435: Chapter 439 In My Place

Those tycoons and their bodyguards all knelt down.

Because two Martial Gods were standing before them.

Wherever a Martial God goes, they receive the highest respect.

Only two people remained standing.

They were Ross and Lu Chen.

Ross did not kneel because he was their direct superior.

And Lu Chen did not kneel because those two Martial Gods could not withstand the Karma associated with Lu Chen bowing.

After all, he was an existence on the level of the Lord of Chaos.

When everyone saw the two of them remaining unmoved, they were instantly terrified.

Ross not kneeling might have offended those two supremely noble big shots.

Moreover, there was another person: the bodyguard brought by Kuli Navis.

Seeing this, Kuli was so scared that his Soul Emergence almost happened.

Lu Chen was his bodyguard.

He did not want the other party to suffer punishment from these two lords.

But to his surprise,

Neither of the two reacted as he had expected.

This was because Ross used his Mental Energy to command them not to provoke this person.

He seemed extremely mysterious.

Even when the monster attacked, Ross saw that this person was very calm.

He was able to correctly analyze the monster's combat strength.

This was almost impossible for a Ghost Hunter.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps have strong bodies, but their Mental Energy is relatively weak.

Therefore, they cannot use psychic power or Mental Energy like Adepts, Martial Soul Martial Artists, or Martial Artists.

And only through mental-type power can one judge a person's strength level.

Lu Chen stood there, hands clasped behind his back.

He calmly watched the two Martial Gods take away the monster's corpse.

After those two left,

Everyone finally got up one after another.

Kuli wanted to say something to Lu Chen.

But when he saw the calm look in Lu Chen's eyes,

He immediately bit his tongue and said nothing.

Afterward, some wealthy men questioned Ross about why he didn't kneel.

But Ross directly ignored their questions.

Due to this incident, the meeting ended early.

Ross walked up to Lu Chen and said,

"Young man, if you have time, I would like to speak with you alone."

This surprised everyone.

Ross was surrounded by Martial Master-level guards.

So his polite address to someone who was clearly a rookie member of the Demon Slayer Corps was truly baffling.

Lu Chen nodded, then looked toward Kuli.

"Mr. Navis, if you don't mind, could you wait a moment?"

Kuli immediately nodded.

Then,

Lu Chen and Ross entered a private room inside the palace.

As soon as they entered the room, it automatically locked.

Lu Chen knew Ross had done it.

But he said nothing.

Ross looked into Lu Chen's eyes.

He said calmly,

"You are a Martial Soul Martial Artist, not a Ghost Hunter, correct? And your Martial Dao strength is quite formidable."

Lu Chen just smiled and said,

"I don't know what you are talking about. I am a member of the Demon Slayer Corps. You can ask the Demon Slayer Corps; Sword Saint Liang can testify for me."

Ross's gaze instantly turned cold.

"Kid, don't play dumb with me. A Martial Soul Martial Artist impersonating a Ghost Hunter is a serious crime, and you could be sentenced to death for it."

Lu Chen looked surprised.

"Mr. Caesar, how do you know this? Aren't you also a Martial Soul Martial Artist, posing as a business tycoon?"

"You are not worthy of knowing about me. But I can assure you that if you do not immediately stop this behavior and continue, it could bring disaster upon you and your family."

When Lu Chen heard the threat,

The roguish expression on his face instantly turned cold.

He took a step forward.

A massive pressure instantly bore down on Ross.

The man immediately knelt on the ground, blood flowing from his seven orifices.

His face was filled with terror.

This terrifying and peerless pressure was not even comparable to the severed limb he found in the Ancient Ruins.

And that body part was believed to be a remnant of a deity.

What kind of existence had he provoked?

Only one thought remained in his mind:

"Ross Caesar, a mere Martial Saint, isn't even fit to carry my shoes. Yet you dare to threaten my family? You have a death wish, don't you?"

Lu Chen asked calmly.

Ross wanted to beg for mercy.

But under this pressure,

His whole body was stiff, unable to move, and he couldn't even open his mouth.

He felt certain he was done for today.

But then, that terrifying pressure suddenly vanished.

"I want you to serve me. If you prove competent, I will spare your life."

"Yes, my lord. I am willing."

He answered without thinking.

Lu Chen nodded, then left the room.

"Investigate the Toriati Family and their enemies. Give me a report within two days."

Ross stood up.

He bowed deeply to Lu Chen's retreating figure.

Lu Chen's aura was even more powerful than the remnant of the deity they found in the Ancient Ruins.

But that was only a slight trace of Lu Chen's aura.

If he unleashed his full aura, the entire Universe would be destroyed.

After leaving the room,

Lu Chen walked to Kuli's side and asked,

"Shall we go?"

Kuli did not ask about their meeting.

Because whatever they discussed had nothing to do with him and Lu Chen.

They entered the aircraft, and it flew into the sky.

"Mr. Lu, thank you for your protection this time,"

Kuli expressed his gratitude.
