The Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ members flew into a rage, and the almighty existences and experts present almost couldnât bear not making an attack. Jiang Chen had started a massacre, and three dazzling geniuses were killed. Many people found this matter a pity.
However, this matter had been observed by more than 10,000 pairs of eyes, and they all knew that they couldnât blame Jiang Chen for it. It just happened because Huo Zhengyu and his two companions were too confident in themselves. They had at first assumed that they could defeat Jiang Chen alone, then they assumed that they could surely kill him if they ganged up on him. In the end, they got the outcome that they deserved, and it could be said that they just reaped what they had sown.
The fight over the Future Sword Venerableâs title still hadnât come to an end and the contestants werenât limited to just the three dead people and Jiang Chen. There were still three masked men among the contestants, and they were probably Spirit Clanâs spiritual sons. Among them was the swordsman who had fought over the Future Spirit Emperorâs title, and he could probably still put up a fight with his power.However, what no one had expected was that such a spectacular fight would come to an end before it started.
âMy sword techniques arenât on a par with yours, and I would be ashamed to take this title.â It was unknown whether it was really true what he had stated or whether he was simply not confident in his power. In any case, that swordsman left the stage after he spoke. He didnât admit defeat. He just stated that such a title didnât suit him. His unspoken implication was that he could defeat Jiang Chen if he used power unrelated to the sword. But, even if he got the title through such means, no one would approve of it.
The other two masked men just stood at their places quietly and didnât make any movements. They were probably still hesitating.
Jiang Chen, who had just finished killing people, started walking toward them quietly. He brought with him a great wave of pressure, and no one in the battlefield dared to make a move rashly. They were all swordsmen, and they knew that they couldnât use a sword strike at the same level as Jiang Chen, and as long as Jiang Chen attacked, they would suffer the same fate as the previous three people.
âYour sword techniques are too amazing.â After a while had passed, the two masked men gave up for the same reason as the masked swordsman.
If they had started fighting seriously, it wouldnât have been just a simple confrontation with sword techniques, and getting the Future Sword Venerableâs title in such a way was meaningless.
After the experts left the stage, the other people had also taken the same decision and left one after the other. Jiang Chen just stood there calmly until he was the sole person left on the stage. He had already gotten the Title Palaceâs recognition, and the peerless sword light emanating from his body started gradually disappearing, while he sheathed both his swords.
âDie!â
What no one had expected was that the Wind and Fire Spirit Clansâ almighty existences would make a move at such a moment. The outcome of the battle was already decided, and the Title Palace had lifted temporarily the restrictions on the battlefield, and no one could obstruct them.
They were infuriated, and they had forgotten for a moment that Jiang Chen was a Martial Sovereignâs follower, and he could kill them all. The attackers had a powerful line-up, and they had at least four or five apex Great Venerables, and there were still more experts who flew over from all directions. They all used flames and wind. The spirit skills used by them were vastly more powerful than Huo Zhengyu and Wu Zimingâs skills, and the might of their divine wind and sacred flames was boundless.
When Jiang Chen was just about to activate the Fire God Descent Technique, a chilly wind rose in the sky, engulfed Jiang Chen, and prevented all attacks from reaching him.
âSomeone from the Ice Spirit Clan has made a move.â
The chilly wind formed an ice pillar, which protected Jiang Chen who was inside of it, and the Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ members could only watch helplessly.
âElder Bing Shan, What do you mean by this? Why are you helping him?â
âWe are from the Spirit Clan and heâs from the Human Clan. Is your Ice Spirit Clan standing in the humansâ camp?â
The Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ members were displeased, and they all berated him angrily one after the other. The crowd was also amazed, and it was also the case for Jiang Chen. They all wondered why the Ice Spirit Clan had intervened. If it was just because they couldnât put up with such bullying, then they were really too naive.
âStop trying to frame me, the issue isnât why did I make a move, but why did you attack him.â
An aged voice echoed from the Ice Spirit Clanâs camp, and the crowd witnessed one of the Spirit Clanâs legendary characters walking from there. That person was called Elder Bing Shan and was 70 or 80 years old. However, Spirits possessed a vigorous life force, and it was especially the case for Ice Spirits. Their bodies aged more slowly than other Spirits.
Even though this old man had white hair, it was still soft and shiny and wasnât dry because of losing his life force. As for his face, it seemed like the face of a middle-aged man in his 30s, and he was quite handsome. He had sharp facial features, which made it seem like a sculpture made out of ice.
Even though he was by himself, he looked fearlessly at the Fire and Wind Spirit Clans, and he still wore a prideful look. The Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ members didnât respect the rules and had attacked someone in the Title Palace, and it was a youngster. It wasnât like this had never happened in the past, but all such people were spurned by all Three Middle Realmsâ people.
âWhat is this guyâs relationship with the Ice Spirit Clan?â Someone from the Fire Spirit Clan asked.
âHe doesnât have any relationship with us for now,â Elder Bing Shan gave a thought-provoking answer.
Venerable Fengyu and the Fire Venerable in the Cliff Mountainâs camp started discussing this matter.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt seems like the Ice Spirit Clan has taken a liking to Jiang Chen.â
âThey have taken a liking to the inheritance guidance of the Future Sword Venerableâs title or the more outstanding titles, which may appear later,â the Fire Venerable spoke in displeasure.
Factions would train disciples and send them to participate in the Title Palaceâs battles, and the inheritance guidance gotten by them wouldnât be enjoyed by them alone. They wouldnât steal it from the disciples, like how adults manage childrenâs money. Some cultivation techniques or ancient scriptures could be cultivated by many people, which was why all people able to get three golden words titles were popular.
Jiang Chen was a Heaven Alchemist of the Elixir Association, but such a faction didnât have any relationship with the Title Palace because of its special nature.
As for the Cliff Mountain, Jiang Chen was a disciple of the Cliff Mountain, but this faction was also quite special and wasnât like sects and familial factions, it wouldnât force its members to do anything.
âItâs up to Jiang Chen whether heâs willing to do it,â Venerable Fengyu said. He didnât plan to force Jiang Chen.
After all, when he was facing the attack of the Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ members, the Cliff Mountain reacted more slowly because their power wasnât on a par with those people.
âWhy donât you quickly get back, you are really a disgrace!â The Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ leaders shouted. The Fire and Wind Spirit Clansâ members were forced to give up on the attack, and the people who had attacked went back to their former places.
The ice pillar protecting Jiang Chen disappeared after this, and he looked at Elder Bing Shan and thanked him sincerely.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was quite excited because it seemed like the Ice Spirit Clan would consider his affair with his senior sister.
âYou should continue working hard.â Elder Bing Shan nodded and said, âDonât care about everything else as the Ice Spirit Clan will be your backer today.â
The crowd went into an uproar, and it was only when Jiang Chen stood before the stone tablet and took the title that they realized what was happening.
The Junior Sword Venerable, Wang Teng, got a Martial Emperorâs favor. As for the Future Sword Venerable, Jiang Chen, his future prospects should be boundless.
The Ice Spirit Clan was just making an investment in advance.
Elder Bing Shan didnât go back to his former place, and he went toward the Mysterious Thunder Schoolâs Yao Tianshi.
Yao Tianshi strode forward and greeted him calmly.
âHa,ha, your power is greater than mine. So, you donât need to be this polite.â Elder Bing Shan didnât put any airs, and he just exchanged pleasantries with him amiably, before he stated his aims. âWas that piece of art really made by Jiang Chen?â
Upon hearing such a question, Yao Tianshi realized that Jiang Chen would make a meteoric rise and get close to the Ice Spirit Clan. Yao Tianshi didnât hide anything from him and informed him of the truth.
Upon hearing the answer, Elder Bing Shanâs eyes flickered, and he revealed a smile.
