Chapter 1693 - Killed by Trash Talk
In the Imperial Hall of the Xia, Mrs. Yang, in her court apparel, was discussing with the ministers about Jiang Chen’s trip to the Sovereign Soul Palace.
They were paying close attention to the information, but the Imperial Hall of the Xia was too far away from the Soul Hall of the Sovereign Soul Palace. As a result, there would be an information delay.
The latest information they had at that moment was Jiang Chen talking about the reincarnators of Sovereign Soul and the Wall of the World.
“What on earth is Jiang Chen up to? Even if he is eloquent enough to convince those people, what will it lead to?”
“With the tight siege of the Sovereign Soul Palace, he will have to pay the price even if he runs away.”
“If the Sovereign Soul Palace is irritated, the Heavenly Palace and the Celestial Palace will definitely be affected.”
The Xia’s ministers were gloomy and worried. They suddenly looked a few years older than their actual ages.
The late emperor of the Xia died on the Alien Battlefield. The new emperor was still very young. And after the formation of the Boundless Continent, many officials in the dynasty had wild ambitions to usurp the throne.
“This is courting death!”
This was what everyone thought.
“For those who want to go, follow me. For those who don’t, stay here as reinforcement.”
Just like Jiang Chen would be willing to fling caution to the wind for Xiao Nuo, Xiao Nuo would not let him down, either.
Her words put those who had thought about turning back guilty. They made up their mind.
When they were about to hit the road again, a group of people came from the Martial Divinity Palace.
“Red Cloud Venerable, please stop here.”
Their leader was Jian Wuji, the son of the vice lord of the Martial Divinity Palace. He was leading a group of elites of the Martial Divinity Palace.
“We are heading for the Soul Hall. It’s none of your business,” Xiao Nuo said bluntly.
“Red Cloud Venerable, the thing with the Soul Hall is already over. Please go back as soon as possible. It’s dangerous to linger here.”
Jian Wuji was as handsome as three years ago, giving off an acuteness uniquely owned by swordsmen.
He saw Ye Xue in white out of the corner of his eye as he spoke. His pupils dilated as soon as he saw her.
“It’s too late.”
The news made Xiao Nuo shiver. She was extremely sad and guilty. Seized with uncontrollable emotion, her long black hair turned white instantly.
Ye Xue looked emotionless. The cold energy given off by her was freezing the world.
She insisted on going to the Soul Hall to revenge Jiang Chen.
“The whole Sovereign Soul Palace has gone mad. If they know you are here, they will definitely chase you and attack you fiercely,” Jian Wuji said immediately.
The Martial Divinity Palace was close to the Sovereign Soul Palace, so compared to other forces, they had advantages to get information about the latter.
“My father has agreed to be Jiang Chen’s backup. It will be fine,” he added.
“What!?”
The crew of the Celestial Palace was shocked because he sounded as if Jiang Chen was still alive.
“So, why did you say the thing with the Soul Hall was over?” Xiao Nuo threw him an unhappy look.
“Venerable, Long Xing is dead, and Jiang Chen has survived. Isn’t this over?” Jiang Wuji said, confused.
“Long Xing is dead!?”
The crew of the Celestial Palace felt like they were in a fever dream.
Their vice leader killed Long Xing alone?
That was quite impossible.
Before, no matter how surprisingly great Jiang Chen was, it was reasonable, although it was beyond expectation.
But if he killed Long Xing as a Martial Arts Saint, that would be like a mission impossible was completed.
“How did Long Xing die?” Xiao Nuo asked, still feeling uneasy.
Jian Wuji frowned, wondering how to put it. In retrospect, he actually reacted pretty much the same as these people when he had got the news.
“Killed by trash talk.”
Jian Wuji found a proper way to put it in a second.
It was surely confusing for the crew of the Celestial Palace.
Unfortunately, Jian Wuji did not have the time to tell them more details. It was an emergency, and it was very unsafe out there.
“Let’s go back. Ye Xue, you go back to the Heavenly Palace. Tell them to impose a curfew!” Xiao Nuo ordered as soon as she made the decision.
“But…”
Ye Xue was still feeling uneasy. Gazing at where the Sovereign Soul Palace was, she wanted to confirm Jiang Chen was fine with her own eyes.
“Do what I said. That’s also what Jiang Chen would want you to do.”
Hearing Xiao Nuo say this, Xiao Nuo had to follow her order.
Time passed by. The news about Long Xing’s death spread across the Boundless Continent like a tornado.
Many people could not accept such a fact. After confirming the news, again and again, they were petrified.
“Is this Jiang Chen a god? He could verdict a person and kill a person by trash talk?”
There was no way for those who had not seen the whole thing with their own eyes to know how peculiar the situation had been.
They only thought Jiang Chen had appealed to the Natural Law to sentence Long Xing.
Three years and eighty-three days after the reorganization of the Black Yellow Great World.
Long Xing died outside the Soul Hall. The whole world was shocked.
