Guo Kai was speechless.
The Dragon Clan was the strongest race in the Immortal Realm.
Especially Ao Lie, the current patriarch of the Dragon Clan.
His strength was terrifying.
Even the Human Emperor had once lamented that even if he met Ao Lie, he would only be able to fight to a draw.
It would be a difficult task to defeat him.
And...
Seven Human Supremes of the Human Race had joined forces ten thousand years ago to deal with the Human Emperor, but they did not gain any advantage.
If Emperor Qian truly fought Ao Lie, he would definitely have a bad ending.
Emperor Qian's voice rang out again: "This Emperor naturally fears no Dragon Clan."
"But this Emperor and the Dragon Clan leader Ao Lie are old friends. His face..."
"This Emperor cannot refuse to give."
Guo Kai quickly said, "Your Majesty is loyal and righteous, and naturally cannot fall out with the Dragon Clan. If not for this, what would a mere Dragon Clan be?"
Emperor Qian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Send someone to investigate Chen Nan's relationship with the Dragon Clan."
"Yes!"
------
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the evening of the fifth day.
The divine sword was also completely repaired as new.
The cracks disappeared.
It exuded the power of a divine artifact and a piercing sword intent.
Fortunately, Chen Nan's strength was great.
An ordinary person would be unable to withstand the sword intent on the divine sword.
Seeing that the divine artifact was successfully repaired.
Chen Nan took out the communication jade token left by Qian Sheng and sent him a message: "Ninth Prince, the divine sword has been repaired, please come and retrieve it."
About half an hour later.
Someone knocked on Chen Nan's door.
He opened the door.
A middle-aged man, who looked to be in his fifties, appeared before him.
Behind him were four middle-aged men.
They were stern and aloof, giving off an air of being unapproachable.
Of course.
Their strength was also not weak.
They all had the cultivation of a ninth-level True Immortal.
Especially the one leading them, who was a fifth-level Immortal Emperor.
His name was Zhang Kong, and with a fawning smile, he said, "Greetings, Master Chen. My Prince has something to attend to and cannot come personally, so he has sent me to retrieve the sword."
Chen Nan frowned.
What was Qian Sheng doing that was so important?
What could be more important than retrieving a sword?
He looked at the five people.
A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
Were they really Qian Sheng's people?
If not.
If he handed the divine sword to them, how would he explain it to Qian Sheng?
Zhang Kong seemed to sense Chen Nan's thoughts and said, "If Master Chen does not trust us, we can take you to the Prince's mansion, and you can personally give the sword to him."
"Then lead the way."
Entrusted by others, one must be loyal.
At this point, Chen Nan did not mind going personally to return the sword to its rightful owner.
After all.
Qian Sheng's decision determined whether he could obtain the divine elixir recipe.
Whether he could open the seventh level of the Immortal Mansion.
And obtain the opportunity to become a saint.
"Master Chen, please." Zhang Kong made an inviting gesture.
Chen Nan followed them outside the restaurant and then got into a carriage.
The carriage traveled under the night sky for about half an hour before arriving at a large mansion.
Zhang Kong led Chen Nan inside.
But what Chen Nan did not expect was.
There were many hidden experts in the mansion.
And among the many experts, he did not detect Qian Sheng's aura.
"Master Chen has traveled far, it is the fortune of our Qian Kingdom."
"It is truly a blessing of three lifetimes to witness Master Chen's presence today."
Following a hearty laugh.
A young man, dashing and tall, dressed in a black python robe, led two elders out.
Chen Nan's brows furrowed: "Who are you?"
The young man smiled: "My name is Qian Feng."
"So it's the Third Prince!" Chen Nan chuckled: "I've heard so much about you."
Chen Nan had done some research on the names of Emperor Qian's sons.
However.
He did not expect to meet Emperor Qian's third son here.
After all.
He had killed Mu Wanting.
And that woman was the goddess in Qian Feng's heart.
Qian Feng said, "The Ninth Prince is currently occupied, so he specifically sent me to retrieve that divine sword."
"Master Chen does not trust those subordinates, but you should trust this Prince, right?"
Chen Nan chuckled: "I'm sorry, I will only hand over the divine sword to the Ninth Prince."
"Let alone you, the Third Prince, even if Emperor Qian himself came, I would not hand it over to him."
He seemed to have figured out the truth.
Qian Feng must have known that Qian Sheng had found him to help him repair the divine sword.
And then sent people to steal the communication jade token.
As long as he repaired the divine sword and sent a message to him, he would fall into a trap.
Although they were brothers.
But now, Emperor Qian's birthday was approaching.
And Emperor Qian's sons were in a struggle for the throne.
At this time, brotherly affection was the cheapest thing.
The smile on Qian Feng's face slowly faded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Master Chen, are you not trusting this Prince?"
Chen Nan said dismissively: "Trust is built on mutual respect."
"But the Third Prince sent people disguised as the Ninth Prince's men to retrieve the sword from me."
"And then used the excuse of taking me to see the Ninth Prince to lure me to your mansion."
"You played me like a fool, and now you talk to me about trust?"
"Presumptuous!" An old man behind Qian Feng shouted angrily, "What are you, to dare to speak to the Third Prince in such a tone?"
"Do you think this is the Yan Kingdom, and everyone here respects you?"
He was a sixth-level Immortal Emperor.
His strength was immense.
Another sixth-level Immortal Emperor also said, "Chen Nan, you are an unprecedented prodigy in the Immortal Realm, and your achievements in formations, alchemy, and artifact refining are unparalleled."
"But..."
"One must be humble."
"Especially when facing someone you cannot afford to offend, you must keep a low profile."
"Otherwise, you won't even know how you died." As he said this, his eyes flickered with amusement.
It was obvious.
This was a blatant threat.
"Oh?" Chen Nan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Who are you talking about? Could it be you?"
"Just a dog, what are you?"
The middle-aged man was furious.
Just as he was about to lash out, Qian Feng interrupted him and then looked at Chen Nan: "Master Chen, I respect you as a genius, and I am willing to befriend a prodigy like you."
"But this Prince has two conditions."
"First."
"You need to give me that divine artifact."
"Don't worry, I will explain it to the Ninth Prince for you."
"Second."
"You need to swear an oath to me and assist me."
"This way, you will become the foremost honored guest in this Prince's mansion."
"Below one person, above ten thousand."
"Of course."
"If this Prince inherits the throne."
"I will definitely appoint you as the National Teacher of the Qian Kingdom, allowing you to bring glory to your ancestors and make your name known throughout the world."
"Otherwise, you will likely not see the sun tomorrow."
As soon as he said this.
Many experts in the True Immortal realm emerged from hiding.
They surrounded Chen Nan like hungry wolves.
Chen Nan was isolated and helpless.
However.
His expression did not change in the slightest.
He looked at Qian Feng calmly and said, "I have a question for the Third Prince."
"Who gave you the superiority complex that made you think I would care about befriending someone like you?"
