Chapter 550 548: Reunion with Old Friends
Who is he?
The thought occurred to them all at once.
Someone this powerful couldn't possibly be a nobody.
Jiang Jichen let these people retreat and didn't give chase.
This was only halfway up Six Paths Peak; the truly supreme experts were all at the top.
One double-hour later, Han Qing opened his eyes.
"Haha... With the Black Tortoise Pearl, my strength has soared! Master Han fears no hero in this world!"
Han Qing roared with arrogant laughter.
But Jiang Jichen, Little Gray, and Youu all ignored him, continuing their climb toward the higher reaches of the Six Paths Peaks.
Flying was forbidden high up on the Six Paths Peaks, so everyone had to obediently climb their way up.
Han Qing laughed for a while, but seeing no one around, he grew bored and scurried after Jiang Jichen's group.
"It's not Master Han bragging, but my defense is invincible!"
Han Qing continued to boast as he caught up to Jiang Jichen's party.
"Good. You'll be on defense in a bit!"
Jiang Jichen said with a grin.
"Hmph! With Master Han here, I guarantee everyone's safety!"
Han Qing said, puffing out his chest.
As the group advanced, they constantly encountered people fighting.
Some fought over a small map of the New Domain, others for Supreme Spiritual Medicine, and still others for supreme treasures.
The life-and-death bloodshed was brutal to the extreme.
Corpses were everywhere, and blood stained the mountain forest red!
Jiang Jichen and his group stayed out of the fray, continuously drawing closer to Six Paths Peak.
Of course, that was also because while the items that appeared were supreme treasures, they held little attraction for Jiang Jichen and his companions.
A double-hour later, Jiang Jichen and his group finally reached the summit.
From a distance, they could see that all nine peaks on the summit were already occupied.
Jiang Jichen now stood on a massive mountain top separate from the nine peaks.
This spot was as high as the nine peaks, but it was far from the Sky Pit Vortex.
Several thousand people stood on the massive mountaintop.
It was like a huge public square; anyone who made it to the summit would appear here.
However, one needed true strength to ascend the nine peaks surrounding the Sky Pit Vortex.
Right now, all nine peaks were occupied, but only seven were completely claimed, with no one else daring to charge up them.
On the remaining two peaks, several factions were still fighting for control.
By now, countless people had already fallen, their blood dyeing the peaks red.
"Little Chen!"
Just then, Jiang Jichen suddenly heard someone call his name. The voice was very familiar.
It was Hua Xiaoling!
Even before turning to look, Jiang Jichen already knew who it was.
He looked up, and sure enough, it was her.
Hua Xiaoling flew over, soaring toward Jiang Jichen like a young swallow returning to its nest.
Jiang Jichen naturally opened his arms and caught Hua Xiaoling as she threw herself into his embrace.
"Hua Girl, I've missed you to death!"
Hua Xiaoling was very open with her affection. Even in public, she buried her head in Jiang Jichen's chest without a hint of hesitation.
She had truly missed Jiang Jichen so much!
They hadn't seen each other for over half a year, and she had been constantly worried that something had happened to Jiang Jichen.
Now, seeing him safe and sound, she was filled with a heartfelt joy and could barely contain her emotions.
Only someone who loved him so deeply would dare to be so bold.
How could Jiang Jichen not feel the depth of Hua Xiaoling's affection for him?
He was often cold-blooded and ruthless in his slaughter, but that was only toward his enemies.
For the people he cared about, there was always a soft spot in his heart open for them.
"Little Chen, I missed you so much!"
Hua Xiaoling murmured, her head still buried in Jiang Jichen's chest.
"Lovesick fool!"
However, a voice cut in just then.
It was Blood Hand and Qing Xun, who were walking over.
Qing Xun was the one who had spoken.
"It's true, Xiaoling. You're too infatuated with him. You can't spoil men like that."
Blood Hand added from the side.
But even though the two women said that, how could Jiang Jichen miss the longing and fervent heat in their eyes?
Only then did Xiaoling, slightly embarrassed, pull away from Jiang Jichen's embrace.
Her face was flushed with shyness, making her look utterly charming and beautiful.
As for Blood Hand and Qing Xun, after cultivating the Blood Phoenix Technique and Cyan Phoenix Technique, the two had become even more stunningly beautiful. They also possessed an incredibly noble aura that inspired an endless desire in others to conquer them.
"It seems the two beauties are jealous. How about we make it fair and you both come over for a hug?"
Jiang Jichen said with a laugh.
At that moment, Jiang Jichen's group instantly became the center of everyone's attention.
Of course, it wasn't because of Jiang Jichen, but because Hua Xiaoling, Qing Xun, and Blood Hand were all peerless beauties who would have been the focus of attention wherever they went.
What's more, the Two Beauties of Yunshui had also walked over and were smiling at Jiang Jichen.
Such a group of top-grade women were all gathered around a mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator!
It would be impossible to say that the crowd wasn't jealous and envious.
Someone from Hua Xiaoling's own group even shot him a very unfriendly look.
Only then did Jiang Jichen have a chance to look at the group Hua Xiaoling was with.
Tang Han, Suotu, Little Haas, Fang Ying, the Bald Man, and Mo Yu were all there, but he didn't see Yee Youmeng.
Besides these familiar faces, Jiang Jichen also saw many more he didn't recognize.
Their strength was formidable. Among them was one person who was definitely ranked in the top thirty on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list.
However, Jiang Jichen didn't care. All that mattered to him was that the people he cared about were safe.
And the one who had shot him that unfriendly look just now was precisely the strongest person in that group.
The Two Beauties of Yunshui approached, and Shui Yunyao giggled, "Little man, you haven't changed at all. Still trying to take advantage of all the pretty girls!"
Su Xuefei, her white robes fluttering and her face hidden by a veil, spoke in a pleasant, melodious voice, "Sisters, it would be wise to keep your distance from a man like this!"
Seeing so many beauties, all of them old acquaintances, Jiang Jichen was in high spirits. "Proprietress, you just haven't seen the parts of me that *have* changed. How about we find some time to be alone, close the door, and verify it... intimately?"
"And beautiful Su Xuefei, a friendly reminder: staying away from a peerless man like me would be your loss!"
Jiang Jichen's words undoubtedly left the Two Beauties of Yunshui at a loss.
Shui Yunyao cursed under her breath, "Hooligan!"
Su Xuefei, on the other hand, sneered, "Only a ghost would believe you!"
Jiang Jichen flirtatiously greeted the women, making the onlookers burn with envy.
'Damn it! He's just some kid in the Spirit Infant Realm, yet he has such incredible luck with women! We're genius experts of the Nascent Soul Realm, so why are we still single?'
'It's not scientific, and it's even more unfair!'
The group of men thought indignantly, their cold gazes fixed on Jiang Jichen, all filled with ill intent.
But Jiang Jichen completely ignored their stares, walking over to greet Tang Han, Suotu, Little Haas, Fang Ying, the Bald Man, and Mo Yu.
Little Haas was inwardly uneasy. His attention had just been focused on a female cultivator from the Dark Race not far ahead.
He had been careless for a moment and hadn't noticed his master's arrival right away.
He immediately tried to make up for it, sending a telepathic message to Jiang Jichen: "Master, your charm is truly unmatched! Everywhere you go, you're surrounded by beauties, one on each arm! Little Haas is in absolute awe!"
