Chapter 301: A Loan To You

After comforting Xia Xishuang, Chen Chen contacted Yu Qiong, and just as he was about to tell her everything honestly, Yu Qiong arrived in Wufeng City.

Looking at his master, whose aura had changed greatly because she had reached the Void Refinement realm, Chen Chen could not help but click his tongue with surprise.

Compared to when they first met, Yu Qiong looked completely different. Not only had her appearance become much better, but her ethereal aura had become more and more obvious. It was like her immortal aura would seep out with a slight vibration.

Chen Chen suspected that she had reached the realm of self-deception after cultivating to the Void Refinement realm, so much that she was convinced by her own lie.

Although Chen Chen felt disgusted, he nevertheless told Yu Qiong everything.

“Master, since you’re already here, here’s what happened with the demons…”

…

After Yu Qiong heard it, she was no longer as elegant as before. Her expression was extremely sullen, and her eyes were full of murderous intent. She immediately turned from a fairy to a demoness.

“Just you wait, I’m going to tell the Master and the rest!”

Yu Qiong humphed coldly and took out several communication tokens to relay the news.

Chen Chen watched silently from the side and waited for Yu Qiong to spread the news before saying, “Master, I’ll make a trip to the demon’s territory. Maybe, I can get the chance to find that Demon God’s descendant.”

Yu Qiong looked at Chen Chen with her eyes full of surprise.

“When did you become so sensible?”

Hearing her words, Chen Chen laughed bitterly and said, “I’m not being sensible. As the saying goes, the stronger you are, the greater your responsibility. I can’t help it, I have to assume a responsibility that doesn’t match my age and cultivation level at all…”

For once, Yu Qiong didn’t insult him and instead, fell silent.

Of course, she was aware of Chen Chen’s competency and even took the chance of winning plenty of treasures.

With his sensitivity towards treasures and the Adversity-Overcoming Seal, someone like him is indeed likely to find that Demon God’s descendant.

‘But what does this kid mean? Is he hinting that we’re incompetent?’

‘Psht!’

After cursing in her heart, Yu Qiong said with a calm expression, “I’ve already informed the few clan masters of this matter, and their divine senses will descend immediately! When the time comes, they will make a decision.”

Indeed, as soon as she finished speaking, four shadows suddenly appeared in Wufeng City.

“Divine sense manifestation… Impressive.”

Looking at the four shadows, Clan Master sighed. The cultivation levels of the four clan masters were probably around the late-stage of the Void Refinement realm and were the strongest among the two races.

The clan master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan began to praise Chen Chen as soon as he saw him.

“Grand-disciple, your cultivation level has reached the Essence Soul realm too. It’s my first time to see someone who can achieve so much within a short period of dual cultivation.”

After saying that, he looked at the other three clan masters, his eyes full of complacency.

The other three were completely speechless. ‘How can this old man be in the mood to show off at a time like this?’

The Demon Venerable of the Seven Lethal Demon Clan ignored the old man and instead, looked at Yu Qiong.

“Was what you mentioned in your message to me just now, true?”

Yu Qiong glanced at Chen Chen and said, “Absolutely.”

…

Fifteen minutes later, all four clan masters basically came to terms with reality and looked at Chen Chen.

They also had an understanding of Chen Chen’s thoughts.

Chen Chen was familiar with the Demon Courts’ envoy, but his cultivation level was below the Void Refinement realm, and he was good at searching for things too. Indeed, he was the best candidate for heading to the demon territory.

Being watched by four super powerhouses, Chen Chen felt a bit nervous. After a moment of hesitation, he took out the Little Carefree Immortal Palace.

“Clan Masters, why don’t any one of you come out to go with me on a trip to the demons’ territory?”

The four clan masters looked at the Little Carefree Immortal Palace before turning to look at Chen Chen again as if they were looking at a fool.

In the end, the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan master finally said, “Chen Chen, your spatial treasure is pretty good, but once you step into the Void Refinement realm, you will have already formed a connection with this heaven and earth. An ordinary Small World cannot withstand the pressure of our presence.”

Chen Chen’s face turned sullen after hearing that.

‘There’s actually such a thing…’ Chen Chen initially thought that he could one day shove all the Void Refinement realm and human cultivators into his secret space, and take them to the demons’ territory for some sneak attacks.

He didn’t expect it to be overthinking on his part.

Besides, if he couldn’t take all the Void Refinement realm cultivators with him to the demons’ territory, he would have to go there on his own.

If he got trapped in the demons’ territory, he would die alone.

“Ah!”

Thinking of this, Chen Chen’s face was gradually covered in melancholy.

According to the plan, no matter how incompetent he may be, he had to bring Yu Qiong over so that the losses to the human race wouldn’t be terrible even if all of them died.

More importantly, he wouldn’t have to worry about someone coveting his inheritance in the future.

However, they were now nothing but unfulfillable dreams.

Besides, if he were to blatantly bring some Void Refinement realm powerhouses there, he would attract the attention of the demons, and once he gets targeted, he would be in deep trouble.

Besides, if the Heavenly Diabolism master detected that he was surrounded by Void Refinement realm cultivators, she would probably avoid him.

Seeing the expression on Chen Chen’s face, Yu Qiong sighed and said tenderly with a look of pity, “Chen Chen, I may have accepted many disciples, but you are the most outstanding one. Now that I can’t follow you to the demons’ territory for the sake of the human race, I can only give you this thing in hopes that it will keep you safe.”

As Yu Qiong spoke, she waved her hand, and an elixir bottle flew towards Chen Chen, after which, she looked at the four clan masters with an ambiguous gaze in her eyes.

The four clan masters were stunned, but a moment later, the clan master of the Haoran Sword Clan spoke up and threw out a small sword that was only as long as a finger.

“Chen Chen, this magic treasure is called the Body-Shattering Sword. It contains a wisp of Void Refinement realm Sword Qi, which will make ordinary Essence Soul realm cultivators die of a backlash after using it. However, since you’re a Body Refinement cultivator, you should be able to withstand it. You may have this.”

Seeing that the clan master of the Haoran Sword Clan was smiling benevolently, Clan Master took the Body-Shattering Sword from him, respectfully before bowing.

“Thank you for your generous love, Clan Master!”

“You are Xishuang’s Dao partner, so that makes you half a disciple in my eyes.”

The Haoran Sword Clan Master smiled while stroking his beard, his eyes full of admiration.

The Seven Lethal Demon Clan master frowned and reluctantly took out an internal armor before handing it to Chen Chen.

“This is the Seven Lethal Demon Clan’s strongest defensive treasure so far… I’ll lend it to you for a few days, remember to return it to me when you’re back.”

He emphasized strongly the word “lend”, but Chen Chen did not care much and bowed.

The old clan master of the Void Spirit Clan saw this and took out a small boat.

“Since they gave you an attack and a defense treasure respectively, I’ll give you this. It’s one of the greatest treasures of the Void Spirit Clan, named the Void Transcendence Boat. It’s a treasure for escape. You can power it with your full strength for an hour, during which even Void Refinement realm experts won’t be able to catch up to you.”

Hearing his words, Chen Chen felt grateful, and his sense of security rose too.

Meanwhile, the Seven Lethal Demon Clan’s Demon Venerable who was at the side, corrected, “It’s a loan, not a gift!”

The crowd did not respond.

Since they gave it to Chen Chen, they were prepared to never take it back again. After all, they were going to confront the demons, and it was unknown if Chen Chen would make it back alive.

If he died, those treasures would naturally be gone.

In that case, what difference does it make whether it is a gift or a loan?

After giving the treasures to Chen Chen, the three of them unanimously looked at the Clan Master of the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan, who was the richest among them.

The Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan master ignored their gazes and kept his eyes fixed on Chen Chen. He sighed and said, “It’s not easy for the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan to produce a disciple like him…”

After saying that, his face turned slightly pale, and he handed a storage bag to Chen Chen.

The storage bag seemed to contain a living being that was wriggling at the moment.

Seeing this scene, the other three clan masters’ facial expressions changed drastically as they seemed to be astonished but remained silent nevertheless.

On the other hand, Yu Qiong became extremely agitated as she exclaimed loudly, “Master… this is not useful! If he loses it, I’m afraid your strength will be greatly affected!

The Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan master glanced at her and stroked his beard, pretending not to be bothered. “It’s fine, Chen Chen is already willing to put his life at risk and is ready to sacrifice himself. No matter what, I can’t disappoint him.”

After he said that, the storage bag flew towards Chen Chen and wriggled into Chen Chen’s storage ring.

Seeing this, the Jade Tripod Alchemy Clan master’s cheeks twitched, and he couldn’t help but remind. “Grand-disciple, you must pay attention to your safety. This item is a loan to you too…”
