Chen Tianwen considered his words for a moment, and then inadvertently gave Elder Xuancang and Elder Mingquan a wink.

The two elders understood and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Chen Tianwen spoke to Envoy Cui:

“Envoy Cui, the Golden-Winged Eagle is a ferocious beast of the Immortal Lord level among the various Lords. As you know, there are only two Immortal Lord level experts in our team. Without knowing the situation of the other party, we were at a loss. We even felt that going to the Golden-Winged Eagle's nest would be certain death, and we were all trying to stop Brother Xiang Dong from going in.”

Hearing Chen Tianwen's words, Cui Xiangdong was a little confused. What did Mr. Chen mean?

Are you trying to pin all the blame on me? Tell Master, it was my own will that made me act this way, wasn't it?

Envoy Cui nodded, agreeing with Chen Tianwen's statement.

Although Elder Xuancang and Elder Mingquan could easily stop two Golden-Winged Eagles at the Immortal Lord level, defeating them and snatching the immortal herb from them was absolutely out of the question.

When Cui Xiangdong saw his master nod, his heart skipped a beat, and his face turned ashen. He thought Chen Tianwen was trying to shift the blame onto him, but he couldn't refute it yet. Cui Xiangdong was very frustrated.

Chen Tianwen, however, paid no attention to the reactions of the crowd. Instead, he paced back and forth and continued:

"At this moment, when everyone was at a loss, Xiang Dong stepped forward and, with a few clever tricks, turned the impossible into possible."

What do you mean?

Cui Shengshi's curiosity was piqued, and he asked a question.

This was exactly the effect Chen Tianwen wanted. If Envoy Cui remained unmoved by his words, Chen Tianwen would know to find other excuses.

But now, it's clear that Ambassador Choi has already been moved.

"Xiang Dong, have Elder Ming Quan go to the Golden-Winged Eagle's nest and lure out the two Golden-Winged Eagles at the Immortal Lord level. Elder Xuan Cang, on the other hand, should lie in ambush in the opposite valley beforehand. Once the Golden-Winged Eagles at the Immortal Lord level come out, the two elders will work together to hold them back!"

Chen Tianwen recalled the scene from that day, trying to make the story as believable as possible, so his tone was very calm. However, Envoy Cui's expression was somewhat agitated as he spoke:

"Excellent! Excellent! What a brilliant plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Upon hearing Cui Shengshi's praise, Cui Xiangdong's expression softened, and at the same time, his gaze towards Chen Tianwen became complicated.

These were all arranged by Chen Tianwen himself; he only agreed because he thought they were feasible.

Looking back now, it was indeed a brilliant move.

Moreover, it was quite obvious that Chen Tianwen attributed the credit to himself.

Cui Xiangdong now felt somewhat ashamed of Chen Tianwen's earlier attempt to shift the blame!

Mr. Chen is so righteous, how could he commit such a despicable act!

Chen Tianwen paused for a moment, then continued:

"The five of us sneaked into the Golden-Winged Eagle's nest after it was lured out! Unfortunately, the Golden-Winged Eagle had hidden the immortal herb, making it difficult for us to find it. Envoy Cui, as you know, the Golden-Winged Eagle is a ferocious beast of the king level. Although the two Golden-Winged Eagles at the Immortal King level were not present, the cubs of the Golden-Winged Eagle also possessed the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal. Xiang Bei and I fought hard to stop the two cubs, while the three brothers, Xiang Dong and his companion, continued to search for the immortal herb."

Envoy Cui nodded, a hint of sorrow in his heart, and said:

"Was it at this time that Mr. Chen swallowed the elixir, causing this situation?"

Envoy Cui knew that when Chen Tianwen entered, his strength had been suppressed to the level of a perfect Golden Immortal. If he wanted to face the Golden-Winged Eagle, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Chen Tianwen could only rely on elixirs to temporarily boost his strength in order to have any chance of fighting the Golden-Winged Eagle.

It turns out that Mr. Chen's serious aftereffects were all his own fault!

Cui Shengshi sighed silently to himself.

At this moment, Elder Mingquan also spoke up, saying:

"Envoy Cui, Elder Xuancang and I together held up two Golden-Winged Eagles that were Great Luo Golden Immortals, but when the Golden-Winged Eagles sensed that their cubs were in danger, they suddenly unleashed their power. Even with our combined efforts, we were only able to stop one of them..."

Envoy Cui nodded, understanding Elder Mingquan's predicament. After all, the Golden-Winged Eagle's speed was among the top of the ferocious beasts, and the Nether Serpent and the Black Tortoise were no match for it in terms of speed.

So being able to stop one was already the best they could do.

Cui Xiangdong wasn't stupid; he just felt a natural sense of pressure when facing his master, which made him feel helpless.

Now that Cui Xiangdong had basically realized what was happening, he said to Cui Shengshi:

“Master, my two junior brothers and I had just found the immortal herb when we were stopped by a golden-winged eagle that suddenly returned at the Immortal Lord level. My two junior brothers were caught off guard... I only managed to get Mr. Chen and my junior brother out by relying on the protective immortal artifact that you gave me, Master.”

Cui Xiangdong spoke with tears streaming down his face, which touched Cui Shengshi's heart slightly.

Envoy Cui sighed and helped Cui Xiangdong, who was kneeling on the ground, to his feet.

The descriptions from several people gave Cui Shengshi some idea of ​​the situation, and Cui Xiangdong's imposing image of being a master strategist was quietly established in Cui Shengshi's mind.

In that critical moment, Cui Xiangdong managed to rescue Mr. Chen and his junior apprentice, which was quite commendable.

As for those who die facing west or south, that's fate!

Envoy Cui patted the dust off Cui Xiangdong and said:

"Dong'er, you did well this time. However, you misjudged the opponent's strength and caused this big mistake. But, considering that you did everything for your master, I will not punish you this time."

Cui Xiangdong was overjoyed, but he still put on a sorrowful expression and said:

"Thank you for your mercy, Master. I will definitely study hard from now on, stay by your side, and learn diligently!"

Envoy Cui felt somewhat pleased by Cui Xiangdong's flattery, and his anger subsided considerably.

"Envoy Cui, I wonder how your collection of immortal herbs is going?"

Seeing that the matter had been resolved satisfactorily, Chen Tianwen quickly changed the subject. After all, this matter involved too many people, and if anyone let slip even a little bit, it would arouse suspicion in the suspicious Envoy Cui.

Moreover, Chen Tianwen was secretly relieved that Envoy Cui hadn't pressed Cui Xiangbei too much; otherwise, given Cui Xiangbei's personality, he would have definitely let something slip.

What Chen Tianwen didn't know was that Cui Xiangbei was still in a daze at this time.

Why is what they say completely different from what I experienced?

Envoy Cui took out several kinds of immortal herbs from his robes, handed them to Chen Tianwen, and said:

"The list provided by Mr. Chen includes almost all the medicinal herbs we've collected!"

Chen Tianwen accepted the immortal herb, nodded, and said:

"I also have some reserves here, so we can start refining elixirs for Envoy Cui now!"
