Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2390: Deterrence

“Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance, I don’t think you really want to go up against our Heavenly Palace of Bisheng,” said Ming Xie. His armor shone blindingly, like a miniature sun in the dark outer space.

With the support of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, he felt no fear when he faced the infamous Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance of the Saints’ World.

The light in the Azure Peng King’s vicious eyes flickered. He would always glance across at Ming Dong.

On the surface, the Azure Peng King seemed extremely composed, but he was not even remotely calm on the inside. His heart surged.

He did not care about Ming Dong. What he truly cared about was the significance behind the position of the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

It meant that the Anatta Grand Prime of the seven Grand Exalts had not died over three million years ago as rumoured and was still alive.

“Azure Peng King, Jian Chen is a brother who I’ve gone through thick and thin with. If you dare to continue to target Jian Chen, I will never spare you in the future. Moreover, the Tian Yuan clan is my home. If you dare to destroy my home, I’ll never spare you. I’ll do everything I can to ask my first senior sister and my master to take action,” said Ming Dong. His voice was cold, and he was extremely forceful with his words. He was filled with resolution.

These words left the Azure Peng King utterly furious. What was his identity? He was the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance infamous across the entire Saints’ World, one of the four heavenly kings who reigned over the Loneheaven Plane. With how proud he was, the Azure Peng King immediately became filled with killing intent when he heard the disrespectful threats from a mere Godking. His anger had almost set his blood on fire, and he almost lost his rationality.

However, as soon as he thought about Ming Dong’s identity as the ninth majesty of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, he did not dare to do anything regardless of how furious he became.

He deeply understood just how terrifying those Grand Exalts who had comprehended the laws to the limits and could interfere with their operation were.

Their will could descend in any location within the Saints’ World. The concept of distance did not exist in the eyes of these experts across the vast Saints’ World.

Without any exaggeration, as long as they were in the Saints’ World, no one would dare to kill a Grand Exalt’s disciple.

As long as they tried, the Grand Exalt could descend the moment they struck out.

This was because Grand Exalts were the heavenly ways. They were the laws. They could reach any location in the Saints’ World in a single moment. They needed no travelling time.

The only way to kill a Grand Exalt’s disciple was to keep the Grand Exalt busy so that they could not free themselves.

In reality, the few dead majesties of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng had all fallen on the battlefield across the major wars in history when the Anatta Grand Exalt was busy with other experts of the same level.

At such times, even many Grand Exalt could barely look after themselves. They would face the threat of death, so they obviously would have no energy to protect their disciples.

The Azure Peng King sucked in a deep breath and made the killing intent in his heart settle. He stared at Ming Dong coldly and snorted. “If it weren’t for your master and first senior sister, you would only be an ant in my eyes. I wouldn’t even need to take personal action to kill you. Just a breath would be enough to annihilate you.”

Throwing that out there, the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance shot off instantly, vanishing into the depths of outer space.

In the end, he was still not bold enough to touch the Tian Yuan clan.

All the peak experts from the Righteous Alliance and the Four Symbols Alliance sank into their thoughts when they saw the Azure Peng King come aggressively but leave in such a miserable fashion in the end.

At that moment, they finally understood the origins of that Ming Xie who possessed extremely astonishing battle prowess.

At the same time, they realised that the speck-sized Tian Yuan clan had an astonishing support behind them.

They could not eavesdrop on Ming Xie’s conversation with the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance due to the formation Ming Xie had cast down. As a result, the peak experts had no idea who Ming Dong was. However, just Ming Xie’s identity as a divine general of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng had already tied the Tian Yuan clan to the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

Immediately, the Tian Yuan clan’s status on the Cloud Plane became extremely special.

Ming Dong returned to the Tian Yuan clan and vanished from everyone’s view. He did not ask about the matter regarding the Four Symbols Alliance at all.

Ming Xie, on the other hand, stowed away his special armor and returned to his scholarly self. He returned from outer space and appeared before Zheng Hu and the others.

“Do you want to destroy the Pingtian Empire? The Tian Yuan clan?” Ming Xie stared at Zheng Hu calmly and asked without any particular emotions.

At this moment, as Zheng Hu faced this Chaotic Prime who was at a lower level of cultivation, he was unable to remain as composed as before. He became rather flustered.

“No, no, no. It’s a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. It’s all a misunderstanding,” Zheng Hu apologised with a smile as he waved his hands. He spoke politely, no longer bold enough to act with arrogance and dominance. His attitude had completely changed.

Before him was a high level divine general from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. No matter how bold their Four Symbols Alliance was, they would never dare to offend him.

“It’s all a misunderstanding. How can our Four Symbols Alliance be bold enough to destroy the Pingtian Empire and the Tian Yuan clan? Please do not misunderstand us, sir…”

Afterwards, four people of various ages appeared with a few flickers.

They were the four other peak experts of the Four Symbols Alliance. At that moment, all five peak experts had arrived near the boundary of the Pingtian Empire. They all concealed their presences and maintained a low-profile, explaining everything to Ming Xie the best they could. They were all sincere and put on no airs at all.

They even gifted a Space Ring to him. It contained the wealth that the Four Symbols Alliance had accumulated over many years. It was extremely plentiful, and they offered it to Ming Xie willingly to express their kind intentions.

Looking at the Space Ring, Ming Xie began to hesitate. He was clear about his identity. The Space Ring was more like an offering to Ming Dong than a gift to him. He did not dare to make the decision himself.

“Take back your Space Ring. I don’t lack your items. Anyway, in the future, do not get in the way of any matters regarding the Tian Yuan clan, or I will never spare you.” At this moment, Ming Dong’s voice rang out. It was cold and forceful, showing no respect towards the Four Symbols Alliance at all.

“Of course not, of course not. From today onwards, the Tian Yuan clan and the Pingtian Empire will be the most honourable guests of our Four Symbols Alliance…” The people in charge of the Four Symbols Alliance all expressed their goodwill. They still did not know Ming Dong’s true identity. However, after the recent events, anyone could tell that Ming Dong’s origins were astonishing. After all, even this high level divine general of the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng had to follow his orders.

The Four Symbols Alliance definitely could not offend someone like that.

At the same time, the experts of the Righteous Alliance gathered together as well, gazing in the direction of the Tian Yuan clan from afar.

“I really never thought the Tian Yuan clan would have the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng behind them…”

“The young man called Ming Dong holds an extremely great status in the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng. Is he the first majesty’s disciple?”

…

The peak experts of the Righteous Alliance discussed with one another.

“Oh, right. The Xi clan is currently reorganising their empire and recovering lost land. The Heaven-cracking sect and the Sword Sect of Four Poles have already banded together with many organisations in the northern region and have turned on the Xi Empire under the excuse of Xi Lianxue’s betrayal. They’ve even asked for reinforcements from our Godsfallen clan, hoping we can send experts to eliminate the Xi Empire. What do you think about this?” At this moment, the ancestor of the Godsfallen clan, Luo Mantian, asked for everyone’s opinion.

The ancestor of the Tong family, Tong Wuming, looked at Luo Mantian deeply and said steadily, “I’ve heard that the Xi clan has a princess who’s an elder in the Tian Yuan clan. She has quite the status there. Now that the Tian Yuan clan seems to be backed by the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng, what else do you think you should do?”

“In the past, the Xi Empire had three of their Chaotic Primes trapped. In the end, the divine general from the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng paid a personal visit to the Xi Empire and freed the three of them. Luo Mantian, it goes without saying how we should treat the Xi clan,” said Zhou Zhidao, the ancestor of the Cosmic sect.
