Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3312: The Divine Palace of Grand Heaven

Jian Chen levitated in the air in the same seated posture. His large robes covered his petrified legs as he said to the Sword Emperor calmly, “You have nothing to worry about. Since I promised you before, I obviously won’t go back on my word. You only have to manage the matters within the range of your Sword Emperor city’s influence. I’ll deal with all external threats.”

“I will ensure that your Sword Emperor city remains completely uninvolved with the chaos in the Peace region.”

“Then thank you for this, fellow.” The Sword Emperor bowed solemnly.

“Oh right, has there been any news regarding the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King?” Jian Chen asked suddenly.

The Sword Emperor shook his head. A strange light flashed through his eyes. “Ever since the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King left Sword Emperor city, he hasn’t appeared in the Peace region again. It’s as if he’s vanished altogether.”

“Otherwise, if the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King was free to move about in the Peace region, probably all nine imperial cities would have yielded to the Scarlet Blood Domain already.”

“After all, not yielding would mean death.”

Towards the end, the Sword Emperor was rather speechless too. Right when they were prepared to yield to the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King, he never imagined him to suddenly vanish after entering Sword Emperor city, which was the only reason why they made a different choice.

Jian Chen said nothing. Everything was as he had expected. The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King’s ancestral imprint had ended up in his hands. Without it, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King could no longer be regarded as a heavenly king. Not only did his strength plummet, but he was even heavily injured, so he obviously had to spend some time away from view.

The Sword Emperor continued, “The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King hasn’t appeared again, but the experts from the Jade Centre Domain and the Grand Heaven Domain are constantly guarding against him, so they’re incapable of using their full strength when they clash with the experts of the Scarlet Blood Domain. They need to conserve a majority of their strength for the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King who could potentially be lurking around.”

“Otherwise, the Grand Heaven Domain and the Jade Centre Domain would have chased the people from the Scarlet Blood Domain out of the Peace region a long time ago with them working together.”

Jian Chen listened along quietly. He remained unfazed and at ease the entire time as if even if the world ended right now, it would not be able to disturb him.

But at this moment, Jian Chen’s expression changed as he gazed out of Sword Emperor city.

Before long, several powerful presences rapidly approached Sword Emperor city from afar.

In the end, they barged into Sword Emperor city without concealing their presences at all, creating a great disturbance. They hovered above the Sword Emperor’s estate.

There were a total of five of them. They were all above the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime, where the strongest had already reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

Strength like that was completely beyond the Sword Emperor’s.

“I am an elder of the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven. Sword Emperor, meet with me immediately,” the Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime bellowed out, his voice rolling out like thunder. The great sound waves made many of the structures in the city sway about as their walls became covered with cracks.

When they heard the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven, countless cultivators in Sword Emperor city were startled. The Divine Palace of Grand Heaven was the peak organisation that governed the entire Grand Heaven Domain. The Heaven Fighting Ruler was their palace master.

The Sword Emperor appeared sternly. He clasped his fist. “I am Jian Feng. Greetings, fellows of the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven.”

“Sword Emperor, why do you not answer our call and fend off the people of the Scarlet Blood Domain with us? Don’t tell me your Sword Emperor city has also joined the Scarlet Blood Domain’s side?” The Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime old man stared at the Sword Emperor coldly and spoke with hostility.

“You’ve misunderstood. Our Sword Emperor city has not joined the Scarlet Blood Domain,” said the Sword Emperor.

“Since you haven’t joined the Scarlet Blood Domain, your Sword Emperor city needs to immediately send troops against the Scarlet Blood Domain. All the Infinite Primes within your Sword Emperor city’s range of influence must be mobilised too,” said the Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, demanding coldly.

Normally, an organisation like Sword Emperor city obviously would not be enough to catch the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven’s attention, but given the special circumstances, they suffered from a vacuum in strength. After all, their ruler was not present, and many of their experts had followed their ruler to the demonic island out at sea.

Without the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King, the remaining forces left behind by the three rulers were approximately the same, but the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King on the Scarlet Blood Domain’s side had immediately destroyed the balance between the three of them.

The Wood Spirits World had eight other heavenly kings, but the eight heavenly kings belonged to none of the rulers. All of them remained neutral, refusing to become involved in the conflict between the three rulers.

As a result, they could not mobilise any of the eight other heavenly kings.

“Our Sword Emperor city has no plans to participate in the conflict this time, so please forgive us.” The Sword Emperor clasped his fist.

When he heard that, the old man from the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven’s face immediately sank. He said coldly, “The Peace region is in chaos. None of the nine imperial cities can remain uninvolved in this. Sword Emperor, only two paths are available before you. The first is joining our Jade Centre Domain and Grand Heaven Domain against the Scarlet Blood Domain.”

“The second is you joining the Scarlet Blood Domain.” Reaching there, the old man’s eyes shone with cold killing intent. “However, I must make it clear to you that if you join the Scarlet Blood Domain, I’ll destroy your city right now.”

When he heard that, the Sword Emperor’s expression changed slightly. He glanced in a different direction and clasped his fist. “Fellow Jian Chen!”

As soon as the Sword Emperor said that, the surrounding space immediately began to change. As the power of space slowly spread, the experts from the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven all vanished.

The Sword Emperor vanished with them too.

Immediately, the Primordial realm experts hovering above Sword Emperor city all vanished.

In the courtyard owned by the Xia Merchant Union, Jian Chen sat on the stone seat in the pavilion with his legs crossed. In front of him, the Primordial realm experts from the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven stood with ugly expressions.

The Sword Emperor was also present in the pavilion.

All of them had been forcibly shifted over here by Laws of Space that were too powerful to resist.

Before the Laws of Space, even the old man with the cultivation of an Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime could not offer up any resistance.

“Sir, who are you?” The old man stared at Jian Chen with a sunken expression. His eyes were filled with great caution and shock.

That was because right now, all of the experts from the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven had been trapped by a power of space that they could not resist. They were completely immobilised.

The person who managed that definitely was not some ordinary Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. It was extremely likely for the person before them to be on par with heavenly kings!

“I am Jian Chen! I have a proposal for you fellows from the Divine Palace of Grand Heaven. Don’t interfere with what Sword Emperor city does, as I’ve promised the Sword Emperor that I’ll ensure that Sword Emperor city will emerge from this storm unscathed.” Jian Chen smiled. He said it was a proposal, but he did not give them any chance to strike a compromise. He was essentially ordering them.

“The Peace region is in chaos right now. All of the rules have been broken. No organisation can distance themselves from this. Fellow, your actions will offend rulers. Once the rulers are displeased, even someone on par with heavenly kings like you will face a horrible fate,” the old man said.

“That’s a matter of the future. Let’s deal with matters of the future in the future. Let’s focus on the present for now.” Jian Chen looked at the Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime and smiled gently. “Right now, the thing that troubles your Jade Centre Domain and Grand Heaven Domain the most is the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King without a doubt. Why don’t we make a deal?”

“If the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King interferes, I’ll be responsible for holding him at bay, so you can focus on dealing with the Scarlet Blood Domain without any distractions.”

When they heard that, the Primordial realm experts narrowed their eyes. The old man said, “And what do you want from us?”

“I want all of the Lifesoul Flowers from your Grand Heaven Domain and Jade Centre Domain!”
