As they walked forward, Xiao Chen sat in the middle and picked up his teacup. Then, he said indifferently, "Sorry, Heavenly Star Island just went through a great calamity. I do not have much to entertain you all with. If you all have a purpose, just say it."
The several old men sitting on both sides were stunned. According to the rules of this place, when the host picked up his teacup, it meant that he was sending off the guests.
When they heard Xiao Chen's words, it was clear that he was impatient and did not beat around the bush.
Everyone could not help but turn silent. The spacious hall was quiet and peaceful.
Lan Shaobai found it funny. Xiao Chen was really Xiao Chen. He knew that this group of people came with ill intentions. He did not bother with pleasantries at all, getting straight to the point, not playing by the rules.
"Haha! Unexpectedly, at such a young age, the Blue Dragon King's temper is not small at all. What is the meaning of this? Sending off the guests with tea? "
A gray-robed old man on the right, furthest from Xiao Chen, asked with a superficial smile.
Lan Shaobai sent a voice projection. This is the Fire Beacon Sect's Vice Sect Master, Qian Zongchao. He is considered a powerful person, especially with his palm strike. He is very incredible and famous in our sea region.
Xiao Chen understood and ignored this person. He said indifferently, "Heavenly Star Island just went through a great calamity. However, we also resolved some conflicts and took over all the subsidiary islands. I am very clear on what you are here for. Since you are not going to say it, I will say it for you.
"You are just here to probe out the situation, to see if I, Xiao Chen, can suppress such a large area. Then, to see if you have a chance to get some benefits for yourselves."
The expressions of the others froze. After Xiao Chen said what they were thinking, they all felt somewhat unnatural.
Only the Fire Beacon Sect's Vice Sect Master, Qian Zongchao, laughed loudly and said, "Blue Dragon King, you must be joking. Our Fire Beacon Sect is here to discuss cooperation."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and asked, "What kind of cooperation?"
"Naturally, it is a cooperation that is beneficial to both sides. Since Stellarsky City was destroyed, it will require a lot of resources to rebuild it. I am representing the Fire Beacon Sect to send money to the Blue Dragon King."
Right after Qian Zongchao spoke, he waved his hand, and a pile of Black Astral Coins flew out from his spatial ring. The faint light overlapped, dazzling the eyes. There should be about five million of them.
"Here is five million Black Astral Coins. Our Fire Beacon Sect wishes to purchase Black Flame Island from the Blue Dragon King," Qian Zongchao said casually.
Wanting to buy Black Flame Island with five million Black Astral Coins was simply daylight robbery.
Bang! Bang!
Seeing that Qian Zongchao had made his intentions clear, the other eight old men made their moves as well. Piles of Black Astral Coins appeared in the hall, reaching forty-five million Black Astral Coins.
This group of people had a startlingly large appetite. All that was left was the main island of Heavenly Star Island. They would have emptied out Xiao Chen's conferred land.
Forty-five million Black Astral Coins was already a huge sum. Even the peak Blue Robed Emperor would only have so much. Some of the weaker Rank 8 sects would not have more than this sum. Some might even have less.
Regular outstanding youths would find it hard to remain calm when they saw such a lineup. Their auras would be completely suppressed.
However, who was Xiao Chen? He had even seen one billion Black Astral Coins in the Dragon's Gate's Treasure Trove. This amount of money was like a drizzle to him.
Xiao Chen wanted to use his wealth to suppress others and occupy the island in his conferred land, leaving others speechless. This was a brilliant move. Even if the Bushin Palace pursued the matter, Xiao Chen could say that he had used money to buy the island. This would leave others speechless, and they could only blame Xiao Chen for not living up to expectations.
However, it was still the same as before. Playing this move before the rich Xiao Chen was like playing house. It was extremely laughable.
A trace of mockery flashed in Qian Zongchao's eyes. To think that a brat with no hair on his mouth wants to compete with us veterans. He is really naive.
Qian Zongchao put down his teacup and said indifferently, "I believe that the Blue Dragon King has never seen so much money before. With so many Black Astral Coins, it is sufficient for you to rebuild three Heavenly Star Cities."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he could not help laughing softly. Competing with me in wealth? What could be funnier than this?
Money came like a river and went like water. Before obtaining the Dragon's Gate's Treasure Trove, the Black Astral Coins in Xiao Chen's hands were already more than the pile of money here.
Furthermore, after obtaining the Dragon's Gate's Treasure Trove, Heavenly Star Island's accumulated wealth was no weaker than the Nine Ranks of the Great Families.
If Xiao Chen included that King Spirit Vein, even the Holy Lands would not dare to boast so shamelessly before him.
"What are you laughing at?!" When Qian Zongchao saw the mocking smile on Xiao Chen's face, he felt a strange rage.
Seated in the middle, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I'm laughing at your shameless boasting. You only took out five million Black Astral Coins and still dare to boast before me, saying that you want to buy Black Flame Island. You say that I have never seen money before. I'm afraid that you do not know what true wealth is! "
"How arrogant! How many Black Astral Coins can you take out? You …"
Before Qian Zongchao could finish speaking, his jaw dropped. The shock in his eyes was so great that he could not continue.
There was no other reason. Xiao Chen waved his hand, and piles of Black Astral Coins appeared. There was a total of nine piles. Each pile was twice the amount of Black Astral Coins that the Nine Ranks of the Great Families took out.
There was no more, no less. Xiao Chen took out a total of ninety million Black Astral Coins alone.
"If money can solve everything, then I will buy your entire Fire Beacon Sect with these ninety million Black Astral Coins. Do you agree?!" Xiao Chen shouted as he stood up. An overwhelming aura pressed down on Qian Zongchao.
The nine old men felt stifled in their hearts. Their thoughts went wild, and they found it somewhat difficult to control themselves.
Originally, they wanted to use a large number of Black Astral Coins to crush Xiao Chen's will. Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen would turn the tables on them? This shocked them, and they immediately fell silent. Their auras were completely suppressed by Xiao Chen.
This was especially so for Qian Zongchao. His face alternated between red and green, feeling very sullen. When faced with Xiao Chen's interrogation, he felt stifled, not knowing how to reply.
"Damn it! No matter what, you have to sell Black Flame Island to my Fire Beacon Sect. You have to sell it whether you want to or not. "
Unable to think of anything to say, Qian Zongchao directly stated his purpose, shedding all pretense of cordiality.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, becoming even more at ease. He slowly walked down and said calmly, "What's wrong? Are you trying to force me to sell it?"
Qian Zongchao calmed down and remembered the Sect Master's instructions. He should do his best not to shed all pretense of cordiality. At the very least, he should not do so openly. He could not leave any room for discussion.
After calming himself, Qian Zongchao said coldly, "I don't dare to. Our Fire Beacon Sect is rather famous. We never do things like force. I have long heard of the Blue Dragon King's unparalleled glory, instantly defeating all the outstanding talents of the world in one move at the Four Seas Hero Gathering. Do you dare to make a bet with this Qian? "
Xiao Chen asked indifferently, "What do you want to bet?"
Qian Zongchao replied coldly, "You instantly defeated all the outstanding talents of the world in one move at the Four Seas Hero Gathering. I will bet with you in one move as well. We will only compete in one move. Whoever is at a disadvantage will be the loser. If you lose, you will sell Black Flame Island to me. Don't say that my Fire Beacon Sect is forcing you to sell it. If I lose, I will apologize, and the Fire Beacon Sect will not seek trouble for Heavenly Star Island anymore. "
The moment Qian Zongchao said that, the crowd burst into an uproar. Right now, Xiao Chen was only an early-stage Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor. As for Qian Zongchao, he was at the peak of the Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, having cultivated for a hundred years.
Furthermore, Qian Zongchao's Palm Technique made him famous among the many factions in the nearby sea region.
His palm contained a boundless sea of fire and a horrifying explosive force. He had even smashed a Small Perfection Blue Robed Emperor to death with one palm strike.
"Blue Dragon King, do you dare to agree?!"
Seeing that Xiao Chen was only an early-stage Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, Qian Zongchao felt very confident. He stepped forward and pressed on.
Lan Shaobai stopped Qian Zongchao and said, "Xiao Chen, don't fall for his trick. The Cultivation Technique, Martial Technique, and killing moves he cultivates are all explosive. When he fights with others, if he cannot severely injure his opponent with one palm strike, he will quickly flee."
Lan Shaobai had a very clear understanding of Qian Zongchao's information, so he advised Xiao Chen not to be rash.
Xiao Chen understood what Lan Shaobai meant. Some people were stuck at a certain bottleneck for their entire lives, unable to improve.
After that, they would take an unconventional path and think of other ways to raise their combat prowess.
This Qian Zongchao before Xiao Chen was one of those people. He focused all his attention on how to increase his explosive power.
Qian Zongchao wanted to use money to suppress Xiao Chen but ended up being humiliated by Xiao Chen. So, he thought of this method to regain his momentum.
If Xiao Chen did not agree, he would be seen as a coward. Qian Zongchao would use this to spread the rumor. Furthermore, Qian Zongchao would continuously seek trouble for him in the future.
If Xiao Chen agreed, he would be playing into Qian Zongchao's hands. Qian Zongchao would not lose out no matter what.
Waving his hand, Xiao Chen told Lan Shaobai not to say anything else. There were so many Vice Sect Masters watching. If Xiao Chen could resolve this matter well, he would be able to deter the surrounding factions, which would be of great benefit to Heavenly Star Island.
Even though Xiao Chen knew that Qian Zongchao was trying to goad him, he still had to go.
The most important thing was that Xiao Chen was not afraid of competing in explosive power. If it were a fair fight, he would drag it out.
Given the depth of Qian Zongchao's cultivation, Xiao Chen would be at a disadvantage. It would be much more difficult to defeat Qian Zongchao, and he would have to pay a higher price as well.
A clash of moves was exactly what Xiao Chen wanted.
Qian Zongchao, who did not know that he had run into trouble, smiled and said, "How is it? Don't tell me that you, the bona fide Blue Dragon King, are afraid of an old man like me?"
"I promise you." Xiao Chen smiled faintly as he stared at Qian Zongchao. Qian Zongchao could not blame him for seeking his own humiliation.
Discussions immediately broke out in the hall. The other eight old men were all very surprised. After learning about Qian Zongchao and his cultivation, Xiao Chen still chose to agree.
The others withdrew and cleared out the Black Astral Coins, creating an empty space. The buildings in the hall all had restrictions infused into them, which could endure a battle at the level of the Blue Robed Emperor. As long as it was not a drawn-out battle, they could settle it in one move.
Lan Shaobai knew that he could not dissuade Xiao Chen, so he sighed and retreated to the back as well.
"Hehe! The Blue Dragon King truly lives up to his reputation as the Blue Dragon King. Unfortunately, you are too young. Today, I'll tell you that the older, the wiser!"
After Qian Zongchao spoke, he raised his leg and took a step forward. He did not move at all, but he arrived before Xiao Chen in an instant. Then, he threw a palm strike.
The instant Qian Zongchao sent out his palm strike, the aura of a boundless sea of fire erupted.
