Chapter 1004: The President of Feng Yan Union
Jin Buhuan didn’t even dare to breathe loudly as he felt the young man’s gaze on him. He felt defeated.
“I’ve seen the recent status of the union’s business. You’ve done well.” said the young man indifferently. He finally spoke.
“Thank you, President.” Jin Buhuan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders and he let out a long sigh.
So this young man was actually the president of Feng Yan Union. No wonder Jin Buhuan was so nervous. Feng Yan Union knew everything. Even major sects didn’t dare to offend Feng Yan Union. How strong were their power and influence? And how strong was this young man?
“Sit. I’ve instructed for you to come back this time because I want to ask about the matter of the Cang Yuan Sword.” The young man continued.
Jin Buhuan was about to sit down when cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He almost fell to the ground.
“This subordinate is incompetent. Although I searched everywhere, I still couldn’t find out the whereabouts of the Cang Yuan Sword,” said Jin Buhuan in cold sweat.
“Didn’t I hear news from every country of every continent about the Cang Yuan Sword?” The young man frowned.
“This subordinate has confirmed that all the news were rumors,” said Jin Buhuan hurriedly.
“Rumors…” The young man let out a long sigh—the sculpture-like face couldn’t hide the disappointment.
“President, in this subordinate’s opinion, the news about the appearance of the Cang Yuan Sword this time might be a rumour itself, or maybe someone deliberately setting up a trap to confuse the public.” Jin Buhuan was silent for a moment, before gathering his courage to make a guess.
“No! The Heaven and Earth anomaly that day definitely wasn’t fake. It must have been the appearance of the Cang Yuan Sword. It’s just that you haven’t been able to find it,” said the young man with certainty.
“This subordinate is incompetent! Please punish me, President!” said Jin Buhuan hurriedly, so frightened that his entire body trembled. Although he didn’t know why the president was so certain, he knew that as long as he was, this matter would definitely not be wrong. If he didn’t find the Cang Yuan Sword, it could only mean that he was incompetent.
“Forget it. Over the past ten thousand years, the Cang Yuan Sword has appeared more than once, but when has it ever been found? This can’t be blamed on you. You ma return,” said the young man as he waved his hand dismissively, looking slightly disappointed though he wasn’t angry.
“Thank you for your great kindness, President. This subordinate will return to Nan Xia Country and try my best to locate the whereabouts of the Cang Yuan Sword,” said Jin Buhuan excitedly. Although the president was not angry, his heart was filled with self-blame and guilt. It was worse than being punished.
“It has been so long and we still haven’t found it. Perhaps there is no hope. You don’t have to force yourself. Let’s just leave everything to fate.” The young man sighed and waved his hand to signal for Jin Buhuan to leave.
Jin Buhuan looked at the lonely expression of the young man and felt even more guilty. He did not say anything else and walked backwards toward the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.
“By the way, President, there’s one more thing I need to report to you,” said Jin Buhuan carefully.
“Speak,” said the young man calmly.
“Ling Chuxi has already arrived at the Sacred Realm of the Sects and is rebuilding Golden Pill Sect. According to the news I just received, they have already visited Flowing Clouds and Celestial Sect. They are preparing to go to Black Sword Sect through Qianzhong Ridge,” said Jin Buhuan simply and clearly without overexplaining or leaving anything out.
“What realm has her strength reached?” asked the young man.
“The realm of True Essence Pinnacle Stage.” Jin Buhuan answered.
“Oh? How fast!” said the young man with slight surprise.
