Chapter 696: See You Again
After an incense stick of time, he found a secluded cave and sat cross-legged to heal his wounds.
"hiss."
As soon as he sat down, Jiang Chen felt a piercing pain all over his body.
Only then did he realize that he had many wounds on his body, which were bloody and shocking.
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth and took off his coat, revealing his fair skin, and the wound stopped bleeding immediately.
However, there were too many wounds, and it would be impossible to recover in the short term relying solely on pills.
“Damn it.”
Jiang Chen gritted his teeth, his face covered with sweat.
"I will definitely avenge the young lady, just wait."
Jiang Chen took out a pill and swallowed it. His face became a little rosier, but still as pale as paper.
"Fortunately, I came to the Northern Wasteland Forest for training this time. "
Jiang Chen said thankfully.
Every time he practiced "Flying Immortal Art", he would encounter various difficulties. In the words of the strong, that was a way to sharpen himself.
Moreover, because of the Feixian Jue, his body became exceptionally tough.
If it were someone else, he would probably be dead.
"Xiaoling should be fine." Jiang Chen comforted himself.
If something happens to the princess, it will be useless even if he escapes to the ends of the earth.
"I need to heal my injuries quickly, otherwise it will delay things."
Jiang Chen said secretly, practicing the "Dragon Riding Immortal Technique".
Strands of spiritual energy flow through the meridians, bringing a tingling and comfortable feeling.
Gradually, a blush appeared on Jiang Chen's cheeks.
Buzz~
Suddenly, a faint vibration sound was heard in the Dantian, and a crystal clear stone floated in the air, emitting brilliant light.
"Spiritual Source Stone."
Jiang Chen was both surprised and delighted that he was able to condense the Spirit Source Stone at this moment.
"My physical fitness has improved a lot, and my training speed has increased a lot."
The Spirit Source Stone appeared, and Jiang Chen's body was tempered, becoming even stronger.
"Continue to refine."
The Lingyuan Stone contains extremely rich spiritual power, and Jiang Chen does not intend to waste it.
"ah--"
Suddenly, a piercing and sharp scream was heard, causing Jiang Chen to stop.
Jiang Chen looked solemnly in the direction where the sound came from.
"This is……"
Jiang Chen's pupils contracted as he saw two flames shooting up into the sky in the distance. The sound of explosions continued and the flames illuminated the entire night sky.
Whoosh~
Suddenly, two silver lights came flying towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen reacted and quickly stepped back, narrowly avoiding the silver needle.
The silver needle shot into the ground, making two small holes with terrifying power.
"Who?"
Jiang Chen looked up and saw a group of people flying over. Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing embroidered robes and a sword on his waist. He had a fierce and intimidating aura.
He put his hands behind his back, his eyes were cold, and he looked down at Jiang Chen condescendingly.
"General Qin."
Jiang Chen recognized the person, it was the man riding the Black Hawk before.
"It's you."
General Qin narrowed his eyes, with a fierce light flashing in them.
He had a good memory and recognized immediately that Jiang Chen was the man in black who had attacked him earlier.
"I don't understand what you are talking about."
Jiang Chen pretended to be stupid.
"Hmph, don't think that I won't recognize you just because you disguise yourself as a man in black." General Qin sneered.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.
"Who are you?"
Suddenly, a woman in green came from behind General Qin.
She has delicate features and flawless beauty, but also a slim and graceful figure, as if she is a fairy walking out of a painting.
"Meet the princess."
After seeing the woman's face clearly, General Qin knelt on one knee.
"No need to be polite."
The woman waved her hands.
"Princess, it was this kid who attacked me." Qin Han pointed at Jiang Chen.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Jiang Chen shrugged and said, "If you frame me, you must bear the corresponding responsibility."
"You are lying." Qin Han said coldly.
"Did you see me murdering you with your own eyes?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No." Qin Han shook his head.
"That's it."
Jiang Chen spread his hands and said, "We just met by chance, why should I kill you?"
" Aren't the princess's guard?" Qin Han asked suspiciously.
"no."
Jiang Chen said affirmatively that he disdained to lie.
Qin Han frowned, pondered for a while, and finally nodded.
"I believe you." Qin Han said.
Jiang Chen was surprised. Qin Han believed him so easily?
"Thank you."
"Princess, I will report this matter to His Majesty and request that His Majesty send troops to capture the thieves." Qin Han said to the woman.
The woman shook her head, indicating that Qin Han didn't need to do so, and said calmly: "I trust my guards, there is no need to doubt them."
Hearing her words, Qin Han hesitated and finally sighed, saying, "In that case, I will take my leave."
"Wait."
Jiang Chen stopped Qin Han who was about to leave.
"What else do you have to say?" Qin Han frowned.
"General Qin, we have no grudges in the past or in the present, why do you want to kill me?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"You should know this matter better than me."
Qin Han said coldly: "I advise you to surrender obediently, so that we don't have to take action."
After saying that, Qin Han took his men away.
"Is it because I have a close relationship with the princess?"
Jiang Chen thought about it and shook his head. He had no interest in girls.
"Forget it, let's recover from the injury first."
He stopped thinking about it, closed his eyes and began to heal.
Three days later, Jiang Chen's injuries healed. He opened his eyes, his gaze was bright and his breath was strong.
"My strength has improved a lot. I wonder if I can compete with a second-grade martial artist."
Jiang Chen thought to himself that he estimated that he could now rival a sixth or seventh rank martial artist.
“Huh~”
Exhaling the foul air, Jiang Chen stretched his muscles.
Suddenly, he sensed a crisis approaching and turned around abruptly.
"It's you!"
Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted and he said in surprise.
"Why is it you?"
The visitor was equally surprised and obviously knew Jiang Chen.
"Zhao San, why are you here?"
Jiang Chen frowned.
Zhao San was the soldier he rescued.
"I was ordered to investigate what happened here."
Zhao San said, "I heard that some criminals broke into the imperial city, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be you."
When he saw the injured Jiang Chen, his eyes were filled with surprise.
"Yeah, what a coincidence."
Jiang Chen said awkwardly.
Zhao San didn’t know that he was recuperating here, and he didn’t know that he almost lost his life.
"Are you okay?"
Zhao San asked.
"fine."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Aren't you chasing the princess? Why are you here?" Zhao San asked curiously.
"Is the princess nearby?"
Jiang Chen was shocked.
Zhao San nodded and said, "Don't panic. This is Northern Frontier Country, under the jurisdiction of His Majesty."
After a pause, Zhao San continued, " The princess will be fine."
"That's good." Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought of what Qin Han said, that the Qin family was chasing the princess.
"I'm leaving first."
Looking at Jiang Chen's calm expression, Zhao San muttered in his heart, "I don't know what happened to Master Jiang. I feel that his abilities are a little confused, and he hasn't returned to the Immortal Palace for a long time."
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't know about Zhao San's suspicions and speculations, and even if he knew, he wouldn't respond to him.
What he needs now is to recuperate quickly and then continue exploring deeper into the Immortal Palace ruins.
