Chapter 610 Defused (1/2)

In the town, countless gazes were cast towards the destroyed ruins of the manor. A different atmosphere took over the place when Jiang Taishen and Chu Qing appeared.

To think that the first and second rankers on the Chosen List were facing off.

Nothing more needed to be said about Jiang Taishen’s reputation in the Shengzhou Continent, which was built by the peerless battle accomplishments he had personally racked up.

Although Chu Qing had fewer battle accomplishments, he was still also a very well-known figure. Practically everyone in the Shengzhou Continent knew that the leader of the Cangxuan Sect Chosen was famously lazy…his first reaction to any trouble that came knocking at this door was to hastily run away instead of resolving it.

Of course, though he was infamous for being lazy, no one doubted Chu Qing’s strength.

He and Jiang Taishen had fought before, and although Jiang Taishen had ultimately emerged the victor, Chu Qing had managed to escape unscathed. In other words, Jiang Taishen had failed to put Chu Qing at his mercy.

From this, one could see just how strong Chu Qing was.

Countless people were naturally looking forward to seeing what would happen when the two most outstanding members amongst the younger generation of Cangxuan Heaven clashed.

Amidst the ruins of the manor.

Jiang Taishen’s long and narrow eyes turned into a line as he smiled slightly and gazed at Chu Qing, giving off a seemingly friendly feeling.

“Chu Qing, it’s truly rare to see you voluntarily pick a fight.”

Chu Qing stroked his handsome face as he covertly cast a glance at Yaoyao. He had no choice but to take action because she would definitely not give him peace if he instead chose to not act.

Moreover, though he was indeed very lazy, as the leader of the Cangxuan Sect Chosen, he could not possibly sit still and watch Jiang Taishen attempt to deal with Yaoyao.

“Jiang Taishen, follow me if you want to fight.” Chu Qing sighed.

Jiang Taishen smiled and said, “I honestly do want to fight you again, but now is not the time…Chu Qing, the Chosen of the various sects are currently trying to open up a path into the deeper areas of the Great Mythic Mountain Range, and the situation will only turn chaotic if we were to fight. If that were to happen, it will become more difficult to attain the greatest blessing hidden in the deepest area of the Great Mythic Mountain Range.

“As such, I suggest that both of us take a step back today and forge a temporary truce. How does that sound to you?

“After all, if you do want to fight, I believe the Sacred Palace will more than satisfy all of you when the time is right,” said Jiang Taishen in a meaningful manner.

Chu Qing beamed and said, “The best outcome is for you guys to admit defeat.”

Jiang Taishen shook his head. “I’m not admitting defeat, but suggesting we both take a step back on this matter.”

Chu Qing nonchalantly said, “Same thing.”

The corners of Jiang Taishen’s lips twitched slightly. Chu Qing was becoming increasingly proficient at his annoying provocations.

Chu Qing turned his head, looking towards Yaoyao as he revealed a kindly smile. “Junior sister Xiaoyao, see? They’ve already admitted defeat, let’s forgive them this once.”

Yaoyao swept an indifferent glance at him. “And if I say no?”

Chu Qing thumped his chest and declared, “If you say no, we’ll fight!”

“Then fight,” said Yaoyao.

Chu Qing’s expression froze for a moment before a bitter look rose on his face. All the factions had come to a temporary agreement to first overcome the Great Mythic Mountain Range, and had thus called a truce between the many Chosen. Anyone who broke it would likely draw the wrath of the majority.

While Chu Qing was at his wits end, Zhou Yuan appeared beside Yaoyao. Gazing at her, he said, “Let’s drop this matter for now.”
