Chapter 865

Gu He was very concerned about this matter. On one hand, it was because of the powerful Sword Sect, and on the other hand, it was because of Zi Chen.

Although Zi Chen didn't have any power, his combat strength was extremely powerful. It was said that he could kill a Xiantian realm martial artist. Even if someone from a large power saw Zi Chen, they would still be somewhat afraid.

After leaving behind these words, Gu He left, not bothering Zi Chen. The residence given to Zi Chen was a stand-alone villa. It was large and spacious enough, so Lei Ming and Xia Xin could stay here.

After the two heard about the inheritance treasure, they didn't have any intention of leaving.

The night passed peacefully, and no one came to find trouble with Wu Yu. The next morning, as soon as the sky brightened, Gu He arrived with two Houtian realm martial artists.

When Gu He arrived, Zi Chen was still cultivating, so he didn't disturb him. After all, no matter how fast they were going to meet, it would be noon.

When it was almost noon, Zi Chen finished cultivating and washed up. Then, the group of eight headed towards the Sword Sect's area.

In Heaven's Pride City, there was an extremely obvious reference to distinguish the strength of a power. That was the area and location of the base.

If the east of the city belonged to the Xiantian realm martial artists, then the south of the city belonged to the various powers.

If the base was large, then the power would naturally be large. This was because these powers had to spend essence liquid to purchase a base. Just a Heaven's Pride token to enter and leave the city cost a hundred drops of high-grade essence liquid. From this, one could guess the value of a large base.

The Sword Sect's base was very large, over a thousand square meters. There were fake mountains, gardens, small bridges, and flowing water. When Zi Chen's group arrived, they were led to the main hall by the Sword Sect's people.

Everywhere they passed, Zi Chen saw no less than thirty people from the Sword Sect. Moreover, each of them had a treasure sword on their back. Whether they were Houtian or Xiantian, the Sword Sect's people all had an arrogant air about them. This was the result of cultivating the Sword Sect's secret arts.

In the main hall, Zi Chen saw the person in charge of the Sword Sect this time. This was a young man in a blue robe. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking like an elegant scholar. He did not carry a long sword on his back.

When he saw Zi Chen and his group appear, he walked out of the hall and personally welcomed them. There were two other people in the hall. These two people were dressed like normal disciples of the Sword Faction. Their swords were on their backs, and when they saw Zi Chen and his group arrive, they only stood up.

Sect Master Jian greeted Gu He in advance, then his gaze landed on Zi Chen. Among the group, Zi Chen was clearly the leader.

"Brother Shinobu, let me introduce you. This is Zi Chen."

"Zi Chen, this is Kennin."

Gu He introduced them to each other.

The corner of Zi Chen's mouth twitched. "Hello, Brother Bitch."

The Sword Ninja was stunned for a moment before he said, "Brother Zi Chen, you're too polite. My sword is the Sword Sect's Sword, the Ninja from the Ninja Path."

Zi Chen nodded and was even more polite. "Oh, it's Brother Shinobu."

"Zi Chen, please come in. Friends, please come in," the Sword Ninja invited. He seemed very easy-going.

Zi Chen nodded politely.

The group walked into the main hall. The two Sword Sect Innates also stood up and nodded slightly as a greeting. Arrogance was a must for disciples of the Sword Sect. It was said that the Sword Sect's Sword Dao they cultivated was the Sword of Endurance. An easy-going disciple like the Sword Sect's Sword Ninja was considered an exception.

"Brother Zi Chen, your name is very familiar. I seem to have heard of it somewhere." The two were still chatting when they walked into the main hall. The Sword Ninja was very easy-going.

Gu He heard him and said, "It's that Zi Chen whose fame spread from the Ancient Road of Wuba more than ten years ago."

A strange light flashed in the Sword Ninja's eyes. He said, "Could it be that Zi Chen who killed Qin Li in one breath, and then killed Lan Lang and He Ze from the Lan Family?"

Zi Chen smiled and admitted it.

The Sword Ninja's expression immediately changed. Even the two arrogant Sword Sect Xiantian Lords looked at Zi Chen with less arrogance on their faces.

On the Ancient Road of Trials, almost ninety percent of the Innates had their own clan. The death of every Innates was a big deal.

The news of the Lan Family, He Family, and Qin Family's Innates being killed had spread more than ten years ago. However, only a few core members knew about it. The others only knew that Zi Chen had killed Innates, but they didn't know who he had killed.

"Brother Zi Chen is very famous. I've always wanted to see Brother Zi Chen's glory. I didn't expect to see it today. It's a blessing of three lifetimes."

The atmosphere was very harmonious as they chatted. After the maid served tea and snacks, they began to talk about business. Having a maid here was also a proof of strength.

The Sword Ninja sat in the main seat and asked directly, "Brother Zi Chen, did you bring the thing?"

Zi Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said, "Yes."

"It's on me."

"Of course."

"Brother Zi Chen, you're really confident."

The Sword Ninja put down the teacup he had just picked up and looked at Zi Chen. "Brother Zi Chen, can you let me take a look at this thing?"

Zi Chen took out the jade piece that tempted many Innates and casually tossed it to the Sword Ninja.

Just by looking at it, the Sword Ninja knew that Zi Chen wasn't fooling him. The other clans' jade pieces were the same. The Sword Ninja had seen it before. After using his spiritual sense, he saw the strange patterns on the jade piece and was even more certain that it was one of the six jade pieces.

Fiddling with the jade piece in his hand, the Sword Ninja said, "Yes, it's real."

After a pause, the Sword Ninja said, "Then leave it with me first. I'll contact the other five clans and inform Brother Zi Chen."

"Leave it with you." Zi Chen looked at the Sword Ninja.

"Yes."

The Sword Ninja nodded. "Brother Zi Chen, you can rest assured. Although this thing is precious, it's not as good as the Sword Sect's reputation. I'll take it with me to find the other five clans. When I leave, I'll definitely inform Brother Zi Chen."

"Why should I believe you?" Zi Chen asked.

"The Sword Sect's reputation isn't enough." The Sword Ninja retorted.

Zi Chen sneered. "The Sword Sect? I only heard about it yesterday. Do you think I should believe in a sect that I just heard about yesterday?"

The Sword Ninja was stunned and then frowned.

"Zi Chen, you better know what's good for you. Today, you'll have to keep this jade piece even if you don't want to." The Xiantian martial artist named Jian Lu shouted coldly and then stood up.

At the same time, Jian Xin also stood up and an aura rose around him. Jian Lu and Jian Xin were introduced by the Sword Ninja just now. All the disciples of the Sword Sect had the word "Sword" before they entered the sect.

"What? Do you want to fight?" Zi Chen glanced at the two coldly.

"Brother Zi Chen, I hope you won't make things difficult for me." The Sword Ninja also spoke.

"Taking my things and making things difficult for you? Haha, the Sword Sect is really extraordinary."

Zi Chen laughed and his eyes became colder. "I, Zi Chen, once said that whoever touches my resources is equivalent to taking my life. I won't let anyone who wants to take my life go. Fighting is not allowed in Tianjiao City. I wonder if you have taken the necessary measures."

Zi Chen's voice was cold. Just as he stood up, beside Zi Chen, Xia Xin, Lei Ming, Yan Laosan, and Wu Yu had already stood up and were on guard.

"Brother Jian Ren, you …" Gu He stood up, but his expression was awkward. Obviously, he didn't want to offend either side.

"Brother Zi Chen, everything can be discussed." The Sword Ninja said.

"This is not negotiable. Either give me the thing or fight," Zi Chen said word by word.

"Fight? Who do you think you are? If you go against the Sword Sect, I guarantee that you won't live past today," Jian Lu shouted.

"I'll give you the same. As for who lives and who dies, we'll know after we try."

Zi Chen looked at the three and sneered. "But before we fight, I want to advise you to let the others come out quickly. Otherwise, the three of you will die very quickly."

Facing Zi Chen's threat, Jian Lu's expression changed and became furious.

Jian Lu shouted, "Raise the formation."

Zi Chen's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the power around his body began to surge. Lei Ming's body was surrounded by lightning, and Xia Xin's body was also emitting a golden light. Although Wu Yu and Yan Laosan's battle prowess were negligible, the power of their bodies also began to surge, which showed their attitude.

The atmosphere had reached its limit. A battle could break out at any time.

"Wait." The Sword Ninja suddenly shouted.

"Senior Brother." Jian Lu and Jian Xin looked at the Sword Ninja in confusion.

"Brother Zi Chen, since this is not negotiable, then forget it. I'll give you the thing. I'll contact the five forces. But after this, you have to come with me to take a look," the Sword Ninja said. He then handed the jade piece to Zi Chen.

"Senior Brother, you …" The two of them were confused.

"This thing originally belonged to Zi Chen. We're just borrowing something from him. How can we be rude?" The Sword Ninja's voice became cold.

Zi Chen had already taken the jade piece. He withdrew his energy and a faint smile appeared on his face. "Brother Bitch is indeed reasonable. If you contact the five forces, just tell Gu He to come find me. Goodbye."

With that, Zi Chen led everyone back. Gu He also cupped his fists and left.

"Come, send Brother Zi Chen out," the Sword Ninja said.

"There's no need." Zi Chen waved his hand. He had already left the hall.

Seeing Zi Chen leave, Jian Lu and Jian Xin turned to the Sword Ninja and asked, "Senior Brother, why don't you activate the array? Then we can go and kill him together."

"Kill him? Who is he? Zi Chen?" the Sword Ninja asked.

"Of course. If it's not Zi Chen, who else could it be?" Jian Lu asked.

"If we really fight, it's hard to say who will die," the Sword Ninja said.

"Senior Brother, are you kidding? If all of us come out, Zi Chen can defeat us. Killing him is a fact," the Sword Ninja said.

The Sword Ninja said, "Even if we kill Zi Chen, we will lose a lot. It's not worth it to ask for a spot just to get a jade slip. Besides, the jade slip is in Zi Chen's hands. We also have a spot, so why should we snatch it?"

Forcing the person to hand over the jade piece and taking control of it was the Sword Ninja's plan. However, he didn't expect the person to be Zi Chen. Moreover, Zi Chen wasn't afraid at all when he was threatened. Instead, he dared to threaten him. It was obvious that he was very confident.

In addition, he had indeed killed an Innate Ranker before. This made the Sword Ninja change his mind.

The group walked out of the Sword Sect. Gu He cupped his fists and apologized, "Brother Zi Chen, just now …"

"I can't blame you for this." Zi Chen waved his hand.

This was the power of a major force. They had to take the initiative. Zi Chen was also the leader of a major force. He naturally knew what he had to do in this position.

If it was him, he would also ask for the jade piece today. Neither side was wrong, but whoever had the bigger fist was right.
