Chapter 1490 - Empyrean Goddess’s Descendant
The next day, no one caused trouble for Jiang Chen.
The Devil-Slayer Palace’s territory was just one island, and that was why all the people in the courtyard had received the news that Jiang Chen had come here with a Sovereign.
They realized then that Jiang Chen’s previous claims weren’t an exaggeration.
But this didn’t change the fact that Jiang Chen’s trip into the Demonic Abyss was no different than seeking death.
Since he was supported by a Sovereign, why didn’t he look for a Martial Saint to protect him?
The crowd couldn’t understand this, but they also didn’t want to bother with clarifying it. They just ignored it because it wasn’t related to them.
Jiang Chen didn’t care what other people thought, and, since he was idle with nothing to do, he went to the location of the Mysterious Gate..
A man with a knife scar on his face stepped forward.
This man and his companions were like-minded adventurers, and they would always make appointments to assemble together to make their way through forbidden lands and enter ancient ruins.
After they had accumulated enough wealth, they came to the Devil-Slayer Palace, because they wanted to travel and train in the Demonic Abyss.
Their unyielding, staunch characters didn’t allow them to lower their heads to this arrogant guy.
“You aren’t willing to give in? Don’t you believe that a mere word from me will drive you out of here? They won’t even give you back the fees you have paid,” the blue-clothed man sneered coldly and spoke.
“I don’t believe that the Devil-Slayer Palace members are so unreasonable,” the man with a knife scar spoke angrily.
“Fine, Second Elder, those few people insulted the Empyrean Goddess’s descendant and didn’t show any respect for the Empyrean Goddess. Why don’t you inform the Devil-Slayer Palace of this matter?”
The blue-clothed man waved his hand at them in dismissal, as if he was driving away several insignificant flies.
“Okay!”
The old man also didn’t have any principles, and he sided with his family’s young master.
He turned into a light beam and left the plaza.
The expression of the man with a knife scar and his companions changed drastically, and they realized that the situation was anything but reassuring.
When the onlookers witnessed that the affair was becoming graver, some of them rejoiced in the other people’s misfortunes, while most of them shook their heads helplessly.
“Wolf Tooth Team’s members are too impulsive. Someone who can walk with the Devil-Slayer Palace’s core disciples is surely anything but simple.”
“That blue-clothed man seems like a prince from the Xia Clan.”
“A prince? Why don’t you explain it clearly, is he a royal prince or an imperial prince?”
“An imperial prince.”
A royal prince was a prince of one of the 36 states governed by the Xia Clan.
An imperial prince was from the Xia Clan’s imperial dynasty, and he had a respected status.
The discussions of the people in the vicinity made the expressions of the man with a knife scar and his companions become unsightly, while the blue-clothed man became more and more pleased with himself.
After a short while, the Second Elder came back, and he even brought with him a middle-aged man who was the Devil-Slayer Palace’s deacon.
“Prince Feng Yu, is it them?”
The deacon wore a humble look as he looked at the blue-clothed man, but when he looked at the knife scar man, he revealed a ferocious look.
The blue-clothed man answered calmly.
“You should pack your stuff and leave this place before noon,” the deacon spoke coldly.
“On what basis?” The knife scar man wasn’t willing to accept this.

“You have insulted the Empyrean Goddess’s descendant and profaned the Empyrean Goddess. Moreover, you have even done it in front of the Mysterious Gate, and this is a grave crime. It’s already kind of me to allow you to leave safe and sound,” the deacon shouted.
“What about the fees we have paid?” The knife scar man’s companions planned to concede.
“They would be obviously taken as amends from you,” the deacon said.
“Hateful!”
The small team’s members were infuriated. Their dignity had been trampled on. They had already become martial-grade experts, yet they still couldn’t keep from suffering such an ordeal.
“Hey, aren’t you bullying them a bit too much?”
As this affair neared its end, a voice echoed out. It wasn’t loud, but everyone could clearly hear it.
It was Jiang Chen’s voice. He had watched the entire sequence of events, and he couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Is he asking for death? He spoke at such a time! He really doesn’t have good judgment.”
