After distributing the spoils of war.
The three continued to ditate and practice, keeping themselves in the best possible condition at all tis.
Jiang Zheng glanced at Liu ng’Er, then at Ye Chen, gritted his teeth, and silently thought to himself: "Jiang Zheng, next ti the Demon Race appears, you must kill a Primordial Wheel Realm one, you can’t be a burden, you can’t take advantage!"
Such a thing, where you gain without much effort... is torture for anyone with pride!
Ti passed, and a day went by.
In the area where the three of them were, demons from the Demon Race appeared sporadically.
However, they were all scattered.
Moreover, every ti they appeared, Ye Chen acted instantly and killed them in a second...
Liu ng’Er would occasionally join the fight.
But Jiang Zheng... really didn’t have any chance to make a move!
Even so, Jiang Zheng received a piece of Tier Three Demon Bone and five pieces of Sea of Qi Realm Demon Bone from Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er, totaling seven hundred points.
Adding the previous six hundred points.
By the end of the day, Jiang Zheng had accumulated thirteen hundred points.
But he... hadn’t done a thing!
He was embarrassed to accept the demon bones distributed by Liu ng’Er, but Liu ng’Er and Ye Chen insisted on giving them to him...
One night passed.
The sky was just beginning to brighten.
Ye Chen, who had been ditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Liu ng’Er quickly sent a spiritual ssage to Ye Chen: "Junior brother, are there many of them? Are they strong?"
Ye Chen, a bit surprised, replied via spiritual power: "Not many, probably three Sea of Qi Realm ones."
Liu ng’Er felt a mix of amusent and helplessness.
Every ti a few demons from the Sea of Qi Realm showed up, her junior brother always got so excited, not giving her and Jiang Zheng a chance...
Liu ng’Er didn’t mind.
She was worried that Jiang Zheng’s self-esteem couldn’t take it.
"Junior brother, leave it to Jiang Zheng. If this continues, I guess he’ll break down..."
Most people would be eager to gain points effortlessly while lying down.
But Jiang Zheng wasn’t like that; every ti they tried to give him demon bones, it was as if they were asking for his life...
Ye Chen stopped sending spiritual ssages and spoke directly, "Senior sister, there are three demons of unknown strength. I’ve been fighting all day and I’m quite exhausted..."
"I’ll handle it!"
Jiang Zheng imdiately stood up excitedly, holding a long knife, rushing forward, taking his position!
At this mont, he didn’t even think about the strength of the incoming demons; he only knew that he absolutely couldn’t be a parasite anymore!
"Whizz whizz whizz!"
Three figures from the Demon Race dashed out in the dim light.
Jiang Zheng let out a loud roar, charging forward, his long knife bursting forth with a dazzling white light, the massive blade beam suddenly slashing at one of the demons.
The power he had held back for an entire day finally found its purpose!
This was a slash for dignity!
Jiang Zheng’s strength, at the peak of the Sea of Qi Realm, was sufficient; even taking on a typically strong Primordial Wheel Realm demon wasn’t a problem. These three Sea of Qi Realm demons were naturally not difficult; in monts, he had cut the three demons into pieces, then returned to Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er with three pieces of Sea of Qi Realm Demon Bone.
"Liu ng’Er, Ye Chen, we’re a team, one piece of demon bone each!"
Even though they were just Sea of Qi Realm demon bones, Jiang Zheng was so excited that he wanted to cry after saying this. He wasn’t a parasite; he could contribute too!
Liu ng’Er and Ye Chen, without any noticeable reaction, accepted the demon bones from Jiang Zheng’s hands.
Noon.
The team of three went through several small-scale battles again.
Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er would symbolically leave so room for Jiang Zheng to make his move.
At this ti.
The scorching sun shone brightly, filtering through the treetops, leaving dappled light spots on the ground.
The three of them casually grabbed sothing to eat.
Suddenly.
The clanging sound of armor colliding rang out.
A squad clad in Defense Army armor appeared in the sight of Ye Chen and the others.
This Defense Army squad also noticed Ye Chen and the others, then walked over. The squad leader stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings Miss Liu, Young Master Ye."
There weren’t many in the Star Spirit System. Liu ng’Er would occasionally co to Demon Suppression Valley, and Ye Chen’s recent fa had been quite widespread, so being recognized was very normal.
As for Jiang Zheng... they didn’t recognize him.
Liu ng’Er nodded slightly, saying nothing.
The squad leader continued, "Miss Liu, Young Master Ye, since yesterday, a group of powerful demons have taken advantage of the chaos to break out from the core battlefield. We are ordered to patrol various areas and remind all those who have co to assist in the battle to be cautious."
"Yes, understood. You’ve all worked hard," Liu ng’Er replied politely.
"This is our duty," said the squad leader, then continued, "Everyone, please be more cautious. I need to inspect other areas and notify others, so I’ll take my leave first."
"Wait."
Jiang Zheng hurriedly shouted, "Are there any other Martial Arts Academy disciples nearby?"
The squad leader replied, "Yes, there are several groups of Martial Arts Academy disciples nearby."
Jiang Zheng nodded and said, "I’ll go with you to other places."
Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er were sowhat surprised.
Jiang Zheng looked at the two and said, "Liu ng’Er, Ye Chen, I know my strength is far behind yours. Thank you for taking care of , but I can’t stay with you any longer because I would only be a burden to you."
This whole day.
Although Jiang Zheng had opportunities to make a move, they were all against low-level demons.
He knew that Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er had purposely left those for him.
Jiang Zheng was grateful to Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er.
But this is a battlefield.
He ca to fight, to contribute to the human race, and to resist the Demon Race!
Moreover, the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. For now, things are under control, but what if it spirals out of control? If Ye Chen and Liu ng’Er can’t handle it, then staying with them wouldn’t help but instead beco a real burden!
So, Jiang Zheng made this decision.
Ye Chen didn’t say much, only, "Take care!"
Jiang Zheng nodded, grinned, and said, "Though I’ve left the team, we’re still a squad!"
"Yes." Liu ng’Er nodded.
Then.
Jiang Zheng left with this group of Defense Army mbers.
Liu ng’Er looked at Ye Chen and smiled, "Junior Brother, if it weren’t for the promise I made with Senior Brother, I probably wouldn’t tolerate you... Every ti there’s a battle, the battlefield becos yours."
Ye Chen knew his senior sister was joking, but he still kept a serious expression, "Senior Sister, if any unexpected situations arise, don’t worry about ."
Liu ng’Er knew what Ye Chen ant.
The battlefield in Demon Suppression Valley is filled with danger for Ye Chen.
There’s ng Changtian’s confidant.
There’s the Celestial Sword Sect.
And Prince Yong, Zhou Chengyun, who commands the Three Thousand Dragon Guards.
"Junior Brother, if anything happens, I’ll hold them off while you retreat," Liu ng’Er said solemnly.
......
At the sa ti.
In the main camp of the Three Thousand Dragon Guards in Demon Suppression Valley.
Prince Yong, Zhou Chengyun, clad in golden armor, sat in the tent as a general reported the confird location of Ye Chen from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.
Zhou Chengyun sneered, "Summon Feng Tianyou from Spirit Ruins Sect."
Monts later.
A man and a woman entered Zhou Chengyun’s command tent.
The man, dressed in a long robe, appeared scholarly and refined.
The woman, in a long yellow dress, had a slim figure and a sowhat delicate face, but her slightly narrow eyes and expression of resentnt gave her a very fierce deanor.
The man was Feng Tianyou from the Spirit Ruins Sect.
The woman was Huang Qinglan from the Star Spirit System of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.
Zhou Chengyun stood up to greet them, "Brother Feng, Miss Huang, please have a seat."
The three sat at the table in the command tent, and Zhou Chengyun spoke, "Ye Chen has entered the Demon Suppression Valley battlefield, and his whereabouts have been found. What do you plan to do?"
Feng Tianyou from Spirit Ruins Sect said, "I await Prince Yong’s orders."
The resentnt on Huang Qinglan’s face intensified, "I want to kill him with my own hands!"
Her hatred for Ye Chen was deep-rooted!
This was no longer about the feud between the Huang Family and the Ye Family in Qingyun City.
Huang Qinglan, as an Earth Seal Spirit Master, should have been esteed and respected, yet... because of Ye Chen, she lost her face and suffered multiple injuries. No matter how strong she beca, these would be indelible humiliations, turning her into a laughingstock.
Zhou Chengyun chuckled, "You are aware.
I brought the Pri Minister’s son, Yan Mingkuan, to Unparalleled County, but Ye Chen killed Yan Mingkuan right before my eyes.
Alas, for the greater good, this had to be suppressed for now.
But no matter what, I must provide the Pri Minister’s Mansion an explanation.
Furthermore.
My sixth brother has sent word from the Capital City, demanding that I must eliminate Ye Chen.
So, you and I now share a common goal."
Feng Tianyou from the Spirit Ruins Sect imdiately said, "To serve Prince Yong and the Sixth Prince, I, Feng Tianyou, will spare no effort!"
