“Who is it?”
Hearing this, Su Chen’s expression changed drastically. He turned around and looked.
Only to see not far away from him, an old man with white hair and beard standing with his hands behind his back.
His pitch-black eyes held a hint of a smile, seeming emotional as he said, “The Great Mystery Holy Son truly lives up to his reputation. In less than a year after overcoming the Nirvana Tribulation, you have already reached the pinnacle of the Nirvana Realm. If this news gets out, I’m afraid no one will believe it!” “Who are you?”
Su Chen frowned slightly as he stared at the old man and asked in a deep voice.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
The old man shook his head and took out a letter. He said, “I’m here on the orders of my young mistress to deliver a letter to you.”
“Your young mistress? A letter?”
Su Chen looked at the old man in surprise.
He took the envelope doubtfully and glanced at the cover.
There were two very elegant words on it: To benefactor.
“Eh… Interesting.”
Su Chen muttered softly.
The handwriting of these words was very elegant. It was obvious that they were written by a woman.
After thinking for a long time, he could not figure out which powerful woman he knew in Dashang who could make a Quasi-Saint Realm expert sneak into the imperial city just to deliver a personal letter.
Could it be Ye Ruxue?
She might really have the ability to do so.
After all, she was reborn. It was not impossible for her to control a force in the dark by relying on her foresight.
However, the key point was…
He could communicate with her using the jade slip, and there was no need for such a traditional letter delivery method.
The Ninth Princess of the Dachu Empire?
This was unlikely.
Su Chen quickly excluded her. His relationship with the Ninth Princess was not that profound, merely a bottle of Earth Spirit Milky Liquid.
“My young mistress said that after you read this letter, you will understand everything.”
The old man seemed to have seen through Su Chen’s confusion and explained.
Rip!
Hearing this, Su Chen tore open the envelope without hesitation.
As he read it, his expression gradually became strange.
After a long while, he let out a sigh, “Huff… I didn’t expect it to be her! 1 never thought that she would actually become the princess of the Dashang Empire… Haha…”
Su Chen smiled bitterly. Looking at the elegant handwriting on the paper, he muttered, “I didn’t expect this, I didn’t expect this! 1 didn’t expect that a lady whose name was Zimo would be the princess of Dashang!”
“My young mistress’s name is Shang Zimo. Zi is her mother’s surname…”
The old man explained after hearing Su Chen’s words.
Su Chen suddenly understood. He had never imagined the woman he casually helped in Tianyang City would be royalty of Dashang.
The most important thing was…
Who would have thought that the princess of Dashang was an ordinary person without any cultivation?
Even…
She was even wandering on the streets and was almost treated as a beggar.
“You have read the contents of the letter. If you want to leave, 1 can help you.”
The old man said slowly, “However, after seeing your strength, I feel that young mistress may be worrying too much. Your current strength is enough to kill all the prodigies of Dashang’s young generation!”
“Leave… Convey my thanks for Princess Zimo’s kind intentions, but 1 will not leave Dashang. Even if 1 leave the imperial city, I won’t leave Dashang in the short term.”
Su Chen shook his head.
As soon as he finished speaking, his fingers clenched, crushing the letter into dust.
The content of the letter was very concise.
Shang Zimo first expressed grat.i.tude for Su Chen’s kindness in Tianyang City. Then she warned him of conspiracies behind the matter of the high-grade Dao weapon, urging him to leave Dashang soon and not lose his life over it.
“As expected of the Great Mystery Holy Son.”
The old man smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Su Chen’s rejection. He continued, “Tomorrow if you accept the Marquis t.i.tle conferred by the Dashang Empire, nothing will happen to you. However, if you reject the t.i.tle and only want that high-grade Dao weapon, you will face the pursuit of all the young generation of Dashang!”
“Only the young generation?”
Hearing this, Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled calmly in his heart.
Before he came to Dashang, he had already prepared for the worst and thought that a Saint Realm expert would act.
However, he did not expect that there were only the prodigies of the young generation.
If he had known earlier, he would have come to Dashang a long time ago. Why would he waste half a year?
The prodigies of the young generation were at most at the Nirvana Realm.
Nirvana Realm experts…
No matter how many came, Su Chen would not be afraid.
“It seems Dashang intends to use me as a whetstone!” Su Chen said jokingly.
“Indeed. But we can’t rule out the possibility that even stronger experts will make a move.”
The old man gently nodded.
However, he shook his head and added, “Fahui’s death is still a secret to most people in Dashang. However, to some others, this matter is no secret. They already knew that Fahui was the incarnation of Marquis Champion. The reason why they threw out this high-grade Dao weapon was to lure you here. After all…”
At this point, the old man paused for a moment and sized up Su Chen before continuing, “You are the only prodigy in history who has pa.s.sed ten Nirvana Tribulations! If you agree to join Dashang, that high-grade Dao weapon will naturally be yours. No one can s.n.a.t.c.h it away! However, if you reject it, then this high-grade Dao weapon will belong to whoever is capable. Whether or not you can bring it out of the territory of Dashang is still unknown! I really can’t understand, with your temperament you shouldn’t disregard your life for a Dao weapon…”
“No! To me, I would have come to Dashang sooner or later. The purpose no longer matters.”
Su Chen shook his head and said casually.
He was determined to obtain the Nine Transformations Golden Body Art!
To get it, he would have to enter Dashang eventually. Since he was already here, why not take a high-grade Dao weapon along the way? It was just a bonus.
If others got those two treasures, their strength might increase by a level or two.
But if Su Chen obtained them, his overall power would multiply by several times!
The value to him was thus vastly different.
“Do you know why the Dashang Empire… Alas, forget it, forget it,” the old man said slowly.
But before he could finish, he suddenly shook his head and changed the topic.
“Young Friend, can you give me a communication jade slip?”
