Chaotic Sword God
chapter-2583

“Don’t worry. Our Tian Yuan clan has already fallen out with them. There will be a great battle sooner or later,” Jian Chen shrugged and said without minding it so that Tian Shuang would stop worrying.

Tian Shuang had already taken the divine hall from Jian Chen. She released Xing’er and Lan’er, who had been trapped within the divine hall.

After so many years, the two princesses became even more beautiful. Not only did the two of them possess the unique physique of the Heavenly Yin Body and the Innate Body of Ways, but their beauty was also enough to outshine the moon. They also possessed a noble bearing due to how they were raised. It was enough to entice people into wanting to dominate them.

But now, both of them were pale. Despair, sorrow, and fury filled their eyes.

They had been abducted by Mu Lin. They had watched the two ancestors of the Xuandao Empire die, as well as their father being buried under the rubble with heavy wounds. All of this had been firmly embedded in their heads. They struggled to accept this as they had never encountered anything like this before.

Xing’er and Lan’er turned around with rather hollow eyes as soon as they emerged from the divine hall. They immediately saw Tian Shang standing beside them, and a sliver of colour finally appeared in their dim eyes.

“Ancestor!” Xing’er and Lan’er both sobbed sorrowfully. They clung onto her arms as tears rolled down their cheeks. Their bodies trembled gently.

“Xing’er, Lan’er, don’t be scared. You’re safe now. Jian Chen saved you.” Tian Shuang looked at the two of them rather tenderly. She said gently, “Xing’er, Lan’er, why don’t you thank young master Jian Chen?”

With that, Xing’er and Lan’er raised their heads and looked around. They saw the bloody head nearby with a single glance and hatred immediately filled their eyes.

Afterwards, they looked at Jian Chen and thanked him. They were in grief.

“Ancestor, who is this person? What grievances does our Xuandao Empire have with him? Why has he come to destroy our Xuandao Empire?” Xing’er stared at Mu Lin’s head in hatred as she grinded her teeth.

“He doesn’t have any grievances with your Xuandao Empire at all. I’m guessing he only attacked you because you belong to the Righteous Alliance,” Jian Chen answered Xing’er’s question.

Jian Chen knew extremely well that Mu Lin had come for their unique physiques. Destroying the Xuandao Empire was probably secondary. However, in order to spare the two princesses from the psychological burden, he made the Righteous Alliance the reason.

Otherwise, if the two princesses learnt that they were the reason for the crisis of the Xuandao Empire, they would probably never forgive themselves. They would dwell in pain and self-blame.

“As long as I exist, the Xuandao Empire will not be destroyed. What happened this time is only a test in the Xuandao Empire’s path to becoming powerful. Xing’er, Lan’er, stay in the Tian Yuan clan for now. I’ll return to the Xuandao Empire and check on the situation there,” said Tian Shuang. She had completely calmed down now, recovering her demeanour of an ancestor of the Xuandao Empire.

With that, she left the Tian Yuan clan alone, returning to the Xuandao Empire with her Disc of Heavenly Ways.

At the same time, the five ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance gathered together in the headquarters.

“Mu Lin is dead. We can’t keep this a secret. He’s the only bodyguard that has come from the Star Brilliance Plane with the young star lord. His death will probably upset the young star lord. Gentle Breeze, you clearly could have saved Mu Lin but you didn’t. Was that really the right decision?” asked Gong Ji of the five ancestors. There was clearly some doubt in her voice.

“If we don’t interfere, we can remain uninvolved, but once we do, we’ll really be a part of it all. The young star lord seems to be on our side for now, but we haven’t really managed to ally ourselves with the Star Brilliance Mountain yet. As a result, we can’t interfere at all. Once we offend Jian Chen, that’ll be equivalent to offending the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng,” said the Gentle Breeze Ancestor with a lot of worry.

“Gentle Breeze, you’re far too cowardly. Have you ever considered that if we keep doing things half-heartedly and remain unwilling to truly assist the young star lord, he’ll be repulsed by us and leave us in the end? I know you’re thinking for the alliance. You both want to ally us with the young star lord while not offending the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. However, if you don’t pay a certain price, how will you ever get anything in return?” said Wu Lu of the five ancestors firmly. He clearly disagreed with the Gentle Breeze Ancestor’s thoughts.

“Gentle Breeze, I originally thought of the same thing as you, thinking that we should just try rope in the young star lord and avoid offending the Tian Yuan clan and Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. However, with the developments so far, I’ve gradually understood something. How can things be so perfect in this world? I think it’s time for us to make our decision about this whole matter. If we keep acting half-heartedly, we’ll only lose out on everything and end up suffering instead,” Gong Ji said sternly. She agreed with Wu Lu on this.

Today, the first disagreement between the ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance happened since the founding of the alliance. In the end, they ended their meeting in disagreement.

“What? Mu Lin is dead? He was personally slain by Jian Chen?” Before long, the young star lord received the news of Mu Lin’s death in a luxurious residence within the Four Symbols Alliance. He immediately flew into a rage.

“Alright. Alright. Alright. Jian Chen, I swear I will never spare you for killing a person that belongs to me. I will never return to the Star Brilliance Plane until you are dead.” The young star lord grinded his teeth as his face darkened from anger.

At that moment, his killing intent and resentment towards Jian Chen had reached the maximum.

Ever since he was born, he had never resented or hated someone so much.

“Young star lord, if you plan on dealing with the Tian Yuan clan, I can assist you.” At this moment, a voice rang out. An old woman with peppered hair walked in gradually.

She was one of the five ancestors of the Four Symbols Alliance, Gong Ji.

“And me!” Behind her, Wu Lu appeared as well.

Two of the five ancestors had come to the young star lord’s residence together. They kept their presences concealed and seemed just like mortals.
