Chapter 407: Chapter 170: “Thank you to Chao Tian Sect for helping our sect eliminate the sinners.” _4
“Don’t be nervous, we come with good intentions and mean you no harm,”
“If we did have ill intentions, we wouldn’t have brought just these few people. Calling a few at the Divinity Transformation level would have been possible.”
“Let me introduce myself.”
“I am Qiao Jian from the Qiao Family in the Central Region and also the future Family Head of the Qiao Family. The several people behind me are also from the Central Region. Any power behind them is stronger than the strongest force in Quzhou.”
“We had already held you in high regard.”

“But we didn’t expect that you could break through from the first to the fifth level of Nascent Soul in just over three days, and we didn’t anticipate that as soon as you stepped into Nascent Soul, your combat strength could crush the peak of Nascent Soul.”
...
“Honestly, you have indeed exceeded all of our expectations.”
“…”
Chen Qiu sat at the stall, not moving a muscle as he looked up at the group, then he picked up the porcelain bowl to take another sip of meat soup before wiping his mouth with a handkerchief and said carelessly, “Do I look nervous to you?”
“You don’t,” Qiao Jian said with a smile as he sat in front of Chen Qiu, “On the contrary, I’m a little nervous. After all, it’s my first time speaking with such a Heavenly Pride like you.”
The woman following behind Qiao Jian looked at his back when she heard this and couldn’t help showing a hint of admiration again.
Such a person with emotional intelligence.
Indeed worthy of the title Heavenly Pride.
A clever remark effortlessly resolved the ill intentions in Chen Qiu’s tone, letting the rhythm of the conversation return to his own control. Heaven’s Prides from the Central Region just have an extra bit of charisma compared to those from other places.
Afterward, Qiao Jian stood up specially, revealing the woman standing behind him and respectfully introduced her, saying, “Allow me to introduce, this lady is the only sister of the Young Master of the ‘Three Springs Building’ from the Central Region.”
“The power of Three Springs Building in the Central Region is second only to the top forces, always neutral, and never involved in strife.”
“Compared to other forces that have been passed down for a long time, Three Springs Building has risen from an obscure power in the Central Region to a position just below the top forces in only seven hundred years, which speaks volumes about the speed of Three Springs Building’s rise.”
“And the current Young Master of Three Springs Building is also the youngest ever in its history.”
“The Young Master is ambitious. With troubled times approaching, most top forces have chosen to close their doors and retreat from the world out of fear, but as the saying goes, not advancing is retreating. Three Springs Building has decided to abandon their neutrality and gather talented individuals from all over the world to stake their claim in the imminent chaos.”
“This lady here is the only sister of the Young Master, Xia Ruyu.”
“She represents the Three Springs Building.”
“Hmm.”
Chen Qiu nodded, looked at the people gently, and smiled, “So… what brings you here?”
“Our purpose is to invite you, Chen Qiu, to join us in sharing a piece of the pie in these chaotic times,”
“No thanks.”
Chen Qiu shook his head and said offhandedly, “I also plan to close my doors and avoid the world; I’m afraid.”
Just then—
“Chen Qiu.”
The serious-faced Xia Ruyu, standing behind Qiao Jian, gazed earnestly at Chen Qiu and said, “We can discuss this matter later; I can give you enough time to consider, but before that, could you tell us how you managed to break through from the first to the fifth level of Nascent Soul in just three days?”
“It’s really important to us.”
“With each small realm breakthrough in Nascent Soul, even the Heaven’s Pride of the Central Region needs at least half a year at the fastest.”
“I know this may be presumptuous.”
“But we are willing to offer a token of sincerity in exchange. As long as you tell us the method, we are ready to provide a substantial reward. The specific compensation will depend on the value of the information you provide. As long as it is valuable, we will certainly not be stingy.”
“And…”
“No ‘and,'” Chen Qiu sighed irritably. He just wanted a vacation; why are there always such nuisances finding him? He stood up immediately and walked out of the stall.
But just then—
“Boom!”
The Divinity Transformation Cultivation burst forth violently within Great Yuan City. Chen Qiu suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned to look at the elderly man standing behind the girl, and after a long silence, burst into laughter.
“A Divinity Transformation Protector, I indeed overlooked that.”
“So it seems, if I do not reveal how I cultivated, you are prepared to resort to force?”
Xia Ruyu shook her head sincerely and gazed at Chen Qiu, “We have no ill intentions; we only hope to invite you to join us, and we are willing to pay a certain price for the secret of your rapid cultivation.”
“Sigh…”
Chen Qiu exhaled, preparing to fight for his life. He still had three entries he could self-destruct; action had to be quick, taking them down wasn’t a big problem, but Yuan City would have to go down with him.
But before he could act.
An even more powerful wave of Divinity Transformation Cultivation came surging, pressing down on the previous overwhelming power.
“Everyone.”
The Su Family Patriarch appeared expressionless from the horizon, arriving in front of the several people in the blink of an eye: “Distinguished guests from the Central Region, you came to Quzhou without even saying hello to me?”
“This Sect Master Chen happens to be my benefactor,”
“Do you have designs on him?”
“…”
Xia Ruyu’s expression turned somewhat ugly as she looked at the Su Family Patriarch. They were both at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation, but clearly, the Su Family Patriarch had the upper hand, his gaze intently fixed on the Patriarch.
“Mr. Su, are you sure you want to interfere with the ‘Three Springs Building’s’ affairs?”
“Su Family only has one at Divinity Transformation, but Three Springs Building isn’t limited to just one Divinity Transformation behind me,”
“You should also be clear about the consequences of offending Three Springs Building,”
“What do you mean by ‘offend’?”
The Su Family Patriarch casually swept his gaze over the group: “I merely wish to have a chat with Sect Master Chen. If you wish to speak with Sect Master Chen, please come back another day.”
