"My condition is simple: I hope you will step aside. Of course, considering your status, I can spare your life," Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
Even when Ye Xiaoying brought out the official authority to intimidate Jiang Chen, it was of no use. Jiang Chen did not want to engage with the officials too soon, not out of fear, but to avoid trouble.
Ye Xiaoying froze; who would have thought that Jiang Chen would not even give face to the officials?
"Ye Jian Sheng, I have something to discuss with you. Let's talk privately," Li Fushi interjected, reading the situation well. He understood that Jiang Chen might be slightly wary of the officials. After all, with Jiang Chen's personality, he could kill without a second thought. The fact that he suddenly claimed he wouldn't kill Ye Xiaoying still showed some respect for the officials. Thus, Li Fushi stepped in as a mediator.
On one hand, he could help Jiang Chen avoid trouble; on the other hand, he could do Ye Xiaoying a favor.
Li Fushi's intervention was welcomed by Ye Xiaoying.
The two stood over a hundred meters away from Jiang Chen, whispering to each other.
Everyone watched intently, naturally believing that Ye Xiaoying would not give Li Fushi any face, especially since she had just disregarded Jin Weichu's authority.
About five minutes later, Li Fushi turned around and called out to Jiang Chen, "Mr. Jiang, Ye Jian Sheng has no objections."
The crowd was stunned; some couldn't believe that Ye Xiaoying had actually been persuaded by Li Fushi.
Now, truly no one dared to obstruct Jiang Chen.
Even those from Tianlang Palace did not dare to act recklessly.
Jiang Chen lightly leaped and flew directly to the entrance of Sword Immortal Ruins before disappearing from sight.
Once inside the Sword Immortal Ruins, the members of Hidden Sect erupted in excitement and surrounded Li Fushi, asking about who exactly Jiang Chen was.
"Let's not pry into Mr. Jiang's affairs; honestly, I don't know much either," Li Fushi replied with a smile.
"Elder Li, how could you possibly not know? At least tell us whether Mr. Jiang is one of us from Hidden Sect or someone from the mundane world?" someone inquired.
"Mr. Jiang comes from the mundane world," Li Fushi stated. He wasn't lying; he genuinely knew little about Jiang Chen's background.
"Elder Li, while you may choose not to discuss Mr. Jiang's matters, can you at least share how you managed to persuade Ye Jian Sheng?" someone asked curiously.
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed," Li Fushi replied mysteriously.
Meanwhile, Ye Xiaoying quietly retreated to a secluded spot where no one was around. She took out a pill and consumed it while meditating to recover and regain her strength.
Li Fushi's earlier words still echoed in her mind: Ishii Ansei had fallen at Jiang Chen's hands.
Ye Xiaoying had initially thought that since Ishii Ansei was killed by Jiang Chen, if she could defeat him, it would be a way to redeem herself for her past defeat against Ishii Ansei. However, Li Fushi’s next statement completely shattered her hopes.
"Mr. Jiang killed Ishii Ansei effortlessly. To be honest, even if there were a hundred of you, none would stand a chance against Mr. Jiang."
This sentence left Ye Xiaoying utterly dejected. He had no doubts about Li Fushi's words; from Jiang Chen's earlier actions, it was clear just how powerful Jiang Chen was. Just now, Jiang Chen had likely only used a fraction of his strength to kill Jin Weichu.
In the Sword Immortal Ruins, the deeper one went, the darker it became. However, darkness was not an issue for Jiang Chen, who summoned Spirit Fire to light his way.
Along the long Stone Path, many ancient swords lay scattered—Bronze Swords, Iron Swords, wooden swords, Bamboo Swords, and Azure Steel Swords. Most of these swords had decayed and oxidized over the passage of time, but they still held archaeological value. If an archaeologist were to see them, they would surely be thrilled.
