The Brilliant Fighting Master Chapter 682 - Ji Yinyi

“That’s right.”

It occurred to Jiang Chen by then the t.i.tle Battle had been over. He asked

with regret, “You know anything about the t.i.tle Battle?”

He didn’t really care about the t.i.tle Battle, but he had this deal with the

Constellation Palace that he was going to have a fight with Young Master

Shenji.

And with Young Master Blood Moon, too.

“There are still seven months to go to the t.i.tle Battle.” The woman felt

suspicious. She put on guard.

“Seriously?”

Jiang Chen wasn’t very clear of how time was calculated in the Three Middle

Realms, but he knew all of the Nine Realms had the same definition for a day.

A day was 24 hours.

He knew the start day of the t.i.tle Battle. He had been carving signs on the

s.h.i.+p he had stayed on to count days.

According to the signs, eight whole months had pa.s.sed. That was out of

question.

And his beard was a proof, too.

However, judging from the two women’s reaction, Jiang Chen knew they

hadn’t lied.

He realized immediately that the s.h.i.+p he had stayed on could be located in a

special part of the Desolate Forbidden Land, where time flew much more

slowly than the outside world.

Just like the Time Palace of the Sacred Inst.i.tute.

Jiang Chen had the impulse to go back to the s.h.i.+p so that he could spend a

few more years in practicing there to achieve Celestial Venerable, but he

managed to hold it back.

The Desolate Forbidden Land wasn’t his paradise. As they spoke, the air s.h.i.+p

had traveled very far.

Knowing how dreadful the Desolate Forbidden Land was, Jiang Chen didn’t

want to take any risk there at all. If he had really gone back, he probably

wouldn’t be able to find that s.h.i.+p again, and when he came back to look for

this one, he probably wouldn’t find it, either.

I’ll buy a s.h.i.+p to look for it after arriving there. Jiang Chen made up his mind.

The lure of time was really surprising. The two women told him only four or

five days had pa.s.sed since he had entered there.

However, he actually had stayed there for eight months!

Although his vigor had also been consumed, he had eight months more than

the others in the outside world.

“What happened just now?”

At this moment, a group of people walked out of the cabin.

Jiang Chen noticed all of them were very young, about 25 years old. Most of

them were Spiritual Venerables. Only two of them were Celestial Venerables.

The one who posed the question was one of the Celestial Venerables. He was

good-looking, and his bald head shone like a bulb.

When he frowned, he looked awe-inspiring.

Whoever gazed at by him would somehow feel pressured.

“Here is the thing.”

The woman told him what had happened.

“You switched off the protection jar? Are you crazy?”

Informed of what had happened, these people weren’t piqued with any

interest about the reason that Jiang Chen had been traveling in the Desolate

Forbidden Land alive. Neither did they wonder how long Jiang Chen had

stayed here.

The only thing they cared was that single second!

“It’s safe as long as the protection jar is switched on again in five seconds. I

only switched it off for one second. What could be wrong?” the woman said

coldly, unhappy with that man’s att.i.tude.

“Ji Yinyi, we three share the control of the s.h.i.+p, but it doesn’t mean you have

the right to expose us to danger,” the man said.

Jiang Chen intuited that his words meant more than what he had said.

The two Celestial Venerables weren’t making a fuss. They were actually

inventing an allegation. They were accusing Ji Yinyi of dereliction of duty.

As to their objective, he had no idea what it could be.

“It was very urgent. It was about a man’s life. Should I have had a meeting

with you first? I have the right to make the decision, since I have a share of

the s.h.i.+p.”

A vehicle that could travel in the Desolate Forbidden Land couldn’t be cheap.

It sounded like they had bought the s.h.i.+p together.

“It’s thanks to luck that we are still fine. However, if anything had come up,

what could you do?” the other Celestial Venerable also questioned her

seriously.

“It’s safe within five seconds!” Ji Yinyi stressed.

“Are you 100% sure that nothing will go wrong?”

“Are you 100% sure that we’ll be completely safe in this trip?” Ji Yinyi

answered his question with a question.

Her question put all of them speechless. It was extremely risky in the Desolate

Forbidden Land. Anything could happen. No one could make any promise.

“I think you should give up your right to control the s.h.i.+p,” the bald man said.

“You finally spoke out what you wanted.”

Ji Yinyi threw them a disdainful look. She said, “Let me tell you one thing. It’s

absolutely out of the question!”

Seeing the air charged with tension, Jiang Chen felt bored, since he knew

there was no way they would get into a fight.

Because they were in the Desolate Forbidden Land.

The two Celestial Venerables started to attack Jiang Chen verbally since they

failed to force the woman to do what they wanted.

“This guy is quite suspicious.”

“Hey, that’s enough. I have no idea why you want to take away her right to

control the s.h.i.+p, but since no fight will happen anyway, why are you wasting

your time on the quarrels?” Jiang Chen cut in.

The two Celestial Venerables were still thinking how to put the words, but

Jiang Chen suddenly pointed out the fact so bluntly. The shame made them

angry. They started to yell at him.

“Did he say anything wrong?” Ji Yinyi said before they could even start.

“Huh, let’s wait and see. You will be responsible for whatever comes up!”

The two Celestial Venerables left the deck and went back to the cabin with the

others, who were also in anger.

Jiang Chen looked over apologetically. He said sincerely, “I’m sorry for the

trouble I brought you.”

“It has nothing to do with you. Anyway, they will look for all kinds of excuses to

make things difficult for me,” Ji Yinyi said with a cold smile.

“Why is that?”

“We are from different desolate lands. We bought the s.h.i.+p together. These

two somehow achieved some agreement on the way. They want to get rid of

me.”

Rolling her eyes, Ji Yinyi threw Jiang Chen a glance. She said, “You’ve known

so many things about me. Can you also be frank with me?”

“My name is Jiang Chen. I am from the Three Lower Realms. I escaped into

the Desolate Forbidden Land because some people were chasing me. They

tried to kill me,” Jiang Chen said.

The teenager girl couldn’t help but smile. She said, “I have never heard about

anyone taking shelter in the Desolate Forbidden Land.”

“You are crazy.” Ji Yinyi couldn’t believe it, either.

“That’s how people describe me,” Jiang Chen said, smiling.

Ji Yinyi shook her head. She said, “What happened then? Why did you say

you had been here for eight months?”

Jiang Chen told her about the s.h.i.+p. He also told her how slowly time flew

there.

“Check my beard and you’ll believe me. I didn’t have the habit to grow a

beard,” Jiang Chen said.

The two women looked at him seriously. They believed most part of his story,

and exclaimed how peculiar the story was.

“Desolate Forbidden Land really has a well-earned reputation,” Ji Yinyi

exclaimed.

The teenager girl agreed, “Sis, I heard a story about a great Venerable. He

was taking adventure in the Desolate Forbidden Land. For some reason, he

stayed a few more days in there. When he got out, thirty years had pa.s.sed

outside.”

Jiang Chen had never heard of the story. There was no way to confirm

whether it was true or false, either. He only felt lucky that the same thing didn’t

happen to him.

“Are you going to the big desolate land with us?” Ji Yinyi asked.

“For the t.i.tle Battle?” the teenager girl also asked.

Jiang Chen showed a smile as an affirmative answer.

Although there were still eight months to go to the t.i.tle Battle, these people

had to start the journey with so much time in advance. They also felt helpless

for that.

No one could guarantee what would happen on the way. It was common to

start with half a year in advance.

“Spiritual Venerables only go there for fun. The protagonists of the t.i.tle Battle

are Celestial Venerables,” the teenager girl said.

“Sis,” Ji Yinyi shouted at her younger sister, since she thought it a bit impolite

for her sister to say so.

“Doesn’t matter.”

Jiang Chen said he wouldn’t mind. That was a common sense. Besides, she

didn’t say it with bad intention.
