Chaotic Sword God

Despair began to fill Tian Shuang. She felt completely powerless.

In the past, when Xing’er and Lan’er were engaged to the two young masters of great status from the Godsfallen clan, the Godsfallen clan had become what the Xuandao Empire depended on the most.

As a result, when the Xuandao Empire faced a crisis, Tian Shuang only thought of the Godsfallen clan. She was eager to see the Godsfallen clan stand up for the Xuandao Empire and avenge their two ancestors and save Xing’er and Lan’er.

However, she had never expected that the Godsfallen clan would cower, even proactively annulling Xing’er and Lan’er’s engagements.

Tian Shuang knew what this all meant with her cleverness.

This meant that the old man who had killed the two ancestors and kidnapped the two princesses had a background so great that even the Godsfallen clan was reluctant to provoke.

At that moment, Tian Shuang became utterly dejected. She saw no hope in getting revenge anymore.

“Tian Shuang, don’t panic for now. Just wait here. I’ll go ask the great elder what this is all about.” Luo Feiye liked Tian Shuang, so he did not want to see her heartbroken. He immediately comforted her before returning to the Godsfallen clan to find great elder Luo Heping.

“It’s the ancestor’s order. Feiye, go back. Don’t interfere with the matter of the Xuandao Empire. I don’t think this matter is as simple as it seems. Don’t burden the entire clan just because of what you want.” Luo Heping sat on a pillow as he spoke slowly and powerfully. He gazed into the distance with his deep eyes, as if he could see Mu Lin travelling to the southern region with a single glance. Mixed emotions appeared in his eyes.

The heart of Luo Feiye, who wholeheartedly wanted to help Tian Shuang before, immediately sank from that.

The ancestor had personally spoken on the matter. He knew that there was no chance of reverting the decision anymore.

The ancestor of the Godsfallen clan was the only Grand Prime in the clan. His will represented the entire Godsfallen clan. No one could defy him.

“Sorry Tian Shuang. I can’t help you.” Luo Feiye returned outside with a heavy heart. He was also filled with powerlessness.

Tian Shuang said nothing. She turned around and left. She had quite a bleak figure.

The imperial palace of the Xuandao Empire had been destroyed, reduced to ruins. The two ancestors were dead, and the two princesses had been abducted, yet there was nothing she could do as one of the ancestors of the Xuanfao Empire.

For the first time ever, Tian Shuang felt helpless. So what if she was a Primordial realm expert?

Suddenly, Tian Shuang seemed to think of something. She suddenly looked into the distance, and a final sliver of hope lit up in her despaired eyes.

In the next moment, she took out the white, jade disc and activated it. Power swelled forth, and the map of the entire Cloud Plane was conjured up once again.

Tian Shuang pointed at one of the five regions of the Cloud Plane. The teleportation formation was immediately activated, taking her away with a flash of white light.

She had pointed at the southern region of the Cloud Plane where the Pingtian Empire stood.

…

Within Jian Chen’s luxurious residence in the Tian Yuan clan.

“Brother Jian Chen, the matters are urgent, so I must return. Thank you for receiving me.” Tong Tian stood up and immediately bid farewell to Jian Chen. He needed to report what he learnt from Jian Chen to his ancestor immediately so that the Righteous Alliance could decide what they would do.

Jian Chen did not urge him to stay. Her personally accompanied Tong Tian to the entrance of the Tian Yuan clan and watched him set off with Qin Zheng.

Jian Chen returned to his residence after Tong Tian left. He did not cultivate. Instead, he sat on his jade bed with his eyes closed, pondering just how he could handle the young star lord’s retaliation.

He had a basic understanding of the young star lord’s temperament now. He knew that the young star lord would not stop with just a single failure.

If the young star lord only used the power of the Four Symbols Alliance, Jian Chen had nothing to worry about. He was afraid that the young star lord would call for experts from the Star Brilliance Plane. That would make things truly troublesome.

“Hmm? What a powerful pulse of space?” Suddenly, Jian Chen’s expression changed, and he gazed into the distance.

With his comprehension of the Laws of Space, any pulse in space within the Pingtian Empire, no matter how small it was, would be unable to escape from his senses.

“It’s actually senior Tian Shuang from the Xuandao Empire.” Jian Chen immediately expanded the senses of his soul and easily recognised the person who had come.

However, when he saw how bloodied Tian Shuang was, his face immediately changed slightly. A vicious light flashed through his eyes.

He did not have any particular ties with Tian Shuang, nor did he have any deep ties with the Xuandao Empire of the northern region. However, Tian Shuang was fairy Hao Yue’s sister.

Back when he fell into the hands of the commander of the seventh army from the Empyrean Demon Cult, Yaxi Lian, it was all because of Tian Shuang’s Disc of Heavenly Ways that fairy Hao Yue managed to make it in time and save him.

Now, Tian Shuang had come straight to the Tian Yuan clan as soon as she arrived in the Pingtian Empire, without even cleaning up her bloody mess.

“Please pass on the message that Tian Shuang of the Xuandao Empire seeks the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan for an urgent matter,” very soon, Tian Shuang arrived at the entrance of the Tian Yuan clan and said to a guard.

The guards, who watched over the entrance of the Tian Yuan clan, studied Tian Shuang. They seemed rather judgemental and scornful.

Across the years, countless large clans and organisations had paid visits to the Tian Yuan clan. There were many envoys from the Four Symbols Alliance and Righteous Alliance among them as well. All of them had come with pure respect and admiration, unwilling to act haughtily at all. As a result, the guards who watched over the main entrance gradually developed a sense of superiority. At the same time, they gained a detailed understanding of all the organisations on the Cloud Plane.

The guards just happened to have heard of the Xuandao Empire of the northern region before. They were only an ancient empire, so the guard really did not take them seriously. Now, someone from the empire wanted to see the patriarch. Did they really think they were someone relevant?

The guards at the entrance sneered. Just when they were about to say something, a voice rang out from within the Tian Yuan clan.

“Senior Tian Shuang, please come in.”

With that, Jian Chen walked out.

“Greetings to the patriarch!” The expressions of the guards stationed at the entrance immediately changed when they saw him. They kneeled in greeting, and the people who were scoffing broke out into a cold sweat out of fright.

“Jian Chen, I’ve finally managed to meet you.” When she saw Jian Chen, it was as if Tian Shuang saw her final glimmer of hope.

Jian Chen studied Tian Shuang. He could tell with a single glance that she was heavily injured. However, as they were at the entrance, they could not really talk. “Senior Tian Shuang, come in and talk.”

“Jian Chen, can you save Xing’er and Lan’er? Across the entire Cloud Plane, there’s probably no one who can save the two of them aside from you,” Tian Shuang said frantically as soon as she entered a guest room.

She knew Jian Chen would not care about the deaths of the other ancestors of the Xuandao Empire, so she could only mention Xing’er and Lan’er.

This was because in the past, Jian Chen did have his own encounter with the two princesses in the Xuandao Empire when he was still weak.

“Senior Tian Shuang, what happened?” Jian Chen asked. He was in the southern region. The senses of his soul could not reach the northern region, so he had no idea what the Xuandao Empire had just experienced.
