297: Lord of the Divine Court, Su Chen

The Third Elder continued, "Such a major buyer must not be weak, and for a powerhouse to arrive in the Black Gold Domain, it absolutely cannot have been done quietly."

"As long as I send someone to make a few inquiries, it will be very easy to get results."

In fact, long before he brought An Ruoxuan over, he had already secretly ordered people to investigate the situation in the Black Gold Domain, and he estimated that there would be a reply very soon.

A look of despair immediately appeared on An Ruoxuan's face.

The Divine Court was indeed very famous in the Black Gold Domain, and adding the fact that Su Chen had come to their Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce that day, which was followed by the closure,

even a fool could figure out who the buyer was.

It must be related to the Divine Court!

The Third Elder looked at An Ruoxuan's expression and felt reassured; if the buyer were very secretive, she wouldn't have shown such an expression.

The Third Elder's lips curled slightly, and he already knew what was going on in his mind.

The Third Elder asked again, "Tell me, what are the buyer's demands? And the details of your situation. The same thing still applies: as long as you confess honestly, I guarantee you won't die."

An Ruoxuan just turned her head away, not saying another word.

At this point, she knew that wanting to escape was absolutely not that simple; the only thing she could do was to cause trouble for the Third Elder and his group.

An Ruoxuan felt immensely desperate in her heart.

From the peak to the bottom of the mountain, this turn of events happened too quickly.

When she returned to the Tianhe Domain, she was very happy, but now she was as miserable as she could be.

However, all of this was because of her carelessness.

If she had gone directly to the Family Head, would these troubles have been avoided?

The Family Head might have deducted her commission, but he definitely would not have killed her.

Seeing this, the Third Elder narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Don't think that just because you don't open your mouth, I have no way to deal with you. I will always have a chance to make you talk."

"For the next period of time, you will just stay here."

The Third Elder couldn't be bothered to waste words with An Ruoxuan, so he turned and left the secret chamber.

As for An Ruoxuan's life, it could not be taken just yet.

Because he didn't yet know who the specific buyer was, nor the relationship between that person and An Ruoxuan. Killing her now would instead put him in a passive position later.

At the entrance of the secret chamber, a woman wearing a mask with a seductive figure was standing there.

The Third Elder said coldly, "Use torture until she is willing to tell us what happened."

The masked woman nodded upon hearing this and then walked into the secret chamber.

For her, there was no need to ask what the matter was; she only needed to interrogate until the person inside was willing to speak.

In her eyes, an excited look emerged; she could finally start torturing people again.

After leaving the secret chamber, the Third Elder immediately sent a message to An Hefeng, asking him to come to the Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce.

Returning to the previous room, the Third Elder told everyone else to leave.

Not long after, a handsome young man with an extraordinary air walked in, and he cupped his hands and smiled,

"Third Elder, I don't know what matter is so urgent?"

The Third Elder's expression was extremely solemn; he recounted everything that had happened to An Hefeng.

After listening, An Hefeng's brows furrowed tightly.

"Third Elder, is this true!?"

Obviously, he did not quite believe that An Ruoxuan could actually sell 130 million Top-grade Immortal Crystals, and also receive an order for 1 billion Top-grade Immortal Crystals.

One had to know that this meant many things.

The Black Gold Domain was very weak; it was impossible for there to be a force with this kind of financial power there.

That is to say, this force was most likely an outsider.

If this force came from the Northern Dark Empire, they knew very well that anyone within this Empire with such financial power would absolutely not go looking for An Ruoxuan, but would come directly to the headquarters.

If it were an external Immortal King force, that would be fine.

But if it were an external Immortal Lord force, then the Northern Dark Empire might be turned upside down in the future.

The Third Elder did not explain, but instead threw two Spatial Rings directly toward An Hefeng.

An Hefeng took the Spatial Rings, and when he probed inside with his Divine Sense, he couldn't help but gasp.

It was actually true!

He believed that the Third Elder would not tease him with such matters.

But this was too outrageous!

Taking two deep breaths, An Hefeng calmed the shock in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask:

"Third Elder, I don't know where An Ruoxuan is?"

The Third Elder sipped his tea calmly and then said, "She has been locked up by me and is currently being interrogated."

Once these words were spoken, An Hefeng also knew the Third Elder's purpose.

An Hefeng suddenly bowed to the Third Elder: "Third Elder, such great kindness, I have no way to repay it."

"If one day I become the President of the Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce and the Head of the An Family, I will certainly not let down the Third Elder's heart of cultivation today."

The Third Elder was immediately all smiles.

In fact, the first three Young Masters of the An Family each had their own strengths and weaknesses. The First Young Master's business acumen and cultivation were both decent, but neither was particularly outstanding.

The Second Young Master's business ability was not very outstanding, but his Aptitude for Cultivation was extremely formidable.

The Third Young Master had outstanding business acumen, but his talent for cultivation was relatively average.

Although their Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce was primarily focused on business, without cultivation, everything was just empty talk, so the Third Elder chose the Second Young Master, who had the strongest talent for cultivation.

Facts also proved that he had not chosen wrong.

The Second Young Master was now already at the Perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and becoming an Immortal King was just around the corner; by then, their faction would be the most powerful within the An Family.

The Third Elder walked forward and helped An Hefeng up, saying with a kindly expression:

"What are you saying, we are family, and you are my nephew, isn't it only right for me to help you?"

"I have already sent people to the Black Gold Domain to investigate the situation; I suppose it won't be long before we have a definite result. For now, let's interrogate An Ruoxuan first to see if we can get the exact details."

As soon as his voice fell, a voice sounded at the door:

"Greetings to the Third Elder."

Hearing this voice, the Third Elder immediately smiled: "Come in."

A middle-aged man with a stern face walked in. He knelt before the Third Elder and then said respectfully:

"Third Elder, your subordinate has already investigated the situation. A new force has recently appeared in the Black Gold Domain, named the Divine Court. The person behind it is Su Chen, the Lord of the Xuantian Realm. According to my investigation, he should have the cultivation of an Immortal Lord."

"Also, all the goods in the warehouse in the Black Gold Domain have been sold out, and the Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce in the Black Gold Domain is currently closed."

"Before the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce closed, there seemed to be rumors that the Lord of the Divine Court, Su Chen, had entered the Treasure Hunting Chamber of Commerce in Rizhao City, and An Ruoxuan happened to be there that day."

Immortal Lord!?

The Third Elder and An Hefeng couldn't help but look at each other, unable to hide the look of shock on their faces.

It was actually an Immortal Lord powerhouse.

In the Myriad Star Realm, everyone has their own territory, which is no different from beasts.

But now, another fierce tiger has appeared in this territory of the Northern Dark Empire; it goes without saying what will happen next.

When two tigers fight, one must be injured.

Unless this Immortal Lord powerhouse is just passing through, otherwise he and the Immortal Lord of the Northern Dark Empire will definitely have a battle; it is impossible for the two of them to coexist.

An Hefeng couldn't help but gasp.

An Ruoxuan actually had such good luck that she could establish a connection with an Immortal Lord-level powerhouse.

But soon he became excited. Originally, that was An Ruoxuan's Opportunity, but now it was different, because it was his Opportunity now.
