Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Seeing Li Chen’s demeanor, the young man felt a bit awkward and gave an embarrassed smile. "Oh right, I almost forgot to introduce myself!"

"I am Bai Ziqing from Baishui Villa!"

After speaking, he pointed beside him to introduce a rather rough-looking man in black clothes, "This is Hei Xinn, the Third Prince of the Black Shark Tribe!"

"And this is Qiu Yundao, the most prized disciple of the Qiudao Sect Leader, Qiudao Ancestor!"

"This is the Little Princess from the Flower Sea, Hua Yingluo!"

"And finally, Shui Linglong!"

When introducing the last person, Bai Ziqing suddenly paused and intentionally omitted the person’s background.

Whether it was because he didn’t know or there was an unknown secret that needed to be concealed was unclear.

Upon hearing Bai Ziqing’s introductions, Li Chen remained indifferent.

However, all the onlookers broke into a cold sweat, their eyes wide open, nearly falling out.

These were all formidable figures!

Even the most powerful Eight-clawed Tribe in the Coral Sea appeared insignificant before them, simply not comparable.

With a composed expression, Li Chen calmly asked, "Let’s get straight to the point. What brings you here with such a grand entourage?"

Bai Ziqing smiled softly and said, "Since you are so straightforward, then I will get right to the point. Did you kill the Clan Leader of the Eight-clawed Tribe, Zhangg Kuang?"

Hearing such a direct inquiry from Bai Ziqing, immediately, everyone’s gaze was fixed intently on Li Chen.

The murder of Zhangg Kuang was the hottest topic in the Coral Sea, discussed everywhere.

Now that the mystery was about to be unveiled, how could they not be astounded? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Nasha’s heart jumped to her throat, her large watery eyes staring at Li Chen without blinking.

In the face of Bai Ziqing’s direct question, Li Chen did not deny but candidly admitted.

"Yes, Zhangg Kuang died by my hand!"

Before Li Chen’s words had fully settled, Hei Xinn, the rough-looking man, suddenly shouted, "Since Zhangg Kuang was killed by you, then his Seven-colored Treasure Cave treasure map must also be in your hands?"

Upon hearing Hei Xinn’s question, Nasha and the others were tense, even Bai Ziqing, Hua Yingluo, Shui Linglong, and the others widened their eyes, staring at Li Chen unblinkingly.

The identity of Zhangg Kuang’s killer held no importance to them.

What mattered was who now possessed the Seven-colored Treasure Cave treasure map that Zhangg Kuang had.

Li Chen unhurriedly sipped his tea, responding calmly, "Yes, it’s with me. What, do you intend to snatch it?"

Before Hei Xinn could reply, Bai Ziqing hastily responded with a smile, "You’ve misunderstood, Taoist Brother. We simply wish to collaborate with you!"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Collaborate? You each have a part of the Seven-colored Treasure Cave map too, right?"

Bai Ziqing nodded and replied, "To be honest, each of us from the five families has a copy!"

Li Chen said, "The Seven-colored Treasure Cave requires all seven pieces of the map to complete. You five each have one, which totals five. Adding my piece, that’s only six. Where will we find the last one?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s concern, Bai Ziqing smiled and said, "No need to worry, Taoist Brother. In seven days, there will be an auction by the Tuotuo River. The seventh treasure map will appear then!"

Upon hearing about the auction, Li Chen’s thoughts raced.

It would be a good opportunity to purchase the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed to refine pills.

Seeing that Li Chen suddenly stopped replying, Bai Ziqing extended an invitation.

"We came to invite you, Taoist Brother, to attend this auction by the Tuotuo River!"

Li Chen was already inclined to agree, so when Bai Ziqing proposed it, he agreed without hesitation.

"In that case, we shouldn’t delay. Let’s set off!"

Bai Ziqing and the others were taken aback by how readily Li Chen agreed.

In fact, on their way over, they had concocted various speeches and even considered using force.

Yet unexpectedly, all their efforts were for naught.

Li Chen agreed so quickly, and things progressed so smoothly that it felt unreal to them.

Finally, Shui Linglong, usually silent, couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked:

"Aren’t you afraid this is a trap?"

Li Chen nonchalantly replied, "With just you?"

Hearing this, Bai Ziqing, Hei Xinn, Qiu Yundao, Hua Yingluo, and Shui Linglong couldn’t help but change their expressions, with a hint of annoyance.

If Hei Xinn, who had the most fiery temper, sternly questioned, "What do you mean by that, are you looking down on us?"

Li Chen glanced at him and replied, "If I looked down on you, I wouldn’t be joining you on this trip!"

Hei Xinn wanted to say more, but Bai Ziqing pulled him back.

After quickly calming Hei Xinn, Bai Ziqing bowed to Li Chen to apologize.

Li Chen was magnanimous, casually waving his hand and lightly saying, "It’s alright. Although I’m not particularly generous, I won’t fuss over trivial matters!"

At that moment, the Little Princess Hua Yingluo, who had kept silent, suddenly covered her small mouth, letting out a bell-like laugh.

"You’re quite interesting!"

Li Chen took a careful look at Hua Yingluo; she wasn’t very tall, shorter than Shui Linglong by a head.

However, her figure was perfectly proportioned.

She wore a pink long dress, her willow-like slender waist tied with a white tassel.

On the tassel, one could vaguely see peach blossoms blooming. From afar, she resembled a flower fairy, pure and untainted, elegant yet not seductive.

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "Little Princess, you are also very beautiful!"

Hearing such straightforward praise from Li Chen, Hua Yingluo’s cheeks immediately flushed with an enticing red.

Hei Xinn, who had always admired Hua Yingluo, was furious when he saw a stranger flippantly teasing the woman of his dreams.

Noticing the shift in mood and to prevent conflict, Bai Ziqing quickly changed the subject and cheerfully asked Li Chen, "By the way, may I ask for your name, Taoist Brother?"

Li Chen finished his cup of tea and replied slowly and distinctly, "My name is Li Chen!"
