Chapter 1634 (Raw 1616): Fighting His Way Out

The devious old man was very surprised, filled with shock as he gazed at Xiao Chen.

Who knew, Xiao Chen smiled calmly. “I was just scaring you. To think that I really guessed right.”

Xiao Chen had only been somewhat suspicious. The guards strictly checked him when he came in but were very casual when it came to his Captain Token, like they did not care at all.

Hence, Xiao Chen kept an eye out. Later, the guards said that he could go only to the first floor.

At that time, Xiao Chen had already felt that something was wrong. He was just buying information, not going to the auctions or dueling ring. Why would there be a need for different grades? Normally, Spirit Jades would be sufficient, no matter what kind of news it was.

“You...!” The devious old man immediately felt incredibly frustrated. He said coldly, “White-clad brat, don’t get cocky. If you have the courage, don’t walk out. The waters of the Pirate Alliance are very deep. If you want to cause trouble here, it will only happen in your dreams!”

“Creak!”

As the devious old man spoke, someone shoved the doors open. Three tall men who looked like ruffians barged in.

The leader looked at Xiao Chen with a stern expression. “Are you causing trouble?”

The devious old man appeared like he saw his savior. He climbed to his feet and said, “That’s right. He is the one! He is the one! He is here for information, but instead of handing over Spirit Jades, he even pulled me out.”

The leader looked at Xiao Chen and smiled coldly. “Interesting. Now, even nobodies dare to cause trouble at the West Wind Tower. Leave behind one hundred thousand Spirit Jades. Otherwise, you can forget about walking out of the West Wind Tower.”

“You are really full of nonsense.”

Xiao Chen could not be bothered with arguing. His figure flashed, and he chopped with a knifehand strike.

Xiao Chen’s palm saber quickly descended.

The leader showed a startled expression. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen attacked at the drop of a hat. In the leader’s fluster, he retreated quickly.

The two at the left and right made their moves, taking advantage of this to surround Xiao Chen and force him back.

However, things did not go as the two wished. Xiao Chen was extremely fast, not giving the leader a chance to dodge at all. His palm saber hacked heavily on the other party’s crossed arms. “Crack!” Cracks immediately appeared on the ground.

The leader groaned in pain; the bones in his arms broke, his arms losing all sensation.

“Scram aside.”

Xiao Chen showed no mercy, kicking the leader away. Then, with a flash, he exited the room. The two men on the left and right did not even manage to touch the corner of his clothes, getting nothing but air.

When Xiao Chen emerged from the room, groups of people holding sharp weapons charged at him from both ends of the corridor.

All of these cultivators were at the Yang Essence Stage at the very least. There were several half-step Primal Core cultivators, and the ones leading the charge were Minor Primal Core cultivators.

Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm as he recalled the route taken when he came. Then, he charged over to the right. action

“How dare you cause trouble at the West Wind Tower?! You must be tired of living.”

When the leader of the group on this side saw Xiao Chen heading towards him, he smiled coldly and charged over as well.

“Whoosh!”

A strong wind blew, and Xiao Chen met that person midway. They exchanged glances and did not hesitate to make their moves.

This corridor was not very wide, but the two started an intense battle. They were so fast that they did not leave any traces of themselves behind, only flickers of afterimages.

After a hundred moves, the leader vomited a mouthful of blood, knocked back by Xiao Chen’s punch.

The huge force sent the leader crashing painfully into several people behind him.

The devious old man quietly stuck his head out of the booth to watch the situation.

The old man saw Xiao Chen advancing very rapidly without stopping at all. Anyone blocking him did not last more than three moves.

“We ran into someone hard to handle.” The devious old man showed a sorrowful and bitter expression, feeling somewhat nervous. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen was so strong.

If this matter blew up, the old man would suffer as well.

Xiao Chen progressed very quickly. Aside from the few at the start who lasted a few moves, there was no one who could block him for more than one second.

One second was sufficient for Xiao Chen to attack more than ten times. In less than ten moves, the stout man blocking him flew back like a sandbag.

At the same time, someone rushed into a magnificently decorated room for distinguished guests at the top of the West Wind Tower.

“Chief Manager Ding, there is a problem. Someone is causing trouble.”

There was a middle-aged man brewing tea with a relaxed expression in the room for distinguished guests.

This middle-aged man wore simple clothes and had wooden Buddhist prayer beads on his hand. He appeared extraordinary and gave off an air of calm and ease.

This person’s name was Ding Yuan, and he was one of the Chief Managers of the West Wind Tower. He had conducted business in this Pirate Hall for decades and was very strong, knowledgeable, and held great authority.

When Ding Yuan saw the flustered countenance of the approaching person, he calmly leaned back and pointed to the tea table. “Have some tea first, then properly tell me about what happened in an orderly manner.”

This youth was called Xiao Ma. After he picked up a teacup and gulped down its contents, he reported what happened below in detail.

Ding Yuan’s expression did not change as he said, “It is just a half-step Primal Core cultivator, and they cannot deal with him? Since when did my West Wind Tower become so weak?”

“Chief Manager Ding, I already invited three guest officials to make a move but am still unable to deal with that person. I do not have the authority to command the guest officials of the inner sect, so I can only ask you for help,” Xiao Ma responded quickly when he heard that.

Ding Yuan smiled and said, “That is rather interesting. I’ll go and take a look.”

After coming out of the distinguished guest room, Ding Yuan leaned over the railing and looked down. Xiao Chen was currently fighting against three alone but was not at a disadvantage.

The three guest officials of the West Wind Tower were all peak Minor Primal Core cultivators and not one of those weak Minor Primal Core cultivators. In the Purple Sun Region, they would be top-class experts, as strong as Major Primal Core Venerates.

However, despite bringing out all they had, they still could not take down Xiao Chen. There were no signs of Xiao Chen being at a disadvantage.

At the top of the tower, Ding Yuan’s eyes twinkled. He muttered, “The bloodline of the Great Desolate Eon’s ten thousand races. I just can’t figure out which one it is.”

Below, Xiao Chen was preparing to bring out his trump card and forcefully leave.

Suddenly, the three guest officials in the hall stopped and looked respectfully behind him.

Xiao Chen turned around and saw someone approaching. He sized up Ding Yuan. This person, who should be the manager of the West Wind Tower, was a late-stage Major Primal Core cultivator with an exceptionally stable aura. With one look, it was clear that this was no benevolent person.

Ding Yuan said coldly, “All of you, withdraw. I’ll deal with this.”

“Yes, Chief Manager Ding.”

Ding Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Then, he looked at Xiao Chen and suggested, “Little Brother, how about we go somewhere and have a chat?”

Xiao Chen originally thought that this person would attack him and was already prepared to cause a larger commotion.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so polite.

“There’s no need. If you have anything to tell me, you can tell me here,” Xiao Chen replied indifferently.

Ignoring Xiao Chen’s rude tone, Ding Yuan smiled. “It is just a misunderstanding. Little Brother, there is no need to take it to heart. I really have no ill intent towards you. If I did, I would have already activated the guest officials of the inner sect. Although the West Wind Tower does not appear in public view, we do still possess some strength.”

These words were true, but Xiao Chen did not fear the other party. He looked directly at the other party and asked, “What exactly do you want to say?”

In that instant, when facing Xiao Chen’s gaze, Ding Yuan had the illusion of his soul being seen through. He calmed himself before replying, “I admire your strength. Have you ever thought of earning big in this Pirate Hall and tempering yourself in combat?”

“Are you referring to the dueling ring?” Xiao Chen eyed the other party suspiciously.

“You are smart.”

Ding Yuan nodded and smiled again. Then, he handed an engraved card to Xiao Chen. “If you are interested, you can come and look for me at any time. The owner of the dueling ring in this Pirate Hall is my friend. Recently, it had two geniuses from the blessed lands. They gained a lot of glory there and earned plenty of Spirit Jades. You can go and take a look.”

Xiao Chen received the engraved card and glanced at it. Then, he raised his head and said, “I’m interested. I’ll come and look for you. I’ll take my leave now, then.”

Watching Xiao Chen leave, several people at the side turned anxious. “Chief Manager Ding, how can you just let him go? He broke the rules of our West Wind Tower.”

Ding Yuan replied indifferently, “A big reason why the West Wind Tower can stand for so long is knowing who we can and cannot offend.”

With one look, Ding Yuan could tell that this person had extraordinary origins. Furthermore, this person possessed a bloodline of the Great Desolate Eon’s ten thousand races. Clearly, this was not a person to offend.

“Bring over his information broker. I have to cross-examine him. There needs to be an adjustment to the ethics here.”

These words inspired fear in everyone. Then, Ding Yuan turned around coldly and left.

When the devious old man hiding in a corner heard this, he was so frightened that his legs went soft, and he dropped to the floor on his butt.
