The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 81
The commotion of the curse sounded as more and more sorrowful heirs gathered.
“Everything is quiet, quiet. The heir of the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise are here. They are all heirs of the four great dukes, and leaders of all of us. We must have a plan to fight the Long Family manipulating the contest. Otherwise, when we leave within a month, we will all lose the rank of a duke!”
“Yes, we must unite and cannot let them do what they want.”
"That's right. We don't want to form a faction, but don't force us into the path of a miserable disaster!”
The heir of the White Tiger, Bai Zhanyun, and the heir of the Black Tortoise, Yi Tiachu, were both elected representatives.
“Everything, even though I am one of the heirs of the four grand dukes, I also think that everyone can see the prospect of dukes within the kingdom in the future will definitely change because of one person.”
Bai Zhanyun spoke loudly as his gaze fell on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's?
“Brother Jiang Chen, I, Bai Zhanyun, will only surrender to you.” Bai Zhanyun had been thwarted by Jiang Chen several times, but was handed over well.
“Brother Jiang Chen, I, Yi Taichu, also succumbed to you.” The heir of the Black Tortoise, Yi Taichu, also nodded.
“Brother Jiang Chen, you have firmly suppressed the heir of Soaring Dragon in your challenge to the first rank duke. We also succumb to you, please give us some pointers.”
Jiang Chen was someone who could be persuaded by reason, but not by force.
“Everyone, I, Jiang Chen, am not someone who issues orders. However, my guess is that the green winged sword bird must be at the third level. Even with the many methods Big Brother and Little Sister Long had, they still did not dare to rise to the fourth level. Therefore, no matter whether they want to or not, the last fight must have happened at the third level.”
“The strategy that everyone has chosen is correct. Right now, the only advice I have for you is to form and hunt in teams. Moving alone will force you to be very passive in the third level.”
This was all Jiang Chen could say.
“Brother Jiang Chen, does this mean we still have hope of completing this mission?”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, “I can only say that you will have a little hope when you form a team. However, if everyone has their own selfish motives, then it will be difficult to say it.”
Right, team form, team form!
“I want to form a team, who wants to be near me?”
“Brother Jiang Chen, are you willing to form a team with us?”
“If you don't want the Long Family to take revenge on you or don't want to get caught in the crossfire, the best option is to stay away from me.”
Jiang Chen was telling the truth. The brothers had done so many things, and he would never believe it if there was not the slightest evil plan against him in all of this.
Of course, on the other hand, Jiang Chen had always preferred to come and go freely and naturally did not wish to move along with the other heirs.
After he finished speaking, Jiang Chen jumped up with both feet and his figure disappeared in the darkness.
No matter what evil plans were planned by brother and sister, Jiang Chen decided to overcome the change of events using one basic principle. He wanted to complete his mission first before thinking about anything else.
The plan was made, Jiang Chen headed straight for the heart of the third level.
After breaking through roughly fifteen to twenty kilometers, Jiang Chen suddenly halted his steps and his nose twitched a few times.
Jiang Chen grasped a bewildering familiarity in the sign of a fading presence going in and out.
What is this presence?
He sniffed carefully, but got nothing.
At this moment, Jiang Chen's disciple suddenly contracted as his “God” eyes suddenly sent out a beam of concentrated light. It swept through a small forest of rocks and a flock of sword birds. There were three or four people leading, and their foreheads all emitted a faint silvery light.
“Silver winged sword cage?”
Jiang Chen threw away all those random thoughts and increased his speed to the extreme, shooting towards that flock of sword birds.
This was the first time he had seen a flock of sword birds since entering the Boundless Catacombs.
There were about forty or fifty sword birds in this flock, with four silver-winged sword birds leading the way. They originally flew in another direction, but suddenly turned around and flew towards Jiang Chen.
As Jiang Chen's body approached, several figures suddenly shot out from a corner right opposite him. They split in several directions and blocked the path of the swordbird herd.
“Don't let this fat target get out of our hands, come on!”
The three figures that appeared all attacked the sword bird.
How could Jiang Chen let such a huge opportunity pass him by? His body leaped out as he ran, that nameless sword splitting the air!
It was as if a vast ocean was flowing backwards, as if the Milky Way was hanging upside down!
Second form of “Large Ocean Flow Breaker” – Wave Breaker!
The powerful sword aura turned into a tempestuous wave and a terrifying wave, sweeping across a large number of sword birds.
Jiang Chen reached out his hand and grabbed it with a smooth motion, and two silver pearls immediately landed in his hand. His sleeves waved again, and he carried nine spirit pearls into his sack.
The other three people also divided the spirit pearls at the fastest speed.
“Jiang Chen, you profited from the hard efforts of others! We have painstakingly waited here and expelled this flock of sword birds, but you have obtained the greatest advantage.”
One of the heirs was somewhat reluctant to accept this outcome.
Although the other two did not make a sound, they watched Jiang Chen like a tiger staring at its prey greedily.
Jiang Chen had actually benefited the most at the moment. Two silver spirit pearls and nine green spirit pearls, it was equivalent to obtaining 29 spirit pearls in a single blow.
Add these 29 pearls to the 57 green spirit pearls he obtained earlier, and it produced 86 pearls. He now only had 14 more pearls left to complete his mission.
"Huh. If I don't move, are you sure you'll keep all these swordbirds here?” Jiang Chen laughed coldly and raised his legs, about to leave.
If he did not move now, most likely most of these sword birds would have escaped. After all, the speed of the sword bird was extremely fast, and they were in the dark to boot. These three people could only besiege three directions, and this herd came hurtling towards Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen did not move, they would only be able to nurture a few sword birds.
“Jiang Chen, leave behind the silver spirit pearl, you can take the green one.”
“Ya, we will give you a little advantage, but don't be too greedy.”
“This is our advantage!”
“Come and get if you have the skills for it.” Jiang Chen did not want to chat and directly jumped into the boundless darkness. Jiang Chen did not plan to brainstorm with a group of people who did not understand the concept of gratitude.
With Jiang Chen's speed, the three of them would naturally not be able to make Jiang Chen stay if he wanted to leave.
In a secluded corner on the third level, four figures were meeting.
One of them asked in a hoarse voice, “There is news about Jiang Chen?”
“Bos, the boy has hidden himself well, but he has finally shown himself in the last few days. With the cooperation of Long brothers, everything went according to plan.”
“Mm. I wonder what the boy did to himself in this kind of situation?
“According to the intelligence two days ago, the child has collected half or more of the required green spirit pearls.”
"Half? It seemed like this child had some ability to be able to hunt so many green spirit pearls under these circumstances. There seems to be a reason for the Duke of Soaring Dragon to pay us double.”
“Heh heh, of course there is a reason. Otherwise, with the current strength of the Long brothers, what do they need for us?”
“Mm. If the child collects enough spirit pearls before reaching this area, then our plans must be changed.”
“Mm. It seems to need to change. We have other plans anyway.”
“Number three, you're smarter, go. Since he didn't want to come to this area, lure him here. Continue according to our plan.”
"Yes Boss!"
“Number two, number four, prepare yourself. If you want to act, do something good. Make sure this child does not take the slightest precaution.”
“Don't worry, with our four brothers moving together and plotting against Jiang Chen unwittingly, how can we deserve our reputation as the Hidden Hand if we can't get rid of this child?”
As Jiang Chen penetrated deeper into the third level, he began to hunt more sword birds.
“It looks like I can collect quite a lot of green spirit pearls without having to go to the periphery of the third level.” Jiang Chen counted and felt that he would be able to complete his mission in half another day at this kind of speed.
As Jiang Chen was pondering, one of his eyelids suddenly twitched, sending out a warning sign. “Who is it, let's get out! What are you doing secretly?”
Jiang Chen deployed his “God” eyes in the darkness and saw an heir running out from behind the stone shards.
“Brother Jiang Chen, is that really you?” A surprised and happy expression emanated from his eyes as he looked at Jiang Chen.
"You?" Jiang Chen thought this person looked familiar, but could not remember his name.
“I Ouyang Ping from the rank of a Sunchaser. Brother Jiang Chen, I have been looking for you up to this level. Fatty Xuan and Hubing Yue had formed a team with a group of heirs and were in conflict with several other heirs. They had received quite a big blow. I was friends with Fatty Xuan and with my strength, I couldn't help at all, so I came out frantically looking for you.”
In his memories, this Ouyang Ping seemed to have a slight friendship with Fatty Xuan.
"Where are they? Fooling!"
Fatty Xuan and Hubing Yue were Jiang Chen's only companions. He could not sit still and ignore everything related to them.
At the same time, he felt it was strange. With the power of Hubing Yue, who else could threaten him other than the heirs of the four grand dukes?
“Could it be the heir of the four grand dukes?”
Ouyang Ping took the lead while Jiang Chen followed behind, but he did not ask any further questions. It was not easy for Ouyang Ping to come bring this message to him.
After roughly fifteen minutes, the two passed through a piece of marshland, with a patch of thorns and thorn grass in front of him.
“They passed through this thorny and thorny area.”
Jiang Chen nodded, “Lead the way.”
After passing through thorns and thistles, they arrived at a vast meadow. The surroundings all consist of creepy, shiny, slippery, and wet cliff walls. The jagged and strangely shaped rocks in front looked extremely sinister.
“Brother Jiang Chen, in front only.”
Jiang Chen nodded and suddenly asked, “Ouyang Ping, how many meridians of qi are you actually now?”
“Heh heh, my prospects are not so good, I am only at six meridians true qi, almost the same as Fatty Xuan.”
"Oh!" Jiang Chen thought of something and nodded.
“Brother Chen, you finally came!”
Jiang Chen followed the voice and saw Fatty Xuan sitting miserably on the rocky wall. His face was pale and his breathing heavy. He seems to have suffered injuries.
Hubing Yue was not so rich either. He sat cross-legged beside Fatty Xuan, and revealed a hint of excitement upon seeing Jiang Chen's arrival.
“Fat, what happened?” Jiang Chen frowned. “You injured?”
Fatty Xuan cursed desperately, “That's Yan Yiming and those bastards. Shit, he oppressed us because he has the strength in numbers. Luckily I, who was fat, had thick skin and flesh.”
“Are you seriously injured?” Jiang Chen took out two Heavenly Karma Pills.
“Slight internal injuries. It's lucky I managed to break through six meridians of true qi or I might not be able to withstand it.” Complain the Fat.
Jiang Chen's arm halted faintly in thin air, but he still flicked his finger, sending out the two pills. “This is the latest healing elixir perfected by the Hall of Healing.”
“Brother Chen is the best!”
Fatty Xuan was suffused with a smile.
