Chapter 412 - Celestial Dragon Gate
Halfway there, Leng Chuixue looked back and said, “You seem to know a lot about the secret treasure. Why is that?”
“You think you’re in a position where you can ask me a question?”
One woman came to Jiang Chen’s mind as he was saying this.
The Hero Palace had bothered to take Crimson Moon back to the Dragon Field from the Natural Law School. Not long after that, the secret treasure had been opened. It was hard not to connect the two things.
With his insight, he could imagine people were planning something big, but neither his strength nor his identity allowed him to intervene, so he had to enhance his strength as soon as possible.
“There’s another thing I want to ask you.” Leng Chuixue still wasn’t so sensible. Jiang Chen gave him an angry stare, and he said, “Am I stronger than Liu Shayang?”
Jiang Chen found it funny. He said, “You’re still alive. Of course you’re stronger.”
Leng Chuixue flicked his sleeves, as if he was ready to risk everything, and said, “Whatever you want to know, just ask.”
“Everything. Everything about the secret treasure,” said Jiang Chen.
Leng Chuixue thought for a while about how to say it. Then he said, “When the Evil Cloud Palace called on Reaching Heaven States to find the treasure, they assigned us different tasks according strength.
“Our main task is to collect the crystal of fire dragon hidden in different places in the secret treasure. They were important strategic resources for the Dragon Dynasty.
“Other treasures placed with the crystal of fire dragon will be the incentive for those who find them.
“We were given a key so that even without knowing the direction or having a map, we would be taken there automatically.”
Jiang Chen extended his hand as soon as he heard that.
Leng Chuixue didn’t hesitate to give Jiang Chen a plain-looking key.
“As number seven on the Slay Demon List, you should have been given more keys,” Jiang Chen said while checking the key.
“I am number seven of the Slay Demon List, but that doesn’t mean I’m also ranked seventh in the young generation of the Evil Cloud Palace. Who knows what kind of standard the Hero Palace is using to rank us?”
“Does that mean stronger disciples of the Evil Cloud Palace know more secrets?”
Leng Chuixue knew what he was suggesting. He smiled mysteriously and said, “Exactly. And Su Xing knows the biggest secret about the secret treasure. You should go to him.”
“I will,” said Jiang Chen.
“You will. That’s easy to say.” Of course, Leng Chuixue didn’t believe him, and he was audacious enough that he still had the nerve to scorn Jiang Chen under such circumstances.
Jiang Chen raised the Red Cloud Sword and pointed it at his back. He said, “Walk ahead. If you play any little tricks, I’ll pierce you through the heart.”
Although Leng Chuixue was reluctant, he had to obey.
The passage behind the gate was very dark. The holy awareness Jiang Chen had released was absorbed by the stone walls.
Leng Chuixue wanted to tell him it wasn’t dangerous there according to the Evil Cloud Palace, but he didn’t bother, because no matter what Leng Chuixue said, Jiang Chen wouldn’t believe him.
So he could do nothing but keep walking.
