Chapter 1451
After a short period of recovery, the three Nalan heroes, whose souls had been restrained, regained some of their senses. Upon learning that they were in the Wanbaoshan headquarters they used to frequent, the three felt extremely humiliated and looked at the Nalan clan's wandering immortal present with tears in their eyes.
"Hmph, the foundation that my Nalan clan has built up over countless years has been stolen by your disciple in a single day. Such a loss, let alone just torturing and killing a few of your clansmen, even if you slaughtered them all, so what?" The old man breathed a heavy sigh of relief, because Chen Xuan, through soul searching, was unable to discover that the carp spirit had stolen the Dragon Transformation Elixir, which was exclusive to the royal family.
“You’re right. If that’s the case, then the Nalan clan is my mortal enemy, Chen Xuan’s enemy. You captured my disciple and killed my clansmen because your Nalan clan has power.” Chen Xuan stared at the Nalan clan’s rogue immortal and shouted, “And that day, I used my friend’s power to suppress your clansmen and torture them day and night in the Ancient Immortal Road Secret Realm. Why did you show yourself to question me then?”
"You, junior, are courting death!"
Being slapped in the face by Chen Xuan's own words in his face enraged the black-robed elder—who among the younger generation had ever dared to insult him like that?
Everyone who had gathered to watch finally understood: Chen Xuan was able to suppress the three heroes of the Nalan clan because he had borrowed external forces. Immediately, everyone's opinion of Chen Xuan weakened further, and some even became indifferent to him.
Chen Xuan's actions were a smokescreen for the Nalan clan, making them believe that he was unlikely to achieve great things and would not pose a threat to them in the future.
"Looking for death? You dare to kill me, just try it!" With the head of Wanbaoshan headquarters backing him up, what did Chen Xuan have to fear? He immediately took a few steps to the window, only a few meters away from Nalan Clan's wandering immortal. Looking at Chen Xuan's posture, if the distance wasn't too great, he would have wanted to reach out and slap the old man's face.
Such a terrifying scene unfolded—that was a rogue immortal nearing the end of his life, who might fight to the death if enraged!
The old man trembled violently with anger at Chen Xuan, his aura fluctuating wildly.
The white-haired old man standing behind Chen Xuan frowned when he saw Chen Xuan's behavior.
However, he knew that he was perfectly in line with the wishes of the Heavenly Fox Ancestor, who was the Emperor's absolute confidant. The Ancestor's attitude towards the Nalan clan, if thought about deeply, might be the Emperor's attitude towards the Nalan clan.
It's not a solution to keep making trouble in front of the younger generation of the three thousand feudal lords.
"Gentlemen, why don't you give me some face and let each of you back down?" The white-robed elder frowned, and finally stepped forward to shout, "Disciple Chen Xuan accidentally triggered the magic array to steal the Nalan clan's treasure. It was an unintentional act, and she has already received the punishment she deserved. Many of her clansmen have even died because of it."
Upon hearing this, the Nalan Clan Immortal's face grew even uglier—since the Nalan Clan was granted the fiefdom, when had he ever suffered such humiliation, having to compromise with a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?
"As for young friend Chen Xuan, regardless of the circumstances, it was your disciple who stole someone else's treasure. The disciple suffered calamity and his clansmen died; it is a cycle of cause and effect. Why don't you hand over the souls of the three heroes of the Nalan clan today, and let the Nalan clan release your disciple? In this way, neither of you will owe the other anything?"
"Impossible!" the Nalan Clan Immortal immediately retorted. "What right does a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator have to negotiate with my Nalan Clan?"
Chen Xuan immediately refused, and looked at the white-robed elder respectfully, saying, "Senior, please have him tell me what treasures my disciple stole from the Nalan clan, and I will make up for it. But the Nalan clan must give an explanation for the torment my disciple suffered for more than ten years, and for the clansmen who were forcibly killed by soul-searching!"
As soon as Chen Xuan said this, a clear gasp of astonishment echoed throughout the Wanbaoshan Auction House.
It's understandable that the Nalan clan wouldn't agree to reconciliation—after all, they had three Celestial Immortal ancestors. Even though their family had declined over 100,000 years, they wouldn't negotiate with a young Nascent Soul Realm junior in a public conflict.
However, Chen Xuan's refusal was the real reason that shocked everyone: Putting aside whether you can repay what the Nalan clan regards as a treasure, just the fact that you, a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, dare to demand justice from the Nalan clan, a behemoth that has been rooted for over 100,000 years.
Is this person crazy?
Many young people looked at Chen Xuan with complicated expressions: some were shocked, some were amused, but most were scornful and disdainful.
"Such impulsiveness, this boy will hardly amount to anything in the future." Xuanxiao Ziling watched Chen Xuan offend the Nalan clan step by step and sneered.
"A mere primordial spirit dares to negotiate with my Nalan clan?" Although Nalan Mingyue had her own ideas, she needed to rely on the clan's power to rise and transcend. At this moment, seeing someone insult the clan's prestige, her eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"You, you all!!" Rejected by both sides, the white-robed elder roared, "Since you refuse my mediation, then leave Wanbaoshan headquarters immediately! This is not a place for you to run wild!"
Seeing the white-robed elder's anger, Chen Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Since senior has spoken, Chen Xuan can give senior face - I agree to use the souls of the three heroes of Nalan in my possession to exchange for my disciple Jiang Linglong."
"Impossible! You junior, don't even think about making the Nalan clan bow down to you!" Chen Xuan never expected that the cultivation world valued the prestige of clans so much, and all his plans had failed.
Since things had come to this point, Chen Xuan said no more. He pulled on the three soul-capturing chains in his hand and sneered at the souls of the three people: "Do you see? The so-called three heroes of the Nalan clan are not even worth dog shit under the tribe's empty reputation."
"Young man, today you must preserve the soul of my tribe's prodigy!" Seeing that Chen Xuan had given up on the conversation and was about to suppress the soul of his tribesman again, the black-robed elder immediately rebuked him.
Chen Xuan had been waiting for this moment. He looked up at the white-robed elder and said, "Senior, and everyone here has seen it—the Nalan clan disagreed with the mediation; and when I left with my spoils, they still tried to stop me?"
“I’m telling you, old coffin-stuffer, let’s not even talk about the Nalan clan not being the rulers of this world. Even His Majesty is reasonable with the lords under his rule! Otherwise, how could His Majesty’s word be law and his orders be obeyed without question? What, is your Nalan clan more powerful than the supreme Emperor?”
"Pfft!" "Cough cough cough -- How dare you, junior, treat an immortal so disrespectfully..." "This kid is a real troublemaker!" "Hahaha, I've never heard of a junior daring to call an immortal 'old coffin stuffer' to their face!"
Chen Xuan launched into a tirade of insults, causing strange noises to erupt throughout Wanbaoshan: those tribal immortals who were not afraid of the Nalan clan, such as the Beishan clan and the Cangtian clan, laughed heartily without any attempt to hide their laughter.
Meanwhile, the representatives of the minor vassal kings who were associated with or feared the power of the Nalan clan coughed dryly to cover their discomfort.
