"Hehe, it really is Miss Mo Chen. I didn't expect to bump into you here. Since we've bumped into each other, come up and have a seat."
Another person appeared beside Gu Jiange. It was a man who was about the same age as Gu Jiange and wore luxurious clothes, and he gave a faint smile.
However, when his gaze lingered on Mo Chen's delicate body, there was an obscure, evil light in his eyes. With one look, it was clear that he was not a good person.
"Separated Cloud City's young city lord, Shi Feng!"
The two young city lords of the Broken Cloud Sea and the Separated Cloud Sea had also come to Shattered Cloud City.
The two of them were outstanding talents of the younger generation in the Cloud Sea Domain. Their fathers were both Blue Robed Emperor cultivators. They were influential people in the entire Cloud Sea Domain, extremely strong.
Mo Chen did not feel happy in her heart. She rejected, "Mo Chen has matters to attend to. I can only apologize for your invitation."
With that, he turned around and left.
Shi Feng's face turned stiff, and the attendant beside him immediately understood. He jumped down from the bow of the ship and blocked the path of the two.
"Miss Mo Chen, my Young City Lord is only inviting you up for a drink and a chat. There is no need to reject him so decisively."
This person was about fifty years old and a Medial Grade Martial Sage. He stood in front of the two and stretched out his hand to block the way.
"Didn't you hear my young miss say that she has something important to attend to?"
Xiao Chen was unhappy in his heart. He was in a hurry to purchase the key ingredients for the Heavenly Origin Pill, so he did not have the time to waste here.
"Do you have the right to speak?"
When the attendant saw that Xiao Chen was merely a Martial Monarch, yet he dared to point fingers at him, he immediately became angry and took three steps forward.
With every step he took, huge waves would rise on the surface of the sea, startling the surroundings. As he walked, he used an extremely ingenious footwork.
Although it was only three steps, it was extremely nimble. His figure turned illusory, moving like a phantom. Then, he swung his hand down like an eagle hunting its prey, wanting to claw Xiao Chen's brains out.
Nine Roaming Dragon Transformations!
Xiao Chen's figure flickered, and his figure also began to change. Nine real and fake figures, with different expressions and movements.
Compared to the ghostly footwork, it was even harder to distinguish the real from the fake.
That attendant could not help but be at a loss, not knowing where to start.
Although he could not see through Xiao Chen's Movement Technique, it did not mean that Xiao Chen could not see through him. The nine figures suddenly merged into one and punched.
An azure dragon head formed on his fist; this was the Dragon Claw Fist that he had not used in a long time.
The dragon roared and struck the follower's chest, sending him flying far away, not giving him a chance to get up again.
Xiao Chen's left hand turned into a claw and connected its head to its tail. An Azure Dragon formed from pure Vital Qi flew out and knocked the servant away again.
"Excuse me, Young Master Shi. Mo Chen indeed has important matters to attend to. Farewell!"
"Xiao Chen does have have have!" Mo "Xiao"'t to say this. "Mo" to "Xiao" two. "t" t "to say.
"Xiao". "It to Jiwith" t, "It. she., he., Gu" Chen "t" t "Jit. t. to" Mo "Chen." Mo "to". "t't think. Mo." Chen.
Gu Jiange smiled and said, "It's just a woman, Brother Shi, there's no need to be so angry."
"Can I not be angry? Who do you think I am? I am the City Lord of Separated Cloud City. I invited her several times, but she rejected me every time. This time, she even touched my servant. "
Shi Feng cursed with a murderous expression.
Gu Jiange did not reply. He asked, "Who is that person beside her? His cultivation is not high, but his physical body and Vital Qi are shockingly strong. He does not look like a Mo Clan cultivator."
Shi Feng said coldly, "This person is very bold. He even dares to make a move on my Shi Clan's people."
Gu Jiange said sullenly, "Let's stop here for now. This time, we eight Young City Lords are gathering in Shattered Cloud City to discuss the trip to the treasure mountain. We cannot be late."
When Shi Feng heard about the trip to the treasure mountain, he calmed down from his rage. He only stared at Xiao Chen's back, the murderous intent in his eyes never fading.
…
As Xiao Chen watched Mo Chen walk in front without saying a word, he felt sorrowful in his heart.
Sometimes, being too beautiful was a problem. Xiao Chen could not see what Mo Chen looked like because she wore a veil.
However, when he looked at her silhouette, her exquisite figure, her eyes that looked like stars and gems, her smooth, fair skin, and the fact that these outstanding talents of the Cloud Sea Domain chased after her …
Without a doubt, she was a beauty.
However, in this Cloud Sea Domain where the strong preyed on the weak, without the protection of a clan, such a beauty would only bring disaster.
It must have been very difficult for her to persevere all these years.
Shi Feng and Gu Jiange entered the Cloud Sea Domain on a boat without any obstructions. Instead, they arrived at the City Lord's Residence ahead of Mo Chen.
Six people had already arrived in the great hall of the City Lord's Residence long ago. These six people all had extraordinary appearances and arrogant expressions.
They were all Superior Grade Martial Sages. In the Cloud Sea Domain, they indeed had the right to be proud of having such a cultivation at such a young age.
The one sitting in the middle was the Young City Lord of Shattered Cloud City. His father ruled the Shattered Cloud Sea and was the Blue Robed Emperor.
The others also had extraordinary backgrounds, no weaker than the Young City Lords of the other cities of the Cloud Sea Domain.
When Shi Feng and Gu Jiange arrived, the Young City Lords of the eight great cities of the Cloud Sea Domain all gathered.
Wang Jue, the Young City Lord of Shattered Cloud City, stood up to welcome them. He smiled and said, "Brother Shi, Brother Gu, why are you so late?"
Shi Feng replied unhappily, "I ran into some trouble along the way. If not for giving face to Brother Wang, I would have fallen out with you on the spot."
Wang Jue's expression changed slightly. The others also revealed interested expressions as they quickly asked about the reason.
Shi Feng added fuel to the fire, telling them about his encounter with Mo Chen along the way.
"This Mo Chen really thinks that she is the golden phoenix. She is just managing a mere Rank 6 clan, yet she dares to show me attitude and even let her subordinate attack my people."
At this point, Shi Feng paused for a moment. Then, he glanced at Wang Jue and said, "Brother Wang, I know that you have always been interested in this girl. So, I gave you face this time and did not lose my temper. However, this time, we went to the treasure mountain together to seek fortuitous encounters. No matter what, you have to compensate me for my losses. "
Frost Cloud City's Young City Lord, Meng Xingwen, smiled in agreement and said, "We have noble statuses. We can destroy a Rank 6 clan with the flip of a hand in the Cloud Sea Domain. This Mo Chen is indeed somewhat outrageous. She even dares to attack Brother Shi's subordinate. This is indeed outrageous."
"We should teach this Mo Chen a lesson. Brother Wang Jue, you can't shield her anymore."
The others thought of something and took advantage of the opportunity to apply pressure as well.
These people had been drooling over Mo Chen's beauty and unique refining skills for a long time. However, she was in the Shattered Cloud Sea, so they did not dare to use force. Furthermore, they could not rely on their charm to win her heart.
In the end, they would still benefit Wang Jue. Naturally, the other seven felt upset.
These people held noble statuses in the Cloud Sea Domain, calling the wind and summoning the rain. They were like local tyrants, used to being arrogant and despotic.
Mo Chen had worn out their patience long ago. If not for Wang Jue, they would have used other evil methods long ago.
Wang Jue's expression changed. Soon, he smiled and said, "I understand what you all are thinking. There is no need to affect our relationship for a woman."
"Honestly speaking, I have worn out my patience as well."
Wang Jue's plan all along was to obtain both the woman and the wealth. He wanted to use his charm to subdue the other party. Not only would he obtain the Mo Clan's refining skills, but he would also obtain her heart.
However, after working hard for so many years, there was no effect. Now that the others were making things difficult for him, he decided to go with the flow. He could not be bothered to continue.
Shi Feng's eyes lit up. He had not expected his casual words to have such a miraculous effect. He said, "In that case, Brother Wang, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do?" Wang Jue smiled coldly and said, "Soon, she will come to the City Lord's Residence to deliver a set of Secret Treasures to me.
"At that time, I will give her one last chance. If she does not agree, hehe, I will directly capture her. I will not have any objections to what you all do."
"Hahaha!" Shi Feng laughed loudly and said, "Brother Wang is really generous. This Mo Chen deserves it. Brother Wang's status is the highest, and you have such deep feelings for her. However, she rejected the face I gave her. She is just asking for it."
Wang Jue sat down and took a sip of tea. "Let's continue our earlier topic. The treasure mountain is filled with danger. Not only are there many Demonic Beasts, but there are also many combat puppets refined by the Fire Li Sect, traps, formations, and restrictions. Our eight clans can only obtain the greatest benefits by working together.
"The two great merchant associations of the Cloud Sea Domain will definitely send people over. Also, some of the old fellows of the Cloud Sea Domain will be tempted."
"These are not the most worrying things. I'm just afraid that people from the Southern Sea and the Northern Sea will come as well."
"It's fine. A small place like the Cloud Sea Domain will not attract the attention of those people. Even if they come, so what? A strong dragon cannot suppress a snake in its territory. With our eight clans working together, they will have to think twice. "
The eight discussed with each other, studying the various variables of the trip to the treasure mountain.
…
Outside the City Lord's Residence, Xiao Chen and Mo Chen entered together. However, when Xiao Chen entered, a guard stopped him.
"The Young City Lord has ordered that only Miss Mo Chen is allowed to enter. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter the City Lord's Residence."
The guard at the door said to Xiao Chen coldly and arrogantly with a cold and arrogant expression.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, not liking the other party's tone.
"Never mind. Young Master Wen, go to the herb store in the city first. I'll meet up with you later," Mo Chen advised softly under the veil.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "In that case, be careful."
Mo Chen smiled faintly and said, "Haha! It's fine. I've been to this City Lord's Residence several times before. It is not a den of wolves or tigers. Just wait for me."
Seeing Mo Chen enter the City Lord's Residence, Xiao Chen had a bad feeling.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen turned and left. He had left a strand of Spiritual Sense on Mo Chen. As long as she was in danger, he could rush over immediately.
Although the two had a cooperative relationship, they did not have much of a friendship.
However, Xiao Chen was a man of his word. Since he agreed to be Mo Chen's bodyguard for one year, he would definitely ensure Mo Chen's safety for that year.
Hopefully, nothing happened. The City Lord's Residence was filled with experts. With Xiao Chen's current strength, it would be difficult for him to barge in.
However, if something really happened, even if the Blue Robed Emperor came out of closed-door cultivation, Xiao Chen would bring Mo Chen out without hesitation.
The largest herb store in Shattered Cloud City was called Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion.
Cultivators needed to use medicine when they got injured, to cultivate, and to break through bottlenecks. They also needed assistance.
No matter where, the business of a herb store would never be slow. A large city like Shattered Cloud City was no exception.
Rivers crisscrossed the city, waterways crisscrossed, and lakes formed clusters. Xiao Chen called over a small boat and paid some Astral Coins. The boatman set off, carrying Xiao Chen to Medicinal Cauldron Pavilion.
