Xiao Nuo needed to always keep an eye on the progress of her training. She couldn’t slow down.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me,” said Xiao Nuo.
This was why she hadn’t intended to tell Jiang Chen. She knew he would worry about her too much.
“What if you’re hurt? What if you get caught up in the war or calamity that’s coming, or you get poisoned or something? If something were to happen to you, the chance of you dying would be 100 times higher than for others,” said Jiang Chen.
Xiao Nuo raised her head that had been resting on his shoulder and looked at his eyes. It was rare that she didn’t talk back, but, instead, in a girly manner, she said gently, “To have been able to see you again, I am already satisfied.”
“I’m not satisfied! I wanted you to be my wife. You were the person I loved the most in my life.”
“I saved the world. How could I not save you?”
Jiang Chen was becoming very agitated. Xiao Nuo’s indifference to her fate and her health made him angry, but he couldn’t bear to blame her.
“You are seldom so domineering.” Xiao Ruo’s eyes were gleaming with tears. She was dazed as she stared at Jiang Chen, who was not being like his usual polite self.
“Be serious!” Jiang Chen said in an impolite tone. He carried her to the long table and said, “Tell me everything from the beginning to the end.”
“Do you think you can really find a way?”
The reason why Xiao Nuo hadn’t wanted to tell Jiang Chen was because she was worried that it might be a burden to him.
Now, under Jiang Chen’s burning gaze, Xiao Nuo started to narrate.
“I am no different from the dead. No matter how delicious a cuisine is, it becomes tasteless in my mouth. I can hardly be interested in anything. My previous hobbies have all drifted away from me.
“Only seeing you makes me feel like a tremendous light has gone on in the world.”
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Chen felt extreme heartache. This condition had lasted for four or five years. And he had been so selfish he hadn’t even realized it.
“I should have realized this earlier,” Jiang Chen said, as he felt extreme regret.
Xiao Nuo was smiling happily, seeing Jiang Chen behaving like this. It made her feel very blissful. It was as if she didn’t realize that she was the person that they were talking about.
“Luckily, I have a solution.”
Jiang Chen took out the God Crystal and said in a serious tone, “The Marching Dragon have eternal youth, which is similar to immortality. I will retrieve his extraordinary power and inject it into your body. No matter how tricky your problem is, it can definitely be solved.”
“You make it sound like the Marching Dragon is completely useless.” Xiao Nuo chuckled.
“I will go kill him now.”
As he was speaking, Jiang Chen was getting ready to leave.
Xiao Nuo was shocked when she saw that Jiang Chen was being serious about killing the Marching Dragon. She quickly stopped Jiang Chen.
“What’s wrong with you?” Xiao Nuo asked.
“I’m going to kill the Marching Dragon. It’s time for him to pay his debt,” said Jiang Chen seriously.
“How are you going to do that?”
“Just kill him like that.” Jiang Chen gestured the action of lifting his hand and slashing his sword downward.
“Do I need to remind you about the Marching Dragon’s ability?”
“One of the strongest among the Extraordinary Supreme Venerables…” said Jiang Chen.
“Then you are still going?”
“I have confidence that I can kill him.”
“Tell me where you get that confidence.”
“I can’t say.”
After this conversation, Xiao Nuo forbid him from going and tried to stop him.
“You can’t stop me.” As he was speaking, Jiang Chen unleashed his Great Method of Void and left the residential palace.
“B*stard!” Xiao Nuo came out of the residential palace hastily and realized that Jiang Chen had already left.
“Leader the Venerable!” The three Elders quickly came up to pay their respects as they seldom saw Xiao Nuo coming out.
“Send someone to stop Jiang Chen. Ugh, forget it, even I can’t stop him,” Xiao Nuo said helplessly.
“Leader the Venerable, where did Jiang Chen go?” Grand Elder Tian Ya asked curiously.
“He went to the Sovereign Spirit Palace.”
“Ah?”
The three grand Elders were astonished. The Sovereign Spirit Palace? Jiang Chen’s greatest enemies were all there.
“Why did he go there?” asked Baili Zhan.
“To kill the Marching Dragon.”
Now, the grand Elders were completely dumbfounded.
“There’s a second Marching Dragon in the Sovereign Spirit Palace? Is it still that horrible Marching Dragon? Oh god, what is Jiang Chen thinking?” The three grand Elders became extremely anxious, just like Xiao Nuo.
…..
At Tianling Mountain, Xiao Hongxue was sitting alone in his secret room, deep in thought.
The black-robed man had disappeared. Xiao Hongxue was now thinking about the black-robed man’s plan.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Xiao Hongxue realized the changing condition of the Vulcan Ring.
“This bastard? Does he want to die?”
Through the Vulcan Ring, Xiao Hongxue discovered that Jiang Chen was rapidly moving through the middle prefecture. It was obvious that he was using a teleportation formation. He was moving 1,000 miles a minute.
The most important thing that Xiao Hongxue had realized was that he was coming toward the area of the Sovereign Spirit Palace.
Tianling Mountain was located near the Sovereign Spirit Palace. Therefore, Xiao Hongxue naturally thought that Jiang Chen was coming for him.
“What?”
After putting on his best armor, he realized that something wasn’t right. “Why is this brat heading to the Soul Hall?”
Soul Hall, which was the core of the Sovereign Spirit Palace, was also where his master resided.
Xiao Hongxue knew there was a grudge between his master and Jiang Chen. Only one of them could survive if they ever went at it.
“Is this guy crazy?”
Xiao Hongxue was very clear about how strong the Marching Dragon was.
If Xiao Hongxue had a person that he feared most, his master would be at the top of his list.
From his perspective, if Jiang Chen wasn’t even at his level, why did he have the nerve to still go to look for his master?
“Did he find out about my contact with the blood race, and he’s gone to tell my master about it? It can’t be. Wouldn’t he be supposed to go to the Sacred Institute?”
Ever since the news of him infiltrating easily had spread, the Sacred Institute had tried to denounce him.
Now, Xiao Hongxue wasn’t the only one who realized that Jiang Chen was approaching. The Scared Institute’s spy also realized that Jiang Chen was heading toward the Soul Hall.
“What is he trying to do?”
Ye Qiu, who’d received the news, was very anxious. Even though he didn’t know about the grudge between Jiang Chen and the Marching Dragon, the Sovereign Spirit Palace was not a place that welcomed Jiang Chen.
“Quickly inform the Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster and Jian Yi. Have them rush over to prevent accidents,” Ye Qiu ordered.
The news had spread among all the forces.
One was Jiang Chen; the other was the Sovereign Spirit Palace. Both presences couldn’t be ignored.
The Martial Divinity Palace’s vice lord, Jian Jingfeng, was also speculating. He’d fought by Jiang Chen’s side before. His son, Jian Wuji, had busted through the Demon city with Jiang Chen.
“What he did was equivalent to saving my son. If something were to happen, I must take action,” Jian Jingfeng thought.
Jiang Chen was no longer the young man who everyone wanted to beat up. Perhaps externally no one was close to him. However, a number of people remembered his kindnesses.
During the afternoon, Jiang Chen had rushed from the celestial palace to the Soul Hall, which was equivalent to crossing the whole middle prefecture.
Soul Hall was also a major city.
The city under the Soul Hall was the capital of the ten largest mega-cities, which
was at the heart of the middle prefecture, which was also the leading center of the current world.
Warriors from all races and ranks could be seen stopping here, inquiring about information and trading business.
Compared to the city under Soul Hall, Tianqi City and Wind Cloud City were nothing.
At that exact moment,on all the streets and in all the taverns everyone was discussing the news of Jiang Chen becoming an Extraordinary Supreme Venerable.
“This Jiang Chen has really bounced. Last time I caught sight of him, the eight generals from my Sovereign Spirit Palace were chasing after him.”
“Haven’t seen him till now. He didn’t even dare to step into Soul Hall. Obviously, he is afraid of the Sovereign Spirit Palace.”
“He went from mid-level Martial Arts Saint to Extraordinary Supreme Venerable. What an insult to the Supreme Venerable Stone. I don’t even know what method he used.”
The majority of the people had bad opinions about Jiang Chen.
“Marching Dragon! Come out!”
While these guys were talking about how the Extraordinary Supreme Venerable Jiang Chen was too full of himself, a thunderous, angry voice shouted. The whole city was shocked.
