Chapter 1023: Chapter 1026: Are You Tricking Me? (Extra for being second in the overall rankings)

”Alright, go and meet him!”

Upon hearing that Jiang Chen was coming, Ha’er nodded gently, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

Next to him, an elderly man dressed in simple clothes also showed a look of interest. ”I too want to meet this young man who is said to have unbeatable potential, to see if he is as outstanding as you all say!”

”Haha, Deputy Commander Mu Lisi, you won’t be disappointed!” Ha’er laughed and spoke.

A little while later, Xi’er received a phone call and walked out of the courtyard. When he returned, he brought Jiang Chen with him.

”Mr. Jiang.”

”Mr. Jiang.”

Fa’erxi and several others stood up and greeted Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen greeted each of them; suddenly, he froze.

Immediately after, his gaze fixed on Mu Lisi.

This is... the Venerable Realm?

It seems the Holy Court is planning something big this time!

Jiang Chen felt a shock inside, quickly scanned his surroundings, and his expression grew solemn as he involuntarily tightened his grip on the staff in his hand.

Noticing Jiang Chen’s tension, Ha’er quickly stepped forward.

”Mr. Jiang, this is Mr. Mu Lisi, the deputy commander of our Holy Court’s Ascetic Knights,” Ha’er introduced Mu Lisi, extending his hand.

Jiang Chen paused momentarily, his voice filled with surprise, ”The Ascetic Knights? So, the Ascetic Knights have been deployed this time?”

”The glory of the Lord be with us!”

Mu Lisi, with a devout expression, exclaimed, looking up at Jiang Chen with a serious face, ”To eradicate those rats lurking in the dark, it is our bounden duty!”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

The Holy Court’s three great legions: the Guardian Knights, the Knights of the Round Table, and the Ascetic Knights.

The Guardian Knights are the lowest-ranking among the three legions and the most commonly seen members of the Holy Court.

The Knights of the Round Table heed only the commands of the Pope, serving as his private military unit.

As for the Ascetic Knights, even the Pope cannot order them; their mobilization requires the unanimous agreement of the eight grand figures of the Holy Court!

This is the most secretive and most powerful force of the Holy Court!

”Mr. Jiang, are you truly willing to join us in action?” Ha’er asked as if confirming.

Jiang Chen’s expression turned cold, and he spoke in a deep voice, ”It was Ya Si who crossed my limits. This time, I will definitely take action!”

”Oh? What do you mean by that?” Ha’er asked, puzzled.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. ”This time Ya Si came to me because he wants me to help them relocate over a thousand people to the Flame Dragon Kingdom!”

”Over a thousand people?! That many?” Xi’er and the others were all taken aback.

”According to what Chief Judge Xi’er said, I suspect that those he asked me to settle are the ones who escaped from the bases you destroyed!” Jiang Chen spoke coldly.

”If that’s the case, then the purpose of the Dark Church this time...” Ha’er furrowed his brows, his expression solemn as he spoke, but then hesitated and closed his mouth.

Jiang Chen’s face became ugly: ”Those bastards, they must be trying to provoke a conflict between Flame Dragon and the Holy Court, or rather, they want Flame Dragon Kingdom to descend into internal chaos so they can take advantage of the situation!”

”Mr. Jiang, I’m a bit confused!” Fa’erxi spoke, puzzled.

”If Mr. Jiang were to bring those thousand people to Flame Dragon, and if we received the news, we would definitely pursue them!”

Xi’er raised an eyebrow, his expression dark: ”Once we pursue them into Flame Dragon Realm, the Flame Dragon Group will definitely intervene. At that point, Mr. Jiang’s collaboration with the Dark Church would be exposed; this could lead to an opposition between our Holy Court, Flame Dragon Group, and Mr. Jiang.”

”With Mr. Jiang’s influence in Flame Dragon Kingdom, if the Flame Dragon Group helped us eliminate Mr. Jiang, it would definitely cause strong dissatisfaction within the Martial Dao World towards the Flame Dragon Group, and a war might even be possible.”

Ha’er took over from Xi’er, continuing: ”Conversely, if the Flame Dragon Group didn’t assist us, it would definitely upset us. Should they allow us to act in Flame Dragon, the moniker of Flame Dragon Kingdom as a forbidden power zone would self-destruct. In either scenario, Flame Dragon Kingdom would be thrown into great chaos, and our Holy Court and Flame Dragon Group would definitely grow apart, becoming sworn enemies with Mr. Jiang!”

”Right!”

Jiang Chen nodded, then added angrily: ”Another point, my power! The last time, I was forced to reveal a Semi Venerable Realm High Phase guard; this time, I revealed an elder who is a Semi Venerable Realm Peak. They must have realized that the forces around me are also very strong.”

”By then, once the conflicts start, whether it’s my side, Flame Dragon Group, or your Holy Court, casualties will be inevitable. This will undoubtedly lead to my banishment from Flame Dragon and rejection by your Holy Court, leaving me with no choice but to turn to them, and they will then ’rescue’ me at an opportune moment...”

A cold gleam flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes: ”Utilizing my Jiang Family’s status in Flame Dragon Kingdom and our commercial influence, the Dark Church can accomplish a lot!”

”This... This is practically pushing you, Mr. Jiang, straight into the fire!” Xi’er frowned deeply.

Jiang Chen nodded: ”I originally thought I could use Wu Yati to get more information from the Dark Church, but I didn’t expect them to be so ruthless, targeting me directly and even thinking of stirring up trouble in Flame Dragon!”

.

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s expression had turned terrifyingly grim: ”The Soul Devouring Group has already emerged in Flame Dragon Kingdom. With them instigating this, they want to completely drag my Flame Dragon Kingdom into this turmoil!”

”The Soul Devouring Group has emerged in Flame Dragon?” Xi’er looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: ”Haven’t you noticed that Flame Dragon Group’s recent focus has been primarily within our country? It’s not that we don’t want to contribute to international stability, but the domestic situation is very tense. The Soul Devouring Group has emerged, but we lack solid evidence and the right opportunity to completely eliminate them.”

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen continued: ”Therefore, we can only wait. We’ll deal with them at a major event of the Martial Dao World in our Flame Dragon Kingdom. Hence, Flame Dragon Group has rarely made moves internationally these past two years.”

”I see!”

Ha’er sighed deeply, slightly apologetically: ”To be honest, we once doubted that Flame Dragon wanted to keep out of it and take no action. We didn’t realize that you’re facing a situation far more complex than we imagined!”

Jiang Chen gave a casual smile and then furrowed his brows: ”What I can’t figure out is, knowing that Flame Dragon Kingdom is a forbidden zone for sect powers, why would they still head towards such danger? Isn’t that unnecessarily troubling themselves, especially with such a low success rate?”

Mu Lisi sneered: ”Exactly because Flame Dragon Kingdom has always been a forbidden zone for sect powers, which hold an aloof status, that’s why they proceed with this plan!”

Jiang Chen was stunned: ”Why?”
