Chapter 339
Below his dashing eyebrows, Jiang Chen’s eyes moved towards the grand elder that had spoken.
He obviously hadn’t thought it through. Even he himself looked as shocked as the others by what he had said.
They had been threatening to kill Jiang Chen, but in an instant, they wanted Jiang Chen to be their leader. Anyone would need time to adapt to such a big change.
When they finally came to themselves, they thought it made sense.
Ning Haotian had been disabled. If they lost Jiang Chen as well, the Natural Law School would have no excellent disciples left except for Li Xue’er.
The Three Clarities of Natural Law were exchanging looks.
“You want me to be the next leader? Sounds good. So elders, please come to the Black Dragon City with me,” Jiang Chen suddenly said.
With the speed of the ship, they would arrive in a minute, but on their way, someone came up to him. It was Su Xiuyi, the leader of the Natural Law School.
“Apprentice brother.”
Jiang Chen flew into the air to meet him. He stopped calling him leader, since he wasn’t a disciple of the Natural Law School anymore.
Su Xiuyi bowed his head and asked, “You quit the Natural Law School because you didn’t want to put the Natural Law School in a difficult situation, didn’t you?”
Jiang Chen smiled in answer.
“Those unambitious old dogs are satisfied with the current situation. They just want to maintain the current peace. If we attack the Black Dragon City together, even if the dynasty declares war on us, what will it matter?” Su Xiuyi shook his head helplessly.
“Apprentice brother—”
“So six months is still too short. You haven’t taken over the group I started, have you?” Su Xiuyi interrupted him.
Jiang Chen nodded. He hadn’t even walked out of the Sacred City. He said, “There are too many powerful people in the Dragon Field. Six months is too short.”
If it was in the Fire Field, he would have been able to cause a big commotion with the achievements he had made in the past six months.
But in the Dragon Field, he was only a disciple of the Hero Palace who had gained some fame. He wasn’t even as well-known as Master Chu Yun.
“But you brought this thing back. Amazing.”
Su Xiuyi pointed at the warship as he admired it. Then he took out a book.
“You’ll find all kinds of information about the Black Dragon City in this book, including their potential power, their trump cards, and their ace in the hole. You’ll find it helpful.”
“Thank you, apprentice brother!”
Jiang Chen was overjoyed. With this book, the chances of winning would be greatly enhanced. It was extremely useful.
“I’ll settle the aid from the dynasty for you,” said Su Xiuyi.
“Apprentice brother, you’ve helped a lot.”
Jiang Chen knew what “settling” could cost him, so he hurried to shake his head. Su Xiuyi was sacrificing a lot.
“If I don’t help you, even if you get your father out of prison, you won’t be able to leave the Black Dragon City alive. Don’t underestimate the Xia Dynasty,” said Su Xiuyi.
“Apprentice brother, you’re underestimating my warship. By the way, we don’t have to settle anything in terms of the dynasty. Now that Ning Haotian has been settled, maybe the dynasty won’t meddle any further. And…”
Jiang Chen told Su Xiuyi in a low voice how Crimson Moon was on his ship and how he could threaten the dynasty with her.
“So, your preparation was more thorough than I thought. Okay, I’ll stay in the dark and observe. If anything goes wrong, I’ll lend you a hand,” said Su Xiuyi.
“Apprentice brother, it’s my biggest advantage to know you joined the Natural Law School.” Jiang Chen was quite moved. A friend in need was a friend indeed, not to mention at such a crucial moment.
Su Xiuyi smiled gently and said, “Don’t get so emotional before battle. It isn’t a good sign.”
Jiang Chen smiled, then went back to the warship and kept advancing to the Black Dragon City.
