Chapter 887: Ruler’s Qi

“Warriors, it doesn’t seem like a good idea to just brush aside an invitation from the esteemed hall elders,” Dahan and Tanishq said with troubled expressions.

Within the Heaven’s Spirit Hall, being invited by the hall elders was a grand honor. It was indicative of someone’s status; an invitation like that could make anyone wildly ecstatic. No one ever turn it down.

Dahan and Tanishq felt rather shocked by how Jian Chen’s group declined the invitation so straightforwardly. The two of them had never imagined such an outcome.

Jian Chen, Nubis and Xie Wang paid no more attention to the two of them. They left the inn after paying off their fees for staying. They stayed no longer than a moment in the city, immediately leaving the city at top speed and travelling towards the territory of the Sea Goddess Hall.

Dahan and Tanishq frowned greatly as they watched the group fly off. They had failed the hall elder’s mission, so they could not just return like that. All they could do was watch on helpless as the three of them left. Their strength was insufficient to obstruct Jian Chen’s group.

“What do we do now? How would we report it to the hall elders?” Tanishq said grimly.

Dahan sighed gently, “Let’s just report it just as what happened. There’s nothing else to say other than that.”

Dahan and Tanishq sent a message to the hall elders using a special tool of communication, reporting everything exactly as what had happened.

Five hall elders had already gathered in the huge floating hall in the centre of the Heaven’s Spirit Hall’s territory. They had all received the command of the hall master to pour all their efforts into searching for the Abyssal Crystal, which was why they had all gathered together, currently discussing over the matter.

“Good. The two elders of the Serpent God Hall are already on their way to our hall. We’ll be able to find the people they’re pursuing before them that way. I’d like to see if our guess is right or not. We would’ve done committed a great deed if the crystal really is with the three of them.” The speaker was a well-mannered, middle-aged man. He wore long white robes and seemed refined and educated; he seemed like a scholar.

The man was called Mu He. He was a hall elder of the Heaven’s Spirit Hall, one of the experts only second to the hall master.

The old man beside Mu He closed his eyes, before curling his lips into a slight sneer, “I’ve just received a message. I sent some people to invite the three of them, but not only did they turn it down, they even ran off. They don’t even want to come near us. Looks like the three of them really are fishy.”

“Let’s send elders across if that’s the case. We need to get them to stay,” Mu He said calmly.

“I’ve already sent two elders. However, the problem’s the distance. It’ll take some time for them to travel, so all we can do is wait patiently right now. I sure there will be good news soon.”

…

Jian Chen, Nubis and Xie Wang flew as fast as they could. Jian Chen’s wounds had already been silently healed by a strand of his Radiant Saint Force origin energy, allowing him to make a full recovery. He was back in peak condition.

Jian Chen knew that both the Serpent God Hall and the Heaven’s Spirit Hall possessed supreme secret techniques that could find their whereabouts. Erasing their presence was useless, and even hiding in the saint artifact would not work. This was why they not bother with concealing themselves at all, flying over countless tribes of different sizes as they radiated with their huge presence. They went straight for the territory of the Sea Goddess Hall.

Every tribe and clan in the sea realm was fiercely territorial. It was forbidden for anyone to fly their their territory without their permission, or it would be taken as an open provocation that would rarely be dismissed so easily. As a result, the trio ended up offending many tribes and clans as they flew.

However, most of them were powerful. They immediately shut up and turned a blind eye as soon as they sensed that the three of them all radiated with peak 14th Star presences. They did not follow up on their rude actions.

However, not all of them feared the trio. With a long whistling of wind, an old man immediately shot into the sky with a grand presence when they flew through the space of a large organisation. He chased the three of them furiously.

“How dare you little brats! How dare you trespass on my Shunyue clan! You completely look down on us. Stay behind and name yourselves! Or I’ll have to take some actions against you all!” The ancestor of the Shunyue clan roared. He fused with the surrounding space to chase them through the use of Spatial Force, reaching a speed several times greater than the three of them.

The Shunyue clan was one of the strongest clans in the radius of hundreds of thousand kilometers. They were equivalent to an ancient clan on the Tian Yuan Continent. They were renowned as they possessed a Saint King.

“It’s a 15th Star Seasoul Warrior!” Xie Wang’s complexion changed when he sensed the presence of the old man from behind.

The three of them knew that they could not outrun Saint Kings, so they all stopped. Nubis stared at the old man as he flew over with a sunken face and swore, “You dare to act so arrogantly just because you’re a puny First Heavenly Layer Saint King? Allow grandfather Nubis to teach you a solid lesson.”
