The Brilliant Fighting Master

It wasn’t humiliating that he couldn’t defeat Xiao Hongxue. On the contrary, Jiang Chen would’ve become even more famous if anyone had spread the news about this fight to others: because he’d escaped from Xiao Hongxue when the latter was in a rage.

Jiang Chen went back to Tianqi City. As to what had happened to Wang Lin, it was none of his business. And he didn’t give a d*mn anyway.

He met up with Ye Qiu and the others when he’d arrived in Tianqi City.

They could finally relax now that they could see that Jiang Chen was fine.

“What was the result?” asked Ye Qiu.

He surely wasn’t asking whether Jiang Chen had won, because he knew that that was impossible.

“That guy’s strength is much bigger than his wisdom,” Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.

“Ha, ha, ha, Xiao Hongxue is Long Xing’s apprentice. He’s been given a lot of attention. And people have noticed how he’s developed during these years. He’s really enjoyed exceptional advantages.” Ye Qiu burst out laughing at Jiang Chen’s comment.

“There is nothing I can do if you behave like this,” the grand Elder said with a bitter smile.

“Jiang Chen sent me here. He is your vice leader. Why is he being slighted here?” Ye Xue shouted in a cold voice.

“Why did you say that?” The grand Elder shrugged his shoulders, denying her accusation, but neither did he refute it.

Ye Xue felt as if she would like to throw a punch, but she realized that wouldn’t accomplish anything.

This grand Elder in front of her was not one of the only three grand Elders that the celestial palace had had before.

He was only about 50 years old. His state was below Venerable Sovereign.

“Are you deliberately making this difficult for me?” Ye Xue exerted her spiritual power secretly. The temperature in the palace dropped drastically.

This grand Elder felt rather pressured. He didn’t want to fight with her.

“How dare you! Do you think you can run amok like this in the Ling Long Celestial Palace?”

PAH!

The gates of the palace were pushed open. A well-dressed middle-aged woman entered with a lot of people.

She was staring at Ye Xue sternly. “We’ve been polite to you because we respect you as a visitor, but you have gone too far. Catch her!”

Those behind her walked ahead at fast pace.

“How dare you!” Ye Xue threw a fit. Jiang Chen was the vice leader of the celestial palace and was very close to Xiao Nuo. It was just as if they were trampling on Jiang Chen’s dignity by treating her in this way.

“Why don’t we dare? Do you think the celestial palace is Jiang Chen’s private garden? Besides, how can we confirm that it’s true that you have Jiang Chen’s news? If it’s true, why isn’t he here?” the middle-aged woman asked coldly.

“You want to see me?” Coincidentally, Jiang Chen’s voice rang out at this moment.

Then he showed up out of nowhere.

“Jiang Chen!” Ye Xue was pleasantly surprised. Noticing the marks on him left by the fighting, she said, “It’s over?”

“Yeah. We’ve rescued her.”

Ye Xue felt happy and calmer when she’d heard his news.

It didn’t matter to her anymore whether she got to see Xiao Nuo or not.

“What are you waiting for?” To their surprise, the middle-aged woman asked in a stern voice, “Why did you stop?”

Those who had come up to try to catch Ye Xue had stopped when seeing Jiang Chen show up.

But, urged on by the middle-aged woman, they continued to approach Ye Xue.

“How dare you!”

Frowning, Jiang Chen yelled, “I’m the vice leader of the celestial palace. Who are you? How dare you behave like this in the celestial palace?”

“What a coincidence. I’m a vice leader too. Your woman has offended the prestige of the celestial palace. I have to teach her a lesson,” the middle-aged woman said with a cold smile.

There was only one leader, but there could be several vice leaders.

Jiang Chen had no idea who this person was and since when she had been vice leader.

“You think you can teach my woman a lesson?”

There was no sign of respect in any of these people who were staring at Jiang Chen and Ye Xue with hostility. It meant that all of them had joined the celestial palace after his disappearance.

“I’m wondering how much the celestial palace has changed over the past three years.”

Then the Heaven-Punishing Sword showed up in Jiang Chen’s hand.
