The Brilliant Fighting Master

Jiang Chen neatly deflected Ye Xue’s questions about his age.

They wandered among the glaciers. At Ye Xue’s request, Jiang Chen took her to the path he used to walk on when he had been troubled by their relationship. He’d been misunderstood by Ye Xue and heartbroken at the thought that he might never see his apprentice sister again.

Listening to Jiang Chen’s story, Ye Xue felt guilty and wanted to do everything she could to make it up to her apprentice brother.

Jiang Chen whispered something in her ear.

Ye Xue’s lovely face blushed deeply after hearing what he’d said. She asked, “How would that work?”

Looking at the crafty smile on Jiang Chen’s face, Ye Xue coyly acquiesced to his outrageous request.

Immediately after, Ye Xue thought of something and said solemnly, “Apprentice brother, back then you were completely focused on becoming stronger so that you could go back to the Sacred Zone. Why were you so persistent about me then?”

She felt a little shy.

Jiang Chen knew something had happened, seeing how she’d reacted.

“After the formation of the Endless Continent, the Heavenly Defense Field occupied by the Heavenly Palace was moved to a treasured place at a perfect location that was filled with spiritual energy. Even the territory was expanded a great deal.”

“Oh?” Jiang Chen knew that a twist was coming.

Sure enough, Ye Xue told him about all the recent changes.

There were three more power groups in the Heavenly Defense Field now. They were the Barbarians, the Jet Black Snakes, and the Wizard Race that had previously had conflicts with Jiang Chen.

They had come from the World of Meson, which was backward and almost unknown. No one knew that it was one of the broken pieces of the Nine Realms. And that it would become a part of the Endless Continent and one of the most precious lands of the Middle River.

“At first, these three groups had clear borders with the Heavenly Palace, and everyone honored a mutual noninterference pact. At that time, the Heavenly Palace was one-third larger than it is now.”

“And then?” Jiang Chen wanted to know the crucial part.

Ye Xue told him that a group’s chances to rise now depended on if it had a Venerable Sovereign rather than a solid foundation and real strength. A Venerable Sovereign was the most effective weapon.

Wu Ming, Jiang Chen’s master, had had another breakthrough and become a Venerable Sovereign.

However, the three groups originally from the World of Meson had also raised Venerable Sovereigns successively. Three versus one, the Heavenly Palace was obviously at a disadvantage.

The Divine Tree of Creatures couldn’t exercise its tremendous power like before when it was constantly coming up against these three Venerable Sovereigns.

The three groups could have very likely invaded and destroyed the Heavenly Palace if it hadn’t been for the Devil Slaughter Tower and the tactical formation set up by Jiang Chen.

“Now the world is not separated into top and bottom levels. Being on one horizontal plane, the teleportation formation between the Heavenly Palace and the Celestial Palace isn’t functioning anymore.”

It was only to be expected that the teleportation formation set up by Jiang Chen based on the original land forms stopped working after the changes to the world.

Ye Xue had thought that Jiang Chen would never sit idly by if he’d known about the situation of the Heavenly Palace.

“The three groups have become more and more ambitious and they want to take over the Heavenly Defense Field. At first, they only stole resources, then they started to rob by force. In the end, they even hurt the disciples from the Heavenly Palace in the name of requisitioning things,” Ye Xue said.

“Understood.” Jiang Chen learned the gist of the problem, and he sneered and said, “Apprentice sister, let’s change our direction to pay a visit to these three groups.”

Ye Xue was somewhat surprised by Jiang Chen’s proposal. Looking at the contemptuous smile on Jiang Chen’s face, she had an uneasy feeling.

Based on how well she knew Jiang Chen, things were going to be bloody from now on.

Nevertheless, Ye Xue would also like to see that.

“Apprentice brother, let me see what you’re really capable of,” Ye Xue thought.
