Yuan San and Cao Zhi’an were now truly infuriated, their anger boiling due to Yang Chen’s words, as well as Yuan Shanmen’s heated refutations. They were left with nothing to say. Where could they get their hands on a treasure key? Even if they did, were they stupid to sell it for 50 million Spirit Stones?
“Yang Chen, just name your price and cut the nonsense,” Yuan San could only speak through gritted teeth at this point.
Yang Chen waved his hand dismissively: “Elder Yuan, you can think about it yourself. If you cannot come up with something of equivalent value, then I really have nothing I want to compare with your Sun Star City. It’s too tiring.”
“Bastard!” Yuan San was on the verge of exploding.
If it weren’t for the treaties between major powers, and the fact that North Mountain County was a Demonic Beast Borderland, he would have already taken Sun Star City and wiped out Yuan Shanmen in a fit of rage. However, it seemed as if Yang Chen had grasped these intricacies perfectly, allowing him to be infuriated without being able to do anything about the situation.
As Yuan San’s rage intensified, Cao Zhi’an on the side could barely handle it. He pointed at Yang Chen and said coldly: “Yang Chen, why bother with so much nonsense? I think you’re just too scared.”
Yang Chen laughed.
He was quite amused, and his tone suddenly became icy cold: “Your name is Cao Zhi’an? Great, since you say I’m scared, let me tell you what it means to be scared. I don’t even mind your Sun Star City sending someone from my generation to fight me, but do you think I’m so stupid that I would repeatedly let you take advantage of me? Cao Zhi’an, you’re twenty-five or twenty-six years old, a full ten years older than me, Yang Chen. Why should I suffer such a disadvantage?”
In all honesty, if it came down to a fight, Yang Chen wouldn’t really be scared of Cao Zhi’an with all the hidden cards he had up his sleeve. However, those cards were to be used when he entered the Treasure Secret Realm, not now.
If he used them now, he wouldn’t have anything left for later.
“You’re saying I’m scared? Then let me tell you what it means to be scared. Right now, I, Yang Chen, challenge all the geniuses of your Sun Star City who are in the same generation as me. I’ll just sit right here. If any genius under the age of twenty from your Sun Star City can defeat me, I’ll hand over this treasure key at any time.”
Yang Chen didn’t hesitate at all: “Elder Yuan, I’m asking you if you dare or not. I can let all the geniuses from your Sun Star City under the age of twenty come and fight me one by one. As long as you dare, I’ll accompany you at any time!”
Yuan San’s face was tense, and he was unable to say a word.
Meanwhile, the geniuses of Yuan Shanmen became even more excited and fired up by Yang Chen’s words, and they immediately pointed at Yuan San and shouted, “Do you dare?”
“Do you dare?”
Their thunderous voices resounded, boosting the momentum of Yuan Shanmen.
There was a moment of silence.
Yuan San did not dare to accept the challenge.
If Yang Chen could really be dealt with by geniuses of the same generation, why would he have brought Cao Zhi’an along?
Seeing the mix of rage on Cao Zhi’an and Yuan San’s faces, Yang Chen didn’t mind adding fuel to the fire: “You call me a coward, so I’m offering you another option. As long as you, Cao Zhi’an, suppress your Martial Arts Cultivation to the same level as mine, then fine, I, Yang Chen, will compare with you. If I win, I don’t want much, just 50 million Spirit Stones. If I lose, I’ll immediately hand over the treasure and Spirit Stones! With your Origin Martial Realm cultivation level coming to deal with a Spirit Martial Realm like me, Cao Zhi’an, you’re truly imposing.”
Yang Chen did not feel that it would be difficult to deal with an opponent who had the same level of cultivation as him.
As Cao Zhi’an watched Yang Chen provoke him in this way, he could no longer contain himself and was about to confront Yang Chen head-on.
But soon Yuan San stepped in, stopping him: “Let’s go.”
“Elder Yuan, this can’t be right,” Cao Zhi’an protested loudly.
Yuan San did not bother explaining more and dragged Cao Zhi’an away with him.
He was worried that if Cao Zhi’an really agreed to Yang Chen’s terms, others might not see it, but he was old and had a high level of vision. How could he not see through it? If Cao Zhi’an lowered his cultivation level, he might not have much chance of winning against Yang Chen. At the very least, he was not absolutely sure that Cao Zhi’an could easily crush a Half-step Yuan Martial Realm with his Ling Wu Realm Peak Cultivation Level!
“Elder Yuan, our goal is the Treasure Key. Now you’re leaving without even seeing the shadow of the Treasure Key. How can this be?” Cao Zhi’an insisted, unwilling to give up yet.
“Zhi’an, it’s not that simple. The reason why I challenged Yang Chen just now was just to try my luck. Why do you think the other forces in Luo Yun’s Main City are so calm? They didn’t mention anything about the treasure key. Why is that?” Yuan San said solemnly.
Only then did Cao Zhi’an recall that the Treasure Key was so precious, yet it seemed that only they had come to snatch it. The other forces had remained silent on the matter.
“Elder Yuan, why is that?” Cao Zhi’an couldn’t help but ask.
Yuan San whispered: “Isn’t it obvious? The treasure is divided into the inner and outer areas. This entrance leads to the outer area. It is so vast that it is impossible to know how long it would take to enter the inner area. Over such a long period, do you think Yang Chen will keep this Treasure Key safe? Once everyone enters, they all have a chance.”
“So, you mean that Yang Chen holding the Treasure Key now is actually not a good thing?” Cao Zhi’an suddenly realized.
“Without the strength, what’s the use of having the key?” Yuan San stood there with his hands behind his back and sneered, “After we enter the secret realm, it’s not too late to settle the score with him!”
“I understand. When the time comes, I will show him my full capabilities,” Cao Zhi’an cracked his neck.
As Yuan San left with a crestfallen expression, the disciples within the Yuan Shanmen laughed heartily. At the same time, Yang Chen received a sound transmission from Mù Báish?ng and arrived at the location of the sect’s high-level members, which was not far from where the disciples were, but the disciples were unaware of this.
Mù Báish?ng and the others were not here to enter the Treasure Secret Realm, as they couldn’t get in either. They stayed here just in case any problems arose with their junior disciples. Although they hadn’t stepped in earlier, if Yang Chen had really suffered a setback, they would not hesitate to intervene.
Yang Chen was well aware of these details. At this moment, when he arrived at the mountain pass where Mù Báish?ng and others were, he saw some unfamiliar faces among them and immediately greeted them: “Junior Yang Chen pays his respects to the Sect Leader and all the seniors of the sect.”
In addition to Mù Báish?ng, Yang Chen saw several unfamiliar faces. The cultivation levels and Qi of these strangers were all impressive, and with Yang Chen’s keen eye, he naturally recognized that these elders held high positions within the Yuan Shanmen.
Mù Báish?ng also noticed Yang Chen’s curiosity and chuckled, “Yang Chen, I guess you’re not aware of some things since you just joined Yuan Shanmen. You haven’t met these guys before, so let me introduce them to you. These three are our Yuan Shanmen’s Supreme Elders! Just like me, they’ve all reached the True Martial Realm.”
