# Chapter 1968: A Scourge Lasts a Thousand Years?
In front of Noah Manor, a large crowd had already gathered!
They were all here to watch the show!
After all, as a Throne Angel, Eridius had been standing here for who knows how long!
The Divine Patrol had also been active, isolating the inner and outer spaces of Noah Manor to prevent Jiangnan from returning to the city.
He kept glancing towards the direction of the city, a hint of confusion in his eyes!
It's been so long, why hasn't Shaye sent me a message yet? With a configuration like Yagan and the others, there's no way they couldn't take down a single Jiangnan, right?
However, at that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd!
"Hey hey hey~ Make way! What's all the pushing for? I'm trying to go back to my room and sleep!"
Everyone followed the direction of the sound to look!
There stood Jiangnan, covered in black, holding Olivia's hand as he pushed through the crowd.
In an instant, everyone's expressions turned to extreme terror!
୧(ºkouº*)୨ "Sss~ Jiangnan? Is that Jiangnan's melon? His melon is a poisonous pumpkin, you can't eat that, right?"
The moment Jiangnan appeared, half the crowd immediately ran away!
After all, the unforgettable scene of "everyone who saw it got pissed, willing to smell the shit" was still fresh in memory.
Even Eridius was stunned!
He stared at Jiangnan in shock!
What the hell? How did he come back? Didn't Shaye and the others go to mess with this kid?
How did they...
Before Eridius could react, Jiangnan pulled out a Small Stool and smashed it against the Divine Patrol projection in front of him!
With a "crack" sound!
The projection of the Divine Patrol Throne Angel was smashed straight through with a hole, and Jiangnan stepped right across the Kill-Stop Line in one stride!
Eridius's eyes bulged wide, staring at Jiangnan in horror!
꒰ঌ(|||രkouര)໒꒱
How is this possible?
He... he just got in? This is the Divine Patrol! How did you smash through it?
"Hey hey hey? You—"
Jiangnan glared:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Stupid birdman, what are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before? Standing here for hours, cosplaying a telephone pole?"
"Disappear from my face right now! Looking at you kills my appetite!"
Eridius was furious:
꒰ঌ(ꐦ°᷄yi°᷅)໒꒱ "Who are you calling? Where are Shaye and the others? What did you do to them?"
Jiangnan curled his lip: (￢৺￢◕) "What happened to them has nothing to do with me! Are you going to get lost or not? Don't blame me if I get rude!"
Eridius's eyes flickered. Jiangnan came back safely, which meant something happened to Shaye and the others?
Impossible! The Angel Judgment Team couldn't be so weak as to not even take down Jiangnan!
He'd have to ask about the specifics later.
꒰ঌ(๑‾́～‾́)໒꒱ "Hah~ Make me leave? Do you have that authority? Even though we're both inside the Kill-Stop Line and I can't kill you..."
"As a resident of Noah Manor, it's only right for me to stay here. What business is it of yours? I..."
Jiangnan looked disgusted:
(zhe yi zheꐦ) "Blah blah blah, so annoying! Three numbers! Are you leaving or not?"
As he spoke, he pulled an Angel Egg out of the Alternate Dimension. Before Eridius could react,
he smashed the eggshell with the Small Stool, then poured a bowl of chicken soup straight through the crack!
A scream like a slaughtered chicken came from inside the eggshell, and it dissolved instantly!
Another Angel's Wound Mark appeared on Jiangnan's body.
"Three! Still not leaving?"
As he spoke, he pulled out two more Angel Eggs, cracked them open, and held the chicken soup ready to pour in.
Eridius: !!!
꒰ঌ(ꐦ◣yi◢)໒꒱ "Jiangnan! How dare you!"
Daring to harm fellow angels right in front of him?
He exploded with rage, reaching straight for Jiangnan's crown.
Jiangnan didn't even lift his head. Beside him, Olivia suddenly shouted!
٩(O≥口≤O)۶ "Ah! Murder! Someone's breaking the rules, making a move inside the Kill-Stop Line!"
The next second, a flash of blood appeared before Jiangnan. Prison Bird, with a blood-red scythe, blocked directly in front of Eridius's neck!
Murderous intent flared in his eyes:
乁(˶‾᷄–‾᷅)ㄏ "Go ahead! That's exactly what I want. I've been putting up with you for a long time!"
"Using your blood to paint the Kill-Stop Line—it'll definitely be bright, right?"
Eridius's movement froze, veins bulging on his forehead.
[Eridius Resentment +1008!]
[Eridius...]
Two more Angel Eggs were dissolved.
"Two!"
Prison Bird was even excited watching this:
乁(⚆.̮⚆˶)ㄏ "Got any more? Crack a few more open!"
Jiangnan grinned:
(◕‾᷄.̫‾᷅) "Quite a few. Let's open some more then."
With that, he pulled out two more, raising the Small Stool to smash them.
Eridius: !!!
꒰ঌ(|||ರyiರ)໒꒱ "Stop! Don't smash! Fine, you win! I'll go! I'll go right now!"
If he stayed any longer, who knows how many more Jiangnan would kill?
How did he have so many Angel Eggs? Could Shaye and the others really have been taken out?
Jiangnan curled his lip:
˚‧º·(zheεzhe◕) "Should have left earlier, wouldn't that have been done? Blah blah blah—Hah~ ptoo!"
Then he put the eggs back into the Alternate Dimension and swaggered back to his room.
Everyone watched, dumbfounded. Damn, he's ruthless!
Right in front of a Throne Angel, he "miscarried" three Angel Eggs?
Not afraid at all?
Eridius could only slink away, going to investigate what happened. Prison Bird's eyes sparkled.
Good stuff! He thought he'd never see Jiangnan again!
But the guy actually came back alive? And brought so many Angel Eggs? This kid's got skill, huh?
Truly, "good people die young, but a scourge lasts a thousand years."
---
As soon as Jiangnan entered the room, Ai Jiang pounced into his arms, rubbing against him vigorously!
٩(๑˃̶͈̀ヮ˂̶͈́)۶ "Master! You're finally back! Ai Jiang was so worried!"
Jiangnan twitched his mouth: "What's going on? Are you cosplaying as mop heads?"
Ai Jiang had quite a few paper strips stuck to her face, but the scariest were Mo Mo and Xing Cheng!
Their heads were no longer heads—they were literally mop heads, okay?
Ye Yuan, on the other hand, was glowing with delight:
(◕ˇ↼ˇ◕) "What did I say? He'd come back, right? Come on! Pay up, pay up!"
Ai Jiang pouted: ᥬ(•̆₃•̆)᭄ "Fine, fine! As long as Master is safe, anything goes!"
Reluctantly, she transferred Star Source Points to Ye Yuan.
Jiangnan twitched his mouth. So they were betting on whether he'd come back?
He teleported to Ye Yuan's side:
(◕ಡ͜ʖಡ) "Hey~ Sharing half with me isn't too much, right? If I hadn't come back, you would've lost, no?"
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes: "Half my ass! Want to play a few rounds? Try to win from me?"
After thousands of rounds of practice, Ye Yuan felt his card skills could be called the God of Mahjong!
Jiangnan looked uninterested: "Forget it, I'm afraid I'll lose you your underwear. You guys play. I need to cultivate."
With that, he went to the side and pulled out piles of Star Source Energy Blocks, preparing to start cultivating.
Ye Yuan was stunned. This kid changed his personality? He won't even play for money? Is he scared of me?
With the big battle imminent, Jiangnan decided to hone his skills a bit more.
When his senses were sealed earlier, that feeling of spatial rhythm was still fresh in his mind.
This kind of opportunity was rare. Better to consolidate and see if he could gain something.
But before cultivating, Jiangnan thought of something, a grin curling at the corner of his mouth.
He pulled out his smart device and sent a text back to Yue Li.
Nan Shen: (◕͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Li Bao'er, want to meet again tomorrow for the Black Mark Assembly?"
After sending it, he immediately started cultivating.
---
On the other side, Yue Li, who was helping the inspectors check the Black Street account books, was almost bored to sleep.
↜(⃔っ⁼̴～⁼̴C)⃕～ZZZ
She propped her chin up, nodding off.
Not just Yue Li, even Suo Sang was driven crazy by the auditing. All the accounts were beautifully faked—everyone on Black Street knew what was really going on!
He was purely nitpicking.
He wondered how young master Norman was doing. That Jiangnan was too arrogant, openly slapping the Bose Clan in the face!
He deserved to pay a price!
Just then, the special alert tone for Jiangnan rang. Yue Li perked up immediately!
She quickly took a puff of her pipe to wake up, then looked down—her eyes filled with surprise!
A message from Jiangnan?
Meet again tomorrow? That means he's fine? The problem is resolved?
She immediately brought her smart device to the table to reply.
Yue Li: ↜(⃔っᵒ̶̶̷̀◡˂̶́C)⃕ Okay!
Suo Sang immediately noticed the content on the chat interface. His eyes narrowed.
A message from Jiangnan? He's fine?
Wasn't Norman with the Heavenly Kingdom people going to mess with him? How does Jiangnan still have the mood to flirt with Yue Li?
Suo Sang's eyes flickered: "Nothing major found. Let's stop here."
"I have other things to attend to, so I'll leave now."
With that, he stood up to leave. Yue Li grinned teasingly and quickly called out:
↜(⃔っಡ▿ಡC)⃕ "Eh? Leaving so soon? Stay a bit longer and check, I don't mind!"
Suo Sang's expression was cold. He snorted disdainfully and swept off with a flick of his sleeve.
He turned and went straight to Black Street Stargazing Hotel. In the room, Kunta and the others were pacing anxiously.
Why hasn't young master Norman returned yet?
He said he went with the angels to make Jiangnan look bad, but it's been so long!
Just then, Suo Sang suddenly appeared in the room.
"Where's Norman? The job isn't done yet? I just got word that Jiangnan is perfectly fine!"
Kunta quickly bowed: "Greetings, Lord Suo Sang! The young master hasn't returned yet. Jiangnan is fine? Impossible? He..."
Suo Sang narrowed his eyes: "I saw it with my own eyes, I'm not mistaken. Contact Norman, ask him..."
Kunta broke out in a cold sweat:
(‧̣̥̇･ˇ﹏ˇ･) "I... I can't reach him. Young master Norman's horn was chopped off by Jiangnan!"
Suo Sang's eyes bulged: Σ(っ°口°;)っ "What?"
This time, not only Eridius was stunned, but Suo Sang and Kunta were also stunned!
They searched high and low, but still couldn't find Shaye and the others. Meanwhile, Jiangnan appeared at Noah Manor completely unscathed!
As for Norman, he had simply vanished—evaporated into thin air!
Kunta panicked completely. If the young master had really come to harm, it would be a disaster!
This matter was beyond what he could handle. He had to report to Lord Xing Luo!
---
Late at night, in the star-gazing room, accompanied by a "boom," Jiangnan's rank broke through to Dao Heaven Five Stars!
Another few billion Star Source Points evaporated!
The nutrition from eating delicacies was naturally better than from rough fare.
But Jiangnan didn't open his eyes. He sat silently in place.
The next moment, the space around Jiangnan solidified, then crazily flowed toward his body. He himself seemed to vanish for an instant—
Becoming an endless black, not the black of Black Garlic, but an invisible black.
Ye Yuan, who was in the middle of a mahjong game, suddenly froze. He stood up abruptly, his gaze sharp as he stared at Jiangnan!
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief!
But this state only lasted a moment before it stopped abruptly. Jiangnan's eyes snapped open, both filled with red veins!
His body was drenched in cold sweat. He leaned on his knees, panting heavily, his face full of shock and uncertainty!
Ye Yuan's expression was grave: "Kid! What was that just now?"
Ai Jiang and Mo Mo looked at Jiangnan in confusion.
ᥬ(•︠～•︡)᭄(•̌～•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
What's wrong?
Isn't it just a level up? What's there to be surprised about?
For Jiangnan, this was totally normal, okay?
Clearly, they hadn't noticed the anomaly just now.
Jiangnan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "N... nothing."
Then he looked down at his hands, silent, his face still unsettled.
Even I don't know what that was just now, damn it!
Jiangnan hadn't dared to use it, hadn't even dared to open the door!
Because he felt like he would die—definitely die!
Ye Yuan remained grim as he slowly sat back in his chair, frowning deeply.
Was it his imagination?
