Chapter 2649: The War Ends

“Little junior brother, let the people of the Tian Yuan clan stay in the Neptunean Divine Palace for now. I’m afraid that the Nine Brilliance Star Lord will direct his wrath onto the Tian Yuan clan,” Chu Jian added. It was impossible for their Martial Soul lineage to fend off an expert like the Nine Brilliance Star Lord with the strength that they possessed. They could only hide on the Martial Soul Mountain.

The Martial Soul Mountain was the Martial Soul lineage’s final and toughest line of defence.

As they conversed, Yun Ziting and Su Qi returned from outside. Clearly, they had gone through an intense battle because they were now covered in blood.

However, it was not their blood, but the blood of enemies.

Moreover, the two of them seemed rather exhausted; this was the result of overusing Martial Soul Force.

“What? Eighth junior brother, you really killed the young star lord?”

Yun Ziting and Su Qi had not learnt of the young star lord’s death yet. They were stunned when they received the news.

However, that was all. They did not blame Jian Chen. As Hun Zang had said, their Martial Soul lineage would not go looking for trouble, but that did not mean they were afraid of trouble.

They were rather similar to Jian Chen in this aspect.

“Hahaha, good job killing him. How can you not kill him after he has hara.s.sed you like this? If you’re so hesitant and fearful, that won’t match up to how our Martial Soul lineage does things.” Yun Ziting laughed aloud. He was at great ease, casting a gaze of commendation towards Jian Chen.

“Call back seventh and sixth junior brother. The young star lord is dead, so the Nine Brilliance Star Lord will never just drop the matter. We need to return to the Martial Soul Mountain immediately,” Su Qi said sternly.

The successors of the Martial Soul lineage were all very stern. They planned on returning to the Martial Soul Mountain as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Jian Chen, the source of all of this, seemed very composed. However, he did understand the thoughts and feelings of his seniors.

There really were not many people in the Saints’ World who could bear the wrath of the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. After all, he was a terrifying existence who had reached the apex of the world, only second to Grand Exalts who were literally the heavenly ways themselves. Even renowned peak organisations in the Saints’ World would not be able to avoid destruction if they offended such an expert.

However, based on what Dao Jiu told him, Jian Chen did not worry too much about the Nine Brilliance Star Lord’s revenge. As a result, he was calm and composed.

“Seniors, you don’t have to worry about me. Recently, a senior from the Dao clan visited our Tian Yuan clan. He said that due to some reasons, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord won’t touch the Tian Yuan clan any time soon,” said Jian Chen. Although this was the first time he had seen Dao Jiu, he believed that Dao Jiu definitely was not someone who would trick him.

“What? The Dao clan? One of the archean clans, the Dao clan?” Hun Zang and the others were surprised when they heard that.

Any organisation referred to as an archean clan would have existed for an entire aeon at the very least. They were tremendous, immovable existences in the Saints’ World. They feared nothing and could even scorn the world; this was because no one, apart from Grand Exalts, could do anything to them.

Seeing Jian Chen nod, Hun Zang immediately followed up with another question. “What was his name?”

“Dao Jiu,” replied Jian Chen.

“Dao Jiu?” Hun Zang murmured as his brows furrowed in thought. Afterwards, he shook his head gently. “Although the Dao clan is reclusive, they haven’t completely contact cut off from the outside world. I’ve basically heard of all their peak experts who possess some renown, but Dao Jiu isn’t among them. Perhaps he’s one of the few people that I don’t know.”

“However, any archean clan in the Saints’ World is far more terrifying than the Nine Brilliance Star Lord. It’s just that basically all of them are reclusive. Rarely do they show themselves in the Saints’ World, so barely anyone knows about their existence.”

Hun Zang paused. After careful consideration, he said, “Since this comes from an expert of an archean clan, the information is trustworthy. Of course, you should still be more careful.”

Afterwards, Qing Shan and Bai Rufeng returned to the Tian Yuan clan together. However, they did not stay for long. They left with Hun Zang and everyone else after a short conversation with Jian Chen, returning to the Martial Soul Mountain to prepare for the worst-case scenario.

Jian Chen remained in the Tian Yuan clan. He did not return to the Martial Soul Mountain with everyone else. After all, the Cloud Plane was where the Tian Yuan clan’s foundations lay. Especially after these continuous trials, its foundation had become extremely st.u.r.dy. He just needed to wait for the clan to grow and blossom, so he really did not wish to take the Tian Yuan clan away from the Cloud Plane unless he had to.

Jian Chen lowered his head to glance at the s.p.a.ce Rings he was holding. These s.p.a.ce Rings were given to him by Hun Zang, Su Qi, and Qing Shan before they left. They did not hold any treasures; instead, they contained the corpses he required.

“Jian Chen, what do we do next? Do we leave the Cloud Plane?” Qing Yidao arrived before Jian Chen. She was not very affected at all. She had not spent a long time in the Tian Yuan clan, so she did not feel a fierce sense of belonging to it. She felt nothing towards the Cloud Plane either, so she did not really care about whether they left or stayed.

All the people gathered there looked over after hearing Qing Yixuan’s question. They were all nervous and uneasy.

Most of them did not want to leave, but they knew that this was not a decision for them to make. It would be up to Jian Chen.

That was all because Jian Chen was everything to the Tian Yuan clan.

After some thought, Jian Chen called out, “Mo Xingfeng!”

“Patriarch!” Mo Xingfeng immediately stepped forward from the crowd, clasping his fist at Jian Chen.

“Immediately go and retake the territory of the Pingtian Empire. Rebuild the empire,” ordered Jian Chen.

Mong Xingfeng beamed from that. Jian Chen’s orders had just announced to everyone that the Tian Yuan clan would not be leaving the Cloud Plane.

Immediately, many of the members of the upper echelon were overjoyed. Of course, some of them were worried about the Nine Brilliance Star Lord’s vengeance.

“Are protector Xue, protector Xing, protector Bai, and protector Mei present?” Jian Chen called out.

“Patriarch!” The four protectors all stood forward and greeted Jian Chen politely.

“a.s.sist Mo Xingfeng in retaking the lands of the Pingtian Empire. Rebuild the Pingtian Empire as quickly as possible.”

“Yes, patriarch,” the four protectors replied.

“Xi Yu, you will be responsible for repairing the Tian Yuan clan and rebuilding the provincial city,” Jian Chen then said to Xi Yu.

“Patriarch, what should we do with the Heavenly Moon Empire?” Xi Yu asked. The Heavenly Moon Empire’s betrayal had completely infuriated her. Now that the Tian Yuan clan had regained power, the first thing she thought of was the Heavenly Moon Empire.

“Deal with the Heavenly Moon Empire however you want.”

After handing over roughly everything, Jian Chen became the irresponsible leader again, paying no more attention to the repair and operation of the Tian Yuan clan. He left it all to Xi Yu and the upper echelon of the Tian Yuan clan to handle.

He arrived in the forbidden grounds of the Tian Yuan clan with Shangguan Mu’er and the heavily-injured Nubis. He took out various G.o.d Tier pills to a.s.sist Nubis’ healing.

At the same time, the tides turned in the intense battles in the central, eastern, and northern regions with Tong Wuming, Zhou Zhidao, and Lieyan Wuji’s return. The armies of the Four Symbols Alliance immediately collapsed before the three Grand Primes. All the Chaotic Primes were slain.

Without any Grand Primes, the Four Symbols Alliance immediately collapsed. Over eighty percent of their Primordial realm experts were slain. Having run out of choices in the end, they surrendered to the Righteous Alliance.

The Righteous Alliance did not slaughter the entire Four Symbols Alliance. They accepted the surrender from their lingering forces, and all the cultivators who survived became prisoners.

Now, the Cloud Plane, which had fallen into upheaval after the Heavenless Demon Exalt, had finally settled down completely. The entire plane became just as peaceful as before.
