Jiang Chen had despaired at first when he learned that his father had been sent to the Moon God Sect by the Heavensfall Society and then thrown into the Sable Cells. But hope had dawned in the end. Not only had he found his father in the Sable Cells, but his father was still alive, albeit extremely weakened. As long as his father was still alive, Jiang Chen would be able to restore Jiang Feng to his vigor of yesteryear.
He slowly transferred some energy into his father's body to strengthen his father's physique and vital functions. Thanks to Jiang Chen's treatment from both inside and out, Jiang Feng slightly recovered two hours later. His vitals had stabilized, even though he was still very weak.
"Chen'er… is it just me, or is your cultivation… quite impressive?" Jiang Feng was slightly surprised. Naturally, he could sense the tremendous power concealed inside Jiang Chen's body.
"Father, let's chat after we get out of here. Back then, you told me not to come to the Upper Eight Regions to find you before I improved my cultivation level. Although I was very worried for your safety, I didn't dare go against your will. Instead, I cultivated hard so that I could reunite with you as soon as possible."
Jiang Feng smiled brightly. "Good, good. I'm proud of you, my son!"
"Come, let's get out of here." Jiang Chen carried his father on his back. His speed was barely impacted by the fact that he was carrying a man roughly fifty kilograms. He planned on avoiding the two pursuers who were chasing after him at first, but soon discovered that the path was completely clear. He only saw the two pursuers with awkward expressions on their faces and even afraid to meet his eyes after he emerged. Jiang Chen was a smart man. He immediately knew that Emperor Peerless had used his martial prowess to "talk to" them.
These cultivators didn't impress Jiang Chen favorably in the least. They were one of the major reasons who'd made his father this way. Still, the discovery that his father was still alive had dispelled most of his fury.
When the experts of the Ten Ultimates noticed that Jiang Feng was on Jiang Chen's back and seemingly recovering, they all let out a long sigh of relief. They'd fretted immensely just now that Jiang Feng was either dead or couldn't be saved. It was highly unlikely they would survive if either one of those cases were true, so they all felt like they'd just narrowly escaped a brush with death.
"How is he, brother?" Emperor Peerless walked forward with concern.
"Thank heavens that he can be saved." Jiang Chen swept a cold glance at the experts of the Ten Ultimates. "I'm aware that the Sable Cells has its own laws of survival, so I won't pursue this anymore. Don't expect me to feel any gratitude towards you lot though. I'm going to take him with me. Does anyone have an opinion to share?"
Everyone knew that this young man was young and weaker than they were, but no one dared to rebuke him. They shook their heads in response.
"Young master Shao, please forgive us for being blind and foolish. You are a great, magnanimous man. Please don't hold this over our heads." He Fengui spoke seriously. No one thought that he was an embarrassment for speaking so submissively.
"Yeah, young master Shao. If we knew how great your friend is, we would never have plotted anything in the first place."
"Ai, it's all the Moon God Sect's fault. I can't believe they just randomly throw people into the Sable Cells without checking their background! What a lawless sect!"
Jiang Chen didn't like to hear such irresponsible words. He didn't plan to interact with any of them either. He nodded indifferently. "I'm taking a prisoner with me. What will happen if a Moon God Sect member finds out and asks about him?"
"How many die in the Sable Cells every day?" He Fenghui chuckled. "No one cares if a person suddenly goes missing here. You don't have to worry at all, young master Shao. No one will ever ask about him."
"What if someone decides to tattle behind our backs?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly.
