Chapter 319
Jiang Chen said goodbye to the leader and the grand elders and went back to his place.
After all the issues had been settled, the next step was to make sufficient preparations to confront Ning Haotian’s challenge.
Project Dark Soldier was on the right track for this. He wanted to improve himself further before returning to the Fire Field, but soon he heard knocks at his door.
Jiang Chen opened the door and saw it was Nan Gong.
Nan Gong was usually at the Sacred Institute, so he hadn’t been at the Hero Palace, although many things had happened that day.
Jiang Chen could guess what he had come for.
Nan Gong walked into his yard and said, “Jiang Chen, you’ve surprised me so many times.”
Nan Gong eased up since Jiang Chen had promised him. Then something occurred to him, but he struggled with whether to say it or not.
“Nan Gong, is there something else?”
“Didn’t you ask Shi Gandang to pay attention to the news about a Taoist Priest Skywind at the Alien Battlefield?” Nan Gong asked.
“Yes. Does he have any news?”
“The Alien Battlefield has been very chaotic in the past ten years. The communication is very unstable, so much news arrives here with a delay.”
Nan Gong was telling it slowly. When he felt the time was right, he told Jiang Chen the truth. “Taoist Priest Skywind died in a battle three months ago.”
“What?!”
Jiang Chen had thought about such a situation, because they hadn’t heard any news of Taoist Priest Skywind for more than three years, but Jiang Chen was still shocked when he heard the news in person.
He didn’t know much about his father’s master, so he wasn’t emotionally attached to the latter. What he cared about was what this news meant.
“Nan Gong, could you confirm that this information is true? Does anyone else know?” Jiang Chen asked anxiously.
“It’s true. It’s the most up-to-date information the Hero Palace has. As for other groups, they’re using different channels, but they’ll get the information as well in the next few months.”
“Nan Gong, is it possible to block the information? With the Hero Palace’s power?” Jiang Chen said anxiously.
“I guess?”
Nan Gong was surprised. He didn’t give a direct answer, which meant it was possible.
“Three months. That’s the limit to how long we can prevent it from getting out. I can promise you the information won’t be leaked for three months,” said Nan Gong.
It wasn’t important to Jiang Chen that he know how they planned to do it.
“Three months?”
This meant he only had three months left. Otherwise, the Black Dragon City would seriously execute Jiang Qingyu!
I’ll just try my best.
No one could help him. Jiang Chen could only help himself.
“Even if I can’t rescue my father, I’ll die along with the Black Dragon City!”
The Black Dragon City had been dragging their feet for several months on the matter of compensating him 30 million low-grade yuan stones.
By that time, Jiang Chen had invested billions of upper-grade yuan stones to complete Project Dark Soldier. Even if he couldn’t rescue his father, he would make the Black Dragon City pay the price.
