Chapter 777 - Martial Sovereign’s Follower
“Huo Kun, it seems like the development of this affair surpassed our expectations.”
Yang Fan, who was in the Fire Department’s region, felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, and most of his excitement died down. He had just wanted Jiang Chen to suffer bad luck, not the entire Cliff Mountain. If the Cliff Mountain really met with a mishap, his status as the Fire Department head wouldn’t save him.
“We called Young Master Shenji three months ago, and since he only came here today, he must surely have a plan.”
Huo Kun approved of his opinion and said, “Now he’s just using the Cliff Mountain to show off his might and inform people that his master is a Martial Emperor.” All of a sudden, Huo Kun laughed again. It seemed like he wasn’t concerned at all about what was happening.
“Moreover, how is this related to us? If the Cliff Mountain suffers, I’ll just have to go back to the Spirit Clan.”
Yang Fan became slightly irritated upon hearing him. Huo Kun could go back to the Spirit Clan, while he was a human and wouldn’t be able to find a place more suitable for him than the Cliff Mountain.
On the other side, Fengyu Duo realized how serious and grave this matter was. The Cliff Mountain couldn’t protect them, and Young Master Shenji didn’t come to attempt the impossible. He could do almost anything he wanted in the Ten Prefectures because he had a Martial Emperor supporting him.
“I already locked into your aura. You’re now cultivating in a cave in the Seventh Realm, aren’t you?” the Flame Emperor said.
Upon hearing this, the Ping Tian Martial Emperor was dripping with sweat, and his face turned as pale as paper.
“Don’t worry. I can’t harm you now, as this is just a projection of me, and it can’t do any damage,” the Flame Emperor said. “Therefore, you can still attack my followers as you wish.”
“I won’t. I surely wouldn’t do that. Martial Sovereign, please don’t make such jokes,” the Ping Tian Martial Emperor replied hurriedly.
“How should this matter be handled?” the Flame Emperor questioned.
The Ping Tian Martial Emperor didn’t dare to reply rashly, and he looked at Jiang Chen first.
At this time, the crowd realized the change of the situation, and Young Master Shenji, who had been confident in himself, felt bitter inside.
“Young Master Shenji, you assumed that the Fengyu Duo cheated and lost to me on purpose, and you also assumed that I shouldn’t have been capable of defeating them when I was just at the early stage of the Spiritual Venerable Realm.
“Now, it just so happens that I’m in the early stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm, while you’re at the late stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm. Let’s hold a Divine Martial Trial.”
Jiang Chen didn’t want to just teach Young Master Shenji a lesson; he also wanted to help the Fengyu Duo clear their names. Since he only had a few friends, he wouldn’t allow anyone to insult them.
“Well?”
Young Master Shenji didn’t expect the matter to come to this in the end. Even if Jiang Chen asked them to get lost now, the Ping Tian Martial Emperor would still leave obediently.
“Since this is the case…”
Young Master Shenji had only come here to cause trouble for Jiang Chen, thus he didn’t have any objection to this matter.
It was at this moment that the Flame Emperor’s projection fused back with the raging flames, and the flames flew back into the Divine Fire Ring. The Divine Fire Ring’s transformation had started from the moment Jiang Chen advanced into the Celestial Venerable Realm.
At that time, when the snow stacked upon his body melted completely, a powerful heartbeat echoed from him. Jiang Chen had gone through a great transformation and become a Celestial Venerable.
It was at that moment that the Divine Fire Ring on his hand started burning once again, and the Flame Emperor had come from it.
“Not bad. You managed to become a Celestial Venerable quickly.”
