Chapter 1380: Pillfire City Submits (2/2)
Jiang Chen burst out laughing “I’ve seen a lot of shameless people, but you’re definitely the creaested to Pillzenith to capture Xu Qingxuan, correct? What? Is Pillfire City the only party allowed to use such underhanded techniques? A counterattack on similar terms is somehow forbidden?”
Tallpeak’s face colored with eood response to the accusation He knew that nothing he said would be particularly useful
“Alright, Jiang Chen! Your intellect has triuive and forget? Tellmaster Tian Lin?”
He didn’t want to use any abrasive words Any provocation against Jiang Chens came to that, he would be despised by Emperor Pillzenith for life
The experts from the other sects were depressed just the same If Emperor Pillzenith’s son was in enemy hands, that was a chokehold over the city’s pulse Hoere they supposed to fight Jiang Chen or Veluriyam Capital?
The attack on Veluriyam Capital was probably dropped, unless E to sacrifice his son as prea master Tian Lin was Emperor Pillzenith’s most favored son Furtherh hopes for hi didn’t dare mouth off He knew very well how much Pillzenith treasured this son of his If the Heavenly Dragon Sect was responsible for the youth’s death, Pillfire would instantly likely turn on the sect over its feud with Veluriyah the lord of the Eternal Celestial Capital deeply wished to kill Jiang Chen on the spot, the circumstances before him told him that that was already unrealistic
The Empyrean River Palace and the Subliin with It was completely understandable for the his status and their own
The atreat ele youth depressed all Pillfire’s eood deal None of them was satisfied with the current state of affairs
Jiang Chen s to let o? Just like that? Would you let so Chen’s rhetoric stopped all possible retort If they were in his shoes, they would take full advantage of a captured Xu Qingxuan to black Chen to no end There was no way they would’ve let her go Sih The reverse of that – Xu QingxuanChen’s hands – evoked a sense of absurdity in all of the experts from Pillfire
Even the traditionally clever Tallpeak, ems, didn’t knohat to say What could he even do in this spot? Was it possible to force his opponent to back off by swearing vengeance and escalating?
He couldn’t actually do nothing, though
“You have the upper hand, Jiang Chen,” sighed Tallpeak “You can be as proud as you like You should know very well, though, that although young ood card to play, much of his value is determined by how you use him If you do so poorly, a battle to the death between the two giants isn’t necessarily to your benefit”
“To the death?” Jiang Chen laughed “Wasn’t that what you were planning on? I’ your wishes, aren’t I?”
This was a resounding slap to both e their faces, and both men wanted to find a deep fissure to dive into
“Jiang Chen, we’re not at that point yet You should know that if Pillfire and Veluriyaht to the death, it’s extremely likely that your city will be utterly destroyed Do you really want that to happen? If you release young master Tian Lin, we can discuss an alternative”
Tallpeak was trying to win Jiang Chen over through reasoning He wanted the youth to go hat he perceived as the flow
Jiang Chen didn’t believe a word of it “Get your facts straight, old man Firstly, Veluriyam isn’t scared of Pillfire one bit Your patchwork arether only byprinciple behind your forces An alliance like that is ator of this fahtly should! Lastly, you should right your attitude if you want an alternative Do I look like I care?”
In truth, Jiang Chen had no interest whatsoever in any alternative save for war Still, his own reason told him that full-on conflict with Pillfire ieous for Veluriyarels, it and the four first rank sects presented a surprisingly potent co Chen wasn’t scared, but the rest of Veluriyaood ti master Tian Lin hed “Pillfire City’s attitude is right here We ask only for young ive all your prior offenses, given that”
Forgive all prior offenses?
Jiang Chen snickered internally He and Pillfire wanted drastically different things Emperor Pillzenith’s conspiracy behind Eotten that easily
