269: Infinite Pursuit Order

With a thunderous boom.

A terrifyingly dense surge of energy bloomed between heaven and earth.

This was the commotion caused by the explosion of Zhao Chongyang's Spiritual Manifestation.

Spiritual Aspect Power originates from between heaven and earth.

When the Spiritual Aspect Power is shattered, all the previously condensed power of heaven and earth will be returned to the world.

Unless one manages to recall the Spiritual Manifestation in time, in which case there is a certain chance to fully preserve it.

If that happens, one only needs to replenish the Spiritual Manifestation later on.

But in Zhao Chongyang's case.

Jiang Chen had directly crushed the Spiritual Manifestation's physical form along with everything else.

It had all exploded into dust.

At this moment, Zhao Chongyang suffered an extremely terrifying backlash. Even his strength at the seventh layer of the Martial King Realm was of no use at all.

In the next instant, Zhao Chongyang's figure plummeted from the sky.

With a loud thud.

He crashed into the palace.

Zhao Chongyang quickly swallowed a Medicinal Pill to repair his condition.

Although his Spiritual Aspect Power had collapsed.

Zhao Chongyang's own spiritual power cultivation remained.

Ordinary people would find it difficult to approach him. Fortunately, the Ye Duling did not let her subordinates get close, instead ordering everyone to retreat.

Zhao Chongyang's eyes were wide at this moment, filled with a look of utter disbelief.

He looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

Jiang Chen also retracted his Spiritual Manifestation's true form.

His figure descended from the sky.

He landed not far in front of the Ye Duling.

"You are... Her Majesty the Ye Duling?"

When Jiang Chen saw the Ye Duling's exquisite and peerless beauty.

He was momentarily startled by this nearly perfect, cold and elegant face, combined with that extremely explosive figure.

Although the Ye Duling wore a black dragon robe that appeared quite loose.

Jiang Chen had experience in this area.

Whether you're big or not.

He could tell at a glance.

Without a doubt, the Ye Duling was very big.

She was even comparable to Cheng Yurou.

Damn it, who told him that the Ye Duling of the Great Lan Dynasty was an old woman?

He'd have to skin that person alive!

Jiang Chen thought to himself; this was simply slander.

Stared at by Jiang Chen's fiery gaze, the Ye Duling felt her cheeks flush with heat for a moment.

This guy was a bit too direct.

The enemy was still right here.

The Ye Duling coughed lightly.

She cleared her throat.

"That's right, I am the Great Lan Empress."

The Ye Duling nodded slightly.

Although she had gathered quite a bit of intelligence on Jiang Chen, this was technically their first time meeting.

In reality, however, their secret exchanges were not few, and the Ye Duling had actually been paying attention to many matters.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Jiang Chen also cupped his hands in a proper salute.

He'd really made something of himself.

To be able to see the Ye Duling of the Great Lan Dynasty from such a close distance.

In the past.

The Great Lan Empress was an existence like a divine goddess in the heavens.

Like the stars in a distant world, she was out of reach for Jiang Chen.

He hadn't expected that she would now be standing right before him in the flesh.

"I've finally seen a living person today."

Jiang Chen sighed with emotion.

The Ye Duling's bright and deep eyes looked at Jiang Chen, and she gave a light smile.

It had to be said that the fact she was alive today, and that the Great Lan Dynasty enjoyed its current peace and prosperity, was entirely due to Jiang Chen's existence.

Without Jiang Chen.

There was no telling how many commoners of her Great Lan Dynasty would have died today.

"Jiang Chen... this person is the Zhao Family's Second Elder, Zhao Chongyang."

"You are the one who defeated him, so he is yours to deal with."

"No matter the consequences, my Great Lan Dynasty will bear them with you!"

The Ye Duling stepped forward and spoke.

She placed the responsibility regarding Zhao Chongyang onto Jiang Chen, giving him full authority to handle it.

"Heh, your Great Lan Dynasty truly overestimates itself."

"So what if you've raised such a monster?"

"Is the prestige of my Zhao Family something you people can withstand!"

"My Zhao Family has hundreds of thousands of ways to destroy you!"

Zhao Chongyang had recovered somewhat by now, but the backlash from his shattered Spiritual Manifestation was too severe. This caused his own cultivation to only recover to around the first layer of the Martial King Realm, making him even inferior to the previous Blood Kill Guards.

But what shocked Zhao Chongyang the most was still Jiang Chen's strength.

The Jiang Chen before him looked as if nothing had happened.

Yet what this guy had displayed didn't seem to have reached the level of the Martial Emperor Realm at all.

Therefore, in his heart, Zhao Chongyang had already defaulted to viewing Jiang Chen as a monster within the Martial King Realm.

Even at this moment, Zhao Chongyang remained quite stubborn.

Before Jiang Chen and the Ye Duling could say anything.

Zhao Chongyang took out a red Jade Slip.

With the Jade Slip clutched in his hand, confidence returned to Zhao Chongyang's gaze.

"Great Lan Empress, this is my Zhao Family's Infinite Pursuit Order!"

"As long as I release this Jade Slip, every single person in your Great Lan Dynasty will become a target of my Zhao Family's pursuit. This pursuit order will never stop until the last person in your Great Lan Dynasty is dead! It is a fight to the death!"

Zhao Chongyang declared.

A flicker of gravity passed through the Ye Duling's eyes.

According to the intelligence she had obtained, the Zhao Family indeed had such a mechanism, but it was basically only used to destroy rival forces, mostly among Sects and Families.

It had never been used against a Dynasty before.

Furthermore, this so-called Infinite Pursuit Order of the Zhao Family was merely a deterrent.

After all, for a force you could easily wipe out, you wouldn't need this thing.

And for a force you couldn't wipe out, you wouldn't dare to take out this pursuit order casually.

If you can hunt others, others can hunt you just the same.

So this thing would only be brought out when one held an absolute advantage.

It wasn't meant for a situation like the current one.

"A fight to the death?"

Jiang Chen frowned.

Zhao Chongyang seemed to see that the Ye Duling was somewhat wary.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze became even more smug as he looked at Jiang Chen.

"Exactly!"

"To the death! Now you know fear!"

"Great Lan Empress, you wouldn't want the citizens of your Great Lan Dynasty to die because of you, would you?"

"I can stop caring about the matter of you killing my son."

"But you must come with me!"

Zhao Chongyang said, pointing at the Ye Duling.

Theoretically, Jiang Chen was the one who killed his son, so he should be taking Jiang Chen away.

But taking Jiang Chen would be useless to him.

Moreover, it would be impossible to make Jiang Chen surrender just by holding this token. He could see that Jiang Chen was different from the Ye Duling; the Ye Duling cared for the people of the entire Great Lan Dynasty, but Jiang Chen was somewhat reckless and unconcerned.

Therefore, using the people of the Great Lan Dynasty to blackmail the Ye Duling should not be a problem.

As long as he seized the Ye Duling's Sacred Dragon Origin, breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm would be just around the corner!

However, before the Ye Duling could answer.

Jiang Chen waved his hand first.

"No, no, no, you've got it wrong. I'm not afraid."

"I'm saying, you really didn't need to bury the entire Zhao Family."

"Now, you can't blame me."
