Jiang Chen did not have the time to choose which way to go . He just wanted to go as far away as possible .
The Buddha’s power aside, he was only a Martial Emperor . He absolutely could not resist a team composed of Martial Arts Saints .
Fortunately, only those three men were chasing him .
They were all as strong as the black-clothed man he had killed last time .
A bold idea occurred to him suddenly .
Previously, he had been able to use the Star Formation and the practicing body .
Now, however, he had three rivals . Jiang Chen had to plan it well .
On the other hand, Cao Ze and the others who were on the run gathered together soon .
“We must have stayed at that square for too long . ”
“We caught their attention from the very beginning . ”
“Maybe we have a traitor among us . ”
As soon as they met up, they started to complain . Although no great casualties had occurred, everyone felt frustrated .
“I’m sure it’s that Jiang Chen who sold us out . ” Seeing that Jiang Chen was not there, Xia Jiang started to slander him right away .
Murong Yanran’s pretty face looked unhappy . It was she who had brought Jiang Chen into the team . Was he implying she was also a traitor?
“In my opinion, it’s quite simple . We are just too noticeable,” said Jin Yuan .
“I agree . ”
Cao Ze nodded . He was a suspicious man . This was not a flaw, but it could be a disaster if he was indecisive too .
“Are you going to leave Jiang Chen behind?”
Xuan Qing, who had followed them, simply posed one question .
“The Demonic Abyss is too spacious . Now that we are scattered, it’s impossible to relocate him in a short time,” Murong Yanran stated the obvious truth .
“He doesn’t know the way . So you are fine with that, and are going to keep with the original plan, is that it?” Xuan Qing asked coldly .
Her accusation charged the air with awkwardness .
Those from the Demon Slayers Palace knew this descendant of the Empyrean Goddess had slipped into her old habits again . She was unusually straightforward and would say whatever she wanted to say regardless of the situation .
“We are not responsible for his safety . You can go if you are not happy with us,” Xia Jiang said, a little pissed off .
So Xuan Qing got ready to leave .
Murong Yanran stopped her right away . She said, “Even though you want to help, you don’t know where he is . So, what can you do if you leave?”
It made sense . Xuan Qing was so busy escaping she hadn’t noticed where Jiang Chen had gone .
“Didn’t Jiang Chen tell us he’d follow us? I think he’ll find a way to catch up with us,” Murong Yanran comforted Xuan Qing .
Actually, even she did not believe what she was saying .
She had assumed it was impossible for Jiang Chen to catch up with them .
If he was unlucky, he would die on the third level .
If he was lucky, he would be able to find his way to the teleportation room .
Even though he knew about the remnants of the Empyrean Goddess, he did not know where exactly the remnants were .
However, to her surprise, she persuaded Xuan Qing .
She struggled for a while and then nodded slightly .
Murong Yanran could not understand why she trusted Jiang Chen to such an extent, but she was happy to see Xuan Qing react in this way .
As for Jiang Chen, he was able to keep a distance from those who were chasing him, but he could not get rid of them .
He had planned to take advantage of demons to eliminate those three, just as he had done on the second level .
But unfortunately, that had happened at a secret location that only Xuan Qing knew .
There were no demons awake in this whole area, so he had to keep flying forward .
At the moment, it was very spacious here . Demons just would not appear in groups . Some group that showed up occasionally would just be in his way .
“How long do you think this guy can persist?”
“I suppose 15 minutes at most . ”
“Heh, heh, I really don’t see why he is so confident that he thinks he can run away from three Martial Arts Saints . ”
The three men who were following him were quite confident . Even though Jiang Chen was insanely fast, as long as they managed to follow him, they did not think there was any big problem .
“No . I can’t keep doing this . It won’t work . ”
Obviously, Jiang Chen had realized that too .
All of a sudden, he made up his mind . Seeing a dense forest down below, he charged down and flew into the forest at high speed .
Before the chasers could get down as well, Jiang Chen flew up again from the forest and away .
The three chasers wondered why Jiang Chen had made such an unnecessary effort, but seeing him flying farther on, they also hurried up to keep pace with him .
Soon, Jiang Chen stopped, gasping for air .
“Run! Why don’t you run anymore?”
The three chasers kept smiling coldly . They thought Jiang Chen was too exhausted to keep flying .
“By the way, why do you want to catch me?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen really did not think he deserved this . He said, “If I really knew anything, you think they would have retreated like that?”
The chasers exchanged a look . It sounded reasonable to them .
“It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with us chasing you . ”
“It’s our task to take you back . You understand?”
“If you give up resisting, it will save all of us a lot of trouble . ”
Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said with a small smile, “You are Martial Arts Saints . I’m only a Martial Emperor . What kind of trouble can I cause you?”
Then he lifted his defenses, as if he was waiting for them to catch him .
“Okay . It’s great you know that . You have really wasted a lot of our time . ”
The three chasers felt relieved, but they also felt angry at the same time . They were not being nice to Jiang Chen at all .
One of them took a step forward to teach Jiang Chen a lesson .
“If your leader wants to collaborate with me, I’ll make my decision based on what you do to me . ”
Jiang Chen spoke to them casually, as calm as always .
The man who was going to give him a beating was struck dumb . He struggled for some time and finally gave up his intention .
He went behind Jiang Chen to give the latter a hard push .
Surrounded by the three men, Jiang Chen was brought back to the mountains where the battle had been fought .
Ying Ying was not surprised at all to see Jiang Chen brought back .
In his opinion, it would be highly unusual if his men had failed to do that .
“If you had collaborated with us in the first place, nothing like this would have happened . ”
Ying Ying smiled coldly . He said proudly, “Tell me . What’s your task? You don’t like to suffer from pain, do you?”
“No one likes pain . I’ll tell you what I know,” said Jiang Chen .
“What’s your task?” Ying Ying asked loudly .
“The remnants of the Empyrean Goddess . ”
“What?!”
Jiang Chen’s answer seemed to be magic . It made Ying Ying and the others look shocked .
“Really?!” Ying Ying came up to Jiang Chen . A great pressure dashed toward Jiang Chen to shake him so that he would tell the truth .
“At least that’s what the disciples of the Demon Slayers Palace told me . ”
Jiang Chen answered him calmly, not affected by fear .
“Where are the remnants?”
Ying Ying took a deep breath to calm himself down . Only the excitement in his eyes told the true story .
“I have no idea . ”
Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed Ying Ying’s hideous look . He added, “If I really knew anything, they would not have left me behind like that . ”
Ying Ying nodded, seemingly pondering something . Then he said, “Tell me more details . ”
Jiang Chen did not try to conceal anything . He told Ying Ying all that he knew .
He did not have an obligation to keep the secret for those people, especially after they had abandoned him and left him alone .
“So, you, as a Buddhist disciple, your task was to empower them, wasn’t it?”
Ying Ying nodded . He said loudly, “Okay . Listen to me . From now on, you are working with a new group . ”
