The Rendezvous One Month later
Countless people were seen fleeing away from the spatial zone. The battle between Yan Chenyu and Nanbei Chao had been veiled by the thick dust and mist. No one could see what was happening inside. The figures of Jiang Chen and Han Feng were flickering in the spatial crevice while they kept their eyes fixed at the centre of the battlefield. They didn’t seem affected by the collapse of the spatial zone.
Han Feng was a half-step Sovereign expert. He had almost comprehended the law of Great Sovereign and had remarkable mastery in spatial force. So it was natural that he could walk in between the spaces. He would be able to walk out of this place even if the entire spatial zone collapsed. Jiang Chen was even more capable than Han Feng. He could walk freely within the spatial turbulence using the Great Void Technique.
“Brother Jiang, who do you think will win?”
Han Feng asked, seeming to be rather worried. He naturally hoped to see Yan Chenyu win as they were now on the same boat.
“Given their strength, I’m afraid it’s very difficult to conclude who will win the battle.”
Jiang Chen shook his head. The power of Great Sovereign Batian and Empress Nine Yin were equal. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have fallen in their last battle. Today, Nanbei Chao and Yan Chenyu had recovered the memories and powers of the past. Both of their cultivation base were the same and their means were equally terrifying. Therefore, based on Jiang Chen’s estimation, it would be extremely hard to tell who would win the battle.
Violent qi continued to swirl at the centre of the battlefield. Yan Chenyu and Nanbei Chao had recovered their usual appearance, but neither of them was in a good state. Both of their qi were in disorder. Cracks and wounds could be seen on their flesh. Blood spurted out from their mouths. Clearly, the collisions had been detrimental to both of them.
“Empress Nine Yin, I’ll remember today’s score. I’ll kill you the next time I see you. Jiang Chen, you are lucky this time.” Leaving these last line of words, Nanbei Chao vanished with a swoosh.
Yan Chenyu didn’t chase after him as she knew very well that it was useless. Given her present strength, it was virtually impossible for her to kill Nanbei Chao. Furthermore, just like Nanbei Chao, she had suffered severe injuries and needed time to recuperate.
“Are you alright, Xiao Yu?”
Jiang Chen flew over and asked with deep concern. Seeing Yan Chenyu getting hurt pained him.
“I’m okay, but my body has suffered severe injuries. As my integration with the Sovereign body is only at the early stage, I’ll need a certain amount of time to recover,” replied Yan Chenyu. Nevertheless, the injuries weren’t severe enough to injure her core.
“Now that Nanbei Chao has recovered his power, it will be a disaster to Eastern Profound Domain.”
Jiang Chen looked at where Nanbei Chao had vanished. Nanbei Chao was undoubtedly the greatest beneficiary in this expedition. Of course, Yan Chenyu had also benefited tremendously from it.
“Nanbei Chao is now in a similar state as I do. He won’t be coming out anytime soon. He will definitely look for a hideout to heal his body. So there’s no need to worry about him for the time being.” Yan Chenyu said. No one knew Nanbei Chao’s current condition more than she did.
“Empress, this spatial zone is about to collapse. We should leave now,” prompted Han Feng.
The three of them then left the remains in a flash.
The famous Monarch Mountain in the Central Domain crumbled. Thousands of miles of the mountain range were turned into ruins. The towering mountain peak would only exist in history henceforth.
The three came to a barren land. Yan Chenyu and Jiang Chen looked at each other, eyes brimming with deep affection and intimacy. Conscious of the chemistry of the two, Han Feng quickly moved away to provide a private space to the young couple that hadn’t seen each other for a long time.
“Brother Chen, we can finally be together.”
Yan Chenyu laid on Jiang Chen’s chest. To her, it was the happiest thing in her life.
“Yeah. When the matters in the Immortal World are resolved, we’ll get married,” said Jiang Chen with a smile.
These days, he had been asking for any news about her everywhere. His encounter with the Immortal Burying Coffin in the ancient tomb had left a blotch in his heart. At long last, that blotch had been cleared today and the weight in his heart had been lifted.
Yan Chenyu was without a doubt, one of the most important people in his life. Their relationship had started way back from Red City. Thinking back of the things that both of them had been through together made them sigh.
However, their path ahead didn’t come to a stop and was full of hiccups.
Jiang Chen told her everything that had happened in the Immortal World. Most of them were related to his lot of friends – Wu Ningzhu, Han Yan, Tyrant, Dragon Shisan, Jiang Zhenhai, and Nangong Wentian. All of their stories shocked her very much, especially Nangong Wentian’s, she didn’t think that he’s also a reincarnation of a Sovereign Lord.
“Brother Jiang, we’ll bid goodbye here. I’ll return to the Immortal Court now and report to Heaven Sovereign about the completion of the task. Don’t forget our agreement. You must attend the selection contest one month later,” said Han Feng to Jiang Chen.
“Don’t worry, Elder Han. I will certainly help Ah Nan. I’m going to take this month’s time to return to Ethereal Immortal Domain.”
Jiang Chen said. He wouldn’t detach himself from the matter of Nangong Wentian even without the reminder of Han Feng. He had a compelling obligation to help his life-and-death brother.
“Alright then. I’ll be waiting for you at the Immortal Court.”
As soon as Han Feng finished his last word, he vanished with a sway. He believed in Jiang Chen’s capability and that Jiang Chen would surely stand out from other competitors. He had seen Jiang Chen’s power and divinity. He even doubted that the geniuses of the Immortal Court could fight Jiang Chen.
After Han Feng left, Jiang Chen led Yan Chenyu towards Fengluo Sect. Now that Yan Chenyu had been found, he and Yan Chenyu must pay a visit to his father.
“Brother Chen, what are your plans after visiting your father?” asked Yan Chenyu.
“Return to my domain. I have left the domain for a long time. Before I left, I have given monkey a huge mess to deal with. I wonder what’s the situation there right now. I must return and find out,” Jiang Chen said.
Dragon Shisan had just awakened when Jiang Chen left, and immediately afterward, Dragon Shisan confronted those unparalleled geniuses of the Immortal Court in the son-in-law selection contest.
Jiang Chen was well aware that Ethereal Immortal Domain would never be peaceful due to the incidents in Golden Horizon and that countless of eyes had been fixed on Dragon Shisan when he disappeared. This was too unfair for Dragon Shisan, but he also knew that there was only Dragon Shisan who could control the situation in the Ethereal Immortal Domain.
