Chapter 2274: Chapter 2278: Danger Ahead
Changlin Academy.
Whoosh!
Several figures swiftly rushed into the Valley Mystery Array, using their identity tokens to pass through quickly.
"Zhang Qian, you go find Elder Wine-crazed, I’ll go report to the Dean!"
Sun Yao gave a command and, with a flash of his figure, rushed towards the Jing Si Pavilion at the back of the academy.
"Yes!"
Zhang Qian responded and turned to leap towards the South Maniac Mountain.
At this time, Zhang Qian was already a top student in the Mid Divine Infant Realm, having earned the title of a core student, and had obtained the Array Talisman that allowed him to cultivate using the forces of heaven and earth at the Four Mountains.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
With rapid leaps along the way, Zhang Qian quickly arrived at the South Maniac Mountain Peak.
Although he didn’t know why Jiang Chen entrusted him to invite Hu Yiqiu to the ceremony, Jiang Chen had helped him many times before, so he would certainly complete what Jiang Chen asked as a priority.
"Greetings, Elder Wine-crazed, Greetings, Elder Bei Mo."
Reaching the end of the mountain path, Zhang Qian stood on the last step of the path, looked at Hu Yiqiu who was playing chess with Li Yukun under a locust tree, and loudly greeted, clasping his fists to salute the two.
"Zhang Qian? Why are you here? Aren’t you out on a mission?"
Yun Tao, who was standing beside the two elders, walked towards Zhang Qian with a puzzled expression.
"Senior Yun Tao, we encountered Jiang Chen on our way back, and he asked me to invite Elder Wine-crazed to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Zhang Qian responded softly.
"Young Jiang wants you to have me go to the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Upon hearing it was concerning Jiang Chen, Hu Yiqiu dropped the chess piece in his hand and flickered next to Zhang Qian. This time, Li Yukun didn’t accuse Hu Yiqiu of taking the opportunity to cheat like he usually did, but also leaped over.
"Yes."
Zhang Qian lightly nodded his head.
"What exactly did he say?"
Hu Yiqiu slightly furrowed his brow.
He had just exited seclusion, and Yun Tao had already told him about Jiang Chen and Sang Zhenye going to the Heavenly Sword Sect. With Sang Zhenye by his side, Hu Yiqiu was at ease, for although the Heavenly Sword Sect was a top power in the Shenmu Prefecture, it was, in the grand scheme of Mingqian Realm, merely a second-rate power. The strongest within their sect was just an early stage Unity Realm Stage elder, posing no real threat to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen said, if Elder Wine-crazed is out of seclusion, then please go; if the elder is still in seclusion, then please ask Elder Bei Mo to go."
Zhang Qian glanced at Li Yukun and softly spoke.
Hu Yiqiu and Li Yukun exchanged glances, their expressions slightly changing.
"From what you say, it doesn’t seem like he wants you to attend the ceremony and introduce people from his hometown to you!"
Li Yukun looked up at Hu Yiqiu, his expression turning a bit serious.
"Heavenly Sword Sect... not good!"
A figure of Tang Lin suddenly flashed in Hu Yiqiu’s mind, and he exclaimed: "The Vice Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect is Tang Lin, the concealed second son of Zhang Yubo. Young Jiang killed Tang Lin’s son, and he must have sensed something wrong, he is in danger!"
Brush!
Before he finished speaking, Hu Yiqiu’s figure had already vanished from the South Maniac Mountain Peak, a stream of rainbow light rapidly streaking towards Mingyuan City in the distance.
"Yun Tao, inform the Dean that Jiang Chen is in danger. I’ll go to the Heavenly Sword Sect with the old drunk!"
Li Yukun’s expression changed, he softly instructed, and then flashed away chasing after Hu Yiqiu.
"Jiang Chen is in danger?"
Zhang Qian’s expression tightened, he had heard Hu Yiqiu’s exclamation and recalling how Jiang Chen embarrassed Zhang Yubo at the Mingqian Banquet, his heart suddenly tensed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three figures descended onto the South Maniac Mountain Peak from the air. Jian Cangqiong, having heard Sun Yao’s report on the Nether Kui Snake incident, rushed over with Dao Yeming, and Li Qingzhu, wanting to inquire if Hu Yiqiu had heard any more details about the Nether Kui Snake from Jiang Chen.
"Greetings, Dean, Greetings, Elder Xi Nu, Greetings, Elder Dong Xian!"
Yun Tao and the others quickly greeted.
"Yun Tao, where did the old wine go?"
Jian Cangqiong glanced in the direction Hu Yiqiu and Li Yukun had left and asked puzzledly.
"Dean, junior brother is in danger, Master and Elder Bei Mo went to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Yun Tao concisely responded.
"What? Jiang Chen is in danger? Isn’t Elder Sang with him? Does the Heavenly Sword Sect have someone to contend with Elder Sang?"
Li Qingzhu exclaimed in surprise.
"Master said, that Tang Lin is Zhang Yubo’s hidden second son!"
Yun Tao spoke, eyes filled with concern.
"Zhang Yubo!?"
Li Qingzhu’s face altered, her expression immediately turning solemn: "Is he going to make a move against Jiang Chen?"
"Let’s go!"
Jian Cangqiong’s expression became stern, and he called out, flashing into the air, dashing toward Mingyuan City.
Dao Yeming and Li Qingzhu soared into the sky after him.
Jiang Chen has great grace towards Changlin Academy, they absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to him!
"Yun Tao, invite Elder Hu to exit seclusion and guard the academy!"
From the sky came Jian Cangqiong’s instructions.
"Yes!"
Yun Tao shouted in response, and his figure moved, leaping down the mountain.
...
Heavenly Sword Sect back mountain platform.
"I didn’t expect you all to have been through so much!"
After a moment of silence, Qin Chaolan softly sighed, casting a glance at Lin Yuyan, her eyes showing a hint of pity.
Even she, who was protective, couldn’t bring herself to do anything that might harm this sentiment after hearing Jiang Chen’s account.
Lin Yuyan noticed Qin Chaolan’s gaze, smiled slightly at her, wiped away the tears from her eyes, revealing a resolute expression.
Qin Chaolan paused for a moment and then smiled with relief, knowing Lin Yuyan had made up her mind. Whether to continue to secretly admire or to let go of this feeling, at least, it won’t affect her state of mind anymore!
"Jiang Chen, you must feel wronged!"
Sang Zhenye suddenly spoke, looking at Jiang Chen apologetically.
Jiang Chen was a bit taken aback and turned to look at Sang Zhenye.
"You must be eager to improve your strength, right? Yet for the academy, you’ve been restraining the advancement of your realm."
Sang Zhenye’s eyes revealed a trace of gratitude, Jiang Chen has contributed a lot for the academy!
"Teacher, it’s nothing, even without boosting my realm, refining spiritual power can also enhance strength, it’s also laying a solid foundation for future cultivation."
Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The sound of something breaking through the air came, four figures appeared at the edge of the platform, also several more figures emerged in the air not far away.
Jiang Chen and the others were stunned for a moment, and simultaneously turned their heads to look.
"Greetings, Elder Sang, Elder Qin!"
At the platform edge, a middle-aged man led three youths to salute to Sang Zhenye and Qin Chaolan.
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes slightly. Among the three youths, two were Lin Hao and Lin Li, who he had just defeated. Their injuries had obviously been treated, their aura stabilized, and their faces were no longer pale.
The other young man was a cultivator in the Late Divine Infant Realm, judging by his aura, he had already set one foot into the Divine Infant Realm Peak.
