Chapter 1415: Why Did He Suddenly Become Stupid?

Wang Jianqiang scrutinized Mingchen's face for a few moments.

Upon detecting the secret delight hidden beneath the other's expression, he couldn't help but grin.

He then looked at Mingchen with a face full of respect, "Since His Highness the Prince has already issued the order, let us set off immediately."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Mingchen suddenly felt a great sense of prestige.

He felt a surge of secret delight in his heart.

Consequently, even looking at Tianyu again, he felt he was more pleasing to the eye.

He nodded faintly and flew out first.

He had the air of a leader.

Seeing this, Lianyin gave Wang Jianqiang a strange look.

Ever since she had known this guy, he had never once suffered a loss.

To think he would be so easy to talk to this time.

Could it be that...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but send a voice transmission to Wang Jianqiang, "Brother Qiang, take it easy. The Imperial Lord and the others can definitely see the scene here; you must not trick him to death."

"It will be troublesome when the time comes."

The corners of Wang Jianqiang's mouth curved, "Lianyin, could it be that you have some misunderstanding about your brother? Is your Brother Qiang the kind of person who would trick others?"

After saying this, he flew out second, following closely behind Mingchen.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang move.

Jiayue and Biyan'er then took flight and followed.

Lie Kong followed Jiayue's lead in everything; seeing Jiayue move, he immediately followed as well.

Seeing this, a flash of helplessness crossed Lianyin's face, and she followed too.

She hoped Mingchen had a tough life.

He must not be tricked to death.

Under Wang Jianqiang's promotion, Mingchen was directly pushed into the position of the leader.

For the journey ahead.

It was no longer Biyan'er clearing the way, but Mingchen instead.

Flying at the very front of the team, Mingchen felt refreshed and invigorated, his vanity greatly satisfied.

It was just a pity that joy often begets sorrow.

A mere three hours later.

Whoosh~

A vine as thick as a water bucket and over a hundred zhang long suddenly lashed out from the void without any warning.

Slap!

As the leader, Mingchen bore the brunt of it, being whipped squarely across the head and face.

After striking Mingchen, the vine paused for an instant.

Relying on this momentary pause of the vine, Wang Jianqiang, Lianyin, Jiayue, Biyan'er, and Lie Kong all gained sufficient reaction time.

They scattered and fled.

Whoosh~

The moment the five dispersed, a figure shot backward from the center of the group like a meteor.

Amidst a booming sound, it smashed through a small hilltop before crashing to the ground.

It carved a small canyon into the earth.

"Your Highness the Prince!"

Wang Jianqiang screamed in alarm, then glared fiercely at the void from which the vine had extended, his face showing anger, "Bastard, how dare you injure my most respected Prince!"

"Attack together and destroy it!"

As he spoke, a strong black light already shimmered on Wang Jianqiang's fist, and he threw a punch.

Hearing this, Lianyin, Jiayue, Biyan'er, and Lie Kong immediately took action.

Five attacks submerged that patch of void.

A vine demon rooted in the void was forcibly beaten out and then submerged in the violent power.

When the aftermath of the five people's attacks dissipated, the vine demon had already been torn to shreds.

It transformed into sky-filling shattered energy.

Wang Jianqiang's figure flashed, appearing below the "man-made canyon," where he saw Mingchen struggling to stand up.

"Your Highness the Prince, are you alright?"

Seeing this scene, Wang Jianqiang hurriedly stepped forward, intending to support Mingchen.

Mingchen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to grab Tianyu's arm when he suddenly saw that Lianyin and the others were already approaching.

He gritted his teeth.

Reflexively, he pushed Wang Jianqiang away, "Tianyu, are you looking down on this Prince?"

"A mere strike from a vine demon is not enough to do anything to this Prince."

Mingchen's words were full of vigor.

If not for the fact that his feet were unsteady and his body swayed the moment he pushed Wang Jianqiang away, his acting could be considered excellent.

After being suddenly pushed away, Wang Jianqiang was stunned for a moment, but he did not show any dissatisfaction; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It is good that Your Highness the Prince is alright."

"Since that is the case, let us continue on our way."

Mingchen's expression froze.

The strength of this vine demon was no weaker than the two indigenous creatures from before.

He was already suffering from unhealed wounds, and now he had added injury to injury~

Although the wounds could not be called very heavy, they could not be considered light either.

If he were to continue on the road...

"What is wrong, Your Highness Prince?"

"Are you unable to travel immediately? If you cannot, you must tell me; it is perfectly fine for us to set off in two days."

Seeing that Mingchen did not respond, a look of worry appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

Mingchen secretly gritted his teeth and let out three loud laughs, "Just kidding, what does this little injury amount to? If not for my momentary lapse in attention, why would I have needed you all to intervene? I could have slain that vine demon all by myself."

"Just continue on the road; I can recover while we travel."

After speaking, he flew straight out.

"His Highness Prince is truly a tough man, a role model for us all."

Wang Jianqiang sighed with emotion, then followed after him.

Jiayue and Biyan'er looked at Mingchen, then could not help but look at Lianyin, "Is he always like this?"

Lianyin shook her head, "I am not sure either; I did not have much contact with him before."

On the Square within the Jade Clam Clan.

Because of the wager between the twelve top forces, almost everyone was paying attention to the teams of Beina and Biyan'er.

After seeing Mingchen's performance.

The expressions of everyone present were rather strange, and they frequently looked toward Mingyan.

"Daoist Friend Mingyan, is your son always... this... um~ this strong?"

Bei Lingyun could not help but transmit her voice to Mingyan.

Originally, upon noticing the gazes frequently cast from all around, Mingyan had already been feeling somewhat unwell.

Hearing Bei Lingyun's voice transmission, she almost choked on her breath.

She hesitated for a good while before replying.

"He was not like this before."

"I do not know if it is because he has been training too hard lately~~"

"And it affected his brain."

Upon hearing this, Bei Lingyun looked thoughtful.

Mingyan looked at the crystal stone.

In the crystal stone, Biyan'er and the others had already continued on their way.

Mingchen was forcibly suppressing his injuries, flying at the very front of the team with a haughty air.

"This idiot!"

Seeing this scene, Mingyan gritted her teeth.

At the same time, her heart was filled with confusion.

She used to think Mingchen was quite good; although he could not be called very smart, at least his brain was normal.

But now...

How did he suddenly become so stupid?
