Chapter 599 597: The Heavens Are About to Change

"No..."

After the Soul-Breaking Wood shattered, Mr. Gu knew Jiang Chen's curse had been broken.

He let out an indignant roar.

His eyes turned red.

"This can't be happening. It can't be."

"This shouldn't be possible."

But nothing could stop the Soul-Breaking Wood from shattering.

The next moment, a wave of discomfort washed over Mr. Gu.

A sharp, inexplicable pain pierced his heart, and his entire body began to convulse.

Wen Shixi was panicking now. Truly panicking.

The Soul-Breaking Wood had cracked. Jiang Chen... was terrifying.

However, right now, he was more worried about Mr. Gu.

"Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu, are you alright?"

He lunged forward, trying to help Mr. Gu up.

SPURT, SPURT, SPURT...

Suddenly, Mr. Gu began coughing up blood, splattering it all over Wen Shixi.

He convulsed, but still managed to say with difficulty, "The Blood Curse... Jiang Chen broke it. It's starting to backfire on me."

Wen Shixi's face drained of color.

Mr. Gu was the only one he could rely on. Now that Mr. Gu was suffering from the Blood Curse's backlash, it meant he was in extreme danger. His life might be forfeit.

"Mr. Gu, can you be saved?"

He asked urgently, "What can I do to help you?"

He couldn't afford for Mr. Gu to die.

After convulsing for a moment, Mr. Gu suddenly got to his feet.

His tone was laced with terror. "You can't help me."

"I have to return to the Witch Race immediately."

"Wen Shixi, I'm leaving. I can't help you anymore."

"I might... never be able to come back. Goodbye."

With that, a disheveled Mr. Gu rushed out of the Third Prince's palace and began to flee.

He knew his time was running out.

Not only was he facing the backlash from the Blood Curse, but with Jiang Chen's curse lifted, the hunt would begin.

If he fell into Jiang Chen's hands, his death was certain.

Escape. His only hope was to escape, to flee back to the Witch Race and beg for help. That was his only chance of survival.

The curse's backlash was severe, and could even kill him, but the Witchcraft of his Witch Race was also an existence that defied the heavens.

Even resurrecting the dead was possible for them.

"Mr. Gu..."

Wen Shixi was thrown into a state of panic and confusion.

His body trembled slightly.

Jiang Chen was alive. That meant he would now have to face Jiang Chen's terrifying retribution, and perhaps even be killed by him.

The man he had once regarded as an ant could now no longer be stopped even by a curse.

Terrifying. Utterly terrifying.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen and the others left Moyun Mountain.

They didn't linger in the Qianye Kingdom, heading straight for Hanwu City in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom.

「Hanwu City, the Jiang Family estate.」

At this moment, the Jiang Family members all felt as if they were waking from a nightmare.

Because, they had all suddenly recovered.

It was as if they had all just gotten over a long illness.

Patriarch Jiang Han summoned the clan members to the family's main hall.

"Patriarch, we've all suddenly recovered. What... what in the world happened?"

"It feels incredible. I thought I was on the verge of death."

Every clan member looked shaken, with lingering fear in their eyes.

Seeing his clansmen so happy, Jiang Han felt a genuine joy well up from his heart.

However, his biggest worry right now was still his son, Jiang Chen.

Xiao Yun frowned. "I wonder how our Chen'er is doing."

Jiang Han said, "We're all fine. Our son is blessed by the heavens; he must be fine too."

"That's right. I believe the curse on us was broken because of our son."

Everyone quickly agreed with this sentiment.

In the Jiang Family, only Jiang Chen was an omnipotent existence.

"The Young Master is back! The Young Master is back!"

Suddenly, a clan member's excited shouts came from outside.

Instantly, everyone stood up in unison and looked toward the entrance of the main hall.

And sure enough, they saw Jiang Chen walk in from outside, leading a group of people.

"Son."

"Young Master."

Whether it was Jiang Han, Xiao Yun, or any other member of the Jiang Clan, they all gazed at Jiang Chen with excitement.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"Father, Mother."

"My fellow uncles and clansmen."

Jiang Chen bowed to the crowd. "I've made you all suffer. But now, the Jiang Family is safe."

Instantly, the clan members erupted in cheers.

Then, their eyes fell on the people following behind Jiang Chen.

They all gasped.

"Heavens, that person... his Cultivation is unfathomable."

"These... every one of them is at least a Martial King Expert!"

They were stunned by the experts behind Jiang Chen.

Although the Jiang Family had the ability to kill a Martial Emperor Expert, that was only by relying on the Infinite Sword Array Jiang Chen had left behind.

The person with the highest Cultivation in the Jiang Family was only a Martial King.

But now, everyone with Jiang Chen was a Martial King or above. They couldn't even see through Mr. Qiu Shui's Cultivation at all.

Even Murong Xiangming, whom they had met before, had reached the Martial King Ninth Heaven of Cultivation.

Jiang Han said hurriedly, "Son, please introduce your friends."

Jiang Chen pointed to Mr. Qiu Shui and introduced him. "This is Mr. Qiu Shui, the former President of the Alchemist Guild in Gambling City."

BOOM!

The Jiang Family members were in an uproar. The President of the Alchemist Guild in Gambling City! A figure like that was a lofty existence, someone an ordinary person could never hope to meet.

The Jiang Family members were about to bow in respect to Mr. Qiu Shui.

Mr. Qiu Shui spoke politely to the Jiang Family. "Everyone, there's no need for formalities. I am now a follower of Young Master Jiang Chen."

What?

The Jiang Family were all stunned. Mr. Qiu Shui was a follower of Jiang Chen? It was like a bolt from the blue, leaving them unable to process it.

Everyone had to take a deep breath just to calm themselves down.

"This is Miss Murong, the young miss of the Treasure Elephant Pavilion."

Jiang Han and the others all recognized her.

However, as Jiang Han and Xiao Yun looked at Murong Xiangming, a certain glint appeared in their eyes.

With the Jiang Family safe, Jiang Chen could finally relax a little.

After spending some time with his family, Jiang Chen left the others and returned to his own courtyard alone.

His courtyard held traces of Liang Yiyi's presence. Jiang Chen looked around, feeling a wave of emotion.

'Wait for me. I will find a way to cure you.'

Jiang Chen clenched his fists tightly.

But at this moment, what filled his heart even more was an astonishing killing intent.

The killing intent nearly soared into the heavens.

'Mr. Gu. I am alive, which means your time of death has arrived.'

Jiang Chen was now determined to kill Mr. Gu.

This man had already dug out his Martial Vein once before. Now, he had done something even more vicious, attempting to annihilate his entire Jiang Family. He was utterly deranged.

Jiang Chen stood in Liang Yiyi's room within the courtyard for a long time before finally taking a deep breath.

He didn't linger any longer.

'It's time to begin.'

'Fire Sparrow Kingdom... the heavens are about to change.'

'I, Jiang Chen, will trample the Fire Sparrow Kingdom flat.'

Jiang Chen walked out of the courtyard.

He returned to the family's main hall.

"Elder Qi, I promised you that I would help you recover your legs."

"These are a Muscle Regeneration Pill, a Bone Regeneration Pill, and a Blood Creation Pill. Take all three Elixirs at the same time, and they will be enough to restore your legs."

During the Jiang Family's recent calamity, Elder Qi had made a great contribution. Jiang Chen had promised before to help him restore his legs.

Now, he had refined the necessary Elixirs.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Elder Qi was overcome with emotion. He knew that his earlier decision to join the Jiang Family had been the right one.
