The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

"Where did your resilience go?" Jiang Chuan asked coldly.

"After thinking about it, there's no need to be so stubborn. We need to learn to be flexible." Huang Long rubbed his hands together.

Jiang Chuan's expression softened slightly after hearing this.

He looked at Huang Long with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but said nothing more.

"I kowtow to Grandpa Jiang Chuan." After a struggle with his thoughts, Huang Long realized that the person in front of him was indeed Jiang Chuan.

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

"Jiangchuan?"

"What Jiangchuan?"

"He is Jiang Chuan?"

"Jiangchuan in Qing City? No way, isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

……

Jiang Chuan, however, remained calm and looked at Huang Long, continuing, "And her too." He pointed to Huang Long's girlfriend.

Huang Long understood immediately and looked at her, "Come over here and kowtow to your grandfather."

Seeing Jiang Chuan's skill in beating Huang Long, he crawled to his side without hesitation and kowtowed three times.

“It wasn’t me, it was her,” Jiang Chuan said, pointing at Li Yi.

"Pick up the wish card and lick it clean with your mouth." Li Yi's words startled Huang Long. Fortunately, she wasn't talking to him, but his girlfriend's next action angered him. She picked up the wish card and handed it to him, saying, "Half for each of us."

"Nonsense." Huang Long waved his hand, knocking his girlfriend to the ground.

“You weren’t like this before.” The woman lying on the ground got up, her eyes filled with confusion and disappointment.

She remembered that Huanglong used to be gentle and considerate, always obedient to her. But from just now, he had become so violent and no longer cared about her feelings.

Huang Long looked at her, a hint of pain flashing in his eyes, knowing that he had changed and was becoming less and less like himself.

But he couldn't control it either; whenever he saw her, his heart was filled with anger and helplessness.

"I...I didn't want to either."

Huang Long's voice was low as he tried to explain, but he didn't know how to begin.

If it weren't for her, he would never have met Jiang Chuan today.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan heard the commotion around him. Upon closer listening, he realized it was the Qingyun Sect's guards approaching him at an extremely fast speed.

His heart tightened immediately, knowing that the guards must have come here to capture him.

The footsteps of the guards grew closer; Jiang Chuan was surrounded.

Seeing his reinforcements arrive, Huang Long, who had been kneeling on the ground unable to straighten his back, regained his confidence, straightened his back and stood up. He looked at Jiang Chuan with a cold gaze and said, "Jiang Chuan, you dare to show your face in the Qingyun Sect. You have quite the nerve."

Jiang Chuan sneered and replied without fear: "Huang Long, what can these reinforcements do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan waved his hand, and the lightning force in his palm instantly swept away a group of people.

Everyone gasped in astonishment at the sight; Jiang Chuan's strength was truly formidable.

"How is this possible?" Huang Long couldn't understand how Jiang Chuan had done it, because those guards were all at the late stage of the Xuan rank, and even if their strength was not good, they shouldn't be so weak that they couldn't even withstand a single blow from Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan didn't want to waste words with him. After all, this was Qingyun Sect's territory, which was disadvantageous to Jiang Chuan, so he decided to finish the battle quickly.

Jiang Chuan appeared in front of Huang Long like lightning, unleashing lightning power from his right palm and striking Huang Long's body head-on.

Knowing Jiang Chuan's strength, Huang Long dared not hold back and decided to fight to the death, taking Jiang Chuan's attack head-on. Although it was somewhat strenuous, he only needed to hold Jiang Chuan off while waiting for reinforcements.

A ruthless glint flashed in Huang Long's eyes. He gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength, and charged forward to meet Jiang Chuan's attack. Instantly, the power of lightning collided with Huang Long's protective true energy, producing a deafening roar.

However, to Huang Long's utter surprise, Jiang Chuan's attack did not weaken but instead became even more intense. Under this blow, Huang Long felt as if he were being crushed by a mountain, his breathing became rapid, and his body was almost unable to move.

"what!"

Huang Long roared in anguish, realizing that he was no match for Jiang Chuan after all. However, he did not give up. He had only one thought in his mind: to buy time and wait for rescue.

Jiang Chuan sneered upon seeing this.

Until Huanglong could no longer withstand his own attacks.

He launched another attack, this time with all his might. Huang Long was unable to resist and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown.

Jiang Chuan did not stop there and decided to end Huang Long's life, only to find that Huang Long actually wanted to self-destruct.

Seeing this, the audience rushed to the outer perimeter. The power of a mid-stage Earth Rank cultivator who successfully self-destructed should not be underestimated.

"Want to self-destruct? Do you think it's that easy?" Jiang Chuan activated the Thunderous Sky Flash Technique, switching positions behind Huang Long. Then, he used domineering lightning to forcefully compress Huang Long's swollen body, bit by bit, until it was only the size of a child.

Huang Long screamed in agony, but Jiang Chuan showed no sympathy whatsoever.

The sound was terrifying; one can only imagine the pain Huanglong was enduring.

His face was as pale as paper, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he was curled up, his body convulsing.

At the same time, the Qingyun Sect guards, having regained their senses, swarmed forward and rushed towards Jiang Chuan. Their gleaming spears thrust fiercely at Jiang Chuan, causing him to frown deeply.

These guard teams are not individually strong, but their large numbers mean that the combined strength they possess is enough to warrant Jiang Chuan's attention.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chuan ended Huang Long's life first, and then used his movement skills to dodge the guards' attack.

When Jiang Chuan reappeared, he was already beside Li Yi. He carried her on his back and sped towards the outer perimeter of the Leisure Pavilion. Although the guards were numerous, their attacks appeared chaotic in the face of Jiang Chuan's agility and mobility. Every movement of Jiang Chuan was full of power and beauty, like a dragon weaving through the crowd.

Jiang Chuan, having shaken off a group of guards, wanted to rest for a while, but then heard from his left: "Brothers, Jiang Chuan is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards on the left rushed out and surrounded Jiang Chuan.

"Brothers, let's do it! If we kill him, we'll rise to great heights!" the leader encouraged.

Jiang Chuan frowned, knowing that this battle was unavoidable.

He took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and prepared to deal with the impending attack.

Upon receiving the order, the members of the guard drew their weapons, preparing to attack Jiang Chuan. However, Jiang Chuan closed his eyes at that moment, as if listening to something.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and lunged at the guards on his left. The guards were caught off guard by his sudden action, but Jiang Chuan knocked down several of them in that instant.

"Jiang Chuan, don't even think about escaping!" the leader shouted.

Jiang Chuan leaped onto a rooftop and ran in one direction, pursued relentlessly by the guards like leeches.

"Jiang Chuan, you have nowhere to run. You might as well surrender!" the leader shouted again.

Jiang Chuan's eyes turned cold. He summoned the Dragon's Roar Sword and slashed at the leader. His movements were as fast as lightning, and his sword strikes were as fierce as a storm, making them impossible to defend against.

Upon seeing this, the leader's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Jiang Chuan to make a move at this moment, catching him off guard.

"Brothers, defend!" After the leader finished speaking, more than a dozen henchmen appeared around him, and an energy barrier appeared in front of them, blocking Jiang Chuan's fierce attack.

Jiang Chuan was not discouraged by the thwarted attack.

Instead, they launched an even more frenzied attack.

He moved swiftly, instantly appearing on the other side of the energy barrier, his Dragon Roar Sword crackling with intense lightning as he slashed towards the leader.

Seeing that he could not withstand the attack, the leader could only dodge away, but his henchmen were not so lucky. They were hit by Jiang Chuan's sword energy and let out painful screams.

Jiang Chuan didn't stop. He swung his sword again, the sword light like a rainbow, heading straight for the leader.

Sensing Jiang Chuan's resolute determination, the leader panicked and turned to run away.

But he was no match for Jiang Chuan. Jiang Chuan moved swiftly and appeared in front of him in an instant. The Dragon Roar Sword, carrying the force of thunder, slashed at the leader.

The leader was unable to resist and was killed by Jiang Chuan with a single sword strike.

Seeing their leader defeated, the remaining henchmen retreated, their faces filled with horror.

Jiang Chuan once again swung his sword, cutting down the remaining enemies. In an instant, the battlefield was a river of blood, and screams echoed everywhere.

"That was a close call," Li Yi said softly as she dismounted from Jiang Chuan's back and stood beside him.

“We can’t be careless. I can sense that we are surrounded by the Qingyun Sect’s guards. We need to find a way to leave here,” Jiang Chuan said.

Li Yi frowned. She could sense Jiang Chuan's tension, which made her feel uneasy as well.

"What should we do?" Li Yi asked.

Jiang Chuan pondered for a moment, then said, "The safest place is the most dangerous place. I've decided to go back to where we were."

"Are you sure?"

"Haven't they already discovered that place?"

Li Yi asked in confusion.

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and said, "That's precisely why they'll think we wouldn't be foolish enough to go back. But that's exactly where our opportunity lies. The guards are numerous and scattered in all directions. As long as we find the right moment, we can find a chance to escape."

Although Li Yi was still somewhat worried, she knew that she could only trust Jiang Chuan for now.

At this moment, the Qingyun Sect guards, riding on flying discs, appeared in the sky above. They spotted Jiang Chuan and took out their whistles to report their location to the ground guards.

"It seems we've been discovered again," Li Yi muttered softly as she lay on Jiang Chuan's back.

“I know,” Jiang Chuan said.

His voice was deep, carrying an indescribable steadiness, and his steps were firm, each one landing on Li Yi's heart, making her feel at ease.

"Have they caught up with us?" Li Yi continued to ask, her voice tinged with tension.

"No," Jiang Chuan replied, his voice completely calm, as if everything was under his control.

After hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Li Yi felt a little less nervous.

Jiang Chuan and Li Yi quickly crossed the woods and returned to the place where they had fought before.

This is an open area surrounded by dense woods, with a clearing in the middle covered with weeds and pebbles.

“This is it,” Jiang Chuan said, looking around.

Li Yi nervously looked around and saw several guards from the Qingyun Sect patrolling in the distance, seemingly unaware of their presence.

"What should we do now?" Li Yi asked softly.

"Look what this is?" Jiang Chuan pointed to the Jubaolou restaurant next to him.

"Should we hide inside?" Li Yi asked.

“That’s right. After the battle just now, everyone here went to escape for their lives. Now it’s just the two of us,” Jiang Chuan said.

Li Yi nervously looked around. Although the war was over, a hint of vigilance still lingered in her eyes.

Then the two tiptoed into the Treasure Pavilion.

This is an ancient and magnificent building, exuding a strong historical atmosphere. The interior is ornately decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, making people curious about the past owners of this building.

"This building has a really old feel to it." Li Yi walked up the stairs and touched the handrail.

"Don't touch anything. I've noticed someone has set up traps here." Since Jiang Chuan reached the Heavenly Rank in his soul power, he has become particularly sensitive to things hidden in the shadows.

Upon hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Li Yi immediately withdrew her hand, looking at him with surprise, "Really? How did you find out?"

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly and explained, "After my soul power reached the Heavenly Rank, I had a deeper perception of the surrounding environment and things. Just now, when I was going up the stairs, I felt a faint energy fluctuation, which should have been left by the person who set up the mechanism."

After hearing this, Li Yi looked at Jiang Chuan with admiration, "You are really amazing. You can even detect such a weak energy fluctuation."

Jiang Chuan smiled and shook his head. "It's nothing. The important thing is that we must be careful to avoid triggering the traps."

The two continued to carefully ascend the building, admiring the interior decorations and marveling at its grandeur and historical significance.

The higher the floor, the more mysterious the atmosphere becomes.

Li Yi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Don't you think there's some secret hidden in this building?"

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and replied, "Possibly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chuan saw a house emitting a blue light screen, but his senses could not penetrate the light screen to determine what was emitting the light.

Jiang Chuan and Li Yi exchanged a glance.

A hint of curiosity and wariness flashed in both of their eyes.

They cautiously approached the house. Jiang Chuan used his soul power to carefully sense the area around the light screen, and only after confirming that there were no other mechanisms around it did he gently push open the door.

Inside the room, a huge cyan pillar of light stood in the center.

Within the pillar of light, there seemed to be a giant treasure chest, radiating an alluring glow.

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "There's a box here, there must be a lot of precious treasures inside!"

Jiang Chuan, however, was not so optimistic. He frowned and said, "Although it is tempting, we still need to be careful. Didn't you see the array around this pillar of light? This array is probably for its protection. If we act rashly, we might trigger the array, and then we'll be in trouble."

After listening, Li Yi calmed down and nodded. "You're right, we should still be careful." (End of Chapter)
