"Oh? Could it be that you can't find out who caused the memory crystal to explode with your cultivation, junior brother?"
The Child of the Nether World, Han Dian, stared fixedly at Chu Chen. The light in his eyes grew even more piercing and sharp.
"What? Could it be that the memory crystal didn't explode because of an accident, but because someone deliberately damaged it?"
Chu Chen looked at Han Dian in shock. "Who would do something so senseless? Even if they didn't have the money to buy it, they could've just left it for someone else. Why would they destroy the memory crystal? The people of the Blackblood Auction aren't just for show … "
"Heh heh … that's true. Who would be so bored as to do something so thankless and even offend the Blackblood Auction? They must've risked their lives for it!"
Han Dian looked meaningfully at Chu Chen, the corners of his mouth twitching as he swept his sharp gaze around. "Speaking of which, I've heard that you've stayed in the Dongyuan Region before. How much do you know about Ling Xuan?"
"I've never seen her before."
Chu Chen shook his head, perplexed. "Many evil sects in the Dongyuan Region are looking for her, but only a few have actually seen her. Moreover, I didn't even know what she looked like. Perhaps she just brushed past me without me noticing. "
"Since you're not related to her, that's naturally for the best."
Han Dian smiled, but the corners of his mouth curved in a cold arc. "No matter how treacherous and cunning she is, my Netherworld Peak will hunt her down to the very end. Since you're not related to her, I won't have to worry about your feelings when she falls into my hands. I can do whatever I want. "
"Heh, you're right, senior brother Han. Of course you don't have to worry about me." Chu Chen's lips curled in a faint smile.
"That's right, I heard that the Witch's cultivation is shocking, and her methods are incomparably ruthless. She actually destroyed the entire Netherworld Sect by herself … I heard that the Netherworld Sect in the Eastern Plain Region had several elders overseeing it, and even the Vice Peak Master of the Netherworld Peak went there. In the end, they were still destroyed by Ling Xuan."
Chu Chen paused as he watched Han Dian's expression stiffen. Only then did the corners of his mouth twitch as he leisurely said, "Senior Brother Han, you have to be extremely careful. I know you're eager for revenge, but you have to be careful not to fall into her hands … Otherwise, this Junior Brother will truly be upset!"
"Heh … hehe."
After being choked by Chu Chen, Han Dian's expression became awkward. His face slightly flushed as he chuckled, "Looks like Junior Brother knows a lot about Ling Xuan. It's not like you don't know anything."
"Ling Xuan is a great enemy of the Netherworld Peak after all, and is also a great enemy of my Dark Demon Sect. After coming here, I naturally had to gather some information."
Chu Chen smiled faintly. "Speaking of which, Senior Brother Han shouldn't have come to the Duxu Peak today just to chat with me, right?"
"Junior Brother is a smart person, so I won't beat around the bush."
Han Dian's expression changed as he revealed a straightforward expression. "You and I hit it off well at first sight. I'm sure Junior Brother won't refuse this small request of mine, right?"
"Senior Brother Han, you go first." Chu Chen smiled and gestured for him to go first.
"Legend has it that the Duxu Peak's Spirit Peak Awakening Day, which occurs once every hundred years, is about to arrive. When the time comes, I'd like to bring a few people to your Duxu Peak to bask in the glory. What do you think? My request isn't high, just twenty or so people. "
"Oh, that …"
Chu Chen smiled faintly and gently reached for the teacup on the table to take a sip.
He didn't answer Han Dian's question. His expression was calm, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
"If Junior Brother thinks it's a bit too much, I can bring fewer people."
Seeing Chu Chen's silence, Han Dian frowned and smiled. "I'll give Junior Brother Chu some face and directly reduce the number by half. Ten people, I'll bring ten people. What do you think? "
Chu Chen still didn't say a word, his expression calm without the slightest ripple.
In that moment, his expression was a bit similar to Zi Xi's. They were both cold and empty, without the slightest hint of a human.
Han Dian's small eyes blinked rapidly, and his expression became somewhat gloomy. At this moment, the other Void Crossing Peak disciples in the reception hall were all secretly clenching their fists and sweating profusely.
As the eldest senior brother of Netherworld Peak, the number one Child of the Netherworld in the Dark Demon Sect's younger generation, Han Dian wasn't someone who could be easily dismissed.
Rumors of this brat's ruthlessness had been circulating in the Dark Demon Sect for a long time. Almost every disciple who'd been in the sect for a while had heard of it.
At that moment, Han Dian's attitude could be said to be quite humble.
After all, Feng Tianyou, the Son of the Heavenly Demon, had said that he would expel all the Duxu Peak disciples, leaving only ten people here as servants.
Today, Han Dian was only willing to bring a mere ten people to the Duxu Peak. It could be said that he was giving Chu Chen plenty of face.
Although many Duxu Peak disciples didn't understand why Han Dian was giving Chu Chen face, if Chu Chen still didn't agree and angered him...
Who knew what an enraged Child of the Netherworld would do? He might even expel all the Duxu Peak disciples, or even kill them all!!
"Junior Brother Chu, I truly treat you as a brother."
Seeing that Chu Chen still didn't say a word, Han Dian's expression began to fluctuate.
Chu Chen still didn't say anything.
Han Dian was silent for a moment. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and the gaze in his small eyes was as sharp as a blade.
"If Junior Brother is really unwilling, then I'll only bring seven people over … It's only seven people, and they're all the most important disciples of my Netherworld. Junior Brother Chu, you have to give me this little face, right?"
"Senior Brother Han, it's not that I don't want to give you face. Don't mention seven people, even if you came alone, I wouldn't allow it! "
In the face of Han Dian's razor-sharp gaze, Chu Chen's gaze remained as calm as ever.
"I don't care what the Duxu Peak was like in the past, and I don't care what the Duxu Peak will be like in the future. This time, as long as I'm in charge of the Duxu Peak, I won't let a single outer peak disciple in. During the awakening period, anyone who isn't a disciple of my peak who trespasses will be killed, no matter who they are! "
Chu Chen's voice wasn't very loud, but it was extremely steady and powerful.
Every word was like a heavy piece of metal, resonating clearly in everyone's ears.
In that moment, whether it was in the reception hall or in other parts of the Duxu Peak, all the disciples clenched their fists at the same time. They felt their blood boil in their chests, the pride of being a Duxu Peak disciple rising spontaneously!
How many years had it been? How many years had it been?!
No one knew when it started, but every awakening on the Duxu Peak had become a day of humiliation for all Duxu Peak disciples.
