The appearance of Jiang Chen gave Lin Feng and Zhang Hu another shock.
Lin Feng was still okay.
He was convinced that Jiang Chen wouldn’t dare act rashly, so although he was internally panicked, his expression remained calm.
Zhang Hu, on the other hand, was scared and considering whether to kneel down and speak.
Seeing someone who could stand up for him, Xiaobai smirked and turned to tattle: “Eldest Senior Brother, they were speaking ill of you!”
“Is that so?” Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
“Absolutely not!”
Zhang Hu’s head shook, “We were just discussing Eldest Senior Brother’s heroic victory over the true disciples of the other peaks! We were admiring Eldest Senior Brother’s wisdom and martial prowess!”
Jiang Chen didn’t respond but looked at Lin Feng.
But how could Lin Feng submit? He just turned his head away.“Sixth Senior Brother, you are new here and don’t understand how to survive in Ninth Peak! Confronting Eldest Senior Brother head-on will get you beaten badly!” Zhang Hu whispered in persuasion.
“Hmph.”
Lin Feng still didn’t respond.
Seeing Zhang Hu so sensible, Jiang Chen signalled for him to leave first.
This made Zhang Hu feel like he had been pardoned, yet he hesitated.
He had just been discussing with Lin Feng how to deal with Jiang Chen! Running away now seemed too disloyal!
“Since you want to accompany him, then stay together.”
Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate, the Flame Blood Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed out a Sword Qi.
This Sword Qi was only a zhang wide, and although it was red, it wasn’t very fast, nor was it very powerful.
With the realms of Lin Feng and Zhang Hu, they should be able to dodge it if they try their best.
It wasn’t that he was soft-hearted, but he knew that even if he really went all out, he wouldn’t be able to kill Lin Feng and unexpected situations could arise.
Moreover, now that Lin Feng had just become a disciple and the plot was finally back on track, it was better not to get carried away.
But an unexpected scene occurred.
“Roar!!”
Xiaobai suddenly roared, the deafening sound waves trembling the air.
Perhaps intimidated by its demon aura and Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi, Lin Feng and Zhang Hu didn’t choose to run away immediately but were stunned!
Only when the Sword Qi was right in front of them did they react, trying to dodge but it was too late.
In the end, the Sword Qi accurately swept across their bodies, leaving bloody wounds and forcing them to retreat several steps.
And with that retreat… Both of them fell off the cliff while screaming.
“Ah!!”
Jiang Chen frowned and approached the edge to look down.
The cliff was hundreds of zhang from the ground, and although Lin Feng and Zhang Hu were Core Formation cultivators, falling from such a height would not kill them but would still cause serious injuries.
At the same time, there was a noise behind him.
Jiang Chen turned his head and saw a Ninth Peak disciple standing there, looking at him with a horrified face.
Without a doubt, t was definitely him who had knocked the two fellow disciples off the cliff in the eyes of this Ninth Peak disciple.
“Well.”
He shrugged helplessly.
This familiar feeling and coincidence made him instantly understand that it was definitely his villain halo at work again.
Still, he never expected this coincidence to be so harsh that even Lin Feng, the Son of Destiny, was affected.
“You’re not seeing things, I just did that. Go ahead and snitch,” Jiang Chen waved to his fellow sect member.
Upon hearing this, the witness indeed ran off.
Xiaobai reverted to its original form while feeling somewhat guilty, “I just wanted to scare them, I didn’t expect…”
Jiang Chen didn’t respond, just remained silent.
“Did I cause trouble?” Xiaobai asked again.
“Yes, you caused big trouble. You knocked two fellow disciples off the cliff, causing serious injuries, and one of them was just a new true disciple. According to the sect rules, I might be expelled from the sect,” Jiang Chen sighed.
“What? Is it that serious?”
Xiaobai was shocked, “Then… should I go explain to the Peak Master? Say it was an accident? At worst, let her punish me?”
“Explain?” Jiang Chen scoffed with disdain.
Everyone knows Xiaobai obeys him. What’s the use of explaining?
From the situation just now, not to mention Xiao Hongyi, even Lin Feng and Zhang Hu, the two involved, would only think he did it on purpose.
“Should we go down and save them? Maybe that could lessen our guilt?” Xiaobai was getting anxious.
“No need.”
Jiang Chen grinned, “Silly tiger, do you believe I have the power of prophecy?”
Xiaobai was confused.
In such a situation, Jiang Chen still had the mood to joke?
“Within three breaths, someone will shout my name.”
Jiang Chen was extremely confident.
Of course, Xiaobai didn’t believe it.
But…
“Jiang Chen!!” A roaring voice suddenly erupted.
Xiaobai was startled and quickly looked towards the source.
Its pupils shrank.
It saw an elder appearing behind them, over fifty years old, with temples graying.
This elder was wearing the white robe of a Jiuyan Sect elder, and he was Zhang Hu’s master, the Ninth Peak Great Elder.
And behind the Great Elder was a cowering Ninth Peak disciple, the very witness from before!
Xiaobai was shocked!
But what shocked Xiaobai even more was yet to come!
“You’re not qualified to punish me. Master is in seclusion, and Lin Feng and Zhang Hu have fallen the Ninth Peak cliff. This means Li Fadu should be appearing right about now, right?” Jiang Chen said while looking at the Great Elder.
His tone was still calm, simply analyzing the situation.
The Great Elder was immediately furious.
In his view, this was Jiang Chen’s unrepentant behavior!
He had no realization of the grave mistake he had made. Just as he was about to capture Jiang Chen.
“Swoosh—”
A sharp sword cry suddenly rang out.
Accompanied by a sky-piercing sword light, a figure soared up from the bottom of the cliff on a sword.
Soon, everyone saw that it was Li Fadu, the acting head of the Hall of Enforcement!
At this moment, Li Fadu was flying with his sword, holding the unconscious Lin Feng and Zhang Hu in his left and right hands.
From their injuries, they were undoubtedly seriously injured.
Especially Zhang Hu, whose aura was unstable and likely had damaged his Core Formation!
Li Fadu’s voice thundered as he jumped down from the silver sword,
“Jiang Chen!! You dare to harm your fellow disciples? If I hadn’t happened to pass by and fed Zhang Hu a Core Formation protection pill, his Core Formation would have shattered by now, and he might have even lost his life!”
Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Jiang Chen was well aware that although Li Fadu was not an upper four realm cultivator, he had achieved Major Achievement in the Way of the Sword and could fly with his sword.
“If I’m not mistaken, Elder Li must have sent a message to the Hall of Enforcement on his way here, informing the Sect Master about this matter, right?” Jiang Chen asked again.
“Hmph, it’s too late to be afraid now!”
Li Fadu sneered, “Lately, you’ve been causing trouble in the Ninth Peak and even the entire Jiuyan Sect while the Peak Master is in seclusion. Do you think no one can deal with you?”
This statement was tantamount to an indirect admission.
Jiang Chen shrugged again, still looking indifferent.
He looked towards the direction of the main peak while saying, “The Sect Master has always wanted to prove himself. Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon.”
“I am here to punish the rebellious disciple on behalf of my Junior Sister!”
As expected, Sect Master Gu Changqing appeared in the sky, his green robe fluttering in the wind.
“Hmm, you want to take me back to the main peak to face punishment?” Jiang Chen looked up and asked.
“Of course!” Gu Changqing nodded.
“Haha!” Jiang Chen immediately laughed out loud.
He turned to Xiaobai, who was standing there dumbfounded, and said, “Xiaobai, can you see? Your Eldest Senior Brother have the power of prophecy!”
Xiaobai didn’t respond, just remained silent.
Everything was unfolding exactly as Jiang Chen had said.
Right now, it should be shocked by Jiang Chen’s ‘prophecy.’
But why… could it only feel sadness?
And why, looking at the laughing Jiang Chen, did it feel as if its chest was blocked by a huge stone, making it hard to breathe and even giving it an urge to cry?
“Come with me!” Gu Changqing called from the sky.
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a gust of spiritual power appeared, sweeping up Jiang Chen and floating him towards the direction of the main peak.
“Me too! I was involved in this! Take me with you!” Xiaobai shouted urgently.
Its voice was loud, but no one paid any attention to Xiaobai.
In such a situation, it felt as if everyone only wanted to punish Jiang Chen alone…
“This isn’t fair!!” Xiaobai shouted to the sky, its voice breaking into a cry.
“Xiaobai, nothing was ever fair to begin with,” Jiang Chen’s voice came from afar.
