Chapter 3444 – Don’t Chase a Cornered Foe
Yan Qingcheng’s strength had now even crushed Wu Ningzhu’s. At Jiang Chen’s side, her spirits were soaring. Her charges and suppression against Dongfang Lianshuo left Dongfang Lianshuo complaining bitterly. He could only avoid her edge and retreat.
“This isn’t over! We’ll see about this! Jiang Chen, you just wait! Even if I have to search the heavens above and the Yellow Springs below, I’ll make sure all of you die without a burial place and avenge my little brother!”
Dongfang Lianshuo roared, but he could only leave with regret, a look of helplessness and indignation at the corners of his mouth. On his own, he could not accomplish the feat of killing Jiang Chen completely. In this battle, he had felt the lack in his own strength even more deeply. Those two women beside Jiang Chen were no pushovers either.
Although Dongfang Lianshuo was no match for Jiang Chen and the others, if he wanted to leave, there was no problem at all. Besides, Jiang Chen and the others had no wish to pursue, so Dongfang Lianshuo turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Chen frowned deeply. In a one-on-one fight, this Dongfang Lianshuo was already no match for him. Even if they met again, Jiang Chen was confident he could kill him. But Jiang Chen’s heart grew more and more flustered, because he was worried something had happened to Helian Yue Er, so now he could not wait to go to the Helian Family and see for himself.
“Don’t chase a cornered foe. Let’s go to the Helian Family first.”
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, his face dark, and gave Wang Fengqi two healing pills.
“Come with us, Fengqi. By the way, where’s your Sister Feng? Why isn’t she with you?”
Jiang Chen’s heart stirred, and he looked at Wang Fengqi. His face, however, was filled with a look of great difficulty.
“She’s gone. She was ravaged to death at the Fossil Sect by that pack of damned beasts. I fought my way out at the risk of my life just to look for Master. I want to stay by Master’s side and learn properly, so that one day I can go back to the Fossil Sect and grind every one of them to dust, and make the Fossil Sect vanish from this world forever.”
Every word Wang Fengqi spoke was weighty as he gnashed his teeth. Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng both changed expression and exchanged a look. As women, no one understood better than them what kind of feeling that would be. Their eyes too were filled with anger.
“This Fossil Sect truly deserves to be struck down by heaven.”
Yan Qingcheng hated evil like an enemy. Frost covered her pretty face, her jade fingers clenched tightly, and her aura suddenly turned dark.
“Sigh, poor child. Don’t worry, we will definitely help you get revenge. Little Chen, let’s all go together.”
Wu Ningzhu also glanced at Jiang Chen, unable to bear it in her heart. Both Wang Fengqi and the Sister Feng he spoke of were ill-fated people, enough to make anyone feel pity for them.
“The Fossil Sect. It seems this sect really has no need to exist.”
Jiang Chen’s eyes were ice-cold, a cold light gleaming fiercely in them. Wang Fengqi could be counted as his first true disciple in every sense. His wife had been ravaged to death by the people of the Fossil Sect. For Jiang Chen, this was also a great humiliation.
“When I finish all this, one day I will surely go up to the Fossil Sect together with you and demand an answer. They really do need to be properly woken up.”
Jiang Chen clenched both fists. Seeing Wang Fengqi trembling all over, he felt a wave of sorrow in his heart, as if he felt it himself. His disciple was not someone just anyone could bully.
“Thank you, Master! Thank you, both Master’s wives.”
Wang Fengqi knelt heavily before Jiang Chen, his eyes full of deep emotion. Now the only person he could rely on was Master.
Wu Ningzhu did not mind at all, but Yan Qingcheng still found it a bit hard to accept. Her face turned slightly red, but she did not object either.
“Between master and disciple like us, saying such things is just being polite. From now on, just cultivate well.”
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
Wang Fengqi could hardly hide the joy in his heart. This was the only happy moment he had had in all these years, because Master had acknowledged him and he had gained Master’s regard. From now on, he had only one goal, and that was to destroy the Fossil Sect and leave the Fossil Sect without a moment’s peace!
“There’s no time to waste. Let’s go to the Helian Family first.”
Jiang Chen said in a low voice. He raised his head, a grave look on his face, and the four of them quickly headed toward the Helian Family.
Jiang Chen asked his way along the road and finally found where the Helian Family was. It was only ten thousand miles away from here, not far.
When Jiang Chen arrived at the Wind God Valley, the gate guards of the Helian Family blocked Jiang Chen’s way.
“Who goes there? State your name. What business do you have coming to our Helian Family?”
The young man at the head, clad in armor, his expression cold and stern, was already at the Heavenly God Realm! Although he could feel the unstoppable aura of Jiang Chen and the others, he still spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“I’m looking for Helian Yue Er.”
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
“You’re looking for Aunt Yue? Who are you?”
The young guard asked.
“Who I am is none of your business. Just go in and announce me.”
Jiang Chen’s voice almost suppressed the young guard’s breath until he could hardly breathe. The young guard did not dare ask more and hurried back into the family to report.
The dozens of guards all had grave, oppressed looks on their faces. Before such an expert, they had no room at all to fight back.
Jiang Chen was not in a hurry. After all, he had come to pay a visit to the Helian Family, so he naturally could not make Helian Yue Er lose face. So Jiang Chen could only wait silently. The proper etiquette still could not be thrown away.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes to rest his mind, his expression cold, quietly awaiting a reply.
After about half an incense stick, someone finally came out of the Wind God Valley belatedly. A member of the Helian Family at the Early Divine King Realm looked calmly at Jiang Chen and the others and said indifferently:
“Aunt Yue has already entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will to cultivate and won’t come out for a while. So please, senior, come back another day.”
The Divine King had an arrogant look on his face and glanced at Jiang Chen and the others as he said it.
Jiang Chen’s face, however, darkened. He had waited so long for them, and they were going to brush him off with a single sentence? Who were they trying to fool? If Yue Er knew it was him who had come, she would definitely come rushing out without stopping. He had never imagined that these people would look down on him like this. Most importantly, it filled him with anger. Without even seeing Yue Er, where else could Jiang Chen go?
“I must see Yue Er today.”
Jiang Chen said coldly. A wave of cold air spread out, and everyone shuddered all over. Even that Divine King expert was nearly forced to his knees by Jiang Chen’s momentum.
“I’m really sorry, senior. Our Aunt Yue really has entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will to cultivate and can’t possibly come out for a while. Please come back another day.”
“Utter nonsense. Yue Er asked me to come for a talk, and you’re telling me she’s entered the Gate of Heaven’s Will to cultivate? I don’t care what kind of place that is. Today I must see Yue Er. If you dare brush me off again, don’t blame me for being ruthless. I’ve already held back again and again.”
Jiang Chen swept his sleeve and rose, his aura terrifyingly dark.
