Moreover, when the other party approached with polite greetings, the group naturally wouldn’t be rude.

Wei Wuque didn’t focus solely on Chen Yuan, and also gave a bow to everyone present, saying with a smile,

“I’ve long heard of everyone’s renowned names. To see you today is a fortunate encounter indeed.”

“The Princely Heir is flattering us,” Shangguan Yu replied with a smile.

A faint smile hung on Wei Wuque’s face as his gaze settled on Chen Yuan,

“Even living in the desolate North Cold Land, I have long admired Brother Chen’s reputation, which strikes me like thunder. I hold you in the highest regard for your extraordinary rise from humble beginnings to soar into prominence, clinching the top spot on the Hidden Dragon List within just a few short years. Your unprecedented feat is truly admirable. Frankly, my visit here is significantly motivated by the desire to meet Brother Chen.”

“Oh?”

“I haven’t made many friends over the years. I simply wish to form an acquaintance with Brother Chen, nothing more.”

“Brother Wei jests. How could your highness regard my mere first place on the Hidden Dragon List?”

“Brother Chen is the one jesting. You have achieved the unprecedented with your Reach Profound ability, slaying two Grandmasters, and this Immortal Battle is hailed as the most arduous in nearly a hundred years. How could I not admire you?”

“As for status, everybody knows their own business. With Beiliang confined to a corner, facing the great enemy of the Northern Barbarians, I must honestly say, our position is truly inferior to several brothers’ ease and comfort in the Central Plains,” Wei Wuque said gravely.

Chen Yuan just smiled and did not say much.

Afterward, Wei Wuque found some other topics to discuss, and they seemed to enjoy the conversation, treating each other as equals without any signs of Wei leveraging his position as the Princely Heir of Beiliang.

After all, although the backgrounds of the few present didn’t match Wei Wuque’s, they were still quite formidable in their own right.

As the conversation went on, Wei Wuque discreetly moved in front of Chen Yuan, glancing downward as he offhandedly remarked,

“Such a view is only fitting for the first city under heaven.”

“If Brother Wei has something to say, please feel free to speak directly,” Chen Yuan responded.

People don’t pay visits without a reason. While the other party claimed to want to form an acquaintance, Chen Yuan was convinced there must be other motivations. Otherwise, why hadn’t Wei Wuque sought to befriend the other prodigies on the Hidden Dragon List?

So he decided to get straight to the point.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Wuque’s eyes, but he quickly recovered and couldn’t help saying,

“Brother Chen truly has a way with words.”

“I just prefer not to beat around the bush.”

“Well, if Brother Chen insists, I will state my purpose. To be honest, I’ve come here to propose a trade with Brother Chen.”

“Let’s hear it.”

“My father sent me here primarily for the Ascending Immortal Fruits. These are of great importance to him. If Brother Chen manages to win first place in the Divine Battle,

I hope to trade for it. Rest assured, Brother Chen, I am fully aware of its value and will not allow you to suffer any loss. Though Beiliang Royal Mansion cannot compare to the treasures of the Imperial Palace,

we do have some rare and extraordinary items. Among them are objects even more efficacious than the Ascending Immortal Fruit for enhancing the Divine Soul, as well as Spiritual Objects that can aid Core Formation,

Choose any—no, three items you like. And if in the end you are still unsatisfied, I will certainly not insist,” Wei Wuque assured earnestly, without any pretense or pressure from his standing as the Beiliang Royal Mansion’s heir, clearly cognizant of Chen Yuan’s temperament.

“With the power of the Beiliang Royal Mansion, surely trading for an Ascending Immortal Fruit from Martial Emperor City wouldn’t be so difficult, right?” Chen Yuan challenged in return.

The Taoist Divine Palace placed their hopes on him because they needed to keep their identity a secret and couldn’t come forward in person. Moreover, the price demanded by Martial Emperor City would likely be too steep.

A loss-making deal, better to take advantage of Chen Yuan.

“It’s true that Martial Emperor City has other Ascending Immortal Fruits; they don’t only yield a single fruit every ten years, but the cost is too great, resulting in a loss that isn’t worth it,” was Wei Wuque’s reply.

“If I didn’t have a use for it, then giving it to Brother Wei wouldn’t be a big deal. However, the Cultivation Technique I practice urgently requires it, which I’m afraid disappoints Brother Wei.”

Wei Wuque smiled and said,

“In that case, I would not dream of depriving someone of what they love. Let’s leave it at that, but I do hope Brother Chen secures it for himself.”

“I appreciate your kind words, Brother Wei.”

After a bit more conversation, suddenly, a powerful aura came from afar. Two figures flew through the sky, heading straight for the Ascending Immortal Tower.

Standing at the top of the tower, everyone present could feel an overwhelming oppressive force.

But just as quickly, another formidable aura blocked the first, followed by a deep male voice,

“May I ask which True Master has come?”

The man who released the aura laughed heartily, his dark, mysterious Demonic Qi slowly dissipated to reveal his true form; a figure in a black robe with simple patterns stitched on the chest.

Long, loose hair and piercing eyes, his thick eyebrows coupled with a square face, carried an overwhelmingly domineering aura,

“Heavenly Demon Hall’s Song Zhilun, greets the Tower Master!”

“It turns out to be the famous Demon Lord Song Zhilun. My apologies for not greeting you from afar. Please, come into the tower for a chat,” invited the voice from within the Ascending Immortal Tower, acknowledging the visitor’s identity.

Chen Yuan’s gaze shifted, fixating on the two figures standing in the sky.

The Demon Lord Song Zhilun, leader of the four Demon Lords of the Heavenly Demon Hall!

He was a famous powerhouse in Jianghu, and naturally, Chen Yuan had heard of him.

And the other figure beside him, if he wasn’t mistaken, must be the contemporary Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Hall, the third-ranked on the Hidden Dragon List, Wei Wuya!

As Chen Yuan’s gaze fell on Wei Wuya and Song Zhilun, Wei Wuya also looked back at Chen Yuan, and their eyes locked for a moment with a sharp focus.

Wei Wuya was garbed in a mysterious dark battle armor, with his long hair tied back, his appearance not losing to Wei Wuque in handsomeness, but he exuded a more overpowering and domineering presence!
