Zhong Tianhao's words immediately made Ji Haoyuan and Zhang Tianyang beside him furrow their brows.

It wasn't because of his tone or attitude, but because of what he just mentioned.

What kind of transaction was worth the other party coming all this way?

Moreover, he specifically mentioned the matter of him killing Master Bi Chenzi.

Could it be...?

Ji Haoyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

He looked at Zhong Tianhao and said, "I wonder what kind of transaction Senior Brother Zhong wants to make with me?"

Zhong Tianhao smiled and said, "I heard that Master Bi Chenzi had a Fuya Token on him.

If I'm not mistaken, that Fuya Token is now in Junior Brother Nanhua's hands, isn't it?"

"Hmm, Senior Brother Zhong, how did you know?"

Although he had already guessed, when he personally heard confirmation from Zhong Tianhao, Ji Haoyuan still felt a bit puzzled.

Logically speaking, the only people who knew about this, besides himself, should be True Monarch Xuanyuan.

But True Monarch Xuanyuan obviously wouldn't reveal such things to outsiders.

Unless, there were others who knew about this besides him and True Monarch Xuanyuan.

Indeed.

Zhong Tianhao smiled again and said, "Junior Brother Nanhua, don't you know?

The matter of Master Bi Chenzi having a Fuya Token has long been spread from the True Words Sect side.

I think that I'm not the only one who knows this now."

"Spread from the True Words Sect side?"

Ji Haoyuan's expression suddenly tensed.

He wondered how Zhong Tianhao knew about such a thing.

It turns out, the source of the information actually came from the True Words Sect.

That makes sense.

After all, there might be people on their side who knew about this.

As for why they did this...

Ji Haoyuan could easily guess.

It should be to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

And incidentally make Ji Haoyuan a target in the eyes of many.

After all, the news of the upcoming opening of the Fuya Secret Realm is no secret to many people.

And whether one can enter the Fuya Secret Realm is a matter of great importance for him and those around him in terms of achieving Nascent Soul.

In such a situation, even fellow disciples are bound to have thoughts, let alone others.

Isn't it just like this?

The first person who wanted to make a move on him had already come, right?

Thinking this through, Ji Haoyuan simply stopped hiding and nodded, looking at Zhong Tianhao:

"That's right, that Fuya Token is indeed in my hands now.

However, Senior Brother Zhong, you surely know what this Fuya Token means to us.

So, I can only say sorry to Senior Brother Zhong, but I fear you will be disappointed."

"Haha, Junior Brother Nanhua doesn't have to refuse so quickly; why not hear my conditions first?"

Zhong Tianhao spoke with a smile.

However, Ji Haoyuan just shook his head and directly asked back.

"What conditions, Senior Brother Zhong, do you think could compare with the opportunity to achieve Nascent Soul?"

The atmosphere in the room immediately became tense with that sentence.

Zhong Tianhao's smile gradually faded.

He looked at Ji Haoyuan and said calmly:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, are you sure you won't reconsider?

You do know how many people have their eyes on that Fuya Token in your hands now?"

This wasn't a threat, but a fact.

But then what?

Without a Nascent Soul appearing, Ji Haoyuan believed that with his current strength, he feared no enemies.

Boldly, he could even say that even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch wanted to attack him, he was confident that he could escape from them.

So...

Ji Haoyuan shook his head again.

"Senior Brother Zhong, you should go back; this Fuya Token in my hand will not be traded with others."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became stagnant again.

Zhong Tianhao gave Ji Haoyuan a deep look and nodded.

"Very well, it seems Junior Brother Nanhua doesn't want to give me this face.

So be it.

Then, may Junior Brother Nanhua keep that Fuya Token safe, and we shall meet in the Fuya Secret Realm in the future."

With that, Zhong Tianhao turned and left with his people.

It was clear that from beginning to end, Zhong Tianhao was quite restrained.

Although his attitude couldn't be considered good, it never reached the point of being completely antagonistic.

And the main reason for all this was nothing other than Ji Haoyuan's strength.

Zhang Tianyang, who was beside him, had been watching the whole encounter.

He couldn't help but feel some emotions in his heart.

He was all too familiar with the character and temperament of Senior Brother Zhong.

It could be imagined that if the person facing Zhong Tianhao wasn't Ji Haoyuan but another Golden Core cultivator,

or even someone like himself, who had no significant achievements in the late Golden Core stage, the other party's attitude probably wouldn't have been like that, and they certainly wouldn't have given up so easily.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyang couldn't help but smile and turn to Ji Haoyuan, saying:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, I didn't expect you already have a Fuya Token in your hand, which is equivalent to securing a spot to enter the Fuya Secret Realm in advance.

In that case, let me congratulate you first."

Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Senior Brother Zhang, don't tease me.

I've already become a target of many, and as soon as I leave the territory of the Demonstration Sect, someone might come after me."

"Haha!

Junior Brother Nanhua is too modest.

In the Southern Wilderness Realm, besides Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who else could deal with you, Junior Brother Nanhua?

Do you really think that Senior Brother Zhong is someone who gives up so easily?"

"Hmm..."

When Zhang Tianyang mentioned Zhong Tianhao, Ji Haoyuan couldn't help but contemplate.

"I wonder, Senior Brother Zhang, how much do you know about Senior Brother Zhong?"

"Well, I do know a bit.

Now that there's time, why don't you visit me at the Ten Thousand Laws Immortal City, Junior Brother? It's been a while since we caught up. What do you think?"

"Sure, then I'll visit and trouble you, Senior Brother."

...

While speaking, the figures of the two quickly disappeared from the original place as well.

Half a month later.

The war between the human and Demon Beast tribes they were involved in finally concluded completely.

The Demon Beast side retreated to their territories.

The human side began rebuilding new cities and guiding the Earth Veins.

After all, this major battle's main battlefield was on their human territory.

The destruction across the human lands was quite significant.

In some regions, the Spirit Veins were even severed, and specialized people were needed to reconnect and guide them.

Otherwise, over time, the severed Spirit Veins would not be repaired, spiritual energy would gradually dissipate, and eventually, it would become a waste vein entirely.

This would undoubtedly be a tremendous loss for the human race.

While cultivators everywhere were busy with their own affairs, the Golden Core cultivators from the Demonstration Sect who were previously stationed outside also began returning one by one.

This included Master Lei Xia, Shi Siyao, and Zhou Kun among others.
