Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2527: Settling Debts

“Have you completely investigated the Golden-striped Silver Snake’s strength?” Jian Chen asked.

“I have. He’s a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, and he has only broken through recently. With protector Xue’s cultivation as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, it won’t be a problem at all,” said Nubis. He was only a late Godking right now, so he could only seek reinforcements to deal with a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.

“Alright then. Protector Xue, please come over.” Jian Chen stopped worrying. He called for protector Xue. His voice passed through the layers of formations and rang out in the courtyard where protector Xue stayed.

Protector Xue was currently sitting beside a pool of water. He was in pure white robes as he stared at the golden turtle that swam around aimlessly in the pool.

Protector Xue had personally cast down formations to envelop the pool of water, isolating it from all senses of the soul.

At this moment, Jian Chen’s voice rang out.

Protector Xue did not hesitate at all after hearing Jian Chen’s beckoning. He immediately stood up and left. He passed through the various structures and arrived before Jian Chen with a few flashes.

“Greetings, patriarch!” Protector Xue clasped his fist towards Jian Chen, giving him the respect he deserved.

Jian Chen had completely consolidated his prestige in the clan. None of the Primordial realm protectors of the clan dared to take him lightly anymore. They truly accepted him as the patriarch of the clan.

Every single order from him represented the clan. No one dared to question him anymore.

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Jian Chen remained approachable. He did not act haughtily as the patriarch of the clan. He waved his hand for protector Xue to stand up straight before saying, “Protector Xue, accompany Nubis to the Delight Plane. Nubis will explain the exact details to you.”

“Since the patriarch has spoken, I will naturally abide,” said protector Xue.

Afterwards, protector Xue returned to his residence. He carefully stowed the golden turtle in the pool into a divine hall before leaving the Tian Yuan clan with Nubis. They headed straight to the Delight Plane.

“It’s just a pity that the vice-leader of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Huai An, has gone missing. I don’t know where he is,” Jian Chen thought about Huai An, who had forced him off the plane in the past. Jian Chen experienced a sense of pity after Nubis’ departure.

He had already used the power of the clan to investigate Huai An’s whereabouts, but to his pity, Huai An had left the Cloud Plane after the Tian Empire was destroyed.

The Saints’ World was so vast. They had a total of forty-nine great planes and eighty-one great planets. Finding a single person was more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.

Jian Chen had drawn up Huai An for Hei Ya to look at in the past, but Hei Ya did not memorise the appearance of a person with his innate ability, but the soul, presence, and some special features of their lives. As a result, Hei Ya could do nothing from just an image.

“It’s time for me to go to the Heavenly Moon Empire. Hei Ya, come with me!” Jian Chen’s eyes deepened. He thought about how he had been ambushed during the war between the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian and the Empyrean Demon Cult again.

He was not powerful enough back then, but it was time for him to settle some debts now that he was.

The news that the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan wanted to go to the Heavenly Moon Empire reached the ears of the protectors very soon. They had heard about his grievances with the peak sects in the Heavenly Moon Empire to a certain degree, so they immediately connected the matter to Jian Chen settling his debts. As a result, they all emerged from seclusion and asked Jian Chen for orders in an attempt to accrue merit. They were willing to go along with him.

After all, the resources and various legacies of the Tian Yuan clan were all in Jian Chen’s hands.

“Patriarch, it’ll be a rather boring journey for you, so why don’t you let me come with you? I can divert the patriarch from boredom along the way.” The enchanting protector Mei walked over gently and winked at Jian Chen flirtatiously. She was extremely charming.

“Patriarch, we are willing to come along and handle any miscellaneous matters for the patriarch...”

The other protectors all asked for orders.

“There’s no need. Just stay in the clan. I only need Hei Ya to come with me,” Jian Chen said, turning down all the protectors’ offers. He left the Tian Yuan clan with Hei Ya.

Shangguan Mu’er remained in the Tian Yuan clan to cultivate. Jian Chen left the Watercloud Hall behind and left the fortune jade in there to assist Shangguan Mu’er’s cultivation.

Along the way, Jian Chen stopped when he passed the Swordseeking province.

The Swordseeking province was originally the leading province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. Not only was Ling Hougong of the Swordseeking province a contributor to the founding of the kingdom, but he also had close ties with Jian Chen.

As he looked at the Swordseeking province below him, memories flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. Afterwards, he descended and went to visit the Ling family there.

Jian Chen’s personal visit shook up the entire Ling family. The patriarch of the Ling family, Ling Mojian, immediately led a group of important members of the clan to receive him. They were taken aback and extremely polite.

Jian Chen and Hei Ya were invited into a hall by the people of the Ling family, and they even offered Jian Chen the highest seat. However, Jian Chen declined and just sat down anywhere.

The patriarch of the Ling family did not dare to take the highest seat now that Jian Chen sat where he did. Instead, he sat down cautiously beside Jian Chen, while the important members of the clan stood behind him.

“Ling Hougong still hasn’t returned?” Jian Chen asked Ling Mojian.

Ling Mojian shook his head and replied carefully, “The ancestor still hasn’t returned. Moreover, we completely lost contact with him thirty years ago. We don’t know what his current situation is like.”

Jian Chen sank into his thoughts. He did not know a lot of people in the Saints’ World, but Ling Hougong was one of them.

“Take this medallion. If your Ling family encounters any problems you can’t deal with, go to the Tian Yuan clan with this medallion.” Jian Chen did not remain for long. He left behind a medallion as a proof of identity before leaving with Hei Ya.

Ling Mojian accepted the medallion with trembling hands. As if he had just obtained a great piece of treasure, he was utterly overjoyed. He thanked Jian Chen in a hurry. The high-ranking members of the clan were in joyous spirit as well.

With the Tian Yuan clan’s current status and strength, they deeply understood the value of the medallion.

The Heavenly Moon Empire was the ancient empire closest to the Pingtian Empire. They possessed a long history, having existed for over a million years now. Even among all the ancient empires in the southern region, they were powerful enough to occupy third place.

The Heavenly Moon Empire possessed a total of five Infinite Primes. The Earth Spirit sect and the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds possessed one each, while the remaining three belonged to the imperial family. They were the two ancestral emperors who had abdicated already and a Grand Imperial Protector.

On this day, soldiers stood unmoving like statues on the walls of a fortress near the boundary, as if they were prepared for anything. They silently protected the peace there.

There was a hubbub near the gateway of the fortress. Cultivators and merchants flowed in and out. Luxurious carriages would fly past, kicking up long streaks of dust.

At this moment, there was a flash of resplendent light above the fortress, just like a meteorite. It shot brightly across the sky with unbelievable speed, leaving behind a beautiful white streak. It vanished into the horizon in an instant.

Many people failed to even react to it. The streak of light had already travelled very far away before they could even look at the sky.

“What speed! T- that’s definitely a Primordial realm expert!” An old general in armor stood in a tower within the fortress. He gave off the presence of a Godking as he stared at the sky with eagerness and envy.

This was a desire for the Primordial realm.
