Chapter 89: Ranked Eighth in the Prince List
Translator:Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor:Nyoi-Bo Studio
The news about the mine had been spread widely throughout the Vermillion Bird City.
Eight people had been looking for treasure in the mine. Suddenly the mine started to shake. The eight people became panicked and escaped. However, the ground beneath them suddenly collapsed.
The eight fell down and fainted. When they woke up, they saw a passage that had been previously unknown to people.
They decided to follow the passage after discussion, and they came out with fruitful results. Someone had even found a class-six spiritual weapon.
It shocked the whole city. According to those eight, they were too afraid to go to the end of the passage and fled before arriving there.
This was to say, there could be many more treasures down there.
So why didnt you take any action? Arent you afraid others will go ahead of you? Wen Xin didnt buy the story completely, so she questioned Deagle.
Deagle smiled and said, Princess, its not that simple. No one knows the exact location of the passage. Those eight explored the way separately. It took them days to walk inside the mine. And only four of them finally made it out. The other four could have died inside.
So those four could be our maps.
One of them is from the Grand Qi State. He told me about the news. Wu Fan, show your spiritual weapon to the princess.
A youngster around twenty-five years old walked out of the group of people behind Deagle. He observed the surroundings carefully first, before taking out a weapon.
It was a dagger!
Its length was between a small knife and a small sword. The tip of the blade was triangular. Its periphery was as black as ink, while the center was red, carved with a complicated pattern.
Jiang Chen sensed a dangerous air from the dagger.
Since its radiance was black, Jiang Chen couldnt capture the feeling precisely, but he vaguely sensed this dagger could cut anything easily.
The youngster was afraid that others would see it, so he hurried to take it back.
Eh?
Jiang Chen laid his eyes on the youngster. There was something in the middle of his forehead, but he turned around quickly and went back to the group.
What do you think, princess? Do you want to explore the treasures with me? Deagle smiled proudly, expecting Wen Xins reply.
Brother, dont let her take advantage of you. Dorchid wasnt happy about this. She didnt like Wen Xin, because Wen Xin had refused her brothers proposal and humiliated the Grand Qi State.
Although it was because Deagles proposal had been too abrupt, Dorchid couldnt blame her brother, so she had to blame Wen Xin.
It certainly will be dangerous. I wont take advantage of your brother and sacrifice nothing. Of course Ill help, Wen Xin glanced at Dorchid and said calmly.
This would truly be a adventure for them to practice!
It was now or never.
These are my subordinates. Theyll come along with us, Wen Xin said, pointing to Jiang Chen and Meng Hao.
If she said they were her sibling disciples, Deagle might not agree to take them, but if she claimed they were her subordinates, Deagle surely wouldnt oppose.
Jiang Chen and Meng Hao understood Wen Xins intention, so they changed their expressions and behaviors, pretending to be her loyal attendants.
Deagle and Dorchid glanced at Jiang Chen and Meng Hao, showing no interest in them.
Sure thing, Deagle agreed quickly, but before he said yes, he confirmed Jiang Chens state. That was the only reason why he agreed.
Shall we go now? Dorchid couldnt stop her brother, so she had to accept it as well.
Now?
Wen Xin was surprised. She had just arrived in the Vermillion Bird City. They hadnt found a place to stay yet, and they were already going to explore treasures. It seemed too sudden and fast.
Yes. We wont act alone. The other three people were approached by other groups. After discussion, we decided to start together. In this way, with the four people together, the map will be more accurate, Dorchid said very quickly. She looked very impatient.
All right. Wen Xin rolled her eyes. If this was a conspiracy against her, she had to say it wasnt smart enough, because she could lay bare this lie by simply asking around.
So they started with Deagles group. Along the way, they heard people talking about the mine.
The four groups would gather outside the city, so they could basically be sure that Deagle wasnt cheating them.
However, Jiang Chen was still frowning and glanced at Wu Fan from time to time.
Anything wrong? Meng Hao noticed his expression and asked.
Yep, there is something not quite right, but I cant say what that is, Jiang Chen said.
Then they saw the other three teams, all led by celebrities of the Fire Field.
Look. Thats Gao Chenyi, ranked eighth on the Prince List!
Even Wen Xin was a little excited. She pointed to the group with the most people.
Jiang Chen looked over. He could instantly tell which one Gao Chenyi was, even without Wen Xins introduction.
One must have an extraordinary appearance and temperament if he was ranked on the Prince List.
He was in luxurious dark blue outerwear, with a tiger print white leather belt tied around his waist. He was tall and looked bright and brave.
His piercing eyes could seemingly gain an insight into any secret in the world.
There were quite a few handsome men in his group, but none as brilliant as him.
Jiang Chen laid his eyes on Gao Chenyis wrist. He was wearing a jade green bracelet. It was a spiritual weapon that could save his life.
However, he was only wearing luxurious outerwear, in contrast to those wearing protective clothing or even armor.
As a result, it looked to Jiang Chen like he was paying too much attention to his appearance.
But judging from others expressions, Jiang Chen knew he was the only one seeing Gao Chenyi that way. The others only thought him handsome and brave. Many women couldnt look away from him.
The other two groups were a gang and disciples of the Isle of Sky.
The Isle of Sky was also one of the top ten sects and schools in the Fire Field.
It was no worse than the Natural Law School. In fact, it was difficult to compare between the top ten sects and schools, since they were each good at different things.
It was worth mentioning that the Isle of Sky was an isle floating in the sky, as its name said.
Gao Chenyi was ranked eighth on the Prince List, so he must be frank and honest. He could be trusted.
The Isle of Sky didnt have any problems with the Natural Law School, so they wouldnt cause any troubles, either. But the gang made Wen Xin and Meng Hao worried.
It was called the Gang of Knife and Sword, a gang founded in the Vermillion Bird City. They certainly were not kind people.
It was true. The group was formed by fierce, big men.
Jiang Chen noticed that no one was in the Mental Wander State among the four groups.
This was unusual. Although the Vermillion Bird City was a popular place for people in the Gathering Yuan State to go on adventures, the city was divided by several forces. Without the support of people in the Mental Wander State, it would be difficult to survive there.
This meant only one thingthose in the Mental Wander State were hiding in the dark.
The four groups were not stupid. They knew there certainly would be battles among them during the exploration.
Fine. We have everyone here. Lets go! Gao Chenyi shouted. The four groups left for the mine.
