295: Pan Chen of the Pan family

Xun Xiuyuan looked around again and said, "I've shown all my treasures. If you have no interest, I'll be leaving now."

Just as Xun Xiuyuan finished speaking, a hearty voice immediately rang out.

"World Lord Xun, no more jokes, please. I am Xia Yu, the City Lord of Jing City, stationed by Extraterrestrial Merchant Guild. I wonder if I could invite World Lord Xun to Jing City for a drink?"

Xun Xiuyuan did not refuse such a friendly gesture.

Looking at the flashy City Lord in white before him, Xun Xiuyuan chuckled, "Very well. I haven't been to Jing City before, and there are some matters I'd like to inquire about with the City Lord."

Xia Yu was overjoyed that Xun Xiuyuan was willing to go to Jing City. This Xun Xiuyuan was someone the Commerce urgently needed to win over, and he had just received the notification when he encountered him here.

At this time, the onlookers, seeing that Xun Xiuyuan was going to Jing City, all came forward to try and get close to him, not expecting Xun Xiuan to remember them, but at least to make a familiar face.

Patriarch Pan Chen was also present at this time, thinking of the Pan Family's predicament, and his stubborn eldest son—he couldn't possibly kill him, could he?

If he could befriend this Xun Xiuyuan, the Pan Family's days would surely be better. After all, even the Eternal Great World had given up on retaliating against the Great Barren World.

One must know that Xun Xiuyuan had slain three True Saints and more than a dozen Initial Saints from the Eternal Great World, yet the Eternal Great World had made no moves for so many days.

This fully demonstrated Xun Xiuyuan's strength, to the point where even the Eternal Great World dared not lightly start a war.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan agree, Xia Yu did not invite anyone else, but instead rushed to Jing City with Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan's speed was much faster than Xia Yu's, because Xun Xiuyuan's inner world was incredibly vast, capable of mobilizing an immense amount of World Power, so the distance he could instantly move was naturally much greater.

By the time Xia Yu was nearing Jing City, Xun Xiuyuan was already strolling around Jing City.

He now had a clear understanding of Xun Xiuyuan's strength. This World Lord Xun's power was an unfathomable abyss. Although he was also a True Saint, he was incomparable to him.

Xun Xiuyuan heard Xia Yu's voice transmission and smiled slightly.

He appeared directly on the open-air balcony of the tallest building.

Xia Yu was seated beside the tea table, and the moment he saw Xun Xiuyuan appear, he quickly stood up.

A maid of Super God King Realm standing nearby was about to come and make tea, but Xia Yu waved his hand and said, "You may go and rest. Today, I will personally make tea for World Lord Xun."

Xun Xiuyuan glanced at the maid, thinking, 'You really know how to enjoy yourself. A Super God King maid making tea, how decadent.'

Afterward, the two made tea and chatted. Xun Xiuyuan's objective was simple: to understand the Lieyang Great World and the Eternal Great World, to be fully prepared.

Xia Yu also spoke without reservation: "World Lord Xun! As you know, Jing City, where I am stationed, is located in the eastern part of the Extraterritorial Battlefield and borders the Lieyang Great World. Therefore, the major families of the Lieyang Great World all have shops in Jing City, so I am relatively familiar with the Lieyang Great World. I just don't know what information World Lord Xun wishes to know?"

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and said, "First, tell me about the strength of the Lieyang Great World. It is rumored that this Great World is the number one power in the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "That's not quite right. The number one power in the Extraterritorial Battlefield is definitely Yuan Ling Sect, the second is Extraterrestrial Merchant Guild, and only then is it the Lieyang Great World."

Xun Xiuyuan hadn't considered Yuan Ling Sect, because the strength of Yuan Ling Sect was beyond doubt.

However, now learning that the second largest power was Extraterrestrial Merchant Guild, he was immensely shocked.

Xia Yu smiled and said, "There's nothing to be surprised about. The President of Extraterrestrial Merchant Guild is the only Great Saint who has not been conscripted by Yuan Ling Sect, and he has been specially permitted by Yuan Ling Sect. Of course, this special permission requires a portion of the profits to be remitted."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and said, "So that means the Lieyang Great World also has no Great Saints?"

Xia Yu frowned and said, "That's not entirely accurate. Over countless years, the Lieyang Great World certainly had Great Saints, but they were conscripted by Yuan Ling Sect. It should be said that the current Lieyang Great World has no Great Saints internally, because Yuan Ling Sect does not allow it."

Xun Xiuyuan nodded again. As long as there were no Great Saints within the Lieyang Great World, it was fine. He still didn't know if he could defeat a Great Saint.

The Titan in the Time Secret Realm, though severely injured, still exuded a very powerful aura. Even after his breakthrough, Xun Xiuyuan wouldn't dare say he could defeat the Titan.

Xun Xiuyuan spoke again, "Does the Lieyang Great World have a Pan Family? It doesn't seem to be a top-tier family, but it's not weak either."

Xia Yu nodded and smiled, "Yes, the Pan Family even has a shop in Jing City."

Just then, the maid walked in and said something to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu, who had initially been a little displeased, instantly relaxed his brows and looked at Xun Xiuyuan, saying, "World Master Xun, isn't it a coincidence? The head of the Pan Family wants to meet you. He's just outside my building."

Xun Xiuyuan was startled. This was indeed a coincidence. He nodded at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu then instructed the maid, "Bring him up."

The maid turned and left.

Xia Yu looked at Xun Xiuyuan and said, "World Master Xun, if you have a grievance with the Pan Family, please, for my sake, settle it after you leave Jing City."

Xun Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not what you think. Don't worry, if I wanted to kill him, he would already be dead."

His words were calm, but full of pressure. Xia Yu believed Xun Xiuyuan had that strength.

Led by the maid, Patriarch Pan Chen arrived at the top floor balcony and saw the City Lord of Jing City and the World Master of the Great Barren World drinking tea.

Patriarch Pan Chen hurried to the tea table, bowing as he walked, taking three steps as two.

He cupped his hands and said, "Junior Patriarch Pan Chen greets City Lord Xia and World Master Xun."

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the middle-aged man before him—a handsome man. Although he appeared middle-aged, he was graceful and elegant, but a little too obsequious, lacking backbone.

Xun Xiuyuan said nothing, picking up his teacup and taking a sip.

Xia Yu, being a shrewd person, immediately introduced, "World Master Xun, this is Patriarch Pan Chen, the head of the Pan Family from the Lieyang Great World. He is a strong practitioner of the Initial Saint Realm."

Xia Yu's attitude towards Xun Xiuyuan was very respectful. Even during the introduction, Xun Xiuyuan remained seated, merely nodding.

Patriarch Pan Chen immediately realized that this World Master Xun's importance, or rather his strength, was beyond his imagination.

Xun Xiuyuan went straight to the point, "You are the head of the Pan Family? Then do you know Pan Zhenbang?"

Regarding Ji Yunshu's partner, Xun Xiuyuan truly only knew a name and nothing else about him, so he directly asked.

This time, it wasn't Xia Yu who was stunned, but Patriarch Pan Chen.

Could Zhenbang have provoked such a powerful figure?

Pan Zhenbang and Ji Yunshu had fallen in love without revealing their respective backgrounds.

Patriarch Pan Chen only knew that she was a girl surnamed Ji from the Great Barren World.

Patriarch Pan Chen, unsure if this was good or bad, instantly regretted his rash visit, but he couldn't remain silent now. He could only brace himself and ask, "World Master Xun, the Pan Family has many disciples, and many share the same name. I wonder what cultivation level the Pan Zhenbang World Master Xun is referring to has."
