Chapter 1673 - Supreme Venerables
The two lords’ defeat didn’t bring about the end the battle. The rest of the people of Wind Cloud City were filled with righteous rage.
And hiding under their rage was their greed.
From everything that had been heard, it wasn’t hard to figure out that what Jiang Chen had obtained was some sort of fire energy. Plus, the thing that had defeated the two lords was also related to fire.
Therefore, they assumed that for Jiang Chen, who was only at the early stage of being a Martial Arts Saint, to defeat these two lords, it must be all due to the acquisition of some kind of fire energy.
What they were thinking was that if a Martial Arts Saint could turn the tide with this fire energy, what would happen if it were to fall into the hands of these Venerable Sovereigns, wouldn’t they be indomitable?
Hence, not only were the people of Wind Cloud City ready to attack Jiang Chen, but even people who had nothing to do with this matter were ready to cause trouble.
The people of the three great forces looked at each other, then started to attack.
This was part of a new system that had been promulgated by the Sacred Institute during the last three years, based on the foundations of being Martial Emperors.
It was said that when one reached the level of Divine King, which was similar to the Supreme Venerable, one was called Royal.
The Supreme Venerable among the Venerable Sovereigns, the Royal among the Divine Kings.
The Royal hadn’t appeared yet, but there were already quite a number of Supreme Venerables. They all represented strong parties.
It doesn’t matter if one is willing to admit it or not, there are differences between each and every individual.
All the Venerable Sovereigns only started showing up during these past three years. At the same time, there were huge differences among the Venerable Sovereigns.
“These three must be the Extraordinary Supreme Venerables, the best group of people.”
Some in the crowd were discussing these venerables, secretly of course.
The Supreme Venerables were also divided into Junior Supreme Venerable, Senior Supreme Venerable, and Extraordinary Supreme Venerable.
The Senior and Junior Venerables had almost all been taken over by the Sovereign Spirit Reincarnations. The Supreme Venerables had been the dominating warriors before the arrival of the Venerable Sovereign era.
For example, the Demon Race’s Supreme Venerable was the Demon Race’s Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster.
“What’s happening? What is worth tens of Venerable Sovereigns getting caught in a scuffle?”
The three Supreme Venerable stood there with hands clasped behind their backs, looking at the crowd, waiting for an answer.
As soon as the question came out of his mouth, the people of Wind Cloud City sounded like a pot of popcorn popping. They all started talking at once, chattering nonstop.
All they were talking about was Jiang Chen’s arrogance.
After finally understanding what they were talking about, the three Supreme Venerables looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen and the Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster locked eyes for a short while. He then quickly looked away.
“Don’t you have anything to say?” The human race’s Supreme Venerable asked.
“What they said was basically true. The only thing I want to stress is that if I hadn’t retrieved the fire energy, there would’ve been countless casualties in Wind Cloud City.” said Jiang Chen.
“You sure know how to blow your own trumpet.”
The wizard race’s Supreme Venerable’s gaze sharpened after figuring out Jiang Chen’s identity.
“Who the fire energy should belong to is out of the Sacred Institute’s control. We are just here to stop the fight.”
The Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster said, “Wind Cloud City has indeed moved before. Even if the fire energy was right below it, we can’t say with certainly that it belongs to them. As for whether what Jiang Chen said was true, it is not important anymore.”
The wizard race’s Supreme Venerable wanted to elaborate, but the human race’s Supreme Venerable looked toward the people of Wind Cloud City and said, “How much do you understand about the fire energy? Do you know its name? Is there any proof showing the relationship between the fire energy and Wind Cloud City?”
Compared to the Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster, the human race’s Supreme Venerable still cared a lot about Wind Cloud City.
As long as Wind Cloud City gave a reason, he might even take action.
In the end, the people of Wind Cloud City were faltering. No words came out of their mouths.
“So, you all should thank us for saving you from being murdered by Jiang Chen,” said the Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster.
“That’s it?” The wizard race’s Supreme Venerable was not content.
“Or what? Which rule of the Sacred Institute states that we should deal with any fight between these two parties?” asked the Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster.
“Humph, Jiang Chen’s foul energy was too strong and had no respect for anyone. As seniors, we should let him know that there is always someone better than him.”
