Chapter 3007 - 3010: No Need to Know

Canglan City, Changlin Street.

Ever since the Academy Alliance disbanded, Academy Street was reclaimed by the Si Family. When the people from Changlin Academy arrived, the street was then handed over to Changlin Academy.

The four great super powers of the Canglan Continent each occupy a street in the Inner City of Canglan City. This rule has been in place ever since the continent stabilized. Now, with the Academy Alliance withdrawing from the ranks of super powers, Changlin Academy just happened to take their place.

Changlin Street, Changlin Restaurant.

Changlin Restaurant sits at the very center of Changlin Street. It does not serve regular guests; it exists solely to house the people who manage Changlin Street for Changlin Academy.

At this moment, Changlin Restaurant was surrounded by a crowd, all pointing and gesturing toward the building.

On the first floor, in the main hall, three tables were occupied.

Two tables by the window, where Cheng Huang'er and the others sat.

After Jiang Chen left, they waited for a short while and then Tai Yuan arrived, delivering the message Jiang Chen had entrusted to him. The Flame Emperor had brought everyone to Canglan City, and then departed.

After discussing it, Cheng Huang'er and the others felt that if Jiang Chen came to the city, he would definitely come to take a look at Changlin Street, so they agreed to meet at Changlin Restaurant.

When they arrived, they saw that the two groups at the central table in the hall were in a standoff.

On one side sat Zhu Tianming and Hu Yiqiu.

Zhu Tianming and Hu Yiqiu had little interest in running the academy, and when it came to recruiting students, after having disciples and grand-disciples like Jiang Chen, there really wasn't anyone left who could stir their interest in teaching.

So the two volunteered themselves to come to Changlin Street to handle the handover. Once things settled down here, they would go back.

Everyone else from Changlin Academy had been dismissed by the two; this time, numbers were useless.

On the other side was the Third Prince, Si Wenzheng, accompanied by two brocade-robed youths. Both of these youths were in the Saint Realm.

"Third Prince, don't you think you're going too far?"

Zhu Tianming's face was dark as he glared at Si Wenzheng, anger flashing in his eyes.

"Zhu Tianming, I'm only here to negotiate. Since Jiang Chen can take out those things for trade, it proves he doesn't desperately need them. In that case, wouldn't it be better to trade them with me and let those resources go to people who truly need them?"

Si Wenzheng spoke with a light chuckle.

"You can't put it that way, Third Prince. Would you ever complain about having too few top-tier resources?"

Hu Yiqiu said coldly.

"Let's wait for Jiang Chen. I think he'll agree to trade with me."

Si Wenzheng smiled and stopped arguing with the two.

Hu Yiqiu and Zhu Tianming both frowned, looking at Si Wenzheng with suspicious eyes. They couldn't figure out where Si Wenzheng got the confidence that Jiang Chen would trade with him. That was Origin Power of the beginning itself!

At the window table, Liu Changfeng and the others also frowned.

"Little Princess, it seems the Third Prince wants to force Jiang Chen to trade cultivation resources with him."

Tang Jie glanced at Si Wenzheng and his entourage, a strange look flickering in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "What kind of resources does Jiang Chen have that even the Third Prince doesn't?"

Hearing this, Cheng Huang'er's expression shifted slightly. She lowered her head a bit, anger flickering in her eyes.

"Did you forget how we won the quota assessment?"

Xiang Wuhui spoke calmly. He glanced at the two standing beside Si Wenzheng, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Tang Jie's face changed, and Feng Xuan'er and Yue Muchen both tensed up.

Ren Cangsheng, Hei Chong, and the others looked over at Tang Jie's group, doubt flickering in their eyes, but they didn't ask. Whatever Jiang Chen had in his hands was not something they dared covet.

"You want to kill us?"

A cold voice rang out.

Everyone turned. The youth at Si Wenzheng's left was glaring fixedly at Xiang Wuhui.

Si Wenzheng and his people also turned to look over.

"Yes."

Xiang Wuhui met the youth's gaze and answered coldly.

Hum!

Suddenly, a vast aura erupted from that youth's body, pressing down sharply toward Xiang Wuhui.

"Presumptuous!"

Qiu Wenqing barked, his own aura surging forth.

"Senior Qiu, leave this to me!"

A cold voice sounded.

Hum!

A domineering aura appeared at the entrance of the restaurant and slammed into that youth's aura.

Hearing this, Qiu Wenqing withdrew his aura and turned toward the door.

Bang!

A muffled explosion sounded as the youth's aura was shattered by the collision, and an overwhelming pressure bore down on him.

The youth's expression changed slightly. His brows knitted as he turned his head toward the entrance.

"Jiang Chen, it was just a joke. Is this really necessary?"

Si Wenzheng smiled faintly toward the doorway. His own aura spread outward, ready to block Jiang Chen's pressure for the youth.

"Si Wenzheng, try moving and see what happens."

Another cold voice sounded, and a vast aura locked onto Si Wenzheng.

Si Wenzheng's expression shifted. He glanced at Zhao Buzu, who had entered along with Jiang Chen, and said coolly, "Zhao Zun, you'd best stay out of this matter."

"Whatever concerns my students concerns me."

Zhao Buzu stepped up to the table and sat down beside the youth being suppressed by Jiang Chen's aura.

"Greetings, Zhao Zun!"

Zhu Tianming and Hu Yiqiu both rose to offer a salute.

"Greetings, Third Elder!"

Liu Changfeng and the others also stood and saluted in turn.

"Master, Grandmaster!"

Jiang Chen greeted Hu Yiqiu and Zhu Tianming, then gave Si Wenzheng a glance before turning to look at the youth he was suppressing. "Do you know what crime it is to make a move in Canglan City?"

"Do you dare to kill me? Do you know who I am?"

The youth sneered.

"I don't need to know."

Jiang Chen said indifferently, "All I need to know is that you've committed a capital crime."

Hum!

Crackle!

Jiang Chen's aura suddenly soared. Pitch-black Thunderous Force erupted from his entire body, and a jet-black Thunderclap Longsword appeared above his head.

"Jiang Chen, you can't kill him, he is…"

Si Wenzheng's face changed. He cried out in alarm, his aura bursting forth as he reached out to pull the youth at his side.

"I told you not to move!"

Zhao Buzu roared, his aura flaring to the extreme and pressing down hard on Si Wenzheng. At the same time, a Thunderclap Longsword appeared above Si Wenzheng's head.

"Everyone, stop!"

A thunderous shout rang out as a figure appeared beside them.

"Big Brother!"

Cheng Huang'er called out, rising to walk toward the newly arrived Teng Wenkang.

"Do you dare kill me in front of Teng Wenkang?"

The youth's lips curled in a smirk as he looked at Jiang Chen with provocation.

"Cut!"

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold as he shouted.

Boom!

Thunder roared, and the Thunderclap Longsword came crashing down toward the youth.

The youth watched Jiang Chen, as confident as ever, without a trace of fear. He believed Teng Wenkang and Si Wenzheng would never let him die.

"Jiang Chen, stop!"

Teng Wenkang's face changed. His figure flashed as he leaped to Jiang Chen's side.

Thud!

A dull impact sounded as Teng Wenkang was sent flying backward. A figure stepped in front of Jiang Chen.

Swish!

Thunderlight flickered as the longsword descended.

"You dare…"

The youth's face twisted in terror as he tried to retreat in panic.

Unfortunately, he was too late!

The longsword cleaved down at the youth with lightning speed.
