Martial Master

Everyone was confused. Whether it was Qin Chen monopolizing 40% of the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits or the previous conflict with Feng Lei's son, Gu Cang Martial Emperor shouldn't be treating Qin Chen so politely, right?

Qin Chen nodded, "That's right."

As an eighth-level Array Master and the top genius of the Alchemy Pavilion, he didn’t need to be so fearful in front of Gu Cang Martial Emperor. Moreover, his combat power was not inferior to that of an eighth-level late-stage Martial Emperor, so there was no trace of fear on his face.

"Interesting, an eighth-level Array Master and a genius in Alchemy from the Four-Domains," Gu Cang Martial Emperor smiled. "Are you interested in joining my Xuanyuan Empire?"

Gu Cang Martial Emperor unexpectedly extended an olive branch to Qin Chen.

What was going on?

Everyone was astonished.

Things seemed to be developing completely differently from what they had imagined.

However, in the next moment, everyone gasped in shock and had to admit that Gu Cang Martial Emperor's methods were indeed sharp.

Regardless of Qin Chen's talent, cultivation, or strength, he stood out among the prodigies. Although he had joined the Alchemy Pavilion, it was merely selected from the lower Four-Domains rather than being directly trained.

If he could pull this man into his own faction, it would not only be a great achievement but would also significantly embarrass the Alchemy Pavilion.

Qin Chen smiled lightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Gu Cang Martial Emperor. However, I am originally a member of the Alchemy Pavilion, and moreover, I have no good feelings for your empire, so I’ll have to decline. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave."

Qin Chen didn't know what Gu Cang Martial Emperor was up to, and he didn't want to know. Additionally, this wasn’t a good place for a fight, so he naturally didn’t want to engage with the other party.

Everyone was shocked and speechless, secretly thinking that Qin Chen was indeed bold.

To say that he had no good feelings for the Xuanyuan Empire in front of Gu Cang Martial Emperor was tantamount to slapping Gu Cang Martial Emperor's face, right?

Sure enough, Gu Cang Martial Emperor's expression suddenly darkened. He only said that casually, but he didn’t expect Qin Chen to not show any respect at all and even dared to belittle his Xuanyuan Empire, making him feel quite displeased.

However, for some reason, he soon smiled slightly and said, "Alright, since you have no interest in this, I won’t force you."

He paused slightly and continued, "However, the spiritual treasures here belong to those fated. I heard that you previously acquired quite a few Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits. I hope you can hand them over."

Everyone's eyelids twitched—here came the main event. Qin Chen sneered, knowing full well that the other party wanted the Seven-Colored Spirit Fruits. There was no need for so much talk. He was neither afraid nor intimidated, saying, "Heavenly materials and earth treasures are to be obtained by the fated and the capable. I, Qin, have indeed acquired quite a few Spirit Fruits, but they were obtained through my own hard work. Is it too much for Gu Cang Martial Emperor to say such things?"

Everyone's hearts raced. Was Qin Chen planning to openly tear his face off with Gu Cang Martial Emperor?

Even if the Spirit Fruits were rightfully his, since Gu Cang Martial Emperor had come, he had initially obtained 40% of them. At the very least, he should hand over a large portion, right? Was he really planning to not give up even a single fruit?

No matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly be Gu Cang Martial Emperor's opponent.

After all, this was a world where the strong were respected!

Gu Cang Martial Emperor was an established late-stage Martial Emperor, a strong figure of the Xuanyuan Empire. Qin Chen had the audacity to directly refute Gu Cang Martial Emperor, which naturally made everyone’s hearts tremble with apprehension.

"Are you refusing the request of this Emperor?" Gu Cang Martial Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly as he said indifferently.
