âIf I was in your place, I would just put an end to my life by myself,â Young Master Shenji said.
Since the Jiang family was this determined about killing Jiang Chen, he would surely die then.
âAs expected of the Jiang family!â Jiang Chen flew to the sky above the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, while all kinds of Jiang familyâs weapons, which could tear him to shreds, were pointed at him.
They could take his life at any time.
The Great Venerable didnât care about Jiang Chenâs words, and he just squinted his eyes.
As for Jiang Zhe, he looked at him fixedly, and wanted to see what was so special about him.
The two divine pieces of arts were destroyed by his familyâs Great Venerable before he even saw them. He didnât know whether they were genuine or not, and whether Tian Ling just lied to protect Jiang Chen.
âSince you already investigated everything clearly, why donât you inform everyone my name?â Jiang Chen asked.
He still didnât get any reply from them.
Many people shook their heads and sighed, it would be impossible for Jiang Chen to save himself regardless of what he said.
âOr is your Jiang family aware about how disgraceful is this matter?â Jiang Chen said coldly.
The Great Venerable curled his lips, and still didnât speak, and it was just Jiang Chenâs voice alone, which echoed in the city.
The Jiang familyâs black-armored guards wore a firm look, and they would attack as soon as they got an order.
Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders when he witnessed the Jiang familyâs current attitude. He said, âMiss Tian Ling, concludes todayâs Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs event.â
Many of the Jiang familyâs people reacted when they heard his words.
âYoung Master Feng?â Tian Ling was startled. Concluding the Civil and Martial Arts Instituteâs event was tantamount to putting an end to his life.
âIt doesnât matter.â Jiang Chen swept the Jiang familyâs troops with his gaze, and spoke loudly, âRegardless of whether the Civil and Martial Arts Institute come to end or not, I will withdraw from it by myself.â
When his words echoed, the Great Venerableâs eyes snapped open. His ice-cold gaze seemed like it would penetrate Jiang Chenâs heart.
âYou can just die then.â
After the Great Venerable spoke, he pointed his finger at him, and a shooting star-like ray streaked across the sky.
Jiang Chen would surely die if it struck him.
âJiang family, you are really overbearing!â
At this moment, three powerful auras in the sky tore open the barrier set by the Jiang familyâs war chariots, and descended from the sky.
The three people landed before Jiang Chen, and extinguished the ray of light easily.
If one observed them, he would notice that they were three old men, whose ages surpassed a hundred years, but they were still bursting with life, and their back was straight and upright.
âGreat Venerables!â
They still didnât recognize them, but the three peopleâs cultivation levels shocked the crowd.
Jiang Chen didnât expect that the Elixir Association would be this flamboyant. Those three old men werenât people the Sacred Martial Arts Instituteâs senile Great Venerables could rival, and Jiang Chen could felt a boundless aura, as well as fighting spirit, from their bodies.
âThe Elixir Associationâs members!â
The crowd quickly noticed that the three Great Venerables all had the same insignia on their chests.
It was difficult to oblige Great Venerables to wear the same regulated clothes, or the same insignia because they already reached the Great Venerable Realm, and broke free of all restraints.
However, some powerful factions could still let Great Venerables do it willingly, and the Elixir Association was one of them.
The unfathomable Jiang familyâs Great Venerableâs expression finally changed, and he furrowed his brows tightly.
âElixir Associationâs seniors, what do you mean by this?â
The Great Venerable still didnât speak, and Jiang Zhe spoke first, âThis person killed a five elements disciple...â
âJiang Zhe!â
The Elixir Associationâs Great Venerable interrupted him, and said, âEven if he killed you, we will still protect him.â
Such light words put on all people in the city a great pressure, which almost suffocated them.
After they got over it, each person wished greatly to know who was Jiang Chen, what was his origin, and why he deserved the Elixir Associationâs protection?
After Jiang Zhe, who looked down upon Jiang Chen, heard such words, he was obviously not willing to accept them, but he still didnât dare to challenge a Great Venerable.
âShouldnât the Elixir Association give us an explication?â The Jiang familyâs Great Venerable asked.
The three old men looked at each other, and made way.
Jiang Chen stepped forward, with his expressions apathetic like how was the outer partyâs expression a moment ago. He said, âThere isnât any explication, just get lost!â
The crowd almost screeched when they heard the words âget lostâ, and all people in the Sacred Martial Arts Institute looked at Li Bai.
They all looked at him because Jiang Chen was a guest invited by Li Bai, and it was due to such a reason didnât they take Jiang Chen seriously at first.
They were now waiting for Li Bai to give them an explication.
However, even Li Bai himself was dumbfounded, and he really didnât expect that even someone, which he found casually, could confront the Jiang family.
It wasnât surprising that he didnât mention the Jiang familyâs affair, as it would be useless even if he mentioned it.
âFine, fine. It seems like this year, the Jiang family will purchase elixirs just from the Elixir Fire Union.â The Jiang familyâs Great Venerable wouldnât have any odd of success if he faced three people by himself, and he could only threaten them in such a way.
The Jiang family was a great influential family, and its business and dealings were all great.
Moreover, it could still cause a chain reaction from the others due to its influence.
They all wanted to see what would be the Elixir Associationâs response after they heard such words.
âPlease do as you wish!â The Elixir Associationâs three Great Venerables replied without even giving it a thought.
The Jiang familyâs Great Venerable felt like he just punched thin air, and he almost went crazy.
He couldnât bear it any longer, and he let go of himself, âYou should at least give us an explication. Did your Elixir Association already became this arrogant?â
âWe must first inform you that if you donât choose the Elixir Association, it isnât our loss, but your Jiang familyâs loss.â
The Elixir Associationâs Great Venerable was calm and composed, and didnât care at all about the outer partyâs anger.
The Jiang familyâs ended up in the same predicament as Jiang Chen a moment ago. He had many matters he wanted to discuss, yet he didnât get any reply from them.
However, what was different was that Jiang Chen was just a Spiritual Venerable, and it was normal for him to end in such predicament while facing the Jiang familyâs troops.
But, the outer party was a Great Venerable, and he almost couldnât bear the crowdâs peculiar gazes.
âFine!â The Great Venerable clenched his teeth, and it was unknown what he just did, but the ray of lights connecting the war chariots together started transforming, and they turned into a personâs face.
When the faceâs features became clear and distinct, all influential people in the city were shocked.
It was the Jiang Familyâs Master.
âElixir Associationâs friends, please state clearly the reasons behind such actions,â the Jiang Familyâs Master said.
Since it was a Family Master speaking to them, the Elixir Associationâs three Great Venerables glanced at each other, and changed their attitudes.
âYoung Master Feng is our Elixir Associationâs Heaven Alchemist, and in this affair, itâs your Jiang familyâs disciple, who wanted to kill him and steal his treasure, and he even depended upon his influence to hunt him down,â one of the Great Venerables spoke.
âA Heaven Alchemist? Him?â
Jiang Zhe, who wasnât far from them, was dumbfounded, and he was amazed by it even more than the fact that Jiang Chen made two divine pieces of arts.
However, he still understood now why the Elixir Associationâs attitude was this unyielding, as well as why it said that it would be the Jiang familyâs loss.
Since the Elixir Association possessed such a young Heaven Alchemist, it would be probably capable in the future of making Immortal Elixirs, or even Divine Elixirs.
Such a type of elixir could alter the power structure of all Three Middle Realms.
The people in the Civil and Martial Arts Institute were shocked once again, and it was especially the case for Young Master Shenji.
His Constellation Palace wasnât equal to even a single branch of the Elixir Association, however, it was still fortunate that the latter was a special faction, who wouldnât attack any factions first, or else, he would have really regretted all of his words and actions.
âItâs our Jiang familyâs disciple which died in this affair,â the Jiang Familyâs Master quieted for a long while before he spoke.
