Chapter 67: You Have Always Been Just a Pawn!

“Surprisingly, you didn’t make a move in the Ancestral Dragon City; that was unexpected,” Jiang Chen, holding the Demon God Son by the neck, spoke with a cold tone, causing shivers down the his spine.

“Did you anticipate from the beginning that I would also come to the Ancestral Dragon City?” The Demon God Son’s pupils shrank, feeling a chilling dread spreading throughout his body.

If Jiang Chen had anticipated even this, it would be terrifying. Or did Jiang Chen have some special intelligence that informed him of their movements? But if that were the case, they would have been captured in the Ancestral Dragon City already.

“Given your nature, you would have eagerly gone to the Ancestral Dragon City, hoping to make a grand appearance at the Gathering of Prodigies there, wishing to use it as a stepping stone to trample us underfoot,” Jiang Chen’s eyes were profound as if he had the ability to read minds, laying bare the Demon God Son’s inner thoughts.

“But seeing our battles, you probably got scared, lacking the confidence and fearing the exposure of your identity, thus you chose not to show up,” Jiang Chen deduced.

“You’re saying I didn’t show up because I knew I couldn’t achieve what I wanted, to sweep through all the geniuses and instead, I would become a stepping stone for others. So, I didn’t dare to appear,” the Demon God Son fell silent, as Jiang Chen’s words struck true.

“Do you know why you became the Demon God Son?” Jiang Chen asked again.

When the Demon God Son heard this, his pupils gleamed defiantly, “Are you suggesting I don’t deserve to be the Demon God Son? Even if I am to die today, you can’t humiliate me with this. I became the Demon God Son because my talents were the strongest in the Extreme Path Demon Sect!”

“You really know nothing, do you?” Jiang Chen scoffed. “What was your status in the Extreme Path Demon Sect a few years ago? You were just a common disciple, as ordinary as they come.”

“Then overnight, your talent exploded, and you encountered countless fortuitous opportunities. Why do you think that is? Do you really think it’s because your talents awakened?”

The Demon God Son fell silent. He remembered that indeed, as Jiang Chen said, he was an extremely ordinary disciple in the sect, who then suddenly experienced an explosive growth in talent and power.

“You mean I’m like this Demon God Son?” Yan Ruyu immediately realized, she had always wondered why Yan Ling looked at her differently.

It turns out everything had a purpose, just as she had suspected, Yan Ling had intentions from the beginning.

“No wonder, no wonder!” Yan Ruyu murmured to herself, her complexion turning a bit pale.

Although she had anticipated this, having spent many years with Yan Ling and considering Yan Ling’s past protection, Yan Ruyu still harbored some feelings for her, albeit complicated ones.

“You don’t have to overthink it. With me here, no one dares to scheme against you in the future,” Jiang Chen sighed and patted Yan Ruyu’s head. Some characters inside are truly tragic, their entire lives being manipulated.

“Okay!” Yan Ruyu, feeling like she had found a reliable support, nestled comfortably in Jiang Chen’s embrace. For her now, Jiang Chen was her only pillar and reliance.

“Holy Son, how can I assist you to obtain the Yin-Yang Holy Body?” Yan Ruyu asked, ready to do anything to help Jiang Chen achieve the Yin-Yang Holy Body.

Jiang Chen gave her a strange look, “Why do you think I want the Yin-Yang Holy Body? I already possess the Mixed Yuan Dao Body; I don’t need such a physique. Even having another one wouldn’t be of much use to me.”

Yan Ruyu was puzzled. If the Holy Son did not want the Yin-Yang Holy Body, why go through so much trouble? Could it be for her? Thinking this made Yan Ruyu’s fair cheeks turn a shade of red, like a ripe apple.

“It seems you’ve guessed it. This thing is prepared for you, but merging it into the Yin-Yang Holy Body is not so simple; there are some things that need to be done. But it can be achieved in the Yin-Yang Sea!” Jiang Chen said with a light laugh.

With the Mixed Yuan Dao Body, Jiang Chen did not need any additional physiques. The Yin-Yang Holy Body would not be of much use to him. The Mixed Yuan Dao Body encompasses everything, including all Dao bodies.

To some extent, if Jiang Chen fully develops the Mixed Yuan Dao Body to its extreme, he would control everything, with all the laws of the world under his command.

Whether it’s the Yin-Yang Dao or the Space-Time Dao, they would just be one of the many Daos he controls. Hence, Jiang Chen does not care much for this so-called Yin-Yang Holy Body.
