Chapter 361 – Qiu Tianba
“Young master? Looks like brother Jiu really is the Martial Palace’s Palace Chief.”
Han Yan said with mixed emotions. Although they had guessed this to be true, it was completely different when actually confirming their belief. For Jiang Chen and his friends, the more prestigious Wu Jiu’s status was, the better it was for them. Therefore, the status of Ninth Emperor and Palace Chief was more than enough for them.
“I’m Jiang Chen, Wu Lang’s friend.”
Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
“Jiang Chen?”
The leader furrowed his brows, as if he had heard this name somewhere before, and it was really familiar to him. But, for some reason, he just couldn’t recall where he had heard it. At the same time, the other three guards wore the same blurred expressions on their faces.
But, their blurry expressions only existed for a short moment, then all of them opened their eyes widely.
“Jiang Chen! You’re that Jiang Chen?!”
The leader instantly exclaimed, “The Jiang Chen who killed those geniuses from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect on the Island of Ice, and defeated Wu Cong?”
“That’s me.”
Jiang Chen responded with a smile. Since he was now at the Martial Palace, there was no need for him to hide his identity any longer.
“Chief, he is right, look at that dog! It’s rare to see such a majestic looking dog, he is definitely Jiang Chen!”
“We can’t afford to offend him!”
“Young master has already given his order, if Jiang Chen comes here, we are to let him come in.”
The guards were whispering at each other. Now, there were no one who didn’t know about Jiang Chen’s ferocious reputation. What happened on the Island of Ice had spread throughout the entire Eastern Continent, including the Martial Palace.
“So, it is young master Jiang Chen, please pardon our ignorance. Young palace chief has previously ordered us, if young master Jiang Chen comes here, we are to let you pass. Please come this way, young master Jiang Chen.”
The guard leader made a welcoming gesture at Jiang Chen. He dared not be as arrogant as before any longer. Of course, he was facing a ferocious man, a man who would even kill the father of the Heavens if pushed too hard. He just didn’t have the guts to offend him.
Not only that, Jiang Chen was the friend of their young palace chief, and the young palace chief had told them that if Jiang Chen came here, no one was allowed to block him.
Jiang Chen replied with a smile, then he continued walking toward the inner area of the Martial Palace. But, after just two steps, he turned around and looked at the leader, then asked, “What’s your name?”
Hearing this question, the leader started trembling out of fear. He thought Jiang Chen was offended because of his earlier actions, and was asking his name to complain to the young palace chief. If the young palace chief really wanted to punish him, he would be deader than dead meat even if he had eight heads.
The man felt really regretful right now, but he still replied honestly, “Young master Jiang Chen, my name is Niu Er.”
Ugh…
The group was startled.
“What an amazing name, Niu Er! I need your help right now, bring me to where Yu Zihan and Guan Yiyun are staying, this Earth Restoration Pill is your reward.”
Jiang Chen casually tossed an Earth Restoration Pill into Niu Er’s palm, causing Niu Er’s eyes to instantly widen. He felt as if money had just fallen down from the sky, instantly causing his mind to blur.
Niu Er was only a Mid Divine Core warrior, and that could only give him a guard position in the Martial Palace, and there was no way he could be compare to all those genius disciples. Indeed, the Martial Palace was rich in cultivation resources, but the best resources were all prepared for those who came from powerful backgrounds, and they weren’t related to Niu Er. To a Divine Core warrior like him, an Earth Restoration Pill wasn’t something that precious, but no matter what, it was equal to ten thousand Mortal Restoration Pills. Furthermore, what Jiang Chen asked him to do was an easy task, he would do it even without any rewards.
Even more relieving for Niu Er was the fact that Jiang Chen hadn’t asked his name in order to complain to the young palace chief.
“As the Martial Palace’s guard, I know exactly where all those genius disciples stay. Yu Zihan, Guan Yiyun, and Tian Yishan came here three months ago, and I know where they’re staying.”
Niu Er patted his chest as he spoke. After that, he led Jiang Chen further into the Martial Palace region.
