Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

When Xiao Chen heard that offer, he started laughing loudly. He had seen shameless people before. However, he had never seen anyone this shameless before.

After laughing until his belly hurt, Xiao Chen seemed to agree with this explanation. “Not bad, that does make sense. However, can this profit be paid with the special product of Heavenly Star Island? I guarantee that it is unique and cannot be found anywhere else.”

Wang Feng and Elder Xing exchanged glances. They felt that it was acceptable as long as they returned with something to show for their efforts. Furthermore, some of the special products of Heavenly Star Island were rather valuable in the Kunlun Continent.

“That is possible. What special product does the Azure Dragon King intend to use? Is it Secret Treasures, wine, or divine material ores?” Wang Feng asked.

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “None of them. This thing is available in much larger quantities than those items. We can provide as much as the Three Holy Lands want.”

“What is it?” Xiao Chen’s words piqued the interest of Wang Feng and Elder Xing.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Then, he waved his hand and condensed two gaseous clumps before tossing them to Wang Feng and Elder Xing.

“What is this? Is this air?” Wang Feng and Elder Xing asked suspiciously.

Xiao Chen replied, “That’s right. You answered correctly. It is precisely the unique air of Heavenly Star Island. You can have however much you want.”

Wang Feng and Elder Xing immediately realized that he was toying with them. They immediately stood up in a rage and said, “Xiao Chen, what do you mean by this? We gave you face, but you are not accepting it.”

Xiao Chen retorted calmly, “I do not mean anything by this. This is because the three words ‘Martial God Palace’ that you mentioned is like air here. Exchanging air for air, neither of us loses out!”

“This is too much!” After being toyed around miserably this way, Elder Xing could no longer endure, erupting in anger.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Just at this moment, footsteps rang out. A guard came in from outside and performed a cupped-fist salute. He said, “Island Master, there is an urgent report from the city gate. The Young Palace Masters of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace and the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace arrived at the same time and sought an audience.”

Unexpectedly, the Young Palace Masters of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace and the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace were here together. They really picked the right time of all the times to come. The arrival of the Martial God Palace envoys was already very problematic. Now, there were two more.

“Haha! Since the Azure Dragon King has some honored guests visiting, let’s set aside our matter first.” When Wang Feng and Elder Xing heard that, they immediately knew that trouble came for Xiao Chen.

Wang Feng and Elder Xing immediately revealed smiles and sat down, prepared to watch how Xiao Chen was going to deal with these two Young Palace Masters. If Xiao Chen could not cope, they would take advantage of this to say some sarcastic words and get him to be more sensible.

“Are the two of you not going to have a rest first?” Mo Chen, who was beside Xiao Chen, asked.

The one-armed Wang Feng smiled and said, “It does not matter. We have long known about Heavenly Star Island’s disharmonious relationship with the Divine Dragon Palaces of the four seas. This is especially so in recent times. Your relationship with the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace is now like water and fire. Since we are here, we naturally have to chip in to help resolve this.”

Elder Xing snorted coldly. “He is the Azure Dragon King. Do you think he needs you to help resolve the situation? Did you not hear what he said, that we are air here?”

Wang Feng clapped his head and said, “I forgot about that. In that case, let’s watch how the Azure Dragon King will teach the two Young Palace Masters of the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace and the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace a lesson, raising the prestige of our Martial God Palace.”

The two echoed each other, clearly demonstrating their intention to remain idle and watch a good show, waiting for Xiao Chen to mess up.

Xiao Chen could not be bothered with them. He would just deal with the matters as they came, using appropriate solutions. He did not mind having the two Young Palace Masters of the two Divine Dragon Palaces arriving simultaneously.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and instructed the guard, “Invite them in.”

The guard hesitated for a moment before saying, “Should I invite their escorts in as well?”

Xiao Chen quickly realized the reason behind the guard’s hesitation: the escorts of these two were probably very impressive.

“It’s fine. Invite them in as well,” Xiao Chen said decisively after thinking for a moment. Since these two want to watch me make a joke of myself, let’s see who will be the joke in the end.

“Yes, sir!”

The guard left to carry out the orders given to him. Now, Wang Feng and Elder Xing already appeared much more leisurely. They were at ease, drinking tea and chatting. Occasionally, they glanced at Xiao Chen.

These two wanted to see some apprehension on Xiao Chen’s face. However, they could not see anything at all.

I do not believe that he can continue to persist like that. Based on the tone of that guard, the two Young Palace Masters probably brought a Martial Emperor expert each as their escort.

There is a mysterious Martial Emperor on Heavenly Star Island personally protecting the place. Ordinary Martial Emperors will not be able to do anything to him.

It’s fine. At that time, we can try inciting him. Given his temper, he will definitely not let that person who is behind the scenes make a move. Furthermore, if he gets that person to make a move, it would mean that he is weaker than the two Divine Dragon Palaces. After all, the Dragon Kings have not come yet.

As long as he dares to make a move, I will then personally teach him a lesson. I am a bona fide Martial Emperor. Since when has a junior ever toyed with me?

The two exchanged voice projections, discussing measures. They definitely had to make full use of the opportunity that presented itself this time.

Soon, Leng Shaofan and a youth wearing red dragon-patterned robes walked into the main hall. An old man followed behind each of the two.

Indeed, the two old men were First Heaven Martial Emperors. As they walked, they displayed a majestic gait and auras like that of mountains. Their gazes were as sharp as knives, deterring others from looking at them directly.

When these four came in, they immediately discovered Wang Feng and Elder Xing, who sat at the side. So, they revealed somewhat suspicious expressions.

Before Xiao Chen said anything, Wang Feng rushed to say with a smile, “The two of you must be the Young Palace Masters of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace and the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace. We are the elders of the Martial God Palace’s Law Enforcement Hall and Investigation Institution. We are merely here to have some tea; you can ignore us. We are just air in the eyes of the Azure Dragon King.”

The moment Wang Feng said that, smiles gleamed in the eyes of Leng Shaofan and the other youth. They had long heard that the Azure Dragon King and the Three Holy Masters that managed the Martial God Palace did not get along. It looked like the rumor was true.

After making some casual greetings, Leng Shaofan looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Brother Xiao, my flood dragon war chariot is pretty nice to use, right?”

Xiao Chen smiled calmly and replied, “Many thanks to Brother Leng for giving it to me. There are not many people like Brother Leng who can bear to part with something so cherished. It’s tolerable and still can be used.”

Leng Shaofan’s face sank as he ranted, “Don’t bother playing such tricks with me. If you do not return my war chariot to me, don’t blame me for not giving you face. After you snatched away the war chariot of my Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace, even the Thunder Sovereign cannot shield you.”

The red-clad youth at the side said, “Today, you have to give us an account for slapping my Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace elder into an idiot. There are some things that you should not go overboard with.”

What a fellow!

Both Wang Feng and Elder Xing sucked in a deep breath of cold air. They could not tell that Xiao Chen was this bold. Not only did he snatch away the cherished war chariot of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s Young Palace Master, but he even slapped a Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace elder into an idiot.

Leng Shaofan and the other youth were not polite to Xiao Chen at all. This time, they brought Martial Emperors with them, intending to forcibly suppress him and make him obey. Either that or force that hidden person to make a move. That way, the Dragon Kings of the Eastern Sea Divine Dragon Palace and the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace had an excuse to make a move.

Wang Feng looked around and took advantage of the situation to say, “Azure Dragon King, don’t go overboard when doing things. Since you snatched the war chariot, then you should return it. After injuring someone, you should apologize and pay compensation. Otherwise, if you damage the reputation of my Martial God Palace, you will not be able to afford the consequences.”

Leng Shaofan’s group felt somewhat surprised. Unexpectedly, the Martial God Palace’s people even spoke up for them. This made them feel even more confident.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly. “Since when do I need you to tell me what to do? What are you?”

“I am an elder of the Martial God Palace’s Investigation Institution. I have the authority to uphold the reputation of the Martial God Palace. What you are doing is spoiling the reputation of my Martial God Palace, so I have to interfere.”

Xiao Chen laughed, “Do you think you have the right to speak for me here? Bending over your back like that in humility, admitting mistakes when there were no mistakes made, you are the one spoiling the reputation of my Martial God Palace. To think you can become an Investigation Institution elder! I think you have become muddled and need to be shaken awake.”

“Pa!”

Xiao Chen’s figure flickered, moving at extreme speeds. Before Wang Feng could react, a five-fingered handprint appeared on his face.

“You dare to slap me?” Wang Feng roared as he rubbed his face.

Xiao Chen said coldly, “I was checking to see if the skin on your face is made of flesh. To think you are shameless to this degree! To think that you actually spoke up for an outsider on my Heavenly Star Island!

“I already find the people of the Three Holy Lands an eyesore. You delivered yourselves here and dared to dictate my actions. Do you think that I am easy to bully? This time, it is a slap. Behave yourself. If you keep interjecting, I’ll kill you!”

Xiao Chen’s intensity stunned Wang Feng, rendering him speechless for a long time as he rubbed his face. When Wang Feng looked at Leng Shaofan’s group, he noticed their gazes of disdain, causing him to burn a brighter red.

The Investigation Institution was different from the Law Enforcement Hall. It was not a powerless department but one that held a lot of authority within the Martial God Palace. It was normally treated with great prestige and did not require one to be especially strong.

Hence, Wang Feng, who was accustomed to flaunting his might in the Martial God Palace, had not expected Xiao Chen to ignore the rules and the Three Holy Masters entirely, to dare to humiliate him like this.

“Xiao Chen, don’t go overboard.” Elder Xing could no longer endure this treatment. This time, no matter what, he wanted to teach this fellow a lesson. Otherwise, Xiao Chen would continue his maverick behavior.

“Was I overboard?”

Xiao Chen laughed loudly. He stood up and said, “I know what you are thinking. I also know that you have already endured very long. Right now, I’ll give you this opportunity. If you can defeat me properly, I will return this Heavenly Star Island willingly. If you lose, scram immediately.”

Elder Xing felt like something was stuck in his throat when Xiao Chen managed to say what Elder Xing wanted to say before he did; it was nigh unbearable.

“As for you lot…”

Xiao Chen looked around and faced Leng Shaofan and the Western Sea Divine Dragon Palace’s Young Palace Master. “Since you already brought Martial Emperors over, why the need for all the nonsense? The matters of cultivators are resolved with duels between cultivators. If you want to resolve this properly and openly, I’ll do as you wish.

“As Martial Emperors, do you dare to fight with me, a Consummation quasi-Emperor? As long as one of you can defeat me, I’ll leave immediately!”

The silent Xiao Chen suddenly erupted, startling everyone. To their surprise, Xiao Chen took the initiative to challenge the three Martial Emperors without needing any provocation.

What Xiao Chen said was also what these people wanted. However, for some reason, since he was the one to say it, the three Martial Emperors felt it was strange.

Now, the Martial Emperors hesitated to take on the challenge, caught in the predicament of whether to agree or not. At the moment, they felt deeply worried.

Lan Shaobai and Mo Chen exchanged glances. They both saw worry and anxiety in each other’s eyes.

“Elder Xing, agree to what he said. This fellow is reckless. We shall grant his wish today,” the extremely embarrassed Wang Feng urged impatiently. As he looked at Xiao Chen, he hatefully gritted his teeth.
