Chapter 1648 - Star Water Boat
“A Heavenly Bestowal Woman, like Xue’er?”
Ye Xue did not feel relieved until she had learned that Jiang Chen and Xuan Qing were only comrades in arms.
She’d allowed Jiang Chen to have Nangong Xue because of her guilt.
She’d acquiesced to Xu Tianyin’s existence because Xu Tianyin had been Jiang Chen’s destiny in two other lives.
She’d accepted Xiao Nuo because she couldn’t defeat her.
However, she would be extremely pissed off if she found out that Jiang Chen had had love affairs with any other women except those three.
“Given your relationship, the risk isn’t worth taking,” said Ye Xue.
“It’s my state indeed,” said Jiang Chen.
He had not specifically worked on his state over the past three years.
What had killed those Venerable Sovereigns was not state force, but Heart Power.
State force was helpful for the improvement of Tao, Buddha, and Demon, as a result of which Jiang Chen could get more Heart Power. This was the relation between state force and Heart Power.
“Wang Lin, I hope you can restrain yourself. Trust my decision. If I hear you shouting or yelling again, you will have to go back.”
Ye Qiu did not ask Jiang Chen anything else. He chose to trust him unconditionally.
Wang Lin resisted the impulse to leave in a fit of pique. He wanted Ye Qiu to realize he and the others could be more useful than Jiang Chen.
After leaving Tianqi City, Ye Qiu took out an oval object. Its transparent surface looked like a giant drop of water.
“Come here.”
They went into the drop of water. Then Jiang Chen learned it was a flying prop.
It was the fastest flying prop he had ever seen. And it was dozens of times faster than the second-fastest flying prop.
“Without using the teleportation formation, it would have taken us two weeks to fly there, but with this Star Water Boat, we’ll arrive in an hour,” Ye Qiu said.
The drop of water streaked across the sky at an amazingly fast speed. It was really like a shooting star.
On their way, Ye Qiu told Jiang Chen all the information he knew regarding Tianling Mountain.
Tianling Mountain used to be a Spiritual Land occupied by a rebel army. Then Xiao Hongxue had occupied it and established the Flying Snow Palace there.
Jiang Chen was very surprised to hear the name Flying Snow Palace.
Xiao Hongxue had been fighting and capturing cities on behalf of the Sovereign Spirit Palace. However, he’d named the Spiritual Land after himself.
Ye Qiu knew what he was puzzled about, so he explained the situation to Jiang Chen.
“The Endless Continent has changed the old configuration of the three great forces.”
“The forces led by the Sovereign Spirit Palace, the Martial Divinity Palace, and the Xias used to have their own territories, and they stayed in their own territories. However, later when the world was reorganized, the territory of one of the eight palaces of the Sovereign Spirit Palace was extended to the Eastern Wasteland.”
“Now, the three great forces might still refer to themselves as three giant forces, but they are definitely not divided up anything like equally anymore.”
“Since the end of the battle on the Alien Battlefield, Xiao Hongxue and his master, Long Xing, have been on bad terms for some unknown reason.”
However, Jiang Chen could guess what it was.
Xiao Hongxue had been so arrogant that he’d even intended to kill Lin Yueru and grab the immortal body that his master had been coveting.
And Xiao Hongxue knew his master’s secret too.
The two were looking out to see what they could gain from each other. Their master-apprentice relationship was just an empty charade.
Flying in the Star Water Boat at high speed, they arrived at Tianling Mountain, located in the Middle River.
They stopped the Star Water Boat in a remote area.
“Tianling Mountain is there. We’ll wait here as reinforcements, if you need us,” Ye Qiu said to Jiang Chen.
The process of saving Xuan Qing would go smoothly enough, but, once she was taken away, Xiao Hongxue would definitely find out pretty quickly because a living person was missing. A chase would be inevitable.
That was why Ye Qiu had brought this team with him.
“Let me handle it.”
Then Jiang Chen disappeared immediately.
Wang Lin, who was very disdainful about Jiang Chen, was struck dumb. He blinked his eyes.
He could not believe a Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage had vanished before him without a sign. However, he had seen it with his own eyes, so he had to believe it.
