We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World

269  Call Me Brother

The events that had occurred in the ruins of the God Demon Sect made even the experts of the older generation pay more attention to Su Chen when they saw him. It could be said that Su Chen's reputation had already resounded throughout the East Barrens. Regardless of whether they were from the older or younger generation, all prodigies would become extremely wary when they heard Su Chen's name.

"Su Chen... What kind of person is he?" Huo Xi muttered softly. She looked up at where the old man had left but gained no insight because Su Chen was not there.

"Huo Xi, we're really fortunate. I didn't expect that we would run into the number one prodigy of the East Barrens, Su Chen. If not for him today, we would have been in serious trouble!" At this moment, the blue-clothed man and a few of his companions came to Huo Xi's side and exclaimed with a sigh.

As soon as he finished speaking, the others chimed in agreement, "Yes, indeed!"

"I didn't expect that the only person in the world who could suppress the Golden Crow Clan prince was Su Chen!" "Unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that we don't have the fortune to meet such an exceptional prodigy in person. If I could meet the Great Mystery Holy Son, my life would have meaning!"

"Miss Huo, the Golden Crow Clan is aggressively threatening you. If you were to present the Exquisite Pagoda to the Great Mystery Holy Son, it could protect your safety." At this moment, a young man next to the blue-robed man spoke up. His voice was not loud, but this statement attracted much attention. Even the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan could not help but glance at Huo Xi, nervousness filling his golden eyes.

If the Exquisite Pagoda were to fall into Su Chen's hands... He was afraid he would never have a chance to seize it in his lifetime. When Huo Xi took out the Exquisite Pagoda earlier, everyone present saw it. Although most could not identify the specific material, the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan, Yin Lie, and the others knew very well that the pagoda was made of immortal gold! The immortal gold unique to the Immortal Realm! Its hardness surpassed that of the many divine metals in their world. This precious material was superior to countless natural treasures and could be used to refine immortal divine weapons. In the past, even great emperors found it difficult to obtain any. Yet today, this immortal gold had appeared in the hands of a mere Spirit Sea Realm cultivator. It could be anticipated that after today, Huo Xi would attract endless pursuit from others.

Previously, her reputation was never publicly known, mainly because the Golden Crow Clan had concealed it. They also coveted this type of immortal gold greatly. Therefore, that was why they tried to suppress news of Huo Xi's fame.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist," Huo Xi replied in a noncommittal manner upon hearing this. Her attitude was very cold, clearly still upset over the matter of them fleeing just now.

On the other side, Yin Lie sat upright, spreading out his divine sense to sweep a glance behind him. Then he glanced slightly at the Fourth Prince of the Golden Crow Clan not far away, wearing a thoughtful expression.

"Brother Su Chen's words from earlier seem a bit unusual! Logically speaking, if Daoist Brother Su Chen said he needed the Seven-Colored Divine Stone, he would only have to ask and the True Treasure Pavilion would naturally present it with both hands. But the issue is he specifically stated he did not want to see any fights..."

 Thinking of this, Yin Lie's heart suddenly stirred as he silently thought, "Could it be that Brother Su Chen has taken a fancy to that Exquisite Pagoda?" Yin Lie grew increasingly certain, his eyes flickering contemplatively.

...

At the same time, in the True Treasure Pavilion's large hall, the decoration of this hall was extremely splendid. In the center of the hall, there were exceptionally beautiful dancers gracefully performing. Each woman was putting forth her utmost effort to showcase her enchanting allure.

Seated at the head of the hall was a blue-robed man, his hair draped over his shoulders and his eyes profound. He sat there serenely, giving off an aura of heaven and earth in union like a young saint descended into the world.

"Fellow Daoist Su Chen, your Seven-Colored Divine Stone has arrived!" At this moment, a black-robed man suddenly appeared in the hall. He placed a tray before Su Chen and said with a smile. This person was none other than the Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion in the Holy City.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master!" Su Chen gently nodded and casually took out a storage ring, placing it on the table. "Here are ten million Supreme-grade spirit stones."

"What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Su?" The True Treasure Pavilion Master waved his hand and said solemnly, "We hit it off immediately, We were eager to become brothers right away. Your current actions seem a bit out of place! Also, back then, you gave me a divine medicine in the God Demon Sect's ruins. I haven't repaid that favor yet. How could I accept your spirit stones now? If word of this got out, how would the East Barrens think of me? Fellow Daoist Su Chen, if there is anything you desire in this auction, please just say it. I will have someone bring it over!"

"This..." Su Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the Pavilion Master. "Thank you, Pavilion Master."

"Calling me Pavilion Master is overly distant. I'm just a bit older than you. If you don't mind, feel free to call me elder brother!" the Pavilion Master spoke nervously. When facing others, he wouldn't even bother addressing them as junior brothers.

 Because...there were few people in the cultivation world of the entire East Barrens qualified to be called his junior brother. However, Su Chen was different. Su Chen's talent was too astonishing. It was only a matter of time before he became a great emperor. Calling Su Chen brother now was like calling a future emperor brother.

"Since that's the case, then I shall respectfully obey! Brother Feng!" Su Chen pondered briefly before smiling and responding.

The other party wanted to call him brother. How could he not also want another brother in the True Treasure Pavilion? Su Chen knew how formidable the True Treasure Pavilion was. Even great emperors could not control it. Su Chen knew he couldn't directly challenge the True Treasure Pavilion. But if he were to infiltrate from within the organization's middle ranks, then given enough time, the entire middle ranks of the True Treasure Pavilion would be at his beck and call. By that time, it would be hard to say whose True Treasure Pavilion it really was.

Just like Su Chen's status in the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. Although he was only a holy son, from a certain perspective he was already comparable to the Supreme Elder.

"Haha... If there is anything you need, just tell me. As long as it's within my capabilities, I'll do my utmost." The True Treasure Pavilion Master laughed heartily. He glanced down at the dancer in the hall's center and waved his hand. After everyone had left, he pondered for a long time before speaking. "Just now, Junior Brother stopped that young lady from fighting with the Golden Crow Clan's Fourth Prince. Could it be that you have also taken a fancy to that piece of immortal gold?"

From the moment Huo Xi took out the Exquisite Pagoda, almost all the experts in the True Treasure Pavilion had sensed it. This point could not be concealed from them at all. After all, immortal gold's reputation was simply too great. One might not even see a piece in hundreds of thousands of years. Yet today, someone had actually forged one into a pagoda. If the person was a quasi-emperor or emperor, that would be one thing. But the crux was, the person was only at the Spirit Sea Realm! It could be said that every expert in the True Treasure Pavilion wanted a cut of it, eager to get the immortal gold into their own pockets.
