The Jiang familyâs troops came over imposingly, and stopped in the sky above this region.
Black armored guards rushed out of the war chariots like a flood, and sealed off all corners of this region.
The Great Venerable descended slowly along with several Celestial Venerables. Each personâs gaze was ice-cold, and they all wore an apathetic expression.
âItâs really interesting!â Young Master Shenji didnât expect that this matter would develop to such a point, and he planned to watch calmly such an interesting show.
He wasnât a person, who would wish for Jiang Chen to die so that he could rise above others, but he still was happy to witness Jiang Chen suffering bad luck.
âYoung Master Feng, calm down,â Tian Ling transmitted her voice to him, jumped on top of the pavilion, and faced the Jiang familyâs people fearlessly.
âJiang familyâs senior, I got the Martial Emperorâs protection when I founded the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, and all factions mustnât us disturb regardless from which reason it stemmed,â Tian Ling said.
She was just a Celestial Venerable, and seemed frail and weak in front of the Jiang familyâs troops, but the Martial Emperor mentioned by her let the outer party became quite apprehensive.
âWe can wait for you to finish holding the Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs event for how long you want. We can wait until tomorrow, the day after it, or for a month, and we will all along wait here.â
The Jiang familyâs Great Venerable was a middle-aged man, and it could be seen from his ice-cold face that dealing with him wasnât easy .
âMay I ask why are you taking such actions?â Tian Ling asked again.
The previous words were uttered by her while standing in Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs side, but it was obvious from this question that she wanted to meddle in their affairs.
âMiss Tian Ling, do you want to stand out for him?â The Jiang familyâs Great Venerable spoke coldly.
The people in the institute became worried, if Tian Ling insisted in meddling in this matter, it would be unknown what would occur.
The Jiang family already gave them due respect, and was willing to wait until the end of Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs event, or else, he could just order them, and the institute would be surely destroyed.
âYour Jiang family really dispatched great troops just to deal with a trifling Spiritual Venerable like me,â Jiang Chen shouted loudly now, as he didnât want to cause trouble for Tian Ling.
The Jiang familyâs experts in the surrounding immediately used their gazes to put pressure in him.
The Civil and Martial Arts Institute wasnât affected, but Jiang Chen could still felt a mountain-like pressure on him, and it seemed like it wanted to crush his body.
Jiang Chen sucked in a breath of air, closed his eyes, and roused the killing intent left in his body by Bai Ling.
When he opened his eyes again, the killing intent in his eyes frightened even the Great Venerable in the sky, while the other experts suffered the consequences of their actions, and their faces turned pale.
âTerrifying!â
The Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs people felt like Jiang Chen turned into a prehistoric ferocious beast, and was about to kill all living beings in front of him.
âMiss Tian Ling, how many hours are left until the end of the Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs event?â Surprise flickered in the Great Venerableâs eyes, but he was still calm and apathetic, and didnât care about him.
Tian Ling hesitated slightly, and said, âIt already reached the second section, however, even after it ends, you are still not allowed to harm Young Master Feng.â
âIs it?â
A faint smile appeared on the corners of the Great Venerableâs mouth, and he spoke in a deep voice, âAfter half an hour pass, kill all people who hinder the Jiang family, and help the murderer.â
âKill all of them! Kill all of them!â The Jiang familyâs black armored guards raised their hands, and shouted loudly. Their shouts were so resonant that they reached the firmament, and their killing intent engulfed the whole city.
âAccording to what I know, the longest event held by the Sacred Martial Arts Institute took just half an hour. I donât care how long passed since it started, but it still must end after half an hour.â
The Great Venerable looked at Tian Ling, and spoke coldly.
He didnât plan at all to reason with them since the beginning, and he didnât want to give any explication. This was how overbearing was a great faction, they didnât need to provide any reason for killing people.
âJiang familyâs senior, Young Master Feng traveled today along with my Heaven Martial Arts Clubâs Li Bai, but the latter was unaware of the formerâs crimes. Please have trust in this,â Li Baiâs elder brother shouted loudly.
The Great Venerable just squinted his eyes, and didnât reply, which caused the Heaven Martial Arts Clubâs people to become restless.
The Heaven Martial Arts Club wasnât one of the Nine Territoriesâ great faction, and it could take a leading role just in the Wing Prefecture, and was weak and powerless in front of the Jiang family.
Li Bai lowered his head. He knew that he made a grave mistake, and aspiring into Club Masterâs position was already hopeless for him.
âSenior, please listen to my words,â Tian Ling spoke in displeasure.
The Great Venerable didnât reply, as he didnât care about her at all, and he wouldnât pay attention to her.
âTian Ling!â At this moment, a black armored handsome youth slowly descended from among the Jiang familyâs troops.
âJiang Zhe!â
The Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs people, as well as the audience, all went into an uproar when they saw this person. He had a tall body, which let him seemed impressive while wearing such a black armor, and he had a solemn look, sword-like brows, and eyes, which shone like stars.
Moreover, it was needless to mention how outstanding were his bearings since he was a Jiang familyâs disciple.
He wasnât from the Wing Prefecture, but he still caused such an uproar in the city, and it was obvious that he was a true man of the moment, and all people in the ten prefectures knew him.
âJiang Zhe!â
Tian Ling was surprised when she saw him, and delight appeared on her face, while she was about to talk with him.
âToday, he must die,â Jiang Zhe spoke before her, and said, âPlease donât meddle in this matter for me.â
When they heard his words, the crowd thought back of the rumors about them. They were both appreciated by the Martial Emperor, and were called the Three Middle Realmsâ golden boy and jade maiden, and there were many rumors about them.
Tian Ling lowered her head in disappointment, before she spoke resolutely, âYoung Master Feng mustnât die, and he mustnât, even more, be killed.â
She didnât care about whether the Jiang familyâs Great Venerable would listen to her or not. She said, âThe Martial Emperor once instructed me to take in a disciple for him if I find someone especially outstanding while holding the Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs events.â
âIt seems like you really want to help him.â
The Great Venerable opened his eyes, and looked at both of her and Jiang Chen, âHow do you think will the Martial Emperor feel if he knew that you used his prestige to meddle in other peopleâs affairs?â
âIs even someone like him qualified to become the Martial Emperorâs disciple?â Jiang Zhe was displeased greatly by the fact that she protected Jiang Chen.
âYoung Master Feng already made two divine pieces of art in two sections, and if he can make the last one, he would have made three divine pieces of art in all three sections. May I ask whether this person is qualified?â Tian Ling said.
Everyone was shocked by her words. It was only the people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, who were aware of the divine pieces of art matter, and it was only on the day after would such news spread out, yet it was divulged early on due to the Jiang family.
âHim?â When Jiang Zhe heard such words, he finally looked at Jiang Chen, but he shortly furrowed his brows.
âA Spiritual Venerable?â He uttered those three words in a disdainful tone.
âHis pieces of art?â
Even if the Great Venerable was more arrogant than this, he would still not dare to oppose the Martial Emperor, thus, he must verify whether Tian Lingâs words were true.
âHateful, will he really manage to survive just due to this.â Young Master Shenji was quite dissatisfied.
Tian Ling energetically brought Jiang Chenâs painting and calligraphy piece to the sky, and spoke excitedly, âThose are two divine pieces of arts, and as long as the last...â
She didnât manage to finish his words as she was dumbfounded. She witnessed the Jiang familyâs Great Venerable snapping his fingers, as Jiang Chenâs painting and calligraphy piece were torn to shreds, and were utterly ruined.
âIâm really sorry, but I still didnât see where are the divine pieces of art,â the Great Venerable said.
âHaha!â
There were people, who couldnât help but burst out laughing, when they witnessed such a scene. The Jiang family was really powerful.
All people adored might and power, and the Jiang familyâs arrogant and unruly actions subdued many peopleâs hearts.
âYou all!â
Tian Ling felt like her heart would shortly bleed. Divine pieces of art, those were divine pieces of art.
All people in the Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâ shook their heads regretfully, and they looked at Jiang Chen with a gaze filled with pity.
