Chapter 904: Chapter 902: Rotten Flesh (23) (Extra for the âYin Tierâ Alliance âJequentâ 5/5) Chapter 904: Chapter 902: Rotten Flesh (23) (Extra for the âYin Tierâ Alliance âJequentâ 5/5) Do you really know him?
Jiang Enâs sigh was full of wistful profundity and full of Zen, fully expressing the enlightenment of a person who had let go of obsessions and reached a thorough understanding.
And the audience, who were waiting for a good show, also came to a conclusion promptly.
Does this mean the appointment is real?
Nobody expected that the mysterious person had a duel appointment with Jiang En, and when the time came, Jiang En, due to the inability to break through his bottleneck, felt desolate and chose to abandon the path of the Transcendent?
It looks like there might not be any excitement to watch after all.
Especially since Jiang Enâs current attitude seems to include giving up even the resources of his family, showing no signs of fighting spirit.
âYouâre a bit early, and also a bit late.â
Meanwhile, Jiang Enâs reflection was yet to end.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, the appointed time should be tonight.â
âBut the reason I say youâre late is that I have already recognized my true self and let go of my obsessions. Now I am not interested in contending with you.â
Jiang En observed Fu Qianâs masked face.
âIf the Ming King insists, I can even kneel down and admit defeat, admitting that my reputation is undeserved.â
This utterly unguarded stance caused quite a stir among the Jiang Family.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chengqing, who was in charge, just furrowed his brows without speaking out in haste.
Jiang Enâs words seemed extremely weak, but his presence here was just right.
If the Grand Fate Ming Emperor really came to make a name for himself, forcibly demanding a kneeling surrender would only be detrimental.
And this reasonable defeat, given Jiang Enâs prior attitude, did not damage the reputation of the Jiang Family too much.
For a moment, he eagerly awaited Fu Qianâs reaction.
âI might not be ruthless, but I also wonât be fooled by a few words. Too many in Shangjing have avoided battle by dodging.â
However, after sizing up Jiang En, the Grand Fate Ming Emperor just hummed.
âYou say youâve let go of your obsessions, but do you dare send these people away and answer a few questions alone?â
ThisâŠ
After hearing Fu Qianâs suggestion, almost everyone, including Jiang Chengqing, instinctively wanted to refuse.
For Jiang Chengqing, this man was unpredictable; what if he actually killed someone?
That would be even more definitive than Jiang Enâs disassociation from the familyâgoing from slim hope to none.
Even if that werenât the case, what if this guy, after the chat, went out and claimed Jiang En was actually cowardly and had assumed the earlier posture out of fear, when in reality he broke down and begged for mercy in private?
âAlright.â
However, unexpectedly, after hearing the suggestion, Jiang En considered it briefly and then nodded in agreement.
Isnât that too straightforward!
âNo, itâs not up to you to decide here!â
Jiang Chengqing was still surprised when someone else already took the initiative to rebuke.
âThen Iâll go outside first and talk to the Ming King in private.â
Jiang En seemed to have anticipated this, remaining composed.
âŠ
The crowd was abruptly at a loss for words.
Going outside, wouldnât that be even less controllable than the current situation?
âIt seems the Ming King has some words he doesnât want others to hear, how long will it take?â
At that moment, Jiang Chengqing made a quick decision and asked in a deep voice.
âDonât worry, half an hour will suffice.â
Jiang En looked at Fu Qian, and without rejecting, Fu Qian directly replied.
âAlright.â
Jiang Chengqing didnât ask further and immediately arranged for everyone to exit, leaving the hall desolate in a blink.
âŠ
Coughâ
Seeing that Fu Qian was not in a hurry to speak, Jiang En finally cleared his throat.
âNo matter whether the Ming King believes it or notââ
âI believe it.â
Unfortunately, he was cut off as soon as he started to speak.
âItâs obvious youâve been practicing hard.â
So this guy really saw it allâŠ
Jiang Enâs breath hesitated for a moment.
âDonât worry, Iâve always been discreet. Iâm here only to verify a few questions with you.â
Fu Qian walked over and sat down, signaling Jiang En to relax.
To speak of it, this was no easy feat; the resources he could use had been pushed to the limit, a testament to a painstaking effort.
âWhat questions?â
Jiang En, still somewhat guardedly, asked.
âSimple, who told you about the ritual?â
But even though he was fully prepared for anything, Fu Qianâs next question still created a tempest in Jiang Enâs heart.
He knows about the ritualâŠ
He knows what I am doingâŠ
But how could he possibly know?
So, was he truly helping me by creating those claw marks?
Was his so-called fame and fortune all an act?
âFocus, you have five minutes to answer.â
Fu Qian reminded him coolly.
âNobody told me, itâs something I saw on my own.â
And facing the rush, Jiang En hesitated only for seconds.
âOh? Under what circumstances did you see it?â
Fu Qianâs tone was emotionless.
âIt was a very strange state, like a moment of sudden enlightenment, and then some information appeared in my mind.â
Jiang Enâs gaze became unfocused as if lost in a particular memory.
âLet me rephrase the question.â
Fu Qian shook his head and sighed, causing Jiang En to focus his attention again.
âHave you ever, at a certain time, in front of a special being, assumed any particular posture?â
ââŠYes, a few months ago.â
Jiang En started gritting his teeth halfway through Fu Qianâs question, thereafter responding with decisiveness.
âExcellent, I think we have a good starting point.â
Brother Jiang En finally showed a willingness to communicate sincerely, and Fu Qian nodded in satisfaction.
Indeed it was an oath.
âNext question, who led you to do this?â
âA person named Daneta. I encountered him by chance when I was out, and after a brief contact, he seemed to see my troubles and mentioned a potential opportunity.â
âI didnât believe it at first, but after completing some bizarre actions as he suggested, I really received enlightenment about the ritual.â
âSo it was those you performed in the hotel?â
ââŠNo.â
That explains it; Jiang En did not dodge the question again, and Fu Qian expressed his satisfaction.
The content of the ritual did not seem like something one could perform just anywhere.
He even mentioned encountering Daneta outside. Why didnât he complete it there and then come back? Why seek excitement in Shangjing?
Surely he didnât anticipate Guladâs downfall months in advance and plan to use it to strike at a rival, did he?
There must have been a complication.
âI couldnât do it.â
This time without waiting for Fu Qian to ask, Jiang En continued on his own.
âMy first revelation was the complete opposite; the content of the ritual was like guiding out my true self, allowing it to grow and strengthen.â
âAt first, I was thrilled and began the ritual with Danetaâs help. However, as it progressed, I realized I was losing myself, at risk of being consumed by the awakened beast within.â
âEventually, I snuck back to Shangjing before reaching an irreversible turning point.â
