Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2908 - Hidden Killing Intent

Chapter 2908: Hidden Killing Intent

Jian Chen did not have too many doubts over what the Heartless Child had said, as if he were standing in the Darkstar races shoes and had paid a tremendous price to send out the Virtuous Sages of Heaven and Earth, he would also take restrictive precautions to prevent the two of them from escaping from their control, leading to a dead loss.

Moreover, he thought back to when he was among the Darkstar race and noticed the Virtuous Sage of Heavens behaviour when he faced the Darkstar Emperor. Even though the Virtuous Sage of Heaven was neither overly humble or arrogant in front of the Darkstar Emperor, he seemed to obey everything the Darkstar Emperor said, every single little order, without refuting even once.

As it seemed, they really were like lord and subject.

If he did not know the true identity of the Virtuous Sage of Heaven, then so be it. However, he already knew the Virtuous Sage of Heaven was the leader of the Myriad Bone Guild, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. A great figure like him who could kick up a storm in the Saints World actually behaved like that in front of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime like the Darkstar Emperor.

That also verified what the Heartless Child said.

Perhaps it was an overstatement to call it a slave imprint, but it could make the Virtuous Sages of Heaven and Earth obey the Darkstar Emperor.

Senior, arent you worried that news of this will reach the Darkstar race? Jian Chen asked in a seemingly-casual way, but actually, he was extremely cautious.

The Heartless Child glanced at Jian Chen deeply and said, Although some people in the Saints World do know about this, theyre all figures who stand at the apex. In their eyes, the fate of the Darkstar race is insignificant. They dont believe such a weak race is worth their attention at all. As for those among the lower realms of cultivation, youre the only one that knows about this.

Youre a clever person. You obviously know what you can divulge and what you cant... the Heartless Child said with a hint of threat. He smiled slightly mysteriously as he thought to himself, Moreover, you wont have the opportunity to enter the Darkstar World a second time...

The Heartless Child returned to the Saints World very quickly with Jian Chen. Escorted by him personally, Jian Chen crossed through the endless space with terrifying speed. Only when they reached just outside the Cloud Plane did they stop.

Were here already, Jian Chen. Originally, I fetched you from the Cloud Plane, and now, Ive brought you back here, so you can say weve come to a full circle. Youve helped us out with something major in the Darkstar World this time, so our Myriad Bone Guild owes you a huge favour. If you ever encounter any difficulties you cant deal with in the future, all you have to do is visit any of the branches our Myriad Bone Guild has established with this tablet. You can directly contact me through the branch. The Heartless Child passed a tablet to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen thanked him immediately. After accepting the tablet, he bid farewell to the Heartless Child before turning around and gazing at the tremendous piece of land hovering in the boundless space. His emotions stirred.

He had finally returned to the Cloud Plane!

In the depths of space, the Heartless Child did not travel far away. Instead, he hovered there, staring at the Cloud Plane that had already become the size of a fingernail. He showed a hint of pity.

A while later, he let out a gentle sigh and left resolutely. He strode through the vast space, where the surroundings would change with each step as if worlds were flying past.

After covering who knew how much distance, he finally arrived in a region that was deathly silent, entering a huge, hovering bone tower.

How was it?

As soon as the Heartless Child returned, an obscure voice rang out from the highest floor of the bone tower.

A small accident happened. Sheng Yi died, but it was relatively successful with Jian Chen. The only pity is that Jian Chen doesnt seem to trust me. He clearly knows that the divine beasts condition is worsening, but he never ended up asking me for help, the Heartless Child said with a sigh.

If thats the case, then well go with the second plan. If you look at the time, the Anatta Grand Exalt should be back soon. We have to make Jian Chen die at the hands of the Wind Venerable before the Grand Exalts return. Whether our Myriad Bone Guild can survive the calamity of the Wind Venerable will completely depend on this...

The Heartless Child became stern. He said solemnly, This has to do with our survival, so how can I be careless? I will personally arrange for this, just to be safe.

Do remember not to leave behind any traces at all. The ability of Grand Exalts are immense. You should know just how terrifying these supreme figures and existences equivalent to the heavenly ways are...

......

In the southern region of the Cloud Plane, in the Tian Yuan clan of the Pingtian Empire, Xi Yu currently sat in the main hall of the medium quality god artifact, the Watercloud Hall, as she listened to the work reports of her subordinates.

Yesterday, among the mines under our Tian Yuan clans possession, a total of eighteen low grade divine crystal mines, eight mid grade divine crystal mines, and three high grade divine crystal mines suffered severe losses at the same time, such that we lost as much as ninety percent of all the divine crystals we had mined in the past month. An initial estimation of the loss would be roughly a hundred million supreme grade divine crystals.

Moreover, among the two supreme grade divine crystal mines that belong to our Tian Yuan clan, we discovered that there are signs of severe embezzlement after our detailed investigation. Most of the mined divine crystals end up in the hands of the various levels of management. The amount that gets handed up to the clan in the end is less than half of the total...

Listening to her subordinates report, Xi Yus eyebrows were firmly locked together. She said with a sunken face, Weve sent Godking experts to guard the low grade, mid grade, and high grade divine crystal mines. In particular, with the high grade divine crystal mines, weve specially dispatched additional Godkings. Dont tell me that so many Godkings cant even stop a few bandits?

Xi Yu slammed the table in anger. She was furious. In just a month, weve lost almost a hundred million supreme grade divine crystals. Theyre mighty Godkings, yet they cant even watch a few divine crystal mines properly. Whats the point of our clan having them around?

The two supreme grade divine crystal mines too. How dare the management line their own pockets with divine crystals? Theyre out of their mind. What do they take the Tian Yuan clan for? Do they think its a private treasure trove for embezzlement and amassing resources? Investigate this. Get to the bottom of this for me. Uncover every single person thats involved.

The reporting subordinates all trembled as they stood below, their foreheads laced with cold sweat. They were troubled. Vice-leader, its very difficult for us to continue investigating this matter, as theyve done everything far too secretively. Even if we discover any traces of leads, we wont be able to produce any substantive evidence. Moreover, we discovered the traces of many protectors behind these matters. These protectors are all Primordial realm experts. Even if you tell us to investigate, we dont have the courage to.

Yeah, vice-leader. Do you still remember how a few supervisors vanished mysteriously a few months ago? In my knowledge, these supervisors noticed the abnormality with the divine crystal mines. They suddenly vanished after they looked deeper into the matter, and there still hasnt been any news of them at all. Something has probably already happened to them by now...
