Chapter 74
Chapter 74 – Peerless Evildoer, Nan Bei Chao
After finally exiting Origin Mountain, Jiang Chen could clearly feel the natural energies getting stronger. The concentration was at least two times higher. Besides, this was only the border between the inner and outer Qi Province. The concentration of natural energies would only increase after venturing deeper into the Qi Province.
Not only this, the places where the four big sects were residing must be places with the greatest amount of natural energies. Powerful warriors could make good use of those places. They could construct special formations that can gather natural energies, making it a place suitable for cultivation and a place people would yearn to be. This allowed the sect to be everlasting.
The scene outside Origin Mountain was not a crowded place like they had imagined. Instead, it was a grassland where the wind was constantly swaying the grass. There were a couple of people and caravans moving across the grassland, but there weren’t many of them.
“A huge grassland outside the mountain?”
Yan Chen Yu was a little surprised.
“Origin Mountain is too remote. The people from the Qi Province rarely come to this place. Only a few caravans will come here in order to search for treasure. This grassland covers at least a five thousand mile radius, and after crossing this grassland, there will be another big area with many hills. That’s another eight thousand mile radius. Only after passing through that area can we be considered to be in the Qi Province.”
Big Yellow explained.
Jiang Chen waved his hand casually, took out nine Mortal Restoration Pills from his storage bag, threw them onto the guard’s hand, and then walked straight into the city.
“I have never seen that young man before, they must come from some other place. He looks like a rich brat, I should have asked for more…”
Jiang Chen could clearly hear the guard’s voice from behind.
“That pretty chick is incredible. If she could spend a night with me, then that would be true pleasure!”
Another guard’s face was filled with lust as his gaze landed on Yan Chen Yu’s back. Saliva almost began to pour out from his mouth.
But right after that guard’s words left his mouth, his body suddenly started trembling, and the smile on his face froze. His body then produced a cracking sound, and just a split second later, transparent ice appeared on his body. He had completely turned into an ice statue.
“Hey, Wang, what happened to you?”
“Why is he frozen?! Shit! He’s not breathing!”
“Wang is dead, what happened?! Who did this?!”
Those guards became panicked, and their faces showed terrified expressions. A man who was alive and kicking just one second ago had now turned into an ice statue; he had been frozen to death. It was just like seeing a ghost in the broad daylight.
“It was that young man just now!”
The leader of the guards said. They all raised their heads, but they failed to locate Jiang Chen.
Within the Silver Moon City, Big Yellow had a huge smile on his face, “Hehe, Xiao Yu has learnt to be cruel now; you killed someone instantly!”
“He said something rude. I was just trying to teach him a lesson, but I never thought he would be so weak that he immediately died from the cold…”
Yan Chen Yu said while feeling wronged.
“Cough cough……”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen started coughing out violently. “Big sis, the Nine Yin Meridians merged with the Ten Thousand Year Freezing Crystal are incredibly powerful, and you asked a Mid Qi Hai warrior to withstand it… Can you blame him for being too weak?”
Jiang Chen and Big Yellow were speechless. Even an ordinary Mortal Core warrior couldn’t withstand Yan Chen Yu’s frost, not to mention an ordinary Qi Hai warrior. That guard was just looking for death. Sometimes you could eat whatever you want, but you couldn’t say whatever you want. Yan Chen Yu was not the same naïve girl she was in Red City. After being with Jiang Chen and Big Yellow for so long, she grew accustomed to killing.
“Have you heard? The result of the fight between the inner circle disciples of the big four sects has been released!”
“It has come out? Who took first place? I heard that Liang Xiao from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Bai Hu Die from the Valley of Happiness, and Guan Yi Yun are all Late Heavenly Core warriors. The competition between the inner circle disciples was actually between these three persons!”
“That’s right, these three men are all genii among genii; each of them possess strong abilities. To find out who is the strongest amongst them, I am afraid that it would only cause harm to both sides.”
“You all guessed wrong! The first place for this year’s Qi Province inner circle competition is none of them; it is Nan Bei Chao from the Burning Sky Pavilion!”
…………
Along the way, the Qi Province competition was being discussed everywhere. It was hard for Jiang Chen to not hear any of it.
“What is the Qi Province competition?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“This competition is held together by the four big sects in the Qi Province. Held annually, it’s categorized into the inner circle competition and the outer circle competition. The reason why it’s called the Qi Province competition and not the Big Four Sect competition is because all genii in the Qi Province are allowed to participate in it to give a fair chance to everyone. Of course, this is what they say, but in fact, it is still a competition between the four big sects. Most genii in the Qi Province were attracted into one of the four big sects, so there’s no way for those ordinary people who participate in the Qi Province competition to compare with the genii from the four big sects.”
Big Yellow said. Looking at how he explained it, one could easily tell that he was really familiar with the Qi Province.
“Nan Bei Chao? I have never heard about this name before. I only know that there’s a man from the Burning Sky Pavilion named Wu Sheng, but in a fight with Guan Yi Yun two months ago, he was defeated. I thought the Burning Sky Pavilion would definitely lose the competition this time… Who is this Nan Bei Chao?”
“Maybe you guys haven’t heard, but this Nan Bei Chao came out from nowhere! He is only 18 years old this year, but he has reached the Mid Heavenly Core realm! His talent is peerless, and with his Mid Heavenly Core, he managed to defeat Guan Yi Yun and the other two, going all the way and grabbing first place in the inner circle competition! He is really awesome!”
