âLeader, this place is empty.â
The other team members walked out of the palace, full of confusion.
Jiang Chen flew up from the foot of the mountain. He had buried the three bodies, all sibling disciples. Although they hadnât known each other, there hadnât been hatred among them.
âJiang Chen, Cheng Qing has sensed the location of the treasure. It should be in this palace, and it can lead us to the killer,â said Han Siming.
The others wished they could head there right away, but they soon came to themselves. Someone else had beaten them to it. They could do nothing about it. If they asked the person to give them the treasure, it would be robbery.
They werenât shameless enough to do that.
However, that person had killed three disciples of the Hero Palace. That gave Jiang Chen the excuse to go after him, and since Jiang Chen was a member of the team, of course they would lend him a hand. After they killed that man, the treasure would no longer have an owner.
Then they would have a perfectly justifiable excuse.
âHow do you sense where the treasure is?â Jiang Chen didnât air his opinion immediately, so others didnât sense his hatred.
âI can sense the existence of a still object with strong energy from a certain distance.â Cheng Qing said impatiently, âThat person isnât moving now, but as soon as he moves, Iâll lose track of the treasure. If he gets far enough away, Iâll lose him completely.â
What she had said made the others anxious.
âI didnât know them. I wonât pretend that Iâll get revenge for them, but Iâll aim for the treasure,â said Jiang Chen.
âAre you afraid? You have us with you.â Cheng Qing didnât believe him. There was complaint in her tone.
Jiang Chen glanced at her. His stern stare made her stiffen. She shut her mouth.
âBut as a member of the Hero Palace, I have to seek revenge for them.â
âSo letâs go.â Some people didnât understand why he was still talking such a load of garbage.
âPromise me you wonât step in. Iâll do it all by myself,â Jiang Chen finally told them the reason he hadnât left the area yet.
Han Siming understood what he meant. He said, âI see, but that guy even killed Speedy Wind. Wonât it be too hard for you?â
Not until then did the others realize what was on Jiang Chenâs mind. They were surprised that he was still struggling with it. They really didnât know what to say at this point.
âLeader, weâll take him there first. If he canât do it alone, weâll lend him a hand,â Cheng Qing said through holy awareness.
âOkay.â Han Siming took her suggestion. The affirmative answer was for both of them.
The team kept advancing under Cheng Qingâs lead.
âDo you think he wants to pocket the treasure alone? Since he wants to do it all by himself.â
âYouâre absolutely right. Thereâs no one that pure in this world.â
âBut if he isnât even comparable to Speedy Wind, how could he deal with the person that killed Speedy Wind?â
âHaha, letâs wait and see.â
The team members communicated with each other through holy awareness, looking towards Jiang Chen from time to time like he was ridiculous.
Only Han Siming knew that Jiang Chen had been telling the truth.
Jiang Chen had been in Cloud Three before entering the secret treasure, but by that time, he was in Cloud Five.
He had made such extreme progress in only three days. Of course, the secret treasure had helped him a lot.
The team quickly arrived at a giant waterfall. A youngster was lying on a rock under the torrent, completely relaxed, with a sliver of green grass in his mouth.
He didnât even turn his head to look at the team, as if he hadnât noticed their arrival yet.
However, the youngster suddenly spoke when the team was going to take another step. âYouâve disturbed my noon break. Have you thought about the price youâre going to pay?â He wasnât looking at them with his half-closed eyes.
âYouâre not from the Evil Cloud Palace, so why did you kill the disciples of the Hero Palace?â asked Han Siming.
âBecause they didnât answer my question.â
The youngster sat up, sizing his visitors up with interest, and said, âSo youâre from the Hero Palace?â
Jiang Chen came forward and said, âNot all of us.â
âSo Iâll ask you one thing that they werenât able to answer,â the youngster said, smiling.
Han Siming and the others were nervous. Obviously, if they couldnât answer it either, he would start killing!
Although the young man still looked languid, the intangible pressure he was posing was already unbearable.
âWhat do you want to know?â Jiang Chen asked.
It was incredible that Jiang Chen could stay so calm.
âWhere is Jiang Chen?â
The youngster asked a question that was very shocking for Han Siming and the others.
He had asked about Jiang Chen in his presence. Apparently, they didnât know each other, so why did he want to kill Jiang Chen so badly?
âYou killed the three guys just for this question?â Jiang Chen said coldly.
âSo you know the answer.â The youngster showed more interest and stood up.
âYeah. I know where he is,â said Jiang Chen.
âTell me, and Iâll show mercy and let you live.â His eyes were shining when he spoke.
Cheng Qing and the others found it difficult to even breathe.
âI am Jiang Chen,â said Jiang Chen.
The young man squinted and said, âYou are?â
âYou killed Yuchi Hong?â the youngster asked again. He was Yuchi Tian, one of the three famous youngsters from the Yuchis that were hunting down Jiang Chen.
Han Siming also realized what it was about.
âYouâre from the Yuchis?â Jiang Chen asked.
The young man didnât answer him. Instead, he burst out in laughter. His energy was so aggressive that even the giant waterfall had stopped flowing.
Not until he had stopped laughing did the water start to fall again.
âIâve been looking for you for three whole days. In the end, youâve come to me yourself. What should I say?â said Yuchi Tian.
âThink about it then,â Jiang Chen said, âBecause these will be your last words.â
âWhee!â Yuchi Tian uttered a strange shriek. His expression was affected and exaggerated, but others felt a stronger and stronger pressure emanate from him.
Behind Jiang Chen, everyone except Han Siming had to step backward.
âJiang Chen, heâs too strong. Letâs do it together.â Han Siming couldnât be too careful.
âNo. Iâll do it alone,â Jiang Chen insisted.
Han Siming was worried, but Cheng Qing stopped him. She said, âLeader, now that heâs insisted, let him do it. We can see what he has, too.â
This time, she didnât speak through holy awareness, but out loud, because it didnât matter to her whether Jiang Chen collaborated with them or not.
âYour teammates donât seem to trust you,â Yuchi Tian scorned.
âThose are your last words?â
Yuchi Tianâs smile faded a little. There was clear anger on his face. He said, âYou must have killed Yuchi Hong with your mouth.â
âYouâll learn how he died soon.â
âIâve seen too many stubborn people like you. When I defeat you, youâll cry and beg for my mercy,â Yuchi Tian said, âBut what you just said is unforgivable!â
