Chapter 3326: The Lord of the Peace Region (Two)
Several tens of thousand kilometres away from Sword Emperor city, a ball of resplendent light shot across the sky above a barren grassland. It was like a meteor, vanishing into the distance with extremely great speed.
Deafening rumbles echoed within the ball of light, together with powerful pulses of energy, which formed a terrifying storm that swept through the air.
Three figures vaguely appeared in the ball of light. They brushed past one another with lightning speed. Whenever they clashed, there would be a violent explosion. The residual sword Qi and energy rained down on the land below, immediately covering it with holes. Colossal pits appeared one after another.
This was the battle between the Heaven Fighting Ruler, the Jade Heaven Ruler, and the Blood Slaughter Ruler. They moved as they fought with extremely great speeds, almost crossing through a good part of the Peace region. Currently, they approached Sword Emperor city rapidly.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler fought against the two of them and had already gained the upper hand. He forced the Jade Heaven Ruler and Heaven Fighting Ruler to work together, just in case they were defeated individually.
With eight ancestral imprints, the Blood Slaughter Ruler had already become the undisputed strongest in the Wood Spirits World!
“Three rulers, exactly how great is your feud that you fight with such intensity?”
But at this moment, a voice that the three rulers found familiar rang out from the distance. A figure in white robes silently appeared in the path of the three rulers, levitating in the air in the same seated position as always.
He was obviously Jian Chen, who had rushed over here from Sword Emperor city!
“It’s you?”
The three rulers immediately recognised him, which made their eyes narrow. Even the expression of the Blood Slaughter Ruler could not help but change when he saw Jian Chen despite his eight ancestral imprints.
The sight of Jian Chen directly destroying one of the Demonic Dragon Ruler’s heads clearly appeared in the minds of the three rulers again. All three rulers feared the Profound Sword Qi in Jian Chen’s possession.
The Demonic Dragon Ruler was so powerful, yet it could not even withstand a single strand of Profound Sword Qi from him. The power behind the Profound Sword Qi gave them chills.
The three rulers that were locked in an intense battle all stopped fighting with Jian Chen’s appearance. They hovered in the air, all staring at him.
Jian Chen glanced deeply at the eight ancestral imprints over the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s head and smiled calmly. He said steadily, “Rulers, you’ve caused quite a disturbance in the Peace region with your battle. Why don’t you sit down and talk and resolve this in a peaceful manner?”
None of the three rulers acknowledged Jian Chen’s words. Resolving their conflict in a peaceful manner? That was already a matter of the past.
They frowned. The Blood Slaughter Ruler directly asked Jian Chen, “Why are you here?”
“I originally resided in seclusion near here,” said Jian Chen.
The Blood Slaughter Ruler squinted his eyes, which shone with sharp, cold light. He said sternly, “Jian Chen, are you interfering with our matters?”
“You can’t say that. Your battle has almost destroyed my residence, so I’ve been forced to make an appearance.” Jian Chen chuckled.
The Jade Heaven Ruler’s eyes shone. After a moment of hesitation, she seemed to make some kind of decision. Suddenly, she said to Jian Chen, “Jian Chen, with your current strength, you should possess a territory of your own. Why don’t we let you take the Peace region? How’s that?”
The Heaven Fighting Ruler’s eyes narrowed slightly when he heard that, but he soon realised what she was going after. Immediately, he smiled mysteriously. “I have no objections over the Peace region becoming fellow Jian Chen’s territory. From now onwards, fellow Jian Chen is the master of the Peace region.”
“What? The Peace region is now my territory? I’m the master of the Peace region?” Jian Chen blanked out when he heard that. He was stunned.
Becoming the master of the Peace region? Controlling the entire Peace region? That was something he had never considered before.
Right now, all he thought about was how to heal. Everything he did was for the sake of recovering. He really had no interest in dominating and ruling anything.
“That’s right. With fellow Jian Chen’s strength, you’re more than qualified to become the master of the Peace region. Both Jade Heaven and I completely support this.” The Heaven Fighting Ruler chuckled, striking while the iron was still hot and directly pushing the position of the lord of the Peace region onto Jian Chen.
Whether it was the Heaven Fighting Ruler or the Jade Heaven Ruler, they had both noticed the Blood Slaughter Ruler’s determination to obtain the Peace region. Unfortunately, the Blood Slaughter Ruler had become far too powerful, where the two of them lost the upper hand even when working together. Under such a precarious situation, both of them would pay an extremely hefty price if they wanted to maintain the Peace region’s independence.
As a matter of fact, it was completely impossible for them to maintain that.
As a result, they had no other choice but to directly give the Peace region to Jian Chen.
With that, if the Blood Slaughter Ruler still wanted the Peace region, then he would obviously have to oppose Jian Chen, allowing them to gain an additional ally.
“This isn’t something that the two of you can decide.” The Blood Slaughter Ruler’s face was extremely sunken. He turned towards Jian Chen. “Jian Chen, the Peace region is a matter between the three of us. You shouldn’t get involved. The two of them are giving the Peace region to you to rope you in against me. It’s completely motivated by ill will.”
The Blood Slaughter Ruler was also extremely fearful of Jian Chen.
Of course, he was only fearful of Jian Chen’s Profound Sword Qi!
The Jade Heaven Ruler said, “The Peace region in the past had always been independent of our three domains. Only with the independence of the Peace region can we ensure peace in our three domains. However, now that the Blood Slaughter Ruler has obtained eight ancestral imprints, he believes his strength has surpassed Heaven Fighting and me, so he wants to break our original agreement and take the Peace region for himself. That was why the battle today occurred.”
“Jian Chen, if you become the lord of the Peace region, not only will you have your own territory, but you’ll also receive the full support from Heaven Fighting and me. Of course, the most important part is this is the only way to resolve the disaster that the Peace region is currently facing.”
“Becoming the lord of the Peace region is equivalent to saving all the lives in the Peace region. Otherwise, if the three of us continue fighting here, the consequences will be unthinkable.”
“That’s because we will never strike a compromise over the Peace region with the Blood Slaughter Ruler,” the Jade Heaven Ruler said resolutely.
Jian Chen smiled wryly. “Then according to you, it’s in fact a deed of great compassion if I become the lord of the Peace region?”
“Blood Slaughter has been scheming after the Peace region with so much determination, so I definitely don’t think it’s just for a piece of territory. I’m certain that the Peace region is hiding some kind of secret that even Jade Heaven and I don’t know about. Jian Chen, if you become the lord of the Peace region, wouldn’t you be able to investigate the secret that might exist here better?” the Heaven Fighting Ruler added, determined to drag Jian Chen into this matter.
Once Jian Chen became the lord of the Peace region, it would not just be his and Jade Heaven’s matter if the Blood Slaughter Ruler still wanted to claim the Peace region for himself. Jian Chen would also be involved.
