Chapter 583 - Expecting the Banquet

Chapter 583: Expecting the Banquet

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

Those from the Realm of Milky were more confident than those from the

Realm of Nine Heavens. They were still wearing these fight loops on their

sleeves even though they were in the Realm of True Force, because those

were the symbol of their tradition and their proud.

Nine golden fight loops represented the climax level among young geniuses.

No wonder those from the Realm of Milky showed this Nan Xuan so many

respects.

“Everyone claims himself the best, but can’t afford even one strike in a real

fight,” Jiang Chen said in a cold tone.

Those from the Realm of Milky were unhappy to hear that.

“Ignorant! Don’t you think you’re on an equal footing with Apprentice Brother

Nan Xuan, just because you defeated me,” Song Ji yelled at him, ahead of

anyone else.

“Are you a lackey now, after the defeat? What a great change,” Jiang Chen

said sarcastically.

Song Ji was going to say something, but Nan Xuan stopped him. He said to

Jiang Chen, “I’m disappointed at you.”

“Oh? You unleashed your dog and allowed him to bark here. It ‘s so annoying.

But now you’re unhappy with my attitude?”

Jiang Chen minced no words, not trying to be nice at all.

Nan Xuan was wearing a blue and white robe, handsome and noble-looking.

He looked like a young master with good education.

“Brother Nan Xuan, put him in his place,” Song Ji said eagerly.

“I’ve lost interest to fight against him. We don’t have to rush. He’ll pay a price

for what he has done in the banquet five days later.” Nan Xuan didn’t have

any intention to fight. He didn’t even seem interested in Jiang Chen.

Such a gesture was the most annoying.

Song Ji beamed, as if he had been informed of something new. He said,

“Jiang Chen, don’t break down in the banquet five days’ later.”

“Worry about yourself.”

Jiang Chen gave him a glance. Then looking at Nan Xuan, he said coldly,

“You can’t just fight whenever you want and stop fighting when you lose your

interest. Sometime it’s not up to you.”

“Yeah?”

Nan Xuan was surprised at what Jiang Chen had said. He said, smiling,

“What do you propose?”

“I’m curious to know how great a man with nine golden fight loops is.”

Raising his arm, Jiang Chen pointed the Redcloud Sword at Nan Xuan.

“Huh.”

Nan Xuan smiled coldly. His arms dangling, a hostile look flashed across his

eyes.

He said immediately, “Since you want to accelerate the end of a thing without

any suspense, I’m in.”

A long sword of magic treasure level appeared in his right hand right away.

“Enough!”

A voice came at this moment, not very loud, but pretty imposing.

The ward vanished. Two men with strong energies appeared from nowhere.

“Celestial Venerables!”

The people there were shocked. With the two Celestial Venerables standing

at such a close distance, they felt the two were like two huge mountains.

“Since when did the Holy Martial Arts Yard allow you to have a private fight?”

The Celestial Venerables looked stern and majestic.

The young Venerables from the two realms were panic-stricken. Their facial

expressions kept changing.

“If you really want to fight, you’ll find plenty of chances in the banquet. If

anyone is found to be involved in any private fight again, we’ll kick him out of

the Holy Martial Arts Yard, regardless of reasons, regardless of who is right

and who is wrong.”

The Celestial Venerable in the gray robe said in a calm tone. No one could tell

how he was feeling, but he was showing an authority that no one dared

challenge.

“Yes, Celestial Venerables. What happened today won’t happen again,” Nan

Xuan said.

“Good.”

The other Celestial Venerable nodded. He threw Jiang Chen a meaningful

glance, and then left with his companion.

“Let’s go!”

As soon as the Celestial Venerables left, Nan Xuan left with his men, too.

“It’s them who came here to pick a fight, but they sounded like it’s us who

started this.”

Those from the Realm of Nine Heavens were extremely unhappy.

Mu Kun had treated his wounds by then. He said, “That’s why I said we’d

better act in group. I recommend Jiang Chen to be our leader.”

“Yeah, I agree.”

“Yeah, Jiang Chen is totally qualified.”

The others from the Realm of Nine Heavens all agreed since they had seen

Song Ji defeated by Jiang Chen in one sword attack.

“It’s too much to call me leader, but it’s true we should take care of each other

in the Realm of True Force,” Jiang Chen said.

“When that Nan Xuan mentioned the banquet, he sounded like something bad

would happen to Jiang Chen.”

Someone thought of what Nan Xuan had said, curious and worried.

Jiang Chen knew nothing about that, either.

“Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen, my sister sent me for you. She has

something to discuss with you.”

Tang Ru’er suddenly walked in. Smiling, she seemed to be in a good mood.

Jiang Chen nodded at Mu Kun and the others. Then he left with Tang Ru’er.

“Apprentice Brother Jiang Chen is really great. He has received such a

preferential treatment as soon as he arrived in the Realm of True Force.”

“It’s said Tang Shiya is very influential in the Realm of True Force. Her family

is really powerful.”

Mu Kun and the others felt very envious. Since they thought Jiang Chen’s

strength made him deserve that, they weren’t jealous or disdainful of him.

Tang Ru’er kept sizing Jiang Chen up as she led the way, showing great

interest in him.

“Anything wrong?”

“Brother Chen, are you a violent person?” Tang Ru’er asked curiously.

“Why?” Jiang Chen couldn’t figure out why she thought so.

“It’s said you killed many people in the Flying Feather City and gave the

disciples of the Tianyi School a good beat in the Water Dragon City. Now in

the Holy Martial Arts City, you’re stirring up trouble again.”

She wasn’t afraid Jiang Chen would be pissed, since people usually don’t

take offense from the children’s babble.

She was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her silvery voice would put no

one angry at all.

“You won’t understand, even if I tell you,” Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.

Tang Ru’er wouldn’t understand him. Born in a big family, and as a disciple of

the Yunlan School, she grew up in love.

Wherever she went, no one would make things difficult for her. Not to mention

to fight against her.

By comparison, Jiang Chen just arrived in the Realm of True Force. Everyone

was trying to establish their authority or cut a smart figure by bullying him.

He had to fight back. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.

But then he was thought to be violent.

Jiang Chen didn’t know how to respond. To some extent, he was really a mild

person.

Tang Shiya, in an azure skirt, was expecting him in the same pavilion on the

lake where they had been the day before. She looked fresh and noble. People

could never tell whether she was happy or sad from her pretty face.

“Jiang Chen, have you heard about the banquet that will be held a few days

later?” Tang Shiya said.

“Yep, I’ve heard about it.”

“I don’t suggest you attend it. Because of what you did, the young Venerables

from all forces of the Realm of True Force are expecting to teach you a

lesson, to humble you, even to kill you.”

As straightforward as always, Tang Shiya said, “The aim to attend the

banquet is to find a force of the Realm of True Force to support you. But due

to the influences of the Shangguans and the Tianyi School, no big force will

help you. Even if you attend it, it’ll be in vain.”

Not until then did he realize what Nan Xuan had meant.

“That being said, to go or not to go, it’s your call. I’ll just try my best to help

you,” Tang Shiya said.

What she said seemed quite meaningful, but she looked normal, as if she

meant nothing special.

“If I don’t go, won’t I disappoint them?” Jiang Chen said, smiling.

“So, you’ll go?”

“Yeah, I never flinch.”

Jiang Chen was eager to see what was waiting for him in the banquet.

The mere thought of the possible dangers and barriers put him excited.
