Jiang Zhenhai was crystal clear about the reason Jiang Chen let him stay here. It was for the sake of his own safety. With his present strength, he would only be a liability if he followed his son He didn’t wish to see Jiang Chen split his attention just to take care of him.

After bidding goodbye to Jiang Zhenhai, Jiang Chen and Yan Chenyu headed back for Ethereal Immortal Domain. Their speed was extremely fast, a lot faster compared to the time when Jiang Chen travelled to Fengchi Immortal Domain for the first time.

Soon, the both of them flew out of the zone of Fengchi Immortal Domain. They were traveling in the interior of the void where the turbulent current couldn’t hinder them in the slightest.

*Hong Long……*

Suddenly, something exploded ahead of them before a giant hand materialized. Confining more than a thousand miles of the sky, it hurtled towards Jiang Chen as though Jiang Chen was its main target.

This was a simple strike, however it bore unparalleled killing intent. It was imaginable that the attacker wanted to kill Jiang Chen with this single strike.

Jiang Chen’s facial expression remained unchanged. He didn’t care to guess why the person wanted to kill him as there had been too many in the Immortal World who wanted him dead.

“Humph!”

Yan Chenyu harrumphed coldly and waved out a stream of icy light, instantly shattering the enormous palm. As the saying went, a starved camel was still bigger than a horse. Although Yan Chenyu had suffered heavy injuries, she could still fight ordinary half-step Sovereigns. If she used the Immortal Burying Coffin, she could kill any half-step Sovereign with ease. Furthermore, the attacker’s cultivation base was below half-step Sovereign realm despite its thick murderous intent.

Furthermore, Yan Chenyu’s condition was recovering at a speed even faster than Nanbei Chao because of the Nine Yin Profound Heart and Ice God’s Heart.

“Who is it? Show yourself.” Jiang Chen shouted at the void.

“Jiang Chen, I have found you at last. I would like to see how you can run this time.”

A rough voice sounded. Then, a sturdy middle-aged man walked into their line of sight. There were waves swirling around his body and the qi emitted from him was formidable.

Jiang Chen looked at the man, with a face full of cold killing intent. The man wasn’t a stranger to him. It was Venerable Xuanfeng, Wang Xuanfeng, a peerless Venerable that had one of his legs stepped into the half-step Sovereign realm. He was supposed to be on par with Xiao Wangqing some time ago until Xiao Wangqing advanced to half-step Sovereign realm.

“Wang Xuanfeng,” Jiang Chen called out his name flatly.

“That’s right. It’s me, Jiang Chen. I have been looking for you.”

Wang Xuanfeng spoke coldly, not attempting to hide his intent to kill. He had been dejected that he wasn’t able to kill Jiang Chen that day because of Xiao Wangqing’s interference.

“You people of Immortal Court are truly brazen. Are you not afraid of Senior Xiao retaliating against you?” said Jiang Chen in a plain tone.

“Retaliate? Hehe! No one will know how you died and the one who killed you. Moreover, you have too high opinion of Xiao Wangqing. In front of the Immortal Court, Xiao Wangqing, despite being a half-step Sovereign, is merely an ant, and you must die for offending and violating the dignity of the Immortal Court. You should feel lucky that you would die under my hands.”

Wang Xuanfeng spoke fiercely. That day, Li Wangye and Xiao Wangqing had reached an agreement, making impossible for all the higher ups of the Immortal Court to attack Jiang Chen. The unfortunate thing was that Jiang Chen was still alive after that and had been growing stronger, causing the Immortal Court to lose more of their geniuses. In order to stop Jiang Chen’s growth, Li Wangye had decided to kill Jiang Chen secretly. Which was why he had sent Wang Xuanfeng to track down Jiang Chen. As soon as Wang Xuanfeng found Jiang Chen, he would eliminate the threat.

However, it was already too late for Li Wangye to find Jiang Chen and the timing wasn’t right either. His action to kill Jiang Chen now was no different than seeking death. If he knew that Empress Nine Yin was standing by Jiang Chen’s side, it was afraid that he wouldn’t even dare to cast a second glance before leaving.
