Chapter 460 Shocking proposal
"What can I do or not is none of your business. I only want you to tell me the lose you have suffered in yesterday's battle", Zhan Chen glared towards the Lu clan tribulation realm cultivator who was showing his frustration to him.
He was always polite infront of the senior experts but this time, he revealed his unruly side to the Lu clan cultivators. The Lu clan elder felt mad at first but an instinctive fear taken over his temper when his gaze fell onZhan Chen's eyes.
Zhan Chen's aura was completely tyrannical at this moment. The Lu clan elder felt like a sword was stabbing his soul when he looked into Zhan Chen's eyes. Few other experts were dissatisfied with Zhan Chen's impolite words but they held back themselves after feeling the aura leaking from Zhan Chen's body.
"Little friend, calm down. There is no harm in telling you the details about the lose we have suffered", the emperor realm expert spoke. Zhan Chen gave a glare to the Lu clan elder before withdrawing his aura.
"Gulp", the Lu clan elder gulped nervously as few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. 'Freak', he could only curse inside his mind as he avoided looking towards Zhan Chen's direction.
"We have lost eighty Core condensation realm cultivators this time. As for the Martial ascension realm cultivators, we have lost fifteen. We have lost two tribulation realm elders as well. Overall, yesterday's battle was a great blow for our clan", the emperor realm expert spoke. His voice appeared calm but there was hidden sadness in his words.
"Has the Sky dragon alliance promised any compensation to your clan?", Zhan Chen asked.
"They will let our clan withdraw for a week. Moreover, they were awarding military points to those who have perished. But these are of little importance to us. Overally, we have lost so much in return of little to no gain", the emperor realm expert explained.
"Senior, I have a proposal for your clan. If you agree, you can still gain military points without any major lose to your cultivators", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Zhan Chen, what is it? Please speak your mind", Lu Tai Cang requested from the side. The emperor took a look at every elders and saw there was a curious expression on everyone's faces as they looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Little brother, be frank. There is no need to have any reservation infront of us", the emperor realm expert added. There was an encouraging expression on his face as he looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Senior, have you heard about our Xuantian sect's ordeal in the White mist forest range?", Zhan Chen asked.
"No, I have not heard anything about it. I was in seclusion untill yesterday. So, I am unaware about the details of our battle with the devils", the emperor realm expert replied.
"Senior, let me explain. The Xuantian sect has lost many of their inner court disciples inside the White mist forest range", Lu Tai Cang spoke.
"Tell me the details", the emperor nodded his head towards Lu Tai Cang.
"As you know, the Xuantian sect takes the initiative to clash with the devils. Unfortunately, they couldn't fight with the devils for long as the devils were vastly outnumbering them. With the help of the imperial army, they evacuated all of their disciples safely.
After withdrawing from the Yellow stone city, the disciples have to travel through the White mist forest range. But the devils were far too cunning to let them off easily. They are lying in ambush when the Xuantian sect disciples entered the White mist forest range.
Almost every group of disciples suffered loses. Many group of disciples perished entirely but one group managed to escape without any major mishap. I have heard that it was Zhan Chen who fought off the devils on his own without involving his group members", Lu Tai Cang spoke.
"That is really a praiseworthy acheivement. Tell me, what is your proposal for our Lu clan", the emperor looked towards Zhan Chen after hearing to Lu Tai Cang's words.
"Senior, I wantthe Lu clan cultivators to follow me. I am confident that with my meagre ability, I will be able to keep them safe. I can promise steady military acheivement for them without any major lose to the Lu clan's strength", Zhan Chen spoke.
Few elders looked towards eachother awkwardly after hearing Zhan Chen's words. No matter how capable Zhan Chen was, he was still only an eighteen year young man. If the Lu clan accepted his proposal, the Lu clan would be the laughingstock of the entire Central land. People would mock the Lu clansmen about how foolish their decision was.
The elders started to discuss among themselves through mental communication without alerting Zhan Chen. They were thinking about a way to turn down Zhan Chen's proposal when they heard the emperor realm expert's voice.
"Alright, I will consider your proposal. But I need to know what your actual strength is at this moment", the emperor realm expert spoke after pondering for a moment. An incredulous expression appeared on every elders' faces after they heard the emperor realm expert's words.
"Senior, you can't be serious!", an elder couldn't hold back himself anymore. But the emperor ignored him completely and looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Senior, you want to know my true strength. Am I right?", Zhan Chen asked the emperor realm expert. The emperor nodded his head with a serious expression on his face.
"In short, I only have to prove my strength infront of everyone", Zhan Chen muttered. "Senior, you seem discontent about my proposal. So, why don't we have a little duel between us?", Zhan Chen looked towards the elder who questioned the emperor realm expert after hearing his proposal.
The tribulation realm expert felt stupified for a moment after hearing Zhan Chen's words. Other elders along with the emperor were stunned after hearing the words of Zhan Chen. For everyone, it was preposterous for an eighteen year young man to challenge a tribulation realm old expert.
"Brat, are you serious?", the tribulation realm elder glared towards Zhan Chen. He felt it was an insult for him to be challenged by Zhan Chen.
"I am extremely serious. I will withdraw my proposal if you can defeat me. But if you can't, then you have to promise me that you will listen to my orders", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Insolence. Let me teach you few lessons about how to respect your elders", the tribulation realm elder spoke. He was slightly angry at this moment after hearing to Zhan Chen's provocation. Compared to his angry expression, Zhan Chen was completely calm. He only looked towards the tribulation realm elder with a calm expression on his face.
"Senior, you can't blame me. Let me educate him in place of his Zhan clan elders", the tribulation realm elder looked towards the emperor for permission.
"Little friend, you are indeed impolite. Do you really want elder Cheng to fight you?", the emperor realm expert looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Senior, I am very eager. After this battle, I will have a capable helper", Zhan Chen replied.
"Brat, you are courting death", the tribulation realm elder couldn't hold his anger anymore. He pushed his hand and an energy palm came crashing towards Zhan Chen's seat.
"It is getting out of hand", Lu Tai Cang muttered in worry. Zhan clan aside, even the Xuantian sect emperors would be looking for them if anything happened to Zhan Chen.
