Chapter 85: The Vermilion Bird City

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The disturbance of the day finally ended as the disciples and the elders left. Calm was restored to the Redcloud Peak.

However, the whole Natural Law School was shocked by the affair.

Jiang Chen became famous because of this fight. Although many people had heard of him before, it was due to the trouble between Ning Haotian and him. He was pitied by those people.

They were even betting secretly how long he could stay in the school.

But Jiang Chen’s fight with Li Qin and Elder An had proved his toughness to the whole world.

The name of his peak became known throughout the whole school quickly.

The Redcloud Peak had well earned its reputation thanks to the grand formation that was able to defend against attacks from the Mental Wander State and the Reaching Heaven State.

Some people had changed their opinions about Jiang Chen, regarding him as a black horse. They believed he would go very far in the school. The war between Ning Haotian and him would be one in which diamond cut diamond.

Such opinions were met with disdain. Jiang Chen might not be as weak and small as people had thought, but he was still too far away from Ning Haotian.

Most importantly, could he live long enough to fully develop himself?

After the fight, Li Qin had been wandering around the Redcloud Peak with a strong killing intent. Everyone knew what she was aiming for.

In the beginning, those of the Redcloud Peak were given a good scare.

But they soon discovered Li Qin wasn’t a threat to them, since she only had one target—Jiang Chen.

It wasn’t because Li Qin was extremely clear about who she loved and hated. Rather, it was because she didn’t want to be punished for killing an insignificant person.

Although she was a key disciple, if she killed people randomly, she would be punished.

And she didn’t want Jiang Chen to run away while she was being punished. She was resolute to kill Jiang Chen at the cost of her first punishment.

Many people would feel scared if they were Jiang Chen. Having a Mental Wander State with such a strong killing intent wandering about the house, they wouldn’t even be able to have a good sleep.

But Jiang Chen wasn’t frightened at all. Instead, he felt relaxed, because he was sure Li Qin couldn’t get in. If she dared intrude by force, he would kill her immediately.

“Jiang Chen, you can’t hide at the Redcloud Peak forever.”

Wen Xin and Meng Hao were more anxious than him. They were worried about him.

Jiang Chen let out a sigh and said, “She’s so determined to kill me because she knows I don’t have any background. Even if I die, she won’t be severely punished. But if I kill her, her master, Elder An, will definitely revenge her. Even if I don’t get expelled, I’ll suffer in another manner. ”

He wasn’t worried about his situation. Instead, he felt angry about the injustice.

“Isn’t Elder Mo Xu on your side? He’s a grand supreme elder!” Meng Hao said.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly. That grand supreme elder was a weirdo. He wouldn’t stand on anybody’s side.

He showed up that day because he had found the grand formation at the Redcloud Peak was very powerful. He came simply out of curiosity. He had defended Jiang Chen because he couldn’t put up with Li Qin and Elder An’s misdeeds.

Elder Mo Xu and he were indeed acquainted with each other, but he was too far away to be called for support.

Jiang Chen recalled what the Medicine Elder had told him and made a decision.

I’ll achieve the Mental Wander State and frustrate Li Qin so that I can get her number ten position on the talent list.

By then, the Medicine Elder would support him and he would gain a higher status in the school.

“Are you going to practice in isolation?” Wen Xin asked curiously.

“I’m still in the Gathering Yuan State. Seclusion isn’t for me. Three or four hours of practice a day will be my limit. Even if I spend the time left over studying swordsmanship, I’ll still have time to spare, so I’m going to go on an adventure. I won’t come back until I achieve the peak of the late stage,” Jiang Chen said.

“You’re leaving?” Meng Hao and Wen Xin looked at each other. They saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

Li Qin was waiting outside for such a chance. Wasn’t he playing with fire if he left at this moment?

“The grand formation is able to transport me out without leaving any traces. The thing is, I don’t know where to go yet. There’s no place for me in the territory of the dynasty,” Jiang Chen said.

The Hundred Thousand Mountains was surely not a challenge for him, while the other places were too dangerous for him.

“Go to the Vermilion Bird City. More than half of the schools’ tasks are performed there. I’ll go with you,” Wen Xin said.

“Count me in!” Meng Hao said immediately.

The Vermilion Bird City?

Jiang Chen kept his silence. He had heard of this place. It was outside of the Xia Dynasty.

There had been an ancient state called the Vermilion Bird State. Despite its small size, it was powerful. Then it collapsed for some unknown reason and had been history ever since.

The Vermilion Bird City had been the capital of the Vermilion Bird State. By then, when people had mentioned the Vermilion Bird City, they hadn’t simply meant the city, but the whole ancient country.

It became the first choice for disciples on adventures, because there was a rumor regarding its buried treasure.

It was said that when the country collapsed, the people there buried all their treasures underneath the ground for their descendents to discover.

But after so many years, no one had ever seen those legendary treasures. However, people had found a lot of practicing resources there and endless monsters and beasts.

There were all kinds of people living in the current Vermilion Bird City. It was a disordered place.

Many wanted criminals of the Xia Dynasty had fled there.

“In a word, when you get to the Vermilion Bird City, even if you don’t want any trouble, the trouble will come to you.”

“Then let’s go there.” Jiang Chen was a fighting genius. Of course he wanted more opportunities to fight.

“Meng Hao and I will take a look at the tasks. We can fulfill some of them while on the adventure.”

Wen Xin was firm. She left the Redcloud Peak with Meng Hao immediately.

Li Qin’s holy awareness shrouded the whole Redcloud Peak. When she detected anyone going in or out of the peak, she would come immediately.

But once she found out it wasn’t Jiang Chen, she would leave disappointedly.

“If we don’t get rid of this trouble, she might start a slaughter one day,” Wen Xin said, displeased.

“It’s said she and her brother were orphans. It’s true she could go too far,” Meng Hao said.

Wen Xin snorted and didn’t reply.

As for Jiang Chen, he told Fan Tu he was going to take an adventure, so he handed over control of the peak’s formation to Fan Tu.

At the same time, he told Fan Tu not to let the Jiang’s disciples leave the Redcloud Peak in a group.

Jiang Chen didn’t know when Li Qin would go crazy.

“Young lord, don’t worry about it. I’ll take charge of everything.”

With the help of sky-level martial arts methods and panaceas, Fan Tu had advanced a lot. He had achieved the completed late stage before Jiang Chen.

“I’ll help you remove all of the obstacles when I achieve the Mental Wander State!” Fan Tu said.

“I’m waiting for that day,” Jiang Chen smiled. When Wen Xin and Meng Hao returned, the three left the Redcloud Peak secretly under the cover of the formation.

When they were out of range of Li Qin’s holy awareness, the three left the school by airship.

However, the Natural Law School was big. Jiang Chen’s airship was recognized by someone else, and Li Qin got the news soon.

She hurried up, intending to catch up with him, but had no idea which direction he had gone.

Then, many disciples of the school saw Li Qin floating in the sky with a gloomy expression.

“Jiang Chen, I’ll make you pay the price!”

Something occurred to her suddenly. Then she set out in a certain direction.

Jiang Chen would be surprised if he had seen her, because she was heading for the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
