The endless dark clouds darkened the sky, making it appear as if thick ink had been spread out.
Amidst the rumble of thunder, a cool rain poured down, yet the atmosphere that descended upon the geniuses was exceptionally intense, like the sweltering heat of midsummer, restless and agitated!
They could tell that the actions of the thirteen divine sons and holy daughters were not normal purchase requests, but rather a form of coercion!
The fact that multiple parties came together to visit carries a certain deterrent effect!
"It's only been a few days, that's fast! Is the news true or false?"
Some people are skeptical, thinking it might be bait thrown out by some force to lure people in while they remain calm and observe the situation.
However, this doubt was quickly dispelled and confirmed by multiple sources!
"It's true. Yi Huang invited me to go, but I felt Ning Chuan's attitude was uncertain and the risks were difficult to control, so I politely declined and wanted to see how things developed before making a decision!"
" Yi Huang?"
Some people were surprised and asked, "He's the young commander of the Changye Corps. Isn't he afraid of being targeted by Ning Chuan?"
Before the Martial Star's resurgence, Ning Chuan was ambushed and killed by seven Sea Realm in the North Sea Domain. One of them, an alien race, was the target of the Changye Corps's support.
" Ning Chuan is definitely stronger than Yi Huang, but killing Yi Huang will be extremely difficult!"
Many descended geniuses had heard of Yi Huang; he was very famous and his reputation had shaken many places.
This person doesn't cultivate the Law, but follows the path of physical cultivation. He has a bright future, has already opened five Divine Treasure, and possesses terrifying vitality!
In terms of survival ability alone, he is second to none among the heirs of the Bright Moon Grade forces!
" Nie Xingbei was among them. Although he wasn't the current Divine Son of the Nie Family, he was one of the committee members when the Martial Star Peace Supervision Council was established. Few Divine Sons and Holy Maidens at the Bright Moon Grade could rival him!"
"This visitor is clearly not friendly; it's definitely not just a simple purchase!"
There is much discussion and speculation that this could lead to war!
Because Ning Chuan's ruthless suppression of Nie Shanyi at the mediation meeting severely humiliated the Nie Family!
A force of the Great Sun Grade cannot be insulted!
Nie Xingbei will not let this go so easily; he will definitely use this as a pretext to launch an attack!
However, some pointed out that if Ning Chuan were willing to sell, it might settle the matter peacefully, and the other geniuses traveling with him would prefer to buy the Enlightenment Flower.
"Although Nie Yang has a powerful background, there are still people who are not afraid of him!"
" Yu Yi also wants to buy the Enlightenment Flower!"
Someone mentioned a name, which caused quite a stir.
Yu Yi, only twenty years old, is a famous beauty in the western part of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom, and comes from the Cangyue Chamber of Commerce.
The power behind them isn't particularly large; it's only a mid-level Bright Moon Grade power.
However, this woman has a close relationship with the Yin Family family of the Divine Kingdom, and the power she can wield is terrifyingly great. Many peerless geniuses treat her with utmost respect when they see her!
"They're all big shots!"
Some people were quite moved.
"Without sufficient power, even Radiant Star Grade power wouldn't dare to come knocking and force us to surrender!"
" Ning Chuan is in a difficult situation this time. They have no choice but to sell, but once they do, the prestige they gained that day will likely plummet!"
"That's more like it. With so many powerful figures vying for supremacy, where is the peace?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, their interest piqued.
It wasn't just curiosity; they used every channel they could to gather information about potential buyers, preparing to seize the opportunity!
At the same time.
Military headquarters.
Compared to the chaos outside, this place is peaceful and serene, without any sense of impending doom.
The dozen or so arriving geniuses were very calm. They handed over their invitations to the meeting and then followed a military Heavenly King to a reception hall, where they waited patiently.
Furthermore, they invited Li Yunxi to act as a mediator to ease the tension.
"We've been polite enough, haven't we? We've given them all the face they deserve, but isn't Ning Chuan being a bit too arrogant? It's been over half an hour, and they still haven't come to see us."
A beautiful woman leaned against the window, her figure graceful, watching the falling rain. Her eyes held a hint of melancholy, evoking pity in the viewer.
She is Yu Yi, seemingly naive, but with exceptionally shrewd methods.
Li Yunxi sat quietly, shook her head upon hearing this, and explained, "The military has already said that Ning Chuan is not at headquarters and is on his way back."
"Your Highness is right, let's be patient!"
A sturdy young man took the conversation, scratched his head, and said with an honest smile, "After all, it is a seller's market, so you should wait a little longer."
Yu Yi glanced at him, smiled faintly, and said, " Yi Huang, no matter how good your attitude is, it doesn't change the fact that the Changye Corps attacked Ning Chuan!"
The robust young man was none other than the young commander of the Changye Corps!
"Some minor conflicts can be resolved; they weren't caused by me."
Yi Huang shrugged, a smile on his face, and joked, "Besides, even if we can't resolve it, with all of you here, we can't just let me get killed on the spot!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunxi frowned slightly.
She agreed to act as the mediator because Yu Yi and the others assured her that they would absolutely not resort to violence.
Beside him, Nie Xingbei noticed something. He was quite extraordinary, clad in dark metallic armor, exuding a heavy aura. He said in a deep voice, "Be quiet. If you really want to talk, communicate telepathically."
The words were finished.
The reception hall quickly fell silent.
Everyone knew that they had come to purchase the Enlightenment Flower.
However, once the purchase was made, how things would develop was beyond Ning Chuan's control!
It's not just because Ning Chuan forcibly suppressed the world with force!
They vaguely heard rumors that some high-ranking officials in the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom were not satisfied with Ning Chuan and did not want to see him being so unruly again!
Time slips away, bit by bit.
At noon, the rain stopped for a while, and a cool breeze filled the air.
A tall, slender figure walked into the reception hall.
In an instant, the atmosphere on the scene changed drastically. Nie Xingbei, Yu Yi, Yi Huang and others tensed up. When facing the strongest person in the world of Martial Star, they inevitably fell into a tense mood.
"Are you the ones who want to buy Enlightenment Flower from me?"
Ning Chuan remained calm as he surveyed the crowd. His invisible gaze fell upon these geniuses, yet they felt an immense pressure.
"I'm not."
Li Yunxi stood up, shook her head, and said softly, "I'm just here to introduce Brother Ning to them."
Beside him, Yi Huang raised his hand, smiled sincerely, and introduced himself, "Greetings, Brother Ning. I am Yi Huang, and I would like to purchase your Enlightenment Flower."
" The Changye Corps..."
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp glint flashing within them, which startled Yi Huang, making him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy!
However, Yi Huang didn't show it, and said apologetically, "Although I didn't participate in the battle in the North Sea Domain that day, it was indeed the fault of the Changye Corps, and we are willing to make amends."
"We've heard that Brother Ning possesses numerous Law, so the Changye Corps is willing to offer a Third-Grade Law Spirit of Law Comprehension at the Universe Realm level as an apology."
Yi Huang smiled and said, "Furthermore, regarding the price of the Enlightenment Flower, the Changye Corps can provide Spirit of Law Comprehension with a strong Second-Grade Law, at the Demigod level, or an equivalent amount of other resources. What do you think, Brother Ning?"
