This young girlâs name was Qing Xian, and she took Jiang Chen to meet her master while harboring indescribable feelings.
Jiang Chen was quite surprised when he witnessed Mister Wo Longâs state. He was aware that he wasnât in a good state, but he didnât expect that it was this grave. It wasnât as if he couldnât move, because even though he was bedridden, he still seemed vigorous and healthy.
However, if one observed him carefully, one would notice that his gaze was vacant, while his expression was dull. Someone must have forcefully searched his memory and damaged his brain. As he thought back to the fact that the All Saints Sect had stolen the Holy Skill, as well as Qing Xianâs attitude toward them, he could roughly guess what had happened.
âMy masterâs state is becoming worse as time passes. In the past, he was still able to sober up occasionally and teach my senior sister. But after my senior sister was captured, he turned into this present state,â Qing Xian said.
This was the reason why she had questioned Jiang Chen and asked him why he came here. If she Jiang Chen hadnât mentioned Fan Tianyinâs name, she wouldnât have brought him here.
âIs there only you left in the Sword Cottage now?â Jiang Chen asked.
âThat is right!â
âArenât you afraid of the All Saints Sectâs revenge?â
âMy master was their Guest Elder, and they announced that he suffered an evildoerâs attack, which was why they helped him settle here to show the great demeanor of a divine sect.â Qing Xian sneered coldly and spoke mockingly, âAs long as I donât utter a single word about the affair, they will protect the Sword Cottage and assure that no one will disturb it.â
âAre they aware that Fan Tianyin is your senior sister?â Jiang Chen asked.
âThey shouldnât be aware of that, what about it?â Qing Xian didnât understand why he raised such a question.
âI plan to attack the All Saints Sect, and it will be better for you to leave the Sword Cottage for the time being so that you wonât be implicated.â
âJust by yourself?â Qing Xian wanted to ask how he would carry out such an attack because since he stated that he was worried about the All Saints Sectâs revenge, it was obvious that he was confident in inflicting heavy losses on the All Saints Sect.
âThat is right!â It was a pity that Jiang Chenâs reply just bewildered her even more.
However, as she thought about it, she found it quite normal for Jiang Chen to be by himself because he came from the Three Lower Realms.
âItâs useless! My senior sister surely doesnât hope for you to go there to throw away your life,â Qing Xian said. She had assumed that Jiang Chen wanted to do it just to show his resolution and sacrifice himself to demonstrate something. Such actions were really too foolish!
âIâm well aware of the current situation,â Jiang Chen said.
After this, he inspected Mister Longâs state. It was really difficult to treat brain damage like this. Moreover, even if he managed to treat it, the patient would still lose a large part of his memory.
âYou have said that your master was previously able to sober up, didnât you?â
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen recalled what Qing Xian had said, and he got another idea. According to his experience, this meant that it wasnât Mister Wo Longâs brain that suffered irreversible damages, but that such symptoms were caused by something else. It could be caused by clogged blood or by mental stress. As long as he solved those issues, Mister Wo Long would start recovering gradually.
However, his treatment method gave rise to a long argument because Jiang Chen wanted to open Wo Longâs brain, which meant that he would need to split open his head. When he informed Qing Xian, she had pulled out her sword as he expected, and she warned him and forbid him from messing around.
Jiang Chen then just started pondering about Fan Tianyinâs matter, and he started carrying out his plan the next day. He didnât really have a great plan, and he just went to the Heaven Divine Cityâs Heavenly Mountain to look around.
The Heavenly Mountain was the All Saints Sectâs mountain, and it like this cityâs imperial palace. It had a special significance! The region right before the mountain was also the most prosperous district of the city, and many influential people could be seen everywhere here. Moreover, there were also many All Saints Sectâs disciples going through the road on the mountain.
Before the mountain was an expansive plaza, which was supervised by many disciples on patrol wearing stern gazes.
Ordinary people couldnât easily set foot here, and when Jiang Chen strode forward, many people looked at him.
âStop!â An All Saints Sectâs disciple near the mountain stopped him.
âWhat are you doing?â Another disciple shouted in a deep voice. He was wearing a stern look, which informed everyone clearly that he wasnât someone to be trifled with.
âI want to meet your sect master and have a chat with him,â Jiang Chen said.
The passers-by assumed that Jiang Chen would be scared away and didnât expect to hear such words. They were taken aback for one or two seconds, before they all burst out laughing.
Even the disciple who had shouted at him chuckled, but his gaze was still ice-cold.
âDid you assume that just anyone can come to our All Saints Sect to mess around?â He asked.
âIâm serious.â
âHa, ha, ha!â The All Saints Sectâs disciple couldnât help but laugh out loud.
âI will give you one last chance. It will be better for you to leave the plaza quickly,â the disciple shouted arrogantly and strode forward several steps while wearing a weird expression, which made one itch to give him a beating.
âFine!â Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and suddenly raised his hand and thrust his fist at that guyâs face.
The disciple ended up falling to the ground because Jiang Chen used too much power.
At this moment, this whole place descended into silence.
âD*mn!â Many noble young masters couldnât help but curse.
A person ran into the All Saints Sectâs guest plaza and beat a senior disciple to the ground. He surely wanted to create a disturbance!
Countless gazes fell upon Jiang Chen and examined him thoroughly.
âKill him!â A large amount of blood flowed out of the mouth of that All Saints Sectâs arrogant disciple, and he shouted angrily.
The other disciples in the plaza charged at Jiang Chen and attacked mercilessly. Jiang Chenâs previous actions were enough reason to kill him.
Moreover, the senior disciples here assumed that Jiang Chen wouldnât be too powerful because he was quite young, and they didnât imagine that he was a Star Venerable. This was why, in the twinkling of an eye, a large group of senior disciples fell on the ground and started screaming miserably.
Jiang Chen continued proceeding forward, as if he had just accomplished a trivial matter, which wasnât worth mentioning.
After a short while, sonorous bells echoed around the plaza, and dazzling radiance emanated from the mountainâs gate, while the stones on the plaza took on a red luster.
âItâs a formation!â People with discerning eyes were aware of what it was.
âDrop dead!â The arrogant All Saints Sectâs disciple laughed heartily. It was him who had activated the formation, and he wanted to burn Jiang Chen to death.
Jiang Chen didnât utter a single word and just moved toward the disciple and held him by his clothes. Just after this, he started walking toward those stones in front of the crowdâs unbelieving gazes.
âWhat do you want to do?â The disciple held by Jiang Chen was frightened.
Jiang Chen just turned a deaf ear to him and stepped on the red limestone and was immediately devoured by raging flames. A miserable screamed echoed among the flames.
âDid he go mad?â
The people here looked at each other in dismay. They didnât understand what Jiang Chen wanted to accomplish.
âLook over there!â
It was only after a while that someone realized that Jiang Chen had disregarded the flames thoroughly. Then they understood that Jiang Chen wanted to accomplish something great here. The senior disciples realized that they couldnât deal with such a person, and they all moved back.
When Jiang Chen was about to set foot on the flight of steps, an angry shout echoed from the mountain.
âDaring lad. You unexpectedly dare to commit a crime in our All Saints Sect!â
âSince you killed our sectâs member, you must pay for it with your blood.â
Two elders of the divine sect flew over and pounced on Jiang Chen as an eagle would pounce on a rabbit.
The crowd opened their eyes wide to see how Jiang Chen would deal with them.
âI came to discuss conditions,â Jiang Chen shouted loudly.
Jiang Chen started flying and waving his fists. He wanted to face the two All Saints Sectâs elders head-on!
Even though they werenât supreme elders, those two elders were still Almighty Experts, and, for someone as young as Jiang Chen, trying to face them wasnât any different than trying to hit a stone with an egg.
