Chapter 188 – Martial Palace (2/2)

“Big Yellow, the trip to Inferno Hell is extremely dangerous; you can choose not to follow me, I won’t force you.”

Jiang Chen looked at Big Yellow as he spoke.

“Damn it, how could you leave me behind when going to such a dangerous place? Let me tell you this buddy, there is no way you can ditch me and go off by yourself! Daddy is going to this Inferno Hell with you no matter what!”

Big Yellow raised his prideful head and spoke with an arrogant tone.

“Haha, good!”

Jiang Chen burst out into laughter, and he felt somewhat touched in his heart. Although his and Big Yellow’s relationship had started after an intense fight, after spending so much time together and having gone through so many events, they had built a deep relationship. No matter what Jiang Chen was going to do, no matter how dangerous it seemed, Big Yellow always willingly followed him. From killing Lord Blood Moon to Firethorn Savage, Big Yellow had always been a great help.

Besides, when this dog followed him, the help he provided was enormous.

After settling his matters with Yan Chenyu, Jiang Chen could finally have a peace of mind; he felt relaxed at last. The same night, outside of Guo Shan’s herb plantation, Jiang Chen, Guo Shan and Big Yellow sat around a stone table, drinking together. And of course, they were drinking the best wine that Guo Shan had brewed.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figured descended from the skies above and appeared next to the table. The man didn’t show any formality, he just sat down and grabbed the wine pot, then he drained it with one gulp.

“Sect Chief, this is so rude of you, you didn’t even ask me for permission; that wine was mine.”

Guo Shan mockingly said. The man who suddenly arrived was the Black Sect’s Sect Chief, Daoist Black.

“What? Daddy only drank a mouthful of your wine, how could you be so stingy?”

It was rare for Daoist Black to be so gracious.

“I’m sure Sect Chief is here for a reason.”

Jiang Chen said as he cupped his fist towards Daoist Black.

“Indeed, I’m here to inform you about something, it will give you a sense of crisis.”

Daoist Black said as he looked at Jiang Chen.

“Sense of crisis? I suppose it is related to Nanbei Chao?”

Jiang Chen was a brilliant man, something that could attract Daoist Black’s attention and was related to Jiang Chen, it must be something related to Nanbei Chao.

“That’s right. I just got some news saying Nanbei Chao has broken through to the Divine Core realm. This isn’t what’s special, the important part is that he has been chosen by the Martial Palace, and is now a disciple of the Martial Palace.”

When mentioning the Martial Palace, Daoist Black couldn’t help but express a slight hint of respect on his face.

“What? Nanbei Chao was chosen by the Martial Palace?!”

Guo Shan exclaimed as if he had just heard something really shocking.

With a puzzled expression, Jiang Chen asked, “Martial Palace, what’s that?”

“Jiang Chen, it looks like you don’t have much knowledge about the distribution of powers in the Eastern Continent. Do you know anything about the Martial Saint Dynasty?”

Daoist Black asked.

Jiang Chen shook his head. He had never heard about the Martial Saint Dynasty before. Since he ventured from Red City, through Origin Mountain, and into the Qi Province, he hadn’t made any other stops. There were a total of 28 provinces in the Eastern Continent, and there were many powerful sects and clans with complicated relationships. He was not familiar with any of them at all.

“Younger brother, the Martial Saint Dynasty is the giant of the Eastern Continent. You could say that they’re the power who rules the entire Eastern Continent. The Martial Palace was established by the Martial Saint Dynasty, and its purpose is to cultivate all geniuses amongst every single province in the Eastern Continent.

Guo Shan explained.

“I see. With Nanbei Chao’s talent and potential, it’s only natural for him to be chosen by the Martial Palace. Oh right, since this Martial Saint Dynasty rules the entire Eastern Continent, I suppose the Qi Province is ruled by it as well… But why has nobody mentioned it before?”

Jiang Chen asked.

“It’s a shame, actually. The Qi Province is one of the weakest provinces in the Eastern Continent, and the Martial Saint Dynasty has never taken us seriously. In fact, none of the big sects in the Qi Province are even qualified to be ruled by the Martial Saint Dynasty. There are quite a few geniuses from the four big sects, and all of them broke through to the Divine Core realm before they became 30 years old and became core disciples, but none of them ever attracted the Martial Saint Dynasty’s attention. Therefore, they could only journey into more powerful provinces to train themselves further. It’s the first time in history that the Martial Saint Dynasty came to the Qi Province to invite Nanbei Chao to become their disciple; this really proves how incredible Nanbei Chao’s potential is. Right now, Nanbei Chao has broken through to the Divine Core realm, and the pressure on you has become larger.”

Daoist Black said with a worried tone. Nanbei Chao was the first man from the Qi Province to become a disciple of the Martial Saint Dynasty. His existence was not only a threat to Jiang Chen, he also posed a threat to all the other 3 big sects in the Qi Province. It would just take him a few years before the current situation in the Qi Province changed completely.
