Chapter 2296: Chapter 2300: The Primordial Spirit Remains
Puff!
Murdered the four primordial spirit powers of the Eight-Headed, Jiang Chen’s face turned paler, he opened his mouth and spewed a mouthful of blood, his body swayed and fell downward.
Swoosh!
Sang Zhenye’s expression changed, his figure flickered and arrived below Jiang Chen, reaching out to catch him.
"Enough!"
Jiang Chen weakly said.
Buzz!
Sang Zhenye and several others retracted the released power, surrounding Jiang Chen.
"Those Mansion Guard Army..."
Sang Zhenye seemed to remember something, glanced at the corpses of the Mansion Guard Army below.
"I just inspected, even within Lin Fan and the others, there isn’t anything, I suppose none of the Mansion Guard Army have it inside, that Eight-Headed... oh, the Nether Kui Snake could not have wasted primordial spirit power on those Mansion Guard Army!"
Jiang Chen explained softly, forcing himself to stay awake, "Teacher, San Feng Predecessor, Elder Qin, please keep my ability to locate the Nether Kui Snake’s primordial spirit power a secret, it concerns one of my secrets!"
The three were taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Remind Yu Yan and the others."
Jiang Chen spoke softly, and then his head tilted as he fell into unconsciousness.
...
Changlin Academy, Southern Maniac Mountain.
At the mountain peak, Hu Yiqiu, Sang Zhenye and others sat around a stone table, Zhang Sanfeng, Qin Chaolan, and the Tong Hai brothers were also among them.
"Why is Jiang Chen still cultivating? Should we call him? The people from Canglan City will arrive soon, and those selecting students for the Main Court will come along with them."
Jian Cangqiong glanced at Jiang Chen’s wooden house, then turned to look at Hu Yiqiu.
In Jiang Chen’s wooden house, a vigorous great dao aura was emanating.
It had been a month since the Heavenly Sword Sect battle ended, after the war ended, Sang Zhenye and Zhang Sanfeng rushed to the nearby mountain peak to help Hu Yiqiu and others kill Zhang Yubo, but unexpectedly, Hei Yuan appeared abruptly to rescue Zhang Yubo from the siege.
Two Integration Realm Peak experts teamed up to flee, and Hu Yiqiu and others couldn’t stop them.
After Zhang Yubo and the others fled, the pursuing Tong Hai brothers reached the Heavenly Sword Sect, if it wasn’t for Sang Zhenye’s timely explanation, Hu Yiqiu and others would have had a bout with the Tong Hai brothers.
Jian Cangqiong used special means to relay the events of the Heavenly Sword Sect to the Changling Main Court, emphasizing the matters of Zhang Yubo and the Nether Kui Snake. Upon receiving the news, the Changling Main Court quickly informed Canglan City.
This event caught the attention of Canglan City; regardless of the appearance of the Nether Kui Snake or the slaughter by a domain lord within his territory, it was enough to cause a sensation. Canglan City immediately sent people to Changlin Academy for an on-the-spot investigation.
And because the entrance exam for the Changling Main Court was approaching, the personnel who came to select students accompanied them.
With the Heavenly Sword Sect gone, Qin Chaolan and others sorted out the sect’s belongings, buried the bodies of their people, and came to Changlin Academy together.
Within this half month, after Jiang Chen fell unconscious and returned to the academy on the second day, he woke up; but upon waking, he immediately entered a cultivation state.
Hu Yiqiu and others knew that Jiang Chen likely had a revelation from the battle, and Sang Zhenye secretly informed them that Jiang Chen had condensed two great dao divine rings of light and darkness, which probably required familiarization. So they did not disturb him, and some questions could wait until he finished his retreat. Anyway, the people from Canglan City would take some time to arrive.
But unexpectedly, this waiting stretched until now; the people from Canglan City and the Main Court were almost at Mingyuan City, yet Jiang Chen hadn’t come out of his retreat.
Buzz!
Jian Cangqiong’s voice barely fell, before Hu Yiqiu could reply, the great dao aura within Jiang Chen’s wooden house faded slowly.
Everyone exchanged glances and fell silent again.
Kacha!
After a while, the door of the wooden house opened, and Jiang Chen emerged.
Seeing so many people outside, Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, then walked towards them and cupped his fist in salute.
"You brat, finally out! Hurry, let’s talk, the people investigating Zhang Yubo from Canglan City and the Main Court are almost here; quickly, tell us which things are unspeakable!"
Hu Yiqiu spoke with pride and arrogance as he looked at Jiang Chen, his gaze filled with pride and admiration.
He had heard about Jiang Chen’s accomplishments at the Heavenly Sword Sect battle from Sang Zhenye; although Zhang Sanfeng had bolstered his strength, it was Jiang Chen who set up the formation, killing dozens of Virtual Refinement Realm experts in one sweep — such a record was enough to make Hu Yiqiu happy for years.
A disciple achieving excellent results is exactly what a master wishes to see, isn’t it?
Regarding Hu Yiqiu’s description of ’unspeakable,’ Jiang Chen gave him a big eye roll, yet he indeed had some things that couldn’t be revealed publicly; otherwise, they’d attract unwanted trouble.
"There’s nothing much else, just that the ability to probe the Nether Kui Snake’s primordial spirit involves one of my secrets. If the people from Canglan City scrutinize this, it might bring me some trouble."
Jiang Chen understood the arrival of the people from Canglan City perfectly, given the seriousness of Zhang Yubo and the Nether Kui Snake. Moreover, he knew the Main Court arrival was imminent, given the upcoming student selection and Changlin Academy’s pivotal role in the recent war, demanding investigation with Main Court involvement.
"No problem, we have already coordinated on this during your retreat."
Hu Yiqiu nodded lightly.
None of them asked Jiang Chen why he wanted to keep things hidden or what was involved behind the scenes, understanding everyone has their secrets, and they weren’t too inquisitive.
"As for others..."
Jiang Chen pondered, then gently shook his head, "Let’s leave it at that, if we hide too much and the people from Canglan City find something, that would not be good!"
Everyone nodded, discussed a little more, and Jian Cangqiong and several others left Southern Maniac Mountain.
"San Feng Predecessor, Elder Qin, Elder Peng, Tong Hai Predecessor... what are your plans?"
Jiang Chen glanced at Zhang Sanfeng and the others, softly spoke, "How about joining Changlin Academy? You won’t be overly constrained here and can cultivate peacefully."
"Haha! You brat, you think alike with the dean."
Hu Yiqiu smiled gently, "The dean already invited them, everyone except Zhang Sanfeng will stay at the academy."
"Ah? San Feng Predecessor, you..."
Jiang Chen was surprised, actually he most wished for Zhang Sanfeng to stay, as he was his fellow townsman, and Jian Cangqiong and others could look after him if he stayed at the academy.
"Mr Jiang, I won’t stay."
Zhang Sanfeng lightly shook head, glanced at the Money Sword hanging from his waist:
"With a trace of origin primordial spirit from Daoling Predecessor here, when comprehending the Dao rhythm, I have a sense that with this trace of origin primordial spirit, as long as I reach the Supreme Realm, I can resurrect him."
