Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 1997: Chapter 2000: Zhang Sanfeng?

Inside the main hall of the Town Lord Mansion.

After Qiu Ying and the other three left, Lin Yuyan and Zhuang Chengjiang followed into the Town Lord Mansion.

”Family Head Zhuang, thank you for what you did earlier.”

Jiang Chen nodded towards Zhuang Chengjiang.

Although Jiang Chen wasn’t afraid of fighting Qiu Ying and the others, Zhuang Chengjiang acted in his best interest, and he should be thanked for that.

”Young Master Jiang, you’re too kind. You helped us get rid of the four big families and that villain Zhang Chenggang from Molten Fire Town—this is a great favor to us! What I did is nothing!”

Zhuang Chenggang quickly waved his hand.

”Family Head Zhuang, you’re here... to find out when I’m leaving, right?”

Jiang Chen smiled lightly as he looked at Zhuang Chenggang.

Zhuang Chenggang’s face changed, a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

”Family Head Zhuang, don’t worry, I don’t mean anything by it. Now that my cultivation is complete, and I’ve extracted the Earthfire Crystal, I was already planning to leave. I just have a few questions to ask you.”

Jiang Chen gestured reassuringly, speaking softly.

”Young Master Jiang, please ask. Whatever Zhuang knows, I will tell you without reservation.”

Zhuang Chengjiang breathed a sigh of relief and gestured for Jiang Chen to proceed.

”I grew up in the mountains and don’t quite understand things outside, so I have some doubts about recent events.”

Jiang Chen first explained, then started asking, ”Isn’t the position of Town Lord appointed by the associated city? Why has Molten Fire Town’s original Town Lord been dead for three years without anyone replacing him, and instead, it has been occupied by Zhang Chenggang for three years? And what about this Heavenly Sword Sect?”

”Oh, that’s how it is.”

Zhuang Chengjiang chuckled, ”The Changlang Continent is governed by the Great Emperor, divided into thirty-two major domains, with each Domain Lord personally appointed by the Great Emperor. Each domain contains varying numbers of prefectures, and each Prefecture Head is appointed by the Domain Lord. The Prefecture Head then appoints the City Lords within, each City Lord appoints the Town Lords.”

Saying this, Zhuang Chengjiang gave a bitter smile, ”Our Molten Fire Town is just a border town, ranking at the bottom among dozens of towns in Fenglin City. The City Lord doesn’t pay attention to us, as long as we pay tribute every five years, he doesn’t care who is the Town Lord.”

”This...”

Jiang Chen was startled, was it really so casual?

”As for the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

Zhuang Chengjiang’s expression became serious, ”Young Master Jiang should know, although the Great Emperor governs the continent, not all cultivators are under the Great Emperor’s jurisdiction, there are numerous forces present. The Heavenly Sword Sect is a force in our Shenmu Prefecture not much weaker than the Prefecture Head Mansion, together with three other forces and the Prefecture Head Mansion, they are called the five top forces of Shenmu Prefecture!”

”The five top forces of Shenmu Prefecture.”

Jiang Chen murmured softly, it seems that although the Changlang Continent is said to be ruled by the Canglan Great Emperor, it’s not exactly like the era during Yuan Star where everything was the king’s land.

”Young Master Jiang, if you want to leave, it’s best to leave Fenglin City quickly. Liu Jianming is not only a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, but also the Young City Lord of Fenglin City. The Heavenly Sword Sect acts openly and fairly, and this time he is at fault first, they won’t make trouble for you, but Liu Jianming might not let you go so easily.”

Zhuang Chengjiang suggested softly.

”He’s also the Young City Lord of Fenglin City?”

Jiang Chen furrowed his brows lightly, this could be a bit tricky.

”Young Master, you could join the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

Lin Yuyan suddenly spoke up, ”The four people who came here are probably involved in recruiting disciples for the Heavenly Sword Sect. They recruit new disciples in various cities every three years, and the recruitment event is happening in a few days. If you join the Heavenly Sword Sect, you won’t have to worry about Liu Jianming causing trouble.”

”Join the Heavenly Sword Sect...”

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, pondering to himself.

Jiang Chen has now reached the Semi Divine Infant Realm, in his situation, breaking through to the Divine Infant Realm requires integrating and comprehending all the Great Dao insights he possesses. Jiang Chen’s insights for each Dao have reached the necessary breakthrough standards, he just needs to integrate them fully.

He doesn’t have much experience in this area, and he doesn’t even have a cultivation technique for after the Divine Infant Realm, so he does indeed need to join a force to learn.

But...

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, having just offended someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect, joining them could bring some trouble.

”Yes, Young Master Jiang can join the Heavenly Sword Sect, your aptitude will surely be valued by the sect, and the person presiding over this recruitment in Fenglin City is Yin Yang Sword Zhang Sanfeng predecessor, known for being upright, he definitely won’t collude with Liu Jianming!”

Zhuang Chengjiang agreed.

”What? Who did you say?! What’s his name?”

Jiang Chen was taken aback, looking at Zhuang Chengjiang in shock.

Zhuang Chengjiang was puzzled, ”Yin Yang Sword Zhang Sanfeng, predecessor Zhang? What’s the matter?”

”Zhang Sanfeng!”

Jiang Chen’s breath quickened, looking at Zhuang Chengjiang excitedly, ”Is his technique Taiji Sword and Taiji Fist?”

”That... I don’t know.”

Zhuang Chengjiang smiled wryly, ”I am just a small cultivator at the Unification Realm, while predecessor Zhang is a legendary Void Refinement Realm expert. I’ve only heard this name, as for what cultivation technique he practices, how would I know.”

Sigh!

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, excitement showing in his eyes, ”If it’s really him... it seems I must make a trip to Fenglin City!”

”Young Master Jiang, if you are going to Fenglin City, it’s best to hide slightly before participating in the recruitment, otherwise if Liu Jianming finds out, he will definitely cause trouble for you!”

Zhuang Chengjiang gently warned.

Jiang Chen nodded but didn’t really pay attention, his mind was filled with wondering if this Yin Yang Sword Zhang Sanfeng was the Zhang Sanfeng he knew!

Based on the information known from Yuan Star, someone did break through space and leave a thousand years later, but whether Zhang Sanfeng passed away or left nobody could confirm.

Nonetheless, Jiang Chen has to go to Fenglin City to meet this Zhang Sanfeng and personally ask if he is the Taiji Grandmaster!

This news could be the best Jiang Chen has heard since he came to the Void Nether world!

Since coming to the Void Nether world, Jiang Chen has never had a sense of belonging, always feeling like an abandoned child, now hearing there might be another Yuan Star person nearby, he couldn’t hold back!

Seeing Jiang Chen’s expression, Zhuang Chengjiang was completely reassured, although he did not know why Jiang Chen was so excited upon hearing about Zhang Sanfeng, Jiang Chen leaving was a certainty.

”Young Master Jiang, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

Zhuang Chengjiang stood up to say farewell.

”Thank you, Family Head Zhuang!”

Jiang Chen stood up and expressed his gratitude.

The initial thanks were polite, but this time, Jiang Chen was genuinely grateful to Zhuang Chengjiang.

Zhuang Chengjiang politely made his exit, turning and leaving the drawing room.
