Azure Demon was set up, too. After his death, his soul was hiding in a hunting

lodge in the mountains, waiting for an appropriate man to appear so that he

could seize this man’s body.

He didn’t leave there until he met Jiang Chen. By then 1000 years had

pa.s.sed. Things were still there, but men were not.

The whole Azure Gang was gone. His enemy could have died, too.

Although Azure Demon didn’t show up, Jiang Chen could empathize with him.

For Azure Demon, it was 1000 years, while for him , it was 500.

He was wondering whether he would have the same feeling when he went

back to the Sacred Zone again. By then the Over Cloud Palace would have

been gone. So would the people he was looking for.

The mere thought of that put him panicked. He looked pale.

As smart as Tang s.h.i.+ya and Tang Ru’er, they didn’t disturb him.

Don’t know how long had pa.s.sed, the three felt a chilly wind coming

headlong. And they smelt blood in the air.

They put on guard immediately. Looking around, soon they saw a flock of

birds flying over from not far away. The dense ma.s.s of them froze their blood.

“b.l.o.o.d.y crows! Sister s.h.i.+ya, run!” Tang Ru’er shouted.

“Don’t let the b.l.o.o.d.y crows surround you.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya told Jiang Chen, looking for a place to hide in.

If they escaped through the air, they could choose any direction and any

alt.i.tude.

However, Tang s.h.i.+ya looked like she was in a pickle. Tang Ru’er was even

more anxious.

Jiang Chen saw there were not only b.l.o.o.d.y crows ahead, but also in other two

directions. These birds seemed to intend to surround them, as if they knew

tactics.

The only direction free of the b.l.o.o.d.y crows led to a mountain forest. The

highest mountain there was only hundreds of meters high.

But Tang s.h.i.+ya hesitated, because there was a dreadful holy-level fierce

beast in that forest.

If they flew over it, the fierce beast would definitely chase them.

“These b.l.o.o.d.y crows don’t seem very formidable. Let’s break out of the

encirclement,” Jiang Chen proposed.

“There is something you don’t know. These b.l.o.o.d.y crows are very dreadful.

They suck people’s essence blood. Once you get entangled by them, you’ll

die in one minute.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya didn’t agree. She said, “We should either fly very high or find a

cave on the ground.”

Jiang Chen didn’t see why. Two of them were Martial Venerables. They

shouldn’t have panicked like this.

And he really didn’t think those b.l.o.o.d.y crows were strong.

The same size as normal crows, they had black feathers and small red eyes,

which looked ferocious.

The front end of their beaks, which looked like ebony, was extremely sharp.

“No practicers below Spiritual Venerable level can deal with such a great

amount of b.l.o.o.d.y crows, unless they’re good at the conception of fire.”

Tang Ru’er explained. She knew he was puzzled.

“Well, I’m good at the conception of fire. Let me handle them,” Jiang Chen

said.

“Really?”

“And you must achieve the great doctrine of fire!”

Tang s.h.i.+ya and Tang Ru’er reacted pretty much the same. They remembered

Jiang Chen hadn’t used any fire in the fight against Xu Guan.

“Don’t worry.”

Jiang Chen raised his right arm high. Palm up, he looked as if he was lifting

something. Soon, a hot wave started to whirl, with his hand as the center, and

started to spread fast.

Although the two sisters didn’t see any flames, they felt it was getting hotter

and hotter.

The thousands of b.l.o.o.d.y crows were approaching. They kept hearing the

fluttering sound of the crows’ wings and their chirps.

Tang s.h.i.+ya made up her mind, if Jiang Chen didn’t do anything, she would do

something.

Right at that moment, a small flame rose from Jiang Chen’s palm.

A fire dragon rose in the hot wave. The orange flame was very dense, like a

wall.

It was formidable. As soon as the b.l.o.o.d.y crows made contact with it, they

disappeared immediately.

The sky full of the dense ma.s.s of crows cleared up instantly. The remaining

b.l.o.o.d.y crows fled away. They were too few to be threatening.

“Fortunately.”

Tang Ru’er patted her plump chest, feeling relieved.

“Thank you.”

Tang s.h.i.+ya expressed her grat.i.tude. She said, “You might not know how

strong those b.l.o.o.d.y crows are. Fire is almost the only effective way to get rid

of them. Once surrounded by these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you’ll be killed in only one

minute, just like how ants plod away at an elephant.”

“Do people run into them frequently?” Jiang Chen asked out of curious, not

very interested in what Tang s.h.i.+ya had told him.

“No. Actually you don’t run into them a lot. And usually you’ll be able to run

away.”

Speaking of this, Tang s.h.i.+ya felt puzzled, too. She said with hesitation, “I’ve

never heard about the situation like today, that they surrounded people from

three directions.”

At this moment, the three noticed a group of practicers were approaching

them from not far way. There were eight people, all Martial Venerables.

“What happened?”

The leader was a strong man. He had light brown skin and thick brows.

It seemed he had been attracted here by the disturbance of just now. He was

pleasantly surprised when he had seen Tang s.h.i.+ya.

“Apprentice Sister s.h.i.+ya, it’s you! What a surprise to see you here,” the man

said excitedly.

“Yeah, Apprentice Brother He.” Tang s.h.i.+ya didn’t seem very glad. She was

even a bit cold.

Apprentice Brother He seemed used to that. Still smiling, he laid his eyes on

Jiang Chen. He asked, “This is…?”

“A friend.” Tang s.h.i.+ya didn’t tell him more.

“How did you know each other? I didn’t know you had such a friend,”

Apprentice Brother He said.

His response was annoying. Tang s.h.i.+ya apparently furrowed. She didn’t want

to answer him at all.

“We knew this brother for business matters. We’re traveling together because

the account hasn’t been settled,” Tang Ru’er said unconcernedly. She didn’t

seem to have noticed those details, but a cunning look flashed across her

eyes.

“What a big deal. How much is that? Just tell me,” Apprentice Brother He said

generously.

“About 200 million upper-grade yuan stones,” Tang s.h.i.+ya said unhappily.

Apprentice Brother He and those with him all turned pale. They were

obviously shocked.

“Apprentice Sister s.h.i.+ya, what did you buy? Is he a conman?” Apprentice

Brother He threw Jiang Chen a skeptical look, and he didn’t sound he was

afraid of anyone.

“No, it’s not like that. He bought something from me and I don’t have the

change for him,” Tang s.h.i.+ya said.

“This…”

Apprentice Brother He was embarra.s.sed again, but he didn’t blame Tang

s.h.i.+ya. Instead, he was looking at Jiang Chen in a more and more unkind

manner.

“Apprentice Sister s.h.i.+ya, this guy doesn’t look like a good person. He looks

rich, but who knows where his money is from,” Apprentice Brother He said in

a sarcastic tone.

“Haha.”

Jiang Chen burst out laughing instead of getting angry.

“What are you laughing at?!” Apprentice Brother He said in anger.

“You tried to be generous, but failed. Then you started to talk aimlessly. And

now you even said such a shameless thing. Do you think you can get a pretty

woman in this way? Aren’t you crying for the moon?”

In Jiang Chen’s eyes, this guy was like a clown.

“You!” Apprentice Brother He didn’t expect him to have the nerve to refute.

Didn’t he see so many people were standing behind him?

“Apprentice Brother He, we’re leaving if everything is fine here.” Tang s.h.i.+ya

didn’t want to lose face in Jiang Chen’s presence.

“Apprentice sister, I’m thinking for your sake. I don’t want this Adonis to cheat

you. He doesn’t look like a good man,” Apprentice Brother He said nervously.

“What does a good man do? To send the b.l.o.o.d.y crows to attack and then

pretend to be the hero?”
