The Star Venerable of the Constellation Palace looked downcast. Young
Master Xuanji died in his presence. If he couldnât get rid of Jiang Chen, he
would be punished.
The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace and the Martial Arts Divine School, who had
been eager to compete with the Constellation Palace to win Jiang Chen over,
gave up the idea for the moment.
If they were still willing to accept Jiang Chen, Young Master Xuanjiâs murderer,
at this moment, it would be nothing else but a declaration of war.
They werenât so resolute yet. Otherwise they would have tried their best to
protect Jiang Chen.
âJiang Chen, what did you do?!â
However, it was Lu Dingtian from the Sacred Martial Arts Institute instead of
the Constellation Palace who had cast the first stone.
He was happy and worried at the same time for such an incident.
He was happy because he knew Jiang Chenâs death was out of question,
while the worry was about Young Master Xuanjiâs death.
He would be in big trouble if the Constellation Palace started to investigate the
whole thing.
He didnât understand why no one from the Constellation Palace had tried to
save Xuanji.
He would have stopped Jiang Chen if he hadnât sincerely believed the
Constellation Palace wouldnât allow their disciples to be killed.
However, it was useless to bring this up since Xuanji had died.
âWhat did I do?â Jiang Chen asked seriously.
âYou killed a man from the Three Middle Realms!â Lu Dingtian shouted loudly,
irritated by Jiang Chenâs reaction.
âDidnât you see what he had done? Or, no one from the Three Middle Realms
should die, but I, Jiang Chen, should?â Jiang Chen asked.
He suddenly realized he had posed the same question for a million times.
It happened every time, that he became the one to blame. The only reason
was that no one thought his humble life was worth living.
You dodged the Flowing Light Needles successfully. You didnât have to launch
another attack. Lu Dingtian didnât speak it out, since he was under so many
peopleâs gazes and it didnât sound reasonable at all.
They were in the Holy Martial Arts City, where most powerful men from the
Realm of True Force gathered.
It was actually Young Master Xuanji who attacked first. It would be extremely
dangerous to piss the crowd off if he couldnât handle the situation well.
He had to bear in mind that all of those forces had once collaborated to
overturn the Sacred Institute.
He didnât want the Sacred Martial Arts Institute to end up the same.
âHe intended to kill me. That made it justifiable for me to kill him! Tell me. Am I
guilty?â
Ignoring Lu Dingtian, Jiang Chen walked to the edge of the platform. He
swept the sword towards the crowd.
The folks of the Three Lower Realms were petrified. Then a deafening uproar
broke out.
âNot guilty! Not guilty!â
Jiang Chen had won their respect. Besides, it wasnât difficult to tell who was
wrong in this affair.
They knew the Constellation Palace wouldnât let go of Jiang Chen and the
Sacred Martial Arts Institute would be in trouble.
However, they were just some onlookers. They wouldnât mind if the whole
thing got worse.
That being said, those people calmed down soon, because those forces
started to intervene.
âIt doesnât depend on you whether he is guilty. It depends on us!â
Star Venerable got to his feet. He came to the platform where Jiang Chen was
with a group of Celestial Venerables.
âKill yourself,â said Star Venerable in a cold voice.
âWhat if I say no? Will the Sacred Martial Arts Institute allow this to happen?â
Jiang Chen said.
Hearing Jiang Chen use him as a pretext, Lu Dingtian said, âJiang Chen, your
relation with Fan Tianyin isnât average. Itâs a sever crime that you helped her
break through to great Venerable. We planned to investigate this after the
Great Competition of Three Realms, but look at what you did.â
The Sacred Martial Arts Institute finally brought this thing up.
âJiang Chen, thatâs what I meant.â
The current scene made Tang Shiya surer that she hadnât made a wrong
decision. A smile finally showed up on her face.
âI have a question to ask the Sacred Martial Arts Institute. How come Fan
Tianyin ended up as a pirate?â
Jiang Chen looked as if he wasnât clear of the situation. Looking at the crowd
below, he said, âYou know the Marvelous Sound Robberâs real name?â
âShut up!â Lu Dingtian would in no way allow him to go on.
âHold on.â
The Flying Dragon Dynasty didnât lie to Jiang Chen. General Du Zhenfei acted
in time to take this attack.
âNo way!â
âWill the Flying Dragon Dynasty antagonize the Sacred Martial Arts Institute
for its Marquis Championâs sake?â
âThatâs courting death!â
The crowd went into an uproar. The situation of the Realm of True Force
would probably change because of Jiang Chen.
Precisely speaking, it would change because of the Flying Dragon Dynastyâs
elimination.
Jiang Chen, youâve got the Flying Dragon Dynasty into trouble even before
your death. If I were with you, wouldnât the Tangs end up the same?
Tang Shiya thought to herself.
âAre they dumb or what?â The Black Dragon General was puzzled.
Although Du Zhenfei was majestic, the Sacred Martial Arts Institute had sent a
great Venerable here this day.
He had been sitting there, resting with eyes closed. He looked like a very old
man who would soon stop breathing.
However, he didnât react to what was happening.
âThe Sacred Martial Arts Institute doesnât tell right from wrong. Neither do you
protect the disciples from the Three Lower Realms. And you've done people
great harm,â Du Zhenfei said loudly.
The crowd went into another uproar. They knew something big was about to
happen.
âDid you say that on behalf of the Flying Dragon Dynasty?â
The old man spoke for the first time, opening his eyes slowly.
Numerous people were gazing at Du Zhenfei, expecting his answer.
âYes.â
Du Zhenfeiâs answer created another uproar.
The Dragon Rebel Kingdom gloated. They had no idea why the Flying Dragon
Dynasty was doing this.
Flushing, Du Zhenfei said emotionally, âThe Sacred Martial Arts Institute has
been secretly supporting the Dragon Rebel Army, because they are afraid the
Flying Dragon Dynasty will get stronger. Many talented people of ours died on
battlefields. And the Realm of Milky and the Realm of Nine Heavens are also
in war.â
âDo you really think youâre the god of the Three Lower Realms and you can
have everything under your control?â
What he said were all known facts to the top management of all of the forces.
Many believers of conspiracy theories had also made such assumptions, but
they had never confirmed their guess.
That being said, they didnât see why Du Zhenfei had brought this up at this
moment.
No one would come forward for truth here.
âIt is acceptable for you?â
Looking at the silent crowd, Jiang Chen said loudly, âWhat if I tell you the
Sacred Martial Arts Institute have even meddled in the breakthrough to great
Venerable?â
âThe Marvelous Sound Robberâs real name is Fan Tianyin. I guess you are
familiar with this name.â
âFan Tianyin!â
The folks of the Three Lower Realms hadnât heard this name for a long time,
but they would never forget it. By then it had been mentioned again.
âShe used to be a member of the Sacred Martial Arts Institute. According to
her, the Sacred Martial Arts Institute is controlling the number of great
Venerables to secure their dominant position.â
âThey force those who have broken through to great Venerable to take a
blood oath. If they refuse, the institute will kill them immediately.â
âWhat?!â
This news came as a shock to the crowd.
It was even a shock for those from the Three Middle Realms.
âNonsense. Do you have any proof? Fan Tianyin? Where is she? Bring her
here.â
Lu Dingtian didnât panick. He even played a trick, trying to force Fan Tianyin to
show up.
âI donât care what grudges you have. Jiang Chen must die. Whoever helps
him or protects him will also die!â
Star Venerable was out of patience. His look was so sharp that it seemed he
was trying to kill Jiang Chen with it.
âAs long as I give the order, the great Venerable team will come here right
away.â
The great Venerable team!
The whole crowd were gasping for breath upon hearing these four words.
âTake it easy, Star Venerable. Let me handle this,â Lu Dingtian promised,
patting his chest.
So, Jiang Chen must die.
If the Flying Dragon Dynasty tried to meddle in, they would get themselves
into trouble, too.
âDid you just say you would kill my son?â
All of a sudden, a magnetic voice came from the air.
âIf you did, would you mind getting your own coffins ready?â
