Everyone gasped at the cruelty of Jiang Chen's order, as what he said did not involve one or two people, it affected every single person who was related to the Mu Rong family including those who were only working at their properties.
As for the warriors, destroying their cultivation base was equivalent to killing them.
"Chen'er, don't you think this is a little cruel?"
Jiang Zhen Hai asked as he furrowed his brows.
"Jiang Chen, you're a demon lord, you're not a human being!"
"I want to avenge my dad, I want to kill you!"
Cries were heard everywhere amongst the Mu Rong family. Many of them had red eyes and were screaming about how much they wanted to kill Jiang Chen.
"Dad, look at it this way. If you let them go today, then they might return tomorrow and harm you… I was being merciful when I said I wouldn't kill them."
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Dad, there is no right or wrong in war, there's only victory or defeat. The rule in the world of cultivation is the same. You can never show mercy towards your enemies because your enemy won't be grateful, and once you let them go… Well, it's the same as planting a seed of revenge in your own backyard. They did nothing wrong, but since they are part of this war, they will have to bear the consequences of it."
Jiang Chen said in an indifferent manner. In this small Fragrant Sky city, the people were unable to see a true war. The fights between those huge sects can easily destroy the entire area and kill countless innocent people, and as for the fight between humans and demons… The blood spilled by them would be enough to cover the land for thousands of miles.
Under the feet of the absolute strongest laid a path filled with blood and bones.
"I'll let you handle everything."
After saying this, Jiang Chen turned around and left.
Jiang Zhen Hai looked at Jiang Chen. A wave of terror swept through his mind, but soon his eyes regained their firmness. He turned around and looked at those men from the Mu Rong family who were under his control and said, "Do as young master commanded. Those with the Mu Rong name will have their cultivation base destroyed and one arm cut off, then chased out of the city."
Jiang Zhen Hai knew that Jiang Chen was a man with high aspirations. A small city like Fragrant Sky city couldn't hold him for long, and soon he will step into the world where the real cultivators resided. Indeed, Jiang Chen's methods were cruel, but only with this kind of attitude and methodology will Jiang Zhen Hai have a peace of mind in the future.
A dramatic change happened this night. Fire and blood was everywhere in the city, and all of the Mu Rong family's properties had been occupied by the Jiang family in less than two hours. Countless men were killed or wounded, and even the chief of the Mu Rong family – Mu Rong Zhan - was cruelly killed by Jiang Chen. From now on, there was no Mu Rong in the Fragrant Sky city anymore.
Zhou Bei Zhen was both stunned and startled for almost 3 minutes when he had heard the news of Mu Rong Zhan being killed by Jiang Chen. When he was back to normal, he took a deep breath and sighed.
"Little young master is someone chosen by the heavens, that's why he can accomplish things that others can't. He was like a hidden dragon, and soon he will fly high in the sky."
Zhou Bei Zhen had lived for more than 50 years. Although he had more life experience than others, his mind was still pretty conventional. He had never seen anyone like Jiang Chen before, and what Jiang Chen had accomplished had turned everyone's mind around. Their ideas on how the world worked had been twisted by Jiang Chen.
When Jiang Chen ordered them to attack the Mu Rong family, many people were thinking that he was too reckless, and even Zhou Bei Zhen questioned him… But, no one would have thought that the Mu Rong family could be destroyed so fast, and it can be said that this was all because of Jiang Chen alone.
This war was planned and arranged by Jiang Chen alone, and he was the one who killed Mu Rong Zhan, changing the sky above Fragrant Sky city.
The next day!
Sunlight started to shine from the east. It was another day with a hot bright sun, and peaceful days had finally returned to Fragrant Sky city. Fire and smoke, however, could still be seen in some places, and the smell of blood lingered in the air, making the atmosphere in Fragrant Sky city more depressing than before.
The Jiang family had eliminated the Mu Rong family. This was nothing important for the ones in the world of cultivation, but in Fragrant Sky city, this was enough to bring an earthquake.
The news couldn't be covered up for long, and no one was trying to cover it. Without purposely spreading the news, everyone in the city knew what had happened last night.
The Mu Rong family had vanished from the city overnight. Many people still couldn't accept this because it happened too fast, too sudden. Yesterday both families were having a duel on the fighting stage, and now one of those families were gone.
"Too fast, this is unbelievable! The Mu Rong family was one of the biggest tycoons in the city, and now they were eliminated in just one night… Is this for real?"
"Who could have guessed that this would happen…? The Jiang family acted so quickly!"
"I think it was because of young master Jiang Chen! You guys may have heard that yesterday, it was the young master who ordered the attack on the Mu Rong family, and he had also just broken through to the Qi Hai realm! He even killed Mu Rong Zhan, who is at the peak of the Qi Hai realm! This is unbelievable, too terrifying!"
"I heard that Jiang Chen purposely gave Mu Rong Zhan a chance to fight him alone, and then he defeated Mu Rong Zhan all by himself… He is a demon!"
"Sigh. The Mu Rong family were planning on eliminating the Jiang family by using the Lee family, but who could have known that the Jiang family would make their move first."
…
Everyone on the streets were talking about the war last night, and Jiang Chen's reputation had reached a new height. He had killed Mu Rong Zhan who was already like an untouchable giant to many people, and they were still wondering if all of this was real.
This 15 year old youngster was too ruthless. He did things with courage and complete confidence, and he was sharper than those of the old generation's greatest warriors. What he did had frightened many people; eliminating the Mu Rong family in just a single night was not something a regular person was able to achieve.
"In my opinion, the Mu Rong family were looking for death themselves. Jiang Chen is not someone who shows mercy, and they wanted to use the Lee family to destroy the Jiang family, allowing them to get good results without doing anything… Jiang Chen would not let them do that!"
"That's right, look at the results… They were eliminated by Jiang Chen in just a single night!"
"I heard that Jiang Chen destroyed the cultivation bases of the surviving Mu Rong warriors and cut off an arm of those who were related to the Mu Rong family… He is indeed fierce and cruel."
"Fierce and cruel my ass, both families were fighting for life and death. He showed mercy when he spared their lives."
…
All of the conversations contained Jiang Chen, a name that had changed everyone's mind in such a short period of time. From someone who fooled around and was useless to a great warrior who was capable of destroying the Mu Rong family in just one night… This all happened too fast.
This was a huge event for the people of Fragrant Sky city. While everyone was talking about what had happened, no one had forgotten about the other important issue… The Lee family from Red city. Jiang Chen had killed their young lord, and they will not let him get away with it.
"Although the Jiang family has eliminated the Mu Rong family and are now in charge of the city, there is an even greater threat waiting for them now."
"That's right, the Lee family has not done anything yet… The will be an even bigger earthquake coming to the city soon!"
"Sigh… Things are getting messy… Yes, Jiang Chen is capable of destroying the Mu Rong family, but the Mu Rong family is nothing compared to the Lee family."
"If the Lee family eliminates the Jiang family, won't the city have no owner then? At that time the city will be thrown into chaos as new powers will fight in order to gain control for themselves."
Many people were worried. The civilians only wanted to live a peaceful life, but because of all the recent events, the future was looking dim. Their lives could only return to normal if the Jiang family could grow and take control of everything again.
Within the meeting hall in the Mayor's mansion, the top men from the Jiang family sat on the left and right sides with Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhen Hai sitting in the main seats.
The atmosphere was heavy, it shouldn't be this way as they had just eliminated their rivals, the Mu Rong family, and gained complete control over the city. They should be celebrating… But no one was able to show a smile on their face. They all looked worried.
Of course, there was one person who had a smile on his face, Jiang Chen. He had changed into a clean white outfit, and he sat comfortably in his chair with his legs crossed. A smile could be seen on his mouth, and a large amount of confidence was visible on his face.
"The war last night ended perfectly, the Mu Rong family met with complete loss… Everyone should be happy, but why are you all showing such dull faces? Come on, smile!"
Jiang Chen said with a teasing expression.
Hearing what Jiang Chen said, everyone showed a smile on their faces, but the smiles were bitter ones. They couldn't really smile from the bottom of their hearts, and they were wondering how Jiang Chen was still able to smile? Didn't he know that they were now facing their biggest threat yet?
"Young master, yes we did eliminate the Mu Rong family, but the Lee family will not let this go easily. I believe within 3 days the Lee family will be here and attack us. How are we going to deal with them?"
Zhou Bei Zhen asked, everyone including Jiang Zhen Hai looked towards Jiang Chen. What Jiang Zhen Hai worried about the most about the most was the issue with the Lee family. Jiang Chen had now become the core of the Jiang family.
"Dad, Uncle Zhou, do you all think that the Lee family is unbeatable? Do you all think that once the Lee family arrives, we will follow the Mu Rong family's footsteps and be eliminated?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said casually, never showing a single sign of anxiousness.
Everyone remained silent, obviously Jiang Chen had said what they were all thinking.
"Young master, the Lee family from Red city is not something that the Mu Rong family can compare with. They have warriors at the Mortal Core realm, and their chief is at the Late Mortal Core realm… There's no way we can defend ourselves against those high level warriors."
"That's right, the warriors who have formed their Mortal Cores cannot be compared with those who have only formed their Qi Sea. No matter how strong and powerful a Qi Hai warrior is, there is no way for him to fight against an opponent at the Mortal Core realm. We cannot defend ourselves with our current strength."
Both fat men said, one after another.
"Chen'er, don't tell me you have a way to deal with them?"
Looking at how confident Jiang Chen was, Jiang Zhen Hai couldn't stop himself from asking that question.
"Dad, we just destroyed the Mu Rong family last night, there must be a lot of work to do. Those properties are all money and wealth; we should arrange them properly."
Jiang Chen didn't reply to Jiang Zhen Hai's question.
"Chen'er, we are now facing the Lee family, and all of our men's morale is low. They are not in the mood to pay their attention to other matters,"
Jiang Zhen Hai said. How he had described the situation was subtle. With the threat from the powerful Lee family, the morale was not only low, everyone was also scared and worried.
"All of you, do not worry about the Lee family. No matter who they are, if they come into this town, I'll send them back the same way they came."
Jiang Chen's eyes glowed as he stood up, "Everyone listen, carry on and do your usual tasks. Even if the sky falls down, you will have me to stand in front of you and carry it for you."
Jiang Chen left the meeting hall after saying what he wanted to say. In his wake he left all of the old men staring at each other with confused looks on their faces. They were wondering how their young master could be so confident.
They had all lived for a few decades, and they were all Qi Hai warriors… But when facing Jiang Chen who was only 15 years old, they felt like small children.
"This is the Lee family from Red city. Just how is young master planning on dealing with this?"
Someone said with a sigh. Although Jiang Chen behaved confidently, it wouldn't stop anyone from furrowing their brows. The enemy was just too strong, and they could not think about anything that could defeat their enemy.
"Just listen to what our young master said; he has never been wrong before."
"That's right. Thinking about it, he has never made a single mistake since he transformed."
Both the fat and skinny old man said simultaneously. Even Zhou Bei Zhen was silently nodding his head. They were all alchemists who held high positions within the Jiang family. A young man who was only 15 years old could concoct a pill with 100% effectiveness, and he could give them a precious soul training skill. He was a genius who could only be seen once every 1000 years - a heaven sent miracle in their minds.
"The Lee family has yet to arrive, we cannot let fear overcome us. Just listen to what Chen'er said. Everyone take care of their tasks like they usually would. You guys go and comfort the rest of our people, and don't think too much about the Lee family."
Jiang Zhen Hai told everyone. In their current situation there was no retreat, so they could only lay all their hopes on Jiang Chen.
"We will just adapt to the situation; there is no need to act like cowards."
A man with a sturdy body said before he left the meeting hall.
The peaceful days for the city were now gone, and everyone in the Jiang family felt worried. It was a bright, sunny day, but the whole city was covered in clouds.
Jiang Chen went into his own room and shut the door, denying all visitors. Even his own dad was unable to pay him a visit.
What was supposed to come will come. A raging rainstorm was bound to appear no matter what. Just 3 days after Lee Chang Hong was killed, people from the Lee family visited Fragrant Sky city.
There were only a few dozen people from the Lee family, but their strength was greater than 100 or even 1000 people. They were riding through the city recklessly on their tall houses, their destination - the mayor's mansion.
"Those who are not involved, get lost from here or die."
The words were spread out by a great warrior with powerful Yuan power; he was at the Mortal Core realm.
"Oh God, they are finally here. The Lee family from Red City are here!"
"Although there are only a few dozen people, they are all terrifyingly strong! 3 warriors are at the Mortal Core realm, and the rest of them are all at the Qi Hai realm… The Jiang family is finished."
"Look at their leader. His name is Lee Shan Yue, and he is the chief of the Lee family. A Late Mortal Core stage warrior, he rarely comes out because he has been focusing on breaking through to the Heavenly Core realm. You can tell that Lee Chang Hong was a very important person to him as he came personally this time."
"Of course he would come out. His own son was killed by someone, which is why he is so furious. Three Mortal Core warriors, dozens of Qi Hai warriors… They are going to turn the Jiang family in ashes this time."
"Sigh… If the Jiang family is destroyed, then our city will be swallowed by complete chaos."
…
Everyone was frightened, the Lee family was just too cruel. Most of the people here had never seen a warrior at the Mortal Core realm before. This was their first time seeing one, and it was scary.
"Move away."
The men from the Lee family were acting cruelly. A man swung down a whip, hitting a civilian who was unable to move away in time and instantly cutting him into 2 pieces.
"Looking for death."
The man said with a cold expression, riding past the body on his horse.
"Damn, they are too arrogant. They're treating us like we're nothing, and they're even killing us randomly."
"These people possess too much killing intent; I wonder how the Jiang family is going to react."
"Come, let's follow them to the Mayor's mansion and have a look."
"Don't count me in if you want to die. I still have a life to live. Just look at how the Lee family is behaving. If I were killed by them, then who would be able to avenge me?"
…
At the same time in the Mayor's mansion, they had heard the news of the Lee family arriving. Even though they were all prepared, they were all frightened upon hearing that the Lee family had arrived.
"Where is young master? The Lee family is here!"
Someone shouted out. This was a critical moment, but Jiang Chen, the Jiang family's supporting pillar, was nowhere to be found. He was still hiding in his own house, and he hadn't been seen by anyone during the last two days.
"Jiang Cheng, go and have a look at what young master is doing right now."
Jiang Zhen Hai said as he looked at Jiang Cheng.
"Yes master."
Jiang Chang ran towards Jiang Chen's house, his speed faster than even the fastest rabbit.
One minute later, Jiang Cheng came back with a swollen face and tears in his eyes. He went up to Jiang Zhen Hai.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Bei Zhen asked with a frown on his face.
"Young master chased me out and told me that nobody is to disturb him."
Jiang Cheng looked upset, the situation was so critical that he never knocked on the door, instead he went straight into Jiang Chen's room, and before he could say anything, he was slapped by Jiang Chen, and his leg was almost broken by Jiang Chen.
'Why am I always the one who gets hurt?' Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked up into the sky with tears in his eyes. He was just the messenger, he didn't deserve to be slapped.
"Why did this happen? Didn't young master tell us that even if the sky fell down he would be the one who would stand above us and hold it up? Why is he still hiding in a situation like this?"
"Young master can't just hide from people. The Lee family is here, and we can't hide from them."
A lot of people were feeling angry, they had no idea what their young master really wanted to do. He behaved with great confidence, and he said he would protect everyone from their enemies, the Lee family. He said this in front of everyone, but now that the enemy was here, he was hiding within his own room.
"Everyone shut up, there must be a reason why the young master didn't want to come out yet."
Zhou Bei Zhen shouted out loud. Although he couldn't understand why Jiang Chen did this, he did have confidence towards Jiang Chen.
Bang…
Suddenly a loud bang could be heard from the entrance. The front door to the Mayor's mansion had been broken into pieces, and a voice thundered, "All the men from the Jiang family, come out now and face your deaths."
The voice was loud, and it resounded everywhere in the Mayor's mansion. Everyone could clearly hear the voice, and some of those who were near the mansion were frightened into keeping silent.
"Gone, gone, the Jiang family is gone!"
The Lee family was too powerful, and by the way they behaved, they were not likely to give the Jiang family any chance of survival at all.
"Come, let's go and have a look."
Jiang Zhen Hai tidied up his clothes and walked towards the main entrance, the rest of the men took a deep breath and followed behind. This was a critical moment, and if they couldn't solve it properly, they would all die today.
Soon all the men from the Jiang family had arrived at the entrance. Looking at the front door which had been broken into pieces, everyone was startled. They looked at the men from the Lee family and saw a man who stood in front of everyone wearing a yellow robe. He looked like he was in his forties, and he had a sturdy body that could be compared with Mu Rong Zhan. A vicious scar crossed his face, frightening anyone who saw him for the first time.
The man was the chief of the Lee family, Lee Shan Yue. Rumors said he was a cruel person with a mean heart, and he won't let anyone who offended him get away easily. And now his own son had been killed in Fragrant Sky city, and he was planning on avenging his son by personally destroying the entire Mayor's mansion.
Lee Shan Yue portrayed a strong force around him. Those who stood in front of him would feel a great pressure, unable to even breathe properly. That was the aura of a Late Mortal Core warrior.
Behind Lee Shan Yue stood two old men who were in their 50. They had arrogant looks on their faces, and they were also Mortal Core warriors. Dozens of fierce men stood further behind them, and all of them were Qi Hai warriors. Among them was one man with a gloomy and hateful expression on his face, this was because he had seen Jiang Zhen Hai. It was almost as if he couldn't want to eat him alive.
He was Mu Rong Tian, the man who informed the Lee family in Red city about the news that their young lord had been killed. Due to the long distance between Fragrant Sky city and Red city, he was unable to return back in time.
Just from the obvious strength of both families, the Jiang family was almost guaranteed to die.
"Which one of you is Jiang Chen?"
Lee Shan Yue asked with a voice resounding as loud as a great bell, shocking everyone who heard him. His ruthless vision gazed upon all of the men from the Jiang family. He did not attack them straight away because in his mind, today was the end of the Jiang family, and everyone from the Jiang family will die today sooner or later. He wanted to find out who Jiang Chen was and ask him how he dared to kill his son.
"I'm Jiang Zhen Hai, I'm the one who killed your son; this had nothing to do with Jiang Chen."
Jiang Zhen Hai said. The Lee family had no intentions of letting a single Jiang family man escape from death. If Jiang Chen had no way of solving this today, then Jiang Zhen Hai would need to protect Jiang Chen at all costs, allowing him to escape from here and let the Jiang family live on.
"No, young lord Lee was killed by Jiang Chen. The alchemist who followed young lord Lee was killed by Jiang Zhen Hai. Both of them are culprits who cannot be spared. That little bastard Jiang Chen must be somewhere hiding right now."
Mu Rong Tian took a step forward and spoke out loud with a hateful tone. The Mu Rong family was gone, his hatred towards Jiang Zhen Hai and Jiang Chen was like an unstoppable waterfall. Only after the Jiang family was destroyed will he be able to let go of his hatred.
"Hiding somewhere? Then I shall kill his father first and see if he will come out or not."
A grim smile appeared on Lee Shan Yue's face, a murderous spirit emerging from his body.
All the men from the Jiang family whitened, faces pale, when they felt the murderous spirit belonging to Lee Shan Yue. Until now, Jiang Chen had told them that he would stand in front of them whenever a dangerous situations arises, but he was still nowhere to be seen. They were all sad in their hearts, and they had lost all hope.
"I'm the one who killed the men from your family. It had nothing to do with anyone else. The Lee family is a respectable family from Red city, and Chief Lee is someone reputable as well. I believe you won't put others in a difficult position."
Jiang Zhen Hai said.
"Mayor."
Zhou Bei Zhen blinked his eyes and said while grinding his teeth, "I will die together with mayor."
"Jiang Zhen Hai, you will have to die today. So does your son, there is no point of hiding from me. I will destroy everything belonging to you, and everyone will have to die today."
The scar on Lee Shan Yue's face trembled, and he spoke yet again with a grim smile, "But, I can give others a chance. You just need to kneel down and kowtow 3 times to me, and I might spare your life."
After he said that, the atmosphere amongst the Jiang family warriors had changed. All the men on the spot held a high position in the Jiang family, and they were all Qi Hai warriors. What Lee Shan Yue had said was aimed at them. As for the guards and fighters in the back, they wouldn't even have the chance to kneel down before Lee Shan Yue.
"Mayor, I'm sorry, but I don't want to die."
A man held his fist and paid his respects towards Jiang Zhen Hai before he walked up to Lee Shan Yue. He kneeled down and kowtowed 3 times.
"Mayor, I'm sorry, but I am only a guest. I do not want to die here."
Another man ran up to Lee Shan Yue and kowtowed in front of him. The first man to kowtow was Yang Xiao, and the second man's name was Chang Shan. They were both guests who were visiting Jiang Zhen Hai, and they had been loyal to Jiang Zhen Hai before this.
"Yang Xiao, Chang Shan, both of you are jerks! Mayor has been treating you so nicely, so how can you be so worthless?"
Zhou Bei Zhen said in a scolding manner.
"Bastard, worthless jerks, don't ever call yourselves men again!"
The fat old man was angry as well.
"Let them go, everyone has their own will. There is no need for them to die together with us. Since you have a chance to live on, then you should cherish it."
Jiang Zhen Hai said.
"I won't be kneeling down like a dog and kowtow, I would rather die."
Zhou Bei Zhen said sarcastically.
"I will die as a man, and 18 years later I will become an honorable man again."
The skinny old man thumped his own chest as he spoke.
The rest of the Qi Hai warriors didn't go and kneel down. They all had their dignities, and furthermore, Jiang Zhen Hai had been treating them nicely all these years. If they were to turn over to the enemy side when the Jiang family was in trouble, they would no longer be able to call themselves men.
On the other side, Lee Shan Yue looked at both of the men who were kneeling down. He had a hint of despise in his eyes, "Both of you stand up, I won't kill you, but you two will kill Jiang Zhen Hai."
Lee Shan Yue looked towards Jiang Zhen Hai. He wouldn't kill him personally, but he wanted him to be killed by his own men. That will make Jiang Zhen Hai miserable in his death.
"What?"
Both men shouted out at the same time, they had never expected that Lee Shan Yue would have such a demand for them.
"What's wrong? If you're not willing to do it then I will kill both of you right now."
Lee Shan Yue said casually. The power from his Mortal Core surrounded both Yang Xiao and Chang Shan's heads, making them have a difficult time breathing.
They looked at each other, grinding their teeth and shaking their heads.
After that, both of them stood up and started walking towards Jiang Zhen Hai.
"Mayor, we're sorry."
Both of them unleashed their Yuan power. In order to survive, they had no choice but to do this.
"Fuck you."
Zhou Bei Zhen was the first one to speak out. He and the skinny old man ran forward like the wind and attacked with their most powerful attacks.
Bang!
Both the traitors were feeling guilty, and they knew they were no match for Zhou Bei Zhen and the rest who were enraged. They were hit and sent flying, falling to the ground not too far away.
"Hmph!"
Lee Shan Yue let out a cold hump. He sent out a powerful wave of Yuan power from his body, sending Zhou Bei Zhen and the rest flying backwards. The fat and skinny old man were both at a lower skill level. As a result, both of them vomited blood. The difference between then and Lee Shan Yue was too huge.
"You're just a few Qi Hai warriors, how dare you fight back!"
Lee Shan Yue behaved like he was better than everyone.
"Chief Lee, there is no need to talk nonsense to them. Just kill them and catch that little bastard Jiang Chen."
Mu Rong Tian said cruelly.
"Alright, kill them all and demolish the Mayor's mansion. Do not leave anyone alive."
Lee Shan Yue gave his order coldly. He was a ruthless man.
Bang…
Following Lee Shan Yue's words, all the men from the Lee family released their Yuan force at the same time. The raging Yuan power was just like a powerful storm.
"How dare you!"
Right at this moment, a sudden change occurred. A powerful voice rushed out from somewhere within the Jiang mansion grounds. The voice struck out like thunder from the sky, everyone heard the resonating outrage. Just these three words alone startled everyone here.
Bang!
After that, an explosive sound could be heard. Everyone could see the roof of a house within the mansion grounds exploding, an invisible pressure saturating the atmosphere.
Following that, the air exploded, and a fiery red flame emerged from below. It looked like a dragon, and it formed a 3 meter wide sea of flame in their air. Invisible waves were being sent out of dragon, causing deep whirlpools to appear.
Swoosh…
A powerful soul power spread and filled the atmosphere above the Mayor's mansion.
"Such a powerful soul power, even my own soul is shivering… This is the soul pressure that only those who have formed their Heavenly Core can possess!"
Lee Shan Yue's face immediately lost its color.
"The combination of soul power and fire, this is a nearly perfect method to control fire! There is a powerful alchemist somewhere around here!"
"The soul power of a Heavenly Core warrior! There's a Heavenly Core warrior here!"
The other two Mortal Core warriors looked at the flame in the sky with shocked expressions in their eyes. They could clearly feel the powerful soul force within the flame sea, the invisible pressure belonging to someone who was at the Heavenly Core realm.
The men from the Jiang family were stunned. They looked at the flame sea above the house, mixed expressions on their faces.
"That's where Chen'er is staying!"
Jiang Zhen Hai was so shocked that his mouth fell wide open.
"Such a strong amount of soul power… Since when has there been a great warrior hidden in young master's room?"
Zhou Bei Zhen mumbled to himself.
"I was cultivating here, how dare you all come and disturb me, die!"
The powerful voice spoke out once again. This was a voice that resonated a person's soul, and it could disturb one's mind easily.
"Honorable Sir, we are sorry! We didn't know you were here. Please forgive us for disturbing you, Honorable Sir! My name is Lee Shan Yue, chief of the Lee family in Red city. I sincerely invite Honorable Sir to come cultivate near our family! I will definitely provide the best possible conditions for Honorable Sir! Fragrant Sky city is too small for someone like you, it doesn't fit your status."
Lee Shan Yue retracted all of his force and bowed slightly towards the sky. He spoke in a very polite manner, not daring to mess around with a Heavenly Core warrior.
"Get lost!"
The flame sea trembled, the shout originating from within.
The faces on the people from the Lee family all changed. They did not dare make a single sound. Not because they were afraid of the pressure, but because they were afraid that the warrior at the Heavenly Core realm would get angry and kill them.
"I'll give you three breaths of time to get out of here. If you're not out by then, you will be burned to ashes!"
The powerful voice spoke out yet again. The flame sea in the sky roared and started expanding. At the same time, a huge flame sword formed and pointed towards Lee Shan Yue.
Lee Shan Yue was afraid. Although he was at the Late stage Mortal Core realm, he was nowhere near being the match of a Heavenly Core warrior. Furthermore, he had no idea who this person was, but the perfect control over fire and the powerful soul force frightened him.
"Chief, what should we do now?"
Another Mortal Core warrior asked with a pale expression on his face.
"There's a Heavenly Core warrior in the Jiang family. If we make him angry we will all die here… Let's first leave, then we can think of a way to get revenge in the future."
Lee Shan Yue said. Even though he did not want to let them go so easily, he had no other choice under this situation. He doesn't dare to do anything, even if he borrowed someone else's courage. The huge flame sword was pointing at him, and who knew when it will shoot at him and kill him.
"Get lost now!"
The voice struck out like a thunder strike, the pressure was even more intense than before. The huge flame sword was trembling, as if it was about to shoot out and strike him at any time.
Lee Shan Yue was frightened and did not dare to delay anymore. He gazed at Jiang Zhen Hai and turned around towards the entrance, "Let's go."
"Wait!"
The voice spoke again, "Leave the man from the Mu Rong family behind."
Mu Rong Tian's face immediately turned pale upon hearing this. He looked at Lee Shan Yue with the pitiful expression of a beggar. This hidden Heavenly Core warrior had scared him close to death, and even Lee Shan Yue had to retreat because of him. If he was left behind, then only death would await him.
"Mu Rong Tian, you'll stay here."
Lee Shan Yue said casually without even taking a second look at Mu Rong Tian. He signaled all of his men to follow and left with haste. Mu Rong Tian was worth nothing to him, and offending a Heavenly Core warrior because of Mu Rong Tian would just be stupid.
"Chief Lee, what about us?"
Yang Xiao and Chang Shan stood up from the ground and rushed towards the entrance, but they were blocked by Zhou Bei Zhen and the fat old man. The rest of the men moved at the same time and caught Mu Rong Tian.
The incredible soul pressure and flame sea disappeared the moment Lee Shan Yue left together with his men. Everyone from the Mayor's mansion were puzzled, and some of them wiped away the sweat on their faces secretly. Just a few moments ago, all of them were so close to death.
Right now, everyone felt a small amount of relief. Who would have ever thought that there would be a high level warrior hidden somewhere in the Mayor's mansion? And with a powerful voice he had managed to chase Lee Shan Yue away.
"Brother Zhou, arrest them first."
Jiang Zhen Hai told Zhou Bei Zhen before he started walking towards Jiang Chen's house.
Jiang Zhen Hai pushed the door open and saw that the floor tiles had been scattered. He looked at the roof of Jiang Chen's house and saw a big hole in it. It looked like the Heavenly Core warrior was hidden within this room.
Jiang Zhen Hai walked to the front of Jiang Chen's house. The door was tightly closed. He raised his arm and prepared to knock on the door, but he immediately stopped himself. If there really was a Heavenly Core warrior in the room, then it would be rude to just enter.
He turned around and left. He believed that Jiang Chen will give him an explanation when he came out of the room.
Inside the room, Jiang Chen was laying on the bed with a pale expression. He was completely knocked out. There was blood all over his sheets, it looked like he had just vomited it out.
A hidden Heavenly Core warrior? Of course not, in this residence there was only one man, Jiang Chen.
Just now, Jiang Chen used the Great Soul Derivation skill and raised the level of his soul by a huge amount for a short amount of time, reaching the power of a Heavenly Core realm warrior temporarily. It allowed him to scare Lee Shan Yue away, making everyone think that there was a Heavenly Core warrior hidden in his room.
Such a method that violated the heavenly principles and goes against nature's course was something that can only be done by Jiang Chen who was once the greatest saint in the world. Only a miraculous skill like the Great Soul Derivation skill could raise a person's soul level in such a short amount of time.
However, the cost of doing something like this was huge. A human's soul was the absolute weakest part of the human body, but it was also the most important part of a human. The soul was the source of everything, and once it was wounded, it would be very difficult to heal.
Jiang Chen circulated the Great Soul Derivation skill and raised his soul power to match that of a Heavenly Core warrior temporarily, damaging his soul in the process. The pressure of doing this made him lose all his energy, which was why he fainted immediately after Lee Shan Yue left.
The Lee family arrived in an imposing manner, but they fled in a hurry. All the people in Fragrant Sky city were surprised; none of them had expected anything like this. Everyone was preparing for chaos and agony, but in the end, nothing happened.
"The men from the Lee family are gone… Looks like there is a hidden Heavenly Core warrior hidden in the Jiang family."
"Wow, a Heavenly Core warrior! That's an incredibly powerful existence. I never would have thought the Jiang family would be protected by someone like that… No wonder the Lee family had to retreat."
"It's good for them to retreat. As long as the Jiang family is safe, our city will not fall into chaos. I just hope that the Lee family stays away from this town for good."
…
The news spread fast. The scene where the Lee family retreated had been witnessed by a lot of people, and it did not take long for rumors about the hidden Heavenly Core warrior to spread. Furthermore, all of the people who were somewhat close to the Mayor's mansion could feel the pressure.
Jiang Chen had fainted for one hour before waking up. He had a terrible headache, and he felt incredibly dizzy.
Jiang Chen didn't get up immediately. He started circulating the Great Soul Derivation skill, and only after a few minutes did his terrible headache subside enough for him to sit up on the bed. He swallowed a Mortal Restoration Pill and crossed his legs. He then started circulating the Dragon Transformation skill together with the Great Soul Derivation skill, restoring his energy.
Outside of Jiang Chen's house, Jiang Zhen Hai, Zhou Bei Zhen and the rest of the Qi Hai warriors were walking back and forth anxiously. They were waiting for Jiang Chen to come out, and they also wished to meet the Heavenly Core warrior.
They waited for an entire day. The sun had set, and the night had fallen. Jiang Chen had yet to show himself.
Inside the room, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. His hair was floating without any wind blowing. His face was still pale, but his condition was much better than what it was before.
"Indeed, the Dragon Transformation skill is a mighty skill… The qi and blood is powerful, and the ability to heal is strong as well… Unfortunately, the damage on my soul is not going to be restored easily."
Jiang Chen said with a sigh. All of his wounds had been healed, but the damage to his soul was too serious.
Right now, Jiang Chen's soul was in a miserable state. The backlash from utilizing the Great Soul Derivation skill like that was too powerful.
"I won't be able to concoct any pills at the moment because of the state of my soul… I will have to find a way to restore my soul as soon as possible."
Jiang Chen thought to himself. The soul was the most important part of any human, and if the soul was damaged, the consequences would be very serious. When the soul was damaged, you will first lose your ability to concoct pills followed your ability to focus and then your ability to cultivate.
Although Jiang Chen's soul was under continuous healing from the Great Soul Derivation skill, the damage this time was too great. The healing alone was not enough for him to recover. What he currently required was a pill that could nourish his soul and a rare natural item.
But the rare natural item and the soul-recovery pills were incredibly precious. The natural item that could heal the soul was even rarer than the materials for the pills, and it was impossible to find it in this small city.
"Looks like I have to make a trip to Red city. I can search for the pill that could restore my soul there, and I can also pay close attention to the Lee family's movements."
Jiang Chen decided what his next step was going to be. He had to go to Red city. He had killed Lee Chang Hong, and someone like Lee Shan Yue would never give up on this matter. When he goes back he will keep spying on the Jiang family's status because once he discovered that the Heavenly Core warrior does not exist… The Jiang family will then meet their doom.
Jiang Chen was not a passive type of person; he liked to have control of everything.
He stood up, pushed the door open and walked out of his room.
"Dad, Uncle Zhou, why are all of you gathered here?"
Jiang Chen asked with a curious look on his face.
Seeing Jiang Chen come out of his room, everyone's eyes lit up upon seeing him. They had waited for an entire day. Some of these people had embarrassed looks on their faces; they were wrong about Jiang Chen. They thought Jiang Chen was hiding in his own room and didn't want to come out, but in fact, he was accompanying a Heavenly Core warrior.
Young master wasn't bluffing. There was a Heavenly Core warrior behind him. That was why he was so confident and did not show any fear when facing the Lee family.
"Chen'er, since when have there been a Heavenly Core warrior within our family?"
Jiang Zhen Hai couldn't wait any longer, he directly asked.
"Young master, how long have you known the Heavenly Core warrior? None of us knew about this."
Zhou Bei Zhen asked.
"Dad, Uncle Zhou, this Heavenly Core warrior has a weird personality. He wants to be quiet and cultivate in my room. He doesn't want to be disturbed. That's why I didn't tell any of you about this."
Jiang Chen said casually.
"I see."
No one doubted what Jiang Chen just said; a true high ranked warrior had a unique personality.
A true high ranked warrior liked to cultivate in peace, and he doesn't like to be disturbed. Right, it must be like that.
"Chen'er, the great warrior has saved many lives from our family. I would like to meet him and personally thank him for what he has done."
Jiang Zhen Hai said.
"Dad, I told you, he doesn't want to see anyone. Amongst all the people in this city, he is only willing to see me alone. If I bring anyone to see him, I am afraid this great warrior would leave immediately."
Jiang Chen said with his hands wide open.
Hearing that the great warrior would leave immediately, everyone started panicking.
"Alright, I won't go see him. But, Chen'er, you have to show great gratitude to him. If he has any wishes, the just let me know, we will do our best to fulfill his requests."
Jiang Zhen Hai said. The relationship between the Jiang family and the Lee family had gone from neutral to mortal enemies. The Jiang family could only depend on this Heavenly Core warrior, and if he left the city and the Lee family came here again… The Jiang family would be slaughtered.
"Don't worry dad. Also, where's that Mu Rong Tian?"
Jiang Chen's vision turned cold. Mu Rong Tian was the only survivor of the Mu Rong family, and he was a Qi Hai warrior, making him a huge threat. Jiang Chen wanted to get rid of this potential threat. That was the reason why Jiang Chen demanded Lee Shan Yue to leave Mu Rong Tian behind. Jiang Chen refused to let any potential threats get away.
"He was locked up together with those two bastards, Yang Xiao and Chang Shan."
Zhou Bei Zhen said.
"Go, bring them here."
Jiang Chen said.
Zhou Bei Zhen, the fat and skinny old men replied, turned around and left.
Not long after, Zhou Bei Zhen brought Mu Rong Tian and the other two to Jiang Chen. Their faces were full of bloodstains, and their Qi was a mess. Obviously, they received some harsh beatings before this.
"Jiang Chen, you little bastard, you have destroyed the Mu Rong family! I will not let you go, even if I turn into a ghost!"
Mu Rong Tian immediately started cursing upon seeing Jiang Chen.
"Shut up!"
Zhou Bei Zhen said before slapping him.
Jiang Chen's face turned cold, and he pointed out two fingers. A fiery red flame shot out from his fingers like a long sword. He swung it towards Mu Rong Zhan like a bolt of lightning, cutting through Mu Rong Tian's neck instantly. Blood splashed out like a water fountain, and Mu Rong Tian was immediately silenced.
All the men at the scene had seen what Jiang Chen was capable of, but they still couldn't help feeling a shiver down their spines upon seeing him casually killing Mu Rong Tian.
"The winner takes it all; that is the rule."
Jiang Chen said coldly without even taking a second look at Mu Rong Tian's corpse. His vision was now focused on Yang Xiao and Chang Shan.
Plop!
With just a gaze, both men kneeled down onto the ground. Jiang Chen's eyes had completely terrified them.
"Please spare our lives young master, we took things too hard. That's why we made such a stupid decision."
"Please spare our lives, I am willing to serve young master for the rest of my life as a servant."
Both men kept kowtowing to Jiang Chen. For someone like them who immensely feared death, the young master in front of them resembled an angel of death.
"If I had a servant like you then I wouldn't be able to sleep well."
Jiang Chen had a look of disgust on his face. The reason he didn't start pressuring Lee Shan Yue earlier was because he wanted to test the loyalty of the men from the Jiang family. Jiang Chen had used the opportunity given to him by Lee Shan Yue to get rid of the scum in the Jiang family.
Fragrant Sky city was a small city, and for the Jiang family, a Qi Hai warrior was very important. That was why he had to make sure that the Qi Hai warriors were loyal.
"Just kill them, they're so disgusting."
The skinny old men said with a hint of despise on his face.
At this moment, Yang Xiao and Chang Shan felt like crying. Their only wish right now was to go to sleep and never wake up.
Both of them were deeply regretting their decisions. If they knew that there was a hidden Heavenly Core warrior in the Jiang family, then they would rather die than betray the family. Those who decided to die together with the Jiang family were still alive and kicking right in front of them, as for the ones who wanted to live… They were facing death right now.
"Sigh…"
Jiang Zhen Hai let out a sigh. His face was full of pity and pain. These two men had followed him for quite some time, and there were even times when he had treated them like his own brothers.
For a man, the most painful thing was when your own brother betrays you.
Jiang Zhen Hai shook his head without even taking a second to look at the men. He turned around and left. Everyone could see the loneliness and pain from his back.
"Young master, what should we do to them?"
Zhou Bei Zhen said as he looked at Jiang Chen.
"Kill them both."
He spoke these 3 words before turning around and following Jiang Zhen Hai's footsteps. He could hear two screams behind him.
Midnight. The moon was shining bright in the sky, and on top of the roof of the Mayor's mansion stood two men. Both of them stared at the bright moon in the sky without saying a single word.
These men were Jiang Chen and his father. For Jiang Zhen Hai, he had experienced too many things in his life, especially these past two days. He felt like he was dreaming. He never thought he would experience anything like this.
"When someone chooses to betray another person, he has to be ready for the consequences."
Jiang Chen said calmly.
"I know."
Jiang Zhen Hai said with a smile on his face. What happened today had a huge impact on him.
"Dad, I need to leave for a period of time."
Jiang Chen changed the topic.
"Leave here?"
Jiang Zhen Hai was startled. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Chen'er, where are you going?"
"Dad, don't worry, I will just be gone for a short period of time… Don't tell me you're still worried about my abilities?"
Jiang Chen said with a laugh.
"You're right, you have grown up and become an adult. Even I am no match for you. Dad knows that this small city can't keep someone with your abilities for long. You have to go out and experience the world; that is the right thing to do."
Jiang Zhen Hai said with a proud expression. He knew what Jiang Chen was capable of doing, so he wouldn't worry if he wanted to go out and experience life. Ever since Jiang Chen had transformed into a new person, Jiang Zhen Hai had come to understand one fact; there was not a single person in this world who was capable of taking advantage of Jiang Chen.
That same night, Jiang Chen immediately left the Mayor's mansion and started his journey towards Red city.
Jiang Chen changed into a clean white robe, tying his hair into a bun at the top of his head and letting two wisps of hair hang down from the wore a golden silk belt around his waist and held a white folding looked calm and handsome, like a young man from a noble family.
The distance between Fragrant Sky city and Red city was more than a few thousand only were there mountains between them, there was also a city named Crowded Sky Sky city was similar to Fragrant Sky city in size, and it was guarded by some Late stage Qi Hai warriors even though it was still weaker than Red city.
The sun had risen from the east, and the bright sunlight was streaming down all Chen had traveled for one day and two nights before arriving at Crowded Sky he wanted to reach Red city, then he would have to pass through Crowded Sky he choose to avoid the city, he would have to walk through rough terrain filled with would delay his journey, which was why he decided to enter Crowded Sky city and pass directly through it.
Jiang Chen entered Crowded Sky, but he did not bother looking was not interested in a city that was similar to Fragrant Sky wouldn't be able to find anything he needed here anyways.
That was why Jiang Chen kept walking, deciding to pass through Crowded Sky city without making a single stop.
On the other side of Crowded Sky city, near the city entrance, there was a huge were a lot of people in this square, especially in the there were more people gathered here than usual.
"The Mercenary Square!"
Four red words were written on a ten feet tall smooth rock near the edge of the of people were standing around the square along with different kinds of of them were heavily camouflaged, hiding the interior of the carriage.
"Brother, what is the purpose of this Mercenary Square?"
Jiang Chen asked a guy who looked to be in his thirties.A ninth level Qi Jing warrior, the man went topless, displaying his muscular body.
"What the fuck?Do you not know what the Mercenary Square is for?You're joking with me, get lost from here."
The guy waved his hand gesturing for Jiang Chen to get lost as he spoke.
'What just happened?'
Jiang Chen rolled his was the first time he visiting Crowded Sky course he lacked knowledge about the general proceedings of the city.
"You, you, and you, 3 mortal restoration pills , we've enough men, let's go."
Not far from here, an old man wearing luxurious clothing pointed at three got onto a huge horse-drawn carriage, then they left the square.
Those who were selected felt happy and followed the group, whereas those who weren't released soft was a normal situation, so no one felt men who weren't picked scattered around and started looking for other targets.
After asking around for a bit, Jiang Chen finally understood what this was all Mercenary Square was a place for mercenaries to seek jobs and trade items.
Crowded Sky city and Red city were right next to each other, so a lot of trade caravans would pass was the reason why there was a high demand for mercenaries trade caravans would spend their money and hire mercenaries in the Mercenary Square, protecting them from both bandits and monsters on their road to Red city and making sure the goods arrived more precious the goods were, the more they would spend on hiring mercenaries.
Fragrant Sky city and Crowded Sky city were almost the same size, but the location of Crowded Sky city was more favorable than Fragrant Sky Chen was constantly fooling around before he was reborn, which was why he was not knowledgeable about these things.
There were a lot of trade caravans and mercenaries within this trade caravans were picking carefully, looking for strong and capable , there was one trade caravan that seemed very Chen looked at the carriage and discovered that there were only seven people near the seven people were all strong, especially the old man who seemed to be their had a serious look on his face, and his qi was was at the late Qi Hai still couldn't compare with Jiang Zhen Hai or Mu Rong Zhan, but he could still be considered a very strong warrior.
The rest of the men were all Qi Hai warriors, separating them from the other caravans whose mercenaries consisting of only Qi Jing 7 Qi Hai warriors had attracted quite some attention.
"Look, that caravan has been waiting for two days and has yet to begin their journey."
"Shh!Don't mention them, that's a caravan belonging to Red city's Misty Rain you see that old man?He's a late stage Qi Hai warrior, and he is from the Yan family.I wonder what they are carrying this time.I've heard that they won't leave until they have eight Qi Hai then will they begin their journey…They only need one more."
"It's not easy to find a Qi Hai my opinion, they wouldn't be able to find one, even if they waited another day."
Lots of people started discussing this matter.
"Brother, how powerful is the Misty Rain Tower?"
Jiang Chen asked one of the nearby people.
The man rolled his eyes and said, "Little brother, you look like a brilliant man, but so why did you ask such an idiotic question?Everyone knows about the two most powerful families in Red is the Misty Rain Tower, and the other is the Lee family."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing immediately walked towards the caravan belonging to the Misty Rain was a saying that two tigers cannot live on the same mountain, and with them being just as powerful as the Lee family, the relationship between the Lee family and Misty Rain Tower must be the same as the one between the Mu Rong family and the Jiang that Jiang Chen had offended the Lee family, it was wise for him to contact the Misty Rain Tower.
Of course, this was not the most important main purpose was not to deal with the Lee family, but to heal his reason he wanted to go to Red city was to find a precious item and rare pills that could heal his Misty Rain Tower was one of the most powerful families in Red city, he would definitely use them to his advantage.
Seeing the young man walki towards them, a muscular man asked, "Little brother, are you interested in joining us?"
"Yes, I'm interested."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, kid, you look clean and a mercenary is not a game, go back home and drink some more milk."
A middle aged man with a bearded face started teasing Jiang rest of the men started laughing as their eyes, Jiang Chen was only a 15-16 year old brat from some rich family.A young rich brat like him was usually just a useless scumbag.
However, the old man at the late stage of the Qi Hai realm kept staring at Jiang instinct told him that this young kid was calm attitude couldn't be faked, and it wasn't something that was normally seen on a young kid either.
"This is the Misty Rain Tower's do not care about age when hiring mercenaries;we only care about a person's true abilities…Are you in the Qi Hai realm?"
The old man asked.
Bang!
A powerful force was unleashed from Jiang Chen's body, the aura of a Qi Hai rest of the mercenaries stopped laughing and looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of disbelief on their faces.
The rest of the people in the Mercenary Square were attracted as they looked at the Qi Hai warrior, all they could see was a young man wearing white was shocked, especially the men who had been teasing Jiang Chen earlier.
"Fuck, he must be a genius from some big family…How did he reach the Qi Hai realm at his age?"
"I just teased a young genius at the Qi Hai realm…"
…
The old man was startled when he found out that Jiang Chen actually was a Qi Hai eyes immediately lit up, and a smile emerged on his face, "I'm Yan Meng, may I know your name?"
The old man told Jiang Chen his wouldn't care so much if it was just a Qi Hai warrior, but a 15 year old Qi Hai warrior was different.A young man like this would be considered a peerless genius, even in his family.
"Jiang Chen."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Good, little brother Jiang Chen, our destination is Red city's Misty Rain Tower.I will pay you 20 mortal restoration pills, do you accept?"
Yan Meng asked.
"Brother Jiang Chen, hurry up and accept the offer!We will be able to leave once you accept, I've waited for almost two days here."
The man who teased Jiang Chen earlier, told him to go back home, and drink some more milk said.
"I'll accept it."
Of course Jiang Chen would accept didn't care much about those 20 mortal restoration destination was Red city, and he knew nothing about that he followed the Misty Rain Tower caravan, he would be able to get more information regarding Red city.
"Alright, let's go."
Yan Meng said with a deep eight people were all walking around the caravan, and they left the Mercenary Square and Crowded Sky city.
"Old Yan, what are we carrying this time that requires so many Qi Hai warriors?"
Along the way, the man who teased Jiang Chen name was Wang Ting, and he was a direct loved talking.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't know."
An old man who stood next to Yan Meng said as he gazed at Wang of these 8 men, besides Yan Meng, there were also 2 others from the Yan of them was at the mid stage of the Qi Hai realm, and the other was at the early stage of the Qi Hai realm.
Wang Ting didn't get angry even though he was scolded by the old just smiled and looked at Jiang Chen.
"Brother Jiang Chen, you've reached this level at your age…Looking at how you dress, you should be from some good , why did you decide to follow us as a mercenary?"
Wang Ting rest of the men looked at them as well, even Yan Meng was interested in the answer.
"My dad told me that I should experience life while I am still young."
Jiang Chen said with a laugh.
Yan Meng turned his head towards Jiang Chen with a smile on his face, "Your dad is a smart man.A young man like you is like a flower in a matter how strong you are, without any practical experience you will be 's why you need to go outside and gain more right, is Brother Jiang Chen from Crowded Sky city?"
"I'm from Fragrant Sky city, I was about to go the Red city just like you."
Jiang Chen said.
"Fragrant Sky city?I heard something big happened Lee family's young lord was killed by someone there, and yesterday the men from the Lee family passed through Crowded Sky city in a hurry."
Wang Ting said with an interested look on his face.
"I left the city a couple of days ago, so I don't know anything about that."
Jiang Chen said with a like news about what happened in Fragrant Sky city would be spread across all 28 cities soon enough, and his name would be heard by many people.
The men were talking and laughing along the atmosphere was pretty relaxing, and since they were not riding fast, they had just managed to reach the outer area of Red city's territory by were a lot of bandits and thieves along the journey from Crowded Sky city to Red , there were some monsters as well, but all of the men in the caravan were Qi Hai of the bandits or thieves were brave enough to mess with this caravan would be the same as walking into a deathtrap.
However, Jiang Chen had a feeling that things wouldn't be so Meng had spent so much just to hire all these Qi Hai mercenaries, thus there must be a reason for his actions.
