Chapter 66
The newcomer was a big, old man in a gray robe. It looked like he hadn’t washed his robe for a long time. There was a lot of dirt on his pant legs.
Then Jiang Chen looked at his face. He looked as though he was in a hurry, with an untrimmed beard and bloodshot eyes, a bit abnormal.
He walked to the end of the Lost Soul. There was nothing but a cliff and walls of the mountain.
However, Jiang Chen saw him jumping up and flying to the stone wall on the opposite side with something in his hand that looked like a compass.
Jiang Chen recognized what that was, since he had one as well in his previous life.
It was a formation disk, an indispensable instrument for deploying and cracking tactical formations.
Jiang Chen didn’t need it for his formation of flying swords because its sphere of influence was only twenty yards and he already had four tactic pennants.
“I’ll help you,” Mo Xu said without any hesitation.
“Senior, how is your status in the school?” Jiang Chen looked at him doubtfully.
Mo Xu felt offended. He was obsessed with tactical formations and knew nothing about what was going on in the school, but he knew his own value and importance in the Natural Law School.
He was a grand supreme elder. This identity was more than enough to protect Jiang Chen.
“Just go ahead. If you win, but the Hall of Penal Law doesn’t stop going against you, I’ll tear it down!”
“Are you serious?”
“Of course!”
“Then I can just walk out of here?” Jiang Chen pointed at the entrance of the Lost Soul, looking at Mo Xu.
“Go ahead, go ahead. I am thinking about what you just said.”
There were no guards at the Lost Soul, unlike the other places for solitary confinement. The punishment was severe if a disciple walked out of a place meant for solitary confinement.
Jiang Chen dared to leave because he had his own thoughts. That Elder Mo talked unclearly. Of course Jiang Chen wouldn’t believe him so easily.
But, he had a formation disk and was in charge of the maintenance of the great formation of the mountain protection of the Natural Law School. He couldn’t just be an average elder.
So Jiang Chen returned to his place honestly.
On his way back, the disciples that saw him acted like they’d seen a ghost.
When he entered his room, he found there was a strong odor of medicine. His expression immediately changed. At that moment, a pretty maid came up to him.
“Who are you? Why are you here?” he asked.
“I’m the princess’s personal maid. I’m here to take care of Meng Hao.”
“Meng Hao? What happened to him?” Jiang Chen asked.
The maid couldn’t bear to talk about it, so she led Jiang Chen to the bed.
Jiang Chen turned pale. Meng Hao was severely injured. He had been badly beaten. Half of his bones were broken and he had massive internal bleeding. His face was black and blue, and he was still in coma.
“What happened?”
“The day you left for the Lost Soul, Zheng Ping brought his people here. He claimed that Meng Hao had stolen from him, so he broke in to search the room. Then he gave Meng Hao a rough beating.”
“This is obviously revenge. Didn’t the school interfere?”
“Meng Hao isn’t a disciple of the Natural Law School.”
Oh yeah, Meng Hao was only Jiang Chen’s attendant. He would have died here without Wen Xin’s help.
