The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Have to Bow Down

Jing Yan followed the people of the Chu Family, and as soon as he entered the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp, his brow furrowed sharply.

Because he felt a wave of divine sense sweep over him. This was the divine sense of a Saint Realm Third Stage master. This divine sense apparently did not just scan Jing Yan but had probed everyone in the Chu Family group.

Moreover, this divine sense showed no attempt to conceal itself when it swept over Jing Yan and the others. The owner of this divine sense evidently wasn’t worried about being noticed by the Chu Family.

”Humph!” Jing Yan let out a light snort.

Using divine sense to probe other martial artists is extremely impolite. If there is a significant realm difference, it is better to ensure that the divine sense is used without the other party noticing. But such an obvious scan is likely to provoke a conflict.

Jing Yan could also guess that the owner of this divine sense should be a strong figure from the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp. The other party acted fearlessly, not concerned about offending the Chu Family.

Chu Xianlie’s eyebrows also moved, but he didn’t say a word. Being probed by someone else’s divine sense, he had to endure in silence.

”Commander Chu’s arrival, Lu apologizes for not coming out to greet you from afar, please forgive me.” At this moment, a voice came from the front, followed by an elderly man in a black robe appearing and walking towards the group from the Chu Family.

Jing Yan sensed that this person’s divine soul aura was still fluctuating, matching the divine sense from before. In other words, the one who used divine sense to probe the Chu Family earlier was this man who called himself Lu.

”Commander Lu, you’re too kind!” Chu Xianlie smiled, cupped his hands politely, and said to the other party.

”Jing Yan, this person is the commander of Netherworld Sect’s Battle Camp and one of the masters of the Netherworld Sect. He is a Saint Realm Third Stage powerhouse. In the Quicksand Divine Domain, he holds the greatest authority,” Chu Lianxing introduced the man to Jing Yan in a low voice.

Jing Yan nodded slightly.

”Chu Xianlie, long time no see.” Another voice sounded.

From the other direction, a group of people slowly walked out, led by a man in a white robe. Although a smile appeared on his face, his eyes flashed with a sinister and ruthless light.

”Bai Anshu, you arrived early.” Chu Xianlie squinted at the other party.

”This Bai Anshu is the commander of Jade Book Sect’s Battle Camp and one of the sect leaders of Jade Book Sect, with a cultivation level of the Second Grade in Saint Realm,” Chu Lianxing glanced at Bai Anshu and said to Jing Yan.

”I don’t have your airs, Chu Xianlie. Several days ago, our Jade Book Sect Battle Camp members had already arrived at Netherworld Sect,” Bai Anshu chuckled with a sarcastic tone.

”Commander Bai, that’s not quite right. We scheduled the date for the martial contest for tomorrow. Our arrival today is not at all late. Are you trying to smear the Chu Family?” A gleam of light flashed in Chu Xianlie’s eyes.

In front of the Netherworld Sect, Chu Xianlie lowered his stance. But towards the Jade Book Sect, Chu Xianlie would not allow the Chu Family name to be tarnished.

The Jade Book Sect is a Second Grade Force, and so is the Chu Family. The Jade Book Sect trying to impose on the Chu Family is dreaming.

Bai Anshu smiled, the coldness in his eyes growing more intense.

He looked at the commander of the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp, Lu Chen.

”Lord Commander, since the Chu Family has already arrived, why don’t we start the competition now?” Bai Anshu revealed a cunning smile.

Upon hearing Bai Anshu’s words, Chu Xianlie’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed tightly.

”Bai Anshu, aren’t you being too impatient? We agreed on the time for tomorrow! Since we’ve already agreed, why change it suddenly?” Chu Xianlie spoke before Lu Chen could reply.

The Chu Family just arrived, and although they rested on the warship along the way, the Jade Book Sect had evidently arrived several days earlier and was in a more relaxed state. If the competition started immediately, it would certainly be more advantageous to the Jade Book Sect.

Chu Xianlie also hoped that the three representatives of the Chu Family could rest and recuperate for a night to get into the best condition.

”Commander Chu, I think Commander Bai has a point. Since your people are already here, you can start the competition in advance. The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner you can be at ease, right? Whether the Chu Family or the Jade Book Sect gets the new mineral source, you can start mining a day earlier,” Lu Chen said with a squint.

”But...” Chu Xianlie still wanted to speak.

”Alright, Commander Chu, let’s settle it this way!” Lu Chen waved his hand, cutting off Chu Xianlie.

Jing Yan, standing at the back of the Chu Family group, also frowned slightly.

”This Commander Lu, does he have some secret collusion with the Jade Book Sect?” Jing Yan could naturally tell that the commander of the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp was biased toward the Jade Book Sect.

The agreed date was tomorrow, yet the time was suddenly changed without even consulting Chu Xianlie, the Chu Family Commander.

This clearly showed Commander Lu Chen’s domineering nature and his preference for the Jade Book Sect.

”Who in the Quicksand Divine Domain doesn’t know the good relationship between the Netherworld Sect and the Jade Book Sect? Nowadays, the Jade Book Sect is nothing but a dog for the Netherworld Sect. The Netherworld Sect orders it to bite whoever they choose,” Fang Ruoyu sneered disdainfully.

”Since the Jade Book Sect and the Netherworld Sect have such a relationship, why doesn’t the Netherworld Sect just hand over the new mineral source to the Jade Book Sect?” Jing Yan asked, raising an eyebrow.

”That new mineral source was first discovered by the Chu Family. According to the rules of the gathering place, whoever discovers a new mineral source first gets the mining rights. The Netherworld Sect will take fifty percent of the mined resources. Although the Netherworld Sect would like to directly give the new mineral source to the Jade Book Sect, they still need to maintain a certain level of fairness on the surface to avoid criticism and dissatisfaction from other forces,” Chu Lianxing explained.

”Understood! The Netherworld Sect wants to play both sides.” Jing Yan nodded with a smile.

The new mineral source was indeed discovered first by the Chu Family. However, before the Chu Family could take control of the source, the Jade Book Sect got the news and tangled with the Chu Family. At that point, the Netherworld Sect intervened, suggesting that the two forces compete in a martial contest for the mining rights.

In fact, if the Netherworld Sect was truly impartial, the mining rights should go directly to the Chu Family, as they discovered the source first. By having the Chu Family and the Jade Book Sect compete, they were already showing strong favoritism towards the Jade Book Sect.

Everyone arrived at an open plaza nearby.

”Commander Chu, Commander Bai, let’s start the martial contest now!”

”According to the rules previously set, each side will send out three non-Saint Realm martial artists. The best of three wins, and the winning side will get the mining rights to the new mineral source,” Lu Chen squinted his eyes as he spoke to Chu Xianlie and Bai Anshu.

”At Lord Commander’s arrangements,” Bai Anshu immediately said with a smile.

Although Chu Xianlie was dissatisfied with changing the date of the martial contest, he had no other options given the circumstances and could only nod.
