447: Can you tell me...the real purpose of your trip?

[Empress Mu Xuanyi: The current Empress of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Clan, aged 8,637, naturally cold and arrogant, never close to men, currently at the Emperor Lord Ninth Level of cultivation.]

[Once killed a severely injured Saint King Realm expert while at the Ru Sheng Realm cultivation...]

As he felt amazed internally, Xiao Chen activated the appraisal function.

Empress Mu Xuanyi's basic information appeared before his eyes, line by line.

Including her cultivation realm, cultivation techniques and divine abilities, past battle achievements, height, and measurements.

This made Xiao Chen's eyes narrow involuntarily.

Unexpectedly.

The Empress of the Devouring Heaven Python Clan would actually come looking for him.

Could it be that she found out he had killed Mu Yan and Ni Lin, or was she coming for the Ling Yao Female Emperor's legacy?

However, feeling no malice from Empress Mu Xuanyi, Xiao Chen dismissed this thought at this moment.

"This guy... is terrifying!"

While Xiao Chen was sizing up Empress Mu Xuanyi, this Empress was also sizing up Xiao Chen.

She felt.

Under Xiao Chen's gaze, she felt as if she had been stripped bare, with absolutely no secrets to speak of.

This made Empress Mu Xuanyi feel as if she were facing a formidable enemy, looking at Xiao Chen with shocked eyes.

Although on the way to Huanxin City.

Gu Xuan had told her that this Young Master Xiao was extremely terrifying, and she had made some mental preparations.

But now, with just a single glance, Empress Mu Xuanyi felt her entire body go numb.

One must know.

Even a Half-God Realm expert couldn't easily see through her.

But Xiao Chen could give her this terrifying feeling, which shows just how terrifying the other party was.

It was simply unbelievable!

"Young Master Xiao, this is our clan's Empress, Empress Mu Xuanyi."

"Hearing about Young Master Xiao's various deeds, our clan's Empress was greatly amazed and wishes to make your acquaintance..."

Seeing the two exchange glances, seemingly about to hit it off.

Gu Xuan was immediately overjoyed and quickly spoke up to help connect them.

However, before Gu Xuan could finish speaking, Empress Mu Xuanyi gave him a cold glance, making his old bones shiver.

He didn't continue with the rest of his words and could only shake his head somewhat helplessly.

Never mind, never mind.

Still can't be too hasty.

The Empress's happiness can only be grasped by her herself; it's useless for this old man to be anxious.

"Everything has a first-come, first-served principle. Three groups of people have come at once, which makes this This Young Master very awkward."

Seeing that Empress Mu Xuanyi was somewhat cold and arrogant.

Although Xiao Chen was a little curious why the other party looked so much like Cai Yan, he wasn't in a hurry to ask at this moment.

Instead, he turned his gaze towards Luo Hao.

Xiao Chen hadn't forgotten about this guy.

After all.

When he first entered the Eastern Region, he had a conflict with the other party's unlucky son and even forced out the other party's avatar projection.

In the end, he personally killed the other party's son right in front of this guy, and he didn't expect this guy to still dare to come looking for him.

"Are you... here to settle the score with this This Young Master?"

As he speculated internally, Xiao Chen asked in a calm tone.

"No, no, no, Young Master Xiao has misunderstood, I wouldn't dare."

Hearing Xiao Chen's question, Luo Hao was startled and quickly waved his hand, saying.

"I... no, I, Luo, have presumptuously come to visit Young Master Xiao this time, and it is indeed because of that incident some time ago."

"But I am not here to settle the score with Gongzi, but to offer my apologies."

Saying this, Luo Hao took off a naring from his hand and handed it to Xiao Chen.

"Within this naring are one hundred billion spirit crystals, and some high-grade Emperor-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

"Although I, Luo, know these things are nothing to Young Master Xiao, they are a small token of my sincerity."

"On that day..."

"That rebellious son was instigated by his birth mother, Rain Consort, and planned to destroy the forces in the Southern Xuantian Realm."

"He intended to establish his own power base in the Southern Xuantian Realm and then find an opportunity to kill a few of his brothers to overthrow the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty."

"But unexpectedly, he offended Young Master Xiao..."

"And on that day, I, Luo, had not yet known of the wolfish ambitions of this mother and son, which is why I impulsively and accidentally offended Young Master Xiao."

"However, after investigating the truth of everything..."

"I, Luo, have already ordered the removal of Rain Consort and have also eradicated the forces behind this woman."

"But an offense is an offense after all."

"Although Young Master Xiao said on that day that the grievances with the Great Luo Imperial Dynasty were over."

"But I, Luo, have been unable to sleep or eat peacefully during this time. After being unable to bear the condemnation of my conscience, I shamelessly came to Young Master Xiao to confess my fault."

"I hope Young Master Xiao, being a magnanimous person, will not dwell on the faults of a petty person and forget the unpleasantness that occurred on that day."

After Xiao Chen spoke.

Luo Hao's mouth was like a machine gun, and his words were flawless.

Not only did he cleverly downplay the conflict of that day, but he also pushed all the grievances onto Luo Chenfeng.

He truly deserved to be an Emperor Realm Expert who had lived for thousands of years.

After Liu Qingtian, Gu Xuan, and the others heard Luo Hao's words.

There wasn't a hint of contempt on their faces; instead, they revealed a look of appreciation.

Although morally speaking.

Luo Hao's actions would seem somewhat shameless and lacking in spirit. Instead of being righteously indignant and seeking revenge for his dead son, he humbled himself and went to great lengths to please the murderer of his son.

But from the perspective of someone in power.

Being able to resolve a massive hidden danger with the smallest cost, or even turn a powerful enemy into one's ally, is the mark of a qualified leader who considers the overall situation.

"Seeing how sincere you are, this This Young Master will accept this naring."

Under Luo Hao's nervous gaze, Xiao Chen also didn't bother to dwell on the matter.

He then raised his hand and accepted this storage naring.

Resources delivered right to his doorstep for free; not accepting them would be too pretentious.

Immediately after.

Xiao Chen looked at Liu Qingtian and the others and asked in a somewhat low voice.

"President Liu is in such a hurry to see this This Young Master, is there something important?"

"Hahaha, it's just a small matter."

Liu Qingtian chuckled upon hearing this, then his gaze swept over Empress Mu Xuanyi and the others.

"However, Young Master Xiao still has other distinguished guests to entertain, so this old man will wait until Young Master Xiao is finished."

Seeing that Luo Hao wasn't here to ask Xiao Chen to enhance his talent and aptitude, and seemingly unaware that Xiao Chen possessed such a method.

So he wasn't in a hurry now, lest he reveal this matter later and accidentally anger Xiao Chen, which would be troublesome.

Xiao Chen looked thoughtful upon hearing this and didn't say anything more, then looked at Empress Mu Xuanyi and Gu Xuan.

"Can you tell me... the real purpose of your trip?"

Xiao Chen didn't believe it.

These two Emperor Lord Ninth Level experts wouldn't travel all this way just to make his acquaintance.

After all.

After the battle in the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, facing the invitation from Gu Xuan and the others.

He didn't refuse.

Instead, he said that he would make time to go there after destroying the Dark Forbidden Zone.

Originally, he planned to head to the Tianmang Mountain Range with Cai Yan and Cai Die after they came out of seclusion in the next few days.

Unexpectedly.

Before they could even head to the Tianmang Mountain Range, this Empress actually came to their doorstep herself.

There must be some reason behind it.

"I've heard that Young Master Xiao's two wives also possess the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python bloodline. May I, the Emperor, meet them?"

After Xiao Chen's words fell, Empress Mu Xuanyi said in a calm tone.

This made Xiao Chen's brows furrow involuntarily. They were actually here for Cai Yan and Cai Die. Could it be that she wanted to poach them right in front of him?!

"Young Master Xiao, please don't overthink it."

"The reason our Empress wants to meet the two ladies is because she... is very likely the source of their bloodline."

Seeing Xiao Chen's brows furrow and his expression become somewhat wary.

Gu Xuan coughed dryly and quickly explained.

These two sentences.

Were like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky, instantly making Xiao Chen widen his eyes.
