Unfortunately, as a Spiritual Venerable in the late stage, he was sent flying after only a few punches. Fist prints were all over the armor on him.

However, after he had been sent flying, another seven or eight black-armored guards dashed forward immediately.

After they had been sent flying, another ten soldiers appeared.

It was worse than an attrition battle, since these people were almost endless. It didn’t matter to them any more whether they could get Jiang Chen by punches or kicks. To get him, that was their only goal. As a result, they bumped against him directly.

There was once a time when hundreds of people jumped onto Jiang Chen together, weighing him down like a hill.

However, it only lasted for less than two seconds. A shining white light broke out from the soldiers. Then they were bounced off Jiang Chen by the energy surged from him.

Jiang Chen was armed with thunders. He looked like a divinity coming down to earth.

“That’s wonderful.”

Such successive outbursts were like a full-body massage for him. He felt an unspeakable ease.

“Young Master Wind, since you are strong enough to kill Mu Qitian, why don’t you exchange blows with us other than my soldiers?”

The two Celestial Venerables were extremely unhappy to see their subordinates end up like this. They wanted to save face in person.

“Your time will come. It’s just not now,” Jiang Chen said.

These two were Celestial Venerables in the middle stage, while Mu Qitian was in the preliminary stage. In addition to the state, these two Celestial Venerables’ energies were much stronger.

“Huh.”

Jiang Chen’s rejection pissed them off, but they could do nothing about it. They couldn’t force Jiang Chen to fight with them.

“Young Master Wind? It’s him.”

“I didn’t expect him to come here.”

“This is the Jiangs’ city. He certainly will come.”

The people in the city also learnt who Jiang Chen was and what had happened.

Most of them had no idea that Jiang Chen was just practicing. They thought he was trying to cow the Jiangs into submission.

However, they had to admit he had done a good job.

Many people outside the Jiang Family gave him the thumbs up.

No matter who was in the right, it wasn’t easy to give the Jiangs, the boss force here, a beating on their own territory.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Chen said to Jiang Moliang and Lan. Then they found a place in the city to settle in.

To Jiang Moliang’s surprise, this time Jiang Chen didn’t ask her for resources immediately. He looked quite calm instead.

However, Jiang Moliang wasn’t too happy, either, since she found Jiang Chen would go to exchange blows with the black-armored guards every few days.

He was making things more difficult for him every time. For example, for the second time, he only used one hand.

For the third time, he closed his eyes.

Binding his hands, he defeated the enemy barefoot for the fourth time.

The black-armored guards were never convinced. They were eager to revenge themselves. However, no matter what kind of restrictions Jiang Chen imposed on himself, they would still lose in the end.

Jiang Moliang realized something at the fourth time.

If the first few days could be compared to eating, this Young Master Wind had started to digest.

After the digestion… She was afraid he would start to break through to Celestial Venerable.

The mere thought of such a possibility put Jiang Moliang worried.

Only less than a month had passed, but Jiang Chen was only one step away from Celestial Venerable.

Why would I have the thought that he will defeat Jiang Zhe as long as he achieves Celestial Venerable?

It suddenly occurred to Jiang Moliang while she was feeling worried.

Young Master Wind had been regarded as an underdog because people believed even if he could achieve Celestial Venerable, there would still be a huge gap between Jiang Zhe and him.

Jiang Moliang started to worry because of his fight with Mu Qitian.

This fight made her realize Jiang Chen wasn’t an average man.

So, she wrote down what had happened over the last few days along with her worries and sent the report back to the Jiangs’ original clan.

In the same palace located at the mountain peak, also during the meeting of the Jiangs’ important members, the report regarding Young Master Wind arrived.

The chieftain of the Jiangs took the letter written by Jiang Moliang in person. He frowned at it after reading.

“From now on, don’t bring me any news regarding Young Master Wind when we are in meeting. I don’t want to get my mood spoiled,” the Jiangs’ chieftain said unhappily. Then he passed the letter to the others.

“A Spiritual Venerable killed a Celestial Venerable?”

“He has holy pulse? And he has learnt the holy method corresponding to the holy pulse?”

“He is already a Spiritual Venerable in the late stage?”

His subordinates’ comments made the chieftain angry. He said, “Can you stop repeating an obvious fact in a skeptical tone?”

Nobody answered, because in their opinion, the root cause of all these problems lied in the Jiangs’ chieftain.

They wondered why he had wanted to take a blood oath. But sure, they had this doubt not because they would rather declare war on the Elixir Association.

They just didn’t think it wise to ask for a Divine Martial Trial for the sake of a five elements disciple when they were not in the right.

“When you think yourselves wise in hindsight, think about the situation back then.” As a shrewd man, the Jiangs’ chieftain detected what was on these people’s mind.

His subordinates involuntarily nodded after thinking.

Back then, who could anticipate that Young Master Wind was so threatening? As far as they knew, he was only a young Heaven Alchemist.

They didn’t mean to kill Young Master Wind in the Divine Martial Trial. They only wanted to bring this Heaven Alchemist, the future Immortal Alchemist, under control through the result of the Divine Martial Trial.

The Jiangs’ chieftain even had thought about the request he was going to make. He would ask Young Master Wind to refine an immortal elixir for the Jiangs over a limited period of time!

However, by then, not only they didn’t get the immortal elixir, but also something severe would probably happen soon.

“You can be dismissed. Bring Jiang Zhe here.”

Seeing these people unable to propose a solution, the Jiangs’ chieftain was very disappointed.

Jiang Zhe walked in after those people had left. He didn’t speak. He was just looking at his father in silence.

“Are you still mad at me?”

The Jiangs’ chieftain said, “If we can keep a Heaven Alchemist under control and make him refine an immortal elixir for us, it will certainly be yours.”

Jiang Zhe’s manner relaxed a little, but he wasn’t completely convinced yet.

“You are the next chieftain. You have to be far-sighted. Do you still remember the story of snowfield I told you?”

“In a range of snow mountains, many people who can’t practice have to work in the mountains for a long time. Food becomes a big problem for them. So, they have the habit to leave some of their food along the way.”

Jiang Zhe recalled the story by then. He said, “Yeah, I remember. Father you said something like this. Some people and some things are like the food along the way. They might not be the most in need, but you will need them sooner or later.”

Then, he looked he was pondering on something. He was thinking in what way he should think as a qualified chieftain.

The Jiangs’ chieftain showed an approving expression. His son would make a good leader. He was sure about that.

“That being said, I think that Young Master Wind is only a worthless gravel,” Jiang Zhe said.

The Jiangs’ chieftain involuntarily showed a helpless expression. Aiming too high and too proud, this was a common problem among young people.

“You are wrong. Young Master Wind is a nutrient meal.”

The Jiangs’ chieftain said, “What if I tell you, even Fang Wentian is thinking about killing Young Master Wind in order to remove a potential risk? Are you still unhappy with my decision?”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Zhe was confused. He didn’t understand what his father was trying to say.
