Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 374: Qingxue’s Warning

Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Qingxue’s Warning

The reason he was defeated by Ling Chen was largely because Ling Chen’s attacks were too ferocious.

Yet, strength cannot be solely determined by the might of one’s attack.

When one’s speed is sufficient, it can also achieve victory over adversaries.

Moreover, he inherently had a significant advantage in Spiritual Power.

Ling Chen, in his attacks, benefited from the addition of a medium-grade Spiritual Weapon.

But if the two were to compete in speed, Ling Chen wouldn’t have the slightest advantage.

Initially, it was precisely because he did not employ his movement technique that he suffered a great loss.

By the time he thought to use his movement technique, he was already gravely injured.

The day after tomorrow, during the founding ceremony of the Reincarnation faction established by Ling Chen, his injuries would finally be completely healed.

At that time, he would definitely take action, wash away the humiliation, and make Ling Chen spit out everything he had swallowed.

In the Bamboo Garden,

Ling Wu blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "Brother, what’s this Reincarnation all about?"

Previously, Zi Ruoxuan had mentioned it in passing.

It seemed that Ling Chen had created something called Reincarnation?

But the previously tense atmosphere did not give her the opportunity to ask.

Xu Lin and the others also looked on curiously.

"Oh, I was just about to tell you that I have formed a faction, and the day after tomorrow we will hold the founding ceremony!"

Ling Chen said with a smile.

Ling Wu and the others had been cultivating in the Bamboo Garden, so they had no idea about the buzz concerning Reincarnation that was already spreading outside.

"Brother, you’ve created a faction, that’s great, I want to join! I want to be the Vice Leader!"

Ling Wu exclaimed excitedly.

"Sure."

Ling Chen agreed on the spot.

"Young Master Ling, did you really create a faction?"

Qin Shi and Su Su both found it somewhat hard to believe.

"Yes."

Ling Chen nodded and smiled, "If you two want to join, you’re also welcome."

"Of course we’ll join!"

They promptly responded.

They had been following Ling Chen this whole time, so how could they not join now that Ling Chen had established a faction?

Moreover, Ling Chen’s recent performance had been nothing short of extraordinary.

Who would have thought that Ling Chen now possessed the strength to fight against the first Vice Leader of Purple Cloud?

Especially, that barehanded weapon seizing technique, they truly envied it!

"Good!"

Ling Chen said with a smile, "After the founding ceremony, Reincarnation will be officially established, and then you can join."

Just then, a voice came from outside.

"Young Master Ling!"

As the voice fell, a woman walked in.

The door had not been shut when Zi Ruoxuan and others had entered earlier.

"Senior Sister Jiang, you’re back?"

Ling Chen said, somewhat surprised.

Recently, Jiang Yingxue had gone to look for her sister, Jiang Qingxue.

"Yes."

Jiang Yingxue said with a smile, "Junior Brother, I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay!"

Ling Chen nodded and invited Jiang Yingxue into the room.

"How did it go? Did you find your sister?"

Ling Chen asked.

Jiang Yingxue nodded and said, "I found her."

Following Ling Chen’s advice, she had sought the help of the Palace Master of Xiongwu Prefecture and found her within a few days.

"Then congratulations to you, Senior Sister."

Ling Chen smiled and said, "Has Miss Qingxue returned? If possible, may I visit her sometime?"

He was happy for their reunion.

"No."

Jiang Yingxue gave a bitter smile.

"What’s going on?"

Ling Chen asked.

He felt there was something unusual about the situation.

Jiang Yingxue forced a smile and said, "She doesn’t want to come back."

"Why is that?"

Ling Chen inquired.

With a dispirited smile, Jiang Yingxue replied, "She just said that the Royal Capital is her nightmare, and she will never return."

Ling Chen nodded, tactfully choosing not to press further.

It was evident that something painful must have happened here, to make a woman so averse to the Royal Capital.

Jiang Yingxue looked at Ling Chen and said, "It’s exactly as you said, my sister really has lost all of her Divine Soul cultivation, completely gone."

Ling Chen replied, "When I first met her, I didn’t sense any sign of her Divine Soul Realm."

Jiang Yingxue had previously mentioned that Jiang Qingxue was once a top-tier Divine Thought Master; she wouldn’t have lied. But now, with Jiang Qingxue devoid of any Divine Soul cultivation, it might be related to her experiences in the Royal Capital.

"No matter what, I still have to thank Young Master Ling. Otherwise, perhaps, I would never have seen her again."

Jiang Yingxue stood up and bowed respectfully to Ling Chen.

Initially, if it hadn’t been for Ling Chen’s timely rescue, her sister would have nearly lost her honor. Given her sister’s temperament, she likely wouldn’t have chosen to continue living in this world.

"Senior Sister, you are too kind. I also received a mid-grade Spiritual Weapon from Sister Qingxue, which is more than enough to reciprocate my help."

Ling Chen quickly got up and helped Jiang Yingxue to her feet.

"Young Master Ling, before I left, my sister warned me that if I were to break through to a higher tier of a top-grade Divine Thought Master, I must leave the Royal Capital. It’s best not to make my breakthrough within the Royal Capital, and also to avoid setting foot here again in the future. After knowing you are also a Divine Thought Master, she asked me to pass this message on to you as well."

Jiang Yingxue’s expression was incredibly solemn as she spoke.

Ling Chen’s expression grew serious.

He had a feeling that this might be related to the complete loss of Jiang Qingxue’s Divine Soul cultivation.

"I understand."

Ling Chen nodded gravely.

"By the way, if you plan to visit your sister again in the future, and if it’s convenient, I would like to accompany you. I would also like to pay her a visit," Ling Chen said.

"Young Master Ling, you’re too polite."

Jiang Yingxue replied hurriedly, "Logically, my sister should come to visit you in person. However, she is unwilling to step foot here, so I can only express our gratitude through our conversation!"

"It’s fine."

Ling Chen smiled.

He actually wanted to see what had happened to Jiang Qingxue, and perhaps, he might have the means to restore her Divine Soul cultivation.

In his inheritance of memories, there was an elixir that could restore the Divine Soul, which might work for Jiang Qingxue.

Of course, such an elixir could only be refined by high-tier top-grade Divine Thought Master-level Alchemists.

He was not capable of doing it himself.

"By the way!"

Jiang Yingxue’s face suddenly changed, and she looked at Ling Chen with a somewhat urgent expression, "Young Master Ling, I heard you have established a faction?"

Upon her return to the Academic Palace, she received this news.

"Yes,"

Ling Chen smiled faintly.

The faction’s founding ceremony was to take place the day after tomorrow, so there was no need to hide it.

"Why the rush?"

Jiang Yingxue said in panic.

Although Ling Chen had the achievement of defeating Wei Ziyan,

Wei Ziyan’s strength wasn’t considered very strong.

Not to mention the Gang Leaders of the Eight Great Sects, even some Vice Leaders were existences in the late stages of the Primordial Pill Realm, a full realm above Wei Ziyan.

Such strength was definitely not something Ling Chen could contend with!

If Ling Chen wanted to establish a faction, even if the Gang Leaders didn’t make a move, just any Vice Leader sent out could defeat him.

Ling Chen might not even be able to establish his faction.

Over the years, there have also been some talented students who tried to establish factions.

Without exception, they were all defeated by the Vice Leaders of the Eight Great Sects.

Establishing a faction, essentially, was touching upon the fundamental interests of the Eight Great Sects.

After all, recruiting each member brought in a protection fee.

Ling Chen felt warmth in his heart.

He knew Jiang Yingxue was considering his well-being.

"Senior Sister Jiang, don’t worry. Since I dared to establish a faction, I naturally have my methods," Ling Chen said with a smile.
