âThe martial-grade masters have joined the fight!â
The onlookers were exhilarated. Watching martial-grade masters fight was already a real treat for them, no matter which side was right.
Ever since the change of the world three years ago, people from the Flying Dragon Dynasty, or, should we say, the Three Lower Realms, were no longer ignorant about what was going on in the world. Their exposure to current events had increased hugely.
Crowds would gather to watch whenever there were fights between martial-grade masters.
Disregarding the regulations about flying, many people would fly up in the air, attempting to see what was going on.
This time, before they could get a close look, two shadows shot out of the door. It was the two martial-grade masters whoâd just stepped in.
Their domineering presence from just moments ago had disappeared completely. Their flaccid bodies crashed through the walls and lay unconscious on the ground.
No one had any idea what was going on.
In the tall building across the street, Luo Feng and Fang Min glanced at each other with their mouths hanging open, realizing that theyâd started a big mess.
Ashen-faced, the Officerâs limbs went numb.
It was some time before he issued the order to his subordinates: âEveryone, drop your weapons!â
The strongest force in the Flying Dragon Dynasty had been defeated so easily. It meant that they couldnât keep looking for trouble.
Instead, they should now focus on how to defuse the other sideâs anger. Otherwise, the entire Flying Dragon Dynasty could be facing catastrophic destruction.
âI told you. Donât act recklessly.â Du Zhenfei was itching to kill the Officer to release his anger.
âI...I didnât know.â The Officer knew there were no excuses for his stupid behavior. His low state of awareness had restricted his ability to think. His vision was limited to what went on within the Flying Dragon Dynasty.
Heâd thought the Tang family couldnât have anyone with extraordinary abilities.
At that moment, the door of the Tang Mansion opened slowly. A figure walked out.
Everyone knew that this was the person whoâd just demonstrated tremendous power.
âItâs Tang Fanâs Master!â
Many people whoâd been guests at the Tang Mansion the day before recognized him and suddenly understood what was happening.
They felt an unexpected shock.
Everyone was thinking, âWhat had Tang Fan done to deserve having such a master take him on as an apprentice?â
âNo wonder he said those things. Why, why didnât I put up with it for one more day?â
Among everyone watching this turn of events, Fang Min had the most complex feelings about the current developments. Even though sheâd known that Tang Fan was becoming an apprentice of some master, sheâd thought it was a joke when sheâd seen the masterâs young face.
Surprisingly, the person who looked around the same age as Tang Fan had had such spectacular strength.
Du Zhenfei and Qiu Yan exchanged a look, reading the same thought in each otherâs eyes.
They both found something in the young guyâs face familiar, as if theyâd met him somewhere before.
Knowing they were having the same thought, a name came to their minds at the same time.
Only that person would have this kind of terrifying ability.
As for why heâd become so young-looking, Du Zhenfei and Qiu Yan werenât at a high enough level to be able to speculate.
âFrom this moment on, the Lying Dragon Clique is banished thousands of miles away,â Jiang Chen spoke loudly. He was talking to everybody, rather than to someone in particular.
The whole capital city could hear him.
Calling up all his courage, the Officer said, âSenior, this is an internal affair of our Flying Dragon Dynasty. You understand?â
The Officer was thinking that Jiang Chen didnât look too vicious after all.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and waved a hand. The Officer met the same fate as the guards who had been killed before.
âGeneral Du, go now to eliminate all the members of the Lying Dragon Clique. Anyone who dares to obstruct you, kill without mercy,â Jiang Chen ordered.
âMay I ask whose order I will be following?â Du Zhenfei asked, even though he already knew the answer in his heart.
âThe Marquis Champion,â Jiang Chen said, revealing his identity.
The entire capital city went into an uproar.
âThe Marquis Champion? Heâs back?â
âYes, sir!â Du Zhenfei was beyond thrilled. Right away, he put his people to work following Jiang Chenâs orders.
âCr*p!â
Inside the tall building, Luo Feng was flummoxed. He hadnât expected that his revenge on behalf of his lover would cause such consequences.
If the Lying Dragon Clique was truly defeated and expelled, heâd definitely be doomed.
Nonetheless, they appeared to have run out of steam. He was too powerless to do anything but run away as fast as he could.
âLuo Feng, what should I do?â Fang Min was equally at a loss. She grabbed Luo Fengâs sleeve helplessly.
âWhy should I care!â Luo Feng pushed her away hard, fleeing at full speed.
âD*mn, d*mn.â Fang Min regretted the decisions sheâd made deeply. Her life wouldâve been entirely different if she hadnât rushed to the Tang Mansion earlier.
It was all too late to say anything now.
Jiang Chen exchanged smiles with Qiu Yan and said, âTake me to see Fei Yue.â
âOkay.â
Qiu Yan said a few words to her bodyguards, then led Jiang Chen to the Palace, ignoring the drama unfolding in the capital.
âJiang Chen, having you as a brother is the proudest thing in my life,â Qiu Yan said sincerely.
âI would never have been where I am right now if it hadnât been for your care.â Jiang Chen laughed happily.
âCome on, people like you would be able to triumph no matter what kind of circumstances they were in,â Qiu Yan said.
Chatting delightedly, the brother and sister reached the Palace before they knew it.
âThe Empress is confined deep inside the Palace.â Speaking of this serious matter, Qiu Yanâs face turned somber.
âWho confined her?â
âThe members of her cabinet were unanimous. Because as the Empressâs situation got worse, the devil inside her was becoming stronger.
âThe cabinet left no stone unturned. Even if we gave up on the Empress, her devil inside would still have been able to make itself more powerful.â
Hearing this, Jiang Chenâs face became grave.
Shortly after, the two arrived at a bamboo forest in the depths of the Palace.
âThis is the forbidden land. Go away quickly.â The bamboo forest was guarded by the best experts in the Flying Dragon Dynasty.
âYou need to leave.â Just after Jiang Chen said this, an invisible wind knocked all the hidden protectors outside.
âWhat happened?â Feeling dizzy, the protectors were frightened and confused when they reappeared in places completely different from where theyâd been.
Getting rid of them had been like childâs play for this guy.
âHeâs with Qiu Yan. Could that mean that the Marquis Champion has come back?â
âHow could the Marquis Champion have become so exceptionally powerful?â
After thinking about it for a long time and hesitating, the protectors decided that they didnât dare enter the bamboo forest again.
Jiang Chen slowed down and instructed Qiu Yan to stay where she was.
There was an intense demonic energy here that could easily infect ordinary people.
âBe careful,â Qiu Yan reminded him, although she felt that that was probably unnecessary. Fei Yue would be the one who needed to be careful.
Grinning, Jiang Chen walked up to the windowless stone house.
Instead of entering the house through the door, he entered with the Great Method of Void.
He saw Fei Yue straight away.
Standing in a kind of wobbly manner in the middle of the house, her head was down and her hair covered her face. It looked as if she could fall at any minute.
It was her outfit that caught Jiang Chenâs attention. The familiar battledress.
Wearing the tight battledress, she stood on the floor barefoot. Her feet were flawless, without any calluses or wounds, almost like a newbornâs.
Two long silk ribbons wrapped around her lean, long, straight legs.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt a flicker in his heart. His eyes locked on Fei Yueâs right leg.
