Chapter 2821: The Fifth Divine Hall’s Promise (1/2)

However, what was his identity back then? He was merely a backgroundless independent cultivator, and it was the first time he had entered the Darkstar World too. He was clearly out of his mind if he thought he could make these prodigies from peak organisations leave with a simple word.

Jin Hong had left because he obtained the droplet of Grand Exalt’s essence blood from him. From his perspective, refining the Grand Exalt’s essence blood was clearly even more important than what he could gain from the Darkstar race.

As for He Qianqian, why would she leave this place because of an insignificant warning?

“Looks like I need to find a way to force her to leave. The Hao family too. An ancestor of theirs is the commander of the divine generals of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. He has a close connection to Ming Dong. I need to get them to leave.” These thoughts flickered through Jian Chen’s head, but he showed nothing on the surface.

The mess in the Pantheon Divine Hall had been cleaned up very quickly, and a new table had been placed down. However, the new table was completely different from the one before. There was an order of seating this time, and Jian Chen and Bing Yuan were politely invited to take the seats of honour. The prodigies from the several dozen organisations all sat in seats of lower status.

“Esteemed hall master, may I ask if the God Tier heavenly resource offered up by our Heavenly Lightning clan, the Glazed Fruit of Scarlet Blood, is to your satisfaction or not?” Lei Yun from the Heavenly Lightning clan asked eagerly soon after Jian Chen had sat down. His eyes were filled with hope and anticipation.

They all understood the current protection from the fifth divine hall was only temporary, just to earn them some time to deliver what the fifth divine hall required. At the same time, this temporary protection could be lost at any time. Only when they received a promise from the mouth of the fifth hall master could they truly find peace.

As Lei Yun asked, many prodigies in the Pantheon Divine Hall became unsettled. The fifth divine hall had actually paid a personal visit to the Pantheon Divine Hall, which was something unprecedented. They all worried whether the fifth divine hall was giving them a final deadline.

As a matter of fact, some of the prodigies had even accepted the inevitable situation, ready to retreat from the World of the Fallen Beast and give up on everything they had built up here.

There were also a few organisations who had already prepared themselves to temporarily submit themselves to the Heavenly Lightning clan.

However, if it were for only a century of peace, it was simply far too horrible of a deal.

Jian Chen sat in the seat of honour and said nothing, and none of the prodigies in the Pantheon Divine Hall spoke either. Their gazes all just gathered on Jian Chen, filled with unease and a reluctance to accept the situation.

Jian Chen’s silence also suddenly unsettled Lei Yun too. Despite being filled with confidence a moment earlier, he had suddenly become rather nervous now.

Don’t tell me the Glazed Fruit of Scarlet Blood from our clan isn’t to the fifth hall master’s satisfaction? But the Glazed Fruit of Scarlet Blood is a God Tier heavenly resource through and through, Lei Yun thought. His forehead even became covered in a thin layer of sweat. The cold attitude of the fifth hall master also left him uneasy.

At this moment, a few sacrificial Godkings arrived in the Pantheon Divine Hall while escorting an exquisite, white jade box, handing it personally to the prodigy from the Jade Pill sect.

The prodigy from the Jade Pill sect immediately beamed. He accepted the jade box as he began to tremble slightly from excitement. He said to Jian Chen in the seat of honour, “Esteemed hall master, fortunately, we’ve managed to deliver what you asked for. The ancestor of our Jade Pill sect personally emerged to create this. We’ve successfully refined the God Tier pill you require, hall master. Please take a look.”

As he said that, the prodigy of the Jade Pill sect opened the white jade box. Immediately, a colourful haze emerged, and the fragrance of pills assaulted their noses. Inside the jade box quietly sat seven pills of different colours.

Everyone could tell with a single glance that these pills had not reached the God Tier. They were still just shy of God Tier.
