Chapter 1424: The Conclusion of the Ancient Ruins Trial

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

Nalan Ying didn’t call Jiang Chen senior brother because they were related to each other. It was just a respectful form of address to someone of the same generation.

However, someone like Nalan Ying who possessed great power and status probably wouldn’t even call the first-rank group experts senior brothers. This was why it wasn’t difficult to discern the feelings of people who had witnessed such a sight.

The one who was most stunned by this behavior was obviously Nalan Yu, and she still couldn’t get over her brother’s angry shout at her. As she witnessed her brother acting so lowly, she felt as if she was dreaming.

“Why is it like this?”

The answer was obvious, but Nalan Yu wasn’t willing to believe it. Jiang Chen was only an intermediate-stage Martial Emperor, and, since the three ranks system existed, how was it possible for him to be stronger than her brother who was a late-stage Martial Emperor?

Moreover, she knew that her brother was haughty and full of pride and wouldn’t bow his head to anyone in the second-rank group.

All of a sudden, Nalan Yu looked at the man and woman who had accompanied her brother, and she discovered that those people wore thought-provoking expressions. They weren’t shocked like the others, and they found this occurrence a matter of course.

“What is the origin of this person?”

This question ran through the minds of all the people who didn’t know who Jiang Chen was, while even Xia Houjie, who thought he had a good understanding of Jiang Chen, was confused.

“You have come here to kill me, and it’s difficult for me to ignore this matter.” Jiang Chen’s smile disappeared, and his gaze became ice-cold.

At this moment, Nalan Ying thought back to the people that had been killed by Jiang Chen atop the sea, while he also recalled that Jiang Chen was someone who had dared to kill even the Xia Clan’s King Yu and Meng Chong. Such a demented person wouldn’t take their lives seriously.

As Nalan Ying thought about this, his back became drenched with cold sweat and his legs started shivering.

“Senior brother, it’s a misunderstanding. We never considered killing you,” Nalan Ying summoned his courage and spoke.

“Are you implying that I have wronged you?” An ice-cold glint flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes and shot out

Nalan Ying felt like his heart had been penetrated by a sword, and his face turned as pale as paper, while his breathing became rough.

“Your little sister will die today,” Jiang Chen spoke once again.

Upon hearing this, Nalan Yu’s pretty face turned pale with fright, and she almost started weeping.

As for Nalan Ying, he was also startled, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

“I’m willing to offer my life in exchange for my little sister’s life.”

After a moment, Nalan Ying shouted fiercely. He knew what kind of person Jiang Chen was, and he was aware that he wasn’t joking. This was why after he spoke, he knew he had already sacrificed his life.

“Brother!” Nalan Yu charged forward with tears streaking across her face, and she knelt in front of Jiang Chen. She said, “I admit my mistakes, so please don’t kill my brother.”

Upon witnessing her entreating him, Jiang Chen still wore the same expression. Neither anger or delight could be seen on his face.

“Are you afraid? Are you desperate? When you act overbearingly in the future, recall what you feel now,” Jiang Chen said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, the Nalan family’s siblings were taken aback, and they became wild with joy. They realized that Jiang Chen didn’t plan to kill them.

“Senior brother, thank you. Senior brother, thank you,” Nalan Ying expressed his thanks, while he pulled his sister to leave. He went toward another exit.

The people in the vicinity started whispering to each other, and they looked at Jiang Chen with a fearful gaze.

Later, more experts of the second-rank group came over, one after another, and every time one of them saw Jiang Chen, he would jump with fright, before leaving decisively and heading off to another exit.

“What is the matter with this guy? When the experts of the second-rank group see him, they act as scared as if they were mice that saw a cat.”

“Even the experts of the first-rank group don’t possess such great prestige.”

“Nalan Ying is a proud person. Yet he still didn’t even consider putting up any resistance. It’s obvious that this guy could instantly kill Nalan Ying.”

“Why wasn’t such an expert sent into the Martial Field?”

Discussions about this matter arose everywhere. The people didn’t pay attention to their wealth any longer. They just talked about Jiang Chen.

Xia Houjie, who was standing next to Jiang Chen, had complex feelings about this. He rejoiced because he had befriended Jiang Chen from the beginning before he had gotten so much power, and he wondered whether his fate would change because of this.

“Ha, ha, ha, Jiang Chen!”

At this moment, another expert of the second-rank group came over, and, when he saw Jiang Chen, he wasn’t scared. Instead, he was delighted.

The only person in the Ancient Ruins who could laugh heartily without worrying about his image was Duan Yun.

“What is going on?”

Xia Houjie still remembered that when they had just entered this land Jiang Chen and Duan Yun had had a feud. So how did they become so close to each other after they had entered this land?

Jiang Chen chuckled and called Duan Yun over.

There were only three exits, and there was a high probability that some of his teammates would come over here. But he didn’t expect that it would be Duan Yun.

It hadn’t been so long since he had seen Duan Yun, yet his aura had changed drastically once again. His blood-red pupils had become vertical, and they didn’t resemble human’s eyes.

The detrimental effects of the Sovereign Spirit’s awakening had disappeared completely, and the sole difference between the current Duan Yun and the previous one was his realm level. As for the other aspects, they were the same as in his past life, perhaps a bit greater.

The person who came over after Duan Yun was Miss Bai. She had gone directly to Jiang Chen’s side, while wearing a natural smile and a soft gaze. She had also made great progress like Duan Yun.

“Since the three great factions don’t allow you to reveal your true form, why do you still have to participate in the Sovereign Road trial? It’s too unfair.”

Jiang Chen took advantage of this occasion to raise questions about matters that evoked his curiosity.

Their relationship was so close that they could chat about such matters.

“The Sovereign Road is the fruit of myriad clans’ efforts and being excluded from it would be a disaster to any clans,” Miss Bai said.

“As a matter of fact, at first, the three great factions wouldn’t allow monsters to even take part in it. However, even though we weren’t allowed to step into the Nine Realms, we still had great influence over the other Independent Realms. This was why we exerted pressure on the three great factions in secret, and they were forced to accept us.”

“It turns out that it’s like this. It means that the three great factions don’t make things difficult for you on purpose, because it’s you who have managed to win over such rights. Isn’t it the case?”

Jiang Chen didn’t really understand all about this affair.. But he still felt that this matter was unfair to the Monster Clan.

It was unknown whether the reason that he had such thoughts was due to the influence of Miss Bai or Whitey.

All of a sudden, the formless power distorting the sky made this area shine with bright lights, and, just after this, a light beam fell from the sky and landed on the ground. It linked and connected the sky and the ground!

This was the exit passage, and the people in the vicinity rushed to it impatiently, while Jiang Chen and his companions also entered the light beam the same way they had entered it previously to reach this land.

After they suffered the brunt of the suction force, they left the Ancient Ruins and were back outside.

“Well? There are so many auras of Sacred Lords here.”

Before Jiang Chen had a clear look at the world in front of his eyes, his sharp senses detected several dozen Martial Saints in the vicinity.

After his sight had recovered, he looked over at the Martial Saints stealthily, and he discovered that they came from all different factions.

The current situation was different than when the crowd had just entered, and there weren’t just three Martial Saints here.

There were large Flying Spirit Artifacts stopping over in the sky, and a giant ship with several decks was the most eye-catching of them.

The Martial Saints wore nervous looks, and they observed the people who came out.

As the number of people who had come out increased, some of the Martial Saints heaved a sigh of relief, while some of them frowned.

“Jiang Chen, it’s awful for us here. Let’s quickly leave this place.”

After Duan Yun came back to his senses, he said, “The people who were chosen as Young Sovereigns were all outstanding representatives of the great factions. Most of the factions’ people were deeply worried when they sent them to the Ancient Ruins. They were afraid of losing them.”

“You have killed more than ten excellent experts atop the sea, and all those people surely won’t take things lying down.”

It was really exactly like Duan Yun had said. After the three light beams had disappeared, the expressions of some of the Martial Saints, whose brows had been furrowed, became ashen. The reason behind this was that the people that they awaited didn’t emerge, and it meant that they had already died within the Ancient Ruins.
