Chapter 203
She had to be a big shot if even Princess Fragrance knew her.
The cracked floor of the ring had been repaired during Jiang Chen’s break. The whole audience exclaimed when she went into the ring.
It was first and foremost because of her identity. It was also because they didn’t think the masked man had any luck at all. He kept running into more and more powerful rivals. It was too bad.
“Chu Luo, do you still have confidence in him?” Meng Feifei asked curiously.
Chu Luo gazed at the figure in red in the ring, her lips pressed into a thin line. “Naturally.”
Meng Feifei nodded. She thought Chu Luo’s reaction made sense.
“She might force apprentice brother to expose his identity.”
“Oh, holy pulse?”
On the palace wall, the old man in the gray robe from the Sacred Institute seemed very interested.
“Yeah. There’s a place called the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the dynasty. A youngster from there was found to have a holy pulse during the Pulse Invigorating Ceremony,” the emperor said calmly. Although he didn’t show any emotion, he was actually shocked.
“And it was robbed by your daughter’s fiancée?” the old man asked again.
The emperor of the Xia Dynasty didn’t answer right away. He was wondering whether it was only curiosity or reproach in his tone.
“The Venerable, Ning Haotian and Crimson Moon’s marriage was decided long before the holy pulse affair. Although the holy pulse was, indeed, robbed, its previous owner, Jiang Chen, had the birth name Ning Chen. He’s a clansman of Ning Haotian. It’s their internal conflict, inappropriate for the dynasty to meddle in,” the emperor said.
“Where is that Jiang Chen now?”
“It’s been said he died in the Realm of Beasts.”
The emperor told the old man about the Realm of Beasts. He claimed people trapped there only had a slim chance of survival, and it was impossible for people in the Mental Wander State to walk out alive.
“Pity.” The old man only said one word.
The emperor was relieved. He laid his eyes on the ring again and gazed at the masked man.
In the ring, Princess Crimson Moon also turned pale when she heard what Jiang Chen said.
“What do you know? There are many unspeakable facts in that story. You don’t get to talk about it,” Princess Crimson Moon shouted.
“I don’t get to?”
Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully. His fingers swept across his mask, then he said, “Cut the crap. Bring it on.”
“You’ll die for the offense you just made.”
Princess Crimson Moon couldn’t wait anymore. Deep red lights emitted from the two scimitars in her hands.
“Are you looking forward to my best attack? It’s a pity you don’t deserve it. Take this one first.”
Princess Crimson Moon raised the scimitars over her head. Their blades rubbed against each other. After a short preparation, she struck them down with force.
“Occult Method: The Crimson Moon!”
She didn’t aim the knives at Jiang Chen’s body, but struck them towards his left and right sides. When the blades came down, a red radiance shrouded the whole ring in a mysterious change of energy.
