Chapter 532 530: Forgot
Youu's reply was incredibly brief.
He seemed to be saving every word he possibly could.
But his meaning was perfectly clear.
Clearly, he had been sitting here for so long that he himself had lost track of time.
Jiang Jichen sized up Youu. He had a slender build, was dressed in ancient robes, and possessed handsome features.
'Hmm, if he were cleaned up a bit, he'd have the air of an immortal.'
He also had no possessions to his name, just the single set of ancient robes.
But those robes seemed anything but ordinary, having been in the Blood Pool for so long.
Upon his exit, they remained utterly spotless.
"Youu, how did you end up here?"
"Forgot!"
"Youu, why are you covered in so many restrictive shackles?"
"Forgot!"
"Youu, how old are you?"
"Forgot!"
...
And so on. For every question Jiang Jichen asked, he received the same one-word response: Forgot!
'Forget my ass!'
Jiang Jichen was rendered speechless, realizing it was impossible to get any information out of Youu.
So, he turned and went out.
By this time, Liu Tian had already rescued everyone. An old man was now following beside him.
"Thank you, Benefactor!"
As soon as this old man saw Jiang Jichen, he moved to kneel.
The nearly one hundred other people also called out at the same time.
They were truly grateful to Jiang Jichen.
Otherwise, they would have died here.
"Benefactor, our Sects and clans have been destroyed anyway. We have no home to return to and nowhere else to go. Would you take us in? We are willing to follow you to the death!"
"We are willing to follow you to the death!"
The crowd shouted.
Jiang Jichen hadn't expected the situation to turn out like this.
At this moment, Liu Tian sent a voice transmission: "Benefactor, these people are all leaders of small Sects or heads of minor clans. Their Cultivation is not to be underestimated. If you can win them over, they will become a powerful force."
"Moreover, I am familiar with most of them. They all come from clean backgrounds; it's just that the Sects and clans behind them were destroyed by the Poison Devouring Sect!"
Jiang Jichen thought about how his Luochen Sect had just established itself in Chaotic City and was short on manpower. Taking them in wouldn't be a bad idea.
However, he still didn't agree immediately. Instead, he replied, "There's no rush. Let's get out of here first."
"The exit has been sealed. We can't get out!"
Liu Tian said.
Jiang Jichen replied coolly, "It's fine. How could a mere iron gate with a Restriction possibly trap us!"
As he spoke, he casually swung the Holy Sword in his hand.
BOOM!
The restricted iron gate was smashed open, completely unable to withstand the might of Jiang Jichen's Holy Sword.
The crowd had already witnessed Jiang Jichen's formidable power.
At this moment, they were even more deeply shaken.
The youth before them was already so powerful that he couldn't be measured by his Cultivation Realm alone.
Moreover, they had also heard from Liu Tian that the Poison Devouring Sect had been destroyed by this very Spirit Infant youth.
Even Mo Zhao, the Sect Master of Poison Devouring Sect, had been split in two by a single sword strike!
Therefore, these people were filled with reverence and awe for Jiang Jichen.
Soon, the group emerged from the Poison Prison.
They saw Luochen Fairy, Little Gray, and Han Qing all waiting outside.
"Boss, all the disciples of the Poison Devouring Sect have been cleared out. Not a single one remains!"
Han Qing, never one to keep his mouth shut, blurted out the moment he saw Jiang Jichen.
Jiang Jichen nodded, then said to Zhou Qiang, "These are the people rescued from the Poison Prison. Let those who are willing to join our Luochen Sect stay. For those who wish to leave, give them a Healing Elixir and let them go as they please. You make the arrangements."
Although Zhou Qiang's Cultivation wasn't strong, he had some impressive methods when it came to managing people and handling affairs. This was also the reason Jiang Jichen had brought him from the Land of Stray Bandits.
Establishing a new force required someone to manage the countless trivial details.
Zhou Qiang was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Afterward, Jiang Jichen introduced the newcomer to Luochen Fairy and the others, "This guy is Youu. Don't pay him too much mind. Just pretend he doesn't exist!"
Jiang Jichen said, not holding back.
He was still fuming. No matter what he asked, the guy's answer was always the same single word: "Forgot!"
Youu, dressed in his ancient robes, stood ramrod straight behind Jiang Jichen. Hearing Jiang Jichen's introduction, he didn't even raise an eyelid.
His expression remained completely impassive.
Hearing Jiang Jichen's introduction, Luochen Fairy, Han Qing, and the Three Strange Bandits felt even more like Youu was treating them as thin air.
Afterward, Jiang Jichen gave a few more instructions, and everyone went off to get busy.
He, on the other hand, entered the Cultivation Room of the Sect Master of Poison Devouring Sect.
After the series of fierce battles, Jiang Jichen was heavily drained, his internal Spiritual Qi almost completely depleted.
Therefore, he needed to meditate and recover.
Right now, the one thing he didn't lack was Six Paths Spirit Stones, and his absorption speed was extremely fast.
Unconsciously, the day passed and night fell. Jiang Jichen suddenly opened his eyes.
His eyes shone, brimming with energy.
Inside his body, Spiritual Power surged ceaselessly, roaring like a tide.
He had fully recovered. After the great battle, his Cultivation had even improved.
Jiang Jichen's mood brightened.
But he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look.
All at once, he saw a figure.
