The Brilliant Fighting Master

Jiang Chen stayed in his room. The reduced bronze cauldron was rotating

around his hands.

“Azure Demon, you know what this is?”

The bronze cauldron was crucial for him. He had to know it better.

Azure Demon was from the Three Lower Realms. He might know something

about it.

“Never heard it,” Azure Demon said straightforwardly.

Jiang Chen had to study it by himself. He tried to understand the characters

carved on the cauldron.

But he gave up soon, because it was too time-consuming.

However, he got some good news, too.

Jiang Chen found the bronze cauldron still had abundant energy after the

consumption.

This meant its lethality could be compared to a Celestial Venerable’s.

No matter how many Spiritual Venerables came, they would all die.

As to Celestial Venerables, they would at least survive.

At midnight, Jiang Chen found the Sea Conqueror started to rise. He guessed

they had left the sphere of influence of the Evilest Island.

It was true. When the Sea Conqueror had come back to the surface of the

sea, they couldn’t see any island anymore.

People above the Reaching Heaven State already could fly.

However, the great formation of the Sea Conqueror was still on. Anyone that

wanted to embark or disembark had to get Fan Tianyin’s permission.

Jiang Chen wasn’t afraid of the tactical formation. His concern was the

weapons on the Sea Conqueror.

He came to Fan Tianyin and Tang Shiya’s room in a hurry.

As soon as he stood in front of the door, the door was open.

Fan Tianyin was standing opposite to him. There was a complicated look in

her expressive eyes.

“She doesn’t deserve your caring.”

Then Fan Tianyin brushed past him.

Jiang Chen didn’t take it to heart. As soon as he entered the room, Tang

Shiya jumped into his arms.

Nothing big happened. It was just she had a palm print on her cheek.

Tang Shiya held Jiang Chen tightly without speaking.

“Why did she do that to you?” Jiang Chen asked.

“It’s all right,” Tang Shiya said gently.

The gentler she was, the more heartbroken Jiang Chen felt.

He came onto the deck and saw Fan Tianyin talking with Tu Tiandao and

others.

Fan Tianyin heard him come, so she sent her men away.

“What’s up?” Fan Tianyin said.

“It’s between us. It’s time to put an end to it.”

Jiang Chen looked serious. He would rather turn against her.

Even though the weapons on the ship were aimed at him once again, nothing

could change his mind.

“Looks you like that woman a lot. You’ll know the taste of betrayal,” said Fan

Tianyin.

“What are you suggesting?”

Fan Tianyin turned. She didn’t answer him, but posed a question, “You know

why I am wearing a veil and took the oath?”

Jiang Chen wanted to say he wasn’t interested to know, but she sounded so

sorrowful that he didn’t have the heart to say it.

“My family is the Drifting Cloud Sect, a second-rate force in the Realm of True

Force, far worse than the Top Ten Sects and Schools, the Four Aristocratic

Families and the Three Dynasties.”

“However, I was a talented kid, so I got into the Sacred Martial Arts Institute

and made contact with a different class.”

“But it brought me trouble, too.”

“The son of the leader of the Tianyi School wanted to rape me, so I killed

him.”

“The fire of rage of the Tianyi School demolished the Drifting Cloud Sect. Both

of my parents died.”

“The Sacred Martial Arts Institute, who claims themselves to be fair and

unbiased, stood on the Tianyi School’s side.”

“I was exempt from the death penalty because I was a member of the Sacred

Martial Arts Institute.”

“But the leader of the Tianyi School hated me, because I killed his son. He

knew his son had liked me, so he wanted to force me into a ghost marriage, to

force me to get married with a dead person.”

“I declined. I would rather die. However, the Sacred Martial Arts Institute

regarded me as a dangerous woman, who would bring them into trouble.

They wanted me to swear I wouldn’t get married for my whole life.”

“I did what they told me to do, but I secretly changed the oath a little bit. I put

on the veil and took the oath you already know.”

She told a sad story.

However, when Fan Tianyin was speaking, there was no big change in her

tone. She sounded she was reciting a book.

But Jiang Chen knew some people couldn’t cry anymore, because they had

cried so much that they didn’t have any more tears to shed.

“So!”

Fan Tianyin turned. The wind lifted a corner of her veil.

Jiang Chen recalled that pretty face immediately, so pretty that made people

forget to breathe.

“I came onto the sea and became the head of these pirates. I swore I would

find the Treasure House of the Lord of Sea to revenge my parents!”

Fan Tianyin sounded emotional. The anger and sorrow in her eyes turned into

a burning flame.

“You…”

Jiang Chen didn’t know what to say.

Fan Tianyin went on, “The map piece you have is the only one I lack. Go with

me to look for the Treasure House of the Lord of Sea.”

Getting so much information in an instant, Jiang Chen was suddenly lost.

“Or, after finding the Treasure House of the Lord of Sea, I’ll give you the

control of the Sea Conqueror, so that you can go back to the Evilest Island to

save those people,” Fan Tianyin went on.

Jiang Chen was very surprised. He said, “You said that because you know

we’re different.”

“It’s because I know more than you do. Many people died because of the Ten

Symbols Alliance. I won’t feel it a pity if it’s eliminated.”

“But the other people are innocent, aren’t they?” Jiang Chen said.

“The Evilest Island is very dangerous. Nine out of ten of them will die. Or even

ten out of ten will die.”

“Have you ever thought that the Extreme Primordial Fruits the survivors have

got are basically nothing compared with the greed of Top Ten Sects and

Schools?”

As Fan Tianyin had said, she knew more than Jiang Chen did.

Jiang Chen’s curiosity was piqued. He wanted to know what that was about.

“Those people are what the Ten Symbols Alliance sacrifices to the Evil Spirit

of the Evilest Island. They will get onto the island to grab the Extreme

Primordial Fruits later.”

“The survivors will think it’s because they are good that they’ve survived. And

they’ll tell everyone how great the Sea Conqueror is.”

Under his gaze, Fan Tianyin told him the truth about the Evilest Island.

Jiang Chen was shocked. He didn’t expect the Ten Symbols Alliance to be

darker than he had imagined. They were crazy.

Then Jiang Chen said, “You are wrong about one thing. I was betrayed many

times.”

“Many of those who I had helped or even saved wanted to kill me or blame

me.”

“So why are you still so good-hearted?” Fan Tianyin was surprised. She didn’t

understand why.

“The world needs light because it’s too dark.” Jiang Chen was extremely

serious as he spoke.

Fan Tianyin didn’t speak for a good while. Then she asked, “What are you

gonna do?”

“Let’s go treasure-seeking.”

Jiang Chen still looked serious. He took his map piece out.

“What?”

Fan Tianyin wasn’t prepared for that. It was such a great change, but Jiang

Chen looked like it was nothing special.

“I only try my best to save people. I’ll need the Sea Conqueror to save those

people from the Evilest Island. If I capture it by force, there must be a big fight.

The Sea Conqueror can even be destroyed.”

“Then why did you say it was time to put an end to it?” Fan Tianyin had never

met a person like Jiang Chen.

He couldn’t be tagged.

If she had to find a way to describe him, she would say he was always being

himself.

“Because Tang Shiya’s sibling disciples are still on the island. I had to do it for

her sake.”

“But you told me about what the Cloud Symbol Alliance had done. They don’t

deserve to be saved.”

“What I told you is true.”

Fan Tianyin took the map. She said, “And don’t forget we’re in the same

boat.”

She meant the oath. Jiang Chen smiled bitterly at her.

“By the way, what I said about Tang Shiya is also true. Take care. Watch out

for her.”

Fan Tianyin laid stress on the warning.
