Chapter 988: To Settle with You

The three Ancient tribes on the king level had all arrived. Their leaders were very young. The leader of the Holy Wings was a woman whose blood was extremely pure. The holy wings on her back were pure white. Her oval face was not any bigger than the palm of a hand. Her features were perfect. Standing magnificently in her Holy Wings, she was as pretty as a goddess.

“Let’s get down to business. We will head for the forbidden land in a few days. You guys can go with us, but you should help,” Yin Ye said.

“Sure. Certainly.” The humans agreed one after another. It sounded fair to them.

“Has the Ancient Race disclosed the secret of the Title Stele?” Someone asked out of curiosity.

“Everything in the world follows certain laws. The Title Stele was established by a powerful man, but it also follows certain laws.”

“As long as we keep understanding the laws following their logic, of course we will finally get the information we want.” The female Holy Wings leader answered in a cold voice.

“Wow! The Ancient Race is really smart. Some strong people from the Eighth Realm also tried to disclose the secret of the Title Palace, but even they got nowhere in the end. They lost many companions in the Title Palace.” Miss Sunshine shouted, exaggerating as usual.

The female Holy Wings leader smiled. She really enjoyed such compliments. Then Miss Sunshine worked even harder to curry favor with her, calling her elder sister and on and on.

“The Title Stele can lead the title winners to their inheritances. So, have some of you won titles before?” Yin Ye asked.

Jiang Chen noticed that he had met some of the people sitting opposite in the Title Battle. They told the Ancient Race about the instructions concerning their inheritances to get on the Ancient Race’s good side.

“Something interesting has just occurred to me. A man came to befriend me, claiming he had a title. However, it turned out to be a title without even one golden word. I slapped him so hard in his face that his teeth snapped off. This person was ridiculous. He really overestimated himself,” Yin Ye said.

“Some people just don’t know who they are.” Miss Sunshine added.

“Ha, ha, ha, exactly. You’re right.” Yin Ye was very happy with her remark. He had actually said this to mock Jiang Chen. Miss Sunshine’s response was exactly what he wanted to hear. However, Miss Sunshine did not seem to have realized that. She seemed quite naive.

He Shou cast Jiang Chen a guilty look. The latter patted him on the shoulder, telling him to take it easy.

Shaking his head, He Shou went on drinking silently. He and Jiang Chen were quite alike, but he was not as free as Jiang Chen. He always felt he was restrained by something. That was why he was so unhappy.

“Let’s see. What title is that? Sword Practitioner or what?” Yin Ye went on telling his story.

Jiang Chen, who had not cared a fig about what Yin Ye was saying, suddenly gave him a sharp look. Sword Practitioner was the title Li Bai got back then.

“In the end that guy left in a disgraceful manner. He didn’t even have the nerve to say anything,” Yin Ye said.

“Is it Li Bai from the Heaven Martial Arts Club of Wing Prefecture? I saw him when I came here. He was covering his mouth, almost unable to speak.” Someone in the crowd said.

“Because he couldn’t find his teeth in the end. He certainly couldn’t speak in that condition,” Yin Ye said, laughing. He thought what he had said was funny, but his remark only evoked some nervous laughter.

Jiang Chen wanted to do something, but he told himself to hold his temper, because otherwise Li Bai might be affected.

The Silver Blood and the Holy Wings kept boasting about themselves, while the people sitting down with them kept currying favor. The atmosphere was almost jolly.

However, the Ancient Apes were quite silent. They would only cut in when they were talking about the forbidden land.

“In my opinion, now that we all want treasures, why are you behaving so aloof? Why are you sitting there so silently?” Yin Ye raised an embarrassing question, not hiding his hostility at all. He was probably disappointed at Jiang Chen’s inaction, so he was trying to pick another fight.

“The Genuine Heaven Religious Sect is collaborating with you. Without my Dark Armor Army, you won’t even be able to go to the forbidden land,” He Shou said coldly, unable to put up with Yin Ye anymore.

The three Ancient tribes all looked over at him. None of them looked happy.

“He Shou, shut up!” Xiao Chengming scolded.

“Did I say something wrong?” He Shou asked.

“Apprentice Elder Brother He Shou, you are drunk. Elder Brother Yin Ye wasn’t talking about you,” Miss Sunshine said.

He Shou was going to refute her, but Xing Yue stopped him.

“It’s true the Genuine Heaven Religious Sect is collaborating with us, but who is this man? Does he have anything to do with you? Why is he sitting here?” The female Holy Wings asked, looking at Jiang Chen.

“Yeah. How thick-skinned,” Yin Ye said in a sarcastic tone.

He Shou was going to say Jiang Chen was a friend he had invited over. However, Jiang Chen beat him to it. He said, “Don’t get me wrong. I’ve never expected to find any treasures through you.”

“So why are you here?” Yin Ye answered in a scornful tone.

Under everyone’s gazes, Jiang Chen said loudly and clearly, “To settle with you.” He stood up as he spoke, looking toward the female Holy Wings.

“You keep saying how great the Ancient Race is. Okay, so there is something I want to ask you. Why did your emperors use an ambush in a fight in the Three Middle Realms? And then, even so, two Ancients were killed in the end.”

The Holy Wings were certainly irritated. The others did not feel comfortable either. It was not something they could be proud of. They certainly did not want to talk about it.

“Does it have anything to do with you? Are you insulting us?” Yin Ye demanded in an angry tone. The emperor of the Silver Blood was among the five Ancient tribes that had attacked.

“He Shou! Take your man away. He is mad!” Xiao Chengming said, irritated.

“Shut up! You don’t deserve to talk to me.” Jiang Chen kicked the table away. Liquor from the table splashed everywhere.

“You are meddling in others’ business. That’s unbelievable. You’d better stay out of this!”

He had been unhappy with this man for a long time, so he was not polite at all.

“How dare you! And who are you? How dare you run amok here?” Xing Yue asked in a cold voice.

“Because Jiang Qingyu is my father. Is that enough?” Throwing her a glance, Jiang Chen told them who he was.

“What?” The atmosphere in the room was immediately charged with tension. So Jiang Chen had never liked the Ancient Race, and he had come here to seek revenge?

“Even though…”

“I’m here to settle the grudges between the Ancient Race and me. Why did you jump out so eagerly to stop me? What? Are the Ancient Race your parents? Why are you defending them to such an extent? Don’t forget you are humans too.” Jiang Chen rebuked them severely as he vented his anger.

“Your father is Jiang Qingyu? He killed two king-level emperors. It’s a severe crime…”

Miss Sunshine thought she had found a smart excuse. “You don’t get to say how different races should treat each other. Who are you? Why should you be the one that judges what is right and what is wrong and establish a behavior code?”

Jiang Chen cut in, slapping her across her pretty face.

“Elder brother, elder sister, remember your dignity as a human?”

“You!” Seeing him slap their sibling disciple, those from the Genuine Heaven Religious Sect flew into a rage. “You are going too far!”

Xiao Chengming found a proper excuse to attack.

However, at this moment, a golden stick flew over and fell between them, so that they could not start a fight.
