Chapter 671 -668: Mysterious Old Man from the Eastern Land

A joyous reunion!

Jiang Jichen then took out a piece of blood-red old cloth and asked Qingya, “How many more pieces does your Blood-Red Battle Armor need?” 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Qingya still wore her Blood-Red Battle Armor, her fiery figure exuding a potent Charm Power.

She projected an aura of cold, bewitching beauty—a blood-hued sensuality.

Seeing the Blood-Saturated Old Cloth in Jiang Jichen’s hand, Qingya’s face lit up with pleasant surprise. “With this piece,” she said, “it should be halfway complete!”

This piece of blood-red old cloth was, of course, the one Jiang Jichen had taken from Bai Zihua.

While it was useless to him, if it could help Qingya complete her Blood-Red Battle Armor, it would undoubtedly give rise to a new Bloody Queen.

Another piece of blood-red cloth fused with Qingya’s Battle Armor.

HUMMM!

The next moment, the Blood-Red Battle Armor on Qingya erupted with a dazzling crimson light, forming a blood-red nimbus that enveloped her completely.

Qingya closed her eyes, seemingly receiving a new part of her inheritance.

Once she collected the complete Blood-Red Battle Armor, she would obtain the full inheritance of the Bloody Queen.

At that point, she would become powerful beyond measure.

The transference ended quickly. Now, Qingya possessed the distinct qualities of a Queen, her temperament one of cold, noble beauty.

Of course, it was a quality that would stir the desire of powerful men to conquer her.

“It’s no longer safe to linger here. We need to leave at once. Let’s head for Yunshui City. There are powerful experts there who can offer protection; things will be much better.”

Jiang Jichen said.

His Divine Thought swept across the Flower Rain Sect, revealing that not many people were left—only about a hundred women.

He had heard from Qing Ling that Qingya had casually formed this Flower Rain Sect after returning to the Celestial Pearl Country; the original sect had ceased to exist long ago.

“Well, since there’s a man around, I’ll naturally listen to what he says!”

Qingya said, half-joking and half-serious.

“Then it’s settled. With me here, you have nothing to worry about!”

Jiang Jichen spoke with brazen confidence, not a hint of humility in his tone.

Then, his expression shifted. “I have one more thing to take care of. Pack your things and wait for me. I’ll be right back!”

After speaking, Jiang Jichen’s figure flickered and vanished from the spot.

Using his Extreme Mountain and River Shadow Stepping Technique, Jiang Jichen moved like a flash of lightning, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

He crossed hundreds of miles in just a few hundred breaths, reappearing in Cyan Moon City.

By now, Jiang Jichen had already slaughtered the powerful undead in front of Cyan Moon City’s Imperial Palace, so only lesser Corpse Puppets and Corpse Generals remained in the city.

After Jiang Jichen’s departure, the survivors in the Imperial Palace had actually organized a counterattack, beginning to sweep Cyan Moon City clean of the remaining undead.

Jiang Jichen appeared directly inside the Jiang Mansion.

Sure enough, the Jiang Mansion was once again filled with people.

The disciples of the Jiang Family had returned to the Jiang Mansion. With no Corpse Generals, Corpse Kings, or Corpse Saints to worry about, they could easily reclaim their own estate.

The Jiang Mansion was now heavily guarded, but in Jiang Jichen’s eyes, the defenses were as good as nonexistent.

After a few flickers of movement, he appeared outside the door of a hidden hall in the Jiang Family’s second courtyard.

Inside the hall were the Jiang Family’s Second Elder, Jiang Qingyun; Third Elder, Jiang Qingsong; and Fourth Elder, Jiang Qinghe.

But in addition to the three of them, there was also a mysterious figure.

“Your Eminence, please, restore our Qi Seas! That monster, Jiang Jichen, he’s inhuman! His methods are so vicious—he wouldn’t even spare his own uncles, crippling our Cultivation without a second thought.”

The Jiang Family’s Second Elder, Jiang Qingyun, pleaded in a servile tone.

“Your Eminence, just restore our Qi Seas, and we’ll find a way to lure Jiang Jichen into a trap. Then we can use the Law Enforcement Guild to finish him off!”

Third Elder Jiang Qingsong added, offering his plan.

The mysterious figure was clad in black, his face a mask of arrogant indifference.

He was a gaunt old man whose aura revealed he had already reached the Saint Realm.

“You summoned me here just to restore your Qi Seas? My order was to kill Jiang Jichen. So many years have passed, yet not only is he alive and well, he’s returned this powerful. Heh… you lot are truly capable, aren’t you!”

“Last time I was summoned, it was to heal your legs. This time, it’s to repair your Qi Seas?”

“Damn it all! You useless pieces of trash, do you take me for your personal physician? You failed to kill Jiang Jichen, and now you want handouts? Since when is life so easy?”

The mysterious old man in black scolded, pointing coldly at the three Jiang Family Elders.

“A fine scolding! Creatures like them, barely even human, deserve to be cursed!”

However, just as the mysterious old man’s words faded, another voice cut in, accompanied by the sound of applause.

At the same time, a young man appeared in the hidden hall of the Jiang Family’s second courtyard. It was, of course, Jiang Jichen.

“Jiang Jichen… How can this be?”

The three Jiang Family Elders looked as if they had seen a ghost. Their faces paled, their eyes wide with terror and utter disbelief.

Even the mysterious old man in black was inwardly shocked.

He was a Saint Third Realm Cultivator, yet he hadn’t sensed Jiang Jichen’s arrival at all.

“Nothing is impossible. Second Elder, I see those legs of yours—which I recall crippling completely—are now good as new. You must have received treatment from some great expert.”

“That’s why I chose to spare your lives, but crippled your Qi Seas instead.”

“My return, coupled with your new injuries—I figured that would be enough to make you summon the person pulling your strings, right?”

Jiang Jichen stated coolly.

Jiang Jichen still remembered the words of the Jiang Family’s Grand Elder from back when he killed him. The Grand Elder had said that Jichen’s own father had offended a mysterious faction from the Eastern Land. Shortly after his father’s disappearance, a mysterious person from the Eastern Land had come to their door, demanding that the Grand Elder kill Jiang Jichen.

Because of this, Jiang Jichen had never been able to forget about that mysterious figure from the Eastern Land.

And only today did he finally use the three Jiang Family Elders to lure that person out into the open.

Otherwise, back on the platform before the Imperial Palace, Jiang Jichen would have annihilated the three of them with a point of his finger. Why else would he have possibly spared their lives?

At the thought of Jiang Jichen’s terrifying cunning, a chill ran through the three Jiang Family Elders and the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land.

The mysterious old man from the Eastern Land finally managed to regain his composure.

“Jiang Jichen, I have to admire your cunning,” the old man sneered. “But you are merely at the Saint First Realm. You think you can kill me? If I wish to leave, can you possibly stop me? How naive! How laughable!”

His aura surged, revealing the unmistakable might of a Saint Third Realm expert.

SPLAT!

SPLAT!

SPLAT!

Under the terrifying pressure of his Saint-level aura, the three Jiang Family Elders, who had lost their Cultivation, simply exploded. Their bodies burst into a fine mist of blood that stained the hall red.

Jiang Jichen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest.

The three Jiang Mansion Elders were not worth mourning.

Even if the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land hadn’t acted, he wouldn’t have let those three live.

In truth, the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land now hated the three Jiang Mansion Elders to his very core.

They had summoned him here only to land him in this dangerous predicament.

Although he didn’t know the true extent of Jiang Jichen’s power…

…anyone who could appear so silently beside him was undoubtedly powerful and terrifying—a definite threat.

Unleashing the power of the Saint Realm, the mysterious old man from the Eastern Land showed no intention of fighting Jiang Jichen. He simply flickered, intending to flee.

Before the world changed, experts of his caliber had been forbidden from acting. Moreover, because he hailed from a faction in the Eastern Earth Domain, he was not supposed to take action in the Southern Domain.

Due to these rules, mysterious pacts, and other reasons, he could only rely on the likes of the Jiang Mansion’s Grand Elder to try and kill Jiang Jichen.

But in the end, Jiang Jichen had still managed to escape the Celestial Pearl Country.

Now, the world had undergone a great change. The restrictions were gone, and all the pacts were void.

He could finally act as he pleased, but… Jiang Jichen was no longer the weak Cultivator of old whom he could crush at will!
