Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2387

“Lian Qi, are you thinking of pairing Jun Kong and Mu’er together by sending them where the Third Ancestor cultivated in the past?” Gu Na of the four ancestors asked slowly after Shangguan Mu’er and Jun Kong departed.

Lian Qi nodded but said nothing in reply.

After a moment of slight hesitation, Gu Na continued, “But you know about Mu’er’s situation. She has a husband, and her husband is still alive.”

Lian Qi sighed gently when he heard that. “You’re talking about Jian Chen, right? I’ve heard about him lately as well. He has caused quite the disturbance on the Desolate Plane. From the rumours, he is indeed extremely outstanding. If Jun Kong had not comprehended the Concept of Life and Death, he never would have been his opponent.”

“But Jian Chen sure knows how to create trouble. Look at him. He’s a mere Godking, yet what has he turned the Desolate Plane into? How much trouble has he caused? And how many peak experts has he offended? If Mu’er retains her relationship with him, nothing good will come out of it for her. Instead, she’ll be drawn into the whole fiasco. Even our Daoist Sect of Divine Sound will suffer as a result.”

Lian Qi paused. He looked at Gu Na deeply and continued, “Mu’er has inherited the Third Ancestor’s legacy. I won’t go into detail about the significance that holds for our Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. As a result, we have to watch over her and protect her for the sake of her growth.”

“Right now, Mu’er already faces a lurking danger, Jian Chen. As a result, if it’s possible, we have to make them separate.”

“Moreover, you’ve seen Jun Kong’s infatuation towards Mu’er as well. If Jun Kong can become a couple with Mu’er, he will be fulfilled, and it’ll be of great help to his comprehension of the Concept of Life and Death. If that doesn’t happen, Jun Kong’s mind might collapse; it might destroy him.”

“I’m not pairing the two of them together just to make Mu’er leave Jian Chen. I’m also thinking for Jun Kong.”

Gu Na sighed gently after hearing Lian Qi’s words. She slowly paced outside and looked at the clouds. She sighed and said, “I think it’ll be difficult. I can already see that Mu’er has no good impression of Jun Kong. Even if she does, she only treats him as a senior, and this relationship isn’t even deep.”

Lian Qi arrived behind Gu Na. He extended his arms and hugged her from behind. His face was gentle as he said softly, “If you think about the past, you had no good impression of me either, but in the end, aren’t we still together?”

“No one can really be certain of what the future holds…”

…

Ever since war erupted with the Tian Empire’s attempt to conquer the entire Cloud Plane, the entire plane had fallen into constant upheaval. Wars were constantly raged. Many cultivators died as a result of the battles.

Although the Tian Empire had been eliminated from the Cloud Plane, the four ancient organisations that they had worked with in the past were unaffected. Ever since the Tian Empire’s destruction, the four ancient organisations had devoured their remaining forces and formed the Four Symbols Alliance. They occupied the southern region of the Cloud Plane and set up base there as a military alliance, engaging in an extended war against the Righteous Alliance led by the Heaven’s Link Peak.

Several years ago, many battles of various sizes had erupted between the two alliances. Their peak experts had clashed in outer space time and time again.

Although the Righteous Alliance led by the Heaven’s Link Peak had more peak experts than the Four Symbols Alliance, all of them were selfish and were unwilling to pay too great of a price. They were unwilling to bear the risk of becoming injured or even dying, so they never destroyed the Four Symbols Alliance.

As a result, the Four Symbols Alliance and the Righteous Alliance became locked in an extended stalemate.

More, as time went on, the Righteous Alliance seemed to realise that destroying the Four Symbols Alliance would not be an easy task. As a result, the decision makers of the Righteous Alliance gradually recognised the Four Symbols Alliance’s existence. The clashes between the peak experts gradually lessened.

In particular, a Chaotic Prime from the Four Symbols Alliance had successfully broken through to Grand Prime after remaining at the Ninth Heavenly Layer for over a million years. With that, the peak powers of the two alliances basically seemed to reach a secret ceasefire agreement.

Of course, this ceasefire was only between the peak powers of the two alliances. The various smaller conflicts between the people below them never stopped.

Naturally, during this upheaval of the entire Cloud Plane, the Pingtian Empire that had been elevated to the status of ancient empire recently had remained an exception to all this.

Now, the entire Pingtian Empire was protected by a powerful layer of formations. The formation operated by sucking in energy from all directions, forming a transparent barrier. It served as the ultimate protection of the Pingtian Empire.

The entire southern region of the Cloud Plane had fallen under the control of the Four Symbols Alliance. The past ruler of the southern region, the Blood Sun Empire, had become their subsidiary.

The Pingtian Empire was the only exception.

This was all because the Pingtian Empire possessed a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime!

A single Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime was enough for the Four Symbols Alliance and the Righteous Alliance to treat with caution, let alone the one in the Pingtian Empire that possessed unmatched battle prowess.

“It’s time for us to show the Pingtian Empire our might…”

On this day, an ancient voice rang out from a majestic divine hall in the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance.

Five people sat within the divine hall. They varied in age and appearance, but they all seemed dignified.

The five of them were the peak powers of the Four Symbols Alliance.

“There’s no need to worry about the emperor of the Pingtian Empire. What we do have to worry about is that Ming Xie with unknown origins. He’s very powerful. Among the Chaotic Primes of our alliance, there’s no one who’s his opponent. They’ve all been repelled. Ming Xie is the only obstruction from us conquering the Pingtian Empire.”

“We have to gain complete control over the southern region, and we can’t let any organisations that don’t belong to us exist. In the past, we could not spare any effort to deal with the Pingtian Empire because of the Righteous Alliance, but now that we have been freed up, we have to deal with the Pingtian Empire.”

“That’s right. The Pingtian Empire must fall under our control, and Ming Xie must join our Four Symbols Alliance so that we can expand our alliance’s strength.”

“If they don’t yield, then they must face death. We cannot let any potential problems linger…”

…

The five experts of the Four Symbols Alliance all expressed that they had to conquer the Pingtian Empire.

“I’ll personally take action this time,” said a burly, middle-aged man. He basically growled with bloodthirst and viciousness.

The middle-aged man was called Zheng Hu. He was the Grand Prime of the Four Symbols Alliance who had broken through a year ago.

His breakthrough had further consolidated the status of the Four Symbols Alliance.

Before long, Zheng Hu travelled off to the Pingtian Empire aggressively with a group of experts from the Four Symbols Alliance. He was ready to destroy the empire if they did not yield.
