Monarch Of Time

Chapter 470 - 470 Jiang Chenʼs story

ʼʼOf course. No wine is as good as Long-geʼs.ʼʼ

Surprisingly, Liu Mei was the first one to answer when she heard Jiang Chenʼs words, while her words were filled with pride and admiration.

Jiang Chen looked at her for a moment, but he surprisingly nodded his head and didnʼt refute her claim, as he turned his attention towards Shun Long. At the same time, the look in his eyes turned serious, almost as if he had finally decided on something, as he placed the empty cup of wine in front of him and said

ʼʼI donʼt know how you are connected to the Immortal Dimension, but you are definitely connected to it one way or another, and the power behind you is definitely not weak!

I also believe that you are not someone who is willing to join a weaker faction in the sect and you would much rather create one yourself. So, I will actually promise to join your faction as long as you are willing to help me.

No... as long as the power behind you is actually willing to help me, I will not only join you, but I will even agree to any terms! Even if I have to join the power behind you or do anything else that they ask, I will still agree to it as long as they help me!ʼʼ

A surprised look that Shun Long was unable to hide appeared on his face, as his eyes examined the black-robed young man in front of him who was staring at him seriously.

Jiang Chen had barely spoken from the first time that Shun Long had seen him during the fourth test, to the moment before he had drunk his wine.

And yet, not only did he now decide to speak, but he also dropped a huge bomb at Shun Longʼs feet.

With a calm look on his face, Shun Long first refilled his cup and Jiang Chenʼs, before he sat cross-legged on the ground once again and stared at the handsome black-robed young man in front of him, as he then asked curiously

ʼʼWhat kind of help do you want?ʼʼ

Jiang Chenʼs eyes lit up when he heard this. He wasnʼt afraid that his guess had missed its mark and that Shun Long wasnʼt actually someone who had a connection with the Immortal Dimension. After all, Jiang Chen had clearly felt that just Shun Longʼs bloodline alone was something extremely terrifying. Even his own bloodline trembled slightly in front of it.

What Jiang Chen was afraid of, was that Shun Long wouldnʼt be allowed to discuss anything about the power behind him, or that he didnʼt have enough authority to decide things. In that case, he would definitely decline without listening to Jiang Chenʼs request.

After taking a deep breath, the black-robed Jiang Chen then said seriously

ʼʼThis story starts even before I was born, nearly 50 years ago. My fatherʼs name is Jiang Tianfang and he was born in a relatively powerful family of the central region. He was actually considered as one of the strongest geniuses of the family and in just 110 years, he had actually managed to reach the Dao King realm.

As he roamed throughout the central region, one day, my father met an extremely powerful and beautiful woman, one whose beauty he had never seen before. The moment that he saw her, he felt his heart stirring and decided to court her with everything he had.

Finally, 2 years later, he managed to obtain her love and affection, and 3 more years later, they had a child together!

However, before the child could turn a year old, the womanʼs family actually found her. Before she and my father had gotten together, the woman told my father that she came from a very powerful family, one that was situated in the Immortal Dimension!ʼʼ

ʼʼWhen the womanʼs family found out that she was no longer ʼpureʼ they were furious and wanted to vent their anger. However, since the womanʼs position in her family wasnʼt low, they couldnʼt kill her or cripple her no matter how angry they were. Thus, they decided to kill the man who had tainted her as well as their child, and bring their heads back to the family.

Although the woman tried to stop them, she wasnʼt a match for the people from her family.

Of course, my father also decided to fight with them, but despite having considered himself strong in the past, he wasnʼt a match for any of those people either.

He wasnʼt even able to take a single blow before he was sent flying and was rendered helpless in front of them.

However, right as they were about to kill my father and the child, the woman threatened the people from her family that she was going to kill herself unless they stopped. If they stopped, she would agree to go back with them as long as they let my father and her child go.

The womanʼs family had to choose whether they wanted to take revenge, or take her back with them.

Finally, the most senior out of their group, an old man whose eyes were completely black, was the one who took the final decision.

He chose to take the woman back while he personally cut off my fatherʼs right arm.

Of course, since my father was also a body refiner cultivator, the old man made sure that my father wouldnʼt be able to regrow his right arm ever again in the future.

And yet, despite losing his arm, my father wasnʼt angered. Even though that was the arm that he used to hold his blade with, he still accepted this begrudgingly. After all, although he wasnʼt afraid of death, he knew that he was unable to take the woman back at that moment. Only if he became stronger in the future would he have a tiny sliver of hope.

However, the old man hadnʼt finished venting his anger just yet, and in front of my father who had just lost an arm and was being suppressed by 2 members of that family, and the woman who was also detained by 3 more, the old man then grabbed their child from the neck while he took out a small black dagger from his robes at the same time.

Then, in front of my fatherʼs and the womanʼs eyes, the old man slowly pressed the dagger below the childʼs left eye, creating a finger-sized scar.ʼʼ

As Jiang Chen finished speaking, Shun Longʼs eyes slowly landed on the small scar below Jiang Chenʼs left eye, but he didnʼt say a word. He could hear Jiang Chenʼs voice that had turned angry while there was also a hint of helplessness inside it.

After taking another deep breath, Jiang Chen then continued

ʼʼThat woman was the mother that I never met, a mother who decided to be voluntarily trapped by her family just so I and my father can stay alive... that woman is my mother.ʼʼ
