Chapter 1766: Taking the Mine by Force (1/2)
After a short moment of thought, Jian Chen asked the God again, “Do you know why the Empyrean Demon Cult is attacking the Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons? Did the divine kingdom offend them?”
Deep hatred appeared in the God’s eyes when the Empyrean Demon Cult was mentioned. He said, “Does the Empyrean Demon Cult need any reason to destroy the Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons? They’re a demonic cult. It’s not the first time that they’re wiping out divine kingdoms, sects, and clans.”
Jian Chen’s face changed slightly when he that. He asked, “Does the Empyrean Demon Cult do these things often?”
The God gazed at Jian Chen rather strangely and said, “That’s right. The Empyrean Demon Cult really does do things like that often. Don’t you know, senior?”
Jian Chen became stern. He was basically certain that the Empyrean Demon Cult was not trying to destroy the Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons because the divine kingdom had offended them, as this was just a common occurrence. What he was worried about right now was whether the Empyrean Demon Cult would continue towards the Divine Kingdom of Nine Stars or even the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian after they destroyed the Divine Kingdom of Three Cauldrons.
Although he did not care about these divine kingdoms, Jian Chen had planned to gain a stable footing in the Dong’an province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. It was impossible for the people who had followed him up to the Saints’ World to always run around with him. He had to find a place to settle them down.
Jian Chen did not dare to waste any more time after learning about the Empyrean Demon Cult’s movements. He immediately hurried off towards the Dong’an province of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian at full speed. From time to time, he would use the Linear Lightning Release.
In just seven days, Jian Chen crossed the entire Divine Kingdom of Nine Stars under his full speed and returned to the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
“I’ll need three more days at most to return to the Dong’an province,” Jian Chen gazed in the direction of the Dong’an province as he hovered in the sky. Afterwards, he used the Linear Lightning Release and disappeared as a streak of light.
However, he was unable to maintain the Linear Lightning Release for very long at all. He could only keep moving at the terrifying speed for less than a split second, or he would have returned to the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian long ago.
Two days later, Jian Chen finally returned to the Dong’an province. However, he did not make his way to Godking Duanmu’s dwelling. Instead, he flew towards the Dark Cloud Mountains.
He understood that with his current strength, he would be of no help even if he went to Godking Duanmu’s dwelling. The matter at hand was to increase his strength as quickly as possible. Once he reached the tenth layer of the Chaotic Body, he would be able to last a while even before late Overgods with the toughness of the Chaotic Body.
The powerful clans of the Dong’anprovince had taken over the Dark Cloud Mountains. There were over a dozen of them in total. They had all sent people there to mine the high grade divine crystals, and even the ancestors from their clans watched over the operation.
At this moment, two old men sat on a flat mountain top as they played chess and conversed. Two young women stood beside them, pouring tea for them courteously. From how carefully they behaved, they seemed to be afraid of spilling even a drop of tea.
“The disturbance from Godking Duanmu’s dwelling has already lasted for several years. I really wonder when it’ll end,” a gray-robed old man sighed gently.
