"Jiang Chen, you must be careful of Zhao Qiankun!"
Yulan Shouqing ordered his n to inspect the Celestial Demon Orders, allowing only those who held one to enter the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm. Then, he walked up to Jiang Chen and said in a low voice,
A solemn expression settled on his face.
Wang Yizhou nodded and said gravely, "Although you possess the astonishing ability to fight across tiers, Zhao Qiankun is not to be underestimated."
These two n stood at the very pinnacle of Yulan Mansion’s Martial Artists.
Each was an expert at the True Martial Realm Fifth Stage. The fact that even they were so wary of Zhao Qiankun was definitely not without reason!
Jiang Chen nodded seriously and said, "Seniors, please don’t worry. I know what I’m doing."
The two of them said no more.
Just then, Yulan Tianpeng and Si Xiaosheng also walked over.
Si Xiaosheng looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated gaze and said in a faint tone, "It looks like my position as one of the Three Heroes of Yulan is in jeopardy. Jiang Chen, you’ll have to look out for from now on!"
Although he said this, Si Xiaosheng’s eyes were exceptionally clear, and they held a trace of firm conviction.
Although Jiang Chen’s combat prowess had shocked him, Si Xiaosheng was also a genius and would never admit defeat so easily!
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, not taking him seriously, and joked, "Alright. As long as you pay your protection fee on ti every month, I’ll definitely look out for you!"
"Damn..."
Si Xiaosheng rolled his eyes, but the bond between him and Jiang Chen had grown a little closer.
Yulan Tianpeng, who was beside them, also chuckled before his brow furrowed. "Jiang Chen, with Zhao Qiankun’s vengeful personality, he definitely won’t let you off easy. Once you’re in the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm, you must act with caution..." He paused, then continued, "Zhao Qiankun has a Core Disciple backing him in the Saint Martial Sword Sect. That person is extrely powerful and holds a respected status. It’s said he gave Zhao Qiankun a Secret Treasure. If it’s not necessary, you’d best avoid Zhao Qiankun. Whatever you do, don’t fight him head-on!"
The disciples of the Saint Martial Sword Sect were divided into Ordinary Disciples, Elite Disciples, Core Disciples, True Disciples, and the incomparably revered Saint Disciples!
People like Si Xiaosheng and Yulan Tianpeng, despite having reached the True Martial Realm, were rely at the bottom rung among the Elite Disciples.
And yet Zhao Qiankun had a Core Disciple as his backer.
He really did have the capital to be arrogant!
’I’m not even afraid of the Saint Disciple Lan Haichen, so why would I be afraid of a re Core Disciple?’
Jiang Chen sneered internally but didn’t say this out loud. He nodded at the two of them and said, "Don’t worry, I know what to do!"
Subsequently, Jiang Chen distributed the few entry spots he had snatched to so of the Lui Family’s most talented disciples, making the entire family ecstatic. Grand Elder Lui Chen was so overco with sha that he repeatedly apologized. Jiang Chen waved it off dismissively. "When Qian Luohao and the others were pressuring just now, none of you abandoned . That makes you my friends. And since we’re friends, there’s no need to be so polite!"
A gratified expression appeared on Lui Chen’s old face as he looked at Lui Yifa. "Yifa, to be able to befriend a leader like Jiang Chen is truly a blessing for our Lui Family!"
"Of course! I, Lui Yifa, am a lucky charm!" Lui Yifa puffed out his chest, looking smug.
Little White rolled his eyes and snorted disdainfully. "Lucky charm, my ass. If it weren’t for you, how would my boss have provoked the Qinghuo Gang?"
"..."
Lui Yifa looked embarrassed. "Little White, you can’t just expose like that!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Yulan Shouqing glanced at the entrance to the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm and said, "The entrance to the Ancient Realm is about to close. You should all go in! You can talk more after you get back!"
"Alright!"
Everyone nodded and walked toward the entrance with their Celestial Demon Orders.
At the entrance, Yulan Tianpeng said, "See you in the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm!"
"Good luck!"
Lui Yifa looked at Jiang Chen. "Boss, I’m heading in first!" With that, he plunged into the Light Gate.
Soon, only Jiang Chen and Little White remained. Jiang Chen rubbed Little White’s head. "Little White, I have an important mission for you!"
"Boss, do you want to find Lui Yifa and the others after I enter the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm?" Little White asked, tilting his head, his bright little eyes darting around.
Jiang Chen nodded. "I’m afraid that if Zhao Qiankun can’t find , he’ll go after Afa and the others. So, you need to find them as quickly as possible and bring them to . We can communicate through our Soul Contract, so you can find my location easily!"
"I understand... Boss, you be careful too!" Little White said.
Jiang Chen patted his head. "Go on!"
Little White transford into a streak of white light and shot into the Light Gate. Jiang Chen took a deep breath and followed close behind!
BUZZ—
Just as Jiang Chen entered the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm, the towering Light Gate burst with a BANG and vanished.
Wang Yizhou glanced at Yulan Shouqing beside him, whose sword-like brows were tightly furrowed. "Mansion Master, are you worried about Zhao Qiankun?"
"Yes, and no!"
Yulan Shouqing took a deep breath, his eyes as profound as the stars, glinting with wisdom. He spoke in a low voice, "Zhao Qiankun may be strong, but Jiang Chen is no pushover. With Tianpeng and Little Saint helping him, Zhao Qiankun might not be able to do anything to them. What I’m worried about is Zhao Qinghuo. Fifty years ago, he entered the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm. When he ca out, he once proclaid that from then on, the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm would be the Zhao Family’s back garden."
"I never quite understood what he ant by that. But a few days ago, I received news that the Dragon-Horned Demon Flood Dragon cub—the Demon Beast that Zhao Qinghuo won at an auction from the Money Comrce Association—is not with the Qinghuo Gang."
Deep worry showed in Yulan Shouqing’s eyes.
Wang Yizhou’s expression changed drastically. "The Dragon-Horned Demon Flood Dragon, said to possess a trace of True Dragon Bloodline? Hiss... If what you suspect is true, and Zhao Qinghuo left that thing in the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm... with the endless natural treasures in there, fifty years is more than enough ti for it to grow into a Tier Two dium Demon Beast. Jiang Chen and the others..."
Yulan Shouqing gave a bitter smile. "Let’s hope my guess is wrong!"
Wang Yizhou’s expression was complicated. He gave a long, deep look in the direction where the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm had vanished, his face filled with heavy concern...
......
「Celestial Demon Ancient Realm.」
This was an independent Small World. According to legend, it was ford from the divine kingdom of an Ancient God who fell in antiquity.
Of course, this was only a legend, with no basis in reality!
BUZZ!
A faint tremor passed through the space. The mirror-like void rippled like flowing water, and a slender figure appeared out of thin air.
"So this is the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm?" Jiang Chen’s bright eyes widened as he looked around, his expression full of curiosity.
It was his first ti encountering this type of Small World.
The Celestial Demon Ancient Realm had a sky and an earth, a sun and a moon that cycled, and day that turned into night. But it was completely different from the outside world, wondrous and bizarre.
"Huh?"
Jiang Chen’s gaze swept around, then suddenly focused. He swooped down from the sky. On a nearby cliff face grew a jet-black Lingzhi. "Holy shit! I’ve heard that the Celestial Demon Ancient Realm is full of natural treasures, but this is ridiculous, isn’t it? I just got here and I’ve already found a First-Grade High-Level Lingzhi?"
Spirit dicines were divided into Seven Grades and Twenty-one Levels. A First-grade Low-level Spiritual dicine was worth between several thousand to tens of thousands of silver.
A First-grade Advanced Spiritual dicine was worth at least several hundred thousand silver. The Lingzhi in front of him had to be worth seven or eight hundred thousand!
’I need to find Little White and Afa as soon as possible and et up with them!’
Jiang Chen carefully collected the Lingzhi. After a look around revealed no more Spirit dicines, he activated his Divine Thought. Using the Soul Contract, he sensed Little White’s general location. He slowly opened his eyes and looked southeast. ’Little White is to the southeast? I hope they don’t run into Zhao Qiankun before they et up with !’
