Jiang Chen, accompanied by Xiao Hei, one hundred soldiers of the Black Dragon Army, and one hundred soldiers of the Crimson Flame Army, departed from Great Xia and headed for the Eagle Empire.
Meanwhile, Tang Chuchu gathered the disciples of the Heaven Gate and assembled at the Tianshan Sect, demanding their submission. She engaged the sect’s patriarch, Chen Qingshan, in battle. By wielding the True Evil Sword, she severed the Tianshan Sect’s Glacial Sword, which intimidated Chen Qingshan enough to make him abandon his blade and flee.
However, Tang Chuchu was struck by a palm blow during the fight. Chen Qingshan had unleashed the Profound Spirit Palm—a sinister and venomous martial art created centuries ago by a legendary demon, which had remained a notorious part of history. This technique had vanished for a hundred years, having last been used decades ago by Jiang Tian. At that time, Jiang Tian was branded as a man of no talent and was ostracized by the Jiang family. Now, Chen Qingshan had brought this martial art back to light, and it caused Tang Chuchu immense trouble. Upon returning to her home in the Capital, she attempted to purge the icy, toxic energy, but no matter how much effort she expended or what methods she tried, she could not expel it. The cold energy clung to her blood and bones like a maggot in the marrow, impossible to cast away.
