Chapter 1117 - 270: Elder Quan: What? Chen 94 Is Still Alive!

"Don’t overthink, Granny She’s lack of support is due to her bad conscience, it doesn’t concern you."

"Your sincerity with others is one of the most important qualities of a leader. Granny She’s betrayal indicates her poor character, not any fault of yours. Don’t trouble yourself over someone else’s issues."

Linglong was stunned upon hearing this and felt that Chen Jie’s words made a lot of sense.

Chen Jie curved his lips into a smile. Kids need a bit of manipulation to grow quickly.

It’s just the kind of thing us wicked adults do.

Chen Jie said this, leading Linglong towards some deserted area.

Linglong said, "Brother Jiu Si, why don’t we go back to Lord Jin? With Lord Jin around, even if everyone comes, they won’t break into the golden pool!"

Chen Jie replied, "No, the golden pool is already exposed. They will certainly focus on guarding the golden pool, if we head back now, we’d be putting ourselves into a trap."

"And even if we successfully hide inside the golden pool, if they block the entrance, we’d be trapped and couldn’t help you reclaim your position as the temporary leader!"

Chen Jie said.

After hearing this, Linglong asked, "Then where should we go?"

Chen Jie replied, "Let’s hide in this village for now."

After speaking, they continued moving around within the residence.

At this moment, Elder Quan and Elder Xie’s team met, Elder Quan asked Elder Xie, "Where’s the best spot to intercept them?"

Elder Xie thought for a while and replied, "With Elder She, Elder Jin Chan, and Elder Centipede searching the village, we don’t need to join the crowd. I think we should block them at the golden pool."

"Now the entire Miao Village is surrounding them. The golden pool is their only hiding place. I bet they will definitely run back to the golden pool."

Upon hearing Elder Xie’s words, Elder Quan nodded slightly, "Yeah, that makes sense, let’s block them at the golden pool. I doubt they wouldn’t go back to the golden pool."

Meanwhile, the entire Miao Village was in a fierce pursuit.

Elder She, Elder Jin Chan, and Elder Centipede dispatched their troops and began to crazily intercept.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of Miao Soldiers deployed this time might reach over ten thousand.

"Over here!"

Despite Chen Jie and Linglong’s efforts to hide, they were easily noticed under the pursuit of thousands of eyes, and with an angry shout, people chased after them.

Chen Jie and Linglong could only continue to flee.

They didn’t know how many waves of pursuit they had evaded.

Just after Chen Jie and his group passed an alley, they were confronted by a muscular man covered in muscles, holding a golden knife standing there.

As soon as they appeared, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

A thread of golden light directly locked onto Chen Jie, who immediately adopted a combat stance. This is a master, indeed.

The man did not strike first but glanced at Chen Jie, then quickly shifted his gaze to Linglong, who was hiding behind Chen Jie.

"Saintess!"

The man said, as Linglong peeked out and took a look at him, "Uncle Jin Chan."

That’s right, this man was Elder Jin Chan of the Golden Toad Sect, one of the Five Elders.

And currently, he was the head of the Five Great Sects.

Elder Jin Chan glanced at Linglong, "Running around aimlessly, what a disgrace!"

Linglong shivered, filled with fear. Elder Jin Chan was always so stern and unsmiling, making it hard for Linglong to approach him.

At this time, Chen Jie took two steps forward, blocking the scrutiny from Elder Jin Chan for Linglong.

Elder Jin Chan glanced at Chen Jie, just about to speak.

At this moment, not far away, someone shouted: "You guys search those alleys."

Elder Jin Chan glanced over at the torchlight, and then said to the two Golden Toad soldiers behind him, "Take off your clothes."

The two Golden Toad soldiers immediately removed their clothes.

Elder Jin Chan tossed the clothes to Chen Jie and Linglong, "Put them on and follow me."

After hearing this, Chen Jie and Linglong exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and then put on the clothes.

Alongside Elder Jin Chan were elite Death Soldiers, so their garments were loose robes, complete with black hoods.

The two put on the garments and followed behind Elder Jin Chan.

Elder Jin Chan, unperturbed, led them through the streets.

No one dared to search them because they were led by Elder Jin Chan.

Thus, they proceeded. They thought they would safely reach their destination.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Elder Centipede and Granny She.

The two saw Elder Jin Chan, and Elder Centipede greeted him, "Jin Chan, got any news from your side?"

Elder Jin Chan replied, "No."

Elder Centipede said, "This is almost unreal, where could they have fled to?"

"By the way, where’s Poison Scorpion?"

Centipede asked Elder Xie, to which Elder Jin Chan replied, "Seems like he headed to the golden pool."

Centipede said, "Yeah, we have to watch the golden pool. That Chen Jiusi is so despicable, daring to kidnap our sect’s Saintess. If I catch him, I’ll make him suffer the pain of being devoured by ten thousand poisons."

After saying this, Elder Centipede looked at Granny She, "Sister She, you’ve fought Chen Jiusi before, how’s his ability?"

Granny She replied with indifference, "Not inferior to mine."

Elder Centipede said, "That’s a tough character. By the way, Sister She, you were the first to discover Saintess being kidnapped by Chen Jiusi. What was the situation then?"

Granny She replied, "Linglong came to me for help, saying she wanted to find that thing covered by the light on the day it fell into our Miao Territory, accompanied by an unfamiliar face. I grew suspicious and upon probing, it indeed turned out that she was coerced by Chen Jiusi."
