The Brilliant Fighting Master

The Wizards were the first to leave. Soon, the other two groups originally from the Worlds of Meson, the Jet Black Snakes and the Barbarians, also left.

None of them said anything at this time, but their angry faces suggested that this was not over yet.

“You are going to have to rely on yourself at the time of the Spiritual Land Battle,” Mrs. Yang said. Then she left with those from the Sacred Institute.

“Jiang Chen, how did you make the Sacred Institute agree to help us?”

Seeing all the teams leave, one after another, Wu Ming realized that the incident seemed to have been closed for the moment.

What puzzled him was Mrs. Yang’s attitude. Her standpoint had obviously changed.

“After all, the Nether World School doesn’t exist anymore. Without their influence, it will all be a mere game of self-interest,” said Jiang Chen.

“You have news of Xuan Qing?” Jiang Chen answered a question with a question.

Xuan Qing had been taken into the Demon City back at the time before the battle, and no one knew whether she was dead or alive. He never saw Xuan Qing during the battle afterward. Even though he’d wanted to find her, he didn’t know where to look for her.

“We thought Xuan Qing had been killed by the Demons, but later we found out that she wasn’t. She was saved by someone during the battle. But that someone who saved her wanted to receive some kind of benefit from the Heavenly Bestowal Woman, so he had her arrested.” Ye Qiu recounted all the important information.

“Who was that?” Jiang Chen asked in an emotional voice.

“Xiao Hongxue!”

“The guy who was always yelling about how he had been recognized by the Natural Law?” That person had left a very bad impression on Jiang Chen.

“Yes.”

“What are you waiting for then? Can’t you from the Demon Slayers Palace ask him to give Xuan Qing back to you?”

“We started in on that as soon as we heard about it. We’ve been trying over the past year. But we don’t have any solid evidence. Every time we tried to act to rescue her, Xuan Qing would be transferred somewhere else.”

Ye Qiu said helplessly, “This time we’ve got more information. Xuan Qing is being kept on Tianling Mountain.”

“You want Jiang Chen to go to her rescue with you?” Ye Xue spoke for the first time.

“No. We hope Jiang Chen can go to her rescue alone,” said Ye Qiu with a bitter smile.

Ye Qiu added as Ye Xue seemed to be turning cold, “Every time we’ve approached them, we’ve been found out. And then she was immediately transferred. We are really at our wits’ end. So, we were hoping that Jiang Chen could put in place a surprise attack.”

“Why do you think I can do it?” asked Jiang Chen.

“Once a person masters the Scripture of the Void of the Goddess of Empyrean, this person is able to come and go as freely as a ghost,” said Ye Qiu.

It turned out that the Demon Slayers Palace knew that Jiang Chen had received the Scripture of the Void in the Demonic Abyss.

“What about the defenses there?” Ye Xue asked.

“Xiao Hongxue doesn’t have the nerve to be too flagrant, so there won’t be any special protection from strong people. As long as Xiao Hongxue isn’t alerted, things will be easy.”

Ye Qiu said, “In the best-case scenario, Jiang Chen, you’ll be able to save her without Xiao Hongxue even realizing it.”

“Xiao Hongxue was already a Venerable Sovereign three years ago. What about now?”

Ye Xue would never have expected the best-case scenario to happen. Like Jiang Chen, she would always prepare for the worst-case scenario instead.

“Very strong. He is one of the best Venerable Sovereigns,” said Ye Qiu.

Ye Xue did not want Jiang Chen to go when she had heard this answer.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t look as if he was going to listen to her.

“I can’t force you. However, if, Jiang Chen, you think the risk is worth taking to save Xuan Qing, please just do it. If you don’t think it’s worth it, I’ll leave right away,” said Ye Qiu.

“To the outside world, Xuan Qing and I were a couple. So, if my woman is being kept in captivity and I don’t go to her rescue, won’t I be laughed at when others hear about it?”

Ye Qiu was relieved by Jiang Chen’s reply.

However, he noticed Ye Xue’s unhappy look. So, he bid his farewells after he and Jiang Chen had fixed a location to meet up.

“Ye Xue, she and I…”

Jiang Chen started to explain his relationship with Xuan Qing.
