Although Jun Chen had a father who was a Martial Emperor, his own natural talent was freakish in the extreme. Outside, he could be somewhat arrogant, overbearing, and utterly untamed! But after all, he was the leader of Longteng and a duly commissioned general of Huaxia. How could he engage in petty, thieving, and murderous acts that would damage the reputation of his organization and shame his country?
When dealing with enemies, using slightly underhanded methods didn't matter. The crucial point was that the Tiansandao Sect and Shanhai Pavilion were not his enemies. The Sword Guardian was different; the Xuanyuan Sword had already chosen its master, so if they insisted on trying to seize it and died, they deserved it. However, this ancient pill formula was ownerless—whoever found it would keep it. Since Nan Batian and Lian Canghai had found the pill formula, they were its rightful owners. For him to go and rob or steal it would be unjust and improper; he needed to make Nan Batian and Lian Canghai voluntarily hand it over... He certainly couldn't steal or rob it himself, as that would beneath his dignity, but other people could!
Jun Chen said, "Let's go take a look at that island first, and talk about the rest when we get back."
