Chapter 705: Ao Xi Pays a Visit

Jiang Chen had successively defeated Tang Yuan, Hai Xunyi, and Ao Xi—three geniuses from the Kingdoms.

For a moment, the scene fell silent.

No one spoke.

Even Tang Yuan and Hai Xunyi, who deeply hated Jiang Chen, were frightened by his terrifying Combat Power.

They never expected Jiang Chen to defeat even Ao Xi.

Ao Xi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

She said coldly, “Very well. You’ve defeated me.”

“I’ll win next time.”

Geniuses have their pride. Although Ao Xi was not as talented as her sister, Ao Xue, she was still an undeniable genius in her own right.

With this, she was giving herself a way to back down gracefully.

Jiang Chen neither confirmed nor denied it.

“I’ll be waiting.”

At that moment, Jiang Chen turned to the last person: Tian Ci from the Qianye Kingdom.

The Qianye Kingdom was the strongest of the Five Nations Alliance.

And Tian Ci was the most formidable young genius in the alliance.

Tian Ci was looking at Jiang Chen, and he noticed Jiang Chen’s gaze on him.

Their eyes met.

Sparks seemed to fly between them.

However, Tian Ci was the first to break the silence.

“Brother Jiang, I have no interest in being this so-called representative.”

“Since you’ve defeated the three of them, I’ll cede the position to you.”

The moment Tian Ci spoke, Tang Yuan and the others, who had expected him to make a move, were completely stunned.

That Tian Ci would directly hand over the representative’s position to Jiang Chen was completely unexpected.

But since Tian Ci himself had said so, there was nothing they could do.

Just like that, Jiang Chen had become the representative—the leader—of the Five Nations Alliance for this matter.

At least, when it came to finding the Angel, he would be in command of the other four.

Jiang Chen was visibly taken aback.

He was surprised that Tian Ci had no intention of fighting for the position at all.

He nodded. “Thank you, Brother Tian Ci.”

“In that case, I’ll take on the role of representative.”

“Does anyone else have a problem with that?”

He glanced around at Tang Yuan, Hai Xunyi, and Ao Xi.

Of the three, Ao Xi was noticeably silent.

Only Tang Yuan and Hai Xunyi’s faces were ashen. Their lips moved, but they were no match for Jiang Chen.

In the end, they obediently shut their mouths.

Each of them just let out a huff.

They said nothing more.

With that, Jiang Chen’s position as representative was solidified.

“Good. No objections.”

“Then for this mission, you will follow my command.”

The Angel was currently right by Jiang Chen’s side, so naturally, he had to find a way to stop these people.

Although he had a feeling he might not be able to truly stop the Divine Wind Empire’s plans…

…he would do his best, starting by stalling the members of the Five Nations Alliance.

“Since you all acknowledge me as the representative, the Xingyuan City Lord’s Mansion will be our base of operations from now on.”

“We will discuss all matters at the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“Does anyone have anything else to say?”

As it turned out, no one did.

Tang Yuan and Hai Xunyi both looked furious.

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, they flicked their sleeves and stormed off.

Ao Xi remained silent for a moment, glanced at Jiang Chen, and also turned to leave.

Tian Ci left the restaurant as well.

And so, the Five Nations Alliance gathering disbanded on a very unhappy note.

Jiang Chen saw no need to stay at the restaurant either and returned to Chenxi Pavilion.

However, he had barely set foot back in Chenxi Pavilion when a familiar figure appeared at the entrance.

It was a woman: Ao Xi, the Princess of Snow Country.

She looked up at the large sign for Chenxi Pavilion, her eyes ice-cold.

“Chenxi Pavilion,” she murmured.

‘I heard my sister was defeated by the master of this Chenxi Pavilion.’

‘Today, I’ll see for myself what he’s made of.’

With that, Ao Xi resolutely walked into Chenxi Pavilion.

Upon entering Chenxi Pavilion, Ao Xi scanned the room. Her gaze quickly landed on a familiar person.

Who else could it be but Jiang Chen, the very man who had defeated her just a short while ago?

“What are you doing here?”

Ao Xi was slightly surprised to see Jiang Chen.

Although she had been defeated by him, she didn’t show any hostility and took the initiative to greet him.

Jiang Chen was also surprised to see Ao Xi.

He gave a faint smile. “What a coincidence, seeing Princess Ao Xi here.”

“What brings you here? Looking to buy a Magical Treasure?”

Ao Xi nodded.

“That’s right. I want to buy a Magical Treasure.”

“Oh? You’re with Chenxi Pavilion?”

The realization suddenly dawned on Ao Xi, and she looked at Jiang Chen with renewed surprise.

Jiang Chen didn’t deny it.

“Indeed, I am.”

“Feel free to look around. If Lady Ao Xi finds a Magical Treasure she likes, I can assure you Chenxi Pavilion will absolutely not offer a discount.”

Hearing this, Ao Xi was stunned for a long moment.

When she finally processed it, she broke into a charming smile. “I, Ao Xi, am not so poor that I’d worry about that.”

“However, I’ve looked around and haven’t seen any Magical Treasures that catch my eye. Could I trouble you to ask Chenxi Pavilion’s Artifact Refiner to come out? I’d like to commission a custom Magical Treasure at a high price. Money is no object.”

She wanted to see the Artifact Refiner from Chenxi Pavilion, the one who had been able to defeat her sister and kill her sister’s fiancé.

She had rarely encountered such a figure.

After all, her sister was a true prodigy of immense talent, always dominant and never having met her match.

Yet she had been defeated by the Artifact Refiner of Chenxi Pavilion.

She had even heard that this Artifact Refiner’s Artifact Refining Technique was no worse than her sister’s.

Jiang Chen rubbed his chin.

“That would be me. What kind of Magical Treasure would you like to commission? You can tell me.”

Ao Xi froze once again.

She stared at Jiang Chen in shock, her face a mask of disbelief.

“It’s you?”

She almost cried out in astonishment.

She had never imagined that the one who defeated her sister was actually Jiang Chen.

Not only had Jiang Chen defeated her sister, but he had also defeated her just a short time ago. Both sisters had lost to him.

This made Ao Xi’s eyes go wide.

Immediately, she took a few deep breaths, trying her best to calm down.

“It was really you?”

She was reluctant to believe it.

But it seemed that Jiang Chen was indeed capable of such a feat.

Inside, however, she was in utter turmoil.

Because a short while ago, Jiang Chen’s Cultivation was only at the Martial Arts Sect Second Heaven. He had only just broken through to the Martial Arts Sect Third Heaven in the restaurant.

And when he was just at the Martial Arts Sect Second Heaven, he had managed to defeat her sister, who was at the Martial Arts Sect Fifth Heaven at the time!

Even Tian Ci was no match for her sister.

Now that Jiang Chen’s Cultivation had broken through to the Martial Arts Sect Third Heaven, it meant his strength was even greater than before.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Chen was simply monstrous.

“What is it, Princess Ao Xi? You know of me?”

Jiang Chen looked at Ao Xi, puzzled.

He seemed to pick up on the change in her attitude toward him.

Ao Xi’s expression turned cold and indifferent.

“Originally, I wanted to meet the master of Chenxi Pavilion.”

“I didn’t expect it to be you. Since that’s the case, then forget it.”

She had already lost to Jiang Chen. Challenging him again now would just be asking for humiliation.

She could only extinguish the thought of challenging him.

After speaking, she turned to leave.

But just as she turned, she suddenly looked back and said coldly, “You defeated my sister and killed her fiancé.”

“Let me give you a piece of advice: prepare for her insane revenge.”

“Good luck.”

And with that, Ao Xi turned and left.
