Chapter 174: Things Could Always Be Worse

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At the Palace of Natural Law of the Natural Law School...

The last batch of disciples had been taken back to the square where they’d left for the Realm of Beasts.

What had happened to those who hadn’t come back was unimaginable.

Meng Hao, Wen Xin, and the Jiangs were waiting beside the square, looking around nervously. When they realized Jiang Chen wasn’t there, their hearts sank.

Su Xiuyi and some of the elders were standing in the center of the square. They also noticed Jiang Chen wasn’t there and frowned.

As their most special disciple, Jiang Chen was the center of attention not only on the Redcloud Peak, but also in the whole school.

Some people already assumed Jiang Chen was dead when the first batches of disciples arrived.

It was a shocking result for everyone.

The disciples of the Peak of the Heavenly King looked at each other. It was impossible for them to hide the joy on their faces.

In the air, on the exquisite ship of the Peak of Ingénue, Li Xue’er’s thin eyebrows were crumpled in a frown when she saw Jiang Chen wasn’t back.

Jiang Chen was still in the Realm of Beasts...

She felt guilty when she recalled how she had left him that day.

She had realized that Jiang Chen was just helping her and she shouldn’t have doubted her, but she was a mess at that time. After she had calmed down, she was too embarrassed to go back to him.

“Did any of you see Jiang Chen?”

Wen Xin didn’t give up. She was already a Mental Wander State and wanted to tell Jiang Chen the good news.

The disciples looked at each other with weird expressions.

The elders saw something unusual in their expressions.

“What happened?” Elder Technique Impartation asked.

These people were too ashamed to admit that they had cursed Jiang Chen, so they just told the elder how the Third Prince had gotten revenge on Jiang Chen by preventing him from going through the portal.

By then, there were two possibilities—Jiang Chen was either killed by the Third Prince’s arrow or trapped in the Realm of Beasts.

Neither of them was favorable.

Portals couldn’t be opened anytime that one wished. Although it seemed like they had been opened twice for this adventure, it was actually only once.

If they wanted to help Jiang Chen back through these portals, they had to wait until six months had passed.

The other disciples had learned this information before they set out to the Realm of Beasts. They also knew people in the Mental Wander State wouldn’t be able to leave there without a portal.

Su Xiuyi took out the Abacus of Good Fortune to see Jiang Chen’s fortune.

“Jiang Chen is still alive,” he said under people’s curious gazes.

So he was trapped in the Realm of Beasts.

Wen Xin came forward immediately and said, “Leader, Jiang Chen has the holy pulse. He’s a rare talent. Please rescue him.”

Mu Zhenchuan was in the crowd. He suddenly opened his mouth.

“It’s agreed upon by all groups that people in the Reaching Heaven State aren’t allowed to enter the Realm of Beasts. They will be hard-pressed if they insist on entering there. Do you want the school to sacrifice a Reaching Heaven State for Jiang Chen?”

His words reminded the high-level leaders of the school who wanted to rescue Jiang Chen of the possible consequences.

Wen Xin hurried to shake her head in denial of Mu Zhenchuan’s question. She had been trying to say there are no general rules without an exception. All rules could be stretched, but Mu Zhenchuan had deliberately twisted what she meant. That was irritating.

“Of course not,” she said in roughly. She didn’t fear Mu Zhenchuan at all.

Mu Zhenchuan might have been a young duke, but she was a princess.

“If not, do you want Mental Wander States to rescue him? Do you want all of them to die for nothing? If you want to go, you go alone,” Mu Zhenchuan said.

“I’ll go.”

Li Xue’er’s voice came from the exquisite ship like a falling snowflake.

“As a chief disciple of the school, I have this responsibility,” Li Xue’er said.

Ning Haotian was already in the Reaching Heaven State. He wasn’t a disciple any more. He had been appointed vice leader, so Li Xue’er had become the chief disciple.

“Xue’er, it’s very dangerous to get into the Realm of Beasts from the outskirts. Don’t act on impulse,” Su Xiuyi said.

His words put Wen Xin and those from the Jiang Mansion under pressure.

How could Jiang Chen escape from the Realm of Beasts, a place dangerous even for Li Xue’er?

“No disciple should act on impulse. Anyone who enters the Realm of Beasts without permit will be expelled from the school!” Su Xiuyi said seriously.

“Elders, come with me.”

Then, Su Xiuyi walked into the Palace of Natural Law with the elders.

Wen Xin and others were very helpless. They could only hope that the school would figure a way out, but they didn’t hear any news. They thought that maybe the school was going to act secretly.

But at dusk, they heard some information from outside.

According to disciples of other groups who had also come back from the City of Bear, several assassins of the Black White School had shown up after Jiang Chen was trapped in the Realm of Beasts.

What a great amount of assassins!

Everyone realized what a dangerous situation Jiang Chen was in.

The killers arrival could be traced back to when the Third Prince had left the City of Bear.

Jiang Chen had landed in the square to study the other schools’ portals.

He found these portals were only accessible to those who had come here through them.

No wonder the Third Prince had left so assuredly.

“Jiang Chen, any messages you want us to pass on?”

Most interestingly, some people even asked Jiang Chen whether he had any last words.

In their eyes, Jiang Chen didn’t have much time left.

There was food and places to live. It wouldn’t be too difficult to stay here for half a year, but when everyone else was gone, the tactical formations would stop working and infinite monsters would come to him.

By then, the City of Bear was already rather deserted. There were still people in the streets, but there were less and less.

Suddenly, killers wearing black and white masks appeared at the edge of the square and walked towards him.

Jiang Chen was right. There were indeed killers of the Black White School in the Realm of Beasts, but he hadn’t expected them to have stayed back as well.

At that moment, there were only a few portals open in the square. The Black White School was an organization dedicated to assassination, not like a school or sect. They weren’t qualified to travel through the portals of the Realm of Beasts.

This meant they had accepted the fact that they had to stay in the Realm of Beasts in order to kill Jiang Chen.

“Looks like the Black Dragon City paid a lot,” Jiang Chen murmured.

Killers of the Black White School were classified into four levels—Sky, Kill, Earth, and Extinction.

Jiang Chen had killed an assassin of Extinction level before. At that time, there were ten killers of this level, and two killers of Earth.

He could tell their levels by the number of red tears on their masks.

The few people remaining in the City of Bear were more scared to see these killers than they were to see the Third Prince.

They felt very sorry for Jiang Chen. Things could always be worse; they finally understood what this sentence meant.

They didn’t want to be involved, so they hurried to run into the portals.

In the end, in the whole Realm of Beasts, in the entire City of Bear, only Jiang Chen and twelve killers of the Black White School remained.

Jiang Chen was still sitting there. He glanced at the silent killers before him and said, “Say something. You shouldn’t forget the opening remarks.”

The killers stayed still, their eyes ice cold.

“I’ve got some things to ask you. How will you leave here after killing me?

“Why did you wait until now?”

Jiang Chen asked two questions in a row.

“The profile didn’t mention you were a chatterbox,” an Earth-level killer said.

“I’ll die here anyway. Why bother keeping quiet?”

“You’re the Black White School’s target.” What a simple reply.

“Fine. The Third Prince is more powerful than you two. Even he can’t kill me. How are you going to do it?” Jiang Chen said.

Hardly had his voice vanished when he flew into the air, but when he looked down, he was surprised to see there was no one in the square.

He looked around and found the twelve killers had him under siege, standing in the air.
