Chapter 489: 489

Although they hadn’t seen how the Hero Palace had been taken down, they saw how the most sacred place of the Dragon Field had changed hands .

The Murongs, who had once been guests here, became the hosts . They behaved like they were the masters of everyone’s fate .

Many of those who had stayed silent regretted it .

The Murongs and the Sacred Institute weren’t the same . At least the latter wouldn’t force others to marry their daughters off in this way .

Yin Shuang, one of the Four Beauties, had won numerous people’s hearts . They felt unhappy at the thought that she would marry Murong Long under such pressure .

Murong Long had been ranked in the top three of the Dragon Rise List and become a Venerable at such a young age . He could have been described as man of the hour .

But that was when there had been no comparisons . Although Jiang Chen wasn’t a Venerable yet, compared to him, Murong Long wasn’t a threat .

Yin Shuang was reluctant to marry Murong Long, but she knew what kind of crisis the bank was facing .

“I agree . We’ll get engaged first and get married in a year,” said Yin Shuang .

Murong Xiong smiled . It was difficult to tell whether that was a yes or no .

“You want to wait until Jiang Chen comes back, don’t you?” Murong Long finally figured out a way to express himself clearly without teeth, although he sounded weird, but he didn’t feel like it was weird himself . He said in anger, “Let me tell you . Even if Jiang Chen comes back in a year, I’ll kill him all the same . “

“Just like earlier today?” Yin Shuang asked . Her pretty eyes were full of disdain .

Murong Long didn’t reply, only breathed a little bit harder . There was hatred in his eyes .

“Enough,” Murong Xiong interrupted their quarrel . He said calmly, “Miss Yin, in fact, your grandpa, the real owner of the Bank of Sacred City, has agreed to the marriage . “

The three family members of the Yins were all shocked, as were the others .

Was the Bank of the Sacred City involved in this affair, too?

Yin Shuang’s fair face was full of desperation . She believed that Jiang Chen would return to the Dragon Field to kill these people, but time waits for no one . What kind of situation would she be in by then?

In the worst case scenario, I’ll just die .

Closing her fists tightly, Yin Shuang dug her fingernails into her palms . Her pained expression became more and more resolute .

“Lord of the Murongs, could you make the royal map public now?”

None of the people present had forgotten about Ning Haotian’s promise .

They gave Crimson Moon a sharp look . She felt like her clothes would be melted by these looks .

“There’s no hurry . “

Fortunately, Murong Xiong wasn’t going to take her clothes off to show the royal map .

“The remaining supporters of the Hero Palace have escaped . The rebel forces, formed mainly by the Gaos, hasn’t been eliminated . If we go treasure-seeking now, won’t things go wrong quickly?”

In this way, the crowd knew he wouldn’t show the royal map to them that easily .

“You were just accusing the Hero Palace of being nosy and taking possession of the royal map . Now you’re doing the same,” Han Siming murmured to himself . Gazing at the iron Dragon Rebel Army, he raised his chin .

Jiang Chen, you have to come back as soon as possible .

Then he glanced at Crimson Moon and Yin Shuang .

No matter what relationship there was between them and Jiang Chen, he assumed the latter wouldn’t allow them to end up how people had imagined .

The radical change that had happened in the Sacred City ran through the whole Dragon Field in a day .

If the folks of the Dragon Field had been shocked by the news that Jiang Chen had topped the Dragon Rise List, they were panic-stricken at that moment .

Both the Hero Palace and the Sacred Institute were symbols of the Dragon Field . They were like the sun and the moon—although too high to reach, their existence was soothing .

However, by then, those big groups were speaking with one voice . In addition, following the lead of The Sacred Daily, which hadn’t closed down yet, they were slandering the Hero Palace and Jiang Chen’s names .

The reports published in the paper were almost the opposite of the truth .

The Hero Palace wasn’t a symbol of honor anymore . It became a domineering force .

It not only took Jiang Chen, a fraud, under its wing, but also intended to take possession of the royal map and stop Ning Haotian from taking revenge .

According to the description of the paper, Jiang Chen, who had proved himself, was a despicable man, and the Hero Palace was more hateful than even the Evil Cloud Palace .

It was the Murongs who had brought order out of chaos . They had led the forces living in the shadows of the Hero Palace into the Sacred City and become the leader of the Dragon Field .

They called the Gaos’ land the headquarters of the rebel forces .

The Murongs gave a powerful voice to the forces of the Dragon Field . They dispatched soldiers to form a large army to suppress the Gaos .

Moreover, it was said that Murong Long and Yin Shuang would be married once the Gaos were eliminated .

Crimson Moon, the owner of the royal map, would also be married to the next lord of the Sus, Ning Haotian .

The folks of the Dragon Field didn’t believe all of the rumors, nor could they understand the groups who had joined the army so resolutely .

Since when had the Murongs become so persuasive and convincing?

However, after having learned the whole story, people stopped questioning .

None of them wanted their children to be caught on a battlefield and used as cannon fodder, dying without even a complete body .

As for those from other fields, they could only blame their own weakness .

The evildoers were rampant due to the silence of good people .

As for Jiang Chen, after he had been transmitted by the formation, he had lost control of his body for a long time, but knowing that this was normal, he wasn’t nervous .

About fifteen minutes later, he felt like he was arriving .

In a few seconds, a light streaked across the cloudless sky, and then, Jiang Chen appeared .

He didn’t pay his attention to the surroundings right away . He was still thinking about the Hero Palace and worrying for his friends and family .

Having no idea that Yin Shuang had been forced into marriage, he was only afraid that Crimson Moon would be humiliated and forced to show the royal map .

Even if she wasn’t, he felt uneasy at the thought that she would be married to a guy like Ning Haotian .

No matter whether it was right or wrong, Jiang Chen owed her . It was due to him that she had lost her home .

However, the same idea that had occurred to Yin Shuang occurred to him . He was confident that he would go back, but it would take him some time .

And he didn’t know how long that would be .

The Dragon Field wouldn’t stop functioning to wait for him . Maybe when he finally went back, everything would have changed .

I can’t just rely on myself like I always did . I have to turn to other means .

He glanced around and found he was over a pile of ruins . Everything was broken down below . Everything was a mess .

While he was hesitating, he saw some familiar patterns and characters on the destroyed buildings . Then he realized this was the Sacred Institute of the Realm of Milky .

So besides the Nine Heavens Continent, the Sacred Institutes in other Planes Worlds were all wiped out .

He felt rather sad and dreary .

When all birds were shot, the bow would be set aside; when all hares were killed, the hounds would be stewed and eaten .

When the Sacred Institutes had finished fighting against demons and won a pure land for human beings, they ha also became a thorn in many people’s sides .

However, the main reason that the Sacred Institutes of the Nine Realms had been destroyed was their ideas . They hadn’t focused on strengthening themselves, but had been thinking for the world .

Were they stupid? No . The founders of the Sacred Institute must have anticipated this, but they didn’t give up . They were brave, Jiang Chen thought to himself .

“Eh?” He suddenly stared into the distance, where a dot was approaching him at a high speed .
