925. Chapter 923: Looking Down on All Heroes

Fortunately you arrived in time; otherwise we would have also met our end in the Yellow Springs!

Brother Heng, which sect are those people from? Why do they want to kill you? Jiang Lin asked doubtfully.

Jiang Heng gave a bitter smile: 'Don't worry about this. Although I managed to survive by luck, I also lost my left arm; from now on it will probably be hard to become a martial artist again, and I might even suffer backlash!'

Jiang Heng has always been the leading figure among the younger generation of Jiang Clan Huangcheng.

Among the younger generation of Jiang Clan Huangcheng, Jiang Heng's achievements tower over all others.

Lu Yuan had once been defeated by his sword.

Yang Xuechan had once been defeated by his spear.

However…

This time, however, Jiang Heng was defeated by a stranger's hand and even lost his left arm—a humiliation he had never experienced before.

He must become stronger!

He must wash away this humiliation.

Only by becoming strong enough can he tear to shreds the person who stole what rightfully belonged to him.

Brother Heng, since those evil cultivators are dead, let's leave quickly! Jiang Lin urged.

Hmm!

Jiang Heng gave a slight nod.

Just as they were about to retreat, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, and Jiang Lin and the others also halted.

A somewhat playful voice echoed from within the canyon.

Hahaha, want to leave? You seem to have forgotten something very important!

Jiang Chen?

Jiang Heng and the others turned toward the sound.

When they saw Jiang Chen supporting Yang Xuechan as he approached, Jiang Heng and Jiang Lin's faces darkened instantly, and they exchanged a glance.

Boom—

A massive stone tablet floated in midair above the canyon, blocking the sunlight.

Hum! The stone tablet emitted brilliant golden light, enveloping an area of a thousand zhang around it.

This is a prison! Inside the prison, a pitch-black staff, as dark as ink and exuding a chilling demonic aura, hovered in midair, with a mass of black smoke coiling around it like a dragon.

Keke, Jiang Heng, your luck isn't bad! You actually found our lair.

Lu Yuan curled his lips in a cold smile: 'Too bad, no matter how good your luck, you still can't escape disaster.'

On Lu Yuan's right shoulder, a ferocious wolf's head slowly opened its eyes, its icy gaze falling on Jiang Chen and Yang Xuechan.

His eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty hue as he licked his lips: 'I didn't expect the blood of these two fish to be so delicious!'

Lu Yuan's words caused Jiang Heng, Jiang Lin, and the others to change color in anger.

Jiang Heng exclaimed: 'Jiang Chen, run, they're all evil cultivators…'

However.

Lu Yuan and the evil cultivators both snorted with laughter and did not block their actions.

Jiang Heng and the others' faces showed despair.

They never would have imagined.

After all their hard searching, it turned out they were doing the work for someone else's wedding!

Jiang Chen, you guys hurry and escape! Lu Yuan urged anxiously.

Yang Xuechan also gritted her teeth and said: 'Jiang Chen, you go quickly, don't worry about me!'

Hehe…

Jiang Chen gave an indifferent smile.

He reached out to wipe clean the blood at the corner of Yang Xuechan's mouth, then took out several healing pills for her to take, and afterwards placed them in his bosom.

Big Sister Xuechan, I'll cover your escape later. I'll deal with these guys—rest assured, I won't let anyone harm you!

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Jiang Heng couldn't help but widen his eyes: 'Is this kid crazy?'

Jiang Lin shook his head and sighed: 'Ah, this child is surely frightened stupid!'

Little Chen, hurry up and go! Lu Yuan urged.

Jiang Chen waved his hand, showing a confident smile: 'Everyone, do you think I'm an idiot? Would I walk into such an obvious trap?' 'What do you mean?' Lu Yuan was taken aback.

Jiang Heng frowned and pondered: 'Could it be that you know our plan?'

Exactly!

Jiang Chen nodded, his expression calm.

His face was full of composure, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, the corners of his mouth turning up in a mocking arc.

When looking at Lu Yuan, a glint of cold light flickered in Jiang Chen's eyes as he snorted coldly: 'If I'm not mistaken, you've been tricked by that bastard Li Yuan Gang!'

You're talking nonsense! Lu Yuan roared.

Jiang Heng narrowed his eyes, staring at Jiang Chen: 'Kid, do you dare slander my master?'

Do you really think I'm an idiot? Li Yuan Gang's strength is comparable to mine; how could he leave at this time?

Jiang Chen sneered repeatedly, continuing: 'Moreover, given his cultivation and strength, how could he fear you few? If he weren't trying to use you to kill someone, why would he let you come?'

You…

Jiang Heng and Jiang Lin opened their mouths, speechless.

After all…

Indeed, that's the truth! Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his gaze burning as he looked at Jiang Heng and Jiang Lin, and said coldly: 'Regardless of your grudges, you only need to tell me whether you've seen Jiang Taiyang!'

"Jiang Taiyang? Do I know him?" Jiang Heng raised his eyebrows.

Lu Yuan's face grew even darker.

Jiang Heng and the other looked five or six parts like Jiang Taiyang; if they didn't know Jiang Taiyang, it wouldn't be surprising.

But these two fellows are disciples of Li Yuan Gang; if they truly don't know Jiang Taiyang, that would be somewhat troublesome.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and shouted low: "Do you guys know Jiang Taiyang or not?"

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Jiang Heng frowned.

Jiang Lin echoed: "We've only just arrived in this mountain range; how could we know Jiang Taiyang?"

Lu Yuan's face was uncertain; he glanced at the unconscious Yang Xuechan and thought to himself.

"According to Jiang Taiyang, Yang Xuechan is his sister; if she's already dead... could Li Yuan Gang have deceived me?"

Just as Lu Yuan was hesitating.

Jiang Heng suddenly asked: "By the way, Lu Yuan, I heard you and Li Yuan Gang are friends; where is he now?"

"Help me pass the message to him, tell him... to come quickly to the rescue!"

"Lu Yuan, if you truly are Brother Li's friend, please quickly notify Brother Li!" Jiang Lin also shouted.

They all knew that in this battle, misfortune outweighed fortune.

Only Lu Yuan, a third‑level Yin Yang Realm expert with considerable strength; perhaps there was still a chance to escape.

"Li Taiyang?"

Lu Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, his gaze fell on Yang Xuechan, his eyes darting about.

He had long ago received Li Taiyang's instruction: no matter what he did in the outside world, he must ensure Yang Xuechan's safety.

Because...

Li Taiyang's goal was to capture Yang Xuechan and use her to threaten Jiang Chen! Lu Yuan hesitated.

Suddenly...

His eyes suddenly brightened, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said to Jiang Heng.

"Jiang Heng, since you are my master's friends, today I will consider it a debt I owe you; as for this woman, I cannot refuse!"

Having said that.

Lu Yuan suddenly thrust out his hand, grabbing at the unconscious Yang Xuechan's neck.

"Hahaha, you're really righteous!"

Jiang Heng and the other breathed a sigh of relief, laughing loudly.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, revealed a sinister smile, muttering to himself.

"Jiang Chen, you think you can escape our control? Little did you know, from the very start I never intended to ally with you; this is a trap aimed at you." (End of chapter)
