Chapter 890: A Chaotic Battle (One)

After two days of traveling, the three of them had already traversed several hundreds of thousands of kilometers. They were now at the edge of the Heaven’s Spirit Hall’s territory, only a little over two hundred thousand kilometers from the territory of the Sea Goddess Hall.

This was all because of the speed at which Nubis and Xie Wang traveled at using Spatial Force with their cultivation of the Ninth Heavenly Layer. If it was only Jian Chen, he probably would have only been able to travel a third of that distance.

“There’s another half a day before we enter the Sea Goddess Hall’s territory. We’ll be safe then and we won’t have to worry about experts pursuing us,” Nubis said as he hurried along. He constantly looked backward as a sliver of seriousness flashed through his eyes.

Several Saint Rulers tailed the three of them closely. They were all of the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Layer and belonged to different tribes.

The three of them flew over many tribes recklessly, which was a type of straightforward provocation. As a result, it caused quite a few experts who were confident in their strengths to chase after them. They wanted an explanation from the trio and to make up for the challenge to their dignity.

They paid no attention to the people who tailed them closely as they just did not have the time to deal with them. Getting to the territory of the Sea Goddess Hall as soon as possible was the most urgent matter.

Three vast presences quickly expanded from behind at this very moment. Three elders shot toward the trio like bolts of lightning. The three deacon elders had almost caught up with Jian Chen’s group.

None of them possessed the power to escape the pursuit of Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint Kings. As a result, they were stopped very soon.

All three deacon elders were rather old. They wore black robes and were stern. A vast presence coiled around them and even the surroundings trembled. They were extremely terrifying.

The Saint Rulers from various tribes also drew closer. They all looked at the three old men and jumped in fright from their auras. They all knew that these three old men had reached a terrifying level of strength.

However, their expressions changed when they saw the red, lock-like badge on their chests. They immediately bowed toward them and said, “We greet the deacon elders.”

The deacon elders stared fixedly at Jian Chen and Nubis while a wondrous light flickered in their eyes. One of them waved a hand at the Saint Rulers who had chased the trio and said, “You have no business here. You can leave.”

“Yes, deacon elders.” The Saint Rulers from the various tribes did not dare to disobey them. They bowed once again, before backing off to a distance. However, they did not leave and instead watched on from over ten kilometers away. They wanted to see just what would happen here that required three deacon elders to move out together.

The light in Jian Chen’s eyes flickered. Just from their presences, he already knew than the three deacon elders were not any weaker than Ling Yuanzi from the Yiyuan sect and Bi Yifei who he had encountered outside. They were much more powerful that the two elders who had died to his forbidden arte.

“Looks like I can only cast it again. If I offer up a thousand years of my life, it should be enough to slaughter the three of them,” thought Jian Chen as a light in his eyes flickered. The only way he could flee successfully from here was by casting the arte since matters had developed in such a way. He had killed two elders of the Heaven’s Spirit Hall before, so there was already enmity between him and the hall. It would be difficult to resolve this peacefully.

However, the price of a thousand years was just too great. It made Jian Chen hesitate. He had already coughed up a thousand years of life the last two times he cast the arte. If he coughed up another thousand years, it would be two thousand in total. He would be left with less than a thousand years to live.

“Ruler’s Qi. The two of them actually have Ruler’s Qi.” The deacon elders constantly shifted their gazes between Jian Chen and Nubis while their faces were filled with surprise.

“Were the two elders both killed by you people?” An elder asked the three of them after a while.

“Correct. They were indeed killed by us. You must have come to avenge them.” Jian Chen replied normally. He had already made the preparations to cast God’s Descent at any time.

The three deacon elders shook their heads gently. One of them said, “We won’t trouble you. The hall elders only want to see you, so please come with us. If you’re willing to join us, I believe the hall elders won’t dwell on you killing the two elders.” The three deacon elders appeared before Jian Chen and the other two after that. They did not wait for their reply and moved against them straightforwardly. Matching one deacon elder to each person, they directly extended their hands out to grab them.

A sliver of determination flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. He immediately formed a seal with his hands, raising his head high above. He was about to cast the forbidden arte.

However, Jian Chen’s eyes narrowed at this crucial moment. The corners of his lips curled into a slight sneer and he stopped his casting of the arte.

Another four tremendous presences quickly expanded from the surroundings. With four loud whistles of wind, four figures approached the area with unbelievable speed. They were at the horizon but in the next moment, they had already stopped before the three deacon elders. They maintained a distance of twenty meters.
