“It took a lot of guts for you to make a scene here. I’m wondering why you did it,” Jiang Chen said coldly, gazing at the angry old man in the air, while throwing Gao Jin’s dead body away casually.
The old man’s face was heavily wrinkled, but except for that, others did not feel he was an old man at all, probably because his wide open eyes were glowing with anger.
He had long, flaming red hair, the luster of which would change with his mood.
Compared with the Martial Arts Saint reduced to a Blood Slave whom he had killed in the World of Bloody Sea, the man in front of him at the moment was much stronger.
But it was not a problem for Jiang Chen at all.
They were in the Heavenly Palace. The Divine Tree of Creatures, the Devil Slaughter Tower, and the tactical formation deployed by him could help him get rid of the enemy easily.
“You’ve committed a serious mistake!” However, it seemed the old man did not know anything about all that. He was still threatening Jiang Chen.
…..
At this moment, Jiang Qingyu and Gao Yue finally arrived. At the sight of the dead bodies and the chaos in the city, the couple realized right away what had happened.
Gao Yue very quickly explained to Jiang Chen about the aristocratic families of inheritance:
“Jiang Chen, aristocratic families are divided by bloodlines. And all families of the same bloodline should be loyal to the royal family of their bloodline.”
“Each aristocratic family used to have their hereditary rank in the royal family.”
“Although the aristocratic families are distributed in different worlds and are running their own forces, the royal family still has influence on them.”
“The royal family of the bloodline of the celestial phoenix used to stay in the Three Middle Realms. But they lost in a war competing for territory with other forces. Then they retreated to the World of Meson and no one had ever heard about them again.”
“Now, however, the royal family has laid their eyes on this continent. They want to come here to establish themselves.”
“In their eyes, we should be obedient and curry favor to them unconditionally.”
“But since it’s you who has this place and your father’s family has nothing to do with the celestial phoenix, the royal family has no justification if they just come and occupy this place.”
The inheritance the aristocratic families had was their precious bloodline. It was thanks to his genuine blood of the celestial phoenix that Jiang Chen experienced a close connection with fierce fire twice.
And in this way, he got the Flame Emperor’s approval and the chance to practice the Solar Golden Flame. Most important, his genuine blood had saved him twice from death also. It was fair to say his bloodline was as good as his special body.
However, in the Nine Realms, all the aristocratic families of inheritance were declining.
As a result, the royal family of the celestial phoenix was so shameless that they came as soon as Jiang Chen had won a sanctity-level continent in the Seventh Realm through war.
Since Jiang Chen had killed Gao Jin and Gao Ying, it gave the royal family a perfect excuse to act.
“They think they’ll get what they want this way?” Jiang Chen did not think it a big deal. “They had the perfect excuse to act, so what? Nothing would work if they were not strong enough.”
“The royal family got a chance in the World of Meson. They’ve been developing rapidly, not any worse than any sanctity-level force in the Seventh Realm.”
Gao Yue added, “The key is, many of the old generation of the Gaos are still very loyal to the royal family. So, different camps have been formed.”
“Don’t they know their family has no right to decide the ownership of this continent?” asked Jiang Chen.
“They don’t think you had the right to bring them here, so that they are so far away from their homeland now.” Gao Yue showed a bitter smile, shaking her head. She did not expect her family to bring so much trouble.
At this moment, Jiang Qingyu said through holy awareness, “Son, it is normal that a force has one or two fools, but there are more people who have sense. They should have anticipated how this incident would turn out. They must have prepared some kind of solution.”
Jiang Chen was lost in thought. “He had the Devil Slaughter Tower on his own territory, which could slay any Martial Arts Saint.
The Divine Tree of Creatures and the tactical formation could defend against large-scale attacks”.
Those were his trump cards that everyone knew about. As to what he had gained in the World of Bloody Sea, no one in the Nine Realms knew anything about it yet.
The question was, what kind of measure would the royal family of the celestial phoenix take?
The old man in the air had not done anything yet, although a long time had passed. He supposed the old man was communicating with the royal family.
The grand formation deployed by Jiang Chen could put a limit on communication. Especially in this unusual time, the limit level had been set up to the highest.
In theory, the enemy should not be able to communicate with people outside of this place.
Then Jiang Chen tumbled to a fact. The old man was not communicating with anyone outside. He was communicating with someone inside the formation area!
The Divine Prison Continent was the most spacious among all the spiritual lands of sanctity level. Its area could be compared to the total area of several continents owned by a giant force.
A one million people army could be hiding anywhere here without being found out!
“Whatever! I’ll take this old dog down first!” Jiang Chen made the decision. He flew into the air.
The old man was struck dumb. He did not expect Jiang Chen to take the initiative to attack him. “Didn’t he know he was a Martial Arts Saint? Or, was that terrifying Devil Slaughter Tower also here?!”
The old man looked toward where the Devil Slaughter Tower usually was. He felt relieved after confirming it was not there.
“Maybe this isn’t his true body?” The old man just could not figure out why a man would want to court death. It did not make sense.
“You are audacious,” the old man said, gazing at Jiang Chen, who was getting closer and closer.
Jiang Chen did not respond. He only kept advancing. His movements looked so familiar to those who had just witnessed Gao Ying’s death that they all got very nervous.
Going through all their minds was the thought, “Could Jiang Chen really kill a Martial Arts Saint? The answer was no. It was impossible.”
The Martial Arts Saint in front of him was even stronger than the Evil Blood Emperor, because he could not restrain the former with Buddhist scriptures.
However, you did not have to do everything in person. As the lord of the Heavenly Palace, he should act like a respectable and intimidating boss.
“Take him down. I want him to be alive,” said Jiang Chen.
No one knew to whom Jiang Chen was speaking.
The Martial Arts Saint concluded Jiang Chen was bluffing when suddenly a golden light bloomed. Then Azure Demon showed up.
At the moment he didn’t resemble a demon at all. He looked more like a god descending to the world. He looked so dignified that he seemed to be inviolable.
The Azure Demon approached the old man in an aggressive way. In the meantime, he had finished accumulating strength.
“Don’t you dare be so arrogant before me!” The old man was not easy to deal with. Sparks showed up in both of his hands. His mudra was completed in a second. The fierce flame was shaped into a fiery Qilin, which jumped out ferociously.
It put Azure Demon on his guard. He raised his hand to throw his palm over. The overwhelming palm power hit the fiery Qilin so hard that it exploded right away. Sparks splashed around in the air.
“Huh.” The old man curled his lip. He looked serious and ferocious.
The splashing sparks shaped into some small fiery Qilins again. Although they were small, they moved extremely fast. They jumped onto Azure Demon almost instantly.
The golden light surrounding Azure Demon’s body was burning madly. His crucial parts were also scratched and bitten.
However, Azure Demon stayed calm. He moved one hand downward and the other upward to press them together in front of his chest. Then, as his strength broke out like a torrential flood, all of the fiery Qilins were wiped out.
“How was that possible?” Not until then did the old man realize the situation was not favorable for him. His mudra could not hurt Azure Demon at all, which was unbelievable for him.
Facing such a situation, he chose to escape, which was actually a wise thing to do. He did not just run away by moving fast. Instead, he turned into a flame and disappeared from there.
However, how could Azure Demon allow him to do what he wanted. He jumped out.
Before the flame completely disappeared, he smashed it with great effort.
A tragic scream could be heard. The old man showed up again, more than five miles away. He tried very hard to keep himself from falling.
But Azure Demon had given him a good beating and he was at a disadvantage immediately.
“Son, this… this senior, who is he?” Absorbed in the fight, Gao Yue was shocked. Not only her, but most of the members of the Jiangs were shocked also.
“My subordinate…” In the air, Jiang Chen answered, “…and my comrade.”
