Chapter 1649 - Three Minutes
On a cliff of Tianling Mountain, there was an ingenious yard.
It was not big, but it was quite exquisite, with a view of a magnificent waterfall opposite it. It was the perfect place to retreat from the world.
However, if you looked at it carefully, you would find that it was nothing but a beautiful cage.
The cliff was shrouded in a profound ward. It was impossible to enter or leave there. Whoever lived in there was just like a bird living in a cage.
At this moment, a flowing light landed in the yard.
As soon as the light landed, a figure showed up. It was Xiao Hongxue, the person who Jiang Chen knew and didn’t like.
He was quite handsome, but he looked tired and nervous.
He walked into the yard in a hurry.
Then she felt like she was being pulled into water. The world was whirling.
Fortunately, this process didn’t last long. And when it had ended, Xuan Qing found her state force had recovered.
She was about to exert a physical movement to leave there immediately.
“It’s me.”
But then Jiang Chen’s voice rang out.
“You?”
Xuan Qing did not recognize Jiang Chen at first glance.
They’d met fairly recently and then hadn’t been together for a long time.
If it were not for the fact that they were so close, she would never have thought this person could be Jiang Chen.
“Let’s go. This isn’t the place for catching up.”
Jiang Chen exerted the Great Method of the Void again and took Xuan Qing to where the reinforcements were.
The whole process had lasted no more than three minutes. Ye Qiu and the others, who had not even started to feel anxious, involuntarily thought there had been something go wrong when they saw Jiang Chen headed back.
But to their surprise, he was followed by Xuan Qing.
“How is that possible?” Wang Lin was so surprised that he even jumped.
“Lord Ye? Guys?”
Seeing Ye Qiu and the others waiting there, Xuan Qing was surprised and very touched.
“Has the Demon Slayers Palace been trying to rescue me over the past year?”
Every time Xiao Hongxue had transferred her, Xuan Qing always thought it was because someone was coming to her rescue. She had always taken it for granted that it was Jiang Chen.
When she had seen Jiang Chen just now, she was even surer of it.
However, on second thought, she realized Jiang Chen was too strong to spend one year in attempting this.
“I came back into the world not long ago, and Lord Ye and his men asked for my help immediately. They never gave up on you over the past three years. They located Xiao Hongxue each time despite very few clues,” said Jiang Chen.
He knew Xuan Qing had a knot in her heart. She thought everyone was just coveting the Heavenly Bestowal Woman.
But by then he could be sure only of what Xuan Qing was thinking.
If things had really been as Xuan Qing had told him, the Demon Slayers Palace would not have had to wait until he went to her rescue.
In this era of Venerable Sovereigns, Xiao Hongxue wouldn’t have been able to hide the Heavenly Bestowal Woman who could help people become Divine Kings.
“Thank you, guys!” Xuan Qing said emotionally. She felt grateful and ashamed.
“Don’t mention it! I watched you grow up. You are a member of the Demon Slayers Palace.”
Ye Qiu said, “Besides, you are the descendant of the Goddess of Empyrean. It is thanks to the Goddess that the Demon Slayers Palace still exists today. Do you think we would allow anything to happen to you?”
Xuan Qing almost made the same mistake at the mention of the descendant of the Goddess of Empyrean. She almost thought the Demon Slayers Palace had come to save her because she was the Heavenly Bestowal Woman and the Goddess’s descendant.
But then she realized Ye Qiu did not mean that.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Qiu took the Star Water Boat out, ready to get everyone out of this place.
“You go first.”
However, Jiang Chen wasn’t going to leave right away. Looking at Tianling Mountain, he smiled.
“Xiao Hongxue has found out she is gone. He is on his way here.” He continued, “I’m going to meet up with him. You go first. Don’t worry about me. I’m sure I can stay safe and sound.”
“Jiang Chen, did I tell you that Xiao Hongxue is one of the strongest Venerable Sovereigns now?” Ye Qiu said, in a pickle.
“That’s exactly why I want to find out the gap between the strongest and me,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
The others were shocked. They started to look at him in a different way.
