Silence!
Dead silence!
The crowd stared at the crater in the center of the arena and at the now-vanished Ah Guda, shocked and speechless.
After a while, a loud uproar suddenly erupted.
"Instant kill!?"
"That powerful elder was instantly killed by the Head of the Jiang Family!?"
"What kind of power is this? It’s terrifying!"
"Holy shit! I feel like he’s much stronger than the Alliance Hierarch!"
"He’s so aweso! I want to have his babies!"
The crowd exclaid.
A group of female disciples from the Martial Alliance glanced at Jiang Chen with a fiery look in their eyes; if the occasion were different, they might have pounced on him already!
Swoosh!
Jiang Chen’s figure flashed, and he returned to Qiu Boyuan and the others’ side.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you!"
Xiao Chang’an bowed deeply to Jiang Chen once again.
This ti, no one was surprised.
In the Martial Dao World, the strong are revered!
Jiang Chen’s strength had utterly conquered everyone present from the Martial Alliance!
Jiang Chen glanced at Xiao Chang’an and nodded faintly. He took out an Elixir from his pocket and handed it to Dao Wufeng, "Uncle Dao, take this. It should benefit your injuries!"
"Thank you!"
Dao Wufeng’s eyes lit up; he thanked Jiang Chen and swallowed the Elixir without hesitation. He had heard a lot about Jiang Chen from Jiang Minglong, knowing that Jiang Chen was not only a highly skilled healer but also an Alchemist. However, he had promised Jiang Minglong not to divulge these matters!
Xiao Chang’an caught a glimpse of the Elixir and his eyes hardened, feeling shocked once again.
The Martial Alliance had Elixirs too, but theirs were not of high grade. However, just now he could clearly see four shimring rings around the Elixir Jiang Chen had taken out!
Xiao Chang’an’s eyes flickered, and he made up his mind. Even if it might damage the face of the Martial Alliance, he must establish a good relationship with Jiang Chen!
Whoosh!
His figure leaped up, and Xiao Chang’an propelled himself to hover above the crater.
"Ladies and gentlen! After the investigation just now, the matter of Li Yunfeng and his son’s debilitation has been clarified!"
Xiao Chang’an swept his gaze over the Martial Alliance mbers and loudly began to speak, deliberately omitting the matter of Ah Guda.
The Martial Alliance mbers were montarily taken aback. They glanced at Jiang Chen, then at Li Yunfeng, and finally fixed their eyes on Xiao Chang’an!
"Li Yunfeng and his son coveted the beauty of Mr. Jiang’s fiancée, and even attempted to kidnap and violate her. Mr. Jiang arrived in ti and debilitated them. The evidence is irrefutable. I now declare that Li Yunfeng and his son are to be expelled from the Martial Alliance, forever barred from setting foot in it!"
Xiao Chang’an addressed the gathering, announcing the verdict loudly.
"Was it really them who kidnapped the woman of the Head of the Jiang Family?"
"Damn it! Aren’t they just causing trouble for our Martial Alliance?"
"Exactly, good riddance!"
"Agreed! Such trash only tarnishes the reputation of the Martial Alliance!"
The mbers of the Martial Alliance shouted in agreent, their looks towards Li Yunfeng filled with loathing.
Li Yunfeng turned pale as death, a look of despair appeared in his eyes. Without the support of the Martial Alliance, he had no backing whatsoever.
Turning to glance at Li Qiuyue beside him, Li Yunfeng offered a self-deprecating smile. At this mont, Li Qiuyue was looking at him with righteousness, her eyes reflecting the sa loathing as the rest of the people from the Martial Alliance!
"The eting is over, everyone take a rest, and join us in the banquet hall for dinner tonight!" Xiao Chang’an called out once again.
The Martial Alliance mbers nodded, dispersing in groups of twos and threes, while so more spirited mbers of the Martial Alliance slowly left, glancing towards Jiang Chen as they walked.
"Li Yunfeng, from now on, you are no longer a mber of our Martial Alliance! Please leave imdiately!" A Martial Alliance enforcer stepped forward to Li Yunfeng, speaking in a cold voice.
"Let handle this," Li Qiuyue said lightly.
"Yes!" The enforcer was startled, then realizing the relationship between Li Yunfeng and Li Qiuyue, and quickly ca to his senses, giving Li Qiuyue a fist salute before turning away.
"Yunfeng, you shouldn’t have done such a thing!" Li Qiuyue approached Li Yunfeng, rebuking him loudly.
The other council mbers glanced at Li Qiuyue and Li Yunfeng before turning to walk towards the headquarters loft.
"Cousin, are you here to mock ?"
Li Yunfeng looked at Li Qiuyue with lifeless eyes, a sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth, "Shouldn’t I? How many people in the Martial Alliance have done such things, and why are they alright? If there’s soone to bla, it should be that damned Jiang Chen, and that coward Xiao Chang’an!"
"That’s enough, don’t say such things anymore!" Li Qiuyue glanced around and said in a low voice, "Follow , I have a way for you and Xiaolei to continue your training!"
Li Yunfeng was taken aback at her words, a sharp gleam suddenly flashing in his eyes. He stared intently at Li Qiuyue, about to call out.
"Don’t talk! Let’s go!" Li Qiuyue stopped Li Yunfeng from speaking and led him away from the beach.
...
"Uncle Dao, Chairman Qiu, we’ll be taking our leave now!"
Seeing that the issue had been resolved satisfactorily, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and prepared to bid goodbye to Dao Wufeng and Qiu Boyuan.
"Mr. Jiang."
A voice called out, and Xiao Chang’an approached Jiang Chen with anticipation, "As an apology, could I invite Mr. Jiang to stay and join our Martial Alliance gathering?"
Ding-ding-ding!
Before Jiang Chen could reply, the sound of a cellphone ringtone interrupted.
Jiang Chen took out his phone, flashed an apologetic smile at Xiao Chang’an, and then answered the call.
"Hello, Master, it’s Ye Yang!" A voice that was old yet resonant ca through the earpiece.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Chen smiled.
Ye Yang, the Divine Doctor he first t in Jinhai, still regarded him as his master to this day.
Nonetheless, Jiang Chen wouldn’t presu upon this, and he said with a slight smile, "Elder Ye, what is it?"
"I’m in Jincheng right now, at the Jiang Family house. I heard they said you were attending the Martial Alliance conference. Is it over? I have so matters to discuss with you!"
"Oh? You’re at my place? Alright, I’ll be right back!"
Jiang Chen agreed, hung up the phone, and looked up at Xiao Chang’an, "Alliance Hierarch Xiao, apologies, an old friend has co to see , and I won’t be able to join your gathering!"
"This... Alright then, please feel free to visit often, Mr. Jiang!" Xiao Chang’an’s eyes revealed a trace of regret as he said with a forced smile.
Jiang Chen nodded, turned, and began walking towards his car, accompanied by Yan Hu and Li Fenglin.
"Wufeng." Xiao Chang’an glanced at Jiang Chen’s retreating figure and spoke in a low voice, "Make sure to visit the Jiang Family more often."
Dao Wufeng gave Xiao Chang’an a look and said softly, "Alliance Hierarch, you don’t understand him. If you did, you wouldn’t say such things. Jiang Chen is a person who values deeds more than words."
Once he finished speaking, Dao Wufeng walked towards the headquarters loft.
A person who values deeds more than words?
This...
Xiao Chang’an stood frozen in place.
Then, his face slightly reddened before his eyebrows gently furrowed, and he stood there lost in thought!
PS: Hehe, this Chapter is a bonus just for , to prove that I’m a good kid!
Actions speak louder than words.
That’s enough talk for now, back to writing...
