Chapter 29

The Li family came with a burst of momentum but left in a state of humiliation, leaving all the people of Tianxiang City in shock. This was a completely unexpected outcome. Originally, everyone thought there would be a major upheaval, but it turned out that not even a ripple was stirred.

"The Li family actually left. It seems the Jiang family has a hidden expert at the Tian Dan realm."

"Heaven, the Tian Dan realm, what a powerful existence. I never thought the Jiang family would have such a powerful guardian. No wonder even the Li family retreated."

"That's good. As long as the Jiang family stands, Tianxiang City won't fall into chaos. I hope the Li family doesn't come back."

...

The news spread quickly. Many people witnessed the Li family's departure, so it wasn't hard to know about the Jiang family's hidden Tian Dan realm expert. Moreover, many people near the City Lord's residence felt the soul pressure.

Jiang Chen was unconscious for a full hour before he regained consciousness. He felt his head throbbing and his body weak. More and faster chapters are available at [website].

Jiang Chen did not get up immediately. He immediately activated the Great Derivation Soul Cultivation Technique. After a few minutes, the headache slightly subsided, and he slowly sat up from the bed. He swallowed a Human Essence Pill, sat cross-legged, and simultaneously activated the Dragon Transformation Technique and the Great Derivation Soul Cultivation Technique to begin his recovery.

Outside Jiang Chen's courtyard, Jiang Zhenhai, Zhou Beichen, and other experts at the Qi Sea realm were pacing back and forth, waiting for Jiang Chen to come out. They also wanted to meet the Tian Dan realm expert.

They waited for a whole day until the sunset and evening arrived, but Jiang Chen still hadn't come out.

Inside the room, Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes. His hair moved without wind, and although his face was still somewhat pale, his condition was much better than before.

"The Dragon Transformation Technique is indeed a supreme divine technique. It promotes abundant blood and qi and has an extremely strong recovery ability. Unfortunately, the damage to my soul is not so easy to recover from."

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. Other injuries were easy to recover from, but damage to the soul was no laughing matter.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's soul was in a state of decline, and the backlash from the Great Derivation Soul Cultivation Technique was very terrifying.

"Given this state of my soul, it seems I can't refine pills in the short term. I need to find a way to recover my soul as soon as possible."

Jiang Chen thought to himself. The soul is the essence of a person. If the essence is damaged, the impact is enormous. It's not just about refining pills; a weakened soul would make it impossible to concentrate, and the body's functions would gradually decline, ultimately leading to a halt in cultivation.

Although Jiang Chen's soul was constantly being refined by the Great Derivation Soul Cultivation Technique, the damage this time was too severe. Relying solely on the technique's refinement would be difficult to recover. What he needed most now were soul-nourishing spiritual medicines and heavenly essence.

However, heavenly essence and spiritual medicines are extremely precious, especially the rarest soul-nourishing heavenly essence. This small Tianxiang City would not have them.

"It seems I need to make a trip to Chicheng. First, to find soul-repairing medicines, and second, to keep an eye on the Li family's actions."

Jiang Chen set his next goal. Chicheng was a must-visit. He had killed Li Changhong, and given Li Shan Yue's character, he wouldn't let it go. He would constantly check on the Jiang family's situation. Once he discovered that the Tian Dan realm expert was just a ruse, the Jiang family would face a true disaster.

Jiang Chen was not someone who liked to be passive. He preferred to have everything under control.

He got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

"Father, Uncle Zhou, why are you all gathered here?"

Jiang Chen asked knowingly.

Seeing Jiang Chen come out, the eyes of those who had waited for a whole day immediately lit up. Many of them felt ashamed, as they had wrongfully accused Jiang Chen, thinking he was hiding in the room out of fear. It turned out he was with the Tian Dan realm expert.

The young master's confidence wasn't baseless. With a Tian Dan realm expert as a trump card, it was natural to be confident and not fear the Li family.

"Chen, when did we get a Tian Dan realm expert in our family?"

Jiang Zhenhai asked impatiently.

"Master, when did you meet the Tian Dan realm expert? Even we didn't know."

Zhou Beichen said.

"Father, Uncle Zhou, this Tian Dan realm expert has a peculiar personality and likes peace. He is cultivating in seclusion here and doesn't like to be disturbed, so I didn't tell you."

Jiang Chen said casually.

"I see."

Everyone was enlightened and had no doubt about Jiang Chen's words. True experts naturally have their quirks, and it's normal for them to be peculiar.

Experts like to cultivate in peace and quiet. Yes, it must be so.

"Chen, this expert saved the lives of many people in our Jiang family. I want to meet this senior and thank him in person."

Jiang Zhenhai said.

"Father, I've already said that this expert doesn't want to see anyone. In the entire City Lord's residence, he only wants to see me. If I bring others to see him, he might get angry and leave."

Jiang Chen shrugged.

Hearing that the expert might leave, everyone panicked.

"Alright, I won't see him. But Chen, you must thank this expert properly. If he needs anything, we will do our best to satisfy him."

Jiang Zhenhai quickly said. Now that they had completely broken ties with the Li family of Chicheng, the Jiang family relied on this Tian Dan realm expert. If the expert left, and the Li family came back, the Jiang family would be at their mercy.

"Rest assured, Father. By the way, where is Murong Tian?"

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold. Murong Tian was the only survivor of the Murong family and a Qi Sea realm expert, posing a significant threat. He must be eliminated. If such a person escaped and hid, attacking the Jiang family, it would cause great damage. This was why Jiang Chen had Li Shan Yue leave Murong Tian behind; he never left any loose ends.

"He's been locked up, along with Yang Xiao and Chang Shan, those two scoundrels."

Zhou Beichen said.

"Go, bring them here."

Jiang Chen said.

Zhou Beichen and the fat and thin elders responded and turned to leave.

Soon, Zhou Beichen and two others brought Murong Tian and the others over. The three were covered in blood, their qi and blood scattered, clearly having been beaten up a lot.

"Jiang Chen, you little brat, you destroyed my Murong family. Even if I become a vengeful ghost, I won't let you off."

Murong Tian saw Jiang Chen and immediately started screaming.

"Shut up."

Zhou Beichen slapped him.

Jiang Chen's face turned cold. He extended two fingers, and a red flame shot out, like a long sword. He swiftly swung it at Murong Tian, and the flame cut through his neck, blood gushing out like a fountain. Murong Tian's voice abruptly stopped, and his body slowly fell to the ground.

Although everyone present knew and had seen Jiang Chen's abilities, they were still shocked by how easily he killed Murong Tian.

"Victory and defeat, that's the rule."

Jiang Chen said coldly, not even glancing at Murong Tian's body. His gaze focused on Yang Xiao and Chang Shan.

Thud!

Just one look, and the two fell to their knees, thoroughly terrified by Jiang Chen's means.

"Master, spare us. We were just temporarily confused and did something inhuman."

"Master, spare us. I, Chang Shan, am willing to serve you as a lifelong slave."

The two kowtowed repeatedly. To them, this young man was like a god of death.

"Having slaves like you, I can't even sleep soundly."

Jiang Chen's face was full of disgust. He hadn't used soul pressure earlier to test their loyalty. In a way, he was using Li Shan Yue to cleanse the Jiang family. More and faster chapters are available at [website].

Tianxiang City was just a small city. For the Jiang family, a Qi Sea realm expert was very important, so he had to ensure their highest loyalty.

"Kill them, they're disgusting."

The thin elder said fiercely.

At this moment, Yang Xiao and Chang Shan were so scared they wanted to die. They truly regretted their actions, as the saying goes, "If you don't seek death, you won't die."

They deeply regretted it. If they had known the Jiang family had a hidden Tian Dan realm expert, they would never have betrayed them. Now, their attempts to save their lives had failed, and those who had decided to die were still standing.

"Ah!"

Jiang Zhenhai sighed, his face full of regret and pain. These two had followed him for a long time, and he had treated them like brothers.

For a man, the most painful thing is betrayal and harm from a brother.

Jiang Zhenhai shook his head, not looking at the two again, and turned to leave, his back somewhat lonely.

"Master, what should be done with these two?"

Zhou Beichen looked at Jiang Chen.

"Kill them."

Saying these three simple words, Jiang Chen turned to follow Jiang Zhenhai, and two惨叫声 echoed from behind.

Deep into the night, the moon hung high in the sky. On the rooftop of the Jiang family's courtyard, two people stood side by side, looking up at the full moon without speaking.

These two were Jiang Chen and his father. For Jiang Zhenhai, too much had happened in this period, especially in the past two days, making him feel as if he were in a dream. He had never imagined his life would be so thrilling.

"When a person chooses to betray, they must be prepared to face the consequences."

Jiang Chen said calmly.

"I know."

Jiang Zhenhai smiled, but today's events had been a great blow to him.

"Father, I need to leave for a while."

Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"Leave?"

Jiang Zhenhai was first stunned, then looked at Jiang Chen, "Chen, where are you going?"

"Father, you don't need to worry. I'm just leaving for a while. With my abilities, don't you trust me?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"That's true. You have grown up completely. Your mental fortitude surpasses even your father, and your strength has already exceeded mine. Father knows that this small Tianxiang City can't confine you. Going out to train is a good thing."

Jiang Zhenhai said with satisfaction. With Jiang Chen's strength, he had no worries about him going out to train. Through the changes in this period, Jiang Zhenhai understood that no one who could harm his son had even been born.
