"Chu Feng, your father truly is powerful."
Upon learning that Chu Feng's father had actually snatched something from this woman's hands, the Queen grew excited.
After all, this woman was formidable. The fact that Chu Feng's father could steal something from her could only mean he was even stronger.
Chu Feng had realized this too, but now was obviously not the time to dwell on it. This woman was so ruthless — if his father had taken her things, wouldn't he have to pay the price in his father's stead?
"You're not afraid?" The reason the woman asked this was that Chu Feng's expression hadn't changed at all upon hearing the news.
"Senior, I've just heard of your fearsome reputation. To say I'm not afraid would be a lie," Chu Feng sighed.
"Rumors aren't always true," the woman said.
"Indeed, I think so too." Chu Feng nodded, feeling that with the woman saying this, there might be a turn for the better.
"But the rumors about me — they're true," the woman added.
"..." Chu Feng was speechless.
"A father's debts are paid by his son. Go retrieve something for me, and I'll let you go," the woman said.
"Senior, what is it?" Chu Feng asked.
"The Crimson Blood Lotus," the woman replied, then added, "The Martial Arts Commerce Guild has it."
"Where is the Martial Arts Commerce Guild?" Chu Feng asked.
"You don't even know the Martial Arts Commerce Guild?" the woman asked.
"To be honest with Senior, I've always kept a low profile and don't like socializing much. I really don't know a great deal," Chu Feng said.
"The little princess of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan is your friend, and you keep a low profile? Don't like socializing?" The woman frowned.
"Well... actually, those two things aren't mutually exclusive," Chu Feng explained.
"Find out for yourself. I'm only giving you ten days. If you don't bring back the Crimson Blood Lotus within ten days, you'll never see your little princess again."
"Also, don't even think about calling someone to rescue her," the woman said.
"Rest assured, Senior. I absolutely won't tell anyone about this. It's just that ten days — isn't that a bit too short?" Chu Feng said.
"Ten days — I've already been more than generous."
"If you can't retrieve the Crimson Blood Lotus within ten days, then you clearly want this little princess of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan to die."
With those words, the woman vanished, her voice still echoing in Chu Feng's ears.
Chu Feng dared not hesitate for a moment. He hurried to a crowded area to find out what exactly the Martial Arts Commerce Guild was and where it could be found.
And when he inquired, he discovered that the Martial Arts Commerce Guild was a massive trading organization spanning the vast cultivation world.
It specialized in buying and selling treasures belonging to cultivators and Spirit World Masters. It was the largest commerce guild in the current vast cultivation world — bar none.
It was said that the forces behind it were extremely mysterious, yet incredibly powerful.
No one who had ever dared rob the Martial Arts Commerce Guild had met a good end.
As for the Martial Arts Commerce Guild, despite having not a single branch in the Ancestral Martial Heavenly River or the Nine Soul Heavenly River, it had branches scattered across nearly every other heavenly river.
As it happened, in the very world where Chu Feng currently was, there was a branch of the Martial Arts Commerce Guild.
Upon inquiring about the distance, although it was quite far, based on Chu Feng's estimation, the round trip would take well under a single day.
By that measure, the woman truly hadn't been lying — the ten days she'd given were indeed very generous.
But Chu Feng felt that whatever the woman wanted him to retrieve was undoubtedly of immense value. To avoid any accidents, he set off toward the Martial Arts Commerce Guild at his fastest speed.
The Martial Arts Commerce Guild located in this world was an enormously massive city, and within it gathered countless cultivators and Spirit World Masters.
Aside from the guild guards who wore uniform attire, the majority were actually outsiders.
It was worth noting that the guild guards here were no weaklings — most were at the Martial Venerable realm, and some were even at the Half God realm.
Such cultivation levels were already considered powerful in this world, yet they were merely guards, which spoke volumes about the Martial Arts Commerce Guild's true strength.
Within the city, there were numerous shops. They weren't run by the Martial Arts Commerce Guild itself — they were operated by others who paid rent to do business there.
