Chapter 369 – An Eye for an Eye
Glances filled with astonishment fell onto Jiang Chen’s face. None of these emperors could believe that the man who had brought such a great storm to the Eastern Continent was so young.
Boom!
The next moment, every single Late Combat Soul warrior on the spot unleashed their powerful pressure and made it sweep toward Jiang Chen like a fierce tornado, instantly making him the center of the storm.
Facing such gigantic pressures, Jiang Chen only responded with a faint smile on his face. He just stood there without feeling any discomfort, as if the pressure was useless against him.
“What?”
Even the Imperial Emperor was puzzled by this situation, and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chen once more. The pressure unleashed by more than a dozen Late Combat Soul warriors was not something fun to be up against, no ordinary man could withstand, and yet, Jiang Chen was behaving as if nothing was happening. Furthermore, this place was the Martial Saint Palace, any young man who came here would be awed, letting the fact that the Imperial Emperor was staring at him. But this young man however, he had been wearing a calm expression ever since he came into the palace, as if he had just stepped into a food market. Just this attitude alone was something that no other young geniuses could compare with.
“Hmph! What are you guys doing? You think I don’t exist?”
Wu Jiu said.
“Hmph! This Jiang Chen nearly killed Wu Cong, and he beat up Wu Yan right after arriving at the Martial Palace; he has absolutely no respect for the princes! This is an insult to the Imperial family, a sin that can only be redeemed with his death!”
The Tenth Emperor coldly harrumphed. An eye for an eye.
“All young men are hot tempered, Wu Cong and Wu Yan were no match for Jiang Chen, and it simply means they are lacking in strength. Jiang Chen also didn’t even kill them.”
Wu Jiu said.
“Imperial Emperor, the Shangguan Clan has always serviced the Martial Saint Dynasty, and we just want to kill our enemy, but the Ninth Emperor keeps stopping us, this is really unfair. I hope the Imperial Emperor can consider our loyalty for all this time and give us justice.”
Shangguan Sheng bowed deeply toward the Imperial Emperor.
“The Myriad Sword Sect has never said no to any of the Martial Saint Dynasty’s requests. Now, our elders have been killed, our young geniuses have been killed, even our number one genius, Xuan Yuzi, has been killed by this guy. This is a resentment that can’t be resolved, I hope the Ninth Emperor can stay out of this, and let us settle this ourselves.”
Tiangang Yi spoke as well. The leaders of both superpowers from the Jian Province were pressuring the Imperial Emperor at the same time.
“This is giving me a headache. Lao Jiu, what do you think?”
Imperial Emperor turned to Wu Jiu and asked.
“Imperial Emperor, I only have one thing to say; I will protect Jiang Chen with my own life! He has saved my life, and if anyone wants to kill him, they will have to stop over my dead body!”
Wu Jiu’s attitude remained strong. He didn’t want to back down from this matter.
The Imperial Emperor furrowed his brows. A displeased expression could be seen on his face. He didn’t like the way Wu Jiu talked, as it sounded like Wu Jiu wasn’t giving him any face in front of so many people.
Caw!
Right at this moment, a sharp caw was suddenly heard from outside the palace. After that, a hawk with golden feathers flew into the palace and landed on the Imperial Emperor’s shoulder. It made some ‘caw’ sounds near the Imperial Emperor’s ear, and after that, it flew out from the palace.
The Imperial Emperor threw his glance onto Jiang Chen’s face once again, then he said, “Jiang Chen, one side wants to kill you, and the other side wants to protect you; it is a difficult decision to make. However, I just received news about a dimensional crack having appeared in a remote area of the Eastern Continent, and a huge amount of Dimensional Creatures have rushed out from it. These creatures are wreaking havoc and killing many innocents, and I am thinking of sending you to eliminate all the Dimensional Creatures and repair the crack. If you can do it, I’ll forgive all the wrong deeds you’ve done, what do you think?”
“Dimensional crack?”
Jiang Chen was startled for a moment.
“That’s right. When the greatest Saint swung his sword toward the Heavens and destroyed the gates leading to the Realm of Immortals, the Saint Origin Realm was seriously affected, and the dimensional barrier surrounding our realm became weakened. Creatures will frequently break into our world and wreak havoc, but it seems like it’s a much more serious matter this time. There are sightings of Combat Soul Dimensional Creatures, and their numbers are huge. Your mission is not only to eliminate those creatures, you have to repair the crack as well.”
The Imperial Emperor explained.
“No way!”
Wu Jiu nearly jumped up, “Imperial Emperor, this is simply a mission that cannot be accomplished! Putting aside those ferocious Dimensional Creatures, only a Combat King warrior who has mastered the Dimensional Laws can repair a dimensional crack, and Jiang Chen is only a Divine Core warrior! Not only can he not repair it, he might get dragged into the crack if he gets too close!”
