Chapter 1229: Sudden Changes of the Turtle Clan

The only place Jian Chen could temporarily stay in the sea realm was the Turtle clan, so after his conversation with the sea goddess, he headed to the Turtle clan’s territory with Nubis.

The space within the sea realm was much tougher than outside. Saint Kings could not rip open the space there to create Space Gates, so Jian Chen and Nubis could only fly to the Turtle clan.

“Haha, it’s said that the barrier around the sea realm can prevent the entry of foreign Saint Kings, yet I’ve entered the sea realm as a foreign Saint King without any difficulty at all. Probably only the two of us can enjoy such a great treatment,” Nubis could not help but laugh freely as they flew.

“Oh right, Jian Chen, that big fellow is still cultivating in the artifact space. He doesn’t seem to have come to the sea realm before, so you might as well let him out to have a look,” said Nubis again.

Jian Chen immediately thought of Tie Ta who had always been cultivating within the artifact space. Hesitating slightly, he still ended up calling him out.

With a flash of golden light, Tie Ta’s burly body appeared by Jian Chen’s side. His skin carried a faint, golden luster as a gentle, golden light shone from his body. It seemed like his skin was made from gold.

Since Tie Ta’s identity was just far too sensitive on the Tian Yuan Continent, Jian Chen never dared to let him appear in front of others. After all, the war god of the Hundred Races had provoked the Beast God Continent and the Tian Yuan Continent in ancient times. As soon as the news that the war god had returned made its way out, he would not be able to keep Tie Ta safe with his current strength.

However, the sea realm was different. In ancient times, only the Sea race did not participate in the war, so they did not have any enmity with the war god. To the various experts of the sea realm, perhaps the appearance of the war god would have nothing to do with them, much less lead to any conflicts of interest.

Exactly because of that, Jian Chen allowed Tie Ta to appear in the sea realm in such a bold fashion without any worry.

This was the first time Tie Ta had come to the sea realm, so he constantly looked around as soon as he appeared outside the artifact space. He was extremely curious about everything, so he asked Jian Chen and Nubis about everything.

Jian Chen and Nubis explained everything to Tie Ta as they traveled. They shared everything they knew with him without hiding anything.

The three of them maintained a straight course as they flew to where the Turtle clan was. They flew over many large clans, which caused many experts to come up to stop them. However, since they let their presences radiate out without holding back, the aggressive experts immediately became bright red. They would politely clasp their hands to the three of them before obediently backing off.

After flying for several hours, the three of them finally arrived at the Turtle clan. However, what they saw was not a prosperous clan, but a battleground dyed with blood. Blood had pooled into small streams with many corpses strewn across the ground. Not only were there members of the Turtle clan, there were other people as well, but all of the other people wore the same attire. It was possible to tell with a single glance that they belonged to the same organization. Meanwhile, the many, grand structures of the clan had been reduced to ruins by the battle as well. Bloody marks were present everywhere.

Two hundred-meter-wide pits had been dug far away. Between the ruins of the clan, several dozen people in the same attire worked arduously as they moved the corpses. They moved all the corpses into the two large pits to bury them. Hundreds, possibly even thousands, of dead people were already stacked inside.

Jian Chen and Nubis, who had just arrived, revealed a drastically different expression when they saw this. Only Tie Ta, who was clueless, remained composed as he observed the ruined territory of the Turtle clan.

Jian Chen hovered several hundred meters in the air as he stared blankly at the horrifying landscape. His face was filled with shock and disbelief. He had even begun to doubt his eyes at that moment.

Suddenly, fury surged in Jian Chen’s heart. Great killing intent radiated from him without control, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet, as if it had turned into an ice cavern.

Jian Chen suddenly vanished from the air. By the time he had appeared, he had already traversed a thousand meters, arriving beside a middle-aged man who was moving corpses. He grabbed the man by the clothes on his chest and loudly demanded, “What’s happened to the Turtle clan!? Speak!”

The middle-aged man was only an Earth Saint Master, so Jian Chen’s vast presence and icy-cold killing intent pressed against his chest like a mountain, making breathing difficult for him. He had almost suffocated, and he instantly paled.

The middle-aged man understood just how terrifying Jian Chen was. He even felt like he was stared into a death god’s eyes as he looked at Jian Chen’s cold pupils. They seemed like they could suck away his soul at any moment.

“W- w- warrior, the Turtle clan’s been wiped out by the Tao family. I am a member of the Tao family, so I hope you can spare my life on behalf of the clan,” the middle-aged man replied to Jian Chen with a trembling voice. His heart was filled with fear. At the same time, he did not forget to bring up the Tao family in attempt to scare off Jian Chen to prevent him from doing anything.

“What! The Turtle clan’s been wiped out…” Jian Chen mumbled in a daze as a clap of thunder seemed to have exploded in his head. He felt the world spin around him.

Although he did not have any deep ties with the Turtle clan, their grand elder had saved his life before. In order to save him, the grand elder had been killed, and his attachment to the clan formed a will after his death. This was more than enough to show just how important the clan was to the grand elder.
