Ambush

White Cloud County.

City Guard, Cultivation Chamber.

"Jiang Chen, your parents are here."

Just as he was meditating in cultivation, One-Armed Old Lu's booming voice came through.

Jiang Chen opened his eyes and left the Cultivation Chamber.

It seemed that what had happened at the Liu Residence yesterday had already spread throughout the Prefecture City.

That made sense.

Only two scapegoats had died. The Deity Sacrifice Cult's key figures had not been rooted out, so even if the City Guard wanted to suppress the news, they could not.

"Father, Mother!"

When he arrived at the War Character Camp's quarters, his parents were pacing back and forth, looking around from time to time.

"Chen'er, you weren't hurt, were you?"

The moment they saw Jiang Chen approach, Jiang Sihai and Lin Shuyun hurried over and examined him carefully.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"It's good that you're all right..."

"Chen'er, I heard that several Commandants died yesterday?"

Lin Shuyun then asked about the rumors in the city.

They only hoped that Jiang Chen could live safely and peacefully.
