Chapter 631: Chapter 631

In the presence of the Langya Clan’s ancestor, the other ancestors did not have the privilege of sitting down. Instead, Langya Wenqiu and Fang Chen were allowed to sit directly in front of him, a gesture of the Langya clan's respect for the Void Immortal Sword Sect.

As soon as Fang Chen was seated, a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator approached respectfully and placed a silver platter in front of him. On it were neatly arranged two hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Fang Chen was slightly taken aback. “Ancestor, what is this for?”

The Langya Clan’s ancestor stroked his beard and smiled. “Young friend Fang, you have disregarded your own safety to accompany Wenqiu here to Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! How could our clan be unreasonable? This is a small meeting gift. I hope you will find it satisfactory.”

Two hundred mid-grade spirit stones? A small gift?

Fang Chen was sincerely amazed. Even for the Langya Clan, it couldn’t have been easy to provide him with an amount . Mid-grade spirit stones were a lot rarer than low-grade ones. Not only are they very useful for people in the Lower Three Realms, but cultivators in the Middle Three Realms also found them crucial.

Aside from a dozen mid-grade spirit stones and a low-grade, profound-rank spiritual treasure, Spirit Lord Xue of the Parting Fiery Dao Sect had nothing else worth mentioning.

In the past, Yu Donglai, who was a Golden Core Realm cultivator along with his few disciples, only had a total of two hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

Langya Wen Xia's eyes showed a hint of astonishment. “The ancestor actually values Fellow Daoist Fang so highly?”

Langya Da Zhao looked a bit embarrassed.

“In that case, I won’t be polite,” Fang Chen said with a bow and accepted the mid-grade spirit stones.

He could clearly sense that after accepting the spirit stones, the Langya Clan’s cultivators around him seemed to relax a bit.

It seems... the Langya Clan is already aware of how dire their situation is, Fang Chen thought.

Langya Wenqiu suddenly spoke up. “Ancestor, you just mentioned that many clans are avoiding us. What’s going on? Even if the Prefect is involved, we have recently taken many territories from the Qin clan. We shouldn’t be at a disadvantage, right? Why do they think we are about to lose?”

In the face of interest, the words of the Prefect might not carry much weight. It was now clear that standing with the Langya Clan was necessary to gain greater benefits.

The Langya Clan’s ancestor sighed lightly. “I originally thought the true cause of this matter was the Three Solar Fruit….”

“It isn't?” Langya Wenqiu asked in surprise.

Wasn’t that the cause of the conflict between the two sides? She thought.

The Langya Clan’s ancestor shook his head gently. “Things are not that simple; there are some underlying reasons involved. If it were just the Prefect being bribed by the Immortal Qin Clan, it would not be a big issue. We are not easily manipulated.”

Langya Wenqiu understood what that entailed. “Ancestor, is there someone else involved?”

“According to some rumors, it is the Nine Generation King’s Manor from the Western Continent,” the Langya ancestor said with a grim expression.

Langya Wenqui’s expression changed slightly. “The Nine Generation King’s Manor from the Western Continent?”

This matter actually involved an Immortal Court-level power?

There were four great continents within the Central Continent. These continents were in the north, south, east, and west. An Immortal King presided over each continent. For example, Heavenly King Zhen of the Eastern Continent and the Nine Generation King of the Western Continent. Both of these figures were Ascension Realm cultivators and were listed on the Emperor Rankings!

The Langya Clan’s ancestor nodded gently. “Indeed, although it is only a rumor and there is no concrete evidence proving that the Nine Generation King’s Manor is involved, even a slight possibility is enough to isolate our clan. No one dares to Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free! Even the clans that were very friendly with us will now take the side of neutrality in this matter. This is the best outcome we can hope for.”

After a pause, he looked at Fang Chen and Langya Wenqiu. “Therefore, in this negotiation, we must rely on the name of the Void Immortal Sword Sect. If you two can make the Prefect and others wary, the outcome of the negotiation might be much better for us.”

“Senior, do you know about the Ninth Son of the Nine Generation King?” Fang Chen suddenly asked.

The Ninth Son of the Nine Generation King?
