Chapter 984 - The Ancient Ape
Jiang Chen was slightly nervous after learning about this. He was worried his inheritance would be stolen. Fortunately, the Ancient Race had not disclosed the secret of the Title Palace completely. They only knew a general direction. That was why the city was packed with so many people. They were all here to try their luck.
The resourceful ones were making an effort to network with the Ancients because they were the ones with first-hand information. They dug out the stele that was outside the Title Palace to have it for their own use. The people of the Nine Territories and the Ten Prefectures protested, but there was not much they could do to stop the Ancient Race.
I must beat them to it. Jiang Chen thought to himself, but he realized it would be tricky. Would he create a disturbance while opening the inheritance so that his whereabouts would be exposed, and people would come to fight for his inheritance?
He felt as if the inheritance of his title was directing a forbidden land to him. He was going to investigate how strong the Ancients in the city were before making any further plans. All of a sudden, he heard noises coming from the street. He was in a teahouse, which was perfect for collecting information. At this moment, the clients of the teahouse all ran toward the windows to see what was happening.
“Whoever calls us monsters will end up the same as him.” Looking out the door, Jiang Chen heard a loud, manly voice and saw a team whose average height was 6’6″ standing on the street. They were so hairy that all Jiang Chen could think of was apes. However, their faces had human features.
A man was lying on the ground, screaming in pain. His companions were staring but staying at a distance. They did not dare approach, because they did not want to end up the same as him.
The Ancient Ape! Jiang Chen realized it was easy to mistake this race for monsters. In fact, they were the Ancient Race. More than that, they were held in high regard among Ancients. It was for this reason that they could not put up with being called monsters.
“Elder Brother Tian.” The Ancient Ape had been about to fly into a rage, but he calmed down as soon as he saw who it was who had caught his stick. It was a different Ancient Ape who was standing between Jiang Chen and himself. He was also very hairy. The only thing different was that each of his hairs seemed to be intelligent, as if it were breathing, inhaling and exhaling, a golden light.
Compared to other Ancient Apes, this one was incredibly handsome.
