Chapter 1703: Grandma Golden Flower

The Sovereign Soul Palace’s censure was actually expected.

After all, as the penance of having Long Xing killed, Jiang Chen was only exiled.

And he had been arrogant all along, behaving like he would come back one day sooner or later. No one would have been able to put up with that.

Ye Qiu and Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster stopped Chu Tianfeng and others.

However, Xiao Nuo had exerted her unique theurgy to attack those from the Sovereign Soul Palace who had attacked Jiang Chen.

World-cla.s.s practicers’ unique theurgy was absolutely fascinating.

No matter Junior or Senior Supreme Venerables, they were all shocked and paralyzed by the unique theurgy.

When a large number of people were about to be injured or killed, an arched light s.h.i.+eld protected the members of the Sovereign Soul Palace from the damage.

Xiao Nuo’s A Strike of Fast Thunders and Arc Lights. .h.i.t the light s.h.i.+eld and broke it. The shock even threw those behind it off balance.

However, they all survived.

The power of Xiao Nuo’s sword attack was all offset.

“Who is that?!”

Not until then did Xiao Nuo really believe what Ye Qiu had told her, that there were more great masters in the Sovereign Soul Palace!

Although the light s.h.i.+eld was broken, the person who had created the light s.h.i.+eld had not shown up yet.

That meant not even half of the light s.h.i.+eld’s power had been exerted.

“b.i.t.c.h! The Sovereign Soul Palace hasn’t got into a place where you can do whatever you want yet!”

An angry voice came. It sounded old and high-pitched.

Under Xiao Nuo’s sharp gaze, an old woman with a wrinkled face showed up.

Her eyes were turbid. She was so old that she could not even straighten her back.

However, the energy turbulence in the air that came with her proved she was strong.

“Gosh. Isn’t she the old lady selling pastries in Soul City?”

“She is so strong! That’s a shock.”

“There are other great masters in the Sovereign Soul City!”

Everyone on the scene, including the members of the Sovereign Soul Palace, was surprised by the old woman’s appearance.

This was a mysterious, strong woman who had never been graded by the Supreme Venerable Stone.

Many from the Sovereign Soul Palace had seen her before.

She was making a living by selling pastries in Soul City, unattached and isolated. Many disciples of the Sovereign Soul Palace knew her.

It was totally a surprise that this old woman was one of the few world-cla.s.s strong practicers the Sovereign Soul Palace had.

“The Sovereign Soul Palace is really full of strong people,” people exclaimed.

A really powerful force would not collapse just because its leader died.

In this regard, the Celestial Palace and the Heavenly Palace were still not powerful enough.

“Grandma Golden Flower! The Sacred Inst.i.tute’s judgment has already been enforced. You are undermining our efforts!” said Ye Qiu in anger.

“This old hag even swears. It’s really annoying.”

Xiao Nuo was as calm as usual. She was even eager to fight.

“It has been a long time. No one knows me, Golden Flower Heavenly Woman, anymore.”

A sharp light flashed in Grandma Golden Flower’s eyes when she had heard Xiao Nuo.

“Golden Flower Heavenly Woman?”

Many senior strong people on the scene frowned. They seemed to be pondering something.

Soon, exclaims came again and again.

Golden Flower Heavenly Woman used to be the Heavenly Woman of a big sect in the Realm of Divine Martial Arts!

Afterward, in the grand expanding plan of the Sovereign Soul Palace, this great sect was in their way. Therefore, a big war broke out.

The Sovereign Soul Palace was in the middle of rising at that moment. Those years were also when Long Xing fought in person the most.

Long Xing got rid of this great sect almost on his own.

Golden Flower Heavenly Woman also vanished in the world.

It was really surprising that she had been working for the Sovereign Soul Palace ever since then.

“Grandma Golden Flower, didn’t you hear me? Leave here with your people right away!” yelled Ye Qiu.

Grandma Golden Flower threw him a glimpse and then looked away.

“You don’t get to speak to me.”

Ye Qiu went bananas when he had heard her.

“We Sovereign Soul Palace didn’t go against the Sacred Inst.i.tute’s verdict!”

At this moment, a majestic Fire Kylin came in the air.

After getting enough attention, Xiao Hongxue showed up, wearing scarlet armor.

“On the contrary, it’s the Sacred Inst.i.tute who bullied us Sovereign Soul Palace!”

Xiao Hongxue came with good preparation. He sounded righteous.

“Why is that?” Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.

“What Jiang Chen did is unforgivable for us Sovereign Soul Palace. Even if he dies thousands of times, we still won’t be able to vent our anger.”

“Long Xing, my grandmaster, a legend of the world, spent his whole life in protecting the world. But in the end, this was what he got!”

“But him, Jiang Chen? You refused to kill him. Okay! We Sovereign Soul Palace didn’t insist. But in the end, you exiled him without forcing him to take a blood oath? I would like to ask the Sacred Inst.i.tute: do you think what you did is fair?!” said Xiao Hongxue in one breath.

Ye Qiu was caught off-guard by his rapid-fire accusation.

Others on the scene nodded involuntarily. The Sacred Inst.i.tute had been too tolerant to Jiang Chen indeed.

“Jiang Chen didn’t want to take a blood oath. What could we do? Force him to take one?”

“Besides, we didn’t kill him because Long Xing’s death wasn’t really caused by Jiang Chen. Please don’t muddy the water!” Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster refuted.

“Hahaha, great. Wasn’t really caused by him. Anyway, the Sacred Inst.i.tute is hoodwinking the public. I’m just speechless.”

“However, without a blood oath, we Sovereign Soul Palace have the right to kill Jiang Chen.”

“As soon as he entered the Planes’ Channel, he left the Boundless Continent. On what basis are you Sacred Inst.i.tute still stopping us Sovereign Soul Palace from getting revenge?”

Everyone was shocked by Xiao Hongxue’s argument.

Exactly. Jiang Chen already left the Boundless Continent as soon as he entered the Planes’ Channel.

The Sacred Inst.i.tute had finished its job. It did not have any right to stop the Sovereign Soul Palace anymore.

What remained unsettled was between the Red Cloud Venerable and the Sovereign Soul Palace.

“Please step aside and let me revenge my master!”

Chu Tianfeng ran between Ye Qiu and Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster with his people, who had been stopped.

A few more Star-smas.h.i.+ng Flowing Light b.a.l.l.s appeared in his hand.

Stepping Heavenward Venerable Monster wanted to stop him, but Ye Qiu told him not to helplessly.

“They will destroy the Planes’ Channel!”

“This channel was naturally formed. Even if it’s destroyed, it will recover some days later.”

“But Jiang Chen will be smashed into powder in it.”

Others were discussing in a low voice. There were people with all kinds of thoughts.

“How dare you!”

Xiao Nuo realized she was the only one who would help Jiang Chen, but her resolution was not shaken.

“Huh, hateful. You see, I’m the only one who is still fighting for you. Your seniors won’t be of any help at all.”

Xiao Nuo decided to mock Jiang Chen when she saw him next time.

However, at the thought of the current situation, she concentrated and ran towards the Sovereign Soul Palace.

“b.i.t.c.h!”

The old woman certainly would not let her succeed. She threw her iron cane over hard.

“No, you are the b.i.t.c.h, grandma!”

Xiao Nuo swore at her. She unsheathed her sword. She knew she should get rid of this old woman first.

But since they were both world-cla.s.s strong people, the fight certainly would not end quickly.

Even though there was a gap between their ranks, neither of them could kill the other in one second.

“The power of the Sovereign Soul Palace is beyond your imagination. You fighting us alone is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.”

The old woman looked old, but she was even braver and more ferocious than Xiao Nuo in the fight. She confronted Xiao Nuo head-on without any defense.

Xiao Nuo suddenly sensed something. She showed a cold smile. “Did I say I’m alone?”

“Stop being so mysterious. You are the only strong one of our level across the Heavenly Palace and the Celestial Palace. As to those who owe Jiang Chen a favor, they can’t, and they won’t do anything in a life-or-death fight!”

The old woman sounded very convincing as if she was sure she would win.

“Not necessarily.” Xiao Nuo showed a smile that looked very similar to Jiang Chen’s.

Under the old woman’s confused gaze, a tiger growl shook the world. It was like sudden thunder.

“Who has the nerve to hurt my elder brother?!”
