Chapter 844: Chapter 841: Mei Xiuying’s Whereabouts_1
That was the strength of Golden Claw. It had the ability to face multiple people without falling behind with just its own power. Numbers meant nothing in front of Golden Claw!
This was only the beginning, and as time went on, Golden Claw would become even stronger.
Now that the Black Dragon Sect martial artists were fleeing in panic, Yang Chen didn’t pursue them. He knew that chasing them would be meaningless, as he couldn’t possibly kill all of them at once.
He was not such a brutal person, and since he couldn’t kill them all, Yang Chen decided to stop.
Yang Chen only showed his ruthlessness to Elder Mu because, when dealing with scum, ruthlessness was necessary. Showing leniency would only make these scum more reckless and indulgent!
After the Black Dragon Sect martial artists had left, Golden Claw roared loudly and went into the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space.
In this environment of shattered rocks and collapsing mountains, only Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying were left.
Jiang Caiying’s clothes were in disarray. After fixing herself up a bit, she spoke cautiously, “Thank you for saving my life, benefactor. I don’t know your name.”
“My name is Wang Zhuihe,” Yang Chen didn’t plan to reveal his real name.
Jiang Caiying furrowed her eyebrows and said after a moment of thought, “That shouldn’t be your real name. Although you saved me, I should repay you. But I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before, and I don’t know Wang Zhuihe. I also don’t think Wang Zhuihe would save me. Who are you?”
As she spoke, Jiang Caiying suddenly retreated four or five steps, her eyes gradually showing a vigilant expression. She was like a frightened bird, and any slight movement would make her panic, guarding herself with her wings.
“… ”
Yang Chen didn’t expect Jiang Caiying to be so vigilant, but he quickly understood it.
That’s right. During this time, Jiang Caiying had been living on the run. She must have suffered a lot. It was perfectly normal for her to be this vigilant because if she hadn’t been, she would have been caught long ago.
Yang Chen sighed, “Miss Jiang, it doesn’t matter who I am. I want to know how Senior Mei Xiuying is now.”
“If you don’t tell me who you are, I won’t tell you about my master!” Jiang Caiying said resolutely, her lips slightly open.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chen was stunned and then shrugged helplessly.
“Alright, Miss Jiang, since you insist, I’ll tell you who I am.” Yang Chen took out a silver needle and did some work on his face.
After a few moments, his appearance had changed significantly.
“Yang Chen!” Jiang Caiying exclaimed in shock, “How did you get here? You’re so impulsive, so many forces are trying to kill you now, how… ”
Yang Chen said with a bitter smile, “Miss Jiang, actually, the appearance I had just now and that name would have been fine. But you insisted that I reveal my real self, and now that you know who I am, are you satisfied?”
Jiang Caiying couldn’t help feeling somewhat guilty.
She knew very well about Yang Chen’s current status. Countless people wanted to kill him, and the slightest hint could spell disaster for him if it reached those various forces.
And yet, she had forced him to reveal his identity.
With this thought, Jiang Caiying quickly said, “You better change back to the appearance you had just now, as long as I know who you are, that’s enough!”
Yang Chen nodded and said, “My identity doesn’t matter. In fact, Miss Jiang, I’m more curious about what happened to Senior Mei and yourself.”
With that, Jiang Caiying’s face became crestfallen, and she said sadly, “It was like this: originally, the Black Dragon Sect didn’t dare to touch my master, but after the incident with the Purple Qi Secret Realm, the Black Dragon Sect began contacting various major forces in the outer domain. Somehow, they started crazily looking for my master!”
“There’s something like this?” Yang Chen always wondered about the reason, and now that he heard it, he found it quite absurd.
Something so sudden?
Yang Chen knew there must be a reason and continued listening.
As Jiang Caiying spoke, tears rolled in her eyes. She was just a woman, after all. Who could imagine the hardships she had faced during this time? Who could imagine the despair she and her master felt when they were chased and killed by others?
“My master would have had no problem escaping by herself… but because of me…” Jiang Caiying clenched her teeth, “My master left me her High-Grade Mysterious Heavenly Treasure, the Great Shift Gold Bead. If it weren’t for that, could my master not escape?”
“Great Shift Gold Bead?” Yang Chen was suddenly taken aback as he had some impression of this treasure. It was a real treasure, not something that a Thousand Miles Instant-Travel Talisman could compare to.
With the Great Shift Gold Bead, one could instantly teleport to somewhere outside a county!
The size of a county would make even a Sky Martial Realm martial artist give up, unless they were at an Emperor-level strength.
If it weren’t for this, Jiang Caiying would have been caught long ago under the pursuit of the Black Dragon Sect. The reason she hadn’t been caught might have been because of the Great Shift Gold Bead. However, for Jiang Caiying, such a thing might only be usable a few times, which was why she was now at the end of her rope, with the Great Shift Gold Bead becoming meaningless.
This truly was an example of the High-Grade Mysterious Heavenly Treasure’s prestige. After all, even Sky Martial Realm martial artists wouldn’t have such treasures.
“So, Senior Mei Xiuying… ” Yang Chen’s heart clenched.
Could it be that Mei Xiuying was dead?
“My master doesn’t seem to have any problems. When I didn’t use the Great Shift Gold Bead to escape, the Black Dragon Sect thought I couldn’t escape, so they didn’t hide their secrets. They didn’t plan to kill my master but wanted to catch her and hand her over to another force.” Jiang Caiying said with a serious expression.
“Which force?” Yang Chen asked curiously.
“Ling Nvzong…” Jiang Caiying bit her shell teeth softly.
“What, Ling Nvzong?” Yang Chen suddenly thought of Hua Wanru!
Yes, he didn’t know if Mei Xiuying knew the secret of him being killed by Hua Wanru back then. However, he believed that if Mei Xiuying had found any clues, she wouldn’t have been on good terms with Hua Wanru!
Moreover, it was worth mentioning that Mei Xiuying had come to the Eastern Region from the Central Region. It was obvious that Mei Xiuying must have had some conflicts with Hua Wanru to end up here. Otherwise, there would be no reason for Mei Xiuying to leave the Central Region.
What exactly happened back then?
There were still many mysteries surrounding his previous life.
Yang Chen looked at Jiang Caiying with his keen gaze, waiting for her to continue.
Jiang Caiying bit her lip slightly, and without concealing anything, she said, “My master, Mei Xiuying, had a feud with Ling Nvzong a long time ago. I don’t know the specific details, as my master rarely mentioned it. I think that Ling Nvzong must be behind my master’s capture.”
Yang Chen nodded, and it was very likely that this was the case.
Ling Nvzong probably didn’t want to take action in the Thirty-six Eastern Counties and had the Black Dragon Sect do it.
