CHAPTER 279: CHAPTER 275: THIS MONEY IS WELL-SPENT!

"One hundred thousand taels!"

A deep voice sounded.

It was Chen Xuan!

The reason he joined in was because this woman made him feel comfortable, and since Luan Ying no longer served, he needed someone to attend to him.

Given the circumstances, why not choose a beauty?

At the very least, it’s pleasing to the eyes!

As for anything else... there really wasn’t any.

As soon as he spoke, he instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked at him curiously, wondering who this person was spending one hundred thousand taels on a woman.

Upon seeing it was a stranger who appeared to be a middle-aged man, they began to inquire.

But the result... all shook their heads, not knowing him!

On the third floor, Liu Si was shocked. He never expected Chen Xuan to speak up.

If he had known, he would have directly sent the woman to his room.

No need for this unnecessary act.

"Him, quickly!"

He immediately transmitted his voice to the beautiful woman below.

"What?"

The beautiful woman was visibly startled upon hearing his voice. After all, another spendthrift had appeared; with some maneuvering, the price could still rise significantly.

Because she noticed that Old Man Kong was in great dilemma at that moment.

But since Guard Liu had already spoken, she didn’t dwell on it.

So she quickly spoke up, "One hundred thousand taels, first call!"

"One hundred thousand taels, second call!"

She paused slightly.

"One hundred thousand taels, third call! Sold!"

"Congratulations, congratulations on winning the beauty!"

The beautiful woman smiled as she offered her congratulations towards Chen Xuan’s direction.

Of course, it wasn’t just her. Many others also nodded with a smile towards him.

Chen Xuan responded with nods to each of them.

No doubt, the feeling of spending so lavishly was truly pleasing.

Also, these people were of good character, undoubtedly all from wealthy families. Though spendthrifts, their virtues were unquestionable.

Even Old Man Kong, though his expression wasn’t great, also slightly nodded towards him.

Chen Xuan cupped his hands towards everyone,

"Everyone, I’ll head upstairs first. Have fun!"

"Looks like you’re in a hurry, brother!"

"If it were me, I’d already be in the room!"

"Hahaha..."

A burst of laughter erupted, but being men, they all showed understanding expressions.

...

Back in the room afterward.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged on the bed.

After a little mischief, his mood improved a lot.

However, he didn’t rush into cultivation.

After a moment, a knocking sound was heard.

"Come in!"

Chen Xuan said softly.

The door creaked open, and the very beauty lowered her head as she walked in slowly.

"Greetings, sir!"

Her lips parted slightly, and her voice was clear and lively.

"Did Liu Si talk to you?"

Chen Xuan looked her up and down, a blue light flashing in his eyes.

"He instructed me. From now on, the little woman will exclusively serve you, sir."

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "What’s your name? Where are you from? Why are your eyes blue?"

He asked three questions in a row.

"In response to your inquiry, sir, my name is Lan Meng’Er, from Jiang Village, a very remote place. Many people there are like me. As for why that is, the village elders say it’s a gift from the heavens!"

"Oh!"

So that’s it.

Part of the reason Chen Xuan spent such a large sum of money was because she bore a resemblance to the people from the Western Border in his previous life.

It made him feel a sense of familiarity.

"How did you come to be here?"

Chen Xuan was genuinely curious how Qin Ke had managed to gather so many beauties.

After all, each of them was a virgin.

Being so beautiful and still maintaining that status was rare in this world.

Instantly, Lan Meng’Er’s expression turned to one of terror, and she began to tremble slightly.

Chen Xuan didn’t disturb her, guessing in his heart that she must be someone who had suffered greatly.

After a long time.

Lan Meng’Er slowly opened her mouth, "Forgive me, sir."

Chen Xuan waved his hand, "It’s okay, go ahead!"

"Hmm!" Lan Meng’Er nodded, took a deep breath, and then said, "One day, a massive chasm suddenly appeared in the sky over the village, with flashing lightning and thunder."

"At that time, the villagers were terrified, thinking it was the heavens punishing us."

"We all knelt to the ground, pleading for the heavens not to be angry."

"Then, at that moment, nearly hundreds of people, all wearing identical black armor and holding spears, emerged from the black chasm!"

"The villagers thought they were envoys from the heavens!"

"But..."

At this point, Lan Meng’Er began trembling again, her eyes turning red.

"They were devils, enslaving the villagers, forbidding us from contacting the outside world. Anyone who complained was killed on the spot."

"They... they... were simply not human!"

"Wuwuwu..."

By now, she was weeping uncontrollably, unable to say another word.

Hundreds of people?

All wearing the same armor?

In an instant, Chen Xuan seemed to grasp something. Without worrying if she was crying, he hurriedly asked, "What about their leader? The one with the highest status!"

Afraid she didn’t understand, Chen Xuan explained it specifically.

Lan Meng’Er, sobbing, immediately replied, "That person... was terrifying, even those in armor... feared him!"

"They called him... Your Majesty!"

"Indeed!"

Chen Xuan thought to himself.

These people are from the Lower Realm; it must be that the realm is about to be destroyed, and they have fled to the Supreme Domain at the last moment.

"Wait!"

Chen Xuan suddenly remembered, since they are from the Lower Realm, might they have original stones in their hands?

The Nine Elements Dao Skill last time was successfully evolved due to the energy provided by the original stones.

Whether they have them or not, I must go and see. Currently, the Nine Elements Dao Skill is merely at the Profound Realm level of cultivation technique, and the Myriad Manifestation Skill has never been successfully evolved.

"Looks like I have to make a trip!"

He then looked at Lan Meng’Er, this hundred thousand taels were truly worth it.

Not only did he gain a beauty, but also this information.

"This hangout is truly his blessed land!"

He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. First, he discovered Luan Ying, a genius Spirit Cultivator, and now he received this information.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan asked about the specific location of her village and then let her leave.

...

The next day!

After explaining a few things to Ning Xin, Chen Xuan left Molan Mansion.

Such matters couldn’t be delayed.

Once those people leave the village, it would be difficult to find them later.

Utilizing his talent, he concealed his aura and hurried on his way using divine footwork.

A month later!

Chen Xuan arrived in a mountain range.

"Is this it?"

He muttered to himself, as it was already evening.

Spiritual power spread out, and tens of kilometers away, in a depression, there were hundreds of households.

At this moment, white smoke was emerging from the chimneys.

And at the entrance of the depression, there were two rows of armored people, just as Lan Meng’Er described, guarding it.

"Fortunately, they haven’t left!"

Chen Xuan was relieved, as it had been a year since Lan Meng’Er unexpectedly escaped and Qin Ke’s people discovered it.

This Emperor from the Lower Realm should be very cautious.

Or perhaps just afraid of dying!

After so long, he still shrunk in this place.

His figure disappeared from the spot and directly appeared in the sky above the village the next moment.

Spiritual power spread out, and he immediately found the Emperor of the Human Realm.

"Impressive power, Mid-Stage Immortal Grade!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

"Come out!"

He shouted, like a thunderclap reverberating above the village.

"Bold, who are you to dare act so brazenly again!"

An angry rebuke followed, with several figures rushing towards Chen Xuan’s position.

"Get down!"

Chen Xuan said lightly, and the next moment, like dumplings being dropped, these people fell one by one from the sky, pressed firmly to the ground, unable to even move a finger.

Mere martial artists of the first and second grade were nothing more than ants to him now.

But—

Chen Xuan shook his head.

Such a commotion, yet the Emperor from the Lower Realm has not shown up.

It seems he truly is a coward, greedy, and afraid of death.

Even... hoping for luck!

Inwardly, he couldn’t help but feel some disdain.

He then walked step by step from the sky towards a house, stopping three meters away from the door.

Slightly addressing inside, "Will you come out, or should I go in?"

Inside the house, a young man wearing a yellow dragon robe changed his expression, his eyes complexly looking at the door ahead.

"Huff—"

He exhaled deeply to calm himself down and walked towards the door.

"Creak!"

The door slowly opened.

He saw a middle-aged man smiling at him.

Step by step, he walked towards Chen Xuan, "Greetings, senior? Not sure what instructions senior has here."

Chen Xuan was somewhat surprised.

Very young!

This appearance is much younger than his, and... Mid-Stage Immortal Grade, but the foundation is poor, as if forcibly elevated to this realm.

"Which realm?"

Just four simple words!

The young Emperor’s expression instantly turned pale, looking at him incredulously.

"How is that possible?"

"How does he know I am from the Lower Realm?"

"I’ve been in the Supreme Domain for a long time, spiritual power has completely converted, how did this person find out?"

One speculation after another emerged.

He was confident he had no problems, thus he slowly opened his mouth to ask, "How did senior discover this?"

"I don’t like people questioning me."

Chen Xuan coldly rebuked, the smile on his face also vanished instantly.

Meanwhile, the aura surged, pressing upon him like a tidal wave.

"Thud!" Suddenly!

Under the immense pressure, the young Emperor was forced to kneel, unable to lift his head.

If not for his arms supporting him, he would have been crushed completely.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, then withdrew his aura the next moment.

Immediately the pressure on him vanished.

The young man gasped heavily, though it was merely a matter of breaths, yet sweat poured from him like rain.

Looking at Chen Xuan again, his eyes were full of terror.

Slowly standing up, he bent in salute and then managed to speak with difficulty, "I... I am from the Red Ridge Realm!"

"Since senior knows I am from the Lower Realm, you should also know that the World Spirit of my Red Ridge Realm is exhausted, the realm has been destroyed, and I brought these people here to survive temporarily."

At this moment, he was extremely sorrowful.

He, a dignified Emperor of a realm, never anticipated such a fate.

"Ha!"

Chen Xuan laughed coldly, "Speaking of yourself so pitifully, compared to you, the ordinary people in this village are even more pitiful!"
