Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jiang Chen found the voice to be quite familiar, and he was sure that it was someone he knew. He quickly thought back to one person, and he raised his head suddenly as disbelief appeared on his face.
The Nine Dragons’ Aura engulfing this group of people dissipated, and they could now clearly see the person who had just spoken.
Li Nanxing! It was exactly the person whom Jiang Chen had just thought of. He was the Nine Heavens Realm’s Sacred Inst.i.tute’s most outstanding disciple, and he had become a Venerable before Jiang Chen. He had gone out to make his way in the world, and he hadn’t seen him again.
Even when the Sacred Inst.i.tute suffered great troubles later, no one saw him again.
Moreover, even when Jiang Chen went to the Realm of Milky and the True Force Realm, he didn’t find his senior brother. He had a.s.sumed then that he already died, or that he had concealed his ident.i.ty and was cultivating peacefully in some other land.
He really hadn’t expected that he would appear suddenly on this day, and especially not as the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s prince.
“Seedlings extermination operation!” Jiang Chen suddenly thought of these three words. They were an answer to all his doubts.
The Spirit Clans would try to a.s.sa.s.sinate the other Spirit Clans’ geniuses to get rid of all future trouble. Moreover, while carrying on such an extermination operation, they would also try to protect their descendants from being a.s.sa.s.sinated.
This was the reason why they would all send all of the Spirit Clan’s outstanding geniuses to the Three Lower Realms while they were still children. It was only after they grew up that they would take them back to the Spirit Clan.
This was the reason why Jiang Chen had ended up meeting his senior sister in the Realm of Nine Heavens’ Fire Field.
The Dragon Field was much more vast than the Fire Field, and it also had Spirit Clans’ descendants taking refuge there. Li Nanxing was one of them.
It’s no wonder that I didn’t get to see him in the Three Lower Realms, Jiang Chen thought inwardly.
They didn’t separate for a long time, yet Li Nanxing’s realm had already reached the Celestial Venerable Realm, and it could be seen from the halo around him how powerful he was.
When Li Nanxing met his gaze, he revealed a faint and bright smile.
“Senior brother!” Jiang Chen said excitedly.
They weren’t really close to each other, but they still had a pretty good relations.h.i.+p. They were both similar people, and his senior brother took good care of him.
“I knew that it was you. It may still be possible for someone with the same name and surname as you to exist here, but it would be too coincidental if he was also from the Three Lower Realms.” Li Nanxing seemed more cheerful than usual, full of vigor and energy.
“It’s pretty good. I can go to the s.h.i.+p along with you because we’re friends,” Li Nanxing said.
“I don’t mind,” Jiang Chen replied. Li Nanxing was both his senior brother and the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s prince.
Jiang Chen noticed that Pang Xiong’s expression became unsightly, and he found it quite amusing. He added on purpose, “However, senior brother, it seems like some people feel like I’m too mediocre and will just disgrace you.”
“Huh? Isn’t he implying that I’m as blind as a bat?” Li Nanxing tacitly understood what Jiang Chen wanted, and he swept his gaze over Pang Xiong out of the corner of his eye.
“Prince Xia, it’s just a misunderstanding. I wasn’t aware of this,” Pang Xiong said hurriedly.
Jiang Chen noticed how he referred to him. It was obvious that his senior brother’s previous name was fake. If he mulled over it slightly, he could figure out how reasonable it was. He had gone there to hide and evade a disaster, so how would it have been possible for him to use his real name?
At that moment, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but wonder what his senior sister’s true name was.
Snort! Li Nanxing, who was Prince Xia, waved his sleeves, and powerful draconic energy surged out of them.
Pang Xiong gritted his teeth, and a bright light surged out of his body. It had a powerful aura, forming an indestructible Dipper Energy s.h.i.+eld in front of him.
Bang!
However, it still couldn’t withstand even a single blow from the draconic energy. The light membrane was shattered, and its light dissipated. Pang Xiong drew back several steps, while his face became as pale as a piece of paper.
“He’s this strong!” Jiang Chen was standing next to him, and he clearly felt the power contained in his senior brother’s casual strike. He was shocked by it.
It was only now that he noticed that his senior brother was wearing the official wide robes of a minister. It was awe-inspiring and gave him a heroic air. He seemed completely different than the quiet swordsman of the past.
“Is it his current environment that caused him to change, or was he always like this and was just hiding it?” Jiang Chen couldn’t find an answer to this question.
As for which of them was better, it wasn’t up to him to decide. He could only choose whether he wanted to befriend him or not.
“Let’s go to the s.h.i.+p.” After Prince Xia taught Pang Xiong a lesson, he went to the s.h.i.+p along with Jiang Chen.
“Senior Brother, are you really the Blood Shadow Dynasty’s prince?” Even though he knew the answer, Jiang Chen still asked.
“That’s right. My real name is Xia Yiming, and it’s up to you what you want to call me. I’m fine with whatever you want.”
“Then I’ll still call you Senior Brother,” Jiang Chen said.
“That’s also fine.” Prince Xia was overjoyed. He would be really disappointed if Jiang Chen started treating him respectfully like the others.
Just after that, Jiang Chen introduced his senior brother to the Ji family’s sisters.
When they came to know that the person before them was a prince of the Blood Shadow Dynasty, the Ji family’s sisters became so nervous that they didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly. They were shocked by the fact that Jiang Chen was acquainted with such a person.
Even they were shocked, let alone the other people on the street.
“He’s a prince of the Blood Shadow Dynasty!”
“Even a prince came here! The Elixir Emperor’s disciples are really extraordinary.”
“Jiang Chen is also outstanding, as he has a good relations.h.i.+p with a prince.”
The people in the street started discussing it spiritedly.
Yan Ruyu, who had hidden away a moment earlier, was extremely shocked. Jiang Chen didn’t need to go look for someone, because a prince would come to him by himself. She couldn’t help but feel like she came off as a fool when she spoke to him.
Jiang Chen was acquainted with Xia Yiming, and they both admired each other, but it was still just that and nothing more. When they met each other once again on that day, they didn’t feel estranged, and they quickly felt familiar with each other again.
When they climbed onto the s.h.i.+p, Jiang Chen needed to state his status clearly before they let him in. Jiang Chen noticed that all the people on the s.h.i.+p were women, all youthful and pretty. Moreover, even their realm levels weren’t low.
After they entered the cabin, Jiang Chen witnessed the people who had gotten there before them. They were all sitting peacefully in a lounge. They had curbed their Spirit Clothes’ radiance, and their phenomenal haloes’ radiances had also disappeared.
Talented youths from all Three Middle Realms’ lands were gathered there, yet they were still strangely peaceful, and even while speaking to each other, they were just whispering. Jiang Chen could infer that they didn’t want to leave the owner of the place with a bad impression.
He started examining them casually. They were all genius experts, and they would all leave people feeling stifled.
When Jiang Chen Looked once again at the Ice Spirit Clan’s Saintess, he found that the ice fog engulfing her had disappeared, and she wasn’t covered by anything, but he still couldn’t get a clear look at her face.
“What an amazing technique!” Jiang Chen couldn’t bear activating his Heaven Eye to get a clear look at her.
When his Heaven Eye’s gaze fell on the saintess’s face, he felt like he was in front of a boundless fog. Regardless of how far forward he moved, he couldn’t get a clear view of her.
“Junior Brother!” Xia Yiming’s voice echoed next to him.
Jiang Chen stopped using his Heaven Eye and felt a chilly air engulfing him. It seemed like it wanted to freeze him. It was only when Jiang Chen protected his mind with his Holy Sea’s power that he managed to resist this chilly air.
Even though Jiang Chen couldn’t see her face, he could still tell that she was looking at him. “I didn’t alter my appearance, so if she’s my Senior Sister, she’ll surely recognize me and won’t need to take such measures against me.”
Jiang Chen could feel that her gaze was filled with irritation, and he gained an answer to his suspicions. He was quite disappointed by the answer.
Just after that, Jiang Chen took a seat. The Ji family’s sisters and Xia Yiming sat with him. Their situation was pretty good because the other people had brought seven or eight people along with them, and since they couldn’t all sit down, they were just standing behind them.
When Jiang Chen sat down, he felt a hostile gaze. When he looked over to see who it was, he wasn’t surprised at all by what he saw. It was Jiang Zhe, the Jiang family’s great genius. It would be normal for him to appear that day for such an event.
When Jiang Chen swept his gaze over all the people in the lounge, he quickly saw some of his acquaintances. One of them was the Civil and Martial Arts Inst.i.tute’s Miss Tian Ling, as well as Fang Wentian, who had wanted to kill him in Treasure City, and the Xiao family’s young mistress, Xiao Biluo.
Apart from those people, there were still several people who he didn’t know that caught his attention.
