Chapter 1519 - Failure to Escape
Jiang Chen did not have the time to choose which way to go. He just wanted to go as far away as possible.
The Buddha’s power aside, he was only a Martial Emperor. He absolutely could not resist a team composed of Martial Arts Saints.
Fortunately, only those three men were chasing him.
They were all as strong as the black-clothed man he had killed last time.
A bold idea occurred to him suddenly.
Previously, he had been able to use the Star Formation and the practicing body.
Now, however, he had three rivals. Jiang Chen had to plan it well.
All of a sudden, he made up his mind. Seeing a dense forest down below, he charged down and flew into the forest at high speed.
Before the chasers could get down as well, Jiang Chen flew up again from the forest and away.
The three chasers wondered why Jiang Chen had made such an unnecessary effort, but seeing him flying farther on, they also hurried up to keep pace with him.
Soon, Jiang Chen stopped, gasping for air.
“Run! Why don’t you run anymore?”
The three chasers kept smiling coldly. They thought Jiang Chen was too exhausted to keep flying.
“By the way, why do you want to catch me?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen really did not think he deserved this. He said, “If I really knew anything, you think they would have retreated like that?”
The chasers exchanged a look. It sounded reasonable to them.
“It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with us chasing you.”
“It’s our task to take you back. You understand?”
“If you give up resisting, it will save all of us a lot of trouble.”
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said with a small smile, “You are Martial Arts Saints. I’m only a Martial Emperor. What kind of trouble can I cause you?”
Then he lifted his defenses, as if he was waiting for them to catch him.
“Okay. It’s great you know that. You have really wasted a lot of our time.”
The three chasers felt relieved, but they also felt angry at the same time. They were not being nice to Jiang Chen at all.
One of them took a step forward to teach Jiang Chen a lesson.
“If your leader wants to collaborate with me, I’ll make my decision based on what you do to me.”
Jiang Chen spoke to them casually, as calm as always.
The man who was going to give him a beating was struck dumb. He struggled for some time and finally gave up his intention.
He went behind Jiang Chen to give the latter a hard push.
Surrounded by the three men, Jiang Chen was brought back to the mountains where the battle had been fought.
Ying Ying was not surprised at all to see Jiang Chen brought back.
In his opinion, it would be highly unusual if his men had failed to do that.
“If you had collaborated with us in the first place, nothing like this would have happened.”
Ying Ying smiled coldly. He said proudly, “Tell me. What’s your task? You don’t like to suffer from pain, do you?”
“No one likes pain. I’ll tell you what I know,” said Jiang Chen.
“What’s your task?” Ying Ying asked loudly.
“The remnants of the Empyrean Goddess.”
“What?!”
Jiang Chen’s answer seemed to be magic. It made Ying Ying and the others look shocked.
“Really?!” Ying Ying came up to Jiang Chen. A great pressure dashed toward Jiang Chen to shake him so that he would tell the truth.
“At least that’s what the disciples of the Demon Slayers Palace told me.”
Jiang Chen answered him calmly, not affected by fear.
“Where are the remnants?”
Ying Ying took a deep breath to calm himself down. Only the excitement in his eyes told the true story.
“I have no idea.”
Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed Ying Ying’s hideous look. He added, “If I really knew anything, they would not have left me behind like that.”
Ying Ying nodded, seemingly pondering something. Then he said, “Tell me more details.”
Jiang Chen did not try to conceal anything. He told Ying Ying all that he knew.
He did not have an obligation to keep the secret for those people, especially after they had abandoned him and left him alone.
“So, you, as a Buddhist disciple, your task was to empower them, wasn’t it?”
Ying Ying nodded. He said loudly, “Okay. Listen to me. From now on, you are working with a new group.”
