Uponhearing this, Jiang Moliang became worried. The status of those threeCelestial Venerables in the Jiang family wasn’t low. They once tried toadvance into the Great Venerable Realm, but they failed when they facedthe Tribulation Clouds. Moreover, since they were quite old, it wasobvious that they would stay just in the Celestial Venerable Realm.
However,they were nearly at the peak of the Celestial Venerable Realm and wereamong the most powerful people in that realm. They were known as theThree Mountains. They were known as the Three Mountains because theirnames were Jiang Yishan, Jiang Beishan, and Jiang Dongshan. The “shan”in each of their names meant “mountain.”
Jiang Moliang wasn’t amatch for any of them. Moreover, the critical point was that those threepeople would never bluff. It was especially the case for Jiang Beishan,who had spoken a moment ago. His face was filled with wrinkles, but hisgaze was still as sharp as ever. In her mind, he was a quiet person whowouldn’t deal with anything sloppily.
Another old man spoke. “TheBlood Oath’s fourteenth clause states that if you have done anythingthat will endanger the Jiang family or that will affect it greatly, theJiang family will be allowed to take necessary countermeasures.” Theyhad come here prepared and didn’t fear Jiang Chen using the Blood Oathas a s.h.i.+eld.
Jiang Chen knew this clearly. Thus, his expression became slightly grim. “What do you plan to do?”
“Elder,it’s Jiang Yan who was in the wrong first. So it’s unknown whether theBlood Oath will harm us or not,” Jiang Moliang spoke anxiously.
“Moliang,you allowed all of this to happen, yet now you are still speaking forhim? Did you do right by the Jiang family with your actions?” Thosethree people’s faces were unexpectedly filled with suspicion as they alllooked at her.
JiangMoliang was started, and she almost suffocated as she faced herfamily’s distrustful gazes. “Hand over the Alien Flame.” Jiang Moliangstrived hard to keep her calm while she still tried to satisfy bothsides.
“It’s out of the question.” Jiang Chen shook his head andlooked at the three old men. He spoke in a mocking tone. “Is the AlienFlame more important to you than Jiang Zhe’s life, or is the threat itwill bring to you while in my possession too great?” He had accuratelystated the Jiang family’s point of view, thus it was obvious that he hadconsidered this matter clearly.
“Jiang Yan stated that hewouldn’t take your life before attacking you. The fact that the AlienFlame went out of control was also not up to him, yet you still s.n.a.t.c.hedthe flame and caused his death. Do you still have face to argue back?”
“Thismatter can be judged according to whether the Blood Oath took effect ornot, and it isn’t up to you all,” Jiang Chen replied. The Blood Oathdidn’t flare out when he got the Alien Flame, thus it was obvious thathe hadn’t made any mistakes. If the Jiang family attacked him now, theywould risk Jiang Zhe’s death, yet it still seemed like those threepeople were willing to take such a risk. However, they would still justtake back the Sky-Burning Evil Flame and wouldn’t kill him.
“Sinceyou are willing to take such risks, I will accompany you and play withyou all.” As Jiang Chen spoke, the Holy Sea in his body startedbellowing, and evil flames erupted from his hands. He attacked in thesame way as Jiang Yan had. He smacked his hands against each other andformed a divine dragon with evil flames. The dragon then pounced atJiang Beishan.
“You managed to master using it to attack thisquickly?” Jiang Beishan’s look was grim. He wouldn’t dare to be carelesswhile facing such ferocious Alien Flames. He placed his hands in frontof his chest, and formless power fluctuations spread out from themtoward the fire dragon. When the fire dragon collided against them, heimmediately suffered the warping power’s brunt, but the evil flame stillmanaged to spread to Jiang Beishan’s surroundings.
Meanwhile,the other two Celestial Venerables charged at Jiang Chen from bothsides. Even though they were so old, their speed wasn’t slow. Theymanaged to reach Jiang Chen in just the twinkling of an eye.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Lightningflickered on Jiang Chen’s body, and he instantly disappeared from hisformer position. When he appeared once again, he had already distancedhimself from them by more than 1,000 meters.
“Well?” It seemed like those two people were both surprised by the fact that a Spiritual Venerable like him was that fast.
“Isthis a Holy Skill?” After Jiang Beishan extinguished the Alien Flame,he closed in on Jiang Chen. He said, “Lad, aren’t you too greedy? Youalready have Holy Pulses, yet you still want to have an Alien Flame?There isn’t any family’s disciple in the Three Middle Realms who hasboth of them.”
The Jiang family’s people were attacking him justto get the Sky-Burning Evil Flame back, thus they might trigger theBlood Oath. However, they also might not trigger it.
Jiang Chencouldn’t state the truth about the Sky-Burning Evil Flame, so he couldonly say, “Even your trifling Jiang family is qualified to possess theSky-Burning Evil Flame?”
“Good, good!” An ominous glint flickeredin Jiang Beishan’s gaze. His speed drastically rose suddenly by severaldozen times, and he quickly closed on him. When he thrust his fist atJiang Chen, the latter used his Holy Skill again and evaded it. However,before Jiang Chen could gasp for breath, the other two CelestialVenerables came at him one after the other.
JiangChen’s body flickered again and evaded one of their attacks, but theother still pursued him closely. His teleportation technique was alreadyat its limit, and Jiang Chen couldn’t evade them any longer.
“Thefirst transformation!” At such a critical juncture, Jiang Chen thrusthis fists at him consecutively. The Alien Flame struck the CelestialVenerable and forced him back.
“Amazing! He managed to learn howto use the first transformation this quickly.” Admiration welled inJiang Moliang’s heart, but her face was still filled with worry. Onemustn’t be fooled by the fact that Jiang Chen was still safe and soundbecause he had already gone all out while trying to evade the ThreeMountains Elders’ casual attacks. Once the Three Mountains Eldersstarted taking this seriously, the outcome would be unpredictable.
“Isthe Alien Flame really more important than Jiang Zhe’s life?” She waspuzzled by this matter. The Alien Flame had already been in Jiang Yan’shands for many years, yet she had never seen it display any amazingeffects. However, it wasn’t like she didn’t know how valuable an AlienFlame was, but the Sky-Burning Evil Flame was an uncontrollable flame.The benefits it would bring the Jiang family wouldn’t make up for even ahundredth of the troubles it would bring them.
Jiang Moliang madea decision, held her sword, and joined the battle. She joined it tohelp Jiang Chen. “Three elders, the Family Master ordered me to givepriority to the Blood Oath, thus I’m incapable of supporting youractions.” After Jiang Moliang spoke, she transmitted her voice to JiangChen. “Quickly, leave. I will obstruct them.”
Jiang Chen looked ather in bewilderment for a moment before he realized something. Hedidn’t say anything but just used lightning and left.
“Don’tleave.” The Three Mountains Elders wouldn’t allow it, but Jiang Moliangwas blocking them and preventing them from going after him. “JiangMoliang, you are really courting death.”
Jiang Beishan was verymuch like what Jiang Moliang had heard about him and knew of him. He wasfirm and resolute, and he didn’t hesitate at all as he startedattacking her with all of his power. His palms’ might was extremelyterrifying.
“Beishan!What are you doing? She’s Jiang Wuchen’s daughter. Do you want to bespurned by the family?” Jiang Yishan and Jiang Dongshan quickly wentover to stop him and asked him to not take any rash action.
“Thisis the Jiang family’s domain, where can he even flee?” The two peoplespoke quickly when they saw that Jiang Beishan was still not willing togive up.
He snorted. “Even if it’s Jiang Wuchen, so what? TheJiang family’s hero? It’s just nonsense!” Jiang Beishan lowered his armand cursed angrily.
Jiang Moliang, whose face had been filled with hesitation a moment ago, looked over at him as anger appeared in her eyes.
“Whatare you looking at?” Jiang Beishan rolled his eyes. He already realizedwhat he had ended up blurting out, and he slightly regretted it.However, he was quite irritated by Jiang Moliang’s ice cold gaze. “Don’ta.s.sume that your father is really worthy of admiration. Let me informyou…”
“Let it be and forget about it.” When the other two peoplerealized what he was just about to blurt out, they were scared greatlyand quickly interrupted him.
“Elder, why don’t you speak clearly?How is my father? He sacrificed his life to help the family get over itsgreatest crisis, so why are you speaking this rudely of him?” JiangMoliang wouldn’t allow anyone to be this disrespectful to her father,and it was especially the case if it was someone from the Jiang family.
