Chapter 562 The Acquaintance Huo Jifeng, and the Blind Ling Xuan

Jiang Chen's indifferent indifference seemed to be a provocation to that professional.

His face darkened, and he was about to lash out when he was tightly pulled back by another companion beside him.

His companion, a burly soldier, gently shook his head at him, signaling him to calm down, and then pulled him away from Jiang Chen quickly.

Jiang Chen paid no attention to their actions. After enjoying the scenery before him, he resumed his climb.

The professional who was pulled away was named Ling Xuan. He was clearly unhappy about being dragged away by his companion and struggled to turn back to confront Jiang Chen. "Li Gang, what are you doing? Why did you pull me?" he demanded angrily.

Li Gang, the burly soldier, calmly shook his head. "Ling Xuan, I'm not pulling you up, I'm saving you."

Ling Xuan clearly didn't believe it. "Save me? Are you kidding me?"

Li Gang took a deep breath and looked at him seriously. "Think about it carefully. That young man is so young, yet he was able to get here. Do you think he's weak?"

Even if he's not as good as you now, how can you estimate his future potential?

Upon hearing this, Ling Xuan's expression changed slightly. He had indeed not considered this point. He had only been angered by Jiang Chen's youth and words, without giving it much thought.

Li Gang patted him on the shoulder, "Think it over carefully, and then catch up." With that, he turned and continued climbing. Soon, Li Gang spotted Jiang Chen. He quickened his pace, caught up with Jiang Chen, and struck up a conversation: "Brother, my companion's words were a bit harsh just now, I hope you don't mind."

Jiang Chen glanced at him and smiled faintly, "It's alright." He really didn't take it to heart.

Seeing Jiang Chen's magnanimity, Li Gang secretly admired him. He changed the subject, wanting to get closer to Jiang Chen: "Brother, are you also planning to go to the Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace?"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly in response.

Seeing this, Li Gang continued, "We are from the Shan Hai Guild, and we have a fixed dungeon team. Although our results aren't top-notch, we can still carry someone through a dungeon without any problem. If you need help, you can contact me. My name is Li Gang, a level 67 warrior, and the captain of the third team in the Shan Hai Guild's Tianshan Shen Gong strategy group."

Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "Okay, thank you."

After a brief exchange with Jiang Chen, Li Gang left. Jiang Chen observed Li Gang and thought he was quite clever, knowing how to remain neutral in complex interpersonal relationships and avoid making enemies.

From Li Gang's words, Jiang Chen could sense that while the Mountain and Sea Guild wasn't a top-tier power, it wasn't without foundation either. They weren't inactive, but they couldn't compare to a powerful guild like the Blue Leaf Guild.

Jiang Chen understood that while Li Gang's offer to help him through the dungeon was well-intentioned, it was primarily driven by self-interest. After all, an extra slot in a dungeon meant extra revenue. Jiang Chen's participation, even as the "boss," would bring additional financial rewards to the team.

In the final kilometer of altitude, the wind and snow gradually dissipated, especially in the last five hundred meters, where the wind and snow completely stopped, revealing a clear mountain path. Jiang Chen walked forward, admiring the scenery along the way, as if he were in a beautiful painting. He no longer used his flying skills, but instead walked firmly on the snow, feeling the freshness and chill brought by the ice and snow.

Jiang Chen's relaxed demeanor attracted the attention of those around him. Wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, he showed no fear in the cold wind, treating the soul pressure as nothing, which only added to his mystique. Some cast envious glances, while others looked on with jealousy and disdain.

Not far from the dungeon entrance, the Shan Hai Guild team was also struggling forward. Li Gang and Ling Xuan had rejoined the team, but Ling Xuan was still dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's attitude. Seeing Jiang Chen remain relaxed and at ease under the pressure, he felt even more indignant.

The burly man at the front of the group was the captain of the Mountain and Sea Guild. His sharp eyes swept over Jiang Chen, and he whispered, "This man is not simple." Ling Xuan, however, did not take it seriously and retorted, "Captain, you are overestimating him." The captain did not say anything more, but the wariness in his eyes became even more obvious.

The burly man remained silent, simply continuing forward. His eyes revealed his approval of Jiang Chen, but he didn't express it. He knew that Ling Xuan's disdain for Jiang Chen would only get him into unnecessary trouble.

Ling Xuan persisted, "Captain, are you saying our Mountain and Sea Guild is afraid of him?"

The burly man shook his head again. "It's not fear, it's caution." He paused for a moment, then added, "Although our guild has considerable strength, we must also learn to keep a low profile in front of the strong."

Although Ling Xuan was unwilling, seeing the captain's serious expression, he didn't dare to say anything more. He knew that the captain was the most visionary person in the guild, and his decisions were usually correct.

The area several hundred meters in front of the instance was bathed in sunshine and gentle breezes, a stark contrast to the previous harsh weather. There was no snow, and the ground was clean and fresh, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. The oppressive force of the soul was still present, but here, it had become a power to temper the soul.

Over the years, countless professionals have come to challenge this dungeon, which has long become a gathering place for various forces. Major guilds and universities have their own camps, and even a large area is occupied by the military. The Tianshan Divine Palace dungeon is not only a challenge ground for professionals, but also one of the important bases for the military to train soldiers.

Jiang Chen headed straight for the dungeon entrance. He had previously borrowed several high-level cooldown amulets from Hong Jishi. Now, he possessed ten high-level cooldown amulets, enough for him to run the dungeon 500 times consecutively. This preparation was sufficient for him to rapidly increase his strength in a short period of time.

"Brother Jiang!" A hearty voice rang out, and Jiang Chen turned around to see Huo Jifeng. This member of the Blue Leaf Guild had passed the test and arrived here. His strength was considerable; his ability to reach this point at level 60 was already a testament to his skill.

Huo Jifeng ran up to Jiang Chen in a few steps. "Brother Jiang, what brings you here?" His tone was filled with surprise.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I'll run the dungeon."

Huo Jifeng laughed heartily upon hearing this, "What a coincidence! We're also going to run a dungeon, and there's one spot left in our team. I'll invite you." He readily invited Jiang Chen to join their team, treating Jiang Chen as if he were an outsider.

Then, Huo Jifeng added sincerely, "Brother Jiang, please don't misunderstand. I just want to invite you to come along, not to make you the boss. I naturally trust your abilities." Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "Thank you for your kindness, but I do intend to go solo."

Ling Xuan's laughter rang out again, sharp and grating, "Hahaha, what a joke! Who do you think you are? You actually said you'd solo the Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace dungeon? That's just bragging without any basis!"

Jiang Chen calmly turned to look at Ling Xuan, "You seem to have some misunderstanding about me."

Ling Xuan laughed even more unrestrainedly, "Misunderstanding? I think you've misunderstood your own strength! Young man, don't think you're invincible just because you've leveled up a few times. The Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace is not as simple as you imagine."

Huo Jifeng shouted again, "Ling Xuan, shut up!" His voice was cold and firm, full of unquestionable authority.

Ling Xuan trembled at the shout, but still glared at Huo Jifeng resentfully, "Who are you? What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

At this moment, Ling Xuan's captain made another move, grabbing his collar and dragging him backward. "You dare disobey Young Master Jifeng? Apologize now!"

Ling Xuan was lifted almost off the ground by the captain, and could only struggle and say unwillingly, "I'm sorry, Young Master Jifeng, I was blind."

The captain quickly apologized to Huo Jifeng, "Young Master Jifeng, I'm so sorry, I will discipline this guy properly." After saying that, he dragged Ling Xuan away from the scene.

Jiang Chen didn't take this little incident to heart. He glanced at Ling Xuan indifferently, then turned to Huo Jifeng, "Brother Huo, I do indeed intend to solo."

Huo Jifeng was now somewhat respectful. "Brother Jiang, are you really going to solo this? This... this is an extremely difficult dungeon."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Yes, I have my own plans."

Huo Jifeng took a deep breath. "I understand. If Brother Jiang needs anything, please feel free to contact me." Jiang Chen smiled slightly. "Thank you."

Just then, a familiar voice came, "Jiang Chen, you're here too." The voice was filled with surprise and anticipation.
