CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 389, LI CHANJI IS HERE_1

The Loyal Justice Association comprised three great clans: the Dong, the Xu, and the Qin. The upper echelons of the Loyal Justice Association arrived swiftly.

Representatives of the three great clans all gathered. However, upon reaching the village, they discovered that the originally full bottle of fifth-grade Curse-lifting Potion had been reduced to half. This remaining amount was only enough for a few hundred people.

The curse was successfully lifted for people from eighteen villages.

Seventeen people stood behind Ba Jie, facing interrogation from the three great clans.

Ba Jie simply stated, "It has been used up. That’s all that’s left."

"Ba Jie, do you have any regard for the Loyal Justice Association?"

"Don’t think that just because your master is Bai Yun you can act recklessly. Your master is no longer part of the Loyal Justice Association."

"Where is the person who gave you the Potion?"

Ba Jie replied, "He’s already gone."

"What’s his name?"

"Chen Jinnan."

"If he had the Potion, he must surely have more. No matter what, we need to obtain this Potion. Contact him immediately."

"He has none left. He handed all the remaining fifth-grade Potions to me."

"Then how did this Chen Jinnan get hold of the Potion?"

"Not sure."

"Why didn’t you ask?"

"Why should I have asked?" Ba Jie retorted.

An Elder roared angrily, "Do you have the Loyal Justice Association in your heart at all? Don’t you know how important this Potion is to the Loyal Justice Association? If we could get this recipe, we could allow the Wanderers to remove their marks!"

"Furthermore, we can overlook your private use of the Potion, but only on the condition that you must contact your friend Chen Jinnan and ensure he provides us with new Potions."

"Ba Jie, don’t forget your identity. You’re a Wanderer, not a Hero."

Ba Jie said, "I can’t contact him anymore."

"Then you must come with us."

Ba Jie nodded. "Alright."

"Captain, you can’t go!"

Ba Jie laughed. "It’s fine. I’ve already informed my master; he is aware of this matter."

The Elders from the Loyal Justice Association heard this and were startled.

Bai Yun.

He was a top expert of the Loyal Justice Association, a Wanderer who had once challenged the Gods, and was considered by them to be the closest to a God. Bai Yun’s title was Sword God.

Ba Jie was his disciple. Even if taken to the Loyal Justice Association, they wouldn’t dare to do much to him.

Who would dare trouble Bai Yun’s disciple?

The mere name commanded a degree of respect from all Wanderers.

Jiang Chen hurried to the village. Upon seeing Chen Haiming, he asked, "Where’s Ba Jie?"

"He was taken away by the Elders of the Loyal Justice Association."

"Which direction did they go?"

"Eastwards. They left about two hours ago. But don’t worry, Ba Jie is Bai Yun’s disciple and also the Vice-Chairman’s younger martial brother. They wouldn’t dare to harm the Captain."

Jiang Chen asked, "Did Ba Jie make any arrangements for you all?"

"Not yet. We’re waiting for his return. He said he’ll lead us to another world then."

Jiang Chen nodded and turned towards the east.

I’ll follow them first and see what happens.

At this moment, Ba Jie was following the group of Elders.

A few of them looked towards Ba Jie, who was walking ahead, and whispered among themselves.

"What should we do? If we actually return to the headquarters, we won’t be able to do anything to Ba Jie."

"Bai Yun aside—he was originally one of us—but don’t forget, Ba Jie also has an elder martial brother who is the nominal Vice-Chairman."

"So, what you two are suggesting is..."

The three exchanged glances, a silent consensus reached.

Ba Jie sensed the three Elders slowly approaching him and immediately had a bad feeling. They’re going to make a move. The Curse-lifting Potion was a matter of great importance; they were undoubtedly desperate to know where these Potions came from.

They wanted to discover the secret of the Curse-lifting Potion.

Just then, a figure appeared ahead. Ba Jie smiled.

How did he follow me here?

Ba Jie stopped in his tracks.

The other dozen or so people also halted.

Jiang Chen said, "You won’t make it back to the Loyal Justice Association’s headquarters."

"It seems not," Ba Jie replied.

"What are your plans now?"

"To become a tavern keeper."

Jiang Chen laughed. "That’s not a bad idea."

"Who are you?" one of the Elders demanded.

"My name is Chen Jinnan."

The others were aghast. This young man is Chen Jinnan?

He was the one who gave Ba Jie the Potion?

An Elder stepped forward to inquire, "Was it you who gave the Potion to Ba Jie?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any Potion left on you now?"

"Sorry, I don’t."

"Did you create this Potion?"

"Sort of."

"What do you mean, ’sort of’? Did you create it or not?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "If I said I created it, you’d be planning to kidnap me and force me to make Potions for you, right? But you’re overthinking it. This Potion was created by my friend."

"Who is your friend?"

"My friend is your grandfather’s son."

One Elder looked puzzled for a moment, then his face flushed with anger. "Kid, you dare to mock me? This isn’t a place for your insolence! This is not the Continent of All-Gods!" The Elder was about to attack but was stopped by the person beside him.

Another Elder stepped forward. "Chen Jinnan, we are from the Loyal Justice Association. Our Loyal Justice Association wishes to befriend you. If there’s anything you need in the future, feel free to ask."

"What a pity."

"A pity? About what?"

"A pity that I’m not interested in befriending people like you."

"If not friends, then enemies. Chen Jinnan, you should think this through carefully."

"Becoming enemies is better than becoming friends."

"So, you’re determined to become our enemy?"

"Yes."

The dozen or so men drew their Longswords, their killing intent palpable. If not friends, then enemies; and against enemies, they always let their swords do the talking.

Jiang Chen’s mind focused, and he immediately activated his Wan Jian Gui Clan’s Skill. Various buffs stacked upon him as he faced three sixth-stage powerhouses and over a dozen third-stage Masters.

These three, in particular, were much like Granny Jinhua, possessing robust True Qi and having already developed their Domains.

The air crackled with tension; a battle was imminent.

"Well, well, Elders Dong, Xu, and Qin of the Loyal Justice Association. Are you planning to make a move against the helmsman of our Heavenly Earth Association?"

Jiang Chen didn’t turn around. He knew who had arrived.

Granny Jinhua.

How did that old lady get here too? PAH! PAH! No, I mean, the Master’s wife.

It wasn’t just Granny Jinhua who had arrived; Li Chanji was also there, followed by two men. Both of these men were Sixth-stage Experts. They walked over to stand before Jiang Chen.

At this moment, the expressions of the three Elders from the Loyal Justice Association turned grave.

People from the Heavenly Earth Association?

Chen Jinnan is actually a member of the Heavenly Earth Association!

Ba Jie was also taken aback. He had no idea Jiang Chen was part of the Heavenly Earth Association. When did he join them?

Jiang Chen asked, "How did you get here?"

"When I heard that the Loyal Justice Association had acquired a Potion, I knew it had to be your handiwork," Granny Jinhua said. "It seems I’ve arrived just in time."

"You’re wrong."

"I am?"

"Your timing isn’t right."

If they hadn’t come, Jiang Chen had been prepared to eliminate the Loyal Justice Association members. However, their arrival meant the opportunity was lost.

The Loyal Justice Association and the Heavenly Earth Association both belonged to the Wanderers’ Alliance and were also two of the five major powers. If a war broke out between them, it would be no less significant than a large-scale battle between the Continent of All-Gods and the Difiled God Camp.

Elder Dong stepped forward. "He’s a Hero. How can he be your man from the Loyal Justice Association? Do you have any proof?"

"My Young Master is right here in front of you. Are you blind?" Granny Jinhua retorted.

Elder Dong was momentarily at a loss for words.

He didn’t recognize Li Chanji, but he certainly knew Granny Jinhua. She was a renowned Elder of the Heavenly Earth Association. Moreover, he also recognized the two Elders standing behind her.
