Chapter 475 - Next Target: Venerable!
A pillar of light appeared in the sky. Before it, the defense formation of the Sacred City didn’t work at all. When it was only about 350 feet away from the highest building, it started to spread vertically, extending into a giant, round, mirrored surface.
Before the aristocratic families and the Hero Palace sent their men there, people kept walking out of the mirror surface.
The people in the city thought they were hallucinating that they were being invaded by an army from an alien world. They felt lucky that the people didn’t seem hostile, and most importantly, they only had one Venerable among them.
When someone finally recognized them as the people who had been trapped in the small world, the whole Sacred City went into an uproar.
Around ten Venerables arrived. They surrounded the ones who had walked out of the portal.
The disciples of the Hero Palace weren’t nervous at all. Instead, they extended their arms, shouting, “We’re back! We’re back!”
Some of them from the Sacred City went directly up to the Venerables from their families, telling them what had happened.
Then when they suddenly recalled how those who had left had treated him, they thought it might have been possible.
“Miss Yin Shuang, I’m headed for the Hero Palace,” Jiang Chen said calmly, not eager to prove anything.
The Hero Palace’s grand elders were speaking to him through holy awareness and had told him to go back to the Hero Palace first to give them more details.
“But… okay.” Glancing from him to the middle-aged woman, she let out a sigh.
Jiang Chen and Li Nanxing flew back to the Hero Palace with the other disciples of the Hero Palace, leaving behind a curious crowd that was busy discussing the situation.
As soon as he arrived at the Hero Palace, a group of grand elders who got along well with him, including Nan Gong, called him over.
Jiang Chen didn’t hide anything from them. He told them what had happened in the eight days since they’d found out there was no exit.
“Jiang Chen, you almost killed all of the top five on the Slay Demon List and made a clean sweep of the disciples of the Evil Cloud Palace. That’s a huge contribution. The Hero Palace will give you a handsome reward.”
These grand elders had a fear. Although Jiang Chen had told the story in an extremely calm tone, they could read between the lines how dangerous it had been there.
Fortunately, he had saved the day, so they rained praises on him. They had promised they would reward him and told him to rest before the Hero Palace decided what his prize would be.
Jiang Chen nodded and walked out of the hall. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw Li Nanxing standing there. They brushed by each other as the latter went into the hall.
“They probably just want to confirm that what I told you was true.”
He didn’t think it was a big deal. It would be strange if the Hero Palace had believed him without investigating.
Venerable!
Gazing at Li Nanxing’s receding figure, he thought to himself, My next target!
He started to think about his practice. He was going back to the Gaos to practice in seclusion for a while.
During his trip to the small world, Jiang Chen had made more gains than anyone else and received many spiritual storing wares. These resources were enough for him to break through to Cloud Nine.
