Inside the top-floor room of the tavern.
"Mr. Jiang, did you see anything in the chess ga just now?"
Jin Ming smiled lightly at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "The Black Tiger is fierce, but the defeat of the Giant Dragon was not due to the Black Tiger, but because there are several weak points on the Dragon’s body. Although I am not very sure, I boldly guess that what Grandpa Jin ans should be the current situation faced by the Canghai Trade Alliance, right?"
"The Canghai Trade Alliance was established when the Canglan Great Emperor unified the continent, but its internal managent has always been very loose. Today, it appears as majestic as this Giant Dragon, yet is nothing more than a heap of scattered sand. If not for the few old fellows holding down the fort, it would have collapsed long ago."
Jin Ming nodded lightly: "These hidden dangers cannot be resolved by relying on external assistance alone. That Pang Guang can see this proves that he has already considered the hidden dangers in his heart. In that case, my clan doesn’t mind helping him a bit. If he can really eradicate these hidden dangers, my clan will also have found a powerful ally."
"That’s probably hard to achieve!"
Jiang Chen shook his head lightly.
Although he was not clear about how many internal troubles there are within the Canghai Trade Alliance, he could imagine that it is definitely not less than when he and Dragon Saint and others ford the Martial Alliance. At that ti, he could rely on the martial strength of Dragon Saint and others to suppress those who had different thoughts, but it seems that the high-level mbers of the Canghai Trade Alliance are not united. Under such circumstances, wanting to turn the Canghai Trade Alliance into a cohesive whole is quite difficult.
"Haha! I didn’t expect that kid to reach the level of integration within a few years either; this old man has a few more years left and can afford to wait!"
Jin Ming said with a light laugh.
Jiang Chen smiled lightly and stopped thinking about the problem, leaving it to Pang Guang to worry about.
"Grandpa Jin, Old Jin, I’ve troubled you for the past few days. I should be leaving now, as I have not completed the evaluation task given to by the academy. I must continue to complete the task!"
Jiang Chen cupped his fists towards the two, asking to take his leave.
"Go ahead, if you encounter danger, just explore the Ancient Jade with your Divine Sense and cultivate well. I look forward to seeing you again in a year!"
Jin Ming smiled and waved his hand.
Jiang Chen bowed again to the two and left the room with Jian Wuheng.
...
Qingyang Prefecture, Sky-Cleaving City.
After Jiang Chen and Jian Wuheng left the Forsaken Tavern, they parted ways, each to perform their personal tasks.
After three days of travel, Jiang Chen arrived at this Sky-Cleaving City.
Jiang Chen’s personal task was quite strange. Others’ tasks were either to kill enemies or escort sothing, while Jiang Chen’s personal task was to find soone.
To find a young man nad Fan Buzhuo in the entire Sky-Cleaving City.
The requirents of this task were also strange. There was no level requirent, but the person executing the task had to say, ’How many tis already? If you don’t co back this ti, then don’t co back ever!’ upon finding the task target, and yet, the reward for completing this task was the highest among all personal tasks, with twenty thousand points!
The reason Jiang Chen chose this task was not because the reward was the highest, but because Sky-Cleaving City was the final destination of the team task accepted by Yun Tao.
Among the twenty team tasks, there were four tasks for each realm, with Yun Tao’s task having the most points, followed by the task opposing them.
When he browsed the tasks initially, he already planned to kill both Zhang Tian and Zhang Lin in the outskirts of this Sky-Cleaving City.
Jiang Chen imagined that since Qing Hai Academy always targets his academy, Zhang Tian and his brother would certainly choose a task opposing Yun Tao’s, although he didn’t expect them to want to team up with Yun Tao at the ti; the result ended up as Jiang Chen thought it would.
Sky-Cleaving City, third floor of the Sky-Cleaving Tavern.
Jiang Chen sat by the window, carefully reading the task introduction on the identity token.
Task target, find Fan Buzhuo.
Target introduction, Fan Buzhuo, age 28, unruly by nature, usually behaves rowdily and without proper decorum, but becos extrely reliable in dealing with matters. His biggest hobby is joining in the fun.
Task introduction, it is rumored that the Sky-Cleaving Spear, the weapon of the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, will erge in the Sky-Cleaving City; Fan Buzhuo’s weapon is a long spear, and his combat skills are spear techniques, and the appearance of the Sky-Cleaving Spear is certain to make Sky-Cleaving City extrely lively. The place where Fan Buzhuo disappeared is not far from Sky-Cleaving City, therefore it is inferred that he is sure to appear at the Canghai Trade Alliance branch’s auction house in Sky-Cleaving City.
"Looking at this target introduction, why does it feel like there’s a tone of teasing and admiration? The tasks are collected by the academy, with many specially issued for this evaluation. Could this task also be issued by the academy?"
Jiang Chen said with a light laugh: "Then Fan Buzhuo should be a student of the academy, right? Finding him and saying ’How many tis already? If you don’t co back this ti, then don’t co back ever!’ Does Fan Buzhuo frequently go missing?"
Smiling wryly and shaking his head, Jiang Chen’s attention settled on the introduction of the Sky-Cleaving Spear.
"Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, being able to bear the na of Sky-Cleaving City, it seems the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor was once the number one powerhouse of this Sky-Cleaving City!"
Jiang Chen muttered softly to himself.
"Hey, have you heard? The fad weapon, the Sky-Cleaving Spear of the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor, will appear at the auction at the Canghai Trade Alliance branch tomorrow!"
"Whoa, really? Didn’t the senior Sky-Cleaving War Emperor disappear for a hundred years after becoming a saint? How could his Sky-Cleaving Spear suddenly appear? Could it be that the senior Sky-Cleaving War Emperor..."
"Pei pei pei, what nonsense are you talking about? The senior Sky-Cleaving War Emperor made a na in the universe, he once perford the Sky-Cleaving Battle Technique at the peak of the Integration Path to slay a semi-saint powerhouse causing chaos in our Sky-Cleaving City, how could he possibly have fallen?"
"It’s likely that the senior Sky-Cleaving War Emperor felt that he no longer needed that Spirit Treasure Divine Weapon, and sought to find a fated person for it!"
"I heard that whoever wins the bid for the Sky-Cleaving Spear has a chance to receive the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor’s legacy!"
"Is that true?"
Amid a swirl of discussions, Jiang Chen was montarily stunned, a hint of admiration showing in his eyes.
The Sky-Cleaving War Emperor could kill a semi-saint powerhouse at the Integration Realm Peak; such battle power is indeed formidable!
Although a semi-saint hasn’t truly taken that step, they still have so saintly insight. ’Ants below the saint,’ is not said just for show.
Jiang Chen himself is good at crossing tiers in battles, but he wouldn’t dare claim to kill a semi-saint when he reaches the Integration Realm Peak, because going from the Integration to a saint is a qualitative transmutation, larger than the gap from the Unification Realm to the Divine Infant Realm!
As for the idea that acquiring the Sky-Cleaving Spear can grant the Sky-Cleaving War Emperor’s legacy, Jiang Chen dismissed it.
This kind of news was likely spread by the Canghai Trade Association to elevate the reputation of the Sky-Cleaving Spear, attracting more bidders to participate in the auction.
This thod was already common when he was on Yuan Star.
