Yuan Chengjun's faint killing intent couldn't escape Jiang Chen's perception. Looking at Yuan Chengjun's disappearing back, Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown.
"I hope you won't provoke me."
Jiang Chen said faintly. He didn't want to make trouble with the people of the City Lord Mansion, but if this Yuan Chengjun really didn't have the foresight to provoke him, then he wouldn't be polite. All along, those who provoked Jiang Chen would never have a good ending.
A breeze blew out from Jiang Chen's body, and the door closed automatically. Jiang Chen continued his seclusion, working hard to refine the imprint in his body. This process lasted until night. The moonlight shone through the window into the room and sprinkled on Jiang Chen's face.
Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a little restless. He didn't know if it was because of the influence of Yuan Chengjun during the day, but his heart couldn't completely calm down for a while. This kind of situation was extremely rare in the history of Jiang Chen's cultivation.
Since he couldn't calm down, there was no need to continue his seclusion. Jiang Chen stretched his body and stood up from the praying mat. He gently pushed the door open, and a cool breeze blew past, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Jiang Chen looked at the sky. The night tonight was not bad, with a full moon and bright stars, but he had a feeling of loneliness.
It was the loneliness that came from the heart. In his previous life, he was obsessed with cultivation all his life. Although he was lonely, he never knew what loneliness was. When he advanced, he had relatives, lovers, brothers, and friends. Now, these people were not around, and he was all alone, so the feeling of loneliness arose spontaneously.
"I don't know where Da Huang has gone, and whether he's in this One-Line-Sky Region."
Jiang Chen shook his head. With Da Huang Dog around, he would never be lonely. Unfortunately, he was separated from Da Huang Dog at the last moment of his ascension to the Immortal World. Now, there was no news of Da Huang Dog. In this vast Immortal World, it was really uncertain when they would meet again.
Moreover, his cultivation base was too weak. With his late Human Immortal cultivation base, even if he had wings, it was impossible for him to fly freely in the Immortal World. Without the ability to control spatial energy, it would be difficult for him to even get out of One-Line-Sky, let alone travel around the Immortal World.
Taking advantage of the silence of the night, Jiang Chen walked out of the City Lord Mansion without disturbing anyone. He had been in Yan City for a few days, but he hadn't had the chance to go out and see the scenery of the Immortal World. Since he was bored to death, he might be able to gain some insights.
Outside the City Lord Mansion, there was an alley. Because the alley was relatively narrow, it still looked a little dark even under the bright moonlight. At this time, a black shadow flashed and entered the alley.
As a late Human Immortal expert, Jiang Chen's eyesight was naturally extraordinary. He looked over and saw a figure in black standing at the side of the alley. His shoulder was leaning against the wall. It wasn't hard to tell from the figure's build that it was a middle-aged man.
Although Jiang Chen couldn't see the man's eyes clearly, he was sure that the man was staring at him without blinking.
"Grandmaster Jiang, can I see you?"
The voice came from the alley. It was the voice of the black-clothed man.
Jiang Chen was stunned. It seemed like this man had been planning this for a long time to hide outside the Mansion. Now, it seemed like this man had a target. What was certain was that Jiang Chen didn't know this man. The Qi of this man was very unfamiliar to him. He had never seen this man before.
However, this man was merely a late Earth Immortal expert. Naturally, Jiang Chen wasn't afraid of him. Even if he was a half-step Heaven Immortal, as long as he wasn't a true Heaven Immortal, Jiang Chen wouldn't be afraid of him. Given his current strength, he naturally wasn't a match for a half-step Heaven Immortal, but a half-step Heaven Immortal couldn't fly. So, it was very easy for him to escape. With the speed of the Flaming Wings, not even an ordinary Heaven Immortal could catch up with him.
Without the slightest fear, Jiang Chen strode into the alley and came to the black-clothed man in no time. With the help of the moonlight, Jiang Chen could see the man's face clearly. The man wasn't muscular, but he wasn't thin either. His face was full of sideburns and he looked like he was in his forties. As a matter of fact, his cultivation base had already reached the peak of Earth Immortal realm, only a step away from the half-step Heaven Immortal realm.
"Who are you? I don't know you. "
Jiang Chen said.
"I'm Huang Xiong, a member of the Huang Family in Yan City. They call me Sixth Master."
Huang Xiong stated his name. Among the six brothers of the Huang Family, Huang Xiong had the lowest cultivation base. Although he was only a late Earth Immortal expert, his status in the Huang Family wasn't comparable to ordinary people. Huang Xiong had kept his name. He believed that no one in the entire Yan City didn't know his name, Sixth Master.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chen was the only one who didn't know his name.
"A member of the Huang Family? Why are you looking for me? "
Asked Jiang Chen. He had chatted with Yan Qingcheng before. There were three major powers in Yan City, and this Huang Family was the one that was hostile to the Prefecture.
"I heard that a young Alchemy Grandmaster came to the City Lord's Mansion. I didn't expect him to be so young. I, Huang Xiong, don't like to beat around the bush. Let's get straight to the point. I came to find Grandmaster Jiang today, hoping that Grandmaster Jiang can leave the City Lord's Mansion and join our Huang Family.
Huang Xiong said straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's facial expression didn't change, as if Huang Xiong's words were within his expectations. Unfortunately, the Huang Family had miscalculated and was destined to be disappointed. He, Jiang Chen, wasn't a two-faced fence-sitter.
More importantly, the strength of a small city like Yan City wasn't worthy for him to join.
"I'm not interested in the Huang Family."
Jiang Chen said straightforwardly, not leaving any face for Huang Xiong.
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiong was obviously stunned. He never thought that Jiang Chen would reject him so straightforwardly. One should know that the Huang Family had a high status in Yan City. No one had ever dared to reject him when he, the Sixth Master, personally invited them.
Even if Jiang Chen wanted to reject him, he shouldn't have done it so straightforwardly. This wasn't just disrespecting him, but the entire Huang Family.
"Master Jiang, our Huang Family is very sincere in inviting you. I hope that Master Jiang will consider it. I think you should know that in Yan City, our Huang Family is not weaker than the Prefecture. Master Jiang, feel free to state your conditions. We will try our best to fulfill them."
Huang Xiong didn't give up.
"Alright, if that's why you came to me, then don't say anymore. I've said it before, I'm not interested in your Huang Family."
Jiang Chen waved his hand impatiently.
"Hmph! Jiang Chen, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. "
Huang Xiong's expression changed. Obviously, he was angry.
"What? Do you want to kill me? "
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Even the darkness couldn't block the light from his eyes.
"Jiang Chen, you should know that our Huang Family and the Prefecture are irreconcilable enemies. Sooner or later, there will be a showdown between us. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot live on the same mountain. Since you've helped the Prefecture, you've become our enemy. A high grade alchemist is enough to affect the overall situation. If you pledge allegiance to our Huang Family, the only thing I can do is to kill you. If you can't be used by me, then I'll eliminate you completely. I think you know this very well."
Huang Xiong's killing intent was revealed. He had thought it through before coming here. If he couldn't rope in Jiang Chen, he would kill him to get rid of future troubles for his Huang Family.
"I know, but I also know that you can't kill me."
Jiang Chen finished his words and turned to leave.
"Courting death."
Huang Xiong was completely enraged. This was the first time that a late Human Immortal brat didn't give him any face. He had to admit that Jiang Chen was very bold. Since they couldn't come to an agreement, there was nothing else to say. The only thing he could do was to kill Jiang Chen. He couldn't let such a genius alchemist work for the Prefecture.
* Hu … … *
A gust of cold wind came from his back. Jiang Chen didn't need to turn his head to know that Huang Xiong had made a move. The Qi of a late Earth Immortal expert was indeed terrifying.
But, Jiang Chen was already prepared for this. Just as Huang Xiong moved, Jiang Chen moved as well. With the help of the Space Shift skill and the Nine Phantom Wolves, a series of afterimages appeared in the alley.
* Pu Pu! *
Huang Xiong shattered the two phantoms of Jiang Chen. When he looked again, Jiang Chen had already disappeared. He could only see a silhouette entering the Prefecture.
"Such speed. Impossible. How could a late Human Immortal have such terrifying speed? Although I was careless, a late Human Immortal brat definitely couldn't escape from my palm."
Huang Xiong's face turned pale with fright. Jiang Chen's speed was something he had never seen before. One should know that he was a mighty late Earth Immortal expert, but Jiang Chen was able to dodge his attack so easily despite the huge gap between them. If he didn't experience it himself, he wouldn't believe it even if someone killed him.
"This man is definitely a huge threat. I have no idea where this peerless genius came from. Not only is his alchemy skill superb, it seems like his cultivation talent is also very high. In the entire Yan City, he is the first one who could escape from my hands. It seems like I have to find a way to get rid of him. Otherwise, with his help, the overall strength of the Prefecture will rise very quickly. At that time, it will be the doomsday of our Huang Family."
Huang Xiong's facial expression was incomparably solemn. Before he met Jiang Chen, he didn't put Jiang Chen in his eyes at all. Now that he had seen Jiang Chen, he felt a great threat. It was a threat to the entire Huang Family. Since the patriarch had assigned this task to him, he had to eliminate this man for the sake of the Huang Family.
Because of Huang Xiong, Jiang Chen no longer had the mood to stroll around. He returned to his courtyard.
"It seems like there's a spy in the Prefecture. Otherwise, Huang Xiong wouldn't have come so quickly."
