Swish, swish, swish!

Yun Tao, Qiu Ying, and Lin Yuyan landed beside Chen Jingxuan. When they saw Jiang Chen and the three bodies on the ground, they were all momentarily frozen in place.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Lin Yuyan swiftly moved to Jiang Chen's side, looking at him with concern.

Jiang Chen gently shook his head, looking calmly at Chen Jingxuan.

When Chen Jingxuan met Jiang Chen's gaze, his heart trembled. He had promised Jiang Chen that he would look after Lin Yuyan, but failed to do so, causing Lin Yuyan and Jiang Chen to fall into danger. This filled his heart with a sense of guilt.

"You, you killed them? You, with your Semi Divine Infant Realm strength, killed three cultivators at the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage!?"

Yun Tao exclaimed in shock.

Chen Jingxuan and Qiu Ying shuddered. They were initially overwhelmed by the deaths of Tang Zhenglin and the others, not considering the disparity in strength. Now, Yun Tao's reminder made them realize it instantly, and their gaze towards Jiang Chen was filled with incredulity.

"I want to know what the Heavenly Sword Sect plans to do next."

Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

Tang Zhenglin was the son of the Vice Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Having killed him, Jiang Chen feared he could no longer enter the Heavenly Sword Sect!

"This..."

Chen Jingxuan and the others' expressions changed, and they all frowned.

"I understand."

Jiang Chen's expression darkened slightly, and he spoke indifferently, "Chen Gongzi, I hope that when the Heavenly Sword Sect sends people to hunt me, it won't be you. In the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, you're the only one I still find tolerable."

Chen Jingxuan looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression. Jiang Chen's talent was excellent, and if he had entered the Heavenly Sword Sect, he would have definitely received special training.

However, he killed Tang Zhenglin. If he had only killed Song Zhijian and Liu Jianming, it might not have mattered much, but Tang Zhenglin's father is the Vice Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The sect can't let Jiang Chen go, regardless of the reason.

"In this matter, Yu Yan is innocent. She is merely a victim."

Jiang Chen stared directly at Chen Jingxuan.

Judging from Tang Zhenglin and the others' attitudes towards Chen Jingxuan, Chen Jingxuan's background should be even greater than Tang Zhenglin's.

"I can guarantee Miss Lin's safety. Once at the sect, I will personally send her to Elder Qin. With her qualities, Elder Qin will definitely take her as a direct disciple. Elder Qin's power surpasses Vice Sect Leader Tang, and he's known in the sect for protecting his own. Vice Sect Leader Tang wouldn't dare trouble Miss Lin!"

Chen Jingxuan understood Jiang Chen's meaning and spoke solemnly, his eyes showing a complex expression.

In this matter, Jiang Chen was not wrong. Tang Zhenglin and the others kidnapped Lin Yuyan and tried to kill Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen's counterattack, killing them, was justified. However, considering Tang Zhenglin's background, Chen Jingxuan couldn't promise to protect Jiang Chen.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude to Chen Jingxuan.

"Young master, what do you mean by this? Are you, are you going to abandon me?"

Lin Yuyan looked at Jiang Chen in panic, clutching onto his coat.

After all, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl. Having experienced a drastic change in her family and being saved by Jiang Chen, who later avenged her, albeit she saved Jiang Chen first, she was filled with gratitude towards him, having come to regard him as her most trustworthy family member.

"Yu Yan, I can't enter the Heavenly Sword Sect anymore. Going there would mean certain death for me. But it's different for you. You have no faults, and once you're in, there'll be people suitable to teach you cultivation. You should go!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

"No! Young master! I don't want to leave you! You're my only family now!"

Lin Yuyan cried as she rushed into Jiang Chen's embrace.

Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of distress as he gently patted Lin Yuyan's back. He looked up at Chen Jingxuan and briefly explained Lin Yuyan's situation to him.

The eyes of Chen Jingxuan and the others showed a touch of emotion. Qiu Ying also understood why back in Molten Fire Town, Zhuang Chengjiang was willing to offend Liu Jianming to explain for Jiang Chen.

After explaining Lin Yuyan's situation, Jiang Chen looked at the woman in his arms. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand striking Lin Yuyan's nape sharply.

Lin Yuyan's body went limp, and she immediately fainted.

Gently placing Lin Yuyan on the ground, Jiang Chen spoke indifferently, "Chen Gongzi, I hope this time you won't break your promise. Yu Yan saved my life, and if anything happens to her, I, Jiang Chen, will exhaust my life to destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Chen Jingxuan's heart trembled, looking at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression, and nodded heavily.

At that moment, he had a feeling—if this young man in front of him said it, he would surely do it!

"There's one more favor I wish to ask of Chen Gongzi!"

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment and spoke softly, "When you meet your Master Zhang Sanfeng, please tell him the words 'Wu Dan Tai Chi Grandmaster.' If he doesn't know what it means, then just leave it be. But if he does, please ask him to take care of Yu Yan, just say it's a request from a fellow townsman!"

Jiang Chen had given up on finding Zhang Sanfeng. Regardless of whether it was true, he couldn't go. If not, that's fine, but if yes, going would only implicate Zhang Sanfeng.

Zhang Sanfeng is an Elder, and Tang Zhenglin's father is the Vice Sect Leader. The disparity in status is clear.

"Can you tell me the meaning of this phrase?" Chen Jingxuan slightly frowned.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "If he is the person I'm looking for, he will understand!"

Swish!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen soared into the sky, flying away from the forest.

Whoosh!

A forceful gust flew towards Chen Jingxuan. He reached out to catch it and found it was the Identity Token Jiang Chen had taken.

"Chen Senior Brother, shouldn't we..."

Qiu Ying hesitated and spoke.

"Junior Sister Qiu, do you think Jiang Chen did anything wrong?"

Chen Jingxuan asked softly, looking at the Token in his hand.

"This..."

Qiu Ying cast a glance at the unconscious Lin Yuyan nearby, not answering.

"If you have an answer in your heart, then what is the point of pursuing?"

Chen Jingxuan lifted his head, looking in the direction Jiang Chen had departed, and sighed softly, "I have a premonition that someday, our Heavenly Sword Sect will regret today's matter!"

Yun Tao was momentarily stunned, glanced at Chen Jingxuan, then at Lin Yuyan on the ground, and spoke seriously, "Since we have this premonition, we should take good care of this girl. Leaving her here was a decision beyond his control!"

"He killed your Vice Sect Leader's son, and also killed the young city lord of Fenglin City. Forget about your Heavenly Sword Sect, Fenglin City will definitely not let him go. With this girl, he cannot escape, and she would die too."

"By entrusting this girl to you, he shows trust in you. As long as you ensure her safety, in the future, when he reappears, you will have something to account for."

Chen Jingxuan was stirred by these words, turning to Yun Tao: "You feel the same way, don't you?"

Yun Tao lightly nodded, looking in the direction Jiang Chen had gone, speaking solemnly:

"From the first time I saw him at the tavern, I felt he was surely no ordinary person!"
