Everyone could discern that the blue-clothed man wasn’t one to be trifled with, while the Empyrean G.o.ddess’s descendant who was standing behind him didn’t say anything, as if this whole story wasn’t related to her.

It could be said that it was foolish of Jiang Chen to speak up for them.

“This matter has nothing to do with you,” the blue-clothed man frowned and said. He treated Jiang Chen rudely, but it was still obvious that he had restrained himself.

Upon witnessing this, the crowd realized that Jiang Chen was probably anything but simple.

“Isn’t this matter unrelated to you too?” Jiang Chen smiled and looked at the woman behind this guy. He said, “Young miss, did you take offense? I feel like you are vexed and annoyed by a certain fly.”

When these words were heard, the blue-clothed man’s expression became unsightly, while the people in the vicinity were surprised.

The crowd couldn’t help but start making guesses about Jiang Chen’s origins.

“Is it you?”

The man with the knife scar had a good impression of Jiang Chen because it was he who had warned Jiang Chen kindly on the previous day, when he asked Jiang Chen to go back to ask his family members to protect him.

“Uncle, don’t worry,” Jiang Chen said.

“What a big talker,” the blue-clothed man said, as he became vexed because Jiang Chen didn’t give him any respect.

The deacon standing next to the man was taken aback, and he rolled his eyes, as he spoke in a deep voice, “Young master, this is our Devil-Slayer Palace’s private affair.”

“If the Devil-Slayer Palace takes money to handle tasks, then it must keep a neutral standpoint. People didn’t come here to work as your servants,” Jiang Chen said to him.

Such words gave rise to great reactions, and it was especially the case for the Devil-Slayer Palace’s disciples.

The woman called Xuan Qing looked curiously at Jiang Chen, and it seemed as if she had suddenly thought of something before she lowered her head.

“How daring! You dare to insult our Devil-Slayer Palace. Who do you think you are? You should also leave along with them,” the deacon said, now that he also got angry because Jiang Chen didn’t give him any respect.

It was obvious that the deacon didn’t know anything about Jiang Chen, and, after he spoke, a well-informed person sent him a sound transmission and informed him of Jiang Chen’s ident.i.ty.

“A Sovereign?” The deacon was startled, and he regretted his actions. But he had already spoken and he couldn’t take back his words.

Moreover, the deacon recalled that Jiang Chen was by himself here, and it seemed like the Sovereign didn’t care much about him.

Was it possible that he wasn’t close to the Sovereign, and that the Sovereign had only escorted him here in pa.s.sing?

People are always inclined to believe what suits them the most. This was how the deacon managed to comfort himself and regain his confidence.

“Are you sure?” Jiang Chen smiled and looked at him with a provocative gaze.

The deacon took a deep breath and risked everything. He said loudly, “That is right! I’m sure.”

“Okay, I will come back next time. But you must inform your Deputy Palace Master that I won’t enter through the Mysterious Gate next time.”

After Jiang Chen spoke, he looked at the Wolf Tooth Team and said, “Uncle, let’s leave and don’t worry about the expenses.”

“Okay! If we have to leave, let’s just leave.”

“The Devil-Slayer Palace isn’t any different than the three great factions. They bully the weak and are afraid of the strong. They are taking advantage of their position to bully people.”

The Wolf Tooth Team members had already taken a decision, and they didn’t want to stay here to be mistreated by others.

All martial-grade experts had Storage Spirit Artifacts, and that was why they didn’t need to pack anything. Their group soared into the sky, and they flew toward the outside.

“Humph, it’s just false bravado.”

When the deacon saw Jiang Chen leaving decisively, he a.s.sumed that he had only been putting on airs previously.

“Prince Feng Yu, I have ridiculed myself in front of you,” the deacon turned his head around while wearing a humble smile.

Bu, in the next second, his smile stiffened because he saw a blue beam flying, and it chased after Jiang Chen’s group that was leaving.

“The Deputy Palace Master?” The deacon was startled, and a chill ran down his spine. He realized that he had made a grave mistake, and he felt like his body was deprived of its whole power.

The light beams formed by people flying through the sky were varied because every person’s color was different, and, in the Devil-Slayer Palace, such a blue light beam was Ye Qiu’s symbol.

“Young master Jiang Chen, please wait,” Ye Qiu sounded quite anxious. He rejoiced that he had asked people to observe Jiang Chen in secret to prevent the occurrence of any accidents.

This was why Ye Qiu had managed to receive news about this matter at the very first moment, and when he heard that Jiang Chen stated that next time he wouldn’t enter through the Mysterious Gate, he was scared greatly.

According to what the protectors had said, Xiao Ruo possessed enough power to destroy the barrier and the seal, and once the Demonic Abyss went out of control, the Xuanhuan Realm would descend into chaos, while their Devil-Slayer Palace would be destroyed.

“Deputy Palace Master, what instructions do you have for me?” Jiang Chen wasn’t surprised by this because he had detected long ago that someone was supervising him in secret, and he could guess that it had been done by the Deputy Palace Master.

In the whole Devil-Slayer Palace, it was only Ye Qiu who knew Jiang Chen’s relations.h.i.+p with Xiao Ruo, and this was why he was forced to take him seriously.

“Young master Jiang Chen, are you joking with us? A single person can’t represent our Devil-Slayer Palace’s wishes, let alone just a deacon. He doesn’t have the right to decide anything related to the Mysterious Gate’s quotas.”

Ye Qiu had already understood the course of events, and he wasn’t just saying these words to Jiang Chen, but also to the Wolf Tooth Team.

“Sirs, please descend with me. I can a.s.sure that no one can kick you out.”

The Wolf Tooth Team, as well Jiang Chen, who hadn’t really planned to leave, went back once again to the plaza.

“You! Who has given you such authority?” Ye Qiu’s sharp gaze looked at the deacon, who had almost caused this matter to get out of hand.

The deacon s.h.i.+vered with fear, and he could only look with his entreating gaze at the blue-clothed man and the other old man.

“Deputy Palace Master, I think that there was a misunderstanding here,” the old man said with a smile.

“There wasn’t any misunderstanding. A deacon can’t determine who can come and go from the Mysterious Gate, and he also isn’t allowed to become other people’s lackey. Our Devil-Slayer Palace has a neutral standpoint. So, please show us some respect.”

“Deputy Palace Master, there is currently just a single Sovereign, but I can a.s.sure you that in the next year, there will be so many Sovereigns that a single hand won’t be enough to count them.”

The blue-clothed man was disgraced in this confrontation and wasn’t willing to accept this.

“Prince, thanks for your reminder. Our Devil-Slayer Palace may also get a Sovereign in the future,” the unmoved Ye Qiu said.

HUMPH!

The blue-clothed man waved his sleeves, turned around, and left. He didn’t pay any attention to the Devil-Slayer Palace’s female disciples.

The onlookers all felt refreshed upon seeing that the blue-clothed man was forced to concede. They all feared the strong, but everyone was still satisfied to see justice being upheld.

“Young master, thank you,” the man with the knife scar expressed his grat.i.tude.

“If I don’t have the right to speak my mind, then it’s a sorrowful matter. So, you don’t have to thank me,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.

When these words rang out near Xuan Qing’s ears, her pretty eyes lit up.

Thereafter, Jiang Chen got acquainted with all the Wolf Tooth Team members.

The knife scam man’s name was Du Yongbo, and he was an apex Martial Emperor.

According to the three great factions division of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, he should be a member of one of the Sovereign Spirit Palace’s eight palaces, but he left it to travel the world because he was fed up with the fight over power there.

Every world has many famous dangerous lands, and he went to all of them along with his teammates. Now they wanted to enter the Demonic Abyss and seek an opportunity to become Saints.

On the other side of the plaza, the blue-clothed man left with the old man.

“Second Elder, I can’t bear such an insult,” the blue-clothed man said, his face filled with resentment.

“Young master, we will shortly enter the dangerous Demonic Abyss, and there isn’t any way to record a video there. If we can ascertain that a seal wasn’t left on him by that Sovereign, we will be able to teach that person about offending an imperial power.”
