"We're finally out."
Jiang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Even he thought that he was dead for sure. However, he did not expect that Cinnamomum Cassia would play such a crucial role at the most crucial moment. Cinnamomum Cassia was the treasure of the Great Emperor. One could only imagine how terrifying it was. Jiang Chen was able to obtain Cinnamomum Cassia through sheer luck.
Looking at the exhausted faces of the Green Awn Tribe members, Jiang Chen sighed silently. However, he could only rejoice that they were still alive.
No one knew that after experiencing despair time and time again, the Azure Monkeys were already prepared to welcome death. In the end, they were almost trapped to death. Now that they had escaped from death, they finally made it out despite the many bumps in the road.
To them, the Solitary Nine Bends Bridge was a nightmare. Compared to dying on the battlefield, it was more suffocating. Time and time again, they were trapped within. That was an unimaginable torment.
"Ancestor Jiang Chen, you are truly a god."
"Yeah, we thought that we would never be able to make it out again. Phew... "
Someone heaved a sigh of relief and kowtowed to Ancestor Jiang Chen.
"Without Ancestor Jiang Chen, we would have really died here. Ancestor Jiang Chen, please accept our kowtow!"
"With Ancestor Jiang Chen around, we have nothing to fear. As long as you are here, we will definitely be able to make it out alive and break the curse of the Green Awn Tribe!"
Towards Jiang Chen, they had unconditional trust. Moreover, they were clear that as long as Jiang Chen was here, they would definitely not be in danger.
Chen Lu was also full of admiration for Jiang Chen. Now that they were reunited, the love she felt for him was even deeper.
"I'll make a move first. Since I'm already here, I can only continue on. Life and death are decreed by fate. Wealth and honor are determined by the heavens. I will never abandon everyone."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Chen Lu, you take good care of them. Patriarch Ye, and you, now that everyone is seriously injured, it's better for you to be careful. If you continue to follow me, you will gain very little, so you stay for the time being and rest in place. I'll walk the rest of the way by myself."
Jiang Chen said solemnly.
Ye Rodi pondered for a moment. He wanted to refuse, but he was very clear that if he followed Jiang Chen's ancestor, then they would definitely become a burden. Even he could not help Jiang Chen. It would only make his hands and feet tied, and it was likely that there would be large-scale casualties.
Logically or emotionally, it was impossible for Ye Rodi to continue following Ancestor Jiang Chen. If that was the case, then he would be too insensible. Sometimes, one had to choose to retreat from the situation.
If they could help Ancestor Jiang Chen, perhaps they would rather die than retreat. But now, they had no other choice.
"Ancestor Jiang Chen, we will wait here for your triumphant return."
"That's right. Ancestor Jiang Chen, if you don't return, we won't leave."
"Yes! We swear to protect Ancestor Jiang Chen with our lives! "
The people of the Green Awn Clan were full of passion, advancing and retreating together with Jiang Chen. At this time, even someone with a heart of stone could not help but feel moved. Although the Green Awn Clan was previously dissatisfied with him, that was all because of that bastard Qin Chi's provocation. The people of the Green Awn Clan were rather simple. They had only been sowed discord, and so many of their brothers had died. They knew better than anyone who was truly looking out for them, and who was truly worthy of their trust.
"Thank you, everyone. I will definitely return and lift the curse for you all. "
Jiang Chen smiled, full of confidence.
"Ancestor Jiang Chen, we await your triumphant return!"
Ye Rodi nodded firmly, unwavering.
Chen Lu was also unruffled. Although she was worried about Jiang Chen's safety, even the people of the Green Awn Clan had chosen to retreat for the sake of Jiang Chen's safety. How could she still be a burden to Jiang Chen?
Therefore, the more she thought about it, the greater the gap between her and Jiang Chen. After leaving Kui Wood Star, she had to hurry to the Chen Clan's ancestral land and increase her strength as quickly as possible. She did not want to be a burden to Big Brother Jiang Chen at a critical moment. She wanted to fight alongside Big Brother Jiang Chen.
However, at this moment, the worry in Chen Lu's heart was overflowing.
"You must take care!"
Chen Lu clutched Jiang Chen's hand tightly, lowered her head, and bit her lip.
"Don't worry, I will. I will accompany you to the Chen Clan's ancestral land."
Jiang Chen's eyes were soft and filled with relief. He knew that this was what Chen Lu was worried about.
"Thank you, Big Brother Jiang Chen. I will always be by your side."
Chen Lu turned her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She hated herself for being so weak that she could not help Big Brother Jiang Chen. If she could become Big Brother Jiang Chen's right-hand man, she would not have to stay here and wait silently. That kind of anxiety made each day feel like a year.
But as long as Big Brother Jiang Chen did not return, she would not leave this place even half a step.
Jiang Chen gazed at Chen Lu and shook his head. This trip was a matter of life and death. He did not know how strong Xue Ganglie was. Moreover, he was in a very passive position. Xue Ganglie and Qin Chi had teamed up and knew this place like the back of their hands. He could only feel the stones to cross the river. It was too difficult.
Jiang Chen turned around and left the Solitary Yin Bridge without hesitation. After passing through a misty area, Jiang Chen saw a precipitous cliff. On the cliff, there were chains of chains. Below the chains was a magma purgatory.
At this moment, Jiang Chen saw countless shadows and corpses in the magma. They seemed to be struggling. Ear-piercing roars and cries of despair seemed to resound from the depths of the purgatory, reverberating in his heart.
"This place is very strange. One careless step on this iron chain bridge and you will fall into the purgatory. Seems like it's not going to be easy to cross."
Jiang Chen murmured. Although there were iron chains in this place, this Inferno Hell was much more difficult than the Nine Bends Solitary Yin Bridge. The Nine Bends Solitary Yin Bridge was a spatial zone of its own, but this place was a real Inferno Hell. The waves of magma felt like it was roasting one's soul. This made Jiang Chen hesitate. This should be the Inferno Hell controlled by the Revolving Wheel King.
"Come over if you have the ability. Hahaha."
On the other side of the purgatory, Xue Ganglie laughed coldly. His eyes were filled with disdain. They quickly turned and disappeared from Jiang Chen's sight.
"There is no river that I, Jiang Chen, cannot cross. If you want to stop me, this purgatory is not enough. Wait for me, you won't be disappointed."
