Mysterious Nether Courtyard No. 73.
"100 Heaven Origin Pills." A middle-aged man in a short brown robe said directly, "Give me the Mysterious Nether Token, and our Patriarch promises that you'll receive a favor from our family. If you need it in the future, you can ask our family to help you with one thing."
"Get out," Chen Zong's response was very direct.
"Chen Zong, although you're a prodigy on the Nether List and have great potential, you're only a Half-Saint now. Don't be too arrogant," the middle-aged man said angrily.
How could he not be angry when a dignified Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse personally paid him a visit and even offered him generous conditions?
"Scram!" Chen Zong was even more rude.
"You …" The Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse was about to explode from anger.
"Or do you want to fight here?" Chen Zong stared at the man indifferently without any fear.
He was only a mere Third Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse. Not to mention they were in the Mysterious Nether Zone, where the other party would not dare to fight. Even if the other party dared to fight, Chen Zong could use the Asura Clone to fight back. Perhaps he could not defeat the other party, but he could at least fight back a little.
The Asura Clone's strength was improving every moment as he cultivated.
Moreover, the Mysterious Nether Token was his opportunity. The other party coveted his opportunity and tried to snatch it away. He even threatened him, yet he still wanted Chen Zong to treat him with kindness?
"Remember, you're ruining your own future." The middle aged man spoke furiously, and he fiercely left behind these words before abruptly turning around and leaving with a gust of strong wind.
He was furious and wanted to kill Chen Zong with one hand, but he did not dare to do so.
This was because a faintly discernible aura had locked onto him. As soon as he showed any signs of attacking, he would be crushed like a little bug before he could even hit Chen Zong.
It might even affect the family behind him.
Since he could not make a move, he could only retreat in frustration.
After seeing the other party leave, Chen Zong deactivated the defensive barrier and cleared his mind before he continued to cultivate.
Since he obtained the Mysterious Nether Token, this was the second time someone had come to him. The first time, they wanted to take the Mysterious Nether Token from him by force. They did not pay him anything and only gave him an empty promise.
The second time was just now. Xiao Chen had paid the price of one hundred Heavenly Essence Pills and a so-called favor from his clan.
Comparatively speaking, the second time was much better than the first time. After all, one hundred Heaven Origin Pills was a lot.
However, the Dark Nether Token represented a rare opportunity, and its value was naturally even higher.
Not to mention 100 Heaven Primary Elixirs, even if it was 200 or 300 Heaven Primary Elixirs, Chen Zong would not give it away.
Obtaining Heavenly Essence Pills would increase one's wealth. However, obtaining fortuitous encounters would increase one's foundation and strength. If one was strong enough, one would naturally be able to obtain more wealth.
Wealth was linked to strength.
The more powerful one was, the more wealth one could obtain.
If one was weak, no matter how much wealth they had, they wouldn't be able to protect it.
Chen Zong had long known which was more important. He would not be deceived or confused.
A few days later, the door of the 73rd Xuanming Courtyard was knocked on again. Someone had come to visit.
However, whether it was a normal visit or a visit with a covetous nature was still unknown.
He opened the door and welcomed the guests.
There were two people standing outside the door, a man and a woman. They didn't look very old, probably about the same age as him. However, it was hard to tell their actual age at a glance. Perhaps they were older or younger than him.
However, the aura fluctuations they emitted revealed their cultivation.
Advanced Half-Saint!
In the Tianyuan Sacred Region, there were many Half-Saints, and most of them were young.
"Chaotic Sword Chen Zong, I am Sheng Yuan from the Dark Nether Palace. This is my junior sister, Minglan," the young man said directly. He seemed humble, but there was a hint of arrogance hidden in his voice.
"Mountain Bearer Lord Sheng Yuan?" Chen Zong's tone was somewhat rhetorical.
There was indeed a person named Sheng Yuan on the Dark Nether Palace. He was a disciple of the Dark Nether Palace and was called Mountain Bearer Lord. He was a Monarch Level genius and ranked 62nd on the Dark Nether Ranking.
"That's me." The arrogance in Sheng Yuan's voice became more obvious.
The source of his arrogance was the Dark Nether Palace and the Dark Nether Ranking genius.
"Brother Sheng Yuan, what can I do for you?" Chen Zong did not beat around the bush.
He did not have any relationship with Sheng Yuan and had never interacted with him before. However, Sheng Yuan had come looking for him, so there must be a reason.
It had always been Chen Zong's style to say what he had to say.
"Of course there is a reason." Sheng Yuan's arrogance grew even stronger. He was implying that he would not have come looking for Chen Zong if there was no reason. He said condescendingly, "Not long ago, you obtained a Dark Nether Token."
Chen Zong's eyes darkened. As expected, Sheng Yuan was here for the Dark Nether Token again.
"Chaotic Sword Chen Zong, the Dark Nether Token belongs to the Dark Nether Palace. It should belong to the Dark Nether Palace," Sheng Yuan continued. Sheng Yuan continued. His goal was to obtain a Xuanming Token for his junior sister, Minglan. This would allow his junior sister, who was in love with him, to enter the Xuanming Small World and advance by leaps and bounds. Naturally, if he wanted to obtain a Xuanming Token, he would have to target the other geniuses on the Netherworld Ranking.
Chen Zong was in the first batch of people he had selected to obtain a Dark Nether Token.
Lone Cultivators were the easiest to target and threaten.
Previously, someone had already successfully obtained a Dark Nether Token from a lone cultivator on the Dark Nether Ranking.
"Naturally, I'm here to return the Dark Nether Token to its rightful owner," Sheng Yuan said solemnly.
"The Dark Nether Token was personally delivered to me by the Dark Nether Palace's envoy. It belongs to me." Chen Zong's tone was extremely firm. He was indirectly telling Sheng Yuan not to covet the Dark Nether Token in his hands.
"I said that the Dark Nether Token belongs to the Dark Nether Palace. It should belong to the Dark Nether Palace's disciples." Sheng Yuan took a step forward with an overbearing aura. His eyes flickered with an extremely sharp light, as if he wanted to pierce through Chen Zong's body. He brought along an intense pressure.
However, this kind of pressure was like a breeze to Chen Zong. It was not a threat at all.
"You can try." Chen Zong smiled coldly without fear.
Sheng Yuan felt a headache coming on. Before he came, he had heard that Chen Zong was a thorn in his side and would not be easy to subdue.
"I've always been a reasonable person." Sheng Yuan touched his forehead and said again, "Hand over the Dark Nether Token and you can make a request of me. Otherwise, I can be your referrer and let you join the Dark Nether Palace."
Chen Zong could not help but snort.
Although Sheng Yuan's ranking was higher than his, he was only a Half-Saint after all.
A Half-Saint who was only ranked 62nd on the Dark List actually said that he could make a request. That was too big of a deal. Moreover, he even said that he would be the referrer and let him join the Dark Nether Palace.
With his talent, the Dark Nether Palace would definitely welcome him if he was willing. There was no need for a referrer.
"My Senior Brother is so polite. How can you be so ungrateful?" Ming Lang frowned and scolded Chen Zong angrily.
"Polite?" Chen Zong glanced at the lady. He did not know if she was lying through her teeth or if she was brainless. However, Chen Zong did not intend to explain himself.
"I'll say it again. The Dark Nether Token belongs to me," Chen Zong said seriously. After that, he closed the courtyard door and shut Sheng Yuan and his Junior Sister outside.
Looking at the closed courtyard door, Sheng Yuan and his Junior Sister Ming Lan were stunned at first. Then, they were furious.
A mere Individual Cultivator dared to do this.
"Very well." Sheng Yuan took a deep breath. He felt that his chest was filled with shocking anger. It was about to explode like a volcanic eruption and destroy everything. "You're forcing me to use other means."
"Senior Brother." Ming Lan looked at the angry Sheng Yuan and was a little worried.
"Junior Sister, it's okay." Sheng Yuan suppressed the anger that was about to explode and smiled at Ming Lan. "Junior Sister, I've decided to give you my Dark Nether Token. As for the Dark Nether Token that I need, I'll get it from Chen Zong."
"Senior Brother, are you going to challenge Chen Zong?" Ming Lan asked in surprise.
"That's right," Sheng Yuan said. Initially, he did not want to take this step. After all, his ranking on the Underworld Ranking was higher than Chen Zong's by more than ten places. Moreover, he was an important disciple of the Xuanming Palace. His opponent was just a Individual Cultivator. How could he be compared to him?
Taking the initiative to challenge Chen Zong was an act of condescension and lowering his status. Moreover, if he gave the Dark Nether Token to his Junior Sister Ming Lan, it would not be so simple. She would have to challenge him first and defeat him before she could get his Dark Nether Token.
Then, his name would disappear from the Underworld Ranking and be replaced by Ming Lan.
However, Chen Zong was forcing him to take this step now.
"Chen Zong, we'll fight on the battle arena in three days. I'll take your Dark Nether Token." Sheng Yuan roared. His voice turned into rolling thunder and struck the Xuanming Courtyard and the surroundings.
This kind of challenge had to be applied to the Xuanming District first and then arranged. It would take at least three days. That was why Sheng Yuan said three days later.
Of course, Chen Zong could reject this kind of challenge.
Otherwise, it would be a mess if he could not reject it.
However, why would Chen Zong reject it?
This was a gathering for him to train himself. Why would he reject it?
Since he did not reject it, the battle would be in three days.
Once the news spread, it caused a huge commotion.
Ever since Chen Zong appeared in the Xuanming City, he had caused quite a commotion and left a deep impression on everyone.
"Lord Zhang Yue actually took the initiative to issue a challenge. His ranking on the Underworld Ranking is higher than Chen Zong by more than ten places."
"I heard that it's for the Dark Nether Token."
"You guys don't know yet, right? Sheng Yuan purposely let his Junior Sister challenge him in order to get Chen Zong's Dark Nether Token and admitted defeat. That's why he's no longer on the Underworld Ranking."
"I see."
Everyone was enlightened.
At this stage, the Dark Nether Token was the main character and had caused a huge commotion. There were often things that were related to the Dark Nether Token.
For example, challenges!
For example, threats and promises!
Wait a minute!
Now, the Chaotic Universe Sword Chen Zong was being challenged by a Dark Nether Token who was more than ten places higher than him. This person was an important disciple of the Dark Nether Palace.
For three days, Chen Zong was not affected by the outside world. He cultivated wholeheartedly and tried his best to increase his strength.
Regardless of his personality, Sheng Yuan was an important disciple of the Dark Nether Palace. He had the inheritance of the Dark Nether Palace and was ranked 62nd on the Underworld Ranking. He was extremely powerful and could not be underestimated.
This battle concerned the ownership of the Dark Nether Token. There was no room for mistakes. If his original body could not defeat his opponent, Chen Zong would use the Innate Ferocious Force Field to suppress his opponent.
However, if he could avoid using the power of the Asura avatar, he would not use it. He would use his original body's strength to deal with the battle. In that case, he would need to further increase his original body's strength.
In three days, his cultivation level did not change. However, his sword skills had improved.
Three days later, Chen Zong was ready to set off. His essence, Qi, and spirit were at their peak. He pushed open the door and strode out of the Dark Nether District toward the battle arena.
At the fighting arena, there was already a sea of people.
None of the battles on the Underworld Ranking could be missed.
