Chapter 2236: Chapter 2240: Do You Know Your Crime?

”Yuan Chong, can you do it?”

Si Huang’er was filled with a trace of shock in her eyes, looking at Yuan Chong with some uncertainty.

Yuan Chong hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly, ”I’ll give it my all, maybe I can do it!”

”Haha! Haha... I told you my disciple is invincible at the same level! How about that? How about that!?”

Hu Yiqiu laughed out loud, his face full of pride.

Jian Cangqiong and the others also quietly let out a sigh of relief, a faint smile appeared on their faces, and they showed a trace of comfort and pride in their eyes.

However, the smiles of the crowd came and went quickly. Nine people from the three major forces had died in a row, and everyone at Changlin Academy knew that this account would probably be settled on Jiang Chen’s head by the three major forces.

”Jiang Chen! How dare you kill someone in front of the Princess Chang! Do you not regard her with any respect?”

A roar sounded, and Cheng Jianlin shouted angrily.

Having suffered a loss once, he learned to use Princess Chang to his advantage this time.

”Family Head Cheng, did any of those six lose their combat power before I launched my attack?”

Jiang Chen looked at Cheng Jianlin calmly.

Cheng Jianlin paused slightly and shouted angrily again, ”Even if not, but...”

”Everyone present saw their attack just now. There was no holding back. Given this, can’t I give my all?”

Jiang Chen interrupted Cheng Jianlin sharply: ”Or are you saying that your Cheng Family can deal lethal blows to others, but others can’t do the same to your Cheng Family members? Family Head Cheng, isn’t that too domineering?”

”You...”

Cheng Jianlin was at a loss for words, not knowing how to counter!

”Young man, do not distort the words of Family Head Cheng here!”

Zhang Qingyuan spoke with a dark tone: ”Family Head Cheng is saying that Princess Chang openly stated that no one dared to kill in her presence, yet you immediately defied her orders. Is this a challenge to her authority?”

”Jiang Chen, if you cannot explain yourself today, I’m afraid I’ll have to detain you. The Princess once again represents the Great Emperor, and the dignity of the Great Emperor is not to be challenged!”

Zhang Yubo noticed Princess Chang was about to speak and instantly interjected.

Princess Chang was stunned for a moment, suddenly frowned. If it were her personally, it wouldn’t matter, but Zhang Yubo directly invoked her father, which was beyond her capacity to handle casually!

Jian Cangqiong and others furrowed their brows. Zhang Yubo’s move was indeed brilliant. If the accusation of challenging the Great Emperor’s dignity was solidified, they could not protect Jiang Chen. Who on the Changlang Continent dared to challenge the Great Emperor’s might?

Hu Yiqiu and Sang Zhenye’s faces turned instantly somber, spiritual power quietly circulating within them, ready to act at any moment.

Jian Cangqiong is the principal of Changlin Academy. If he acted, the charge of challenging the Great Emperor would be directed at Changlin Academy. But the two of them had no such scruples. If Zhang Yubo decided to act, they would certainly take Jiang Chen away.

Not only them, but Zhang Daoling at the center of the second-tier platform and Zhang Sanfeng at the fringe also prepared themselves.

Jiang Chen was the Dragon Descendant, the Guardian God of their Yuan Star. They couldn’t watch Jiang Chen get in trouble, regardless of offending the Canglan Great Emperor!

Everyone in the plaza fixed their gaze on the thin figure on the stage, all aware that his life would be determined by his next words. However, they couldn’t figure out how he would unravel this situation!

It seemed the Domain Lord really wanted Jiang Chen dead!

The crowd muttered in their hearts.

”Haha! Good! Well said!”

Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Chen suddenly burst out laughing, then corrected his expression, looking righteously at Zhang Yubo and the other two: ”You three, since you know that Princess Chang declared no one dared kill in her presence, killing in front of her is akin to challenging the Great Emperor’s might, do you plead guilty?”

”What?”

”What’s he saying? Do the Domain Lord and his associates plead guilty?”

”What’s going on?”

”What does he mean?”

Everyone was dumbfounded, even Hu Yiqiu, Princess Chang, and Zhang Yubo were momentarily stunned.

”Why? Haven’t you noticed? Princess Chang doesn’t allow anyone to kill, yet your three forces’ people made lethal moves in battle. Don’t tell me those attacks weren’t meant to kill me!”

Jiang Chen spoke coldly: ”They proclaimed before the fight that they would kill, isn’t this challenging Princess Chang’s might and the Great Emperor’s authority? Though I already executed these six fools daring enough to challenge the Great Emperor’s authority, you three are still here distorting the truth. Do you think Princess Chang is blind?”

”This...”

The surrounding people were stunned, this sudden reversal left them momentarily at a loss.

But thinking carefully, indeed it was Cheng Yaohui and the other five who first stated their intent to kill Jiang Chen, and their attacks were certainly lethal.

This made it seem that killing those six could be seen as upholding the Great Emperor’s authority, whereas Zhang Yubo and the others were using this to accuse Jiang Chen, which indeed seemed like twisting facts.

Zhang Yubo and his two companions’ faces changed suddenly, all furrowing their brows. None of them had expected Jiang Chen to turn their accusations back on them so effectively.

They definitely couldn’t bear this accusation!

”He’s right!”

Hu Yiqiu instantly reacted, thrilled beyond measure, ”Kid, you’re something else!”

He stood up and looked at Zhang Yubo and the others, shouting: ”Domain Lord Zhang, Family Head Cheng, Sect Master Zhang, do you think Luan’er is blind?”

Princess Chang had already started smiling at Jiang Chen’s questions, feeling relieved. If Jiang Chen had died because she was present, she couldn’t have faced Hu Yiqiu.

Upon hearing Hu Yiqiu shout, Princess Chang was shocked, suddenly standing and looking at Hu Yiqiu: ”What... what did you just call me?”

Hu Yiqiu was slightly taken aback. In his excitement earlier, he had blurted out what he used to call Princess Chang, and upon hearing her, he stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to say momentarily.

Seeing Hu Yiqiu’s demeanor, Princess Chang understood that questioning further might cause Hu Yiqiu to distance himself again, so she quickly turned to Zhang Yubo, ready to rebuke him.

”You’re full of nonsense, boy, courting death!”

A roar of anger sounded. In the brief moment before, seeing Jiang Chen reverse the deadly situation and turn it against them, Cheng Jianlin couldn’t hold back any longer.

Swish!

Cheng Jianlin’s figure flickered and disappeared from where he stood, reappearing directly in front of Jiang Chen, viciously striking at him with a palm.

Jiang Chen’s heart trembled fiercely, gritting his teeth, preparing to activate the Essence Blood left by Shadowless Sword Emperor in his Sea of Consciousness for one final attack.

Although using the Essence Blood would certainly be noticed by Zhang Yubo, at this moment it was beyond concern!
