"Senior, this young master, farewell!"

Jiang Chen cupped his fists again, turned, and walked toward the staircase.

"You are right, this young man is extraordinary!"

Watching Jiang Chen descend the stairs, the old man turned and spoke softly to Yun Tao.

"I hope he can survive this tribulation!"

Yun Tao sighed, turned, called out to the waiter, and ordered food and wine.

After the master and apprentice ate, two hours had passed, and they were the only ones left on the fourth floor of the tavern.

"By the way, that young man is just a Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivator. Why did he offend the City Lord's Mansion and the Heavenly Sword Sect? The City Lord's Mansion actually mobilized such forces to capture him!"

The old man only heard Yun Tao mention that during the observation of the Heavenly Sword Sect's selection examination, a promising talent was discovered, but this talent offended the City Lord's Mansion and the Heavenly Sword Sect. Initially, he wasn't overly interested, but after meeting Jiang Chen, his interest was piqued.

"He killed the young city lord of Fenglin City and the son of the vice sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Yun Tao spoke softly.

"What? This young man is so daring? Tell me, what happened?"

The old man's interest was thoroughly aroused.

"It was like this, he..."

Yun Tao recounted the events.

"What? A Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivator killed three who had comprehended the Great Dao in the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage!?"

The old man shot up from his chair, looking at Yun Tao in shock.

Yun Tao was taken aback, confused: "Master, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong, you, you, you... Do you know what this means?"

The old man gazed at Yun Tao with reproach: "You young man... you're truly... You actually let such a heaven-gifted talent slip away just like that? You're killing me with frustration, you are!"

"No, Master, what's wrong?"

Yun Tao looked at the old man, bewildered.

"What's wrong? What's the biggest difference between the Divine Infant Realm and the Semi Divine Infant Realm?"

The old man asked sternly.

"The biggest difference is that the Divine Infant Realm can comprehend the Great..."

Yun Tao suddenly froze, eyes reflecting disbelief.

"Cross-level slaying isn't impossible, but it absolutely shouldn't happen between a Semi Divine Infant Realm and a Divine Infant Realm. If it does, there's only one possibility!"

The old man stated solemnly: "That is, that Semi Divine Infant Realm cultivator has already comprehended the Great Dao!"

"This... that Jiang Chen, he..."

Yun Tao's breathing became rapid, heart shaken heavily.

"This is a peerless genius that only appears once in a hundred years on the entire continent. You, you, you actually encountered such a genius and didn't seize the opportunity, instead just letting him go... Damn it, a genius like this, never mind killing the son of that vice sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, so what if he even killed that vice sect leader?"

The old man glared at Yun Tao angrily, snapping: "What are you standing there for? Go after him!"

Swoosh!

In a flash, the old man vanished from his original spot.

"Damn! Our Changlin Academy is also going to have a peerless genius!"

Yun Tao cursed aloud, hurriedly chasing after the old man.

The outskirts of Fenglin City.

Jiang Chen walked leisurely along the road.

He hadn't left Fenglin City but was heading toward Molten Fire Town, the place where he first spent time upon arriving in this world. He wanted to see it once more, knowing that if he left, it was uncertain when he would return.

"It's been half a month, the City Lord's Mansion people should have chased beyond the Fenglin City region by now?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly: "Chase on, I'll leave once you're tired of chasing."

Whoosh!

A light breeze blew, carrying a faint scent of blood.

"Hmm?"

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow, glancing in the direction the smell was coming from, his face changing drastically: "Over there... the nearest place is Molten Fire Town!"

Swoosh!

A sense of foreboding rose in Jiang Chen's heart, and he flashed quickly toward Molten Fire Town.

Molten Fire Town.

At this moment, Molten Fire Town was filled with an overwhelming bloody smell, the ground littered with corpses. A stream of blood flowed down the main street and out of the town gate, casting an eerie silence over the entire town!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Over a hundred figures moved back and forth within Molten Fire Town, mercilessly giving a finishing blow to any survivors they encountered.

"Speak, where is that Jiang Chen?"

A loud shout echoed from within the Town Lord Mansion.

Inside the Town Lord's Mansion courtyard.

Amidst a sea of bodies, Zhuang Chengjiang knelt, covered in blood. Before him stood a middle-aged man clad in armor.

"You bunch of beasts! Beasts!"

Zhuang Chengjiang glared at the man with hatred, yelling: "You couldn't find Young Master Jiang, so you ran here to vent your anger on us, not even sparing babes in swaddling clothes. You're less than human, you are beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Hmph! Blame yourselves for saving someone you shouldn't have!"

The man snorted coldly.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A dozen figures leaped into the Town Lord Mansion, gathering around the man.

"Sir, he's the only one left in the entire town!"

"Good!"

The man nodded, raised the longsword in his hand, and coldly eyed Zhuang Chengjiang kneeling before him: "Time to send you on your way!"

"Who? Who did this!"

An angry roar resounded from the east gate of the town.

The armored man's brow furrowed, raising his head to look at the person who just reported.

Zhuang Chengjiang's face changed, and he shouted with the last of his spiritual power: "Young Master Jiang, run!"

"Jiang Chen!"

The armored man's expression shifted, swinging his sword down, shouting simultaneously: "That's Jiang Chen, catch him!"

Slash!

Thud!

Blood spurted from Zhuang Chengjiang's neck, and he fell headfirst to the ground, muttering with his last breath: "Run... fast..."

The east gate of the town.

Jiang Chen's face was dark as he looked at the river of blood flowing from the gate, gazing up at the bodies strewn across the town's main street, their faces filled with horror.

"That's Jiang Chen, catch him!"

A shout came from the Town Lord Mansion within the town.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A group of armored cultivators soared into the sky from various streets, flying toward the east gate.

City Guard Army?!

Jiang Chen's body shook violently, eyes showing disbelief.

Is it because of me? Just because I went from Molten Fire Town to Fenglin City, they... they massacred the entire town!?

Jiang Chen's eyes instantly filled with blood, a surge of malevolence welling up inside him.

"Ah!"

He roared to the sky, surging with overwhelming killing intent, his body emitting waves of blood-colored evil qi.

"Bastards! Bastards!"

Jiang Chen cursed aloud, glaring at the incoming City Guard Army in the sky with eyes like an abyss.

The frontmost City Guard Army members, upon meeting Jiang Chen's gaze, were suddenly chilled to the bone, hearts trembling with fear as a trace of dread appeared in their eyes.

Is this a human's gaze?
