371: Chapter 371 Settling the Matter

After learning the sequence of events, the two Elders took their leave.

They also indicated that they would report this matter to the Sect Master.

"Husband, do you think the Sect Master will punish us?"

Although Chen Hu had intimidated the two Elders, she was still deeply worried inside.

"Rest assured, nothing will happen!"

Chen Hu said confidently, "The Seven Emotions Sword Sect is, after all, a reputable righteous Sect and should be reasonable. Of course, if they are unwilling to be reasonable, your husband here still knows a thing or two about fisticuffs!"

He was now at the Dao Integration Realm Level 9.

An average Mahayana Realm expert was definitely no match for him.

Offending a Dao Integration Realm expert of unknown depth for the sake of an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator, especially when they were in the wrong, was unwise.

As long as the Seven Emotions Sword Sect's Sect Master wasn't brain-damaged, he would know what to do.

On the other side.

Qi Ming and Guan Qing rushed back to the Seven Emotions Sword Sect at top speed and went directly to meet the Sect Master, recounting the entire sequence of events.

"Does that Ning He have any background?"

The Seven Emotions Sword Sect's Sect Master, Shangguan Monan, asked indifferently.

Qi Ming said, "The other party has no background. Before joining our Seven Emotions Sword Sect, he was just a disciple of a small Golden Core Family!"

Shangguan Monan mused, "Shen Xiangjun is also a member of our Sect. That Ning He threatened her husband for no reason and insulted Shen Xiangjun. Even after being spared, he dared to launch a sneak attack; he deserved to die. Let this matter end here!"

Hearing Shangguan Monan say this, the two understood his meaning: it was not worth offending a powerful Dao Integration Realm expert for the sake of a mere Golden Core disciple.

"Oh, right!"

Shangguan Monan thought for a moment and said, "Investigate that Chen Hu and see what his origins are!"

It must be said.

The Seven Emotions Sword Sect was truly worthy of being the hegemon of the July Domain.

Its intelligence-gathering capabilities were indeed very powerful.

Just two hours later.

Shangguan Monan received Chen Hu's file.

And Qi Ming, who had delivered the file, had already read it and was filled with inexplicable shock.

When Chen Hu was still at the Spirit Severing Stage Level 9, he had already defied and defeated a combined force of a Dao Integration Realm Level 6 and Level 7 expert.

Now, the other party had broken through to the Dao Integration Realm.

His combat power was likely approaching that of a Dao Integration Realm Level 9 expert.

Fortunately, when the two of them went to see Chen Hu, they hadn't directly attacked.

Otherwise, they might not have even known how they died.

Do not think that just because they were Elders of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect, the other party wouldn't dare to touch them.

The prestige of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect could suppress others, but that only applied to those below the Dao Integration Realm.

Once someone reached the Dao Integration Realm.

Even if the Seven Emotions Sword Sect dispatched several Dao Integration Realm experts, they might not necessarily be able to take them down.

After all, a Dao Integration Realm expert, even if they couldn't survive in the July Domain, could simply go to other domains.

Could the Seven Emotions Sword Sect really chase them to another domain?

As for letting the Mahayana Realm experts in the Sect participate in the pursuit.

That was even less likely.

Generally speaking, the Sect's Mahayana Realm experts only served as a deterrent.

Unless they encountered a calamity that threatened the destruction of the Sect, or their direct descendants were killed, they would not emerge from their seclusion.

They might not even bother to come out of seclusion even if their direct descendants or their Family were wiped out.

After finishing Chen Hu's file, Shangguan Monan mused, "What do you say, how about we recruit Chen Hu into our Seven Emotions Sword Sect?"

"Sect Master, to recruit him, what do we have to entice him with?"

Qi Ming asked.

"That's true!"

Shangguan Monan had a headache.

Dao Integration Realm powerhouses were the Sect's Grand Elders.

They had to distribute the Sect's annual revenue among themselves.

Mahayana Realm powerhouses, on the other hand, no longer needed to share in the Sect's benefits.

Because after Mahayana Realm experts condensed their Immortal Embryos, what they needed was Immortal Qi.

Only Immortal Crystals contained Immortal Qi.

However, in the Great Cultivation World, the quantity of Immortal Crystals was extremely scarce; only Holy Lands controlled one or several Immortal Crystal mines.

Take the Seven Emotions Sword Sect for example.

It had been founded for tens of thousands of years, but over these tens of thousands of years, it had only occasionally obtained a few Immortal Crystals.

And a mere few Immortal Crystals could only support a newly ascended Mahayana Realm cultivator's cultivation for a few months.

Returning to the main topic.

Precisely because the Dao Integration Grand Elders had to take a share of the Sect's revenue.

Naturally, the fewer people there were, the more they would receive.

If there were one more Grand Elder, their share would decrease.

Therefore, if a new Grand Elder were to be added, the others would likely not agree.

Seeing Shangguan Monan frowning, Qi Ming's heart stirred, "Sect Master, if we cannot recruit him, we can befriend him. Isn't his wife our True Disciple? We could completely improve her treatment, or arrange for a Grand Elder to take her as a disciple. If our Sect encounters trouble, we could just have Shen Xiangjun invite her husband to help!"

"Heh!"

Shangguan Monan looked at Qi Ming with annoyance, "Your schemes are so obvious they are almost hitting him in the face; do you think he won't see through your little calculations? Besides, he is a Dao Integration Realm expert; wouldn't he teach his own wife himself? Why would she need to take another master? As for the treatment, do you think a Dao Integration Realm expert would care for that little bit of treatment you offer?"

Hearing this, Qi Ming couldn't help but laugh sheepishly, "Sect Master, I thought wrong!"

"Right, why did that Chen Hu come to Jueqing City?" Shangguan Monan asked again.

Qi Ming said, "He should be here to attend the Myriad Beasts Pavilion's Spirit Beast auction!"

"Since he came for a Soul Transformation Spirit Beast, it seems he is not short of money," Shangguan Monan mused.

Any Soul Transformation Spirit Beast could sell for an astronomical price.

Not to mention an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, even a Dao Integration Realm expert might not be able to produce that many Spirit Stones.

"Very well, let this matter end here; you may withdraw!"

Shangguan Monan waved his hand.

Nowadays, the development of the Seven Emotions Sword Sect had encountered a Bottleneck.

This time, the Seven Emotions Sword Sect had united with the other three major Sword Sects to attack the Heavenly Demon Sect.

It was not without the intention of carving up some of the Heavenly Demon Sect's territory.

As for destroying the Heavenly Demon Sect.

He hadn't thought about it, and neither had the other three major Sword Sects.

Because once they wanted to destroy the Heavenly Demon Sect, they would have to alert the Heavenly Demon Sect's Mahayana Realm old monsters.

Once a Mahayana Realm expert struck, it would be a fight to the death.

If they lost a few Mahayana Realm experts because of this battle, then the top forces in the surrounding domains would likely be unable to resist attacking them.

It would be completely not worth the loss.

Therefore, their true purpose was just to seize some of the Heavenly Demon Sect's territory.

Time arrived at the early morning hours.

Chen Hu's underling points increased by another 5.839 billion.

The total number of underling points reached 48.301 billion.

Subsequently, it was time to open cards.

After opening the good luck card and gaining five times good luck.

Chen Hu opened all the other cards.

Then he used two enlightenment cards on the "Taixuan Dao Integration Technique," bringing this Cultivation Technique to the Mahayana Realm Level 4.

Opened the connection card.

Obtained a D-grade connection, gave it up directly.

Opened the identity card, obtained an ordinary identity, gave it up directly.

Opened the treasure hunting card, obtained a new treasure location within Jueqing City.

After Chen Hu went to retrieve it, he found that everything combined was worth 80 million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Opened the intelligence card.

Today's intelligence: The third Nascent Soul level Spirit Beast, the One-Horned Snake, to be auctioned by the Myriad Beasts Pavilion tomorrow, is actually a Dragon Clan demon cultivator.

Seeing this intelligence.

Chen Hu frowned slightly; how could a Dragon Clan demon cultivator run to the July Domain?

And get caught by people from the Myriad Beasts Pavilion?
