Chapter 1231: Envoy of the Tao Family (2/2)

“大胆……”

“How dare you…”

“Such boldness! You must be tired of living for speaking like this to the ruler…”

Every single elder became utterly furious.

Jian Chen deeply frowned as well. The Tao family was just too arrogant. Even a mere Saint Ruler envoy was acting in such a cocky fashion before so many Saint Kings.

“Tai Dou, toss out the three of them,” Jian Chen coldly commanded. No matter what intentions they had come with, he did not plan on talking to them with how arrogantly they acted.

The envoy’s expression immediately changed when he heard that Jian Chen was about to throw them out of the clan. He yelled, “Don’t you dare! I’m representing the Tao family…”

Once he reached that point, he was thrown out of the clan along with his two followers by Tai Dou. Although Tao Dou was heavily injured, he was still a Fifth Heavenly Layer Saint King. The envoy could not resist the frozen space.

Plop! Plop! Plop!

A hundred meters away, three muffled sounds could be heard The envoy and his followers heavily hit the ground. Although they were not injured, they were reduced to a mess.

The two followers silently climbed up and did not dare to say anything. However, the envoy was furious. When he had been thrown out by Tai Dou, he had been locked up by Spatial Force and was unable to control his body, making him come so close to the ground. How could he endure something like that as a mighty Saint Ruler.

At the same time, he had already subconsciously determined the Turtle clan had been defeated and that they should have treated him with plenty of respect and politeness. Yet, the situation was the exact opposite.

The envoy ignored the gleeful gazes of the clansmen from his suffering as he furiously charged back into the hall. He roared out, “How dare you! How dare you treat an envoy of the Tao family like this. You will regret your actions.”

A gleam of light flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes, and he said with a heavy voice, “Tai Dou, throw him out. If he charges in again, kill him immediately.”

“Yes sir,” responded Tai Dou as he arrived before the envoy. He extended his hand, about to throw him out.

“Wait!” The envoy had already been trapped by Tai Dou. Seeing how he was about to be tossed out yet again, he quickly shouted to make him stop. He said through gritted teeth, “I’ve come under the patriarch’s orders to deliver a message. After the message is delivered, I will leave immediately.” With that, the envoy felt like he was out of trouble, so he added something else, “If it weren’t for the patriarch’s orders, I wouldn’t be willing to come even if this mere Turtle clan had invited me! Hmph.”

“Speak! What did the patriarch want you to say?” Jian Chen emotionlessly ordered.

The envoy calmed down and unhappily stared at Jian Chen. He said, “The Turtle clan has attempted to take the grand quality crystal mines in possession of the Tao family time and time again, which has resulted in great losses for us. In the battle three days ago, a large number of experts and elites fell, so the Turtle clan had already caused an extremely great loss to the Tao family. As a result, the Turtle clan has fifteen days to pay up a billion grand quality crystal coins as compensation, or the clan will take corresponding measures against the Turtle clan.”

The elders of the Turtle clan began to tremble in rage after they heard what the envoy had to say. The Tao family was going more and more overboard. Even if they used everything they had, they probably would not be able to gather a hundred million, let alone a billion crystal coins. Although they had been in possession of some crystal mines for some time, it was just far too little time to make a grand sum.

“I have delivered the patriarch’s message. Farewell.” The envoy turned around in an attempt to leave.

“Wait!” Jian Chen stopped the envoy from leaving.

He turned around to look at Jian Chen as he coldly asked, “What is it, ruler?”

A gleam of heavy killing intent flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. He coldly answered, “Envoy, you would have been able to leave safely before you had said that, but now you can’t.”

The envoy’s expression changed. He growled, “What are you trying to do?”
