"Once again, give me what you have in your hand!"
The man spoke coldly, glaring at Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang stared blankly at the perilous peak that had been cleaved in two in the distance, his throat tightening and his heart sinking.
Unconsciously, he flicked the seal in his hand towards the Peerless Strongman. Faced with such a formidable opponent, he truly felt no desire to resist.
So strong!
Incredibly strong!
Stronger than he could ever imagine!
He had seen Fire Sect Master Thunderstorm before, but Thunderstorm's strength was nowhere near that of this powerful figure.
There was no sign of him gathering energy, not a trace of Soul Power; with just a wooden sword, he unleashed enough force to slice a mountain peak in half from several miles away!
Such power was beyond anything he had ever seen or heard of!
After handing over the seal, Chu Liuxiang felt utterly drained, swaying as if he might collapse to the ground. It was only then that he realized his clothes were completely soaked through in just a few breaths!
How could the unimaginable Peerless Strongman possibly be interested in his obscure seal?
Chu Liuxiang couldn't fathom it even in his dreams. He had stumbled upon that seal by chance and sensed an incredibly suppressed power within it. Despite studying it for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to utilize it. This time, he brought it out not only for the Literary Duel but also to see if anyone else might have an idea on how to use that seal.
However, no one expected that a Peerless Strongman would suddenly emerge and seize the mysterious seal.
It was then that Chu Liuxiang truly realized just how precious that seal was.
The Peerless Strongman in the void, upon obtaining the seal, caressed it as if it were a beloved, his lips curling into a captivating smile.
The middle-aged man already exuded a striking aura, and when he smiled lightly, his presence became even more imposing.
Countless gazes turned toward him, filled with awe, fear, envy, shock, and astonishment—an array of emotions.
Whispers arose in their hearts; faced with such a powerful figure, no one dared to voice their thoughts aloud.
"Who exactly is he?"
"What realm does he belong to? Why do I feel like he is merely in the Spirit Wisdom Realm?"
"That overwhelming sword energy is probably unmatched even by Thunderstorm or Thunder Sovereign!"
"Where did he come from? This is truly entertaining, incredibly entertaining."
...
"Your Excellency, resorting to forceful means is not the way of a hero!" Chu Liuxiang steeled himself and cupped his fists toward the middle-aged man in the sky.
Several people were left speechless, not understanding the situation. Only Musa, who had seen Donghua before, looked at the figure of Donghua in the void with fear. He thought to himself, "Isn't Donghua dead? Even if he isn't dead and has been reborn, how did he gain such formidable power? If he was this strong back in Wushuang City, there wouldn't have been so many troubles."
"Look at that demeanor; it must be Senior Donghua without a doubt. Then Wei Chen should be nearby as well."
Thinking of this, Musa's face showed a hint of joy as he began to scan the surroundings, momentarily forgetting about the Peerless Strongman Donghua.
That person is Donghua?
Indeed, it is Donghua!
Wei Chen watched as Donghua inexplicably flew out and snatched something from Chu Liuxiang. He felt an immense frustration; he had thought that Donghua was the kind of person who remained unmoved by anything, but it turned out he was just as troublesome.
"This master really knows how to take the lead; I like it a lot, hahaha." Wei Chen chuckled to himself. He admired Donghua's approach this time—if you like something, you should seize it! A real man doesn’t wait for others to disappear before regretting their inaction.
"But I wonder what Donghua is up to with this. That seal—could it be a powerful artifact?" Wei Chen pondered. Anything that caught Donghua's attention must be something extraordinary; otherwise, given his status and identity, why would he resort to stealing from others?
"Master, I hope you don't misjudge this; otherwise, it would be quite troublesome."
Wei Chen maliciously thought that if Donghua misjudged and that item turned out to be worthless junk, it would be amusing to see him waste his reputation on it.
Upon hearing Chu Liuxiang's words, Donghua's expression faltered for a moment but quickly returned to normal. He fixed his gaze on Chu Liuxiang and said calmly, "This item in your hands cannot exert any real power. Holding it is akin to wasting resources. Only in my hands can its true value be realized."
Donghua paused and continued, "However, I won't take your item for free. If you give it to me, I will compensate you in return. My strength is sufficient for any task, and as a reward, I can promise you one thing—anything that does not go against righteousness will be honored. You can rest assured about this."
Upon hearing this, Chu Liuxiang realized that there was no other choice. After all, he couldn't win in a fight, so what else could he do? Could he possibly take it back? That was impossible. Since that was the case, he might as well give it up. Obtaining a promise in return was not a bad deal. Moreover, Chu Liuxiang deeply understood that having that item in his possession was indeed a waste; it was truly a waste. He had spent so much time studying it and had still not found any answers.
"Your Excellency, as the saying goes, 'to the virtuous belongs the treasure.' Your strength is formidable, so it is only natural for you to take that item. In exchange for your promise, we at Daxing Gate have already gained something worthwhile. However, I have one more question that I hope Your Excellency can clarify."
Chu Liuxiang was extremely polite, and Donghua was not the type to be unreasonable. He nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead and ask."
"May I inquire what this seal actually is?" Chu Liuxiang asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time. He had tried various means to find an answer and now felt he was very close to it, which made him somewhat excited.
"I'm sorry, but I can't provide specific details. All I can tell you is that this seal does not belong to this world. It is a weapon—a very powerful weapon—but in this world, its power cannot be unleashed, making it somewhat useless. If I take it away, I won't be able to use it either; I can only utilize it when I reach that world. Trading this seal for my assistance would be quite beneficial for you at Daxing Gate."
Indeed, it was quite beneficial.
Chu Liuxiang understood this logic as well, so there was no point in holding on to it; letting him take it would be better than keeping it himself.
"Senior Han Mang, how about this round of Literary Duel?" Chu Liuxiang asked Han Mang.
Han Mang smiled and said, "Since that esteemed individual has deemed this a good item, I naturally won't embarrass myself. You have won this round."
Han Mang was magnanimous; he knew he couldn't win anyway and simply admitted defeat.
After all, there was still a third round; if he won that one, it would all be the same.
Donghua returned to Wei Chen's side, naturally attracting countless glances, including those from Han Mang and the others who noticed Wei Chen's presence.
The shock among the group was beyond words. They finally understood why Wei Chen was able to so decisively annihilate Maguan City; it was because he had such a formidable figure by his side! That expert and that seal were not of this world—how did he even know about it? The only explanation was that he was not from this world either!
Seeing Wei Chen, Ginger Tooth, Musa, Mu Yang, and the others were all exhilarated; they felt they had finally found their anchor. It was strange how the tension that had gripped them suddenly dissipated upon seeing Wei Chen. It felt as if they had found their backbone.
Han Mang, Han Che, and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign shared the same sentiment. The sight of Wei Chen brought them immense reassurance; their anchor had arrived, and with him, failure was simply not an option. Had they ever failed when Wei Chen was around?
No, not once.
In the eyes of Han Mang and the other two elders, Wei Chen was their invincible lucky star. Wherever he went, victory followed.
Meanwhile, the people from Daxing Gate also spotted Wei Chen. Chu Liuxiang, based on intelligence from Bai Xiaosheng, immediately recognized Wei Chen's identity upon seeing him. He too realized that Wei Chen's ability to destroy Maguan City and Jiaoleimen was no coincidence; with such a powerful ally by his side, how could he not be formidable?
Eliminating enemies was a simple matter.
"That guy is Wei Chen... then that expert must be Wei Chen's senior... They are all from Peach Blossom Sect. If Paralyze had shown up earlier, what would there have been to discuss? With such high-level experts around, even if they built a Tenth-Rank Sect next to Fire Sect, those from Fire Sect wouldn't dare utter a word!"
Chu Liuxiang was furious; he felt tricked. With such powerful figures in play, what was the point?
In the Central Domain, being able to eliminate anyone at will was no joke.
Similarly, as onlookers observed the exchanges between Wei Chen and Han Mang from Peach Blossom Sect, they realized they were all in cahoots!
"How shameless! Paralyze is indeed in league with them."
"Yeah, and there's also that duel. That Peerless Master is ridiculously strong; with just one sword strike, he could easily take out an ordinary Soul Realm Initial Stage expert, right? With him around, who would dare to establish a Cloud Spirit Sect within the Daxing Gate's territory?"
"Actually, looking at their expressions, they must have just encountered him, right? Didn't you hear? Another team from the Peach Blossom Sect came from Maguan City and Jiaoleimen."
"That's true. Otherwise, with that Peerless Strongman's power, there would be no need for a Literary Duel at all."
...
The crowd was abuzz.
Wei Chen and the others didn't want to pay attention to those comments, and Han Mang was even less inclined to listen. They had lost the second Literary Duel, but they could win back in the third.
Even though the presence of that Peerless Strongman meant the Peach Blossom Sect didn't need to worry about anything anymore, they still needed to strive to win what had been agreed upon.
Han Mang looked at the Pharmaceutical Sovereign, who nodded in response. He took out a bottle from his pocket, opened the cork, and an intense and pure medicinal fragrance instantly filled the air.
Everyone was curious about the scent; it stirred their spirits and felt incredibly pleasant.
"I wonder if anyone here can appreciate this. Inside this bottle is a Ninth-Rank High-Level Soul Refining Pill. It's not particularly rare since it's not yet Tenth Rank. However, since I personally refined it, allow me to boast a little: this pill can help even those without any cultivation talent quickly condense their Martial Soul. Its effects can elevate someone with no talent from a novice straight to the Surge Realm."
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere erupted into excitement.
