It was not just Bai Yurou. Even Chu Tianxing and the other Godkings who participated in the attack against the Earthen Winged King all narrowed their eyes in surprise.
Seeing how her words led to such a drastic response from Bai Yurou, Bai Yueye imdiately bead with joy inside. She nodded away fervently and said with great interest, “Yeah, yeah! When sister Yurou led the elders off to deal with the Earthen Winged King, he told us that there were two sacred beasts in Death Valley soon after you left. In the beginning, we didn’t believe him, but we never expected him to be right.”
“He’s far too well-inford, such that he actually beat our White Emperor clan to it. He seems to be extrely familiar with the danger we’re facing right now too.”
Bai Yueye beca more energetic the more she spoke, yamring away. “However, since he knows our White Emperor clan is in trouble and is still bold enough to claim that he can provide us with a safe place, it looks like he does have so confidence in that.”
Bai Yueye’s eyes shone with hope. “Sister Yurou, I know he might be deceiving us, but at least this is hope. In these dire straits of almost certain death, I think anything with even the slightest glimr of hope is worth trying out.”
“Yueye, what’s wrong with you? He couldn’t even deal with an ancient forest beast, yet you think we can deal with our current danger?”
“Yueye, use your head. We all know that you’re very desperate in a situation like this, but no matter how desperate you beco, you shouldn’t be so naive.”
......
…
As soon as Bai Yueye said that, the people in the surroundings sighed. Many of them had seen Jian Chen before, but none of them were naive enough to believe the person who rode a low level spiritual beast with petrified legs was soone extraordinary.
However, Bai Yurou and Chu Tianxing sank into their thoughts. Their eyes shone with uncertainty.
“Eder Chu!” Suddenly, Bai Yurou shouted out.
“Young miss!” Chu Tianxing answered with his fist clasped.
Bai Yurou stared at Chu Tianxing with brimming interest and asked, “Chu Tianxing, did that person really find the small sword in death valley? The one that erupted with the strength of a heavenly king the other day in White Emperor city?”
“Young miss, he did indeed say that he found it when he gave the small sword. As for whether he actually found it, that… that’s not sothing I can be certain about,” Chu Tianxing said in thought. He did not spend too much ti thinking about this in the past, but looking at it now, it did not seem to be as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Chu Tianxing was more than familiar with the rarity of a secret treasure that could unleash a heavenly king’s attack in the Wood Spirits World.
Could a secret treasure that precious just be found on the ground?
At that mont, Chu Tianxing began to develop doubts as well.
“Bai Yueye, lead the way. I will et with this person personally.” Bai Yurou made a decision very quickly before saying, “Elder Chu, you co with too. The rest can remain here for now.”
Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueye left. Bai Yueye led the way, and the three of them arrived outside the courtyard where Jian Chen stayed very soon.
“Sister Yurou, it’s right here.”
It was extrely scenic outside the courtyard, with no one around. Bai Yurou stood around the entrance and looked around for a while. She did not use the senses of her soul rashly. Instead, she clasped her hand solemnly and was just about to talk.
Suddenly, the gates to the courtyard slowly opened, and an old man erged. He did not give off any presence at all, so he seed like a mortal.
The old man was the leader of the Xia rchant Union, Xia Jianming!
Both Bai Yurou and Chu Tianxing had heard many things about Xia Jianming before, but it was only in terms of renown. They had never seen Xia Jianming in person or any depictions of him.
As a result, neither of them recognised Xia Jianming’s true identity.
“Master is already waiting. Please co with ,” Xia Jianming spoke extrely mildly.
Bai Yurou and Chu Tianxing exchanged glances. There was a hint of surprise in both of their eyes. The owner of this place had actually sensed their arrival beforehand. That without a doubt consolidated so of their thoughts.
“Young miss, looks like he really isn’t as simple as we imagined him to be.” Chu Tianxing communicated to Bai Yurou.
The three of them followed Xia Jianming into the courtyard.
Bai Yurou nodded gently and said nothing.
The three of them followed behind Xia Jianming and arrived before Jian Chen very soon.
Jian Chen was seated in the sa pavilion as when he t Bai Yueye and the others. His legs had turned to stone, so he remained in the sa seated position. He seed quite relaxed.
“I didn’t think we’d et again so soon.” Jian Chen glanced past Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueye and smiled faintly.
Bai Yurou stepped forward in front of Chu Tianxing. Her beautiful face was filled with seriousness, staring straight at Jian Chen.
However, right as she was about to speak up, an extrely powerful presence suddenly appeared on the horizon, enveloping the entire Sword Emperor city instantly with a sense of pressure that could not be resisted.
Outside Sword Emperor city, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King appeared with his green robes and his crown on his head. He strode through the air, instantly shooting over the mighty walls of Sword Emperor city and making his way directly towards the Sword Emperor clan.
At the sa ti, in the Sword Emperor’s estate, the Sword Emperor dressed in white stood up and let out a great sigh. His expression was mixed, filled with a sense of helplessness.
In the courtyard of the Xia rchant Union, Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueye all lost their breaths to the presence of a heavenly king. Their faces all beca sickly pale.
Xia Jianming, who stood quietly beside Jian Chen, also had an ugly expression. He subconsciously cried out, “It’s one of the nine heavenly kings, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King! I didn’t expect him to reach Sword Emperor city so soon!”
When they heard that it was the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King, the expressions of Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueye imdiately changed drastically.
But very soon, Bai Yurou and Chu Tianxing noticed sothing and suddenly looked towards Xia Jianming in surprise.
Even the two of them were unable to distinguish who the presence belonged to, so how did this old man that resembled a servant tell with a single glance?
The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King strode through the air leisurely with his hands behind his back. With each step, he covered an extrely great distance. He moved extrely quickly, heading directly towards the Sword Emperor’s estate.
“Hmm?” Suddenly, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King seed to sense sothing. He looked towards a certain part of Sword Emperor city and was surprised. “It’s the leader of the Xia rchant Union, Xia Jianming, and the talented little girl from the White Emperor clan. I didn’t expect them to be together!”
After a mont of thought, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King seed to connect so dots, and his lips curled into a sinister smile. He changed directions and directly made his way towards Jian Chen’s courtyard.
Heavenly kings moved with great speed. In an instant, he had crossed through the sky and appeared in the courtyard.
Xia Jianming, Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueyue only felt a blur before their eyes. Before they knew it, a middle-aged man in green clothes with a crown on his head had appeared before them like he had teleported. His presence was as vast as an ocean and absolutely terrifying. The weaker Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueye were imdiately forced back.
Blood even oozed out from the corner of Bai Yueye’s lips.
Xia Jianming was able to withstand the presence, but he was solemn, standing behind Jian Chen carefully.
“Xia Jianming, union leader Xia, you sure are bold, destroying my plans.” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King imdiately turned towards Xia Jianming.
That was because in his senses, Xia Jianming was the strongest out of the people in the courtyard. He was a Primordial realm expert.
Xia Jianming had erased his presence, but he was only a Third Heavenly Layer Infinite Pri after all. Before a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Pri heavenly king, he was obviously unable to hide anything.
But in the next mont, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King narrowed his eyes slowly and shifted his gaze from Xia Jianming. Then he saw Jian Chen, who sat on the stone seat with his petrified legs. His gaze imdiately turned into a glare.
“Sir, who are you?” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King’s presence surged as his expression gradually turned serious.
“I am Jian Chen!”
