234: Just slaughtered

Zong Yuan and his group arrived and saw that Jiang Chen was completely unharmed.

They felt both joy and surprise in their hearts.

Just now, they passed the Fenglan Pass ahead, and the inside of the Fenglan Pass was already a ruin, dilapidated, with raging fires burning, the scene resembling Hell.

Zong Yuan had thought they were too late.

Clearly, a great battle had already taken place.

But fortunately, they ran into Jiang Chen here.

Now that Jiang Chen himself was unharmed, it was clearly because Jiang Chen had not yet ventured deep into the Fenglan Sword Sect's mountain range.

Otherwise, he would definitely have been captured by the experts of the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Jiang Chen must have only just arrived here and had not yet gone deep.

Although a Fenglan Pass was destroyed.

But they figured that with the Dean stepping forward, there should still be room for negotiation.

“I'm fine.”

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, assuming Vice Dean Zong Yuan was merely concerned about him.

Zong Yuan then quickly introduced the others to Jiang Chen.

“This is our Sacred Martial Academy's Dean, Li Daoming.”

“This is the Sixth Prince, the Jingnan King.”

“These individuals are Tutors from our Sacred Martial Academy.”

Jiang Chen bowed and cupped his hands to each person before him.

When he heard that there was actually a Prince present, Jiang Chen was clearly a bit surprised.

After all, a Prince was a member of the imperial family. He hadn't expected Vice Dean Zong to invite someone of such high status.

“Thank you all for coming to help. I'm fine.”

Jiang Chen said, cupping his hands slightly.

Dean Li Daoming nodded slightly upon hearing this.

“It's good that you're fine. Fortunately, only one Fenglan Pass was destroyed. In that case, we still have some room to maneuver with the Fenglan Sword Sect.”

“Luckily, the Prince came along on this trip. With the Sixth Prince here, the Fenglan Sword Sect will have to give us some Face.”

Li Daoming said.

He looked toward the Sixth Prince standing nearby.

The Sixth Prince looked very young, only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but his cultivation was strong, already possessing the strength of the Earth Martial Realm.

However, the Sixth Prince's demeanor was arrogant, and his Face clearly showed a sense of reluctance.

It seemed he didn't want to get involved in this messy situation at all.

“Sigh, don't rely on me for this matter. Even I might not have enough influence.”

“You completely destroyed their Fenglan Pass. How can we even talk about it now?”

“Even if I step forward, the outcome might not be favorable.”

The Jingnan King flicked his sleeve, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

“The Sixth Prince is a Personal Disciple of the Fenglan Sword Sect's Grand Elder. Even Feng Wankun, the Sect Master of the Fenglan Sword Sect, has to give the Sixth Prince some Face.”

A woman standing nearby, who looked somewhat similar to Ye Wanqiu, spoke up to smooth things over.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanqiu was looking at Jiang Chen before her with great curiosity.

Under Jiang Chen's slightly confused gaze, she slowly spoke.

“I am Ye Wanqiu's paternal aunt, Ye Zishan.”

Ye Zishan chuckled lightly.

Jiang Chen was curious about her identity, while Ye Zishan was also very curious about Jiang Chen.

Ever since Ye Wanqiu returned, she had been full of praise for Jiang Chen. Ye Zishan had never seen Ye Wanqiu revere and think of a boy so highly.

Therefore, this time, upon hearing that Jiang Chen might be in danger, she disregarded everything else and immediately rushed over with Zong Yuan.

“Although that is true, Jiang Chen destroyed their Fenglan Pass this time, and you all saw the scene just now.”

“I think the Fenglan Sword Sect might not let this go easily.”

“Jiang Chen, it's not that this King won't protect you, but what you did was truly excessive.”

“At most, I can plead on your behalf before my Senior Brother, the Sect Master, to ensure your life is safe.”

“Not only that, but you'll likely have to pay a lot in compensation later!”

When the Sixth Prince saw Ye Zishan speak up to persuade him, his tone softened slightly.

He conceded a little.

Jiang Chen finally understood.

“Thank you, Prince.”

“However, you are still one step too late.”

“If I had known you and Feng Wankun were Senior and Junior Brothers, I would have definitely spared him for a moment longer.”

“He's already dead now.”

“As for compensation, I've already taken it myself.”

Jiang Chen said with a serious expression.

Although the Sixth Prince was previously a Disciple of the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Judging by his relationship with the Sacred Martial Academy, he shouldn't be someone siding with the Fenglan Sword Sect.

Rather, he was someone specifically put forward by the Great Lan Dynasty's Imperial Family to mediate and negotiate between the Dynasty and the Fenglan Sword Sect.

It was estimated that the Sixth Prince was indispensable for resolving many matters.

Moreover, the Sixth Prince looked very young, his strength had already reached the Earth Martial Realm, and given his noble status, a bit of arrogance was quite normal.

Jiang Chen didn't dwell on these things.

Not everyone could have the same attitude.

As long as they weren't his enemy, Jiang Chen didn't mind if they had a bit of personality.

Jiang Chen's words left everyone dumbfounded.

“Lord... Lord Jiang? Wh-what do you mean by that?”

“Could it be that Feng Wankun suddenly died of an illness?”

Zong Yuan was stunned and asked.

“No.”

“I just slew him.”
