“Thanks. However, you’re hurt pretty bad, it’s best that you lay-low and cultivate for a while.” Jiang Chen said.

Yu Chenglong was slightly shocked,

“Oh? You’re able to spot my injury. Hmmm… it seems your improvement is magnificent, you even managed to kill the Jiang Brothers.”

“I’m just lucky.” Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile.

“To kill them requires more than just luck. But now, you need to be wary of Xiao Qinglong. The Jiang Brothers are one of his guys, he’ll surely not let you off since you killed them. Although the Profound Connection Divine Palace does not restrict disciples from killing each other, it’s rare to have disciples getting killed during spars. Xiao Qinglong is dead set on killing you since you’ve killed the Jiang Brothers, nobody will be able to stop him, you have to be extra careful.” Yu Chenglong advised.

“Jiang Chen shall heed your words.”

“Three years from now, a ranking battle will happen in the outer-palace, it’s a battle between newcomers and seniors, over 5000 disciples of the outer-palace will join. You’re extremely talented even amongst the seniors since you’re able to kill the Jiang Brothers, without a doubt. You’ll get great rewards if you get a good rank. The Profound Connection Divine Palace is never stingy when it comes to powerful, talented prodigies. The rewards this time around are rumoured to be different from the previous ones. Of course, there are the three dragons, however, I won’t be joining it this time. I hope you’ll get a good result, but never fight against Xiao Qinglong if the situation allows, he’s stronger than me.” Yu Chenglong whispered.

Jiang Chen felt pretty close with him as they fought enemies even before he entered the Profound Connection Divine Palace; they’ve been through hardships together.

“Why would you give up on such a good opportunity?” Jiang Chen frowned.

“Because I have my own choice. Someone needed me..” Yu Chenglong said.

“Brother Yu, tell me if you have difficulties, I will surely help if there’s anything I can do to help.” Jiang Chen said.

“It’s nothing much… it’s fine, you won’t be able to help me even if I told you.” Yu Chenglong smiled bitterly and shook his head as he left.

Jiang Chen didn’t pursue further as everyone had their own secret, he did not need to know what Yu Chenglong was thinking.

The next day, Jiang Chen and Gu Maolu went to the Spectre Valley. 1000 crystals were needed to stay in this place for a day, an extravagant price. Guys like Donghuang Tai’a would not want to spend that kind of amount just to enter the Specter Valley after spending 10 years in the Heavenly Dragon Prison.

The Spectre Valley was covered with mist and fog, the place was quiet and serene. Without even entering the place, the refreshing feel of the Spectre Valley had already penetrated one’s body.

“Such a great spiritualistic realm that has the love of the world, one would certainly gain some great enlightenments if one were to meditate here.” Jiang Chen nodded and complimented.

“1000 Heavenly Flame Crystals for a day, damn it. Normally I am not willing to come here to cultivate. Plus, a few days of silent meditation and cultivation may not give me any new enlightenments, at least 8-10 years would be needed and that’s at least a few million crystals. My heart burns just from thinking of it.” Gu Maolu

“The crystals I have are enough for me to cultivate here for 10 years, let’s just stay here for 3 years until the competition, let’s see whether I get any enlightenment.” Jiang Chen said.

“Agreed, you’ll surely get a good result in that ranking tournament, haha. I can’t help but be amazed by you after you’ve killed the Jiang Brothers, you should be in the top 100. However, you have to be careful, Xiao Qinglong already said that he’ll have you pay for blood.”

“Xiao Qinglong? I will not hold back if he dares to come to me.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“Senior Brother Yu Chenglong is a pity, he should show what he got, and rumours have it that the reward this round is pretty generous, yet he resolutely gave it up.” Gu Maolu sighed, feeling pity for Yu Chenglong.

“Could it be that he has an unspeakable hardship?” Jiang Chen frowned.

“That’s not true… 100 years ago, Brother Yu saved a girl in a mountain outside of Profound Connection Divine Palace. She’s exceptionally pretty, however, not many have seen her, some even said that Yu Chenglong had hidden her as a concubine although they do not know the hardship he faced. He was obsessed with her after he saved her. His infatuation with her has even caused him to delay his cultivation until now. That’s also the reason why he’s still in the outer-palace. It’s rumoured that the girl is extremely talented but she’s unlucky with her physique, and Yu Chenglong used tremendous effort to save and cure her. However, the girl’s heart is with someone else, everyone knows it, yet he wouldn’t give up. I’ve met the girl before, her name is Jiang Zhu, extremely gorgeous, one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever seen. I wonder what kind of guy would make her fall this hard.” Gu Maolu said with a serious expression.

“Jiang Zhu…” Jiang Chen murmured with a heavy expression in his eyes.

“Let’s hope so, pray that all couples will be happy together forever, being forceful won’t result in happiness, I hope Yu Chenglong would understand that.” Jiang Chen shook his head, leaving useless thought aside.

“Some guys are just stubborn. Yu Chenglong is peerless in terms of cultivation but there are also the other two dragons. Plus, he was injured by Xiao Qinglong earlier and he’ll not join the ranking battle, the excitement of the battle is reduced by a large margin, the top-1 will be born between the two remaining dragons.” Gu Maolu said.

“It’ll be different with me there.” Jiang Chen smiled confidently.

“I will surely cheer for you if you’re able to beat the dragons. Hahaha.”

Gu Maolu laughed and a thought came to his mind, about Hun Shaoqian, that guy who died, was he really killed by an Hierarch expert?
