132: Another person has arrived!

However, even without any signs of danger, Chen Xian had actually introduced himself and provided completely truthful information.

That was simply moronic.

For a moment, several Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples wore looks of disdain.

In their eyes, Chen Xian was nothing more than a second-generation brat.

Inheriting a title and bringing along servants and lackeys here just to play around!

Since that was the case, once they had finished recuperating and restored their strength...

Not only could they slaughter Chen Xian, but they might even be able to squeeze even more value out of him.

However, Zhao Yan's attitude was exceptionally cautious.

“So it is the Marquis of Jubei. Forgive my lack of manners!”

In truth, he didn't know much about Chen Xian.

There was only a recent rumor that Chen Xian had inherited the title and intended to hunt a King-rank Demon Beast in the Shanhai Secret Realm for the Emperor.

A King-rank Demon Beast was a demon beast at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Was he really a fool?

He was a bit uncertain now.

Pei Ning stood beside Chen Xian and whispered, “By introducing yourself like that, even we won't be able to protect you in the end!”

Chen Xian's smile remained unchanged.

“Don't worry, I know what I'm doing.”

Zhao Yan looked at the long sword at Chen Xian's waist.

“The Marquis of Jubei is also a Sword Cultivator?”

Chen Xian nodded.

He spoke with great simplicity, “That's right. The reason I came this time is that my late father once obtained some information. There is a place in the Danger Zone of the Shanhai Secret Realm where a Sword Saint fell. We came here planning to seek resources!”

Chen Xian's words made the faces of Pei Ning and the others darken.

Who reveals their entire hand right from the start!

Especially since Chen Xian had laid everything out so cleanly.

Aside from Moon Demon, almost everyone thought this man was somewhat mentally deficient.

“In the end, he's just a second generation ancestor!”

“I really don't know why His Majesty insisted on capturing him and bringing him back to the capital!”

“Hmph, I bet it's because this guy can't uphold the reputation of the Marquis of Jubei, so His Majesty recalled him to the capital!”

Although Pei Ning knew some of the inside story...

...and knew that His Majesty had ulterior motives regarding Chen Xian...

...Chen Xian's brainless behavior still caused her heart to sink.

What on earth was this man trying to do!

“Oh, the place the Marquis of Jubei wants to go is exactly where our Heavenly Sword Sect is heading. Why don't we go together? That way, we can look out for each other on the road!”

“Great, great!”

“Then let's set off now!”

“Wait a moment. We members of the Heavenly Sword Sect are exhausted and need to rest and reorganize before leaving. Is that alright?”

“Of course!”

Chen Xian even took out several bottles of Medicinal Pills.

“Use these to treat your injuries!”

“With you guys along, won't we be even safer!”

Zhao Yan and the others were blooming with joy in their hearts.

They hadn't expected this man to be so naive.

“Good, good, good. Many thanks to the Marquis of Jubei!”

At this point, even Zhou Duoer felt that something was wrong with the Young Lord.

When did the Young Lord become so kind-hearted?

Especially the smile on the Young Lord's face; it clearly looked like he was up to no good.

The group stayed in the valley for several hours.

The dozen or so people from the Heavenly Sword Sect desperately consumed pills to recover.

Finally, late into the night, they had mostly recovered.

On the other side.

Chen Xian was lying on a wooden bed, snoring away!

A Heavenly Sword Sect Disciple cautiously walked to Zhao Yan's side.

“Senior Brother, are we still not going to slaughter this useless lump?”

“Shh!”

Zhao Yan whispered, “Keep him; he'll be of great use!”

A second generation ancestor like this...

...it would be a pity for him to die here now. He would use him until the very last step before killing him!

Especially those ten Embroidered Uniform Guards.

As the Senior Brother of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he was ordered to lead the team this time.

Naturally, he was aware of what the Embroidered Uniform Guards were; they were the trusted inner circle of the Da Gan Emperor!

If they acted rashly now...

...his Heavenly Sword Sect might suffer losses that outweigh the gains.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan waved his hand.

“Rest where you are. We'll talk tomorrow!”

“We can also take a rest now.”

The night passed without incident!

Early the next morning.

Chen Xian let out a yawn.

He got up comfortably from the wooden bed.

Seeing his second generation ancestor-like appearance...

...everyone's eyes rolled.

Did this young master think he was here on vacation!

Seeing Chen Xian get up, Zhao Yan quickly stood and walked over.

“Marquis of Jubei, when shall we set off?”

Chen Xian yawned.

“What's the rush! Wait until I've finished washing up!”

“Duoer, attend to me!”

Zhou Duoer acted like a little maidservant, constantly attending to Chen Xian's needs.

Seeing his ostentatious display...

...the Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples sneered.

“Heh, looking at it this way, there's no need for us to act. He'll bring about his own destruction.”

Meanwhile.

While rinsing his mouth...

...Chen Xian was looking at the System panel in front of him that no one else could see.

【Daily Intel 1: The Lu Family, a sword dao Family from the Eastern Continent, will arrive at this valley in half an hour!】

Tsk tsk tsk!

The reason he knew about the place where the Sword Saint fell was because of the map provided by the System's intelligence!

He had thought very few people knew of this place.

Now it seemed...

...there's always someone better and mountains beyond mountains!

Whether it was the Heavenly Sword Sect...

...or the established Lu Family of the Eastern Continent...

...almost all of them knew about this place.

Fine then!

The more people that came...

...the happier he would be!

At that thought, Chen Xian's movements became even more sluggish.

After washing up...

...he even pulled out a large amount of food from his storage ring.

All sorts of delicacies were spread across the table, filling it to the brim!

Seeing this scene...

...the others almost choked on their breath.

Motherfucker!

Are you here for a picnic?

Even so...

...Zhao Yan and the others continued to wait for Chen Xian through gritted teeth.

A full half-hour passed.

Only then was the meal considered finished.

After eating...

...Chen Xian finally wiped his mouth.

Before they could even leave...

...another set of footsteps echoed from within the valley.

The expressions of Zhao Yan and the others became even more solemn.

More people have arrived!

Their mood was truly terrible!

Because every additional person meant another layer of danger.

After all, the human heart is unpredictable!

“Who goes there?”

The latecomers hadn't expected there to be so many people ahead of them either.

The man in the lead cupped his fists.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I am Lu Tianchen, the Young Lord of the Lu Family from the Eastern Continent!”

“Zhao Yan, Senior Brother of the Heavenly Sword Sect!”

Chen Xian said with a smile, “Marquis of Jubei of the Da Gan Dynasty!”

In just a few short seconds, Lu Tianchen could see that these were two separate groups.

Especially from their self-introductions...

...he learned of the backgrounds behind the two.

“Young Lord Lu is also heading to the place where the Thunder Roar Sword Saint fell, right?”

“Our two parties are as well.”

“Why don't we travel together? We can look out for one another!”

“What do you think?”

Lu Tianchen's heart skipped a beat.

He hadn't expected this Marquis of Jubei to know their purpose for coming here.

He didn't immediately deny it.

After all, if he denied it now and they ran into each other later, wouldn't it be awkward!

Especially when he saw the people behind the two...

...he made a decision in his heart!
