"Saint Son, Your Highness." Yu Yuanzhen and the other five looked at Jiang Chen with uneasy expressions, covered in sweat.
Bibi Dong had given them the order to completely destroy the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, especially Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
But now, because they had initially thought victory was in their grasp and relaxed their mindset, Sword Douluo had managed to escape with Ning Fengzhi and the other one at the end.
If Bibi Dong pursued accountability, they would not be able to escape responsibility.
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "Elder Yu, in your opinion, did Chen Xin finally break through to level ninety-seven?"
Yu Yuanzhen nodded uneasily. "He broke through. Otherwise, he couldn't have turned into sword light to escape. The aura that erupted from him at the end clearly exceeded level ninety-six."
This was another piece of bad news, making the hearts of several Title Douluo even heavier.
They had failed to kill Sword Douluo and the other two. Instead, they had allowed Sword Douluo to break through, giving the Spirit Hall another powerful enemy.
A level ninety-seven Title Douluo could only be dealt with by the Worshippers.
But Chen Xin was renowned for his offensive power; even sending one or two Worshippers might not be enough to handle him.
Moreover, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School had now been destroyed. With no more worries holding them back, Ning Fengzhi and the other two would be like barefoot people who feared nothing from those wearing shoes. They would likely continue to cause endless trouble for the Spirit Hall.
At this thought, several Title Douluo were already drenched in cold sweat, purely from fear.
Even if Bibi Dong forgave them, they had formed a blood feud with Chen Xin tonight. From now on, they would probably have to live in constant fear.
Jiang Chen sighed. "I was careless too. I didn't expect that in such a desperate situation, they could still escape."
"Saint Son, Your Highness, what should we do now?" Yu Yuanzhen asked.
He had fought to take on this mission precisely because he wanted to earn merits for his sect, but now he feared he had brought disaster upon it instead.
Whether it was the Pope's punishment or Chen Xin's revenge, he could not bear either.
"Elders, there is no need to worry. Don't we still have one more defensive line? Perhaps we can intercept and kill Chen Xin and the other two there," Jiang Chen comforted them.
Dugu Bo said worriedly, "We don't know how far Chen Xin's sword light can fly. If the second defensive line is set up too close, it won't be able to stop them at all. And now that Chen Xin has reached level ninety-seven, our four elders may not necessarily be able to kill him either."
Jiang Chen said, "Elders, rest assured. When we return to the Spirit Hall, I will definitely plead on your behalf."
Yu Yuanzhen and the others' eyes lit up one after another, their faces showing expressions of gratitude.
If they could obtain the Pope's forgiveness, that would be the best outcome.
"Saint Son, Your Highness's great kindness and virtue, this old man will remember it in his heart. In the future, if the Saint Son has any use for me, I will not refuse even if it means death," Yu Yuanzhen said hastily.
The rest of the elders all expressed their stance, almost saying the words "swear to follow to the death" out loud.
Jiang Chen smiled. "Rest assured. My teacher will certainly not punish you. Leave Chen Xin and the other two to me. The remaining matters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School are in your hands. Remember, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, take away all the wealth of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School."
"Saint Son, Your Highness, rest assured, we will definitely accomplish it. But how will you deal with Chen Xin?" While Yu Yuanzhen and the others were moved, they were also somewhat puzzled.
Jiang Chen said, "You don't need to worry. After you finish plundering the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, return and report back. Tell my teacher that I will handle Chen Xin."
Yu Yuanzhen and the others nodded and said with concern, "Saint Son, please be careful in everything."
"Alright." Jiang Chen responded. His figure shot into the sky, releasing his Thunder Light Wings as he chased in the direction Chen Xin had left.
This direction led toward Heaven Dou City. It was obvious that Chen Xin believed the Heaven Dou Empire could shelter them.
Little did they know that the Heaven Dou Empire had already become a large urn, just waiting for them to crawl inside.
Jiang Chen had not expected Sword Douluo to escape in such a way either. He had originally thought that with the addition of the expert Yu Yuanzhen this time, plus Dugu Bo hidden in the dark, the operation would be flawless.
But an accident had still occurred.
However, as long as Chen Xin and the other two entered Heaven Dou City, there would still be a chance.
Jiang Chen used his fastest speed, but he was still quite a bit slower than Chen Xin's sword-flight speed after the breakthrough.
Still, Chen Xin was carrying two people, so he probably couldn't maintain flight for a long time. Jiang Chen still had a chance to catch up.
A moment later, he descended from the air.
Before him were four elders who were currently looking bewildered.
"Saint Son, Your Highness, why have you come? Has the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School already been destroyed?" one of the elders asked. Jiang Chen remembered this was the Tenth Elder, the leader of this ambush.
Jiang Chen sighed. "All the disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School have been wiped out. Only Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluo escaped toward Heaven Dou City. Didn't you see them?"
"It really was that sword light!" another elder cried out in alarm.
"Tenth Elder, tell me what happened," Jiang Chen said.
The Tenth Elder replied, "That sword light just flew over the area where we were lying in ambush. The aura was extremely similar to the rumored Sword Douluo. We were just about to pursue when Your Highness arrived."
Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The best news was that Chen Xin had not changed direction.
He swept his gaze over the thousand soul masters around them. "Tenth Elder, have these soul masters return first. I will go ahead. The four of you follow afterward to Heaven Dou City and await orders at the Sacred Hall."
With that, his figure flashed, once again turning into a bright bolt of lightning that streaked across the dark night sky, chasing toward Heaven Dou City.
The four elders looked at each other. Finally, someone asked, "Tenth Elder, what do we do now?"
The Tenth Elder pondered for a moment. "Let's do as the Saint Son said. He probably needs our strength to deal with Ning Fengzhi and the other two inside Heaven Dou City."
A moment later, the four elders also chased in the direction of Heaven Dou City.
...
The distance from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's location to Heaven Dou City was not too far. Jiang Chen had consumed quite a few pills, and with his increasingly thick soul power, he could barely use Thunder Light Wings for extended flight.
Thunder Light Wings and the Three Thousand Thunder Movement were a perfect match. Jiang Chen seemed to have truly transformed into lightning, his speed astonishingly fast.
Three hours later, Heaven Dou City was already visible in the distance. Jiang Chen landed.
Along the way, he had continuously smelled the bloody scent left behind by Ning Fengzhi and the other two.
This bloody scent drifted in the high sky. Others would find it extremely difficult to detect, but Jiang Chen was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.
The bloody aura had continued all the way into the distant Heaven Dou City.
Jiang Chen stopped flying and sprinted forward on the ground.
He already had a rough plan in mind for hunting Ning Fengzhi and the other two, but he still needed to confirm whether, in this situation, Chen Xin would bring Ning Fengzhi and the others to find Qian Renxue or go to Shrek Academy.
After entering Heaven Dou City, three small birds flew out from Jiang Chen's body. Two flew toward Shrek Academy, and one flew toward the imperial palace.
A moment later, Jiang Chen revealed a smile.
Ning Fengzhi and the other two were inside Shrek Academy.
This was the most ideal result in Jiang Chen's mind. Dealing with Ning Fengzhi and the other two would be much better away from the imperial palace.
If his operation failed, it would at least not implicate Qian Renxue.
He left the two small birds at Shrek Academy to continue monitoring, then set off back to the imperial palace.
Dealing with Chen Xin and the other two could not be rushed. He needed to wait for the best opportunity and make various follow-up arrangements in advance to prevent any accidents.
