Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1341: Chapter 1375: Clash of Angels

In the richly endowed martial arts world, although the Blazing Angel’s overall strength is terrifying, it is not an invincible existence.

Relying solely on Holy War’s strength alone, it is difficult to achieve much.

The five-thousand-year history of the martial arts world hides countless unparalleled strong individuals and forces, which even Jia Zhenjing finds hard to ascertain.

Anyway, they have reason to believe that these so-called Five Great Families and Four Major Clans undoubtedly have powerful foundations behind them.

Who knows which powerful old immortals might be lurking in these millennium-old histories?

The Blazing Angel was once the most potent living force in the martial arts world, but it was not representative of the entire martial arts world’s strongest base camp.

Years ago, members of the Blazing Angel traversed the Beiming Family, only to return severely injured, so there has always been a rule in the martial arts world: No one shall set foot in Dragon City half a step!

”I suppose this kid is trying to investigate the secrets about his father.” Meng Chanji sighed and shook his head, ”He already knows about his father’s matter. I guess this kid wants to clear his father’s name and find out who accused his father of being a traitor back then.”

”Did you reveal this to him?”

Jia Zhenjing’s sword eyebrows furrowed slightly. The matter of the Holy War Angel being slandered as a traitor by certain families is intricately complicated.

Back during the battle in Greece for the Magic Bracelet, too many were involved.

In the end, those forces, seeking to shift all blame, had to use Holy War as a scapegoat.

After all, when it concerned the survival of the martial arts world, the Blazing Angel lineage naturally had to take on the burden without complaint.

Put simply, back then, the Blazing Angel were scapegoats, and their enemies were largely their own people... What most of the Angels questioned was the rumor that Holy War’s fall from the cliff was faked, with many speculations swirling, and one common theory was that the Holy War Angel intentionally fell to escape something...

”Yes, I felt it was no longer necessary to hide the truth from him. After all, Holy War is his father, and he has the right to know everything.”

”However, if this is the case, with that kid’s crazy mindset, he’s bound to do something reckless. And he carries the Magic Bracelet; if certain old immortals discover it, it will undoubtedly reignite a war like the one in the Greece Wilderness!”

”What! The Magic Bracelet is with him!”

Meng Chanji’s heart trembled with surprise; such a thing had been hidden with him all along!

”Yes. While in the Dark Prison, I handed the Magic Bracelet to him.” The old man nodded, ”Before he escaped from the Dark Prison, the Magic Bracelet had already sensed him. Without the Bracelet clearing his path, he couldn’t have escaped.”

”So, the Magic Bracelet has already recognized him as its master? No wonder I couldn’t sense the Bracelet’s presence on him.”

Meng Chanji recalled that from the first time he met Lin Zifeng, he sensed no trace of the Magic Bracelet on him, suggesting that it had already fused with him.

”So what now? The kid’s cultivation is really too weak; if he encounters those reclusive old immortals in the Beiming Family, he might not even know how he died. Besides, that Beiming Yu in the Beiming Family, her cultivation is practically defying nature; falling into her hands, with that woman’s crazy mindset, she wouldn’t show mercy to anyone.”

”Since things have reached this point, if we interfere too much, it will only cause unnecessary trouble. If Beiming Yu really dares to touch him, then don’t blame me for tearing their Beiming Family apart.”

The old man glared fiercely, his affection for Lin Zifeng akin to that of a father.

Having lived in the Dark Prison for so long, he regarded Lin Zifeng as his own son; anyone who dared to harm Lin Zifeng would face his wrath!

”Alright. Since he’s already in Dragon City, we just need to ensure his safety.”

”Should we meet with him?” Nangong Shui still missed her daughter a little.

”No! It’s not the right time yet. Since we can’t handle it, let’s let this kid do it for us.

”Dragon City has clear rules that we can’t interfere, so let the kid handle it himself. I’m curious to see if all of Holy War’s hopes can rest on him, hoping he doesn’t shatter our expectations!”

”Indeed. As Guardians of this pure land of the martial arts world, we mustn’t easily disrupt the order.” Meng Chanji’s gaze was resolute.

As the leader of the Talent Pavilion of the martial arts world, his duty is to protect this pure land, not to create internal chaos in the martial arts domain. He also hopes that the Blazing Angel members will not have conflicts with some families in Dragon City, which would be a disastrous calamity.

The Blazing Angel of the past, to put it bluntly, were akin to the current peacekeeping border forces, protecting the martial arts world and maintaining peace.

Not allowing their homeland to be affected in any way.

Since the three of them had returned, Meng Chanji hoped to avoid any disputes or trouble with the family clans.

”Alright, you’re right. If we impose ourselves, not only can’t we clear Holy War of any wrongful accusations, it might backfire.”

The old man fell silent, then suddenly, a gleam flashed in his eye: ”But I absolutely won’t let anyone harm him. I don’t care who they are; if they threaten his life, even if I have to stake my own, I’ll fight them!”

”...”

Meng Chanji was speechless.

Since when did this Fallen Angel become so emotional and righteous? Remembering back then, he was a strict and heartless person. Five years flew by, and even this guy changed.

”Alright. It’s been so many years without meeting, and once we did, we’re talking about that kid nonstop. Aren’t you tired of it? Come, come, tonight, the four of us brothers won’t leave until we’re drunk!”

Jia Zhenjing wrapped his arm tightly around Meng Chanji’s shoulders.

But he noticed that Meng Chanji’s legs were evidently weak.

”What happened to your leg?”

”No, no issue.”

But as soon as he spoke, Jia Zhenjing’s hand had already reached the root source of his leg.

”Your leg is gone?!” Jia Zhenjing’s mind went blank for a moment.

”When did this happen?”

Nangong Shui’s hair stood on end.

On the rainy night when the Blazing Angel fell, Meng Chanji once single-handedly rode to the Western Bright Church, only to suffer a severe injury and even have his left leg crippled.

However, when Jia Zhenjing and Nangong Shui returned later, he hadn’t mentioned it to them either.

He kept it hidden until now...

”It’s all in the past; there’s no point in bringing it up again.” Meng Chanji gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

This matter had been hidden for so long because he didn’t want them to attack the Bright Church on his behalf, which would result in something more than just one or two casualties.
