Chapter 430
Chapter 430 – Mighty Return
Yan Chenyu didn’t know if she would be able to save Jiang Cheng’s life, but she felt like she had to at least show herself. She couldn’t just watch those people close to Jiang Chen die in front of her without doing anything. Even if it was just to make herself feel better, she still had to try her best.
Even if it was just an act of seeking death, so what?
Who could remain completely calm when watching their closest getting killed?
“Yan Chenyu!”
When one of the Golden Guards saw this girl, not only did he not feel afraid, he was actually feeling joyful. It looked like the Seventh Emperor’s method worked like they had expected. This was only the second day, and they had lured Yan Chenyu here.
“Young lady, quickly get away from here!”
Jiang Cheng was yelling with all his strength, but Yan Chenyu didn’t listen to him. With incredible speed, she arrived near them. An ice-cold beam impaled a Golden Guard’s head. However, before Yan Chenyu reached Jiang Cheng, three powerful auras suddenly appeared and approached Yan Chenyu.
The Tenth Emperor was struck with great shock, and the Ice Demon King wasn’t planning on slowing down because of that. It was not afraid of death, as death was simpler than eating to it. Without hesitating, it threw its gigantic fist toward the Tenth Emperor.
When the Ice Demon King launched its attack toward the Tenth Emperor, the Seventh Emperor immediately chased into the direction where Yan Chenyu had disappeared into. However, the Ice Demon King quickly responded. It immediately gave up on the Tenth Emperor and caught up with the Seventh Emperor. Like this, the Ice Demon King held back both emperors, while getting killed several dozen times doing so. After it was killed for the last time, it simply never appeared again.
The emperors grouped together and chased after Yan Chenyu, but even after flying several thousand kilometers, they were simply unable to find any traces of her.
“Damn it, what kind of insane existence is that monster?! Why wouldn’t it just die?!”
The Seventh Emperor couldn’t help but curse out loudly.
“Although that monster is at the Late Combat Soul realm, it only knows how to attack with raw strength. It’s unable to cultivate Yuan energy or use any combat skills, so it’s unable to withstand even a single blow from us. However, its ability to resurrect is truly a headache, as it gave Yan Chenyu the time to escape.”
The Tenth Emperor’s face darkened as well. They had finally lured Yan Chenyu out, but in the end, they had still let her slip away. This was something really shameful for both of them.
“Hmph! Let’s kill three men tomorrow! I’ll pick three important people from the Yan family when we return. I don’t believe that Yan Chenyu will still be able to hide herself then. We’ll have the snare well prepared, and with all three of us, I don’t want that Yan Chenyu to be able to escape even if she was given wings!”
The Seventh Emperor said with a sinister expression. As neither of them had found any traces of Yan Chenyu, they had no choice but to return from where they came.
Within a quiet valley, Yan Chenyu stood quietly while facing a lake. With a piercing gaze and an expressionless face, she murmured, “Jiang Cheng, rest in peace. Chen Gege will definitely avenge you.”
In the end, Jiang Cheng was unable to escape from death. Although Yan Chenyu showed up and tried saving his life, she had failed to do so. Still, her appearance was very important, she had at least seen Jiang Cheng’s final moment, allowing him to die without any regrets. Furthermore, Jiang Cheng wasn’t killed by their enemy, he had actually committed suicide. The last smile he had on his face was a calm and peaceful smile.
And this was the value of Yan Chenyu’s appearance today.
“Chen Gege, when are you coming back? Little Yu can’t hold on much longer.”
Yan Chenyu squatted down and folded her arms around her shoulders. Though she had grown a lot since she first met Jiang Chen, she was still just a little girl.
Early morning the next day, Yan Chenyu had calmed herself down. She was once again on her way to the Fragrant Sky City. When she secretly arrived outside of the city, she immediately saw two wooden pillars placed above the city walls. On top of these two pillars were two human heads. One belonged to an alchemist from the Jiang family, and the other Jiang Cheng.
“Who will die next? What can I do to stop this?”
Yan Chenyu felt really gloomy. Although she possessed the Nine Yin Meridians, something only existed in the Nine Yin Body, a Divine Body; her cultivation was too weak, and her enemies were too strong. If she didn’t have the Ice Demon King to help her, she wouldn’t be able to do anything at all.
An hour later, a few dozen Golden Guards flew out from the Fragrant Sky City. They brought three men with them, and when Yan Chenyu saw who these three people were, her expression immediately changed.
Yan Hongtai, Yan Meng, Yan Xing. All three of them were important people of the Yan family. For Yan Chenyu, these were her seniors. Ever since she had been young, these people were the ones who had been showing care and concern for her.
“No!”
Yan Chenyu cried out in her mind. They had killed one person yesterday, and they were going to kill three today, and all of them were from the Yan family. This was obviously brought by her appearance yesterday. Today’s scene was purposely prepared for her.
Yan Meng and the other two wore resolute expressions on their faces, just like Jiang Cheng the day before. They showed no signs of fear, as if death was something perfectly normal.
Soon, noon arrived. The sun shone brightly above their heads, giving the trio a scorching sensation as three razor sharp blades were placed on the necks of the trio.
When the hidden Yan Chenyu saw this, her gaze became determined. Regardless of whether or not she would be able to save their lives; she couldn’t just sit back and watch as her own family members got killed.
“Stop!”
Yan Chenyu shouted out. Like a fairy descending from the sky, she once again arrived in the city. Right when Yan Chenyu showed herself, three extremely powerful energies suddenly erupted forth from three different locations, trapping her tightly. The Seventh Emperor, Tenth Emperor, and Yuan Long appeared at the same time.
They had prepared well for this moment. As long as Yan Chenyu showed up, the three would strike at the same time and trap her in the middle. Therefore, even if that monster appeared again, there was no way she would be able to run away from them.
“Little Yu, run for your life!”
When Yan Hongtai saw Yan Chenyu, he immediately yelled out like a crazy person.
“Haha, Yan Chenyu, it looks like you’re a girl who cares very much about family and friends. However, there is no way you can escape from us today!”
The Seventh Emperor burst into laughter. However, right after he finished speaking, something unexpected suddenly occurred. Two imposing auras appeared in the distance, and at the same time, a thunderous voice violently rocked through the sky.
“If you dare touch her, I will make sure you regret ever being born!”
The voice echoed across the sky, showing how mighty the man who was about to show himself was.
