Chapter 1425 - Settling Accounts
“Why has the passage been closed? My son still hasn’t come out.”
“Tang Ziming, where are you? Come out quickly! Please don’t scare me.”
“I shouldn’t have allowed you to participate in the Ancient Ruins trial.”
Many aggrieved cries came from the mouths of several elders who were having a hard time getting control of themselves. Most of these people wore gloomy expressions and gasped for breath, while their eyes shone with an ominous glint.
“No one is allowed to leave!”
Some people realized that the situation was getting out of hand, and they had planned to leave. They didn’t expect that a deafening shout would then echo all around.
Just after this, a drum sound could be heard, while a majestic fighting spirit erupted. Several military flags were stuck in the ground, and they shot out interlinked light beams made of energy that encircled everyone. Everyone was now stranded.
A worse matter shortly occurred. It was unknown who spread the information in the sky, but many aggrieved factions’ members got to know that their outstanding disciples had been killed by Jiang Chen, and they immediately encircled him.
At this moment, it could be said that Jiang Chen was facing all three great factions’ encirclement.
“Duan Yun, move away,” a Monster-Slayer Palace’s elder shouted because Duan Yun belonged to the Sovereign Spirit Palace, and he was in the same camp as they were.
A while ago, someone had informed the elder that Su Yue and the other four disciples had been killed by Jiang Chen and Miss Bai.
“You’re done for, Jiang Chen.”
“Rules are set by people, while Jiang Chen offended the person who set the rules. What could be said about this other than he was courting death?”
“We will get to watch a good show.”
The spectators discussed this matter, and they awaited this affair’s next development.
“I have also killed several insensible people in the Ancient Ruins. Will you also settle accounts with me?” Ao Yue wore an ice-cold expression and went to Jiang Chen’s side. She faced all the factions with him!
“The ninth princess?”
When the people who had planned to attack witnessed Ao Yue’s arrival, they controlled their impulses.
“Ninth princess, our Xia Clan treated your clan’s members as honored guests. So your Dragon Clan should also respect the Xia Clan,” Meng Luohe shouted.
Ao Yue cast a glance at Meng Luohe and spoke in mockery, “Can you represent the Xia Clan?”
Upon hearing this, Meng Luohe got angry, but his wariness was still apparent in his gaze.
“Ninth princess, he has killed my most outstanding disciple. You should inform us clearly about your relationship with him. Our Monster-Slayer Palace won’t drop this matter if you don’t do so,” the Monster-Slayer Palace’s elder said angrily.
“Your members are obviously here…” Ao Yue didn’t give this matter a single thought and was about to expose Miss Bai. But when she noticed Jiang Chen’s meaningful glance, she could only give up on this matter.
All of a sudden, Ao Yue held Jiang Chen’s hand tightly, and he could feel something soft pressing against his arm.
“He’s the man I have chosen, and, if you attack him, you will become my Golden Dragon Clan’s enemy,” Ao Yue uttered shocking words that gave rise to an uproar.
Since such a statement had already been given, if someone attacked Jiang Chen, he would end up becoming an enemy of the Golden Dragon Clan. Moreover, the crux of the issue was that their side was in the wrong, and, if this hadn’t been the case, the situation would have been different.
“Fine, I will give the Golden Dragon Clan due respect.”
Some people clenched their teeth and left. They were forced to leave by the circumstances.
After a short while, the only remaining factions that weren’t willing to leave were the Monster-Slayer Palace and Wu State.
“Since this is the case, hand over that monster,” the Monster-Slayer Palace’s elder would only settle for the second-best thing and take Miss Bai.
