ACSP : Chapter 62: Clan Annihilation Vengeance, Undying Physique!
Listening to the nervous tone in Li Yanran's voice on the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen could not help but frown.
He had been classmates with Li Yanran for three years and had never seen her look so flustered before.
It seemed that something major had really happened in Jinghai City this time.
Otherwise, Li Yanran would never have come looking for him in such a hurry.
Oh well.
Anyway, I don't plan on grinding this secret realm anymore.
Let's just head back to Jinghai City first to see what the situation is.
"You can leave Zhang Xiaolin to me. I happen to be heading back to Jinghai City, so I can take her to the hospital for treatment."
Jiang Chen turned to look at Ye Ju and said.
Ye Ju had just finished briefly treating the wound on Zhang Xiaolin's chest.
Hearing that Jiang Chen was returning to Jinghai City, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, but Xiaolin's injuries can't handle being jolted. I'll contact the City Lord's Mansion now and have them send a car so we can go back together."
"There's no need for such trouble."
Jiang Chen waved his hand, then smeared the residual blood onto his palm.
He slammed his palm onto the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
"Chirp—!"
With a sharp bird cry, a giant ninja hawk suddenly burst through the smoke, soared into the air, appeared in the sky, and began circling above Jiang Chen's head at an astonishing speed.
Although the size of the ninja hawk, Garuda, was not as massive as Gamabunta or Manda, its lightning-fast flight speed instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Holy crap! How does Jiang Chen still have a summoning beast in his possession!"
"It's actually a flying summoning beast, and it looks like its strength isn't weak either..."
"It seems the value of Jinghai City's strongest talent is still rising."
"Do you think if Chen Chuxi knew that Jiang Chen's contracted character was a hidden Kage-level Contractor, she would regret her initial decision?"
"Does that even need guessing? I bet she would definitely kneel and beg Jiang Chen to get back together, maybe even lick his boots like a dog..."
"By the way, speaking of Chen Chuxi, I heard that when City Lord Li Hongfei sent people to the secret forest to clean up the battlefield, they didn't seem to find her body. Some people guess she might not be dead. I don't know if it's true."
"Stop talking nonsense. Does not finding a body mean she's not dead? Maybe her body was already eaten by that mysterious exotic beast..."
Jiang Chen summoned the giant hawk Garuda to his side, then took Ye Ju and the unconscious Zhang Xiaolin, and flew directly towards Jinghai City.
Ten minutes later, with a shrill eagle cry, the figure of the giant hawk Garuda appeared above Jinghai City, skimming over the city walls at high speed and flapping its wings rapidly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
The patrol members guarding the walls didn't even have time to see who was on the hawk's back before Garuda's figure had already disappeared in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
"What was that big bird just now? Is it an exotic beast?"
"Probably not. I saw two people standing on the hawk's back. It's probably a summoning beast belonging to some official in the City Lord's Mansion."
"But I remember no one in the City Lord's Mansion has an eagle-type summoning beast, right?"
Just as the guards were guessing which official the giant eagle belonged to, Jiang Chen had already landed above the City Lord's Mansion on Garuda.
He canceled the Summoning Jutsu, then flashed to the ground.
Ye Ju followed closely behind, supporting Zhang Xiaolin.
The two of them said their goodbyes there.
Then Jiang Chen hurried towards the City Lord's office.
Ye Ju took Zhang Xiaolin to the medical room inside the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Xiaolin was no longer in any serious condition and only needed a few days of rest; her two assistants could fully take care of her.
When Jiang Chen arrived at the City Lord's office, City Lord Li Hongfei was discussing matters with some senior officials of the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Yanran and Lin Ye were also inside.
"Jiang Chen? Why are you back so soon?"
Li Yanran was a bit surprised to see Jiang Chen.
She remembered that she had just contacted him.
Logically, it should have taken at least half an hour for him to travel from the Land of Waves secret realm.
How did he arrive in just over ten minutes?
Jiang Chen shrugged and said, "Didn't you ask me to rush over as soon as possible?"
Li Yanran was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but City Lord Li Hongfei interrupted: "Jiang Chen, you've come at the right time. Our Jinghai City has encountered big trouble this time, and this trouble might have something to do with you..."
"Something to do with me?"
Jiang Chen frowned upon hearing this.
He didn't expect the trouble Jinghai City encountered to have anything to do with him.
"Yes."
City Lord Li Hongfei nodded with a grave expression, then continued: "A few days ago, some Contractors from Hangzhou City found us and brought us a piece of news: an organization called the 'Immortal Evil God Cult' wants to come and plunder our Jinghai City in the near future, and their Pope has specifically named you as a target to kill..."
Through City Lord Li Hongfei's explanation, Jiang Chen quickly understood the ins and outs of the whole situation.
It turned out that in the few days he had left Jinghai City, some guys from Hangzhou City had specifically sought out City Lord Li Hongfei and submitted an alliance agreement to him.
The content of the agreement was very simple.
It was to cooperate with them to fight against that 'Immortal Evil God Cult'!
City Lord Li Hongfei originally wanted to refuse this matter.
After all, this was their internal power struggle in Hangzhou City.
He didn't want to get involved.
But those people revealed information that forced him to agree to the alliance.
That is, the 'Immortal Evil God Cult' in Hangzhou City had recently recruited a female Kage-level Contractor, and the Evil God Cult's Pope had taken a fancy to her and wanted to marry her!
But that Kage-level Contractor told him that if he wanted to marry her, he had to first raze Jinghai City to the ground and kill a dual-character Contractor named 'Jiang Chen'.
"Jiang Chen, you are a smart person. I think hearing this, you should already know who the new Kage-level Contractor recruited by the Evil God Cult is, right?"
City Lord Li Hongfei looked up at Jiang Chen and asked, his gaze flickering.
Jiang Chen said indifferently: "Is that person Chen Chuxi?"
A woman who held a grudge against him, and was also a Kage-level Contractor—looking at this world, I'm afraid only she fit the description.
After all, last time in the secret forest, it was he who had personally slaughtered the Chen family and their subsidiary forces.
From another perspective.
He was now Chen Chuxi's mortal enemy, the one who had exterminated her clan.
It was normal for Chen Chuxi to be willing to use herself as a bargaining chip to take revenge.
"Correct, that person is Chen Chuxi. And according to the news revealed by those few Contractors from Hangzhou City, the current Chen Chuxi is not only a Kage-level Contractor, but she has also been bestowed with the power of the Evil God by the Pope of the Evil God Cult, gaining an Immortal Body."
Speaking of this, the expression on City Lord Li Hongfei's face became particularly grave.
Jiang Chen could see that he was very wary of that 'Immortal Evil God Cult' organization.
