Thump!
The previously arrogant Ai Liang knelt on the ground. He remembered what Jiang Chen had said, and he kowtowed ceaselessly.
âI gave you a chance, yet you still wanted to cause a scene. Why did you need to do this?â Jiang Chen didnât pay any more attention to him and looked at the reunited Yao familyâs father and daughter.
âElder, have you suffered at their hands? How do you want to deal with the Thunder God Sect?â Jiang Chen handed over the final decision to them.
It was obvious that Yao Tianshi had suffered because a solemn cultivator like him had two big dark circles. This wasnât a normal occurrence!
âFrom now on, my Mysterious Thunder School doesnât have any relationship with the Thunder God Sect,â Yao Tianshi said bluntly. It was obvious that he didnât plan to destroy the Thunder God Sect.
âItâs us who were in the wrong at first, and we will offer you compensation,â Tian Lei said quickly, overjoyed at this realization.
Jiang Chen walked toward the kowtowing Ai Liang and looked down at him. âYou have come to try and take my life. How can I drop this matter without killing even a single person?â Jiang Chen said.
Ai Liang stopped kowtowing and fright appeared on his face. If Jiang Chen insisted on killing someone, then it wouldnât be anyone other than him. He was the one who had caused such a conflict. Ai Liang wasnât willing to accept this, and he deeply regretted his actions.
âYoung Master Jiang, please let Ai Liang off the hook. Our Thunder God Sect is willing to offer you our strongest lightning method,â Tian Lei said loudly.
Jiang Chen immediately recalled how powerful the Thunder God Sect had been in the past. They depended upon their strongest lightning method to get such great power.
âIsnât such an inheritance protected by a curse?â Jiang Chen didnât believe them.
âWe are willing to pay a considerable sacrifice for it.â
Jiang Chen clicked his tongue in wonder and looked at Ai Liang in surprise. He said, âDid you hear them? Your Thunder God Sect plans to sacrifice a doyen for you.â
Ai Liang was aware that this was true because if someone divulged the inheritance to someone else, he would be tormented by the curse until his death. Ai Liang regretted his actions even more, and his body started shivering.
âYoung Master, if you want it, I will immediately offer it to you,â Tian Lei said firmly.
âUncle Tian.â Ai Liang realized that Tian Lei wanted to sacrifice himself, and he panicked.
âStop trying to stir peopleâs emotions. This matter can be easily solved! I will tackle a difficult job and become a doyen of your sect. Then, you can then pass the lightning method to me,â Jiang Chen said.
Upon hearing this, the Thunder God Sectâs members exchanged a glance. This was a good solution! However, they were left speechless when they heard Jiang Chen say that he would tackle a difficult job.
âAs your doyen, the first thing I will do is abolish the rule forbidding you from teaching women. Donât talk to me about the tradition because I know it more clearly than you,â Jiang Chen said.
Tian Lei was forced to accept this matter because there were twelve Martial Saints standing outside.
âYoung Master Jiang, we will follow all of your instructions.â Those Martial Saints were quite considerate, and since they were aware that Jiang Chen wanted to deter the Thunder God Sect, they quickly spoke.
âThank the great master on behalf of me,â Jiang Chen said.
âYoung master, we still hope that you can speak with him for us.â
The Martial Saintsâ words dumbfounded Yun Zhongke, and he felt like something was wrong in this world.
No one had died due to his conflict with the Thunder God Sect, and this was the reason why Jiang Chen didnât attack them. After all, he had befriended the Thunder God Sectâs young miss in the past.
As for Ai Liang? After he was tormented by such an ordeal, his character changed greatly, and he wasnât as arrogant as before. He seemed like a scaredy-cat and was shivering with fear.
âBelieve me, this wonât be a mistake.â After Jiang Chen had dealt with this matter, he went toward Yao Yuntong.
âOkay!â
Yao Yuntong was also stunned by the twelve Martial Saints, and she realized what it meant to have remarkable abilities and power. âJiang Chen, you are too amazing!â Yao Yuntong praised him.
Yao Tianshi sighed with emotions. He didnât expect that he would be so easily able to get retribution for what had happened in the Three Middle Realms.
Yun Zhongke took advantage of the fact that none paid attention to him to slip away. But, when he just reached the staircase, Jiang Chenâs voice echoed. âPlease, thank young miss Lin for me.â
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongke stumbled and ended up falling from the staircase to the first floor.
On the way back, Yao Yuntong inquired who the great master was.
âI canât tell you that now,â Jiang Chen said.
Yao Yuntong curled her mouth. She was quite irritated because he didnât satisfy her curiosity. But, after she realized that Jiang Chen wouldnât tell her, she didnât pester him.
They had no further need of Tian Hu Hostel, but they still went back there.
People quickly managed to find out the result of the negotiation, and they went to a tremendous effort to get news about it. They realized that the negotiations werenât advantageous to the Thunder God Sect, and if this wasnât the case, the sect would have announced the results long ago. The crowd discovered that Jiang Chen had become the Thunder God Sectâs doyen and had abolished the rules forbidding them from teaching women. The people were bewildered by this, and couldnât make sense of this affair.
Later, they heard that twelve Martial Saints had appeared. The Martial Saints had intruded into the Thunder God Sect to save someone and had defeated the Sect Master! They all felt like they were listening to a fantasy story.
âIs it true?â This was most peopleâs first response after hearing the news.
When they ascertained that Jiang Chen and Yao Yuntong were safely walking around in Sky Reaching City, the crowdâs shock and surprise werenât any lower than their shock due to that nightâs sky battle had been.
âWho has said that Jiang Chen doesnât have any powerful backer? It seems to me like he has a great familial background.â
âIs he the disciple of a great faction who came out to temper himself, and itâs only in crucial moments that they intervene?â
âDid none of you notice a certain matter? No one who offends Jiang Chen has a good ending.â
The rumors related to Jiang Chen were becoming more and more ridiculous, and many assumptions about him appeared.
The people who had been targeting Jiang Chen now rejoiced in the fact that they hadnât attacked him. If they had done, it was unclear how dreadful the consequences would be.
....
After Jiang Chen had dealt with all his troubles, he could finally pass his days in peace.
Jiang Chen had gotten the strongest lightning technique, and it was a special technique which his Holy Skill didnât possess. However, there was still an issue because the Thunder God Sect had just the first three layers, and the rest were still in the Sacred Zone.
Even the first three layers were enough to help the Thunder God Sect get a lofty status, and they were anything but simple.
On this day, a piece of news spread from the Abundance Land Academy. It stated that Li Changqing had already left secluded cultivation.
Jiang Chen hadnât been interested in him at first, but someone said that he was pestering Ye Xue. Jiang Chen obviously couldnât allow him to do as he wanted.
âIsnât this person just among the Human Listâs top ten? Yet, he still dares to act arrogantly.â Even the top three had been beaten by Jiang Chen, yet this person was still acting recklessly.
âJiang Chen, he doesnât depend upon his Realm Level, but on his familial background,â Yao Yuntong said.
Yao Yuntong had already become a member of the Abundance Land Academy. Now, the Mysterious Thunder Schoolâs base had been displaced from the Three Middle Realms to the Sky Reaching Continent.
The Mysterious Thunder Schoolâs Master was Yao Tianshi, and he had invited Jiang Chen into the sect. Jiang Chen had declined tactfully and stated that he had other plans. Yao Tianshi didnât insist.
Jiang Chen really wanted to know more about Li Changqingâs familial background.
âIn the Heavenly Martial Arts Realm, the greatest authority one can get is holding power in the three great academies. This is the case for Li Changqing, and what is more important is that he still can affect Ye Xueâs pursuit over a spirit skill.â
Jiang Chen had already heard something about this matter.
