Chapter 1530: A Hero’s Divine Will

“How is this possible?”

Murong Yanran, who was outside, was shocked to see the two people coming out safe and sound.

A while ago, she had heard a loud disturbance from the interior, and she had assumed that Jiang Chen had been killed.

“Who is this guy?” Murong Yanran had stopped looking down on Jiang Chen, and she had realized that he was quite outstanding.

After they left the building, the protective barrier around Xuan Qing’s body disappeared, and she managed to wake up.

“What’s going on?”

Xuan Qing was being carried by Jiang Chen in his embrace. This was why when she opened her large eyes, the first thing she saw was the side of Jiang Chen’s face.

He had a straight nose and a handsome appearance, and as she looked at him from this angle, her heart was stirred up and complex emotions welled up in it.

“Have you woken up?” When Jiang Chen noticed that she had woken up, he put her down.

Xuan Qing quickly came back to her senses and understood what had happened. She still had a lingering fear after this ordeal.

“Those aren’t remnants,” Xuan Qing spoke in a sure tone, and it was obvious that she knew some secrets.

“Xuan Qing!”

At this moment, Murong Yanran came over. She looked guilty, and didn’t dare to look straight at Xuan Qing, while her face appeared flustered.

“Yes,” Xuan Qing nodded at her. She wasn’t angry, and she didn’t reproach Murong Yanran. She acted as if nothing had happened.

Murong Yanran was caught unprepared by this. She would have preferred that Xuan Qing would treat her more viciously.

However, Xuan Qing was concerned only about Jiang Chen, and she questioned him about how he had managed to get here.

Jiang Chen informed her of the whole course of events, and how Ying Ying had captured him and brought him here. He also informed her that Jin Yuan had already been killed by him and that a Demon Lord had managed to escape.

“What? True Demon Lords of the Demon Clan are stranded here?”

Murong Yanran was listening to them, and she was frightened. She was a disciple of the Demon Slayers Palace, and she had a greater understanding of the Demon Clan than the others.

The Demon Slayers Palace had detailed records about the great battle against the Demon Clan that had occurred in the past, and she was aware that more than half of the Demon Clan’s commanders hadn’t been killed.

If the Empyrean Goddess had tried to exterminate all her enemies in a short time, her faction would have suffered grave casualties, and that was why she just stranded them here to deal with them later.

However, specific details hadn’t been recorded, and people didn’t know where the demon commanders had been stranded. Some people said that they were in the Alien Battlefield, while some said that they were on the ninth floor of the Demonic Abyss.

They would have never imagined that they were within a crevice that appeared on the third floor.

“We must quickly leave this place,” Jiang Chen still hadn’t forgotten that there was a Demon Lord here, and this was why he didn’t want to stay here.

“Okay!” Murong Yanran didn’t have any objections. She wanted to report the news.

“There isn’t enough time now. We must keep the Great Demon Lord from escaping.”

No one had expected that Xuan Qing would suddenly speak up and object to their plans to leave.

When Xuan Qing faced the confused gazes of Jiang Chen and Murong Yanran, she stated the reason behind this.

When she had gotten protection a while ago, she didn’t completely lose consciousness, and her consciousness had arrived at a strange dimension where a heroic expert informed her of the whole course of events.

“Are the experts in charge of the prison still alive?” Murong Yanran felt like she was hearing a fantasy story.

“They should have left behind a wisp of Divine Will,” Jiang Chen made a surmise about this.

Xuan Qing nodded and affirmed that what Jiang Chen had said was true. She said, “The reason why a crevice appeared was because of the Divine Will of a certain expert in charge of the prison.”

“Why did he do this?”

The Divine Wills and buildings were a single entity, and it was only this way that they could strand the Demon Lords.

“The reason was quite simple. It was because the expert’s Divine Will learned about the Sacred Institute’s current situation, and that the Heroes Palace was destroyed. He was displeased and irritated and wanted the Xuanhuan Realm to be engulfed by darkness once again so that people would recall the great heroes,” Xuan Qing spoke in a helpless tone.

Jiang Chen was taken aback by this, and he didn’t know what he should say.

The power stranding the Demon Lords was formed through the combination of the heroes’ Divine Wills and the Gods’ Power, and it stranded the prisoners through different ways in different buildings.

Jiang Chen could surmise that the Gods’ Power was set here by the Empyrean Goddess, while many heroic experts cooperated with her.

However, after a certain hero’s Divine Will got to know the Xuanhuan Realm’s current situation, he wreaked destruction from inside for an unknown reason, and he wanted to release all the Demon Lords.

It must be known that the great battle against the Demon Clan occurred when the Blood Clan carried out an invasion, and the Blood Clan started a large-scale invasion after the myriad clans defeated the Demon Clan.

These matters had severe repercussions, and after the Empyrean Goddess left, the Xuanhuan Realm’s overall power wasn’t any longer great enough to contend against a Demon Lord.

Moreover, a Great Demon Lord was a person at the same level as a Divine King, and, once he was released, the consequences would be catastrophic.

“The source of the Gods’ power is the building that possessed the Empyrean Goddess’s Divine Will, and it’s at the center. The Great Demon Lord is also imprisoned within it,” Xuan Qing became more anxious the more she spoke because this matter was too grave.

She was a descendant of the Empyrean Goddess, and she believed that she had a responsibility to deal with this matter.

“Let’s go report it to the Demon Slayers Palace. It isn’t up to us to meddle in this matter,” Murong Yanran was quite anxious because she was afraid that the Great Demon Lord would escape and kill them all if they didn’t leave quickly.

“Do you think that we will be able to leave smoothly?” Xuan Qing cast a glance at her and spoke in an ice-cold voice.

Murong Yanran felt like she had fallen in an ice hole, and her whole body shivered.

“Understood!” Jiang Chen was also aware that this was an emergency. He didn’t say anything further, and he asked Xuan Qing to show him the way.

As for whether Murong Yanran would follow them? It didn’t really matter.

“Cao Ze and the others have gone to the center,” Xuan Qing spoke once again.

“So Ying Ying and the others probably have also gone there.”

Ying Ying’s team was divided into two groups, one of which followed Cao Ze’s group, while the other followed Jin Yuan’s group.

Jiang Chen was brought here by these people, and this was why it wasn’t a coincidence that he had managed to run across Jin Yuan and the other two women.

“Their deaths will help the Great Demon Lord escape,” Xuan Qing sped up as she spoke.

“Why don’t the Heroes’ Divine Wills interact with people? This situation has occurred because they attacked people for no reason.”

Since they had set up this great plan to strand demons here, this loophole shouldn’t have appeared. This was what Jiang Chen thought.

“They have spent all their time quelling Demon Lords. They couldn’t slack off for even a moment. So how would it be possible for them to explain everything clearly to the people that entered?”

Xuan Qing had a clear understanding of the situation because she had interacted with a certain hero’s Divine Will.

“It’s quite reasonable,” Jiang Chen decided to abstain from discussing this matter, and it was then that he suddenly detected something.

When he turned his head around to take a look, he discovered that Murong Yanran had followed them.

“Did she really push you?” Jiang Chen asked in a low voice.

“That’s right!” Xuan Qing replied with a stern look.

Previously, they had both realized that the situation was anything but reassuring, and they turned around to escape. Xuan Qing’s speed was higher by a tad and was about to surpass Murong Yanran.

But Murong Yanran had spread out her arms and obstructed Xuan Qing, before she pushed her back strongly.

Upon witnessing Xuan Qing’s current ice-cold look, Jiang Chen didn’t know what he should say.

“Every man for himself, and the Devil take the hindmost. I just can’t ever forgive her,” Xuan Qing didn’t need someone’s comfort because she had always had an antisocial and firm character.

When Xuan Qing spoke about this matter, she cast a glance at Jiang Chen out of the corner of her eye, before she averted her gaze from him and strove hard to speak in a calm tone, “It’s the same for you, I will forever remember that you haven’t abandoned me and have come over here to rescue me. I will remember it for my whole life.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head.

The main reason why he had come here was that he had assumed that those were ancient remnants left by the Empyrean Goddess, and the other one was that his magical clone had been seized by people.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t have a chance to explain this matter clearly.
