The senses of Jian Chen’s soul spread out and imdiately reached millions of kilotres away. Imdiately, over a dozen cities of various sizes appeared in the range of his senses.
Among them, two cities were particularly large. They both had more than one Primordial realm expert.
One of the two cities was White Emperor city.
The second city was Sword Emperor city.
Apart from those two cities that possessed a certain level of scale and prosperity, the remaining cities seed more like towns. Their strongest experts were only Godkings, and there were very few of them too.
As his soul had yet to heal completely, Jian Chen did not dare to use the senses of his soul for too long. He withdrew it very soon and thought, “White Emperor city should be where Bai Yurou’s clan is located, but it’s quite far from where I am.”
“Sword Emperor city is instead closer to .”
Jian Chen did not make his way towards White Emperor city. He adjusted his direction and rode straight for Sword Emperor city with the Saint Emperor spiritual beast under him.
In a lower world like the Tian Yuan Continent, Saint Emperors were capable of ripping open space freely and constructing Spatial Gates to travel.
The space in the Wood Spirits World was not on par with higher worlds, but it was still much stronger than lower worlds. As such, despite the Saint Emperor strength of the spiritual beast under Jian Chen, it could only race along the ground at a very high speed.
Jian Chen was not in a hurry either. He sat on the spiritual beast’s back with his eyes shut and approached Sword Emperor city at a speed that was virtually no different from a snail’s crawl to him.
The Wood Spirits World was not entirely peaceful. There were also various kinds of dangers in the wilderness, not just the threat from various spiritual beasts, but also groups of Wood Spirits that robbed and killed weaker cultivators.
Along the way, Jian Chen obviously could not avoid these obstructions, but he resolved them all easily.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed already. The spiritual beast had only covered half of the journey in that ti.
At this mont, the space nearby suddenly split open, and an old man in black fell out. He was covered in blood with many frightening wounds on his body. His face was pale-white, clearly extrely heavily injured.
As soon as he appeared, blood sprayed from his mouth uncontrollably. Each mouthful of blood he produced was filled with pieces of his organs. He did not dare to remain there for a second longer, flying off into the distance like he was fleeing for his life.
“Hahaha, union leader Xia, you’ve already reached the end of your rope. You can’t escape today.” At this mont, a powerful voice rang out. Two middle-aged n appeared, radiating with surging presences. They struck out at the sa ti. One of them condensed a jade-green sword from the power of laws, while the other conjured a towering tree from the power of laws. With great pulses of energy, they slamd their attacks into the old man in black up ahead.
Spurt! Blood filled the air. The old man was smashed right into the ground, leaving behind a huge pit.
The old man was only a hundred tres away from Jian Chen, which imdiately frightened the spiritual beast into trembling. It directly fell on the ground limply and lost control over its bowels and bladder.
Whether it was the old man in black or the two middle-aged n chasing him, they were all Infinite Pris, far, far more powerful than the group of Godkings it had encountered earlier.
Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly on the back of the spiritual beast, gazing at the three of them calmly.
At this mont, the old man stood up while coughing up blood, staring at the two middle-aged n resentfully. He ground his teeth. “Do you think you can successfully swallow the Xia rchant Union just by killing ? Hmph, I’ve anticipated your Xiong family and Zhan family’s ambitions a long ti ago and made arrangents exactly for this. Even if you kill , my Xia rchant Union won’t let your clans have it easy. You’ll definitely suffer trendous losses.”
“Hahahaha, Xia Jianming, you don’t need to worry about the matter of swallowing the Xia rchant Union. Once you’re dead, our Zhan family and Xiong family will obviously possess plenty of thods and strategies to take over everything your rchant union possesses.” The middle-aged man from the Zhan family sneered before glancing at Jian Chen nearby and imdiately furrowing his brows.
“The adults are talking and a brat like you wants to eavesdrop? You’re asking to die.” The Primordial realm expert from the Zhan family snorted coldly and extended a finger. A beam of power of laws imdiately turned into a streak of light and shot towards Jian Chen’s forehead.
Afterwards, he did not even look at Jian Chen again. His eyes were fixed on Xia Jianming, approaching him step by step.
Jian Chen did not even try to dodge. The attack from the Primordial realm expert of the Zhan family struck his forehead with lightning speed, but it failed to injure him at all.
His attack as an Infinite Pri had actually failed to even leave a scratch.
“Hmm?” The Primordial realm expert from the Zhan family quickly realised that sothing was amiss. He stopped and subconsciously turned towards Jian Chen, except when he saw how Jian Chen sat on the back of the spiritual beast, the sa as before without any wounds, his eyes imdiately narrowed.
The Infinite Pri from the Xiong family also looked at Jian Chen, staring straight at his unscathed forehead. He beca stern and asked solemnly, “Sir, who may you be?”
As he said that, the Primordial realm expert of the Xiong family studied the spiritual beast under Jian Chen, but it made him wonder. He was unable to tell what Jian Chen’s strength was, but according to the quality of Jian Chen’s mount, he jumped to the conclusion that he was a weak cultivator.
After all, only Origin realm juniors would normally use Saint Emperor spiritual beasts as mounts.
Jian Chen ignored the Infinite Pris from the Xiong family and the Zhan family. He looked at the old man in black and asked, “You’re called Xia Jianming? You’re in control of a rchant union?”
Xia Jianming coughed up so blood and clasped his fist towards Jian Chen. He said weakly, “I am Xia Jianming, the leader of the Xia rchant Union. May I ask who you are?”
“Who I am is not important. What is important is I’m giving you a chance right now, a chance for you to survive.” Jian Chen stared at Xia Jianming in interest and said seriously, “Pledge yourself to !”
Xia Jianming’s expression imdiately changed. He stared at Jian Chen slightly coldly and sneered. “Pledge myself to you? Sir, are you really capable enough for a Primordial realm expert to pledge himself to you?”
“If pledging myself to soone is the only way for to survive today, I might as well just pledge myself to the Zhan family and the Xiong family. Why would I bother with soone I don’t even know?”
“If you pledge yourself to them, they’ll only annex you. If you pledge yourself to , I will only make you serve for a thousand years. During that millennium, you will still be the union leader of the Xia rchant Union. I won’t interfere with anything regarding your rchant union. After those thousand years, you’re free to leave.”
“As for whether I possess that right, soone of your strength doesn’t normally interest .”
“You will spend a thousand years in exchange for your life today, as well as a thousand years of peace. How you choose is for you to consider.”
Jian Chen spoke indifferently, without demonstrating much enthusiasm. Telling Xia Jianming to pledge himself to him was only an idea he had co up with on a whim.
