Chapter 566 - 566 Jiang Chen"s fame (2)

Turning around, Shun Long then turned his attention towards the huge palace behind him that was guarded by the 2 Elders of the Holy sect, before he led Liu Mei and the rest towards it.

""Is everything alright?""

As the 5 of them walked towards the Holy sect"s entrance, Liu Mei"s slightly worried voice sounded in the air as she looked at Jiang Chen, clearly having noticed the weird but also respectful gazes that the crowd was giving him.

Xie Xingyi and Bai Longtian were no different as they looked curious to find out what was going on.

Only Shun Long didn"t seem too curious to know what was going to happen, as his mind was focused on the 5 D-rank faction missions that they had to complete as well as the single C-rank faction mission.

The moment that these requirements were completed, his faction would be eligible to officially join the faction wars inside the sect!

Nodding his head, Jiang Chen looked at Liu Mei and the rest with a calm look on his face before he replied

""It"s just a bunch of idiots that were trying to find trouble with me in the Holy city.""

Turning his gaze towards Shun Long, Jiang Chen then continued

""Actually, right after we entered the sect, a little more than a month ago, some idiot named Qian Tao approached me and tried to recruit me for his faction. Naturally, I rejected him and told him that I would only join your faction.""

Liu Mei"s eyes widened slightly when she remembered that she and Shun Long had experienced something similar as well.

Back when they had visited the Administration Hall for Shun Long to register his faction, the follower behind the "Faction Registration counter" had also tried to make Shun Long give up on creating his own faction and told him to join "senior brother Qian Tao"s" faction instead.

Jiang Chen seemed to have failed to notice the look in Liu Mei"s eyes that was starting to turn colder when she realized that this matter had something to do with that Qian Tao as well, and looking at Shun Long, Jiang Chen then continued

""Judging from his aura alone, I could tell that this Qian Tao is somewhat strong. Although he was hiding his cultivation, it was obvious from the aura around his body that he had already reached the late stages of the Nascent Soul.

Regardless, after I rejected him, even though it was obvious that he was angry, he still didn"t bother me again.

However, around a week ago, while I was strolling through the Holy city, his idiot cousin and a few of his servants approached me and told me that as long as I dare to partic.i.p.ate in the faction wars and happen to meet them, they would make sure to break my legs.""

This time, it wasn"t just Jiang Chen or Liu Mei whose gazes had turned cold, but Shun Long"s too, as well as Xie Xingyi"s, and even Bai Longtian"s.

This was completely different from a personal insult!

They were threatening Jiang Chen that as long as he partic.i.p.ated in the faction wars in Shun Long"s faction, they would personally hunt him down.

This was a complete disregard to not just a member of their faction, but towards their entire faction instead.

Shun Long nodded his head before Jiang Chen continued

""That idiot was lucky that we aren"t allowed to fight with other disciples of the sect outside the arena or during the faction wars, so I just knocked off some of his teeth and told him to scram. As for the threats that he hurled before he left... I couldn"t care less. The next time that he appears I will make sure to bash the rest of his face in as well!""

Liu Mei and Xie Xingyi both nodded when they heard this while even Bai Longtian had wiped the usual warm smile from his face.

No matter what, things regarding their faction and their group were taken seriously by every single one of them.

Liu Mei was Shun Long"s wife while Xie Xingyi clearly had some intense feelings for him that Shun Long had yet to address, so how could the 2 girls not care about their faction?

As for Jiang Chen and Bai Longtian, their reasons weren"t any less intense than the 2 divine beauties.

They had both sworn to follow Shun Long for different reasons, so how could they simply ignore such a threat nonchalantly?

Noticing the cold looks on everyone"s faces that were filled with killing intent, and had even scared off some of the surrounding outer disciples that were close to them, Shun Long simply shook his head and smiled before he said

""There is no reason to get too worked up over this.

This is only the beginning.

How many factions do you think we will offend once we join the faction wars and start climbing in the faction rankings?

And that"s only for the lower-ranked factions.

Once we start fighting the top factions of the sect, things will be even more difficult!

Is there a reason to care about Qian Tao"s faction specifically?

However, since someone really dared to threaten Jiang Chen in public, make sure to break both of his legs in the future.""

Although Shun Long"s tone was calm, everyone could hear the unconcealed anger in his tone when he said the last sentence.

Jiang Chen, Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi and Bai Longtian all nodded their heads at the same time, as they kept following Shun Long inside the sect.

Sometime later, they finally arrived in front of a familiar huge building, where hundreds of outer disciples could be seen coming and going from its entrance.

Shun Long led everyone inside the Administration Hall, and walked directly towards the Exchange counter to hand in the missions that they had completed before he chose any faction missions to complete.

Just like the last time, the exchange counter seemed to have more than 30 outer disciples queueing up in front of it, all of them waiting to hand in their missions as well and obtain their sect points.
