao descended, Chen Xuan's tense mood finally eased.
"Boy, if you dare to bluff me, hmph—" Although Bai Rong was smiling at this moment, there was the majesty of the leader of the God-Slaying Guard in his eyes.
Overwhelmed by the aura of the white fleece, Chen Xuan offered no explanation, but instead waved his hand—whoosh—
Three figures appeared disheveled at Chen Xuan's feet.
"Ah—no, no, please stop torturing us!"
"Chen Xuan, you, you will die a horrible death! Just wait, my ancestor will definitely skin you alive and tear your tendons apart!"
"No, please, Chen Xuan, kill me! Just kill me!"
The three people released by Chen Xuan were none other than the three contemporary prodigies of the Nalan clan, a super tribe in the Xuanxiao World: Nalan Junze, Nalan Yuze, and Nalan Fengming.
Since that day, the three of them had been cursed with the Soul Devouring Curse by Chen Xuan in the secret realm and suppressed in the Immortal Mansion Prison, where they had been suffering the pain of the Soul Devouring Curse eroding their souls every moment.
It hadn't been long, but the three of them were already in a state of near madness when they were released.
Even the graceful and noble-born Nalan Fengming said that she would be willing to be a slave or maid as long as he was not killed.
Bai Rong had such keen eyesight that she was startled when she saw the clothes the three were wearing. After a moment's thought, she suddenly stood up.
With the opening of the Immortal Realm Ancient Road Secret Realm, how could Bai Rong not know about such a grand event?
The Xuanxiao Great World has an endless territory. It can be said that any tribe with a little strength will take the local God-Slaying Guard teleportation array to Qingtian County, and then go to participate in the Immortal Realm Ancient Road.
This Nalan clan member left through this teleportation array three years ago.
Unexpectedly, after three years, the three prodigies of the Nalan clan have become prisoners and have been cursed with an extremely insidious Soul-Devouring Curse.
"Senior, we are members of the Nalan clan. If you save us, our clan's celestial immortals will reward you handsomely!" Nalan Junze had not yet realized that this place was the high-level deduction site of the God-Slaying Guard and still thought that Chen Xuan was being held captive by Bai Rong. He immediately introduced himself.
"Senior, I am Nalan Junze, the great-grandson of the current Grand Elder of the Nalan Clan. Please, senior, lend a helping hand!"
Seeing that the three were so lowly, Chen Xuan snorted coldly and waved his hand to suppress them into the Immortal Mansion Prison once again.
"You, you brat!" Bai Rong stared in shock at Chen Xuan's actions, her eyes twitching, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Were those three really the Three Heroes of the Nalan Clan?"
Hearing Bai Rong address the three of them in this way, Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "That's right, it's them."
"Are you crazy? Don't you know how troublesome the Nalan clan is? Why did you provoke them?" Bai Rong panicked a little, and the thought of this matter being leaked gave her a headache.
"Oh, so Senior Bai Rong is afraid of that celestial being from the Nalan clan?" Chen Xuan asked, somewhat disappointed.
"Bullshit, me? Afraid of the Nalan clan?" Bai Rong found these words grating. "Even if the Nalan clan had the guts, they wouldn't dare to touch me within the God-Slaying Guard."
"Boy, tell me, what exactly do you mean?" Bai Rong really couldn't see Chen Xuan's strength anymore. The three heroes of the Nalan clan had always been among the top ten young people on the Imperial Capital's Youth Ranking, but this time all three of them were suppressed by this kid.
Chen Xuan then gave a brief account of his feud with the Nalan clan.
Snapped!
After hearing Chen Xuan's account, Bai Rong slammed her hand on the table and stood up angrily. "With such actions, it's no wonder the three of them ended up like this. Well done, kid."
“Senior, I personally extracted the souls of these three and suppressed them.” Chen Xuan said to Bai Rong, “My disciple is still being tormented day and night by the Nalan family. As his master, I am suffering in my heart. So I would like to ask Senior Bai Rong to help me pass on a message to the Nalan family.”
Bai Rong frowned slightly upon hearing this, but still nodded, "Speak, what is it?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xuan spoke slowly and viciously, “If you dare to continue torturing my disciple Jiang Linglong, I will activate the Soul Devouring Curse to torment your three tribal prodigies day and night. If you dare to kill my disciple and slaughter my people, I will dare to kill your three prodigies and annihilate the entire Nalan clan. I will extract their souls and refine their spirits, so that they may never be reincarnated!”
Hearing Chen Xuan's chillingly insidious words, and the unwavering determination he displayed, even Bai Rong, a Void Immortal, was shaken.
"Good lad, you've got guts!" Bai Rong rarely admired someone, especially a junior, so he immediately agreed.
"Thank you, senior." Chen Xuan didn't expect Bai Rong to agree so readily; he thought Bai Rong would be afraid of the Nalan clan's power and refuse to help.
"Hahaha, you don't understand, you don't understand at all." As one of the three high-ranking members in charge of the God-Slaying Guard, Bai Rong was more aware of the undercurrents within the Xuanxiao Royal Family. Of course, if the Nalan clan was favored by His Majesty, he would naturally not help Chen Xuan.
"By the way, senior, I wish to take on a mission to capture wanted criminals by a level four or even a level five God-Slaying Guard... I wonder if you could help me?" Chen Xuan immediately revealed another plan he was currently preparing.
