Chapter 170
“Wait! Let’s wait and see!” Mu Ping had been relying on the authority of his identity. But now that he had been ignored, not only did he feel embarrassed, he didn’t know what to do.
So he trash-talked and ran away.
“You’ve gotten yourself into trouble. He’s from Duke Mu’s Palace. His brother is Mu Zhenchuan, the Young Duke. He’s in town, too!” Baili Li didn’t dare linger there longer, so she turned around to leave, but her parting glance showed that it wasn’t over.
Jiang Chen and Shui Sheng looked at each other. She said, “Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen, let’s get out of here.”
“Then you won’t be able to leave this place,” Jiang Chen smiled casually and kept walking ahead.
In the last three days of their adventure in the Realm of Beasts, the portals of different groups in each city would open one by one.
The Exquisite Sect’s portal in the City of Bear would be open from that morning to the next. Shui Sheng said the City of Bear was the last city where the portal was open. If she didn’t make it there in time, she would be assumed to be dead, so Jiang Chen had accompanied her to the square in the city center.
“Jiang Chen, it’s you!”
Mu Zhenchuan recognized him immediately. It was a surprise that the guy who had bullied his brother was the same guy who had lost him access to the Transdragon Pool.
With their history and a new conflict, Mu Zhenchuan didn’t look happy at all.
“Jiang Chen?!”
The onlookers finally knew his identity. They were all surprised.
The news that Mo Li, who was ranked seventh on the Prince List, had died in the City of Wolf spread rapidly in the Realm of Beasts.
The killer’s name, Jiang Chen, was known to everyone.
Many claimed that Jiang Chen’s swordsmanship was the best among youngsters, and even the First Apprentice Brother of the Sword Sect of Returning to Oneness wasn’t a match for him.
Apprentice Sister Zhiruo was very surprised. She didn’t know the “nobody” in her eyes actually had such prominence.
The disciples behind her, who had been impolite to Jiang Chen, were all dumbfounded. Although they were all in the Mental Wander State, theoretically, Jiang Chen would be able to kill them easily.
“We didn’t say anything wrong. How would he be able to fight us by himself?”
They were still arguing, unwilling to admit their mistakes, because the situation wasn’t in Jiang Chen’s favor…
Baili Tu, Baili Li’s elder brother, also the youngster in armor, was ranked sixtieth on the Eternal Flame List.
His rank was lower than Mo Li’s. Of course he wasn’t a match for Jiang Chen.
As for Mu Zhenchuan, he was ranked seventh on the Talent List and fifty-fifth on the Eternal Flame List, only one place lower than Mo Li.
If it came down to a one-on-one fight, Jiang Chen seemed more powerful, but what if the two fought together? The two families also had many Mental Wander States.
“Brother,” Mu Ping called. He knew Jiang Chen and his brother were both disciples of the Natural Law School, afraid that his brother would let Jiang Chen go as a fellow disciple.
Mu Zhenchuan became very angry upon seeing his brother’s swollen face. He shouted, “Jiang Chen! As a disciple of the Natural Law School, you tried to rob another’s mount? You’re a criminal from the mountains for sure. Shame on you! Give the white tiger back to the Bailis.”
“The Bailis abandoned it… Alas, forget it. I don’t even want to explain. I won’t give it back. What will you do about it?!”
Jiang Chen didn’t bother to waste his time explaining.
How arrogant!
The crowd was shocked when they saw him provoking the two teams fearlessly.
Jiang Chen drew out his sword first and pointed it at the two teams before him. He said, “Whoever joins the fight shall be responsible for his own life.”
“How arrogant! As your apprentice brother, today I’ll teach you the manners necessary to be a disciple of the Natural Law School!” Mu Zhenchuan said angrily.
“Young Duke Mu, let me handle it.”
Baili Tu, who hadn’t spoken a word until then, jumped off his mount. He was big, and in such heavy armor, he could bat people away with a single touch as he walked by.
“I was going to challenge Mo Li in the Realm of Beasts to improve my rank on the Eternal Flame List. Now, you’ll take my challenge in place of him,” he said.
