Azure Demon was set up, too. After his death, his soul was hiding in a hunting
lodge in the mountains, waiting for an appropriate man to appear so that he
could seize this manâs body.
He didnât leave there until he met Jiang Chen. By then 1000 years had
passed. Things were still there, but men were not.
The whole Azure Gang was gone. His enemy could have died, too.
Although Azure Demon didnât show up, Jiang Chen could empathize with him.
For Azure Demon, it was 1000 years, while for him , it was 500.
He was wondering whether he would have the same feeling when he went
back to the Sacred Zone again. By then the Over Cloud Palace would have
been gone. So would the people he was looking for.
The mere thought of that put him panicked. He looked pale.
As smart as Tang Shiya and Tang Ruâer, they didnât disturb him.
Donât know how long had passed, the three felt a chilly wind coming
headlong. And they smelt blood in the air.
They put on guard immediately. Looking around, soon they saw a flock of
birds flying over from not far away. The dense mass of them froze their blood.
âBloody crows! Sister Shiya, run!â Tang Ruâer shouted.
âDonât let the bloody crows surround you.â
Tang Shiya told Jiang Chen, looking for a place to hide in.
If they escaped through the air, they could choose any direction and any
However, Tang Shiya looked like she was in a pickle. Tang Ruâer was even
Jiang Chen saw there were not only bloody crows ahead, but also in other two
directions. These birds seemed to intend to surround them, as if they knew
The only direction free of the bloody crows led to a mountain forest. The
highest mountain there was only hundreds of meters high.
But Tang Shiya hesitated, because there was a dreadful holy-level fierce
If they flew over it, the fierce beast would definitely chase them.
âThese bloody crows donât seem very formidable. Letâs break out of the
encirclement,â Jiang Chen proposed.
âThere is something you donât know. These bloody crows are very dreadful.
They suck peopleâs essence blood. Once you get entangled by them, youâll
Tang Shiya didnât agree. She said, âWe should either fly very high or find a
Jiang Chen didnât see why. Two of them were Martial Venerables. They
shouldnât have panicked like this.
And he really didnât think those bloody crows were strong.
The same size as normal crows, they had black feathers and small red eyes,
The front end of their beaks, which looked like ebony, was extremely sharp.
âNo practicers below Spiritual Venerable level can deal with such a great
amount of bloody crows, unless theyâre good at the conception of fire.â
Tang Ruâer explained. She knew he was puzzled.
âWell, Iâm good at the conception of fire. Let me handle them,â Jiang Chen
âAnd you must achieve the great doctrine of fire!â
Tang Shiya and Tang Ruâer reacted pretty much the same. They remembered
Jiang Chen hadnât used any fire in the fight against Xu Guan.
Jiang Chen raised his right arm high. Palm up, he looked as if he was lifting
something. Soon, a hot wave started to whirl, with his hand as the center, and
Although the two sisters didnât see any flames, they felt it was getting hotter
The thousands of bloody crows were approaching. They kept hearing the
fluttering sound of the crowsâ wings and their chirps.
Tang Shiya made up her mind, if Jiang Chen didnât do anything, she would do
Right at that moment, a small flame rose from Jiang Chenâs palm.
A fire dragon rose in the hot wave. The orange flame was very dense, like a
It was formidable. As soon as the bloody crows made contact with it, they
The sky full of the dense mass of crows cleared up instantly. The remaining
bloody crows fled away. They were too few to be threatening.
Tang Ruâer patted her plump chest, feeling relieved.
Tang Shiya expressed her gratitude. She said, âYou might not know how
strong those bloody crows are. Fire is almost the only effective way to get rid
of them. Once surrounded by these bastards, youâll be killed in only one
minute, just like how ants plod away at an elephant.â
âDo people run into them frequently?â Jiang Chen asked out of curious, not
very interested in what Tang Shiya had told him.
âNo. Actually you donât run into them a lot. And usually youâll be able to run
Speaking of this, Tang Shiya felt puzzled, too. She said with hesitation, âIâve
never heard about the situation like today, that they surrounded people from
At this moment, the three noticed a group of practicers were approaching
them from not far way. There were eight people, all Martial Venerables.
The leader was a strong man. He had light brown skin and thick brows.
It seemed he had been attracted here by the disturbance of just now. He was
pleasantly surprised when he had seen Tang Shiya.
âApprentice Sister Shiya, itâs you! What a surprise to see you here,â the man
âYeah, Apprentice Brother He.â Tang Shiya didnât seem very glad. She was
Apprentice Brother He seemed used to that. Still smiling, he laid his eyes on
Jiang Chen. He asked, âThis isâŠ?â
âA friend.â Tang Shiya didnât tell him more.
âHow did you know each other? I didnât know you had such a friend,â
Apprentice Brother He said.
His response was annoying. Tang Shiya apparently furrowed. She didnât want
âWe knew this brother for business matters. Weâre traveling together because
the account hasnât been settled,â Tang Ruâer said unconcernedly. She didnât
seem to have noticed those details, but a cunning look flashed across her
âWhat a big deal. How much is that? Just tell me,â Apprentice Brother He said
âAbout 200 million upper-grade yuan stones,â Tang Shiya said unhappily.
Apprentice Brother He and those with him all turned pale. They were
âApprentice Sister Shiya, what did you buy? Is he a conman?â Apprentice
Brother He threw Jiang Chen a skeptical look, and he didnât sound he was
âNo, itâs not like that. He bought something from me and I donât have the
change for him,â Tang Shiya said.
Apprentice Brother He was embarrassed again, but he didnât blame Tang
Shiya. Instead, he was looking at Jiang Chen in a more and more unkind
âApprentice Sister Shiya, this guy doesnât look like a good person. He looks
rich, but who knows where his money is from,â Apprentice Brother He said in
Jiang Chen burst out laughing instead of getting angry.
âWhat are you laughing at?!â Apprentice Brother He said in anger.
âYou tried to be generous, but failed. Then you started to talk aimlessly. And
now you even said such a shameless thing. Do you think you can get a pretty
woman in this way? Arenât you crying for the moon?â
In Jiang Chenâs eyes, this guy was like a clown.
âYou!â Apprentice Brother He didnât expect him to have the nerve to refute.
Didnât he see so many people were standing behind him?
âApprentice Brother He, weâre leaving if everything is fine here.â Tang Shiya
didnât want to lose face in Jiang Chenâs presence.
âApprentice sister, Iâm thinking for your sake. I donât want this Adonis to cheat
you. He doesnât look like a good man,â Apprentice Brother He said nervously.
âWhat does a good man do? To send the bloody crows to attack and then
pretend to be the hero?â
