The Crisis Has Just Started
3/14 chapter!
In truth, Second Guardian wasn’t surprised by Jiang Chen’s response. It would be unexpected if Jiang Chen agreed to let Eighth Guardian and Desolate Emperor go. He had fallen into Jiang Chen’s trap when he offered the terms of the battle. Now that the terms were mutually agreed and the battle was over, they were in a dilemma whether to retreat or advance.
“Second Brother, what now? Eighth Sister and Palace Master have already fallen into Jiang Chen’s custody which makes it hard for us to advance.” A guardian neared Second Guardian and spoke.
At this time, few of the half-step Human Immortal Supreme Elders approached Second Guardian.
“Second Guardian, I think we should retreat first. Then we will discuss about how we will deal with these three major palaces. They won’t be able to create any waves of chaos even if they have a few more days of time. The outcome will be the same. There’s no one that can stop our palace from ruling the entire Saint Origin Palace.” A Supreme Elder said.
“Alright. We’ll let them live two more days. Tear off the submissive contract. They won’t have the chance to sign this contract anymore. Soon, they will be greeted by extinction and complete destruction.” Second Guardian said maliciously.
He had not expected to encounter such a large obstacle in his first battle after the succeeding in his cultivation. It made him feel as if a thorn was jabbed into his heart. It was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.
“Jiang Chen, this will be your last chance. If you let Desolate Emperor and Eighth Guardian go now and submit yourselves to us, I guarantee Desolate Palace will never create trouble for you all anymore. If you decline my offer, you should be able to imagine the outcome of such action. Our forces is unstoppable. The three palaces will lose the only chance of signing the submissive contract. Then, whatever awaits you all in the end will be annihilation,” said Second Guardian sternly.
“I don’t think the annihilation of both armies will be a big deal. I am waiting for it,” replied Jiang Chen incisively.
This was the first direct confrontation he had against Desolate Palace. He would never show any quarters to them. To him, the submissive contract was totally ridiculous. He was the majestic world’s Greatest Saint and the greatest cultivator in his past life. In this life, he would return to the height he once reached by stepping on all his formidable and powerful enemies ruthlessly. Presently, Desolate Palace was the strongest enemy he had faced so far.
“Very well. You three palaces will pay a high price for what you decided today.”
Second Guardian tore off three submissive contracts immediately, showing them that they had lost their chance to live. Desolate Palace would deal with them with the cruelest means, ensuring that they wouldn’t have the chance to survive.
“Retreat!”
Second Guardian waved, and disappeared with the army.
Seeing what happened, all the experts of three major palaces cheered once more. Their despair disappeared in an instant. Previously, they had almost lost their hopes until Jiang Chen emerged, reversing the critical situation. This had raised their impression of him. Everyone including Bin Changxiao was staring at him with respect.
“Jiang Chen, from today onwards we will scrape off the grudge and revenge between you and our palace. Bin Palace owes you a great kindness for saving our lives.” Bin Changxiao neared Jiang Chen and spoke earnestly.
“It is very wise for Bin palace master to ally yourself with us. I, Jiang Chen, always liked to mix with people who are sensible.” Jiang Chen smiled and said.
As a matter of fact, Jiang Chen hadn’t gained anything from Bin Palace, but he had killed many of their people. Naturally, he wouldn’t decline them when they had decided to form an alliance with the two palaces during a moment of crisis. In addition, he believed that Bin Changxiao was sincere.
“Jiang Chen, with Desolate Emperor and Eighth Guardian in our grasp right now, I believe Desolate Palace won’t dare to act rashly.” Gu Firmament said with a smile.
His current mood was totally different from his previous gloomy mood.
“It’s too early to celebrate now. Our crisis hasn’t passed yet. We were just able to obtain a few days’ time. Now, all of you follow me into the meeting hall for discussion.” Jiang Chen’s tone turned solemn suddenly.
Later, he led the experts back to the meeting hall.
Those who had heaved a long sigh of relief felt uneasy once more; they could never ignore Jiang Chen’s words.
In the meeting hall of Gu Palace, Jiang Chen sat on the seat of honor. Even the half-step Human Immortal old ancestors sat below his two sides willingly. Everyone in the hall was clear that this youth in white was the backbone of the three major palaces. Every one of them was obliged to follow Jiang Chen’s arrangements and orders. Only this could minimize the risk of getting annihilated.
“Jiang Chen, Desolate Emperor holds the highest position and power in Desolate Palace. Despite Desolate Palace has longed to rule the entire Saint Origin Palace, they can’t possibly ignore the life of Desolate Emperor,” said Gu Firmament.
“You all have underestimated the forces of Desolate Palace and overrated the role of Desolate Emperor. Let me tell you all their secret now. Did you ever doubt how those peerless geniuses were produced? Despite the strength of Desolate Palace now, they were relatively similar to any of you. But why could they nurture so many terrifying geniuses?” asked Jiang Chen grimly.
“This is a question which we have been thinking about, but we found no answer to that. Jiang Chen, what’s their secret of nurturing all these peerless geniuses?” An old ancestor of Gu Palace asked.
