Chapter 3300: The Sword Emperor

Jian Chen sat within a beautiful pavilion in the courtyard, sipping on some fine alcohol served up by Xia Jianming. He seemed extremely leisurely.

On the side of the pavilion was a small pond that was not particularly large but exquisitely designed.

Small, spiritual fish swam around within the pool.

Jian Chen would glance past the pond of fish from time to time. As he stared at the spiritual fish in the water, he could not help but reminisce about the past.

“Hmm? What are you doing here?” At this moment, a voice filled with surprise rang out. Xia Jianming was leading Bai Yueye and the others towards the pavilion.

Bai Yueye noticed the seated Jian Chen with his legs petrified from afar. She immediately exclaimed in much surprise.

The people from the White Emperor clan who had come with Bai Yueye clearly recognised Jian Chen too. They all blanked out.

They did not spend as much time with Jian Chen as Bai Yueye and Bai Changlin, but they still had quite a deep impression of him. This troubled person had almost died in the ancient forest beast’s belly but was accidentally saved by elder Chu.

Bai Changlin subconsciously glanced around the courtyard and furrowed his brows slightly. He could tell with a single glance that this courtyard was not something that any regular person could own in Sword Emperor city, yet Jian Chen actually stayed here, which obviously surprised him very much.

“Master!” Xia Jianming arrived before Jian Chen and bowed politely towards him.

Jian Chen gestured for them to take a seat with a smile before telling Xia Jianming, “Bring some spiritual fruits over. They’ve technically helped me out in the past, so I obviously have to treat them well today.” Jian Chen seemed very approachable. He did not give off the haughty presence belonging to an expert at all.

“Yes, master!” Xia Jianming was extremely respectful, immediately taking out a large number of spiritual fruits from his Space Ring.

However, Bai Yueye and the others did not pay any attention to Xia Jianming. After all, a servant was not enough to raise their attention. Their gazes all became fixed on Jian Chen, shining with curiosity.

“This is your courtyard? Looks like you have quite the status in Sword Emperor city,” said Bai Changlin jokingly, impressed by Jian Chen.

“This isn’t my territory. I’m just temporarily staying here,” Jian Chen said nonchalantly and picked up a spiritual fruit without any regard. Then he gestured to the others to take one too.

“Oh, I see!” Bai Changlin’s doubts were resolved.

“You haven’t returned to White Emperor city and have appeared in Sword Emperor city instead. Looks like you’ve run into trouble. You can’t go back to White Emperor city anymore,” Jian Chen said casually.

When they heard that, they all became gloomy.

“Hmph, we’re just unable to return to White Emperor city for the moment. Miss Yurou has already gone to visit senior Sword Emperor. Given the friendship between the Sword Emperor and the White Emperor, he’ll definitely lend a hand.” Bai Yueye was unconvinced.

“It’s not as simple as you imagine it to be.” Jian Chen shook his head gently, but he did not give any further explanation. “Remember this courtyard. If you encounter any troubles you can’t deal with, come here.”

“Other places might be very dangerous for you, but you will be extremely safe here.”

Standing on the side, even Xia Jianming could not help but show a hint of envy when he heard Jian Chen’s promise.

Bai Yueye, Bai Changlin, and the others all curled their lips. They did not take it too seriously.

Very soon, they left. They still had a mission to handle. They had to purchase a variety of resources.

But afterwards, to their surprise, the cultivation resources sold by the various merchants throughout Sword Emperor city actually plummeted dramatically. Every single resource was extremely cheap, much cheaper than their usual price.

That left them extremely astonished.

At the same time, the gentlemanly Sword Emperor dressed in white clothes sat within his study in the Sword Emperor clan. He held an ancient book that he was engrossed in.

Before the Sword Emperor, Bai Yurou maintained a bowing posture, having changed into a set of black clothes. There was respect from the bottom of her heart on her face.

“Little Rou, I won’t be able to help you with this.” The Sword Emperor slowly lowered the book in his hand and sighed.

Bai Yurou became flustered and said in a hurry, “Senior Sword Emperor, you are ancestor’s best friend. Ancestor frequently mentioned you to me before his passing. Now that ancestor has been killed, the White Emperor clan is facing unprecedented danger. Apart from senior Sword Emperor, I truly cannot think of any other way to save our White Emperor clan.”

Bai Yurou dropped down on one knee and pleaded with him. “Please assist us and save the White Emperor’s faction, senior Sword Emperor.”

The Sword Emperor was helpless. He said calmly, “The White Emperor is indeed one of my few good friends. His death has pained me very much too. However, little Rou, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I’m truly incapable of helping you. This matter is far more complicated than it seems on the surface.”

“Little Rou, there are a lot of things involved. The Peace region is changing. It’s about to face a storm of unprecedented intensity. Within this storm, even our Sword Emperor city might not be able to emerge in one piece.”

“If handled badly, our Sword Emperor city will even be destroyed.”

When she heard that, Bai Yurou’s expression suddenly changed, becoming filled with shock.

In the Peace region, the nine imperial cities were paramount existences. They ruled over the entire Peace region and were the rule-setters.

The nine imperial cities had been replaced throughout the lengthy history of the Wood Spirits World before, but that was only because they had lost their emperors and no longer possessed the same influence as before. As such, they were replaced by up and coming clans.

But right now, the Sword Emperor was alive and well, yet he said that even Sword Emperor city was in danger of perishing in the storm. How could Bai Yurou not be shocked?

That had already exceeded the limits of her understanding, surpassing anything she knew.

“Senior Sword Emperor, what exactly is going to happen to the Peace region?” Bai Yurou asked urgently.

“The Peace region…” As soon as the Sword Emperor spoke, his expression changed slightly. Immediately, he produced a jade talisman for voice transmissions with a flip of his hand. A piece of information entered his ear from afar.

The Sword Emperor immediately became solemn. His eyebrows were firmly locked as his eyes became sunken.

“I didn’t think it would happen so quickly. The Magic Emperor of the nine emperors of the Peace region has perished,” said the Sword Emperor after a lengthy pause. His gaze was frightening.

“What? The Magic Emperor has perished?” Bai Yurou blanked out at the news of that. She was in disbelief.

Not only was the Magic Emperor one of the nine emperors of the Peace region, but he also ranked second among them.

The nine emperors of the Peace region were all late Infinite Primes, but there was still an extremely obvious difference in their strength.

For example, the White Emperor, Sword Emperor, and Tyrant Emperor were all Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes.

Meanwhile, the Magic Emperor who ranked second was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime!

The Sword Emperor stood up and made his way over to the window slowly, staring at the scenery outside. He said solemnly, “The Magic Emperor has been slain by the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King.”

“The Peace region had rules set down by the three rulers. How can the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King just casually kill an emperor like this?” Bai Yurou was shocked.
