NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 50
Chapter 50 Don’t Court Disaster, Are You Unafraid Because of Ignorance? (2)
“What do you mean by that? Are you relying on your deep cultivation to think that my Huan Yan Ancient Sect has no experts?” The leading knight’s face turned somewhat ugly upon hearing Jiang Minghan’s words.
Although they were far from the Huan Yan Ancient Sect, having crossed domains to chase their targets, the Huan Yan Ancient Sect was a dao lineage that had existed for millions of years. It was not an obscure sect without reputation or strength.
The opponent’s words clearly indicated he didn’t take their sect seriously.
“Is the Huan Yan Ancient Sect really that powerful? I truly haven’t heard of it,” Jiang Minghan replied calmly, shaking his head.
Seeing Jiang Minghan’s nonchalant demeanor, the knight’s face grew even more unsightly.
He couldn’t see through Jiang Minghan’s cultivation. Even after invoking the name of the Huan Yan Ancient Sect, the other party remained indifferent.
There were only two possibilities: either Jiang Minghan’s level was so high that he had never heard of them, or he had heard of them but didn’t care.
Either way, it meant Jiang Minghan didn’t consider him a threat.
“Who exactly are you? My Huan Yan Ancient Sect is acting under the orders of the Tianlong Nest to capture these two. I advise you not to interfere.”
“The powerful beings of Tianlong Nest have decreed that these two must be brought back. If you aren’t afraid of offending Tianlong Nest, feel free to stop us,” the knight said, gritting his teeth, trying to pressure Jiang Minghan.
Tianlong Nest was an eternal dao lineage in the Three Thousand Dao Domains, part of the Wanlong Ridge lineage.
Wanlong Ridge was a peak power, and its ancestors had produced true dragons, beings comparable to immortal realms.
Hearing this, Wang Yu and Zhao Shao Yue felt a tightness in their hearts.
During their escape, they had come to understand how terrifying Tianlong Nest was; no cultivator would remain composed upon hearing its name.
“Immortal brother, please don’t meddle in our affairs…” Zhao Shao Yue said anxiously, her eyes dimming.
Though thrilled and grateful for Jiang Minghan’s help, she didn’t want to drag him into their mess.
“Thank you for your assistance, but we have offended Tianlong Nest. They won’t rest until they capture us,” Wang Yu added, not wanting Jiang Minghan to be implicated.
Seeing this, the leading knight sighed in relief, a smile returning to his face, thinking Jiang Minghan would retreat.
“If you’re wise, you’ll mind your business and avoid courting disaster. Otherwise, you’ll regret offending a force you can’t contend with…”
However, before he could finish speaking, his smile froze.
“Even Long Huang of Wanlong Ridge wouldn’t dare say that to me. Your courage is commendable. Is it because ignorance breeds fearlessness?” Jiang Minghan said with a calm expression, smiling faintly.
“Lord… Long Huang…”
The leading knight’s face paled upon hearing this, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
Long Huang was the heir of Wanlong Ridge, with terrifying talent and status, destined to stand at the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Dao Domains.
Who was this young man before him to speak such words?
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, his eyes filled with boundless fear, feeling a chill down his spine.
“Master…”
At that moment, divine rainbows descended outside the mine.
Several young supreme beings with terrifying auras appeared.
Their expressions were cold, scanning the knights around them. The power of their qi and blood was overwhelming, making the knights’ faces change in fear.
“Kill them,” Jiang Minghan said calmly. “They bully the weak and slaughter the innocent. They deserve to die.”
“No…”
The leading knight’s face changed drastically as he tried to retreat.
Next moment, the roars of fierce beasts echoed, brilliance filled the air, and the sound of swords and sabers clashing surrounded the space.
Amidst the screams and bloodshed, all the knights were filled with terror, trying to escape.
But no matter how fast they were, they couldn’t outpace Jiang Minghan’s followers and servants. In an instant, blood stained the sky, and all the knights perished.
Soon, peace returned. Many mining slaves in the distance trembled in fear.
Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu were equally stunned, their eyes wide with shock.
They didn’t have a clear concept of power hierarchy, but they knew how terrifying Tianlong Nest was.
And the Wanlong Ridge behind it was like a colossal being, transcending and overseeing the world.
Countless forces were insignificant like grains of sand before it.
“Who is this immortal brother really? So powerful…” Zhao Shao Yue’s eyes sparkled with excitement and admiration as she stared at Jiang Minghan.
Wang Yu, more composed, felt an unprecedented urge to pursue power.
She had a long way to go, and compared to such a colossal force, she was as insignificant as dust.
“Thank you for saving our lives,” Wang Yu said sincerely, calming herself before expressing gratitude to Jiang Minghan.
If it weren’t for him, she and Zhao Shao Yue would have been captured or worse by the knights.
“Thank you, immortal brother, for saving me and Sister Yu,” Zhao Shao Yue stammered in gratitude, suddenly feeling nervous.
She remembered they had secrets, and it was because of these secrets they were hunted by the Huan Yan Ancient Sect.
In this strange and unpredictable world, having treasures or secrets could pose a great danger once known.
“Master, what should we do with these two?”
At that moment, divine rainbows returned.
Among them were a girl with golden wings, a burly man with eyes like brass bells, and knights exuding a bloodthirsty aura.
They were all powerful, radiating an intimidating presence, standing respectfully behind Jiang Minghan.
They glanced at Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu with cold eyes before respectfully asking Jiang Minghan for instructions.
Hearing this, Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu tensed up again.
“You don’t need to worry. My followers mean no harm,” Jiang Minghan said gently, looking at them with a calm and casual demeanor.
“But Master, I suspect they have secrets. Otherwise, with their cultivation, why would they be hunted till now, even involving Tianlong Nest?”
One of the followers spoke, his eyes shining like golden lamps, staring at Zhao Shao Yue and Wang Yu.
It was obvious to anyone paying attention that the two girls harbored secrets or possessed treasures.
Otherwise, the knights wouldn’t have chased them across domains, determined to capture them.
