The hatred between Jiang Chen and the Third Prince could be traced back to the day he fought with Li Qin, so it was widely known.
Jiang Chen had threatened he would kill the Third Prince without hesitation once he got the chance.
According to the Third Princeâs character, this threat was enough for him to exterminate Jiang Chenâs entire family.
What had happened just then was a surprise in that the Third Prince had shown up there, but what he had done was quite within expectations.
Some people were gloating, while others felt worried for Jiang Chen.
The Third Princeâs arrows couldnât reach Jiang Chen, but it was still dangerous because they were outside the portal.
Each dynastyâs portal was open for three consecutive days and nights. The Third Prince could just stay there until it closed.
According to his reputation, he would do something like that.
The disciples of the Natural Law School were the most anxious. Jiang Chen had brought them into this. The portal was there, but they couldnât go through it.
Yet no one dared reason with the Third Prince or claim innocence.
If they opened their mouths and offended him, he could kill them with his arrow and they would have no chance to right their wrong.
âWhat? Arenât you gonna kill me? Now no one is protecting me. Why donât you come down from there?â the Third Prince provoked.
He was ranked among the top ten of the Eternal Flame List, so he didnât need any bodyguard in the Realm of Beasts; Jiang Chen wasnât a match for him either.
âItâs the first time Iâve seen someone so eager to die. Take it easy. I wonât keep you waiting for too long,â Jiang Chen said.
âHa, looks like you have no idea of the consequences if you donât go through the portal in time.â
The Third Prince burst into laughter. He pointed at a disciple of the Natural Law School standing nearby and said, âYou tell him. If you tell him well, Iâll allow you to go.â
That disciple was pleasantly surprised. He looked up and shouted at Jiang Chen immediately, âIf you donât get into the portal, youâll be trapped in the Realm of Beasts. Even the school wouldnât be able to do anything about it.â
âTell him whether he can leave the Realm of Beasts without a portal,â the Third Prince said, sounding like he wasnât very satisfied.
The disciple was scared. He hurried to say, âWeâre in the center area of the Realm of Beasts. Itâs the deepest part, but itâs the safest, since each city is deployed with a tactical formation. Once the time is up and the tactical formation is shut down, the Realm of Beasts will turn into hell. Mental Wander States wonât be able to survive here.â
âNot bad. Now, go!â the Third Prince said.
The disciple wasnât offended. Instead, he went through the portal joyfully. The other disciples all felt jealous of his luck.
âJiang Chen, did you hear that? The disciples of the Natural Law School will be trapped in the Realm of Beasts until they die, just like you!â The Third Prince grinned extremely arrogantly.
âYou have to do what youâve said. Otherwise, Iâll look down on you,â Jiang Chen said.
âWhat?â The Third Prince was dumbstruck. The other disciples of the Natural Law School hadnât expected that response either.
âIf youâre able, trap these disciples in the Realm of Beasts until their deaths,â Jiang Chen said coldly.
The disciples in the square were shocked. They started to swear. The Third Prince could surely do that.
âThese people are stupid.â
There were some smart people among the onlookers. They knew Jiang Chen was just trying to irritate the Third Prince, but the disciples of the Natural Law School werenât so grateful.
If the Third Prince killed so many disciples of the school, he would lose more than the arm of a Reaching Heaven State.
Following what Jiang Chen had said, he would probably let these disciples go, but no one could predict the Third Princeâs actions. He could also ignore the possible consequences.
The Third Prince was rolling his eyes. The disciples of the Natural Law School were so nervous that they didnât even dare breathe too hard.
âThird Prince.â
At this moment, Mu Zhenchuan came up to him and said, âJiang Chen is an evil guy. To defame you, he even wants his sibling disciples to die along with him. Donât take the bait.â
âYeah, thatâs right, Third Prince. Jiang Chen is very cruel.â
âWe donât want an apprentice brother like this.â
The other disciples of the school echoed this when they saw someone come forward.
Mu Zhenchuan had only tried to give the Third Prince an out, but the credit still belonged to Jiang Chen. These disciples of the Natural Law School had no idea at all which one they should pay gratitude to.
The Third Prince was pleased. He nodded and said, âYouâre right. I wonât give him what he wants. You, curse Jiang Chen as much as possible. Iâll let you go through the portal if I find it satisfactory. But if your curse sounds too perfunctory, donât blame me for the possible consequences.â
Cursing?
Only the Third Prince would force someone to do ugly things like that, but he was the most powerful person among those present⌠What could they do?
Ten-odd disciples of the Natural Law School pointed at Jiang Chen and cursed all of his ancestors with the greatest effort theyâd ever made.
It sounded very harsh.
If Jiang Chen had brought any honor to the Natural Law School in these days, this honor was at the moment being destroyed by these ten-odd people, but everyone feared the Third Prince. Anyone in their position would curse him as well, so no one scorned them.
Jiang Chen stayed in the air. He looked at the sibling disciples who were cursing him and memorized each of their faces, then he flew away silently.
âHa, I feel good! Now, leave!â The Third Prince was very happy.
The disciples of the Natural Law School were afraid the Third Prince would change his mind, so they darted into the portal right away.
Mu Zhenchuan wasnât in a hurry. He said, âThird Prince, are you going to stay here?â
âSure. If he has the nerve to come back, Iâll kill him with my arrow. If he doesnât, Iâll stay here until the portal is closed,â the Third Prince said.
Everyone knew the Third Prince did this not because he was afraid Jiang Chen would kill him when he was powerful enough, but because it was his personality.
âWhat? Are you going to put in a good word for him?!â The Third Prince glanced at Mu Zhenchuan and raised his eyebrows.
âOf course not! I just want to stay here to lend you a hand. He abolished ten of my holy points. I hate his guts!â Mu Zhenchuan said.
âI see. Stay here then!â
Time passed and dusk came soon. Many people wanted to stay there to see how things went. Those who had to leave because the portal would be closed soon were reluctant to go.
With fifteen minutes left, Mu Zhenchuan stood up and said something to the Third Prince, then went through the portal to go back to the school.
Jiang Chen soon appeared in the air again.
âWhat? Did you think I wouldnât be back?â
The Third Prince cheered up when he saw Jiang Chen coming back after waiting such a long time.
âNo. Iâve come to say something to you, as a gift.â
âOh?â
âPeople are allowed to kill in the competition held by the Sacred Institute, and thatâll be your time of death,â Jiang Chen said.
âYeah? Itâll only be possible if youâre able to leave here,â the Third Prince smiled.
Suddenly the portal behind him started to shrink. The Third Prince shrieked, âLook, your portal is shrinking. What are you gonna do?â
As he spoke, he put a darksteel arrow onto his bow to prevent Jiang Chen from going through the portal, but Jiang Chen stayed in the air until the end.
The portal became as small as a fist and then disappeared completely. Everyone was looking at Jiang Chen with pity.
âLooks like someone is doomed.â
The Third Prince shot the arrow casually. It didnât matter to him whether it hit anything. Then, he swaggered to his own portal and left.
The obstruction of the Third Prince was gone, but so was the portal.
