Chapter 2534: Chapter 2537: Cheng Huang’er’s Difficulties

Yun Cheng glanced at the people from the four major powers, then turned to Lu Xian, Yan Li, and Yun Hai: ”You all, head over there.”

”Third Grandfather...”

Yun Hai opened his mouth to say something.

”Do not let the events of twenty years ago happen again.”

Yun Cheng interrupted Yun Hai’s words.

Yun Hai’s expression changed, and a hint of grief and indignation appeared in his eyes as he lowered his head in despair.

”Go on!”

Yun Cheng spoke again, waving his hand, sending a gentle force to push Yun Hai towards Kuang Long.

Kuang Long looked at Yun Cheng with guilt and in a flash leaped into the air to catch Yun Hai, solemnly addressing Yun Cheng: ”Brother Yun, I owe you, but I promise, if anyone dares to touch Yun Hai, they’ll have to step over my dead body!”

Once these words were said, the faces of the people from the four major powers changed dramatically and some stopped their scheming thoughts.

”Thank you!”

Yun Cheng cupped his fist at Kuang Long in gratitude.

Kuang Long returned the gesture and led Lu Xian and the others back to the area of Wind Thunder Valley.

”Can we come over now?”

A soft voice echoed, Cheng Huang’er spoke only after Yun Hai and the others returned to Wind Thunder Valley.

Jiang Chen glanced at Cheng Huang’er, then moved towards her.

Yan Hu, Yun Tao, Yun Cheng and others followed suit.

”Liu Mei, Elder Su, come over here!”

Sun Tian called out lightly, as Sun Tian and Lin Guanghui had already distanced themselves from Cheng Huang’er and the others, moving closer to the four major powers while Dong Zhenfeng and the others remained in place.

Su Qingluan glanced at Sun Tian but ignored him, landing behind Jiang Chen.

Sun Tian’s expression changed, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen.

Qi Shan shifted his eyes and stepped over to Elder Qiu and the others, whispering about something.

”Greetings, Princess, and seniors.”

Jiang Chen and the others cupped their fists towards Cheng Huang’er and Elder Feng.

Cheng Huang’er stared directly into Jiang Chen’s eyes with a scrutinizing gaze.

Jiang Chen felt somewhat baffled but met Cheng Huang’er’s gaze directly.

”Why did you give away the credit?”

Cheng Huang’er asked softly.

”It’s all the same. All I want is for Gui Ying to die.”

Jiang Chen responded calmly.

”How did you know Gui Ying had been implanted with the Soul Devour Seed?”

Cheng Huang’er asked again.

Those around them were slightly shocked, looking towards Jiang Chen.

”Experience.”

Jiang Chen replied peacefully: ”Princess, I think you’ve investigated my experiences clearly. You should know my hometown was almost controlled by the Nether Kui Snake. I’ve fought with a trace of its consciousness for so many years. I dare not say I understand it well, but if someone carries its scent, I can smell it immediately.”

”Hmph! Boy, do you know the consequences of withholding information?”

Tang Jie snorted coldly.

”Withholding information? Without me, could you have obtained the trace consciousness of the Nether Kui Snake? Without me, would you have known that the people of the Dark Church were controlled by the Nether Kui Snake?”

Jiang Chen looked indifferently at Tang Jie: ”Although I didn’t claim the credit, I’m not your prisoner.”

”What’s your attitude?”

Tang Jie lashed out coldly.

”What’s your attitude?”

Jiang Chen returned his words to him.

”You...”

Tang Jie was burning with rage, a cold gleam appearing in his eyes.

”Tang Jie, should I ask, or do you want to speak first?”

Cheng Huang’er turned to look at Tang Jie.

Tang Jie was startled and quickly bowed: ”I wouldn’t dare!”

”Then shut up!”

Cheng Huang’er spoke coldly, then looked at Jiang Chen with deep intent: ”Would you like to explain what’s within the light barrier?”

Jiang Chen paused, noticing Cheng Huang’er’s expression, and his heart stirred.

He realized Cheng Huang’er was referring to the trace of Dragon Qi within the energy barrier. The Dragon Clan has vanished from the Void Nether Realm for countless years, so the Dragon Qi in Jiang Chen’s energy barrier puzzled Cheng Huang’er.

”A chance encounter in my hometown.”

Jiang Chen replied softly.

Yuan Chong and others were momentarily confused, glancing curiously at Cheng Huang’er and Jiang Chen, wondering if the question was not about the trace consciousness of the Nether Kui Snake.

When they arrived, Pang Guang had personally handed the barrier to Cheng Huang’er, so they never interacted with it.

”I understand.”

Cheng Huang’er nodded gently and glanced at the area of the eight great villages and the three sects.

”Two months ago, after receiving a message from the Canghai Trade Alliance, we returned here.”

Cheng Huang’er spoke softly: ”We’ve been investigating the forces of the Dark Church externally, and we’ve been looking into those on the Abandoned Plains. A month ago, we stopped the conflicts among the eight great villages, releasing those from the three sects. This matter is significant, and we must not delay intentionally.”

”Understood!”

Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

Elder Feng, Tang Jie, and Leng Ling glanced at Cheng Huang’er in surprise, wondering why her words seemed to be explaining things, which shocked the three.

Who exactly is this person? Why is the Princess so courteous to him?

Elder Feng and the others were filled with uncertainty, with even Tang Jie, who was displeased with Jiang Chen, curbing his anger a bit.

Yuan Chong wasn’t surprised at all. After all, Jiang Chen was indeed Cheng Huang’er’s teacher, having even taught her about controlling power, so it wasn’t odd for her to be courteous.

”Any news from the Dark Church over there?”

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, his gaze fixed intensely on Cheng Huang’er.

”I wouldn’t know; this matter is managed by my elder brother.”

Cheng Huang’er shook her head gently.

”Crown Prince...”

Jiang Chen murmured softly, sighing in disappointment.

He could ask Cheng Huang’er, but even if he met the Crown Prince and asked, they might not be willing to engage with him.

”Do you know about the battle where Elder Jiu got injured?”

Cheng Huang’er suddenly changed the topic.

”I know!”

Jiang Chen nodded.

”There’s five months until a similar grand event. Various powers will begin selecting personnel with multiple criteria, two of which relate to you. One is combat power reaching the Divine Infant Realm Peak and the other is combat power reaching the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak.

Your combat strength is impressive, but once at the Initial Stage of the Virtual Refinement Realm, you might not pass the selection for the Virtual Refinement Realm Peak. The disciple of Elder Jiu’s adversary will participate in both selection processes. If you want to avenge Elder Jiu, you might need to halt some of your cultivation.”

Cheng Huang’er explained softly and after hesitating, whispered: ”I will also participate in the Divine Infant Realm Peak selection.”

Elder Feng and other members were all taken aback, looking at Cheng Huang’er with suspicion.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, then nodded lightly: ”My foundation hasn’t been fully solidified yet, so within five months, I shouldn’t break through.”
