Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

At that moment, Jiang Chen left with Lin Yangze, heading deeper into the area.

Eleanor followed closely behind.

"Sir, weren't we going to the Cloud End Tavern?"

"No need anymore. I've found him. That guy, sneaking around like that, definitely has secrets. Be careful, everyone; his Perception is very strong."

The others nodded and continued to follow Eleanor.

As Jiang Chen and Lin Yangze moved forward, Jiang Chen whispered, "It's not just them. Granny Jinhua and that woman are also following behind."

"It's like the praying mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," Lin Yangze replied. "If you act, you'll easily expose your identity. The Heavenly Earth Association won't keep your secret, and besides, it's inconvenient for me to move against her."

"The Heavenly Earth Association still has its experts."

Lin Yangze made it clear: dealing with the Hero was one thing, but dealing with the Heavenly Earth Association was another. He had come here to retire, not to invite trouble.

Jiang Chen pondered. An idea is forming in my mind.

Jiang Chen said, "It looks like there's no need for you to take action."

Lin Yangze was startled but soon grasped Jiang Chen's idea. "Are you thinking of using Granny Jinhua?"

Jiang Chen nodded silently.

This woman is no pushover either. Since it has come to this, I can't blame myself.

It wasn't suitable for Jiang Chen to confront Eleanor directly, especially with members of the Heavenly Earth Association nearby. If they revealed anything, it would be very troublesome; even without evidence, suspicions would arise. It would be different if the Heavenly Earth Association made a move; there has always been a grudge between The Fallen and Heroes.

But how to use this to my advantage is the key.

"Master, leave for a while and wait for me at the ferry crossing. Once they try to escape, take action, and also do this…"

Lin Yangze smiled. "You sneaky kid, you truly are a crafty one."

After saying his piece, Lin Yangze turned and left.

Once Jiang Chen saw Lin Yangze depart, he finally felt at ease.

Jiang Chen quickly hurried forward, moving at a moderate pace. Seeing this, Eleanor merely followed. It was at that moment that Jiang Chen quickened his steps, weaving through the narrow alleys and using Flash in the Void to its extreme. He vanished after a few flickers, swiftly disappearing from Eleanor's sight.

Eleanor watched Jiang Chen flee, stunned. How can this kid be so fast?

As Eleanor stood there, puzzled, Jiang Chen, having changed his clothes, bellowed, "Chen Jinnan of the Heavenly Earth Association is here! Eleanor, how dare you intrude? Meet your death!"

The roar exploded throughout the entire black market.

At this point, the entire black market was dumbfounded.

Chen Jinnan? Who is this person? And who is Eleanor? people wondered.

A scream rang out. The person beside Eleanor instantly had an arm severed. Eleanor, shocked, saw her companion was wounded but couldn't see where the enemy was.

She bellowed, "Chen Jinnan, if you have the guts, show yourself!"

"Hmph, you damned Heroes! You can't even see where I am. You're utter fools! Elder Jinhua, attack now!" came the voice.

Granny Jinhua was shocked. What does this mean? Attack? Who the hell are you? Do I even know you?

"Elder Jinhua, if not now, then when? This person is Goddess Eleanor. We must kill her to show the Alliance of All-Gods the strength of our Heavenly Earth Association!"

Li Chanji's face turned pale. "This is bad! We've been set up by the Swordsman!"

By now, Granny Jinhua also realized what was happening: she had been framed.

A dagger rushed towards Eleanor. She easily deflected it and, looking towards where the dagger had come from, charged in that direction. She saw Granny Jinhua and her companion, whom she had seen earlier, and sneered, "So you are from the Heavenly Earth Association."

"There's been a misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding my ass! If it was a misunderstanding, why were you following me? Eleanor thought. "Take this!"

Without a second word, Eleanor gathered magic Energy in her hand, stretched out her right hand, and sent a Flame Light Pillar straight towards Granny Jinhua. Powerful magic sprayed forth.

Jinhua trembled with rage, having been used by the Swordsman. That damned Swordsman!

As the magic approached, Jinhua extended her right hand and caught the spell. This minor magic posed no harm to her.

Eleanor was shocked. To catch her magic with one hand, this person was undoubtedly an expert. She immediately called out to the powerhouses by her side, "This person is a top expert from the Heavenly Earth Association! Surround and kill her immediately!"

The others promptly drew their broad blades and nocked arrows, aiming at Granny Jinhua.

Before Granny Jinhua could explain, she was bombarded by relentless magical assaults.

Granny Jinhua was furious. This is too much! It's a trick by that Swordsman, and they won't even let me explain—they're all idiots!

Jinhua said, "Young Master, you should get out of here."

Eleanor looked at the young girl, her eyes lighting up.

Young Master? Is this person the Young Master of the Heavenly Earth Association? That's a big catch; I can't let her slip away!

Eleanor had no more thoughts of Jiang Chen. Why bother with Jiang Chen? Isn't capturing this Young Master a much better prize?

Eleanor bellowed, "People of the Wanderers' Alliance, I am Eleanor, Goddess of the Alliance of All-Gods! Follow me and capture the Young Master of the Heavenly Earth Association for great merit!"

Many heard the shout, but none stepped forward.

Mutterings rippled through the hidden onlookers.

What a joke! Does she even know where she is? This is the black market, a lawless zone! It wouldn't be surprising even if the Young Master of the Heavenly Earth Association, or even the Heavenly Earth Association Leader himself, showed up.

This woman is a complete fool, one thought.

She probably thinks she's still in the Xileruo World! another scoffed.

This place isn't part of the Xileruo World anymore. How did Goddess Eleanor get entangled with the Heavenly Earth Association?

Who knows? But it has nothing to do with us.

One particularly sinister thought emerged, The Holy Woman of the League of Heroes, Eleanor... heh heh... Killing her would be a significant merit.

We'll just wait until they're both badly weakened before we make our move.

Eleanor never imagined that her shout, far from summoning help, would attract the attention of high-ranking members from the Difiled Camp. After all, the black market was a haven for all sorts of characters.

Members of the League of Difiled Gods wouldn't usually act without knowing who they were up against, but once an identity was confirmed, it was a different story. An important figure exposed, like a young prince stranded in a foreign land, would undoubtedly be marked by enemies.

Some Corrupted Heroes nodded in agreement, hiding in the shadows, ready to capture Eleanor.

At this, Granny Jinhua grew even more annoyed. This woman must be crazy! Judging by their attacks, it's clear they won't leave anyone alive. Since that's the case, they can all die! Her killing intent surged.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, hidden in the shadows, carefully extended his Perception.

He was startled by what he sensed. Not only had more Heroes arrived, but members of the Difiled Camp were also lurking in the darkness.

Jiang Chen chuckled. This is getting quite big! It has far exceeded my expectations.

Jiang Chen's original plan had been to create a conflict that would compel Jinhua to act. If she didn't, he would have taken action himself, secretly killing one or two Heroes. But now, there was no need for Jiang Chen to lift a finger; Eleanor had already made her move. It was clear she had realized the young girl's identity and intended to capture her for a handsome reward.

Jiang Chen sneered. This woman is truly foolish. This is the black market, where everyone hides their identity. Her loud shouting not only failed to attract allies but has also drawn the attention of the Difiled Camp. You're eyeing the Young Master, but they're eyeing your status as a Goddess! The head of a Goddess is quite valuable to Corrupted Heroes.
