Chapter 2577: Chapter 2580: Succeed
"Brother Su, I can’t make decisions on this matter!"
Zuo Lincheng smiled bitterly and spoke softly.
Outsiders are unaware, only those array-oriented families know that among the younger generations, only Su Qingluan can uphold the Su Family. However, there’s an elder in the family who is the strongest among all array-oriented families. If one truly angers him, no family can withstand it.
"No need to say this to me. If there’s an opportunity, have your ancestor speak with mine!"
Su Lieyang spoke indifferently, then turned and glanced at Yan Hu: "We’ve investigated Jiang Chen because we wanted to invite him. I hope Young Master Yan Hu doesn’t mind."
"The Young Master doesn’t fear investigation!"
Yan Hu was slightly stunned, not understanding what Su Lieyang meant, and replied in a muffled voice.
"Mr Jiang is an upright person, naturally there’s no need to fear investigation! Jiang Chen is a disciple of Elder Hu Yiqiu, and the Princess Chang has seen him. He was rewarded with the entire stock of a First-Class Family during the Mingqian Realm tournament, and furthermore..."
Su Lieyang smiled slightly as he looked back at Zuo Lincheng: "The little princess once cultivated with him for a period. Although it wasn’t long, while they don’t have the title of teacher and student, they do have the reality of it. Zuo Lincheng, if your Zuo Clan wants to cause trouble, perhaps you should ask whether these few individuals approve!"
"What!? Jiang Chen received Princess Chang’s reward?"
"Damn, he even has the reality of being a teacher and student with the little princess!?"
"This... this guy... no wonder he’s not afraid of the Canglan Army!"
"It seems it’s true that Princess Chang and the little princess invited him to join the Canglan Army and were rejected?!"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, their eyes revealing shock.
Zuo Lincheng’s heart trembled, his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Princess Chang’s reward might be related to Hu Yiqiu, while the Si Family commands the continent, generally not intervening in disputes among major forces unless it involves Hu Yiqiu. As long as it’s not acting against Hu Yiqiu, Princess Chang shouldn’t intervene, as their intervention would cause too much influence.
However, if Jiang Chen truly has a teacher-student relationship with the little princess, and if Jiang Chen were to die, it would be natural for the little princess to avenge him!
At this moment, Zuo Lincheng felt regret and a sense of remorse for coming to the Gold-devouring Rat Clan, as how wonderful it would be if he didn’t know about Jiang Chen’s matters.
Rustle!
Just then, a brilliant golden light shone from the blood-red light screen in the sky, prompting everyone to look up hastily.
Inside the ancestral ground.
Jiang Chen released his Primordial Spirit Power to inspect the surrounding space.
Divine Sense is good but tends to miss things within the void. For breaking formations, Primordial Spirit Power is more suitable!
Jiang Chen’s primordial spirit is already nearing solidity, with the Divine Sense starting to transform, about to fully integrate into the primordial spirit. Using Primordial Spirit Power is far more effective than simply using Divine Sense to explore.
The cryptic golden radiance quickly spread around, sweeping across a ten-mile radius instantly.
Hmm?
Suddenly, the unmoving Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows gently.
"Only a ten-mile radius?"
His eyes opened slowly, revealing a hint of puzzlement in his gaze. According to his perception, the range of the ancestral ground seemed to only be a ten-mile radius.
"That’s not right! When I came in, behind me was open, but judging from the Primordial Spirit’s perception, the place I entered was the edge of the ancestral ground, but..."
A thoughtful expression crossed Jiang Chen’s eyes.
"I understand!"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s eyes lit up.
"Such an interesting formation, one enters it as soon as they come in. The fluctuation felt upon entering is likely the location of the formation eye, but nearby it’s impossible to perceive again."
Jiang Chen murmured to himself, glanced around, and lightly smiled: "Within the formation, a space is created. Once you enter this space you fall into the formation, appearing real but actually illusory, seemingly illusory but truly existing. This formation... is composed of pressure... so that’s it!"
The corner of his mouth curled, his eyes revealing an enlightened smile.
Buzz!
The Great Dao Divine Light disappeared from Jiang Chen’s body, Spiritual Power ceased to operate, and his aura subsided.
A terrifying pressure loomed, pressing hard onto Jiang Chen.
Roar!
A dragon’s roar resounded within Jiang Chen, all his apertures opened, aura not exposed, yet moving beneath his skin, blocking the pressure from the space.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows, a surprising expression crossing his eyes.
As he mobilized the Dragon Qi within his body to set up a defense, he felt a familiar sensation, as if this entire space was...
"Lord Ancestral Dragon?"
A look of shock appeared in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
Rustle!
At that moment, seemingly affected by the Dragon Qi within Jiang Chen, the whole space trembled, dazzling golden light shooting from all directions, even causing cracks in the surrounding space, with streaks of golden radiance shining on Jiang Chen.
"It truly is Lord Ancestral Dragon’s presence! This place contains intense Dragon Qi! What on earth is happening?"
Jiang Chen was incredibly shocked, looking at the golden radiance in the air in disbelief.
"What is he doing?"
"He retracted his power; isn’t he afraid of dying inside?"
"What’s happening? What power are those golden radiances?"
"Is the light screen about to explode? What did he do?"
In the square, members of the Gold-devouring Rat Clan exclaimed in disbelief, staring at the light screen filled with golden radiance.
Jin Tianqiong, Jin Ang, Jin Ming, and others trembled, eyes showing excited and mixed feelings, staring directly at the light screen, faces full of anticipation.
"Is Brother Jiang about to succeed?"
"Could Brother Jiang really successfully retrieve the Spiritual Fire?"
Su Qingpeng and Huo Qiong both showed incredulous expressions, then exchanged glances, eyes filled with mutual delight.
If Jiang Chen retrieves the Spiritual Fire, with the Gold-devouring Rat Clan’s protection and the Su Family, there would be no need to overly fear the array-oriented families’ alliance. The Su Family and Gold-devouring Rat Clan’s retribution would force even the combined strength of all array-oriented families in the Canglan Domain to reconsider thoroughly.
"Impossible! Impossible! How did he do it? This can’t be a sign of retrieving the Spiritual Fire! He must fail and be expelled by the ancestral ground, surely!"
Zuo Qiqi spoke with a pale face, eyes filled with panic.
She also realized, if the Gold-devouring Rat Clan and the Su Family protected Jiang Chen together, plus Jiang Chen’s ties with Hu Yiqiu, Princess Chang, and the little princess, the array-oriented families truly wouldn’t dare to touch him.
In this way, offending him so much herself, wouldn’t that be...?
