Chapter 1380 - Xia Clan The

Chapter 1380 Xia Clan The

“It would be an honor for me.”

Jiang Chen didn’t think much about this, and he smiled cordially, before he led Ao Yue upstairs.

“Even if you haven’t been to the Martial Field, it seems as if the Sovereign Road is quite outstanding.”

It was Jiang Chen who said these words, not Ao Yue, even though Jiang Chen’s ranking as a Sacred Lord had already surpassed Ao Yue’s.

However, Jiang Chen knew that in the Bloody Sea Realm, Ao Yue always kept her human form, which meant that she had only used around two-tenths of her power.

“That’s right, all the people from my clan who go to the Martial Field are quite outstanding.”

Ao Yue wasn’t interested in pursuing this subject, and, instead, she raised a question, “Will you fight over the entrances tomorrow?”

“Of course!” Jiang Chen nodded without the least bit of hesitation. He didn’t come to the Divine Martial Arts Realm to fight, but since they had established differences between entrances, then it went without saying that he was obligated to fight in order to get the best one.

This was especially the case since Jiang Chen had already understood the three ranks’ division, and he felt like he must raise his realm level to the intermediate stage.

“I hope that I won’t run across you.”

Ao Yue also had the same idea. She wanted to enter through the best entrance.

Jiang Chen pondered Ao Yue’s words for a long time, and, in the end, he ascertained that she hadn’t stated such words because she was afraid that she would end up defeated if she ran across him.

“Well?”

All of a sudden, Ao Yue stopped in her tracks and raised her head, wearing a grave look.

Two pairs of ardent gazes met in midair, and each of them was filled with hostility.

When Jiang Chen followed Ao Yue’s gaze, he saw Miss Bai from upstairs.

Both women ended up unknowingly revealing a hostile look, before quickly hiding it at the same time.

“What? Are you two acquainted?” Jiang Chen asked in confusion.

“We aren’t acquainted, but I know what she is. I didn’t expect that the three great factions would make such a concession. It seems as if the Xuanhuan Great Realm is determined to become united in order to face the Blood Clan.”

Ao Yue sighed with emotion, and, when she noticed Jiang Chen’s confused look, she said in a low voice, “She’s a monster.”

She said monster, not a half-monster, but a true monster.

Such simple words made Jiang Chen’s heart shudder.

This wasn’t the Bloody Sea Realm, but one of the Nine Realms, and all intelligent monsters were strictly prohibited from entering, while anyone who dared to do so would be killed mercilessly.

It was unimaginable that not only had a monster come to the Divine Martial Arts Realm, but it had gotten a Young Sovereign’s qualifications.

It was more difficult for Jiang Chen to accept this matter than for Ao Yue, as his soul was from 500 years ago, and he still considered the Monster Clan his greatest enemy.

But Jiang Chen quickly recalled Whitey, and he felt like this was probably a good thing. The Monster Clan could be a rare helper with their great military power.

“What a horrid aura.” Ao Yue averted her gaze, while an irritated look was still plastered on her face.

Upon witnessing this, Jiang Chen recalled the grudges between the Monster and Dragon Clans.

At first, monsters had assumed that they weren’t any different than dragons, since they were both all-powerful beings with high intelligence. As a matter of fact, this was really the case, because, if one ignored the Dragon Clan’s mysteries, one would find out that both races were quite similar.

But the Dragon Clan had always treated monsters disdainfully and deemed them insignificant worms.

These grudges had persisted for several thousand years, and while the Monster Clan mocked dragons and considered them a species that thought too much of itself, the Dragon Clan considered monsters an inferior species.

Miss Bai didn’t know Ao Yue, but she still had an instinctive hostility toward her.

Luckily, it was fortunate that both people had good self-control and didn’t start fighting.

All of a sudden, Jiang Chen got slightly curious about Miss Bai’s real body and he recalled their previous conversation. He realized that he hadn’t noticed any clues about her identity.

“Tomorrow, at daybreak, everyone should head off to Shattered Sky Stream.”

At this moment, a muffled, old voice reverberated throughout the tower. At nearly the same time, the map on everyone’s cards went through a transformation.

“So, let’s rest and meet up in the morning.”

Jiang Chen and Ao Yue went back to their rooms, as did most other people, since they were all aware that a great battle was awaiting them the next day.

They all could take advantage of the night to hone their power and prepare themselves well.

“If Yuan Tianxiao is at the end of the third-rank group, then I’m surely not a match for the first-rank people. As for the second rank, I won’t give any consideration to that for now.”

Jiang Chen started analyzing everything earnestly in his room.

The three ranks included only Martial Emperors. Martial Saints weren’t counted on it.

Moreover, as Jiang Chen used Yuan Tianxiao to make his comparisons, he realized that there was still a Martial Emperor Realm enemy that he couldn’t defeat. This would be the case as long as the Divine Martial Arts Realm’s people were trying to mystify everything deliberately.

Jiang Chen didn’t feel thwarted by this matter. In contrast, he felt even more motivated. He had previously been able to easily and instantly kill apex Martial Emperors, which had made him assume that his realm power’s promotion wasn’t essential.

…..

The next morning, as the sky was barely getting light, people started leaving the tower and heading off to the Shattered Sky Stream.

Jiang Chen, Xia Houjie, and Ao Yue, traveled together. On the way, they were the recipients of many envious gazes. They soon managed to reach the Shattered Sky Stream, which wasn’t far away from Xuanwu City.

The stream was deep in the mountains, and, as they got close to it, the sound of the flowing water rivaled the sound of 10,000 beasts galloping together.

“What a magnificent and unprecedented event.” Xia Houjie looked at the people in the sky with excitement apparent in his face.

It wasn’t only the tower’s people who were here, as there were other Young Sovereigns from the other two great factions, the Sovereign Spirit Palace and the Xia Clan.

Jiang Chen was quite familiar with those two factions. We have run into the Sovereign Spirit Palace often, as for the Xia Clan, it was an imperial dynasty.

Any royal faction founded in another planes’ worlds originated from the Xia Clan, and if one wanted to found a royal faction, one must have the Xia Clan’s bloodline.

For example, the Xia Dynasty in the Nine Heavens Realm’s Fire Field was one, as was the Flying Dragon Dynasty in the True Force Realm.

“Your highness the princess.”

As the group was flying, many youthful experts of the Dragon Clan rode forward and greeted Ao Yue one after the other.

Such a matter attracted many stares.

“Is that the Golden Dragon Clan’s ninth princess? Her human form is quite pretty.”

“You are only flirting by speaking in such a frivolous way. Her big brothers and sisters all started the Sovereign Road trial in the Martial Field.”

“Who is the person next to her? That’s a new face.”

“It’s the Xia family’s Xia Houjie, and he’s quite mediocre. As for the other person next to him, I don’t know him.”

Xia Houjie and Jiang Chen ended up facing many jealous and envious gazes due to Ao Yue.

Xia Houjie felt great pressure weighing upon his shoulders, and he wasn’t at ease like Jiang Chen.

“They will quickly get into trouble.”

The Sleeping Young Master and his friends were keeping track of Jiang Chen’s group from behind.

The Sleeping Young Master chuckled softly when he witnessed Jiang Chen ending up the center of attention, and his friends approved of his claim.

“Ninth princess, didn’t my Xia Clan treat you well?”

Sure enough, a youth clad in an official robe who was escorted by other people came toward Ao Yue.

“After I got news about this matter, I have already executed everyone who got in contact with the ninth princess.”

Such words made the expressions of Jiang Chen and Ao Yue change drastically.

It was the Xia Clan that had provided Ao Yue with her qualifications as a Young Sovereign, but she had only gone to the Martial God Palace’s camp for Jiang Chen. She didn’t expect that she would end up harming so many innocent people.

“It was nothing to do with those people. It was just because I had friends in this camp, and I wanted to travel with them.” An infuriated look appeared on Ao Yue’s face as she spoke with displeasure.

“A friend? Is it him?”

The youth looked at Xia Houjie, and he felt like it couldn’t be him. Then he turned to look at Jiang Chen. But he still wasn’t sure about this matter.

In his opinion, anyone who could become Ao Yue’s friend should be at least someone from the second-rank group.

“It’s me,” Jiang Chen replied forcefully without hiding the hate apparent in his eyes. Jiang Chen wouldn’t treat someone well who held human lives in contempt, and who would willfully slaughter the innocent.

“Well?”

When the youth witnessed Jiang Chen’s current look, he was dumbfounded and took a while returning to his senses. But an angry look gradually appeared on his face, while a royal aura erupted out of him.

The people next to the youth didn’t hide their hostility, and they were only waiting for the youth’s commands.
