Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2643: The Fate of Traitors (One)

The young star lord was the only person who did not flee. The reason why he did not flee was not because he was the foster son of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord and was confident that no one would harm him given his identity.

The reason was that he had been stunned by the sudden reversal. For a moment, he could only hover there blankly. He stared at the corpses of the three Chaotic Primes as they fell from the sky and failed to return to his senses.

It was not because he could not accept all this. It had just happened far too quickly.

All the formations of the Tian Yuan clan had fallen. Destroying the clan was only a matter of a few seconds, so the young star lord could already see victory. He had already been ready to see the destruction of the Tian Yuan clan and was thinking about the best way to capture Shangguan Mu’er alive. As a matter of fact, he was thinking about how he should ravage Shangguan Mu’er.

However, he had never thought that in just a few seconds, the three Chaotic Primes he brought would all die, and all the cultivators who attacked the Tian Yuan clan would flee for their lives. The Tian Yuan clan that should have been destroyed already actually managed to make a turnaround with a crushing advantage.

At that moment, he became all alone.

All this happened in an extremely short amount of time. He had fallen from heaven to hell. It was impossible for the young star lord to not be heavily impacted.

“How did this happen?” the young star lord murmured to himself. At that moment, he felt like he was dreaming, as if everything that had happened before him was not reality.

But soon afterwards, he noticed Jian Chen, who descended from the sky and vanished into the Tian Yuan clan. He regained some confidence. As a matter of fact, some excitement and eagerness flashed through his eyes.

“Jian Chen, you’ve finally appeared. You’ve finally appeared before me. Although the people I brought retreated in defeat, the outcome earlier is no longer important as long as you’ve appeared,” the young star lord murmured to himself. He suddenly became rather excited the moment he saw Jian Chen. At the same time, he carefully hid the Lifebound Plume the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance had given him.

“Mu’er, are you fine?” Within the Tian Yuan clan, Jian Chen arrived before Shangguan Mu’er as quickly as he could. As he looked at her pale face and the blood at the corner of her lips, his heart immediately ached. He felt ashamed as well.

He had brought Shangguan Mu’er back from the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound to give her a happy, easy environment to cultivate in that far surpassed the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. However, he had never thought that he would have almost doomed her instead.

“Jian Chen, I’m fine. It’s only some small wounds. Go check on Nubis. His wounds are far more severe than mine,” said Shangguan Mu’er. She smiled as if a burden had been lifted from her.

Shangguan Mu’er did not know whether the Martial Soul lineage could stop experts like Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Yuigi, as Jian Chen was in outer space earlier. As a result, she was very worried about his safety. Now that he had appeared before her unscathed, she could finally stop worrying.

Jian Chen carefully examined Shangguan Mu’er’s wounds. After discovering that they were not particularly severe, he felt slightly better. Afterwards, he personally fed a God Tier pill to her before immediately making his way over to Nubis.

Jian Chen’s face immediately became extremely sunken with what he saw. Nubis’ wounds were far worse than he had imagined. Nubis was basically hanging on by a thread. He had a foot in the jaws of death already.

Jian Chen fed Nubis the best pills that he had. He stood beside Nubis as he slowly looked around. When he saw the annihilated provincial city beyond the Tian Yuan clan, killing intent immediately erupted from the bottom of his heart like a volcano.

“Young star lord!” Jian Chen stressed each syllable. At that moment, his killing intent towards the young star lord had already reached a point of no return.

“I’ve come for my punishment!” At this moment, the only surviving ancestral emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire arrived in the Tian Yuan clan. His eyes were hollow and filled with death as he stared at Jian Chen. Afterwards, he lowered his head before everyone in the Tian Yuan clan, discarding his pride as a Primordial realm expert as he slowly knelt down.

He was not kneeling away his personal pride, but the pride of the Heavenly Moon Empire as well.

That was because he was the ancestral emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire, the only remaining ancestor of the empire.

Although a large number of people had already run off to hunt down the people who had fled, a portion of them still remained behind. Currently, all the members of the upper echelon, the guards, the servants, and so on stared at the old man who knelt down before Jian Chen in shock. It was completely silent.

To all proud people, making them kneel was even more difficult than killing them, not to mention that the person currently kneeling was an ancestral emperor of the Heavenly Moon Empire. He was a supreme existence who possessed the power to decide their fates with a single word before the Tian Yuan clan had even been founded.

At that moment, the ancestral emperor of an ancient empire, someone who possessed insurmountable status, had just knelt right before them. This astounded all the members of the Tian Yuan clan.

As the patriarch of the Mo clan in the past and the current emperor of the Pingtian Empire, Mo Xingfeng stared at the ancestral emperor with mixed feelings from within the crowd. Several dozen years ago, he was still the measly patriarch of the Mo clan. Their strongest ancestor was only a God, while the Heavenly Moon Empire was like the ultimate ruler of the land he lived on, possessing boundless territory. The Primordial realm ancestors of the Heavenly Moon Empire were existences he could not imagine.

In less than a century, the ancestral emperor that Mo Xingfeng once believed to be insurmountable just knelt there like that. He felt amazed, unable to calm down for quite some time.

“Patriarch, I know my crimes. Everything is solely my fault. I’m willing to become a slave to make up for this mistake. I hope the patriarch can spare the Heavenly Moon Empire,” the ancestral emperor said submissively.

“Do you think becoming a slave can make up for the betrayal of the Heavenly Moon Empire?” Jian Chen did not waver. He stared at the ancestor of the Heavenly Moon Empire coldly as his eyes brimmed with killing intent.

“If my measly strength does not interest the patriarch, I am willing to die for the sake of the crime. I only hope the patriarch can be merciful and give our Heavenly Moon Empire a chance to redeem ourselves,” continued the ancestor of the Heavenly Moon Empire. He had completely accepted death, feeling no fear towards it at all. The one thing he could not stop worrying about was the Heavenly Moon Empire.

He was not afraid of death. Whether it be the Heavenly Moon Empire’s betrayal earlier or him kneeling down now, it was all for the sake of the empire’s survival.

However, he had misjudged the situation and personally pushed the Heavenly Moon Empire towards destruction.
