Chapter 534: Chapter 533, Li Qinglian’s Sister_1
Er Xin said, "Killed by Divine King Laines."
What in the world? Jiang Chen wondered. Divine King Laines? Isn’t she Bai Yun’s mother? Is this a tale of the Gray Princess marrying into a wealthy family, the wicked mother-in-law disapproving, and then killing her own daughter-in-law? What kind of melodramatic plot is this? I might as well write a novel; this melodrama would be a best-seller!
Trena laughed. "Is there a possibility that Divine King Laines didn’t actually kill Li Qinglian, but let her go, and now she’s a Divine of the Continent of All-Gods?"
Jiang Chen pondered. Divine King Laines wanted Bai Yun to return, and only through Li Qinglian could it be done. Li Qinglian should be dead. But Bai Yun, due to his status, didn’t heed Divine King Laines’s words and instead roamed the world with his sword... The Li Qinglian before me now must be an imposter, someone who has attained all of Li Qinglian’s memories. Her sole purpose is to ensure Bai Yun’s return. Now, she is a Priest, a Divine of the Continent of All-Gods. It’s known that Priests are extremely vulnerable in the wilderness. Who can protect her? Bai Yun. And where would this protection take place? Naturally, it would be on the Continent of All-Gods. No one would dare touch Li Qinglian there, but if she encountered other Divine in the wilderness, she would certainly be in danger. That must be the ultimate purpose of Divine King Laines.
Jiang Chen marveled. How did Divine King Laines manage to resurrect Li Qinglian and even ensure she retained all her memories? Could it be a cloning technique? That was indeed a possibility. Divine control Laws, and the Power of Laws varies widely; it’s not impossible that there’s a Law of Resurrection.
Jiang Chen said, "Discussing this now is meaningless. Once Bai Yun returns, I will personally hand Li Qinglian over to him, and my task will be completed."
Trena said, "This is a conspiracy by the Continent of All-Gods. Once Bai Yun sees the resurrected Li Qinglian, what do you think he will do? He will surely pledge loyalty to the Continent of All-Gods."
Jiang Chen retorted, "So what if he pledges loyalty? He is originally a Second Gen God from the Continent of All-Gods. This is him returning home."
Trena looked at Jiang Chen with a mysterious smile. "You’ve reached level 500 so quickly? It seems the Continent of All-Gods has given you quite a lot of benefits, hasn’t it, for you to play their advocate?"
"I am only here to deliver Li Qinglian to Bai Yun. As for what Elder Bai Yun is thinking, I have no clue."
Actually, I still hope Bai Yun returns to the Continent of All-Gods. After all, it’s the Seal of Destruction! The promises made by Divine King Laines could make one a Divine, rising to the heavens in a single step. Jiang Chen thought, a sense of delight blooming in his heart. Shouldn’t the reunion of companions be the best outcome? And what does it matter if she’s a clone? Once the lights are off, they all look the same...
Cough, cough... I digress.
Er Xin’s eyebrows knitted with concern. "I must inform my master of this matter."
"Do you know where your master is?" Jiang Chen asked.
"At this time, he should be at Li Qinglian’s tomb; in three days, it will be the anniversary of my mistress’s death. Jiang Chen, please protect her until my master returns."
Jiang Chen nodded. "It’s my bounden duty."
Er Xin left, but Trena didn’t; instead, she stayed in the hotel.
「Dawn.」
A number of people walked into the tavern: not just Wanderers, but also people from the Difiled God Continent, and of course, True Gods from Evil Continent Augustus City. Augustus himself was there.
When Augustus saw Li Qinglian, he marveled quietly. "How strange, a dead person revived. This is truly an eye-opener!"
Augustus looked at Jiang Chen. "Where did you find her?"
"The Continent of All-Gods."
Augustus nodded. "That figures. Is she the God of Priests?"
Jiang Chen asked, "Is there any Divine capable of cloning? A Law that perfectly clones a person?"
Augustus laughed. "That’s a good question. I truly don’t know."
"But you’re a True Divine Lord, aren’t you?"
"A True God might not know everything, but it’s also possible. We’ll discuss it when Bai Yun returns. Be careful, though. Even though this area is under my jurisdiction, there are still many evil thugs ready to harm others." Augustus added, "The key issue is that she has the Priest’s mark. For the next few days, I won’t allow any Divine to enter the city."
Jiang Chen nodded. Augustus has a profound relationship with Bai Yun, so he’s saying this to protect Li Qinglian. He was also afraid of Divine taking action. If a Divine took action, I would be completely powerless...
After Augustus left, many people came. Master Wanderers and the chairmen of the Five Alliances, having heard the news, all came to see Li Qinglian, marveling secretly.
Besides these people, there was another person: Li Xiaolian, Li Qinglian’s younger sister.
Looking at Li Xiaolian, she bears a strong resemblance—about seventy percent—to Li Qinglian. Unfortunately, their personalities are completely different. Li Qinglian is the naïve, pure, and sweet type. Li Xiaolian, on the other hand, is the cold and aloof ’ice queen’ type, her face fixed in a frosty expression, as if everyone owed her money.
When Li Qinglian saw her sister, she smiled and said, "Sister..." She was about to run over and embrace her.
At that moment, Jiang Chen stepped in front of Li Qinglian, sensing the killing intent emanating from Li Xiaolian.
The next second—
CLANG!
Li Xiaolian drew her greatsword, pointed it at Li Qinglian, and said coldly, "Who are you, exactly?"
Li Qinglian looked innocent. "I am your older sister!"
"Hmph! My older sister has long been dead. You are not my sister. Who are you, really? Why are you impersonating my sister?"
At that moment, Li Qinglian anxiously replied, "I am your older sister! Don’t you remember what happened in our childhood? We were under a tree, and you vowed to protect me." To convince Li Xiaolian of her identity, Li Qinglian directly brought up events from their childhood.
Unfortunately, Li Xiaolian still responded coldly, "You are not my sister. Even though you remember things from our childhood, you are not her. Don’t pretend anymore."
WHOOSH!
Li Xiaolian’s figure flashed, and she struck out with a palm toward Li Qinglian.
It happened in a flash. Jiang Chen’s palm met Li Xiaolian’s, forcing her backward.
Jiang Chen smiled. "How could you attack your own sister like that!"
Li Xiaolian looked at Jiang Chen in shock. "Shifting Time and Space."
"Correct."
The other Wanderers were all taken aback.
"What? How does he know the Shifting Time and Space Martial Art?" one exclaimed.
"Don’t forget, Elder Bai Yun, confident in his abilities, learned all the Martial Arts. He must have adapted the Star Shift Sect Unique Study into a Swordsman Skill!" another added.
"Damn it! This Swordsman not only knows Wan Jian Gui Clan’s unique skill but has also learned Shifting Time and Space!"
"It’s said that when Shifting Time and Space is mastered to a high level, it can return all incoming Strength."
"Not just return it, but even enhance it! It’s a core part of the Star Shift Sect Unique Study."
Jiang Chen smiled. "Everyone, if you want to fight, please take it outside the city. I, Jiang Chen, will gladly keep you company. However, if anyone tries to harm Li Qinglian, they will be offending me, and I won’t show any mercy."
No matter if this Li Qinglian is real or not, I have to hand her over to Bai Yun. My future depends on this. Enemies must not be allowed to get close.
Just as someone was about to make a move—
TAP, TAP, TAP...
A large group entered the tavern, led by Hilde, a Divine serving under Augustus.
Hilde said coldly, "Does no one here know the rules of the Land of Sin? No one is allowed to fight within the city, or they shall be executed without mercy. It doesn’t matter which faction you belong to; in short, fighting within the city is a challenge to Lord Augustus’s rules."
