Chapter 1519: 1519

Jiang Chen did not have the time to choose which way to go . He just wanted to go as far away as possible .

The Buddha’s power aside, he was only a Martial Emperor . He absolutely could not resist a team composed of Martial Arts Saints .

Fortunately, only those three men were chasing him .

They were all as strong as the black-clothed man he had killed last time .

A bold idea occurred to him suddenly .

Previously, he had been able to use the Star Formation and the practicing body .

Now, however, he had three rivals . Jiang Chen had to plan it well .

… . .

On the other hand, Cao Ze and the others who were on the run gathered together soon .

“We must have stayed at that square for too long . ”

“We caught their attention from the very beginning . ”

“Maybe we have a traitor among us . ”

As soon as they met up, they started to complain . Although no great casualties had occurred, everyone felt frustrated .

“I’m sure it’s that Jiang Chen who sold us out . ” Seeing that Jiang Chen was not there, Xia Jiang started to slander him right away .

Murong Yanran’s pretty face looked unhappy . It was she who had brought Jiang Chen into the team . Was he implying she was also a traitor?

“In my opinion, it’s quite simple . We are just too noticeable,” said Jin Yuan .

“I agree . ”

Cao Ze nodded . He was a suspicious man . This was not a flaw, but it could be a disaster if he was indecisive too .

“Are you going to leave Jiang Chen behind?”

Xuan Qing, who had followed them, simply posed one question .

“The Demonic Abyss is too spacious . Now that we are scattered, it’s impossible to relocate him in a short time,” Murong Yanran stated the obvious truth .

“He doesn’t know the way . So you are fine with that, and are going to keep with the original plan, is that it?” Xuan Qing asked coldly .

Her accusation charged the air with awkwardness .

Those from the Demon Slayers Palace knew this descendant of the Empyrean Goddess had slipped into her old habits again . She was unusually straightforward and would say whatever she wanted to say regardless of the situation .

“We are not responsible for his safety . You can go if you are not happy with us,” Xia Jiang said, a little pissed off .

So Xuan Qing got ready to leave .

Murong Yanran stopped her right away . She said, “Even though you want to help, you don’t know where he is . So, what can you do if you leave?”

It made sense . Xuan Qing was so busy escaping she hadn’t noticed where Jiang Chen had gone .

“Didn’t Jiang Chen tell us he’d follow us? I think he’ll find a way to catch up with us,” Murong Yanran comforted Xuan Qing .

Actually, even she did not believe what she was saying .

She had assumed it was impossible for Jiang Chen to catch up with them .

If he was unlucky, he would die on the third level .

If he was lucky, he would be able to find his way to the teleportation room .

Even though he knew about the remnants of the Empyrean Goddess, he did not know where exactly the remnants were .

However, to her surprise, she persuaded Xuan Qing .

She struggled for a while and then nodded slightly .

Murong Yanran could not understand why she trusted Jiang Chen to such an extent, but she was happy to see Xuan Qing react in this way .

… . .

As for Jiang Chen, he was able to keep a distance from those who were chasing him, but he could not get rid of them .

He had planned to take advantage of demons to eliminate those three, just as he had done on the second level .

But unfortunately, that had happened at a secret location that only Xuan Qing knew .

There were no demons awake in this whole area, so he had to keep flying forward .

At the moment, it was very spacious here . Demons just would not appear in groups . Some group that showed up occasionally would just be in his way .

“How long do you think this guy can persist?”

“I suppose 15 minutes at most . ”

“Heh, heh, I really don’t see why he is so confident that he thinks he can run away from three Martial Arts Saints . ”

The three men who were following him were quite confident . Even though Jiang Chen was insanely fast, as long as they managed to follow him, they did not think there was any big problem .

“No . I can’t keep doing this . It won’t work . ”

Obviously, Jiang Chen had realized that too .

All of a sudden, he made up his mind . Seeing a dense forest down below, he charged down and flew into the forest at high speed .

Before the chasers could get down as well, Jiang Chen flew up again from the forest and away .

The three chasers wondered why Jiang Chen had made such an unnecessary effort, but seeing him flying farther on, they also hurried up to keep pace with him .

Soon, Jiang Chen stopped, gasping for air .

“Run! Why don’t you run anymore?”

The three chasers kept smiling coldly . They thought Jiang Chen was too exhausted to keep flying .

“By the way, why do you want to catch me?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen really did not think he deserved this . He said, “If I really knew anything, you think they would have retreated like that?”

The chasers exchanged a look . It sounded reasonable to them .

“It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with us chasing you . ”

“It’s our task to take you back . You understand?”

“If you give up resisting, it will save all of us a lot of trouble . ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Chen said with a small smile, “You are Martial Arts Saints . I’m only a Martial Emperor . What kind of trouble can I cause you?”

Then he lifted his defenses, as if he was waiting for them to catch him .

“Okay . It’s great you know that . You have really wasted a lot of our time . ”

The three chasers felt relieved, but they also felt angry at the same time . They were not being nice to Jiang Chen at all .

One of them took a step forward to teach Jiang Chen a lesson .

“If your leader wants to collaborate with me, I’ll make my decision based on what you do to me . ”

Jiang Chen spoke to them casually, as calm as always .

The man who was going to give him a beating was struck dumb . He struggled for some time and finally gave up his intention .

He went behind Jiang Chen to give the latter a hard push .

Surrounded by the three men, Jiang Chen was brought back to the mountains where the battle had been fought .

Ying Ying was not surprised at all to see Jiang Chen brought back .

In his opinion, it would be highly unusual if his men had failed to do that .

“If you had collaborated with us in the first place, nothing like this would have happened . ”

Ying Ying smiled coldly . He said proudly, “Tell me . What’s your task? You don’t like to suffer from pain, do you?”

“No one likes pain . I’ll tell you what I know,” said Jiang Chen .

“What’s your task?” Ying Ying asked loudly .

“The remnants of the Empyrean Goddess . ”

“What?!”

Jiang Chen’s answer seemed to be magic . It made Ying Ying and the others look shocked .

“Really?!” Ying Ying came up to Jiang Chen . A great pressure dashed toward Jiang Chen to shake him so that he would tell the truth .

“At least that’s what the disciples of the Demon Slayers Palace told me . ”

Jiang Chen answered him calmly, not affected by fear .

“Where are the remnants?”

Ying Ying took a deep breath to calm himself down . Only the excitement in his eyes told the true story .

“I have no idea . ”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed Ying Ying’s hideous look . He added, “If I really knew anything, they would not have left me behind like that . ”

Ying Ying nodded, seemingly pondering something . Then he said, “Tell me more details . ”

Jiang Chen did not try to conceal anything . He told Ying Ying all that he knew .

He did not have an obligation to keep the secret for those people, especially after they had abandoned him and left him alone .

“So, you, as a Buddhist disciple, your task was to empower them, wasn’t it?”

Ying Ying nodded . He said loudly, “Okay . Listen to me . From now on, you are working with a new group . ”
