The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 897: Chapter 897: The Clay Ox Enters the Sea

Hearing the response from second brother, Chu Xianlie felt a bit awkward.

However, he still maintained a humble demeanor.

Now he finally knew the strength of the second brother and his group’s power; five Saint Realm Third Stage cultivators were killed just like that. That was the Saint Realm Third Stage! In the entire Chu Family, only one ancestor had reached the Saint Realm Third Stage!

”Our Chu Family owes Jing Yan a great debt of gratitude. I will certainly report the detailed situation to the clan leader.” Chu Xianlie then said solemnly.

The second brother didn’t bother to say much more.

What the Chu Family does or what they plan to do has nothing to do with them, these puppets. They came out of the Death Temple this time to follow Jing Yan and will only obey Jing Yan’s orders. They are not interested in anything else nor do they care about the world’s resources, for they cannot cultivate, and no amount of resources would be of any use to them.

”By the way, Jing Yan said he was going to the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp to get an explanation. He went alone, and I’m a bit worried. Should we... also head over now? If a conflict arises, we could assist Jing Yan.” Chu Xianlie furrowed his brow, looking at the second brother and the other puppets.

”Jing Yan did not instruct us to go and support him.”

”Besides, if he wanted, he could easily level the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp. Let’s just wait here.” The second brother shook his head.

”I see...” Chu Xianlie didn’t know what else to say.

”Fellow Daoists, I’m a bit worried about Jing Yan’s safety and want to go to the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp to have a look.” Chu Lianxing said to the second brother and the other puppets.

She was indeed quite worried about Jing Yan. She knew that Jing Yan’s subordinates were puppets, but in front of others, she still addressed the second brother and the other puppets as fellow Daoists.

Although she knew Jing Yan was at the Saint Realm Third Stage and had seen him easily tear through the array formation energy barrier of this space.

However, she still couldn’t suppress her worry for her son.

The second brother looked at Chu Lianxing and frowned.

”Second brother, why don’t we go and have a look?” Old Seven said, ”We’re just waiting here anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to take the warship to meet Jing Yan?”

”Alright! Then let’s set off and have a look.” The second brother nodded.

After all, he still wanted to give Chu Lianxing face. After all, Chu Lianxing was Jing Yan’s mother, and they couldn’t treat her like an ordinary Chu Family member.

”Third brother, you and I will first remove this isolation array.” The second brother turned to the third brother and said.

”Alright.” The third brother nodded.

The two puppets flew out, wielding long knives, sweeping the entire space with black blade lights.

In no time, the isolation array barrier was completely destroyed, and the world returned to normal.

Chu Xianlie instructed the people controlling the warship to fly towards the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp while simultaneously transmitting a message to the Chu Family Patriarch, Chu Hongnan, through a Communication Crystal Stone.

Inside the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp.

Lu Chen was waiting for news from Bai Anshu.

Not long before, Bai Anshu had conveyed that they had already started the operation, but there had been no further messages since.

”The time should be about right. Why hasn’t there been any new information?” Lu Chen took out the Communication Crystal Stone and found no new messages.

With five Saint Realm Third Stage experts dealing with the people of the Chu Family Camp, Lu Chen believed there was no possibility of failure.

By calculations, the fight should have ended already. With five Saint Realm Third Stage experts attacking, what could the Chu Family possibly do to resist? Even with the power of a Holy Artifact-level warship, they wouldn’t hold out for long.

Lu Chen couldn’t help but send another message to Bai Anshu, but the message seemed to disappear, with no response.

”Damn it, Bai Anshu, what the hell are you doing?” Lu Chen cursed under his breath.

He had previously instructed Bai Anshu that as soon as they dealt with the Chu Family Camp, he was to report back immediately so that Lu Chen could plan the next move.

The Chu Family Camp getting ambushed and annihilated while returning from the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp would undoubtedly cause a huge wave in the Quicksand Divine Domain gathering spot. Therefore, Lu Chen needed to make advanced preparations. Yet now, Bai Anshu had not sent any confirmation message.

With no response from Bai Anshu, Lu Chen decided to send a message to the two Netherworld Sect Supreme Elders who went to ambush the Chu Family Warship.

But to his surprise, the two Netherworld Sect Supreme Elders also did not respond.

”What is going on?”

”What are they doing? Could it be that after all this time, they haven’t managed to kill everyone on the Chu Family Warship?” Lu Chen paced back and forth in the room, feeling anxious.

”Boom!”

At that moment, an energy pressure enveloped the entire Netherworld Sect Battle Camp.

The formation of the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp was immediately activated.

In this world, the light of the array formation flickered and surged to resist the energy waves descending from the sky.

”What’s happening?”

”Is someone trying to break into the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp?”

”Such boldness, who dares to seek death!” Lu Chen’s face turned cold, eyes flashing with murderous intent, and he rushed out of the room.

Not only he, but the Deputy Commander of the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp and many guards also gathered.

”Lord Commander!”

”Lord Commander, look up there, someone is hovering in the sky.”

As soon as Lu Chen appeared, the Deputy Commander and the Guard Captain reported. One of them pointed upwards at a cyan figure.

The cyan figure was naturally Jing Yan.

Jing Yan, using the Seventh Layer of Sky Wings, flew from where the Chu Family Warship was ambushed back to the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp, which didn’t take much time.

”It’s you?” Lu Chen’s eyes flickered as he recognized Jing Yan.

How could Jing Yan be here? Jing Yan, didn’t he leave with the Chu Family on the warship? By now, he should have been ambushed or even killed.

Why has he suddenly appeared above the Netherworld Sect Battle Camp? Could it be that this person didn’t leave with the Chu Family?

”Lu Chen, we meet again.” Jing Yan smiled as he looked at Lu Chen and the others from the Netherworld Sect.

”You have a lot of guts, daring to break into our Netherworld Sect Battle Camp. Are you tired of living?” Lu Chen’s mind raced with thoughts, but he shouted angrily.

”Lu Chen, you must find it curious that I’m here, right?” Jing Yan smiled.

”What do you mean?” Lu Chen’s heart thumped as he glared.

”Why pretend to be clueless? The Old Sect Master of the Jade Book Sect, the two Supreme Elders of the Netherworld Sect, and the two Supreme Elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect of the Flame God Domain ambushed the Chu Family members on their way back. Would Lord Commander Lu Chen not know about this?” Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Lu Chen below.
