Chapter 99: It’s only a Joke

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Crane the Third knew nothing about Jiang Chen’s sword methods. He thought he could kill this disciple of the Natural Law School simply with his speed.

“Great… great sword. But even so, it’s impossible… impossible for you to have detected my position!” Crane the Third covered the wound in his chest with his hand and spit out his disbelief. He couldn’t accept that Jiang Chen had cracked his unique movement.

“Because your secret method has too many flaws. It’s only a low-level method,” Jiang Chen said.

A method would evolve for many reasons. It could even become completely different from what it originally was.

For example, if a sect had a sky-level method, then the sect was in crisis and its disciples scattered, later, these disciples could summarize what they’d learned from the methods and create their own methods based on the original ones. They could teach them to their descendants, but since these new methods wouldn’t be so complete, their level would be degraded to earth level or lower.

Then, these new methods would evolve due to similar reasons.

The secret method Crane the Third had practiced was a yellow-level method after its evolution.

Jiang Chen could even speculate from which sky-level method it evolved. Of course, it was a piece of cake for him to see through the flaws with just one look.

Crane the Third was so irritated that he even spit blood out when he heard Jiang Chen belittle the method he was proud of to that extent. His eyes were wide open when he died. It wasn’t difficult to imagine how reluctant he was.

The other guys hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to be so powerful that he could even kill Crane the Third, whose state was higher than theirs, with one attack.

By then, they had no good options. They didn’t want to fight with Jiang Chen, but they also knew Jiang Chen wouldn’t let them go easily, even if they surrendered.

At this moment, Chu Luo picked up the pills Crane the Third had lost and swallowed them down.

Her strength instantly recovered and she stood up immediately. Her expression was ice-cold. Very quickly, she dashed towards those men.

Jiang Chen put his Redcloud Sword aside upon seeing this.

Chu Luo had good strength. She was in the completed late stage of the Gathering Yuan State. Besides, she had mastered the sword point. Those guys were nothing to her.

“Thank you for your help.”

Dorchid observed Jiang Chen’s face in secret while speaking. Then all of a sudden, she looked down and stroked her hair. She grinned at him, “I didn’t know your swordsmanship was so great. I belittled you before.”

People from the Grand Qi State were tough as nails. They adored force. Only strong men could impress the women.

“Not at all. Why aren’t you with your brother?” Jiang Chen asked.

“You want to know where Wen Xin and Meng Hao are, don’t you?” Dorchid asked him.

Jiang Chen was surprised. This woman was not only smart, but also direct.

Dorchid’s question was confirmed when she saw Jiang Chen’s expression. She said, “They took another way with my brother. They should be safe.”

“How dare you insult the disciples of the Isle of Sky! You are courting death,” Chu Luo shouted loudly and killed all of the guys. But this wasn’t enough. She shook the blood off her blade with force and sneered at the dead bodies.

Then something occurred to her. She looked over to Jiang Chen and asked him, “Did you get in from outside? What’s out there? Can we go out?”

“You didn’t enter here from outside?”

“No. There is a small door back there. We came through that door,” Dorchid said.

Jiang Chen told them what had happened outside. Learning that they’d been trapped there, some female disciples of the Isle of Sky became panicked. One of them was even crying.

“Apprentice sister, what shall we do? Will we die here?”

“I don’t want to die!”

“I… I don’t know, either.” Chu Luo also panicked. She didn’t know what to do.

“This place is an imperial mausoleum. The kings of the Vermillion Bird State were buried here after their death. There must be an exit,” Jiang Chen said.

Chu Luo, Dorchid and other girls’ eyes lit up. They all looked over to him.

“How did you know?”

“Take us out!”

Jiang Chen was indifferent to their expectations. He leaned against a table and said, “I can take you out. But what benefits do I get?”

“Benefits?” Chu Luo was puzzled.

“Sure. I’ll give you a discount. I won’t charge you for what happened just now,” Jiang Chen smiled.

He had been wondering why Chu Luo had wanted his map back at the beginning of the journey.

Marks were accessible to everyone. It wouldn’t have done her any good to take the map back, unless they had been enemies. But he hadn’t even known this woman before that.

At first, he thought Chu Luo was causing him trouble for Ning Haotian’s sake, but when she was asking for the map, she didn’t even know who he was.

The only explanation was that this woman was a stingy person.

The guy in the Prince List is a coward. The woman in the Beauty List is a penny pincher. How interesting!

As he expected, Chu Luo understood what he meant and gave an unreadable expression.

“What benefits do you want?” the female disciple who had cried asked.

“What do you have to exchange for your life?” Jiang Chen said.

Dorchid made an odd face when she heard him. She felt Jiang Chen was implying something.

In this desperate, close space, with only one man and a few women, as powerful and as intelligent as Jiang Chen was, he must have known how to get out. It wasn’t surprising he wanted to take advantage of this situation to do something.

Dorchid was only guessing, but Chu Luo almost thought it was a fact. She said, “You are as shameless as those guys of the Gang of Knife and Sword! And you’re putting it in such a roundabout way. Hypocrite!”

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders without explanation. He said, “Stay here then.”

Then he turned around.

“Wait, Apprentice Brother Jiang. I have a class-one spiritual weapon. Will you take it?” the female disciple who had cried asked timidly.

“Don’t do that!” Chu Luo felt sorry, although her spiritual weapon was a class three.

“I bought a class-three weapon for my cousin sister. Sorry. I don’t think it’s valuable enough to exchange for your life. But, I think maybe the sword in your Apprentice Sister Chu Luo’s hand is,” Jiang Chen said.

“That’s impossible!”

Chu Luo stared at him angrily and said, “This sword is a gift from my master. I won’t give it to you. You said this intentionally to force me to give in, didn’t you?!”

“Fine. Hopefully we can meet again in the aboveground world,” Jiang Chen said.

“Wait, besides the spiritual weapon, will you accept other things?” that female disciple turned red when she said this.

“What do you mean by other things?” Jiang Chen asked with interest.

“You… you know what I mean,” the female disciple said in a voice that could hardly be heard. What she meant was obvious.

“Oh!”

Jiang Chen drawled and showed an expression as if he had just figured out what she had meant. He said, “If you mean that, I’m only interested in your Apprentice Sister Chu Luo. Well, will you give me the sword or the thing you mentioned?”

The female disciples of the Isle of Sky all looked over to Chu Luo.

They certainly wouldn’t oblige Chu Luo to sacrifice her virginity. They only hoped she would give Jiang Chen her sword.

Her spiritual weapon mattered, but her life mattered more.

However, it seemed Chu Luo didn’t understand such an obvious truth. She gnashed her teeth and held her sword tightly, as if she were afraid she would be robbed of it.

“You… if you take us out and go to the Isle of Sky to propose marriage to me, I’ll agree,” Chu Luo answered.

“Apprentice sister.”

The female disciples became speechless. After all, it was only a spiritual sword!

“Ha, it was only a joke. I don’t even know where the exit is.”
