Chapter 406 – Leaving Gracefully (1/2)

Sorry for the late release! I will make up for it with a bonus chapter later this week, for a total of six chapters instead of five!

Chapter 406 – Leaving Gracefully

These three demon souls were no ordinary demon souls, they all came from Late Combat Soul demons. They could bring Jiang Chen an incredible improvement to his cultivation. Together with the thunder’s force, if Jiang Chen completely absorbed all three of them, he might be able to form another 1,000 Dragon Marks, and once the Heavenly Tribulation came to an end, Jiang Chen would have a total of 7,000 Dragon Marks in his body.

Since his foundation was very powerful at the moment, Jiang Chen wasn’t worried that his foundation would receive negative side effects from absorbing these demon souls. Therefore, without hesitating, he immediately absorbed all three demon souls.

The city was deadly quiet. Everyone was staring at the lightning sea without speaking a single word. They were hoping to see the white-clothed youngster once more. Although they didn’t know him before today’s events, he had saved all their lives. Therefore, they hoped this young man could survive the deadly Heavenly Tribulation.

Besides that, it was great to know that there was a heavenly-defying genius on the human side. With this amazing expert, the demons were definitely going to suffer a heavy blow in the future.

“Where exactly did this genius come from? He is such an amazing warrior, so why have we never heard of him before?”

Shan Ying said, shocked.

“He saved all of us.”

Wu Ningzhu said. For the first time, a soft and gentle look emerged in her eyes.

A couple of minutes later, the lightning sea had finally disappeared, revealing the youngster to the crowd. This youngster was no longer in his previous chaotic state; he was actually brimming with energy, looking much better than he previously did.

Good!

All humans in the Dancing Sun City burst into cheers upon seeing this. Even Wu Ningzhu had a smile on her face. Underneath her black veil, a spectacular smile bloomed onto her face. Her breathtaking face seemed capable of melting a glacier.

Wu Ningzhu and Shan Ying both started moving toward Jiang Chen. However, before they could say anything, Jiang Chen turned into a white beam and disappeared into the far distance. He left in a graceful manner.

Ugh…

Wu Ningzhu and Shan Ying were startled. They didn’t expect this young man to act in such an eccentric way. After doing such a great thing for the people here, he didn’t give them any chance to show their gratitude. He simply turned around and left in a graceful manner.

“What an amazing young man.”

Shan Ying couldn’t help but praise. He wasn’t too surprised by the sudden departure of this youngster. If the young man truly wished to show himself, he wouldn’t have covered his face with that golden light. He obviously didn’t wish for anyone to know his real identity.

“What a pity, we’ve missed a great opportunity to build a relationship with this man. It would be great if he could join the Profound River Palace.”

Shan Ying shook his head.

On the other side, Wu Ningzhu was frowning. She couldn’t help but complain about that young man. All men started drooling upon seeing her breathtaking appearance, and countless geniuses in the Profound River Palace were constantly seeking ways to get closer to her. However, when that white-clothed youngster saw her approaching, he simply turned around and left. What did this mean? Did it mean that she simply wasn’t attractive enough?

“That damn scoundrel, how dare he ignore me?”

Underneath her black veil, Wu Ningzhu’s cherry lips had curled up. Little to her knowledge, this white-clothed young man had already occupied a very special position in her heart. For the first time, Wu Ningzhu was interested in seeing a man’s face. She really wanted to know what face was hidden underneath the golden light.

“Sigh… The hero has left, we didn’t even have the chance to thank him.”

“I wonder what his background is. He just left right after saving the city; he didn’t even ask for anything in return.”

“He is a true hero! His heroic image will star eternally in my heart!”

…………

All the people in the city were overwhelmed by Jiang Chen’s kindness. Some even kneeled down and kowtowed in the direction where Jiang Chen had disappeared with utmost sincerity.

Not long after Jiang Chen left, a few powerful men arrived at the city. None of these men were weaker than Shan Ying; they were all Late Combat Soul warriors from the Profound River Palace.

When Jiang Chen attracted Heavenly Tribulation and broke the defense mechanism that isolated the Dancing Sun City, the loud noise caused by the war was immediately heard by many. The Profound River Palace knew that today was the day where the Wu family was holding their ancestral worshipping ceremony. Therefore, when they found out there was a war here, they immediately sent their mighty warriors here.

The expressions of these few men changed upon seeing the miserable state of the city. They immediately went over to Wu Ningzhu and Shan Ying, then an old man who seemed to be the leader asked, “Ning’er, what’s going on here?”

“Elder Liu, before all of you arrived, the Demon King Palace launched a surprise attack on this city. They completely sealed up the entire city so that no one on the outside could know what was going on inside. Four of the great guardians brought an army of demons here to slaughter all living humans.”

Wu Ningzhu said.
