The Brilliant Fighting Master

“Who wants to cause me trouble?”

At first Jiang Chen had no idea what it was about, but, after thinking it over, he said, “It’s that Liu Yuefeng, isn’t it?”

“Yes. They’ve been blocking the gates of Dragon Tiger Mountain and have put informers everywhere throughout the Nine Peaks. And then you just swaggered back in without anyone noticing,” Xiao Nuo said with a smile.

Jiang Chen frowned, but not because he was worried about anything.

“Xiao Nuo, as Leader the Venerable, why are you going to let that Liu Yuefeng do whatever she wants?”

“Well, you tell me one thing. Has Liu Yuefeng done anything wrong? She has her stupid little clique for private gain, but she has also made the celestial palace thrive. If I punish her for your sake, what would that make the celestial palace?” said Xiao Nuo.

Standing next to her, Ye Xue was a little worried that Jiang Chen would be irritated.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen knew Xiao Nuo well. He knew this was the way she spoke.

“Putting our relations aside, you are a vice leader and she is also a vice leader. As long as you don’t jeopardize the celestial palace’s interests, no matter how you jostle for power, no matter how many conflicts you have, I don’t have any reason to meddle in,” added Xiao Nuo.

“I guess I took it for granted that you’d want to help me,” said Jiang Chen.

Xiao Nuo was right. He’d confounded their romantic relationship and their partnership in the celestial palace.

“Are you angry?” Xiao Nuo looked at him a little nervously.

“You think I would get angry with you for this? I’m just a little upset because I can’t stand that woman. When I become a Venerable Sovereign, I’ll press my body against yours and push you into bed. I’m wondering what you’ll say then.”

Then Jiang Chen slapped this female Venerable Sovereign on the butt with his big hand.

Ye Xue was so embarrassed that her face flushed when she saw the slap.

“I’m waiting.” Xiao Nuo put her mouth next to his ear, and he felt a hot gentle breeze blowing past his ear. Xiao Nuo said in a low voice, “However, it’s time for you to solve your problem as vice leader now.”

Then Xiao Nuo vanished from there and went back to her residential palace.

Jiang Chen and Ye Xue exchanged a look and then headed for the Main Peak.

At the Main Peak, people were still in the shock because of the nine tolls of the Sovereign Bell.

They were not as petrified as they’d been in the beginning. At the moment, they’d wanted to say something to express their feelings, but couldn’t find any words. It was a funny scene.

“It’s impossible,” Yue’er finally said, her face full of suspicion.

Due to a temporary shortage of Venerable Sovereigns, the whole world had gradually reached a consensus during the last three years. That was that those who’d broken through to Venerable Sovereigns very late were the least talented.

This could be proved by the tolling history of the Sovereign Bell during the last three years. Cases with more than five tolls all happened in the first year.

As a result, people had reached the conclusion that outstanding Venerable Sovereigns wouldn’t appear in the world again until there’d been a stable infusion of young blood and some of them had gained some attainments.

They’d assumed it would at least take ten years for this day to come.

During these ten years, the attention would be shifted to when the current Venerable Sovereigns would become Divine Kings.

So, the nine bells that had tolled for Ye Xue were really very unusual.

“I want to see her. Tell her to come over,” said Yue’er in a frosty voice. Her arrogant tone immediately incurred the three grand Elders’ wrath.

“Unless we receive an order from Leader the Venerable, we don’t follow orders from you.” Tianya took an intransigent attitude.

Yue’er got pissed off.

She stepped forward. Her soft body emitted a mighty energy. Pressured by this energy, the three grand Elders could barely breathe.

“I am a Venerable Sovereign, a key member of the Sacred Institute, a Senior Supreme Venerable with access to the Supreme Venerable Hall. You three old Elders who are below Venerable Sovereign status, who do you think you are? How dare you disobey me!”

One’s social position was decided by one’s strength. If you possessed a strong state, you could make life-and-death decisions for others.

However, after having major developments, many forces had become allies, and hence a complicated partnership network had come into existence.

Sometimes, if a small force was cracked down on, this small force would turn to a bigger force for help. Even if this bigger force was nothing to be afraid of, there could be stronger forces allied with them.

As a result, Martial-level strong people wouldn’t kill weaker ones easily.

The reason Jiang Chen had been called a lunatic was he’d completely disregarded these network of forces, and he killed whomever he wanted to kill. Even though some people sought revenge against him, he always managed to land on his feet. And he’d never stopped rising.

Back to the story, due to the peculiarity of the Ling Long Celestial Palace, Yue’er knew she didn’t have to consider the opinions of the three grand Elders.

What was the worst that would happen even if she killed them? She could just walk away by making the excuse that they had been a threat to her authority.

Yue’er did not believe that Red Cloud Venerable would punish her, a reincarnated Sovereign Soul who had the right to vote in the Supreme Venerable Hall. These three Elders weren’t even Venerable Sovereigns.

Under the pressure of the aggressive energy emitted by Yue’er, Tianya and the other two didn’t dare say a word despite being angry.

At this moment, they kind of regretted that they hadn’t taken good advantage of the past three years, since they hadn’t had the nerve to confront the ko of thunder that they would have had to confront when breaking through to Venerable Sovereign, as a result of which, they were being humiliated by a young woman.

“I’ll kill you if you still refuse to go,” Yue’er said menacingly.

The three grand Elders looked at each other without speaking.

“Are you going to kill grand Elders in my Ling Long Celestial Palace?”

At this moment, a strong wind blew over and dispelled the pressure caused by Yue’er.

The three grand Elders started gasping for air, as if they had finally been relieved. Then they looked up emotionally.

That voice had sounded familiar to them.

It had sounded familiar to Liu Yuefeng too.

“It’s Jiang Chen,” she said to her daughter.

Yue’er, in a fit of anger, threw a sharp look up into the air, as if she’d finally found the person on whom she could vent her anger.

Her eyes suddenly got huge. A woman in the air had caught her attention.

“She is stunning!” The celestial palace’s disciples were totally shocked by her beauty. They just couldn’t take their eyes off her.

Ye Xue, following Jiang Chen, showed her charm as the number one on the Beauty List.

The woman who had claimed beauty was subjective probably wouldn’t say such an ignorant thing again for the rest of her life.

“The ninth toll.”

Yue’er had wanted to see where the gap between this woman and herself was, but the more she looked at Ye Xue, the more helpless and the unhappier she felt.

Fortunately, she found Jiang Chen was next to Ye Xue.

“At least my man is much better than he is.”

At this thought, Yue’er regained her inner peace. Staring at Jiang Chen, she said in a sarcastic tone, “I was wondering how long you would be hiding.”

“Rude!”

“How dare you!”

Some people came forward to scold her immediately. Jiang Chen was vice leader of the celestial palace. He enjoyed great prestige here.

“Did I say anything wrong?” Yue’er was smiling, fat-headed.

She didn’t believe it could be a coincidence that Jiang Chen had happened to leave for something just when she’d just arrived at the celestial palace.

Most important, none of the informers she’d deployed throughout the Dragon Tiger Mountain had reported anything back to her.

To her that meant that Jiang Chen hadn’t returned from outside. Instead, he must have been hiding here during these last days.

He’d finally shown up because the Spiritual Land Battle would start soon.

“You’re not a member of the celestial palace, are you?” asked Jiang Chen.

“No, I’m not. I’m a member of the Eighth Group of the Sacred Institute, ranked 35th among recognized Senior Supreme Venerables, and a reincarnated Sovereign Soul. My name is An Yingyue.”

Yue’er introduced herself proudly, without understanding Jiang Chen’s question.

“So, why are you here today?” Jiang Chen continued, “You threatened to kill our grand Elders right in their own celestial palace and then you offended a vice leader. The celestial palace can’t be offended like that. We’ll use your blood to wash your offenses off of the celestial palace.”

“What did you say?” An Yingyue doubted whether she had heard everything correctly. Jiang Chen had the nerve to threaten her even after he’d learned about her identity and her strength?

“Do you even know what Senior Supreme Venerable means?”
