"Big Brother Jiang's behavior is a bit strange. Why did he leave with Han Cong?"
Yan Qingcheng knitted her brows, feeling uneasy. What Yuan Chengjun said last night was still lingering in her ears. Although she didn't believe that Jiang Chen had anything to do with the Huang Family, she still felt uncomfortable. Jiang Chen had left the Prefecture with Han Cong early in the morning, which made Yan Qingcheng even more suspicious. If Jiang Chen was normal, why would he leave with Han Cong?
Yan Qingcheng chased after them at full speed. Whether Jiang Chen had anything to do with the Huang Family or why Jiang Chen left the Prefecture with Han Cong early in the morning, she had to find out the truth. Jiang Chen was the first man she had fallen in love with. She didn't want her judgment to be wrong. If Jiang Chen really did something wrong to the Prefecture, she absolutely wouldn't be polite to him.
Jiang Chen grabbed Han Cong's shoulder. Along the way, he was moving at an extremely fast speed, leaving behind countless afterimages. Being dragged by Jiang Chen, Han Cong could only feel the strong wind whistling in his ears, which made his face hurt. His body was in the air and he didn't need to exert any strength at all.
"How can Big Brother Jiang's speed be so fast? Even a late Earth Immortal expert can't be this fast. He's really abnormal."
Han Cong was shocked like a raging sea. He was born in the small Han Village and his knowledge was shallow. He had never seen such a miraculous person like Jiang Chen. From dealing with the Venomous Nether Toad to defeating an early Earth Immortal expert with a single strike, to his shocking alchemy skills, he had never seen anyone like Jiang Chen.
Yan Qingcheng had exerted all her strength, but she could only see Jiang Chen's afterimage from afar. She couldn't catch up to him at all. This situation shocked her so much that she had the urge to cough up blood. She was a late Earth Immortal expert with incredible speed. Plus, a genius like her was already strong enough to fight any ordinary half-step Heaven Immortal expert, but even so, she still couldn't catch up to Jiang Chen.
"How can he be so fast? Isn't Big Brother Jiang's movement technique a little too abnormal? Is he really only a late Human Immortal?"
Yan Qingcheng couldn't maintain her composure. This was a huge blow to her.
In this world, geniuses all had a common problem, and that was arrogance. Yan Qingcheng was no exception. But now, all her arrogance had been crushed into pieces in front of Jiang Chen. Yan Qingcheng couldn't help but recall the time when she was still in the late Human Immortal realm. Compared to Jiang Chen now, they weren't on the same level.
Yan Qingcheng was also a person who refused to admit defeat. She continued to raise her speed to the limit. She no longer wished to catch up to Jiang Chen. She only hoped that Jiang Chen wouldn't shake her off.
In the front, Jiang Chen revealed a trace of a smile. With his keen senses, how could he not sense that someone was following him? He could guess why Yan Qingcheng was following him. It must have something to do with Sixth Brother Huang. It wasn't hard to guess the reason. If there was a traitor in the Prefecture, he would definitely stir up trouble.
To Jiang Chen, his current speed was nothing. If he used the Flaming Wings, he could reach Han Village from Yan City in just a few minutes. However, he still needed to keep some trump cards in reserve. A powerful trump card could be used to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at the most crucial moment.
Two hours later, under the lead of Han Cong, Jiang Chen arrived at Han Village. This place was surrounded by mountains. It could be described as a remote and desolate place. Looking into the distance, there were four to five villages around this mountain range. This was the lowest existence in the Immortal World. The biggest dream of the villagers here was to live and work in peace and contentment. They never asked for too much.
To Han Village, provoking the Huang Family of Yan City was akin to the arrival of doomsday.
The Han Village was not big. There were only a few dozen families and about a hundred people, old and young.
Outside the Han Village, there was a spacious open space. At this moment, more than a hundred people of the Han Village were trapped in a pile. There were more than a dozen black-clothed experts standing guard around them. Standing at the front was the village chief, Han Changling, and the Han Village's higher-ups.
Those black-clothed guards were the people of the Huang Family. The weakest among them was an early Earth Immortal expert. Any one of them was much stronger than Han Changling who was a half-step Earth Immortal expert. Under the watchful eyes of so many experts, the people of Han Village didn't even dare to move.
Han Changling's face was full of sorrow. The Han Village had existed for a long time, but it had never encountered such a disaster.
There was a large rattan chair next to him, on which sat a man leisurely. He was Sixth Brother Huang who had met Jiang Chen last night. Beside him were two tall and strong experts who were both late Earth Immortal experts.
"Sixth Brother, we have never offended your Huang Family. Your Huang Family is a tyrant in Yan City. Why do you have to make things difficult for a small village like ours?"
Han Changling said.
"Don't worry, village chief. As long as Jiang Chen agrees to join our Huang Family, I can guarantee that your people will be safe and sound. Plus, you will be given great benefits."
Said Huang Xiong.
"I don't think Jiang Brother is a fickle person. I'm afraid that he will disappoint Sixth Brother."
Han Changling's tone was filled with anger. All the villagers of Han Village had been imprisoned for so long. It was impossible for him not to be angry. He had already figured out that Huang Xiong must have rejected Jiang Chen's invitation, so he was going to make his move on Han Village.
But this was destined to disappoint Huang Xiong. Although Han Changling hadn't known Jiang Chen for long, he knew very well what kind of person Jiang Chen was. Now that Jiang Chen had joined the Prefecture, he would no longer help the Huang Family.
"Humph! If that's the case, everyone in the Han Village will die with him! "
Huang Xiong harrumphed coldly. His attitude changed faster than flipping a page.
Jiang Chen and Han Cong, who had just arrived, saw everything clearly. Even Yan Qingcheng who was behind them could see everything clearly. Given Yan Qingcheng's intelligence, how could she not know what was going on?
"I see."
Yan Qingcheng finally felt relieved. It was like a huge stone had been lifted from her heart. It seemed like Jiang Chen had bumped into Huang Xiong last night. Huang Xiong's invitation to Jiang Chen was rejected, so he had resorted to despicable means to blackmail Jiang Chen with the people of Han Village.
What the Huang Family did was really despicable and shameless. However, Jiang Chen did not ask for her help after knowing about the situation. Instead, he came here alone, showing his manly nature. Yan Qingcheng admired him even more.
They are just three late Earth Immortals. They are no match for me, but I will not make a move now. I want to see how Big Brother Jiang will deal with this.
Yan Qingcheng felt much better now that she knew that Jiang Chen didn't betray the Prefecture and wasn't a member of the Huang Family. She also wanted to see how Jiang Chen would deal with this situation. She had witnessed Jiang Chen's alchemy skill and speed. Now, she wanted to see Jiang Chen's strength with her own eyes.
Therefore, Yan Qingcheng chose a good place to hide and wait and see. If Jiang Chen couldn't deal with it, she would definitely take action.
"Big Brother Jiang, what should we do now?"
Han Cong asked. He clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. Seeing his own villagers being imprisoned, he felt extremely uncomfortable and angry. However, Han Cong also knew his own strength. With his cultivation base, if he went up, he would be crushed by the other party's finger.
"Don't worry. I'm here."
Jiang Chen patted Han Cong's shoulder with a smile and strode forward.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Chen as soon as he appeared.
"Jiang Brother."
Han Changling and the others called out.
"Jiang Chen, I didn't expect you to have the guts to come here alone."
Huang Xiong crossed his legs and said leisurely.
"Let them go."
Jiang Chen said. He didn't want to waste any more time talking to Huang Xiong.
"Humph! A puny Human Immortal dares to be so arrogant. Let me teach him a lesson first. "
An Earth Immortal expert harrumphed coldly and was about to teach Jiang Chen a lesson.
"Stop. Don't be reckless in front of Grandmaster Jiang."
Huang Xiong stood up from the rattan chair and said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, I was forced to do what I did today. The patriarch had ordered me to recruit you. If I failed, I would kill you. You didn't give me any face last night, so I had no choice but to do this. It seems like you don't have a choice now. If you leave the Prefecture and help our Huang Family, we won't mistreat you, and these villagers will be safe and sound." Huang Xiong said with a smile, "Jiang Chen, I have no choice but to do this.
Huang Xiong said. He believed that as long as Jiang Chen wasn't a fool, he wouldn't refuse him again. The situation was obvious. The gap between them was too big. Even if Jiang Chen didn't want his life, he wouldn't ignore the hundreds of villagers in Han Village.
"Huang Xiong, you really shouldn't have provoked me."
Jiang Chen's tone instantly turned incomparably cold. His eyes shot out two substantial flames. He slowly drew out the Heavenly Saint Sword. The Heavenly Saint Sword, which had turned into a dragon, suddenly emitted a buzzing sound, as if it wanted to drink blood.
"Old friend, I'll let you have a good time today."
Jiang Chen smiled. Those who were familiar with him knew that when he smiled like this, someone would certainly be unlucky. He had been in the Immortal World for so long, but he had yet to kill anyone. After the Heavenly Saint Sword advanced to the Immortal Weapon realm, it had yet to taste the blood of an Immortal.
Not killing didn't mean that it wouldn't kill. Even Jiang Chen himself couldn't remember the number of people he had killed.
"Jiang Chen, I hope you know what you're doing. You're just a puny Human Immortal, how can you fight with us?"
Huang Xiong said fiercely.
Yan Qingcheng was also nervous. Jiang Chen's performance made her feel very comfortable and warm, but if Jiang Chen chose to fight with Huang Xiong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Who will come first? If someone from your Huang Family defeats me today, I'll go help them. Let me remind you, my sword can take your life."
