The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 904: Chapter 904: The Choice of Various Powers

Now, Chu Zhen was very humble in front of Jing Yan. He was only a Martial Artist at the Saint Realm First Stage. Knowing Jing Yan’s strength, he lost the courage to speak loudly in front of him.

Not only Chu Zhen, but the Chu Family members present also understood a principle at this moment, which was that Jing Yan simply did not care about their Chu Family. If it weren’t for the existence of Chu Lianxing, Jing Yan probably wouldn’t have paid any attention to the Chu Family at all.

How laughable and lamentable it was that they had been arguing about whether to agree to Jing Yan joining the Chu Family.

What Jing Yan’s subordinate said was not wrong at all; their Chu Family really was a bunch of ridiculous people.

Jing Yan single-handedly broke through the Netherworld Sect’s battle camp; this strength definitely reached the level comparable to a Half-step Void God. Their Chu Family had previously had such a pathetic attitude toward a being of that level.

After a long time, Chu Hongnan and the others finally calmed the shock in their hearts.

These people really had eyes but couldn’t recognize Gold and Jade!

The Chu Family Ancestor also subtly lowered his posture even more.

He initially thought that calling Jing Yan ”Daoist friend” would show his respect for Jing Yan. But now it seemed like he was just putting a golden face on himself.

”Alright, stop standing out here.”

”This Netherworld Sect battle camp is not bad; let’s modify it a bit, and it will serve as the new battle camp for the Chu Family. There’s also a Sect Suppressing Sacred Artifact called Ocean’s Woe here, which got slightly damaged when I attacked the camp. But before you came, I spent some time repairing it. The Chu Family can take control of Ocean’s Woe. The power of Ocean’s Woe is quite good; if the Chu Family controls it well, with a set of Chain Formations, it can completely withstand the full attacks of one or two ordinary Martial Artists at the Saint Realm Third Stage.” Jing Yan broke the silence and said slowly.

Ocean’s Woe, like the Rainbow Divine Bridge, was a large Holy Artifact, not easy to carry around. So, Jing Yan decided to leave Ocean’s Woe for the Chu Family.

The set of Chain Formations had also been repaired by Jing Yan and could now be used normally.

Everyone entered the battle camp.

”Chu Clan Leader, what do you plan to do next?” Jing Yan asked, looking at Chu Hongnan.

”The Netherworld Sect has sent us messages multiple times, and I haven’t responded. Now, it’s time to reply.” Chu Hongnan said hastily.

”Hmm, ask them what they mean. If they are willing to withdraw from the gathering place and stay in their sect’s main base honestly, this matter can be settled.” Jing Yan nodded.

”Okay, I will send a message to the Netherworld Sect shortly.” Chu Hongnan said, then turned to Chu Xianlie, ”In the gathering place, our Chu Family discovered a new mineral source hiding a Divine Crystal Vein. We need to start mining the new source as soon as possible. Xianlie, you are in charge of this matter.”

”Yes!” Chu Xianlie responded excitedly.

That was a Divine Crystal Vein! Divine Crystals... are extremely important for Martial Artists in the Daoist Emperor Realm and Saint Realm.

If there were enough Divine Crystals, in the future, the Chu Family could produce more Saint Realm Martial Artists.

”As for the various ore veins controlled by forces in the gathering place...” Chu Hongnan hesitated, looking over at Jing Yan.

Depending solely on the Chu Family, they certainly couldn’t get the many forces to obediently let the Chu Family take a cut. Naturally, Chu Hongnan also wanted to gain more benefits. The problem was, if Jing Yan didn’t help, the Chu Family would be powerless.

”Didn’t the Netherworld Sect take half of the benefits? The Chu Family can be more generous, only taking 40%.” Jing Yan understood Chu Hongnan’s concern and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chu Hongnan and the others understood that Jing Yan was willing to help the Chu Family achieve this, and they were overjoyed. As long as Jing Yan helped, those forces wouldn’t dare to act rashly.

”Hmm, I will now notify the various forces of this matter.” Chu Hongnan nodded.

”Don’t send people there first; let them bring over the portion belonging to the Chu Family. If they cooperate, there will naturally be no problem. The Chu Family can send people to monitor the mining situation. If they don’t cooperate, I will handle it.” Jing Yan said after thinking.

Chu Hongnan immediately understood what Jing Yan meant.

With the Netherworld Sect driven out of the gathering place, some forces might have other plans. This was normal; there were over ten Second Grade Forces in the gathering place. The Chu Family was a Second Grade Force like them. It was impossible for them to be willing to let the Chu Family take a cut. If the Chu Family directly sent people over, they might secretly kill them.

Letting them send the portion over first would reveal who was unwilling to cooperate.

”Jing Yan, you have thought this through very well,” Chu Hongnan said with a smile, flattering him.

”Chu Clan Leader, then you can go handle your business. No need to accompany me. If you need help, come find me.” Jing Yan waved.

”Alright.” Chu Hongnan and the others left.

...

In the Netherworld Sect’s main base.

”Hmph, Chu Hongnan really thinks he can compete with my Netherworld Sect, truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth.”

”Haha, asking the Netherworld Sect to give up the Chaotic Land?”

”What is he thinking in his head?” Dong Ze sneered contemptuously.

”Sect Master, should we follow the plan?” someone asked in front of Dong Ze.

”Hmm, go ahead. Let the Chu Family have their moment of pride; the higher they fly, the heavier they fall.” Dong Ze coldly chuckled and nodded.

...

”The Chu Family wants to take 40%?”

”Hahaha, what gives them the right? Do they really think they can replace the Netherworld Sect?” a Commander of a Second Grade Force’s battle camp laughed scornfully after receiving the Chu Family’s message.

”Lord Commander, the Chu Family now has strong assistance. Even the Netherworld Sect has to retreat from the gathering place. If we don’t cooperate, the Chu Family might act against us,” a Deputy Commander said.

”I would like to see how the Chu Family can do anything to our Lin Family! It’s laughable. They want us to send the portion to them. Chu Hongnan is really arrogant. I don’t believe that if we don’t send the resources over, the Chu Family can destroy our Lin Family’s battle camp.” The Lin Family Commander said with a glint in his eye.

The Lin Family Commander clearly did not believe that the Chu Family had the ability to control the Quicksand Divine Domain. At the same time, he was certain the Netherworld Sect would not just let the Chu Family grow.

Another Second Grade Force’s battle camp.

”Lord Commander, should we agree to the Chu Family’s request?” The Deputy Commander asked.

”Of course, we should comply. The Netherworld Sect took 50%, and the Chu Family only wants 40%. By comparison, the Chu Family controlling the gathering place is much better than the Netherworld Sect.” The Commander of the battle camp said.

”But...” The Deputy Commander frowned.

”No buts. I feel that the Quicksand Divine Domain is about to change. In the future, it will be controlled by the Chu Family. That Jing Yan is not someone the Netherworld Sect can deal with.” The Commander of the battle camp said.

”Understood. We will prepare to send the portion to the new battle camp of the Chu Family.” The Deputy Commander responded.

In the gathering place of the Quicksand Divine Domain, many forces made their own choices. Over ten Second Grade Force battle camps, and several stronger Third Grade Force battle camps, most of them chose to send 40% of their resources to the Chu Family’s battle camp.
