Chapter 2527: Chapter 2530: Owe Jiang Chen Too Much

In Jiang Chen’s palm, there was a translucent white light cluster, and within the cluster, a very thin black line was frantically trying to break free from the constraints of the light cluster.

Everyone’s face changed simultaneously, and some strong individuals immediately recognized that the black line was a soul fragmentation, causing their hearts to tremble and already guessing whose soul it was separated from.

”Qi Shan, you keep claiming you have nothing to do with Gui Ying, but you tried to kill me while I was capturing this strand of primordial spirit power from the Netherworld Serpent. Is your purpose really just to kill me?”

”Is it worth risking attacks from two sage seniors to kill me? The Canghai Trade Alliance seniors are just following the Emperor’s decree to execute Gui Ying; they never mentioned protecting me. Are you really in such a haste? Couldn’t you wait until after the seniors left to make your move? Do you block the town entrance because you fear I’ll escape?”

Jiang Chen spoke sharply without pause.

Qi Shan’s face changed, and the expressions of everyone around changed too.

Jiang Chen’s barrage of questions all implied that Qi Shan wanted to get at the primordial spirit power of the Netherworld Serpent inside the Soul Devouring Black Mist, and when everyone looked at the current situation, they thought Jiang Chen made some sense.

At this moment, even Elder Qiu and Elder Liu had some suspicions about Qi Shan.

”A fine Spirit Sword Sect, Yuanling Sect, and Qingyang Sect, not only collaborating with the person controlling the Netherworld Serpent, but also daring to attempt rescuing its soul fragmentation? Canghai Trade Alliance members, heed the order, arrest these sect members, and wait for the people from Canglan City to interrogate them!”

Pang Guang shouted loudly.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The Canghai Trade Alliance members, who had been prepared, flew out from within the town and directly surrounded the sect members.

”No! I wasn’t trying to save the Netherworld Serpent’s soul fragmentation; I just wanted to kill that scoundrel Jiang Chen!”

Qi Shan panicked, hurriedly shouting loudly.

”Oh, really? Do the two seniors believe this?”

Jiang Chen sneered, shaking the light cluster in his hand, looking playfully at Elder Qiu and Elder Liu.

The faces of both elders changed. They glanced at the light cluster in Jiang Chen’s hand, then at Qi Shan, and almost simultaneously shouted, ”Yuanling Sect and Qingyang Sect members, follow the order, do not resist, and wait for the people from Canglan City to investigate!”

They had no unresolved grievances with Jiang Chen, and although Chen Rui and others had some conflict with Jiang Chen, it hadn’t become mortal. Now that it involved the Emperor’s execution decree, they dared not neglect any precautions and immediately threw their involvement in Qi Shan’s plan to kill Jiang Chen to the winds, focusing instead on extricating themselves from this incident.

”You all...”

Qi Shan’s face changed, and he fiercely glared at Jiang Chen: ”Jiang Chen, what a move!”

”Oh? What a move from me? Did I make you collaborate with Gui Ying? Did I ask Gui Ying to pledge allegiance to the Netherworld Serpent? Or are you angry because I captured Gui Ying, thinking it was a good move? Elder Qi, even if you’re collaborating with Gui Ying, you don’t have to speak for him this much, do you?”

Jiang Chen looked mockingly at Qi Shan.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Upon hearing this, the two sage elders of the Canghai Trade Alliance flashed their figures beside Qi Shan, staring closely at him, ready to act as soon as he made any move.

Qi Shan’s face became extremely unpleasant, his mouth opened as if trying to say something, but he was afraid Jiang Chen would bring up the Gui Ying issue, so he shut his mouth immediately.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, his figure flashed as he leapt back to Yan Hu and the others, then he turned to Pang Guang, handing over the light cluster: ”Pang brother, I’ll leave it to you.”

”Leave it to me?”

Pang Guang was taken aback, looking at Jiang Chen in surprise. He hesitated a moment and gently reminded, ”Brother Jiang, I’ve already used secret techniques to notify the alliance headquarters, who’ll inform Canglan City immediately. By then, they will inform someone nearby, and it’s very likely the little princess will return. Did you mean to give her the Netherworld Serpent’s soul fragmentation...?”

”Pang brother, you hand it over to the little princess; I still need to go to the Central Region, and you don’t fancy the resources here, but I need them!”

Jiang Chen smiled as he spoke.

Pang Guang was once again stunned, his eyes showing a hint of emotion.

Capturing a strand of the Netherworld Serpent’s soul fragmentation was a great achievement. Taking it back to Canglan City and handing it to those powerful figures would likely help track the Netherworld Serpent’s whereabouts.

Such great achievement would surely be richly rewarded, and now, Jiang Chen’s actions were akin to handing such a great achievement over to himself!

”Take it, and when you’ve secured the position of successor in the alliance, I will definitely need to trouble you!”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then joked: ”Hurry up, my hand’s getting tired!”

”Brother Jiang, I cannot express enough gratitude for your great kindness; whenever you need my help, just ask!”

Pang Guang solemnly saluted Jiang Chen, then carefully took over the light cluster.

”This light cluster needs pure spiritual power reinforcement every two hours; otherwise, it will shatter, and the Netherworld Serpent’s abilities are incredibly strange; even the two sage seniors might not be able to trap this soul fragmentation here in the Abandoned Plains; be very careful.”

Jiang Chen softly reminded him.

”Alright!”

Pang Guang nodded solemnly.

”Then we’re off first.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, glanced at Qi Shan and the sect members nearby, raised his eyebrows at them, called out to Yan Hu and the others, and with a flash of his figure, leapt into the distance.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Yan Hu and the others followed quickly.

Qi Shan and the others watched helplessly as Jiang Chen and his group left, unable to do anything about it.

Swish!

The two sage elders from the Canghai Trade Alliance leapt to Pang Guang’s side, probing the light cluster with their divine sense, their expressions slightly changing.

”Dragon Qi? No wonder it can trap the Netherworld Serpent’s soul fragmentation! This Mr. Jiang has a good opportunity!”

One of the sage elders softly admired.

”Pang Guang, having such devoted friends is your blessing!”

The other sage elder looked meaningfully at Pang Guang.

”Indeed, Brother Jiang... I owe him too much!”

Pang Guang nodded, looking at the distant figures of Jiang Chen and others, his eyes showing gratitude.

”Jiang Chen, did you plan this long ago?”

After leaving the trading town, Su Qingluan asked in surprise.

”I anticipated that Gui Ying could not escape calamity, but I didn’t expect it to be this smooth, making Elder Su’s preparations unnecessary!”

Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a bit of relief.

”Now the three sects and Lei Yang Village are in for a headache; what a relief!”

Zhuo Bufan chuckled softly: ”You’ve really played those four forces around.”

”Where should we go next for fun?”

Mu Ling’er asked softly.

”We’ll first regroup with Elder Lu Xian and the others, then find Jin Hu and remove the Blood Soul Mark from him!”

Jiang Chen said as he pulled out a compass, which had been given to him by Yan Li when they decided to split up.
