"But, that Jiang Chen has been staying in the Martial Palace all this time, and the Ninth Emperor is the Palace Chief. Even if we want to create a feud with him, I'm afraid it'll be extremely difficult."
Shangguan Sheng furrowed his brows. He wished he could kill Jiang Chen right now, but right now, Jiang Chen was safe in the Martial Palace, and the Ninth Emperor wouldn't give them any chance to get close to him.
"We can't, but someone else can, and he's the most suitable candidate."
Wu Cong slowly stood up from his seat with a sneer on his face.
"Oh? May I know who you're referring to? "
Tiangang Yi asked curiously.
"The Crown Prince."
Wu Cong squinted his eyes. He was talking about a man who was considered a heavyweight in the Martial Saint Dynasty.
"The Crown Prince? The Crown Prince has a noble status, and he's the next Emperor. He's a Late Combat Soul warrior, and even we are no match for him. Furthermore, the Crown Prince is now the Commander of the Golden Guards, and he's second only to the Emperor. I don't think he'll help us for a mere Jiang Chen, and he has no reason to do so. "
Shangguan Sheng shook his head. It was impossible to get the Crown Prince's help, and it was simply unrealistic. The Crown Prince had a noble status, and he had to deal with a myriad of affairs every day. How could he have the time to play with them?
"We don't need to ask the Crown Prince for help, he'll help us himself. I'm very close to him, and he's a man with incredible talent and a formidable cultivation base. He's a man who's high up in the world, and no one is perfect. I'm sure you all know about his weaknesses as well."
Wu Cong said with a smile on his face.
"Women."
All of them said at the same time.
"That's right, the Crown Prince is perfect in all aspects, but he loves beautiful women. He has married 18 wives, and all of them are beauties who can stand out from the rest of the world. I've secretly found out that Jiang Chen has a beautiful woman following him, and she is treated as a precious treasure by him. Her name is Yan Chen Yu, and she looks like a fairy, pure and refined. She is not someone the Crown Prince's women can compare with. If the Crown Prince meets Yan Chen Yu, with his character, he will definitely have some ulterior motives, and at that point of time, a conflict will naturally arise. Jiang Chen has left a bad impression on the Emperor, and if he offends the Crown Prince as well, in this Eastern Continent, even if he had ten lives, he would still die."
Wu Cong said sinisterly.
"The Crown Prince really has a good plan. That kid Jiang Chen has the Ninth Emperor's protection, so we can't do anything to him. But if the Crown Prince and the Emperor are involved, then things will be different."
Shangguan Sheng's eyes lit up, and he gave Wu Cong a thumbs-up.
"Haha, leave this matter to me. The Crown Prince is in seclusion these few days and will come out in half a month at most. At that time, we will give him a surprise."
Wu Cong laughed heartily. He felt as if his scheme had succeeded.
The few of them had their eyes on Yan Chen Yu, but little did they know that the current Yan Chen Yu was no longer the same as before. With her Nine Yin Meridians completely activated, even Wu Cong would not be able to pose a threat to her. Furthermore, with the mysterious Black Ice Talisman and the Ice Demon's protection, anyone who wanted to harm her would not be able to do so easily.
…
Martial House!
Within an independent courtyard, Jiang Chen was pacing back and forth while staring at the full moon in the sky, which was half covered by dark clouds. He felt as if his mood was shrouded by a layer of haze. Originally, he was in seclusion, but for some unknown reason, he felt agitated and restless.
As the once greatest Saint in the world, Jiang Chen rarely felt agitated like this. He always felt that some things were bound to happen sooner or later. Although he had arrived at the Martial House, the storm wasn't as calm as it seemed on the surface. He could feel that something was brewing in the dark.
For the first time in his life, Jiang Chen felt that some situations and situations were out of his control. It was a very bad feeling, because he was no longer the lonely man from his previous life. He had people in his heart, and he had the seven emotions and six desires that a normal person should have. He was no longer a martial arts maniac who only knew how to fight and kill.
The enemy was very powerful. If Jiang Chen was alone, he could just run away, and no one would be able to threaten him. But now, he couldn't. Even if he ran away, the people around him wouldn't be able to. Therefore, there were some grudges that needed to be resolved sooner or later.
"Strength, it's still strength! Looks like I need to go out and walk around."
Jiang Chen said with mixed emotions. He was getting closer and closer to the Combat Soul realm, but it was still not an easy task to break through.
Jiang Chen decided to go out and train himself as soon as possible. The sooner he broke through to the Combat Soul realm, the sooner he would have a stronger foundation and resources.
Creak!
Right at this moment, the courtyard's door was pushed open, and a majestic man walked in. He was none other than Nangong Wentian.
After entering the courtyard, Nangong Wentian turned around and closed the door behind him. With an ugly expression and a heavy heart, he walked up to Jiang Chen.
"Brother Nan, what's wrong?"
Jiang Chen asked. He and Nangong Wentian hadn't known each other for a long time, but they were like brothers, and they knew each other very well. Nangong Wentian had always been a cheerful man, and he had never looked so worried even when facing a dangerous situation. Something like this was definitely going to happen.
"Little Chenzi, I'm here to bid you farewell."
Nangong Wentian said with a bitter smile on his face.
"Oh? You're going back to the Southern Continent? "
Jiang Chen asked with a puzzled expression.
"That's right, I'm going back. I hope I can make it in time."
Nangong Wentian said.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Chen asked with a frown on his face.
Nangong Wentian sighed, but didn't say anything. He knew Jiang Chen was very busy, and he didn't want Jiang Chen to worry about him any longer.
"Brother Nan, you're my brother."
Jiang Chen patted Nangong Wentian's shoulder. The word 'brother' immediately warmed Nangong Wentian's heart.
"Our Nangong family is one of the top superpowers in the Southern Continent, and we're strong enough to compete with the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect. However, in recent years, our family has been in chaos. Before I left the Southern Continent, my father gave me a personal communication talisman. It's a special talisman for our Nangong family. Even though I'm in the Eastern Continent right now, I'll still be able to receive a message immediately. Furthermore, this talisman can only be used once. If it's not something extremely important, my father won't use it. Half an hour ago, I received a summon from my father. He told me that our family is in danger, and he asked me to come back as soon as possible."
Nangong Wentian said with a frown on his face. He didn't tell Nangong Wentian that the talisman exploded right after receiving the message. This meant that the family was in a very serious situation.
"I'll go back with you."
Jiang Chen said.
"What?!"
Hearing this, Nangong Wentian's eyes lit up. However, a bitter expression immediately emerged on his face, "Little Chenzi, I appreciate your kindness as a brother. However, you're already busy enough here, I don't want to trouble you with my Nangong family's matters."
In fact, Nangong Wentian really wanted Jiang Chen's help. He had no idea what had happened to the Nangong family, and he had no idea what was going on. Even if he returned to the Southern Continent, with his current cultivation and strength, he wouldn't be able to provide much help. However, in his mind, Jiang Chen was an omnipotent figure, someone who could create miracles at any time. If Jiang Chen was willing to go back with him, he would feel much more at ease.
But at the same time, Jiang Chen was already busy enough in the Eastern Continent, and the Southern Continent was a long distance away. Also, he had no idea what had happened to the Nangong family, so he didn't want to be a burden to Jiang Chen.
"Brother Nan, I, Jiang Chen, will definitely help my brother. Furthermore, I've been planning to leave the Southern Continent to train myself, and I want to find an opportunity to break through to the Combat Soul realm. I'll go with you to the Southern Continent, I might be able to find something there."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face. He had decided to leave the Southern Continent to train himself, but he didn't have a specific destination. Now that the Nangong family was in trouble, he might be able to find a way to break through.
More importantly, Nangong Wentian was his brother who had gone through thick and thin with him, and when he was in a difficult situation, Jiang Chen couldn't just stay out of it.
"Little Chenzi, thank you."
Nangong Wentian didn't say anything else, he just thanked Jiang Chen.
"Alright, we're brothers, aren't you treating me like an outsider?"
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
"Let's not waste any more time, let's move out now. It's a huge distance from the Eastern Continent to the Southern Continent, and with our current speed, it'll take us a long time to reach our destination. At that time, I'm afraid …"
Nangong Wentian's expression darkened. The distance was just too far, and without the Teleportation Formation, with their current speed, it would take them a long time to reach the Southern Continent. By the time they arrived, it might already be too late.
"Before we leave, I have something I need to tell everyone."
After saying that, Jiang Chen released his Divine Sense from his Divine Sense. A few minutes later, many figures descended from the sky and arrived at the courtyard. Han Yan, Yan Chenyu, Da Huang, Wu Jiu, all of them had arrived.
"Little Chenzi, I thought you were in secluded cultivation? Why did you send us a message in such a hurry? "
Han Yan asked.
"The Nangong family is facing some unforeseen circumstances, so I need to go to the Southern Continent with Brother Nan. Before we leave, I have something I need to tell everyone."
Jiang Chen flew straight toward the Southern Continent.
"What? To the Southern Continent? "
The few of them cried out simultaneously, especially Wu Jiu, whose face was filled with shock. With his cultivation base, he had never been to the Southern Continent before.
"I'll go with you."
Han Yan, Da Huang Dog, and Yan Chenyu said at the same time. They didn't care how far away the Southern Continent was, as long as they could stay by Jiang Chen's side. Furthermore, since Nangong Wentian was in trouble, they wanted to help as well.
"No, this trip to the Southern Continent is filled with unknown dangers. I'll only go with Brother Nan. You guys stay in the Martial Palace for now, that's the safest place. If we leave together, we'll become a huge target. Once I'm done with the Nangong family, I'll come back immediately."
Jiang Chen said with an unquestionable tone.
Han Yan and Yan Chenyu nodded their heads helplessly. Da Huang Dog kept mumbling to himself, showing his dissatisfaction. However, they knew very well that Jiang Chen had already made his decision, so it was useless for them to insist.
"Before we leave, I have a few things I need to tell you."
Jiang Chen's expression was extremely solemn.
