Chapter 631

The group of nine went straight to the place where Zi Chen had been stationed. After arriving, they announced that they were looking for Zi Chen.

Zi Chen was still fighting and was not there. He arranged for people to politely invite these people into his room and then sent someone to report to Zi Chen.

Retreating five hundred thousand miles and stationing five hundred thousand miles was Zi Chen's bottom line. Within this range, he sent out all the experts and used all his combat power. Even the wild wolves that were guarding the teleportation array were called back to fight.

Under the full force of Zi Chen's strength, which had wiped out Dan Yuan's army several times, was fully displayed. For a time, the Flying Army of the major factions began to crumble and retreat. After knowing his weakness, Zi Chen did not order his people to pursue. Instead, he continued to station himself here.

Before he recruited more Flying Army, he did not plan to continue expanding his forces.

Two days later, Zi Chen returned after the major forces were forced to retreat again and again and stabilized the situation.

However, he found that his subordinates, who usually looked at him with respect, were looking at him strangely today. Moreover, their faces were filled with an inexplicable fanaticism and worship.

The obvious change in their expressions made Zi Chen very confused.

"Where are the people who are looking for me?" Zi Chen asked.

"They have been taken away by the Madam," Dan Yuan, who came to welcome Zi Chen, said respectfully.

"Madam? What Madam?" Zi Chen asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's the Pavilion Master's wife, Miss Xian 'er. She just called them away." Dan Yuan suddenly smiled.

"Who are they? Did Qin Xing and Qin He bring them here?" Zi Chen asked again.

"No, I heard that they are from the Overlord Faction," Dan Yuan replied.

It had been a long time since the Overlord Faction last exchanged. Calculating the time, they should have gathered the second batch of materials and come to exchange.

Zi Chen nodded and asked where they were going. After Dan Yuan told him, Zi Chen left.

Looking at Zi Chen's departing figure, Dan Yuan hesitated. In the end, he didn't say anything and turned to leave as well.

Dan Yuan informed Xian`er that he had brought them to his residence. This made Zi Chen very puzzled. At the same time, he was trying to guess who these overlords were.

His first guess was that it was Shangguan Bing Xi. Among the Overlords, she seemed to only know one of them. However, it did not make sense for her to call all of them away just because she knew one.

Hence, Zi Chen walked towards Wang Xian 'er's residence with doubts in his mind.

At the entrance of Xian 'er's residence, Zi Chen saw the other transcendent powers. However, out of the nine that came, he only saw five of them.

Surprisingly, there was a familiar face among the five people. It was Shangguan Bing Xi's father, Shangguan Fei Xiong.

"Did Bing Xi really come?"

Zi Chen guessed in his heart and went up to them. Just as he was about to greet Shangguan Fei Xiong, he saw Shangguan Fei Xiong waving his hand and gesturing for him to keep quiet.

Zi Chen was puzzled. He walked up to Shangguan Fei Xiong and stood with them. When the other four saw Zi Chen, they smiled awkwardly as a form of greeting.

"Look at you guys. You don't have the figure or the looks. Even your strength is so weak. You don't even have the qualifications to be a vase. How dare you come here to show off?"

Just as Zi Chen stood up, he heard Wang Xian 'er's voice from the room.

"You, look at you. How old are you? You're only in the early stage of the Zephyr Realm."

"And you, your face is so white. Are you here to seduce people?"

In the room, Wang Xian 'er seemed to be scolding others. She kept talking, but there was no rebuttal.

"What's going on?" Zi Chen asked softly.

Shangguan Fei Xiong laughed but didn't say anything. Zi Chen looked at the other four again, and they lowered their heads awkwardly.

"Hmph, let me tell you. Zi Chen won't like vases like you. He likes useful people. Useful people like me, beautiful and talented." Wang Xian 'er snorted angrily in the room.

Zi Chen was even more puzzled when he heard this. However, he knew that this had something to do with him.

Naturally, the overlords were here to trade. The five of them represented the five overlords. Since they were all here, Zi Chen called them to the side.

Zi Chen invited the five of them to the living room in his room and poured tea for them. The other four stood up and thanked him.

"Senior, congratulations on your breakthrough." Zi Chen was the first to speak after putting down his teacup.

"You can even kill a Middle Stage Elixir Realm cultivator. If I don't breakthrough soon, I will be suppressed by you in the future." Shangguan Fei Xiong laughed.

"Senior, what are you saying? We can suppress anyone, but we can't suppress Senior." Zi Chen also laughed.

"Speaking of the breakthrough, I haven't specially thanked you for saving Bing Xi before this. Furthermore, I was able to break through because of the resources you gave to Bing Xi. Shangguan Feixiong owes you a lot."

"Senior, please don't say that. Bing Xi and I are friends. It's only right for me to help a friend."

Zi Chen and Shangguan Feixiong chatted like this while the other four listened and laughed along with them.

"By the way, Senior, what was going on in the room just now? Who was Xian 'er talking to?" Zi Chen asked.

"Haha, you mean just now." Shangguan Fei Xiong couldn't help but laugh again.

After that, he explained to Zi Chen.

It turned out that before they left, the other four Patriarchs heard Zi Chen mention Shangguan Yue 'er in front of him. Therefore, Zi Chen gave them an extra drop of blood essence. They were all smart people and naturally knew why. Therefore, they came up with the same plan.

Therefore, when they came this time, they specifically instructed the four of them to choose the youngest and most beautiful girl in the clan with the most potential to be sent to Zi Chen. Obviously, they thought that Zi Chen was a romantic and unrestrained person, and was in the prime of his youth, so they were quite fond of this.

Indeed, after a round of selection, the four Patriarchs brought the youngest and prettiest girl in the family. However, after waiting for two days, Zi Chen didn't come. Instead, they saw Wang Xian 'er, who came back early.

Wang Xian 'er was very suspicious of the sudden appearance of four beautiful girls. She was on her guard. However, after she asked, the four Patriarchs said confidently that they were Zi Chen's wives.

Therefore, their words completely enraged Wang Xian 'er. She had never called herself the Pavilion Master's wife and this was the first time she used this title. Then, she called them away.

As for the other five Patriarchs, they were worried that Wang Xian 'er would do something to them. Therefore, they followed her to the door.

"Haha, Zi Chen, your wife is not bad. She should be Wang Xian 'er, right? I've always heard from Bing Xi that she's tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She's as beautiful as a fairy. Now that I've met her, she's indeed extraordinary."

Zi Chen rubbed his nose and smiled apologetically. Then, he looked at the other four Patriarchs and said, "Your Patriarchs must have misunderstood. I've known Yue 'er for a long time and we're friends."

The four Patriarchs quickly stood up and apologized, "We were rash in this matter."

"Zi Chen, you're no longer the same as before. Many of the higher-ups of the forces can recite your deeds backwards. Of course, they know about your relationship with Yue 'er. However, they're unwilling to accept it and want to take this opportunity to become in-laws with you." Shangguan Fei Xiong laughed loudly again.

The four Patriarchs quickly explained that they weren't.

As a result, the slightly tense atmosphere from before also eased up, and the four of them were no longer as nervous as before.

After the atmosphere had calmed down, it was time for the exchange of items.

The five Patriarchs handed over a list of materials that were densely packed together.

Zi Chen looked at the list that they handed over. He was satisfied with the materials on the list. Since he was bored, he casually asked why the Patriarchs weren't here.

They replied that the Patriarchs had gone into seclusion the last time they returned.

Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. It was obvious that they were in seclusion to refine the Blood Essence to improve their strength.

The reason why both parties could maintain such an equal relationship was because they were wary of the Patriarchs. However, if they were to achieve a breakthrough in their strength, the relationship might change.

It would change from an equal partnership to a hostile one.

The worry in Zi Chen's heart disappeared in a flash. After all, the Patriarchs' fighting power was very strong. He had once faced eight people of the same level and killed two of them. It wasn't a baseless boast.

It was obvious that the five Overlords had made sufficient preparations for the exchange. They had probably taken out all the materials that they could get. Out of the forty-one drops of Blood Essence that they had exchanged, the remaining fifty-nine drops of Blood Essence were all exchanged.

Of course, the materials that they had taken out for the formation were enough to satisfy Zi Chen in terms of both quality and quantity.

The four Overlords had exchanged eleven drops of Blood Essence each and the remaining fifteen drops were all exchanged by Shangguan Feixiong. Of course, this didn't rule out the possibility that Zi Chen had purposely gone easy on them. Shangguan Feixiong's motive for coming this time should be to go easy on someone he was familiar with.

After successfully exchanging the items, the Patriarchs naturally didn't stay any longer and bade farewell. Of course, when they left, they brought their own people with them.

It had to be said that the four beauties that the Overlords had carefully selected were all pretty good. Their figures were slim, their skin was like jade, and they were young and beautiful. They were completely different from what Wang Xian 'er had described in the room previously.

"You are so reluctant to part with them. Could it be that you still want them to stay?" Wang Xian 'er's voice sounded from behind Zi Chen.

"Am I reluctant to part with them?" Zi Chen turned his head and laughed.

"No? Your eyes are about to pop out." Wang Xian 'er pouted.

"Am I? I am just sending Senior Shangguan off with my eyes."

"Hmph, you are quibbling."

"Do I still need to quibble? They don't have the figures and I didn't even see their faces. They don't have the strength either. What do I want them for? To be a vase?"

Zi Chen looked at Wang Xian 'er and said glibly, "Even if I want a vase, I only want you."

"You mean that I am a useless vase?"

"Of course not. You are the most useful vase."

"Then you are still a vase."

Wang Xian 'er was in a good mood and her jealousy disappeared in this noisy way of communication that was exclusive to young couples.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two of them walked into Zi Chen's room hand in hand.

The sky was getting dark and there were only two people in the room. In such a situation where a man and a woman were alone in a room, it seemed like something was going to happen.
