Chapter 740 - A Story of Snowfield
Unfortunately, as a Spiritual Venerable in the late stage, he was sent flying after only a few punches. Fist prints were all over the armor on him.
However, after he had been sent flying, another seven or eight black-armored guards dashed forward immediately.
After they had been sent flying, another ten soldiers appeared.
It was worse than an attrition battle, since these people were almost endless. It didn’t matter to them any more whether they could get Jiang Chen by punches or kicks. To get him, that was their only goal. As a result, they bumped against him directly.
There was once a time when hundreds of people jumped onto Jiang Chen together, weighing him down like a hill.
However, it only lasted for less than two seconds. A shining white light broke out from the soldiers. Then they were bounced off Jiang Chen by the energy surged from him.
Jiang Chen was armed with thunders. He looked like a divinity coming down to earth.
Nobody answered, because in their opinion, the root cause of all these problems lied in the Jiangs’ chieftain.
They wondered why he had wanted to take a blood oath. But sure, they had this doubt not because they would rather declare war on the Elixir Association.
They just didn’t think it wise to ask for a Divine Martial Trial for the sake of a five elements disciple when they were not in the right.
“When you think yourselves wise in hindsight, think about the situation back then.” As a shrewd man, the Jiangs’ chieftain detected what was on these people’s mind.
His subordinates involuntarily nodded after thinking.
Back then, who could anticipate that Young Master Wind was so threatening? As far as they knew, he was only a young Heaven Alchemist.
They didn’t mean to kill Young Master Wind in the Divine Martial Trial. They only wanted to bring this Heaven Alchemist, the future Immortal Alchemist, under control through the result of the Divine Martial Trial.
The Jiangs’ chieftain even had thought about the request he was going to make. He would ask Young Master Wind to refine an immortal elixir for the Jiangs over a limited period of time!
However, by then, not only they didn’t get the immortal elixir, but also something severe would probably happen soon.
“You can be dismissed. Bring Jiang Zhe here.”
Seeing these people unable to propose a solution, the Jiangs’ chieftain was very disappointed.
Jiang Zhe walked in after those people had left. He didn’t speak. He was just looking at his father in silence.
“Are you still mad at me?”
The Jiangs’ chieftain said, “If we can keep a Heaven Alchemist under control and make him refine an immortal elixir for us, it will certainly be yours.”
Jiang Zhe’s manner relaxed a little, but he wasn’t completely convinced yet.
“You are the next chieftain. You have to be far-sighted. Do you still remember the story of snowfield I told you?”
“In a range of snow mountains, many people who can’t practice have to work in the mountains for a long time. Food becomes a big problem for them. So, they have the habit to leave some of their food along the way.”
Jiang Zhe recalled the story by then. He said, “Yeah, I remember. Father you said something like this. Some people and some things are like the food along the way. They might not be the most in need, but you will need them sooner or later.”
Then, he looked he was pondering on something. He was thinking in what way he should think as a qualified chieftain.
The Jiangs’ chieftain showed an approving expression. His son would make a good leader. He was sure about that.
“That being said, I think that Young Master Wind is only a worthless gravel,” Jiang Zhe said.
The Jiangs’ chieftain involuntarily showed a helpless expression. Aiming too high and too proud, this was a common problem among young people.
“You are wrong. Young Master Wind is a nutrient meal.”
The Jiangs’ chieftain said, “What if I tell you, even Fang Wentian is thinking about killing Young Master Wind in order to remove a potential risk? Are you still unhappy with my decision?”
“What do you mean?” Jiang Zhe was confused. He didn’t understand what his father was trying to say.
