Chapter 1074
Not Giving Face
7/14 chapters!
The killing intent coming from Yuan Chengjun couldn’t escape Jiang Chen’s senses. Looking at his fading shadow, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but frown.
“I hope you don’t mess with me again,” said Jiang Chen plainly.
He didn’t wish to start a conflict with the people in the Prefecture, but if Yuan Chengjun continued to provoke him like a fool, he wouldn’t show him any courtesy. All along, the people who offended Jiang Chen didn’t have a good end.
A slight breeze blew out of his body, closing the doors automatically; he then continued his cultivation and effort to refine the soul imprint in his body. Unknowingly, the night began and the moonlight shone through the window of the room and landed on his face.
He slowly opened his eyes, feeling slightly agitated all of a sudden, not knowing if it was because of Yuan Chengjun’s interruption in the day. Through the course of his life, it was rare that such an unsettling emotion would affect his mind.
Since he couldn’t stay calm, he might as well end his seclusion. He made a lazy stretch of his back, stood up from the round cushion, and gently pushed open the door. A wave of cool breeze rushed in, giving him a sense of refreshing feeling.
But Jiang Chen was already prepared for it. He moved right at the moment Huang Xiong moved. Using the Spatial Shift and the Nine Phantom Wolves, a series of illusions appeared in the alley.
*Pu!* *Pu!*
Huang Xiong smashed two illusions of Jiang Chen but the real Jiang Chen had already disappeared from the scene. Then, he saw a silhouette rushing into the Prefecture.
“Very fast! It’s impossible. How can a late Human Immortal be so fast? Although attacking those illusions was a mistake, a late Human Immortal brat could never escape from my grip.”
Huang Xiong looked astonished by Jiang Chen’s speed. It was his first time seeing this. One should know that he was a late Earth Immortal expert and there was a huge gap between him and Jiang Chen, but still, this puny Human Immortal brat was able to slip off his grasp. If he didn’t experience this personally, he would never believe it.
“This man is definitely a huge threat. Where did such a great genius come from? Not only does he have a great concoction technique but he also has tremendous talent. I have to admit that this is my first time seeing a late Human Immortal slipping away from my grip. I suppose we have to get rid of him as soon as possible, or else his presence will definitely raise the overall strength of the Prefecture. By that time, our family will be doomed.”
Huang Xiong’s facial expression turned extremely grim. Before seeing Jiang Chen, he didn’t put Jiang Chen in his eyes at all, but now, he truly felt threatened from this newcomer. Since the patriarch has entrusted this task to him, he must make sure to complete it.
Huang Xiong’s emergence had spoiled Jiang Chen’s mood for a stroll. He then went back to his courtyard.
It seems like there are spies in the Prefecture. Otherwise, Huang Xiong wouldn’t have found me.
Jiang Chen muttered in his mind. Given his intelligence and wit, he was able to guess that Huang Xiong’s emergence must be after hearing the news of him concocting the Ardent Yang Pill, because the matter of Yan Dongliu’s injuries should have been kept a secret unless someone else broke the law.
