CHAPTER 1692: CHAPTER 1692: WHOEVER CAUSED THE TROUBLE MUST FIX IT!

Everyone’s gaze instantly focused on Iron Colter’s face, waiting for his next move.

Iron Colter’s face turned red, and beads of sweat seemed to form on his forehead. With a flustered look, he bowed and said, "I did not realize the Immortal Palace Envoy was present. I have offended you before, please forgive my rudeness!"

Carson Flores put the token away and calmly asked, "Do you still want the True Solar Fire?"

Iron Colter felt as if he had been slapped loudly again. With everyone watching, he was intensely humiliated inside, but what could he do about it?

Could he still dare to flare up?

If the Celestial Palace were angered, the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect would be obliterated!

Not only could this Deputy Sect Master not bear the responsibility, but even the Sect Master couldn’t withstand it!

Whoever caused the trouble should be the one to make amends!

No matter how aggrieved Iron Colter felt, he had to put on a forced smile, bow, and say, "Envoy Flores, you’re joking. Clayton Gross came from the outside realm and isn’t a member of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect. The treasures he left behind are for those who are destined to have them. Previously, I was presumptuous and offended you. I ask the Envoy to consider our ignorance of your esteemed status, as ignorance is no fault."

"The Envoy saved the disciples of our Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect. Please come to our Sect to let us show our hospitality."

Carson Flores sneered, "The waters of your Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect run too deep for me to venture. I’m afraid if I go, I might vanish completely, body and soul alike."

Iron Colter awkwardly replied, "You’re joking, Envoy Flores. Even if our Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect had a hundred guts, we wouldn’t dare entertain any improper intentions towards the Immortal Palace Envoy."

Carson Flores said indifferently, "I won’t go to the Sect. I only came to see what was left behind in this Cave Mansion. I’ve finished exploring and am ready to leave."

Iron Colter was quite apprehensive when he saw Carson Flores not going to the Sect.

Right now, Carson Flores might not say anything, but once he returns to the Celestial Palace and says something to the acting Domain Master Alfred Weaver, what if Alfred Weaver wanted to assert some authority and cause trouble for the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect?

"Envoy Flores, please stay!"

Iron Colter approached a bit closer, respectfully saying, "May we speak in private?"

Carson Flores looked at Iron Colter, expressionless.

Iron Colter bowed, his gaze slightly pleading.

Carson Flores averted his gaze and said calmly, "Follow me then!"

Iron Colter breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, "Alright!"

Carson Flores turned to Aiden Roth with a slight smile, "Farewell."

Aiden Roth nodded, "Until we meet again."

Carson Flores nodded, "Are you going to the Heavenly Discourse Gathering?"

Aiden Roth’s eyes brightened slightly, "Naturally, I will go."

Carson Flores smiled and said, "Then let’s meet at the Heavenly Discourse Gathering!"

Aiden Roth laughed heartily, "Alright, it’s a deal. We’ll be sure to meet!"

"Great!"

Carson Flores, with two women, turned and flew outward, with Iron Colter hurrying to keep up.

The four of them quickly distanced themselves, only coming to a stop once they were far from the lake, and outside the formation range of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect. Carson Flores finally landed on a mountaintop.

"What do you want to say?"

Iron Colter had already thought it through during the first stretch of their walk. He had to completely quell the impact this incident had on the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect.

Other people’s rumors didn’t scare the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect, but he feared the attitudes of the Celestial Palace!

Maybe the Celestial Palace wouldn’t care, but what if they did?

What was the relationship between Carson Flores and Alfred Weaver?

One was young and handsome, and the other young and beautiful. What if they were a couple?

If the man suffered a loss here, would the woman not find a way to restore his dignity?

After much thought, Iron Colter decided to admit defeat and offer an apology.

Since he’d already lowered his stance, he didn’t mind bowing a little deeper. After all, bowing to the Celestial Palace was nothing to be ashamed of!

Iron Colter folded his fists and bowed, "I, Iron Colter, Deputy Sect Master of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect, once again apologize for my previous rash behavior. I was blinded by the treasure and committed foolish acts, disregarding honor. I ask Envoy Flores for forgiveness."

Carson Flores calmly said, "If it weren’t for my status as an Envoy, I fear leaving here safely today would have been difficult indeed."

Iron Colter gritted his teeth and, with a flick of his hand, produced a box. He looked at the box with pained reluctance and offered it with both hands.

"This is a Thousand-Year Purple Polygonum. Consuming it can greatly enhance one’s strength. I obtained it by chance during a Secret Realm adventure. I had originally planned to consume it after breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal stage. Today I have offended Envoy Flores, and I wish to use it to apologize. Please, Envoy, overlook a petty person’s mistake and forget today’s unpleasantness."

Thousand-Year Purple Polygonum?

Carson Flores’s eyes lit up; this was indeed a good thing!

As Iron Colter said, this item was almost entirely composed of pure Immortal Spirit Qi. It didn’t even need to be refined into an elixir to be tremendously effective, making it a rare top-grade Immortal Elixir.

Not only in the Earth Immortal stage, but even at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, consuming a Thousand-Year Purple Polygonum could still enhance one’s strength!

Iron Colter actually offered it to make amends, which was a gain for Carson Flores.

Carson Flores reached out for the box, opened it to confirm that it indeed contained the Thousand-Year Purple Polygonum, and then closed the box.

"I’ve already forgotten what happened today. Sect Master Iron, perhaps you could remind me..."
