Chapter 2127: Chapter 2095: Jing Invincible’s Tragic Past

Looking at Jing Invincible, who was drinking alone, Li Chen and his apprentice, Xiao Chihan, couldn’t help but exchange a glance.

They both read the same word from each other’s eyes.

Tragic!

Really tragic. The same trick, getting caught once is enough, but twice? And it seems the interval wasn’t even that long?

"I know what you’re thinking." Jing Invincible seemed to have drunk too much, his tongue was a bit thick, and there was even a buzz in his voice. This guy was from the Golden Bull Clan by nature, honest and stubborn, sticking to his belief: "But I want to tell you, Qian’er and I are different from that previous woman. We are truly in love. Qian’er risked great danger to tell me the secret."

"I suspect they were afraid the affair would be exposed, so they took Qian’er to make me hesitate." Jing Invincible said through gritted teeth.

Li Chen curiously asked, "What do you mean?"

"Last time I went to see them, the master who made a move was filled with killing intent, clearly intending to do away with me, but the Golden Bull Clan is naturally strong in defense, with great resistance ability, so I managed to escape seriously injured. They were afraid the affair would reach the Golden Bull Clan, leading our army to attack! After all, my clan is no pushover!" Jing Invincible said solemnly.

"But why don’t you directly report the matter to the Golden Bull Clan, Uncle Master Jing?" Finally, Xiao Chihan couldn’t help but ask.

"If I’m alive, the Golden Bull army won’t come over; they will hesitate and dare not harm Qian’er. But if I die, or if the Golden Bull army arrives, Qian’er’s life will certainly not be spared." As he spoke, Jing Invincible slightly closed his eyes, and Li Chen could even see the deep regret in Jing Invincible’s eyes before they closed.

"I can’t return to the Tian Shang Star Continent, because their forces are vast, and if I return to the Golden Bull Clan, they will definitely find out, and Qian’er will also be at risk. So I can only hide and cultivate, waiting until I’m strong enough to personally rescue Qian’er! But right now, I’m still too weak..." Jing Invincible held a wine cup with one hand and clenched his fist tightly with the other.

Li Chen and Xiao Chihan exchanged another glance.

This time they again saw the same expression in each other’s eyes.

"Utterly tragic beyond words."

To be honest, Li Chen didn’t expect Jing Invincible would end up like this. Back in the day, Jing Invincible, though not talkative, was full of pride and ambition.

Li Chen, Mo Wushang, and Jing Invincible, along with Li Youxue, teamed up to venture into the Wild Thorn Plains, kill Black Beasts, enter the Nether River, slay the Demon King, and plot against the Black Beast Emperor. They were so spirited, but now Jing Invincible became this, making Li Chen speechless.

"Brother Jing, you at least have the cultivation of a Zuitian Realm Heavenly King. What level of strong enemies are you facing, that makes you hide and cultivate, not daring to show your face?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Jing Invincible replied in a muffled voice, "Heavenly Sovereign."

Xiao Chihan couldn’t help but frown; too tragic!

Even Li Chen was speechless. The fact that he survived an encounter with a Heavenly Sovereign showed how fortunate he was, let alone seeking revenge and rescuing someone.

No wonder he’s like this. I initially thought he was a spineless guy, unable to handle such a setback. Brother Jing, I misjudged you!

Li Chen rolled his eyes inside; this guy is really down on his luck.

"Brother Jing, do you have a specific plan?" Li Chen asked.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Jing Invincible was startled, then immediately sobered up and said seriously, "Brother Li, I know you mean well, but I still don’t want you involved. After all, my enemy..." Jing Invincible shook his head, clearly feeling hopeless.

"It’s fine, just tell me, it doesn’t matter." Li Chen smiled nonchalantly.

"That woman is from the Yishui Pavilion." Jing Invincible said, "Maybe you haven’t heard of this force, but they are truly powerful, reaching across many Star Continents, and even owning interstellar trade routes."

Li Chen nodded; to be involved in interstellar trade is indeed quite extraordinary.

After all, not everyone can afford to hire countless strong people for protection like in Tearful Valley, nor can everyone achieve the combined development of technology and martial arts like them, prospering both ways.

Most forces, when conducting interstellar trade, rely on their own people to protect the Star Boat.

And those who can protect the Star Boat are at least kings!

So in this way, Yishui Pavilion is really not simple.

"So Brother Jing, you are here because..."

"In two days, it’s the wedding day of that woman." Jing Invincible’s voice took on a chill when talking about ’that woman’: "She is marrying Zhu Haomiao, the son of the current Hierarch of Heaven Sea Alliance, and the ceremony is held not far away in Yantian City."

"Heaven Sea Alliance?" Li Chen was once again surprised.

"Brother Li, now you know why I’m like this, right?" Jing Invincible looked at Li Chen and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

"I understand." Li Chen looked at Jing Invincible with sympathy.

Back then, Jing Invincible was also a proud genius, and now he became like this, clearly having suffered a significant blow.

But as an old friend, one who helped him in the past, Li Chen couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

"Brother Jing, get ready to move." Li Chen said.

"Move?" Jing Invincible was puzzled.

"To Yantian City." Li Chen said.

"Brother Li is going to Yantian City too?" Jing Invincible was startled.

"I originally didn’t plan to go." Li Chen smiled, showing his white teeth, "But now, I want to go and take a look. Speaking of, I have some old scores to settle with the Heaven Sea Alliance."

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Jing Invincible quickly said, "Brother Li, I know you are not what you used to be, but I still hope you don’t act rashly."

Jing Invincible looked serious: "The Heaven Sea Alliance is different from other places, Brother Li. Though you are strong, messing up the Heaven Sea Alliance’s affairs will definitely lead to their pursuit. The Heaven Sea Alliance is a famous major force on the Star Land of Heavenly Might, with several Heavenly Sovereigns among them..."

"Alright, alright." Li Chen waved his hand, "Brother Jing, don’t worry. Back then, you and Brother Mo did me a huge favor. Without you two, who knows how we siblings would be and if we could meet again. Now you are in trouble, and if I stand by doing nothing, even my apprentice might doubt he chose the wrong master, right?" Li Chen looked over at Xiao Chihan.

Xiao Chihan nodded vigorously, cooperating with Li Chen, "Yes, yes, yes."

"Smack!" Li Chen raised his hand and smacked the back of Xiao Chihan’s head, "Am I so unworthy in your eyes?"

Xiao Chihan rubbed his head and pulled a bitter face. Wasn’t this what you signaled me to do, master? Why hit me?

Now Xiao Chihan really doubted if he chose the wrong master. The master was good and generous to him.

But why does he keep hitting me? Doesn’t he know that hitting me on the head often could make me stupid?
