Chapter 1708 - Ransoms
Jiang Chen knew from Ma Wei that the Sacred Spirit Continent was divided into five fields.
The Sacred Spirit was in a pretty complicated situation since various broken Planes’ Worlds had been merged. There were all sorts of bad characters.
And it was accessible to strong races from the Dragon Realm, the Monster Realm, and so on.
The Green Field, where Jiang Chen was at the moment, was the most chaotic region among the five fields.
In the Green Field, some force had banned flying, so that people below martial level could not fly in the sky.
“It’s such a big world, but a force wants to have the sky all to themselves? What is it called?” Jiang Chen said, feeling it funny.
“The Over Cloud Palace,” Ma Wei blurted out without thinking.
Ma Wei had to go on leading the horse.
Before, the mountain gate of the Bloody Killing Gang was flat ground, with a bonfire burning at the center. There were already many people there.
It was surprising that none of these people was a member of the Bloody Killing Gang.
Standing far from each other, they were just strangers.
They were not surprised to see Jiang Chen coming on a horse. Although some of them were taken aback a little by Jiang Chen’s tender age, none of them commented.
“Are they here to ransom their people?” said Jiang Chen.
“Exactly. The mountain gate won’t be open until the dawn. Then these people will be received in order. That’s why they are here waiting,” said Ma Wei.
Jiang Chen smiled. This Bloody Killing Gang was quite systematic.
They kidnapped people here, and those who came to pay ransoms would have to wait in a line!
“Get off the horse and wait in the line. The Bloody Killing Gang will be pissed if you have such a high profile.”
Someone said to him when Jiang Chen was hesitating whether to fight his way through the mountain gate.
The man who had warned him said it in a roundabout manner, but it was for his own good indeed.
The members of the Bloody Killing Gang were standing on the stone steps leading onto the mountain.
“I should take a rest tonight.”
He would be able to recover ten or twenty percent of his fighting force during the night so that the odds would be more in his favor.
Ma Wei curled his lip, thinking… ‘I thought you would show your mettle and kill many people judging from how you had boasted…’
If it were not for fear of Jiang Chen’s Immortal Sword, he really would run onto the steps to call those people to kill the latter.
Jiang Chen got off the horse, looking towards the man who had warned him.
It was a middle-aged man in luxury clothes. He looked rich, but also looked like he had been worn out.
Seeing Jiang Chen looking at him, he curled up his lip without speaking. Then he turned away and left.
Jiang Chen did not feel offended. Apparently, it was someone very important to that man that had been kidnapped.
“Hi, are you alone?”
Someone else spoke to Jiang Chen. It was a pretty young woman.
Jiang Chen saw by one glance that she was one of the strongest in the crowd.
“Only with him?”
The young woman threw Ma Wei a glance before Jiang Chen could answer. She sounded pitiful.
“Yes.”
“Alas, stay with us, so that you can be received earlier and reunite with your family earlier,” the woman said with compassion.
This was jumping the queue. Others cast them an unhappy look but did not stop them.
Obviously, Jiang Chen was not the only one who had seen through the woman’s strength.
The woman was not alone. She was with some peers. There were other men and women.
Jiang Chen was taken into the team after nodding.
All of these people were Star Venerables. They were good-looking men and women, well dressed.
A teenage girl was sitting at the center, lowering her head and crying quietly.
Needless to say, these people came for her.
“Hey, what happened to your family? Why a kid like you come here? Were your parents caught?” said a youngster carelessly in the team that looked rebellious.
