In the eyes of the shadow, even if Qin Chen was strong, the Young Master definitely had the power to fight.
“You don’t understand. When the dragon's chant sword was restrained by the opponent before, I felt the sword trembling,” said the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower, fear still lingering in his heart. “Do you know what this means?”
“The dragon's chant sword is trembling?” The shadow gasped.
The dragon's chant sword was a top-tier divine weapon bestowed by the Young Master’s family, with extraordinary power and a spirit of its own. It had accompanied the ancestors of the Young Master’s family in battles across the lands, achieving great military exploits.
This sword, having fought alongside the ancestors for so many years, naturally contained a special spirituality that allowed it to sense the presence of strong individuals.
A powerful being that could make the dragon's chant sword tremble was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying existence.
After all, when the Young Master’s ancestors fought in the cosmic sea, they achieved tremendous military exploits, causing blood to flow in many factions. How could an ordinary strong individual not be looked down upon by them?
“Young Master, are you sure the dragon's chant sword is trembling?” The shadow couldn’t help but ask again. If this were true, how terrifying must Qin Chen be?
“The dragon's chant sword was bestowed upon me by my ancestor and has communicated with me. How could I misperceive that?” The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower said solemnly.
“Then what should we do next?” The shadow trembled. If anything happened to the Young Master here, he would be unable to absolve himself from blame even with a thousand deaths.
“Don’t be afraid.” After thinking for a moment, the Lord of the Sky Outside Tower said, “Qin Chen should be a reasonable person. Since he agreed to let us go in front of so many witnesses, as long as we do not provoke him again, there should be no issues. Moreover, I gave him six million Emperor Crystals, which took our Sky Outside Tower many years to accumulate. He wouldn’t hurt us over that.”
“That’s good.” The shadow breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, then said, “Young Master, what if we withdraw?”
“No.” The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower shook his head, “Although the Sky Outside Tower in Southern Origin City isn’t much, it’s still something my family fought for. If I simply give up, I will lose a lot of face in the family elder council. It will be almost impossible to hope for any family authority in the future.”
The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower's presence here was a kind of trial from heaven beyond heaven and his family, similar to Saroya. Leaving directly would be simple, but it also represented that his future ambitions to hold power in the family would become incredibly difficult.
“But what about Qin Chen…” The shadow trembled, genuinely afraid after hearing the Lord's words. The Young Master must not be in any danger.
“Let me think, think…” The Lord of the Sky Outside Tower murmured, his mind racing.
Inside the city lord's mansion.
Mo Yunxiao had returned to the main hall where the city lord was located.
“City Lord, why did you stop me from dealing with Qin Chen and instead made me compensate him one million Emperor Crystals? Doesn’t this tarnish the reputation of the Mo Yun Noble Family in Southern Origin City? It will certainly provoke disdain from various forces.”
Mo Yunxiao couldn’t help but say, “Although Qin Chen is extraordinary, as long as you are willing to take action, City Lord, combined with many strong individuals from the Mo Yun Noble Family, we can defeat even a late-stage great emperor, let alone just one.”
Having grown up in the Mo Yun Noble Family, Mo Yunxiao placed immense importance on family interests and honor. When Qin Chen had not been disrespectful to the city lord's mansion, he could act humble and solicitous.
But once Qin Chen threatened the honor of the city lord's mansion, he would be willing to risk everything to eliminate the threat and maintain family reputation.
