Chapter 847
The ancient city was the center of the Sacred Territory . No one knew for exactly how long this city had existed, but it was spectacular . The magnificent, tall city wall was black, its metallic luster worn away by time, but it was still remarkable, and definitely worth paying attention to .

Gazing at the city standing within the walls, it looked like a giant beast settling down for a nap next to a mountain . Numerous marks on the city wall could be observed from the city gate . Some of them had been left by weapons, while others were scratches from animal paws . The wall was made of steel, but was not smooth or even . It was rough, but absolutely hard and solidly built . It was impossible for average people to leave marks on it .
According to historical records, the ancient city had been used to resist fierce beasts in ancient times . The ancient peoples had accomplished a remarkable feat in building it . Up until this day, it was still standing, and it had become a proud symbol .
Walking into the city, Jiang Chen had the same feeling he had had 500 years ago . He could sense what a long history this city had had from the atmosphere there . It was seeped in stories of long ago .
Jiang Chen involuntarily thought about his conversation with Azure Demon and the black dragon . Would human beings really experience a catastrophe? What he could see right now was peace . The local people were in the middle of a celebration . Enemies stopped fighting and came into the city to watch the fight among the best young geniuses .
Jiang Chen walked in the city aimlessly . The Title Palace was not in the ancient city, but the qualification battle would be held here . The Title Palace was not big enough to hold so many people . That was why there had to be a selection first via the qualification battle . Only 100 people would be qualified for the Title Battle in the end .
All of a sudden, Jiang Chen found his Cliff Mountain disciple token was slightly vibrating, reacting to something . Following the token as a guide, he came to a restaurant sitting high up almost atop the city walls .
“Sir, I’m sorry . The whole restaurant has been booked by Cliff Mountain . ” A waiter ran out to tell him .
“I’m a disciple of Cliff Mountain . ” Jiang Chen flashed his token before the waiter .
“Please come in! Young master, could you let me know your name?”
Cliff Mountain had prepared rooms for all of its disciples . They just had to give their names to check in .
“Jiang Chen . ”

The waiter was apparently petrified after hearing his name . He lifted his head, as if he could hardly believe what he had heard . He shouted out in surprise, “You’re the Jiang Chen?!”
His exclamation caught lots of people’s attentions . Most of the disciples of Cliff Mountain knew about Jiang Chen, but had never seen him .
“It’s him!”
“I can’t believe he has the nerve to come . ”
“He is stronger than when he killed Young Master Shenji . ”
The disciples of Cliff Mountain talked to each other in low voices .
The waiter came to himself . As pale as a ghost and sweating heavily, he said, “My bad! Young Master Chen, please don’t be angry with me . It wasn’t deliberate!”
Because of his reaction, many people had seen Jiang Chen . It was not a big problem, but the waiter was very scared .
“Are you afraid of me?” Seeing him behave like this, Jiang Chen, who had been unhappy with his reaction, was very curious . The waiter’s legs trembled so much that he almost knelt down .
Jiang Chen had shocked the whole world with his exploits during this time . What he had done was awe-inspiring . Many people admired him . He challenged the Jiangs first . Then he antagonized the Spirits . The death of Huo Lingtian especially caused a great disturbance .
They secretly called him Young Master Madness .

The waiter worshipped him as well for what he had done to resist the Spirits . However, seeing Jiang Chen face to face, the only thing that came to his mind was what a decisive killer Jiang Chen was . He had offended Jiang Chen . He could get himself killed for that .
Smiling bitterly, Jiang Chen said, “Show me the way to my room . ”
The waiter was struck dumb . He made an effort to walk, taking Jiang Chen upstairs .
Cliff Mountain was good to him—they had prepared a great room for his pleasure .
“You can go . Don’t be scared of me . I won’t eat you . ” Gazing at the jittery waiter, Jiang Chen tipped him some upper-grade yuan stones .
The waiter felt relieved . He took the yuan stones and closed the door for Jiang Chen . “The rumor isn’t true . He isn’t mad . ” The waiter found his worries were completely unnecessary .
Jiang Chen’s arrival spread all over the ancient city not long after he had checked in . As the man of the hour, it was difficult for him to keep a low profile . He caught people’s attention wherever he went .
Naturally, Fengyu Duo were his first visitors .
Jiang Chen said as soon as he saw them, “Congratulations on becoming Celestial Venerables!”
Fengyu Duo had become Celestial Venerables as they had wanted after practicing assiduously .
“But the gap between us is even bigger now . ” Zhou Jianfeng was as handsome and as elegant as always . He was confident in whatever he said or whatever he did . However, he felt kind of helpless facing Jiang Chen . What he said was true .

Martial arts practitioners were lonely when they had achieved the peak . If the gap was too huge, it would even subtly affect the relationship between family members; not to mention good friends . Jiang Chen had known many good people throughout his whole journey, but unfortunately, as his state enhanced, they just drifted apart .
“Miss Xiao… . ”
Jiang Chen detected something when he was about to salute her . His look instantly became sharper . Gazed at by him, Zhou Jianfeng and Xiao Yujian both lowered their heads involuntarily .
“Who did that to you?” Jiang Chen said in a cold voice .
Fengyu Duo were both heavily injured! How heavy were their injuries? Jiang Chen estimated they could not even take part in the qualification battle . Even if they could, there was no way they could win . Although these injuries were unobservable by the naked eye, as a doctor, Jiang Chen certainly could detect them .
“Jiang Chen, this is our business . Please stay out of it,” Zhou Jianfeng said with a helpless smile .
Jiang Chen knew he was a proud person, but for the moment he seemed so fragile . Jiang Chen felt pity for him . “Did I bring you trouble? Be honest with me . I’ll know sooner or later,” Jiang Chen asked . This was one of the reasons that he did not want to make many friends . Since he ran into danger constantly, he did not want to cause harm to others .
Fengyu Duo exchanged a look . They were going to tell him the truth . They had arrived in the ancient city a few days ago . When they entered the city, they ran into Wu Ziming from the Wind Spirit .
“You’re Jiang Chen’s friends?” That was the only question Wu Ziming posed them . What happened next was not difficult to imagine . Even though Fengyu Duo were already Celestial Venerables, they were still not a match for Wu Ziming .
Wu Ziming was a cruel man . The injuries he caused them could not be recovered from in a short time . As a result, they would miss out on the Title Battle .
“Sit down . ” Jiang Chen was very angry, but he did not forget how to treat them .
“It’s not going to work . Our master told us it would take us a long time to recover . Time will cure everything . ”
“Jiang Chen, don’t worry about us . Our master has sent people to look for spiritual herbs for us . ” Fengyu Duo said one by one .
“Trust me . Your injuries are nothing to me . I can cure you,” Jiang Chen said .
Convinced by his confidence, they sat down on chairs . Jiang Chen took out his silver needles to treat them with his extraordinary techniques . He cured both of them at the same time .
“That’s amazing!” Fengyu Duo were pleasantly surprised .
Zhou Jianfeng exclaimed, “Jiang Chen, is there anything you can’t do?”
“Thanks a lot,” Xiao Yujian said .
“Not at all . Now it’s time to avenge you,” Jiang Chen said .
Fengyu Duo were dumbfounded . They hurried to block his way at the door to stop him .
“Where Wu Ziming stays is full of Wind Spirit elites . ”
The two were not intimidated by the beating that they had received, but they did not think the situation was favorable for Jiang Chen .
“It has to be an elite for me to care about beating them,” Jiang Chen said in a profound voice .
