Chapter 3058 – We Must Avenge This
“A hundred years have flown by, and Jiang Chen is finally back. I wonder what surprises he’ll bring us after he enters the Inner Palace.”
“Haha, no one in the Outer Palace can match this guy’s strength anymore. Back when he was still a Divine King, he could already kill Hierarchs. Now that he’s broken through again to the Hierarch Realm, I really wonder who in the Inner Palace can still suppress him.”
More and more people were looking at Jiang Chen, the most terrifying genius monster the Profound Connection Divine Palace had seen in ten thousand years.
“Who is that person? His strength has reached the Late Hierarch Realm? He seems to be no less than Lord Lin, maybe even stronger.”
“Yeah, golden armor all over and a feather on his head. So domineering.”
“And that little girl, she actually has Hierarch strength too?”
The appearance of Jiang Chen and the others made everyone grow serious as they silently watched this scene.
“Jiang Chen, today this Palace Lord will make an example of you. You will be cut down!”
The Second Palace Lord shouted in a deep voice. It was like rolling thunder that shook the entire Profound Connection Divine Palace. His voice boomed like a great bell, echoing for a thousand miles without fading.
“This… how is this possible? The Second Palace Lord wants to kill Jiang Chen?”
Gu Maolu stared at Jiang Chen in shock. His strength had reached the Hierarch Realm, yet the Second Palace Lord regarded him as a thorn in his side. If the Second Palace Lord wanted to start a massacre, who could stop him?
“It really is him. Is he really going to go against the Profound Connection Divine Palace? Opposing the Second Palace Lord is nothing short of seeking death.”
Bai Ying frowned deeply. At this moment, they did not want to see this happen either. But the Second Palace Lord’s momentum was like rolling thunder, overwhelming the heavens, and his sword was pointed at Jiang Chen. This scene made everyone’s heart sink. How had this guy, hailed as the number one genius of the Outer Palace, offended the Second Palace Lord? The Second Palace Lord actually wanted to wipe out a student?
Bai Ying and Gu Maolu exchanged a look. Neither of them had ever expected things to come to this. Jiang Chen was almost certainly doomed. If the Second Palace Lord wanted to kill him, who could defy him? And where had Jiang Chen gone during the time he disappeared? That was the question they cared about most. After all, Jiang Chen was their good friend. If he were killed by the Second Palace Lord just like that, it would be a real shame.
“Brother Jiang wouldn’t have found out some secret of the Second Palace Lord, would he? Is that why the Second Palace Lord wants to silence him?”
Gu Maolu said with an ugly expression.
“Not necessarily. Back during the Outer Palace’s Qualifying Battle, Jiang Chen had already offended the Second Palace Lord somewhat. He killed Chen Long in front of everyone, which was like giving the Second Palace Lord a hard slap in the face. Now it seems the Second Palace Lord has been holding a grudge. The enmity between the two of them can’t be that simple. If the grudge weren’t so deep, why would the Second Palace Lord, in his position as a Palace Lord, make a move against a genius disciple of the Outer Palace?”
Bai Ying shook his head.
At this moment, the people in the Outer Palace of the Profound Connection Divine Palace who came from the same place as Jiang Chen were all silently watching, feeling sorrow and despair for him.
Donghuang Tai’a, Mo Kehan, Lu Dong and Zi Xi all felt it was a pity for Jiang Chen. They clenched their fists, feeling it was unfair to him, but they were powerless. Jiang Chen’s Early Hierarch strength was not even worth mentioning in the Second Palace Lord’s eyes. They were not even Hierarchs. They might not even count as cannon fodder.
“Little Chen!”
Yan Qingcheng silently watched this scene. Her heart was wrenched tight, and all she could do was pray silently. She saw Dragon Shisan, whose strength had now reached the Late Hierarch Realm. But in the end, compared with the Second Palace Lord’s lofty strength, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Yan Qingcheng had broken through to the Hierarch Realm by now as well. As soon as Jiang Chen made his move, she would charge forward without hesitation. Regardless of life or death, regardless of success or failure, she would be with him, and not even death would separate them.
“With your little bit of strength, you still want to oppose me? It’s laughable. The Profound Connection Divine Palace has stood for tens of millions of years. Do you really think a few petty thieves like you can fight it?”
The Second Palace Lord sneered dismissively.
Jiang Chen waved his hand, and Xue Liang, Qian Renji, Bing Yun and the eight Hierarch experts all appeared behind him.
“Master Ji? Are you betraying the Profound Connection Divine Palace too?”
The Second Palace Lord stared coldly at Qian Renji and said.
“All I know is that when I was at my most desperate and facing death, the Profound Connection Divine Palace didn’t care about me, and the Third Elder didn’t care about me. It was my student Jiang Chen who saved me.”
Qian Renji shook her head and sighed. That sigh chilled many hearts. Countless students of the Profound Connection Divine Palace were silently watching. Even Master Ji had switched sides? Was this Jiang Chen really going to oppose the Second Palace Lord and make an enemy of the Profound Connection Divine Palace?
“Fine, fine, fine. Today I’ll show you what happens to those who betray me. All of you must die!”
The Second Palace Lord said coldly.
“It’s still uncertain who’ll win. A blood debt must be paid in blood. Today I’ll make you understand that you’ll definitely regret offending me, Dragon Shisan.”
Dragon Shisan said through gritted teeth. The Unparalleled Divine Staff in his hand was itching for action.
Behind the Second Palace Lord, one figure after another appeared: the Third Palace Lord, Lin Youkang, and more than ten elders, all above the Mid Hierarch Realm. Among them, Lin Youkang, the Great Elder and the Second Elder were at the peak of the Late Hierarch Realm. Needless to say, the Third Palace Lord was also a Half-step Divine Emperor, not much weaker than the Second Palace Lord.
“Second Brother, this guy really dares to oppose our Profound Connection Divine Palace. It seems we really underestimated him.”
The Third Palace Lord said with a cold smile.
“Just a clown jumping around. No need to make a fuss. With a few small fry like these, he wants to fight me? Hehehe, an idiot’s dream.”
The Second Palace Lord shook his head.
“Second Brother, it seems we need to clean up our house properly. Traitors must naturally be killed without mercy. Otherwise, others will think our Profound Connection Divine Palace is in decline. All of these people must die.”
The Third Palace Lord said with an icy face.
“I could have just left. But you tortured my brother almost to death. I, Jiang Chen, can’t swallow this. Even if it costs me my life today, I’ll make you pay. No one touches my brother.”
Jiang Chen’s gaze was cold. He turned into a terrifying rain of swords and shot up into the Nine Heavens with peerless fighting spirit. Today’s battle was bound to be a fight to the death. Moreover, the people behind him were no pushovers either. This time he would deal a heavy blow to the Profound Connection Divine Palace!
“Not leaving was your biggest mistake. Otherwise you might still have had a chance to live. But now, not even a fly will get out of the heavens of my Profound Connection Divine Palace. Accept death. You have no choice!”
“Monkey, we must avenge this.”
A confident smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth. For his brother, everything was worth it. Knowing full well there were tigers on the mountain, he still headed for it. Fearless of death, strolling calmly in the face of powerful enemies, putting life and death aside, that was Jiang Chen!
