Where the Sacred Institute was located was the center of the Realm of Milky, like the Dragon Field was in the Realm of Nine Heavens .
However, the naming system of the Realm of Milky was different . The names didn't end with "field," but with "state . "
Jiang Chen was currently in the Middle State . Tai Yue School was the top force here .
"You killed a disciple of the Tai Yue School . They won't let you go . In the Middle State, some places are governed by the Tai Yue School, and others are out of the reach of the school . " Upon seeing that he knew nothing of this, an idea occurred to Meng Shuiyan .
"What are you implying?" Jiang Chen found it funny .
"Let's act together . The Tai Yue School is chasing me anyway," said Meng Shuiyan .
Jiang Chen glanced at her . His look was so sharp that it seemed like he intended to see her through .
"I killed him because of you . You want my protection, don't you?"
Meng Shuiyan wasn't embarrassed, although Jiang Chen had bluntly pointed out her intention . Grinning instead, she said, "But it's not completely because of me . Will you act with me or not? Without me leading the way, you might fly towards the gate of the Tai Yue School without knowing it . "
"Why shouldn't I just kill you here and get rid of the only witness of the whole thing?" Jiang Chen said coldly .
Meng Feiyan's petty trick failed in the face of Jiang Chen's killing intent .
She realized this guy might have been more dreadful than Hu Fei .
"Search Hu Fei's dead body . You'll find a broken jade pendant . This is the last resort of the Tai Yue School's disciples . They send back the killer's information before death . "

Jiang Chen was dubious . He sought Hu Fei's corpse and actually found a jade pendant .
"All big forces use this method . Killing you at all costs is the only way to maintain their reputation," said Meng Shuiyan .
"Lead the way . "
Jiang Chen knew all that she had said was actually possible, so he had to let her lead the way .
"Let's go . " Meng Shuiyan didn't want to waste even a second . She flew into the air first .
Jiang Chen followed . When they had reached a certain height, he couldn't help but look back at the ruins of the Sacred Institute .
He could vaguely see the traces of its glory days . He felt worried about the institute in the Realm of Nine Heavens . Would it end up the same way?
"It's useless to look at it . The ruins have been rummaged through I don't know how many times . Everything remotely related to treasure has been taken," Meng Shuiyan said . She had apparently misunderstood his reaction .
Jiang Chen was too upset to answer her . He was thinking of how he could save the Dragon Field .
For the moment, the only plausible way was to rely on practicing, but it would take a long time .
He had thought about seeking help from big forces in the Middle State .
He had countless martial arts skills, panacea recipes, and casting methods of all kinds of lost arts .
However, those groups could steal them from him when they saw he wasn't even a Venerable .

Most importantly, he learned that those forces had reached their current positions by overturning the Sacred Institute of the Realm of Milky .
If he asked them to help the Sacred Institute of the Realm of Nine Heavens, it would be like a slap in their faces .
Thinking it over and over again, Jiang Chen couldn't find a better way .
At the same time, over the ruins of the Sacred Institute of the Realm of Milky, figures flew over from all directions and stopped beside Hu Fei's dead body .
"Killed in one sword attack . "
"Hu Fei wasn't even able to fight back . His rival was great!"
"It couldn't have been Meng Shuiyan . She must have a helper!"
All these people were in the same clothes as Hu Fei . It was the disciple uniform of the Tai Yue School .
"But her helper might be a Venerable . Should we chase them?"
These disciples of the Tai Yue School were angry, but they hadn't lost their heads . They were calm instead .
"No, not a Venerable," a cold voice said from overhead . The voice said, "Chase them separately . Don't rush to attack when you catch up with them . Notify me first . "
It was a woman, elegant and refined, with smooth and fair skin . Her slanted eyes looked cold .
"Apprentice Sister Li!"

The other disciples of the Tai Yue School eased up and stopped hesitating after receiving her instructions . They started their chase .
The apprentice sister they had called wasn't in a hurry . Gazing at the fatal sword wound on Hu Fei's corpse, she was lost in thought .
On the other hand, Jiang Chen came to learn more things about the Middle State from Meng Shuiyan during their getaway .
Not many forces in the Middle State were powerful and worth mentioning . There were less than ten .
They were the Three Great Dynasties, the Three Great Schools and the Three Great Families .
These nine forces had collaborated and attacked the Sacred City on an unexpected day . They had destroyed the sacred place, which was a symbol of the protection of human beings .
Although they had suffered great losses as well, through sustaining wars, what they had taken from the Sacred Institute had bolstered their current mightiness .
Nowadays, there were checks and balances, allies and hatred among the nine forces .
The hatred came into existence since they had divided the resources of the Sacred Institute .
Some people had died when the Tai Yue School and the Infinite Sword School were fighting for a martial arts skill . They were still enemies to that day .
The two were going to the Infinite Sword School to hide from the Tai Yue School .
Something suddenly occurred to Meng Shuiyan . She asked immediately, "You know nothing about the Realm of Milky . I assume you came here from the Realm of True Force to escape the war there . "
"You know everything, don't you?" Jiang Chen faked a cold smile, as if what she had said was true .
Meng Shuiyan couldn't help but say, "That must be the case . You don't have to hide it from me . No one will accuse you for that . You're not the only one who's escaped . "
"You know of more?"
Jiang Chen was still confused about the Dragon Rebel Army, who had appeared out of nowhere .
"Yeah, the nine forces have accepted many refugees . They're also capturing people outside the Middle State to send them onto the battlefield!"
It seemed that something had occurred to her again . Shivering, she said, "It's said that dead bodies and blood are all over the battlefield . Reaching Heaven States are only cannon fodder there . Any genius could die from one bump, one exchange of blows . "
That was the one thing Jiang Chen had wanted to hear the least . He started to worry about the Fire Field . He had his family and many good friends there .
"Who are the fighting parties?" Jiang Chen asked .
"Eh?" Meng Shuiyan was surprised at his question . If he was from the Realm of True Force, he should have known that well .
"The Flying Dragon Dynasty and the Dragon Rebel Army, who call themselves the revolutionary army . "
All of a sudden, she looked around vigilantly . Then she said seriously, "They're coming . "
Jiang Chen was struck dumb . Compared to their chasers, he was more curious about Meng Shuiyan's reaction .
Her strength was weaker, but her holy awareness was sharper, and there was something odd about the energy she gave off subconsciously, but he couldn't explain it .
Before he could think these things through, the disciples of the Tai Yue School had arrived from all directions and surrounded them .
"Meng Shuiyan, due to the energy on you that's being emitted by the valuable treasure, which you stole from the Tai Yue School, you have no way to escape us . You'd better give in!" a disciple of the Tai Yue School shouted .
