Chapter 2199: Location Exposed

However, just when the old man was about to leave his residence, a power that was terrifyingly shocking to him appeared. It directly seeped through the various formations outside the hall, forming a powerful barrier that encased the interior.

Sensing the terrifying pulses of energy that the barrier gave off, the old man’s face immediately changed drastically. He was unable to remain calm anymore. Fear filled his face.

“May I ask how our Thousand Leaf Empire has offended senior? I hope that senior can spare us,” the old man immediately clasped his hands politely as his heart was in turmoil. He thought that his empire had offended someone.

“What happened outside has nothing to do with you. Just stay here,” an old voice boomed out of nowhere in the hall.

“Yes, senior!”

At the same time, the two other Primordial realm experts from the three peak clans who never paid attention to the affairs around them roused due to the shockwaves outside the city. Just when they were about to leave where they cultivated, they were also locked in by a powerful barrier that prevented them from leaving.

At the location where they fought, Jian Chen slowly drew his sword out from the ancestor’s head. He wiped off the blood and stowed the sword away in his s.p.a.ce Ring. He looked behind him.

A fist-sized silver-white orb hovered there quietly. It shone with a hazy light and was quite enchanting.

Jian Chen knew that this white orb was what created the miniature world. Immediately, he made his way over and grabbed it. Afterwards, he turned back and carried the ancestor’s corpse, planning to leave.

This was because when he killed the ancestor, the gate to the miniature world had been opened. The shockwaves from their battle would naturally pour through the gateway and into the outside world. As a matter of fact, even his wolf’s howl had spread outside clearly. People would come to investigate very soon, so he could not stay here.

“I never thought you actually have the ability to kill a Primordial realm expert.”

But just when Jian Chen wanted to move, an old voice rang out behind him. Xu Ran, who was dressed in simple clothes, had appeared behind him silently.

She kept her presence concealed, so she was like a ghost. She moved around without creating any traces at all, so Jian Chen failed to discover when she had arrived. If it were not for her speaking out, Jian Chen would not have even known that she was standing behind him.

“Senior Xu, when did you come?” Jian Chen clasped his hands at Xu Ran.

Xu Ran looked at Jian Chen deeply, “You’re someone who has shaken up the Saints’ World, but I just happened to owe you a huge favour. How can I not look out for you? I know everything you did in the Thousand Leaf Empire.” Even though Xu Ran’s cultivation level had regressed, she was still far greater than people at the same level of cultivation. It was impossible to compare her to Infinite Primes with the many methods and techniques she could use.

Jian Chen’s expression became rather unnatural. Suddenly, he discovered that he actually struggled to keep secrets from Xu Ran. She was actually able to spy on him silently without alerting him.

“Is this how terrifying Chaotic Primes are?” Jian Chen became alarmed.

Xu Ran looked at the white orb in Jian Chen’s hand. She said, “The orb in your hand is refined from a soul orb found in the heads of Oldworld Beasts. Oldworld beasts are an extremely ancient and rare species in the Saints’ World. In the current age in particular, Oldworld Beasts are almost extinct.”

“Every single Oldworld Beast will nurture a universe within themselves that will evolve into a real world. The soul orb in your hand is the greatest treasure in an Oldworld Beast. They’re extremely valuable.”

“That’s because miniature worlds created from the soul orbs of Oldworld Beasts have some special aspects. You probably know some of them already.”

Jian Chen could not help but properly study the orb in his hand. He had never thought that the orb would have such origins.

“It’s just a pity that the soul orb in your hand is of a limited quality, or it would be priceless,” Xu Ran sighed gently and said in some pity. Then she glanced at the Bloodbattle clan ancestor’s body, and she could not help but become stern. She said, “Let’s go. We can’t stay on planet Tianming any longer.”

Jian Chen followed Xu Ran’s gaze to properly study the corpse he carried. With that, his face immediately became ugly, as the corpse’s left hand formed a strange seal.

Jian Chen was familiar with this seal. All the wanted posters depicted them. It was the hand seals to contact the Solitary Sword Ancestor and the Azure Peng King. Clearly, the ancestor of the Bloodbattle clan had already used the seals when he opened a gate out of the miniature world before Jian Chen had managed to kill him.

Although Jian Chen could tell with a single glance that the ancestor had failed to complete the entire set of hand seals, the Solitary Sword Ancestor and the Azure Peng King were both exceptional peak experts. No one knew whether the incomplete set of seals would still be able to attract their attention.

“Let’s go!” Jian Chen called out and threw the ancestor’s corpse into the Anatta Tower. Immediately, he left with Xu Ran as quickly as possible.

The azure-clothed Qing Yixuan bid farewell to the scarred woman reluctantly in a rather run-down stone hut within a remote region of the imperial capital.

“Sister Zi Qingcheng, you have to wait for me. Once I become powerful enough, I’ll definitely come looking for you on planet Tianming,” Qing Yixuan hugged the woman tightly as determination flooded her eyes.

“Sister, just go. Don’t worry about me. You can’t forget that I’m a G.o.d. Although I’m not necessarily particularly powerful, I have just enough power to protect myself,” said Zi Qingcheng. She was filled with bitterness. Naturally, she knew that Qing Yixuan would suffer a fate no different than ending up in the hands of the Gus clan if she followed that young master Chang Yang, but the young master was someone that even the Gus clan could not afford to offend. Qing Yixuan was powerless to escape from his hands.

“Enough. Master is already urging me to take you towards the teleportation formation. We need to go,” at this moment, Hei Ya said from one side. He took out some divine crystals from his s.p.a.ce Ring to give to Zi Qingcheng before leaving with Qing Yixuan.

The Solitary Sword Ancestor sat on his meteor in a region of s.p.a.ce extremely distant from planet Tianming. He did not move at all and was just like a statue.

The Azure Peng King stood with his eyes closed beyond the meteor. He coldly stared at the sky full of stars.

“My subordinates will be able to find out about Jian Chen’s origins very soon. As long as I find out which organisation he belongs to and use that organisation as a threat, I refuse to believe he won’t show himself. Even if he abandons the organisations behind him, I can still find him. All I need is a droplet of blood from a relative of his, and I’ll be able to find where he’s hiding,” the Azure Peng King said coldly.

At this moment, the Solitary Sword Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes. His old eyes shone brightly as he stared at the depths of s.p.a.ce. He growled, “Someone has used the set of seals I left behind.”

The Azure Peng King’s killing intent soared with that, causing s.p.a.ce to distort violently. He said coldly, “No one is bold enough to use the method of contact we’ve left behind mindlessly. Since it has been used, someone must have found Jian Chen’s traces. Where is he?”

“The set of seals were not performed completely, but they’re directly connected to me after all. At the moment they were used, the laws of the world will change slightly, and I’ll be able to sense it with great precision. That place should be planet Tianming,” said the Solitary Sword Ancestor before immediately standing up.

“I’ll be leaving first!” The Azure Peng King turned into a huge, azure peng and shot off with great speed. In a flash, he crossed an unfathomable distance, disappearing into the depths of outer s.p.a.ce.

The Solitary Sword Ancestor, on the other hand, directly sunk into the interior of the meteor. There was a teleportation formation powerful enough to transport people across planes in there. He stood in the centre of the teleportation formation and tossed out a pile of five-colored divine crystals before vanis.h.i.+ng.

They were extremely distant from planet Tianming, so there was a lot of ground to cover. He was not as fast as the Azure Peng King, so the fastest method of travel for him was through teleportation formations.
