Lord Luo City, a powerful being in the Immortal God Realm, emanated an aura of strength.
Given Qin Han Chu’s own background, he didn’t really need to show much deference to Lord Luo City.
However, Qin Han Chu did not wish to stir up any unnecessary trouble, so he and A Xiang stood up symbolically.
“Thank you both for saving my daughter,” Lord Luo City said with a smile as he entered the reception hall.
Qin Han Chu replied, “It was nothing. Besides, we didn’t act for free.”
“I’ve already instructed someone to prepare a gift of gratitude. Let’s sit down and chat first.”
With that, Lord Luo City took the main seat.
“Please be seated, esteemed seniors,” Luo Yun Xia said politely.
After Qin Han Chu and A Xiang were seated again, Lord Luo City inquired, “Which city do you two usually reside in?”
“We don’t have a fixed residence; we travel around,” Qin Han Chu answered.
“Are you interested in settling down in my Luohai City?”
“If you are willing, I can provide the best cultivation environment.”
Qin Han Chu still declined Lord Luo City’s invitation, “Thank you for your kind offer, Lord Luo City. My wife and I are accustomed to a life of freedom.”
“That is truly a pity,” Lord Luo City said with slight regret. He then continued, “Where are you two headed? And why did you get into a conflict with the bandits?”
“Does Lord Luo City suspect we have ulterior motives?”
It was unlikely that Luo Yun Xia had not explained the situation.
Since she had already recounted the events, Lord Luo City should have understood why Qin Han Chu had intervened.
His repeated inquiry now clearly indicated suspicion towards Qin Han Chu’s explanation.
Lord Luo City smiled without speaking, tacitly acknowledging Qin Han Chu’s conjecture.
“Lord Luo City’s imagination is truly boundless.”
“Do my wife and I have to prove our innocence?”
Qin Han Chu’s tone carried a hint of displeasure. This Lord Luo City was far too suspicious by nature.
“I ask that you both stay in the city for a few more days while I investigate the truth of the matter.”
Upon hearing Lord Luo City’s words, Luo Yun Xia quickly interjected, “Father, isn’t this inappropriate? These two are my benefactors. If you do this…”
“You are free to move about the city. Give me one month to investigate this matter.”
“If I have wrongly accused you, I will certainly compensate you.”
Lord Luo City, being an Immortal God realm expert, was accustomed to acting assertively.
He suspected Qin Han Chu and his wife, so he intended to detain them temporarily.
In his view, Qin Han Chu and his wife had no other choice.
Would two Immortal Saints dare to defy his arrangements?
“Let’s talk about the compensation first!”
“If it’s satisfactory, we can rest here for a month.”
“If the compensation isn’t adequate, we don’t want to waste our time here.”
Qin Han Chu was no ordinary Immortal Saint; he wouldn’t be easily detained by Lord Luo City.
Lord Luo City was taken aback by Qin Han Chu’s statement.
He was an Immortal God, and two Immortal Saints were negotiating with him!
“Do you have any other options?”
Lord Luo City’s tone grew cold.
Although Qin Han Chu had saved his daughter, it didn’t mean Qin Han Chu could act presumptuously in front of him.
“Lord Luo City, put away your arrogance.”
“Other Immortal Saints may fear your strength, but I do not.”
“If we wish to leave, even you, an Immortal God, cannot stop us.”
Qin Han Chu picked up his teacup and said coldly.
Lord Luo City and Luo Yun Xia stared at Qin Han Chu in shock.
They had never encountered such an arrogant Immortal Saint; Qin Han Chu dared to provoke an Immortal God.
“Father, you are overthinking this.”
“These two seniors saved me. Would it not be ungrateful of us to act like this?”
“Give them their reward and let them leave.”
Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Luo Yun Xia quickly intervened.
Lord Luo City stared coldly at Qin Han Chu.
As an Immortal God, when had he ever been provoked like this by an Immortal Saint?
Under his telepathic command, the butler of the City Lord’s mansion entered.
“One True Immortal Treasure, two Life and Death Immortal Treasures, and two Samsara Immortal Treasures!”
“These five Immortal Treasures will serve as payment for bringing my daughter back.”
With that, Lord Luo City presented the five Immortal Treasures to Qin Han Chu.
Qin Han Chu accepted them without hesitation.
After Qin Han Chu had taken the treasures, Lord Luo City said, “Provoking an Immortal God, do you know the consequences?”
Qin Han Chu chuckled, “What? You want to defend the dignity of your Immortal God realm?”
“I am very curious what makes an Immortal Saint so audacious!”
“If you lack the strength to contend with an Immortal God, I advise you to yield!”
Lord Luo City’s gaze was icy as he looked at Qin Han Chu.
“You go back first. I will have a good chat with Lord Luo City.”
Qin Han Chu could tell that Lord Luo City was determined to assert his authority in front of him.
If things continued on this trajectory, Qin Han Chu and Lord Luo City would likely fight.
Although A Xiang was an Immortal Saint, she was still somewhat vulnerable against an Immortal God.
That was why Qin Han Chu had sent her back to the Divine Continent World.
If Lord Luo City was truly determined to make a move, Qin Han Chu would welcome it.
With the assistance of three Beast Gods and the Giant Puppet, did Lord Luo City truly have the right to be so arrogant?
“Alright, I’ll head back first.”
A Xiang was well aware of Qin Han Chu’s underlying power and thus was not worried about his safety.
As long as Qin Han Chu was cautious, there would be no danger.
Seeing Qin Han Chu teleport A Xiang away, Lord Luo City’s eyes were filled with astonishment. “Are you preparing to fight me?”
“If we don’t fight, will you let me go?”
“However, I must remind you that once we clash, you will have to pay a price.”
“Either you leave your life behind, or you surrender to me!”
This Luohai City was quite appealing. If he could acquire it, Qin Han Chu would gain another revenue-generating machine.
With more law crystals, his strength would naturally grow faster.
“Are you crazy? My father is an Immortal God expert, and you want to fight him?”
Luo Yun Xia stared at Qin Han Chu in shock.
Even with Immortal Saint-level immortal beasts assisting him, Qin Han Chu was no match for her father.
Lord Luo City was also quite surprised. Qin Han Chu didn’t seem to be joking!
He was actually going to fight him.
Most importantly, Qin Han Chu was threatening him!
And he wanted him to surrender!
Was this something an Immortal Saint would say?
“Are you perhaps an Immortal God?”
Lord Luo City looked at Qin Han Chu suspiciously.
Could it be that Qin Han Chu had concealed his strength and was actually an Immortal God realm expert?
“I am not an Immortal God, but I possess means comparable to an Immortal God.”
“You do not have the qualifications to flaunt your Immortal God prestige in front of me.”
Qin Han Chu’s words carried a hint of provocation.
He was deliberately trying to lure Lord Luo City into a fight.
Once they clashed, Qin Han Chu could force him to surrender.
Even if Lord Luo City didn’t surrender, Qin Han Chu could still gain significant benefits from the encounter.
“What a bold claim. I’d like to see what your methods are.”
Having held a high position for a long time, Lord Luo City was accustomed to flattery.
He hadn’t encountered someone as boastful as Qin Han Chu in thousands of years.
“This city is quite nice; try not to destroy it.”
“Let’s move further away before we fight.”
Qin Han Chu stood up and flew out of the reception hall.
