Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Hong Mu now tried to bring trouble to Chu Fengmian, only hoping to make Chu Fengmian take the initiative to back down and resolve Young Master Lei's trouble.

Chu Fengmian's response was something he could never have expected.

Even that Young Master Lei, upon hearing Chu Fengmian's words, looked at Chu Fengmian with flickering eyes, seemingly incredulous.

"What did you say?"

"What? Didn't you hear clearly? I said, I'll take all the bloodstones from the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce."

Chu Fengmian spoke loudly, as if fearing that Young Master Lei couldn't hear him clearly.

As soon as these words came out, Hong Mu's face changed immediately, and he quickly spoke up.

"Mr. Chu, what are you saying? Quickly apologize to Young Master Lei; he is the second son of the Lei family and ranks only below the Young Master of the Lei family among the younger generation."

Hong Mu hurriedly explained, fearing that Chu Fengmian didn't understand this Young Master Lei's identity.

"Young Master Lei's grandfather is a Supreme Elder of the Lei family, a quasi-emperor; you mustn't offend him!"

Hong Mu spoke with a beating heart; it didn't affect him much if Chu Fengmian offended Young Master Lei, but if it implicated the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce, that would be a big trouble.

Now Hong Mu was regretting agreeing to sell the bloodstones to Chu Fengmian, having brought such a big trouble; he didn't care about the benefits of doing business with Chu Fengmian anymore.

If Young Master Lei bore a grudge against him, his status in the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce would plummet; it's known that the eight major royal families are the chamber's biggest clients.

Even a single Lei family wouldn't be enough to hurt the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce significantly, but it would be easy to deal with him as a vice-president.

"So what? Isn't the principle of 'first come, first served' something the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce intends to uphold?"

Chu Fengmian looked at Hong Mu with flickering eyes.

"Give me the fifty thousand bloodstones now, not one less, or I'll see for myself what the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce has to say."

With that, Chu Fengmian sat in the chair, not putting that Young Master Lei in his eyes at all.

He had killed even the Young Master of the Huo family, one of the eight great families; how could a mere second son of the Lei family compare? If the Young Master of the Lei family was here and provoked Chu Fengmian, he'd kill him just the same.

"Very well, very well, I didn't expect the imperial city to have such an interesting fellow."

Young Master Lei looked at Chu Fengmian and spoke coldly.

"It seems some people really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth? Mr. Chu, is it? Hand over all fifty thousand bloodstones and kneel to apologize to me; then this matter can be considered over."

Young Master Lei stood in front of Chu Fengmian, staring at him, as though his words were forgiving Chu Fengmian.

"Hand over all fifty thousand bloodstones? Kid, you're dreaming?"

When Chu Fengmian heard Young Master Lei's words, he almost burst out laughing; who did he think he was?

Even if the Lei family's quasi-emperor came, Chu Fengmian wouldn't be afraid, let alone a mere second son of the Lei family.

"For your arrogant words, I should kill you, but today here in the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce, I won't make things difficult for you. Leave your Space Ring, and I'll let you go."

Chu Fengmian looked at Young Master Lei and spoke coldly.

"Madness, madness."

Listening to Chu Fengmian's words, Hong Mu nearly blacked out. Though he knew Chu Fengmian had boundless wealth, he never imagined Chu Fengmian could be this arrogant.

This was facing the Lei family, one of the eight major royal families, and Chu Fengmian actually wanted the second son of Lei to leave his Space Ring?

"Trouble, real trouble."

Hong Mu hastily turned his head and spoke to Young Master Lei.

"Young Master Lei, even if just for the sake of our Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce, why not settle this outside?"

"The face of the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce? What does that count for!"

Young Master Lei disregarded Hong Mu's words entirely, his eyes already filled with murderous intent as he looked at Chu Fengmian.

No one in this imperial city had ever dared to speak to him this way, much less Chu Fengmian, who was just an Emperor compared to the eight major royal families. To them, even Supreme Ancestors were no more than ants, let alone an Emperor, who wasn't even worth as much as an ant. Young Master Lei's strength had reached the Heavenly Realm, a few levels higher than Chu Fengmian's Realm.

An ant dared to provoke him; how could he tolerate it?

"Go to hell!"

Young Master Lei couldn't hold back, his Spiritual Power burst out suddenly. His right hand transformed into a sharp claw, grabbing towards Chu Fengmian. Lightning crackled within the claw, fierce beyond measure, rumbling like thunder.

Though his Realm was Heavenly, this one claw's power was far more ferocious than any Supreme Ancestor of the Immortal Realm.

"Thunder Serpent bloodline? An impure Thunder Serpent bloodline, not even third-rate among Demon Beasts, dares be insolent in front of me?"

Chu Fengmian watched as Young Master Lei's claw attacked, yet he remained seated calmly. At the moment the attack came, Chu Fengmian slowly lifted his head.

Suddenly, Chu Fengmian also struck out a claw. The War Dragon's blood coalesced, transforming into the War Dragon's Claw, and smashed away.

"Crack!"

The Thunder Claw was ripped apart on the spot.

"War Dragon's Claw? A member of the Dragon Clan?"

Seeing Chu Fengmian's move, Young Master Lei's eyes flickered. He recognized that Chu Fengmian's claw was a dragon claw, especially noticing the faint Dragon Aura on Chu Fengmian, though hidden, still detectable to him.

Young Master Lei's eyes widened, then he laughed.

"A member of the Dragon Clan? You dare come to my Ancient Snake Kingdom during the time of the sealed nation? So arrogant, do you not know that during the sealed nation period, if you die in the Ancient Snake Kingdom, the Dragon Clan won't avenge you? You dare break the rules, good, I've never tasted dragon meat before, today I'll take you as an example!"

Young Master Lei sneered, then suddenly roared.

"Thunder Heaven and Earth!"

Rolling thunder burst out from Young Master Lei, causing the entire Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce to tremble.

Although Hong Mu could have intervened to stop it, he didn't dare; to intervene would mean facing the endless wrath of Young Master Lei. He could only gather his Spiritual Power to protect the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce.

And in this center of thunder, Young Master Lei's form suddenly changed, transforming into an enormous long serpent, its scales covered entirely with permeating thunder.

"Boy, taste the Thunder Power!"

Young Master Lei laughed hideously, his body enveloped in countless thunders, rushing toward Chu Fengmian.
