Chaotic Sword God

But right now, the Darkstar Emperor’s expression was rather sunken. As soon as he arrived here, his gaze became fixed on Jin Hong. It was extremely sharp and filled with undisguised killing intent.

The killing intent was completely exposed. Even with Jian Chen right next to him, he did not try to hide it.

Under the Darkstar Emperor’s killing intent, Jin Hong subconsciously tensed up. He became cautious, completely on-guard.

He sensed a lethal threat from the Darkstar Emperor; he felt like he was facing a Chaotic Prime. He immediately behaved like he was facing a powerful enemy.

Jin Hong was the successor of a Grand Exalt, and the Darkstar Emperor also possessed the legacy of a Grand Exalt from a certain perspective.

On top of that, the pure blood of a Grand Exalt flowed through the Darkstar Emperor’s body.

As a result, Jin Hong possessed no advantage at all as the successor of a Grand Exalt in front of the Darkstar Emperor.

Jian Chen looked at the Darkstar Emperor. He could clearly sense the killing intent, which made him frown immediately. He said, “Emperor, have you come for Jin Hong as well?”

“A Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Looks like you’ve been hiding in our race for a very long time.” The Darkstar Emperor ignored Jian Chen and stared straight at Jin Hong with an extremely sharp gaze. His voice was gruff, like he was hiding fury that would erupt at any moment.

Finally, the Darkstar Emperor looked at Jian Chen. He said emotionlessly, “Jian Chen, you should understand the situation of our race. We cannot permit any foreign Primordial realm experts setting foot here. You are the only exception. Do you really intend to protect him?”

The Darkstar Emperor stared at Jian Chen. Even though he knew Jian Chen was well beyond anything he could deal with currently, he still held his ground staunchly. He was firm when it came to both his tone and stance.

Jian Chen gazed at the Darkstar Emperor calmly and said slowly, “I know your Darkstar race cannot tolerate any foreign Primordial realm experts, as people like that are completely beyond your control. If they want to hide, they only need to vanish into the Two World Mountains, and the Life-devouring Beasts there won’t be able to threaten them, while your Darkstar race will also struggle to find them.”

“Of course, what you’re most afraid of is foreign Primordial realm experts sneaking into the Darkstar World and cultivating secretly, producing a figure like me several years in the future and bringing a disaster to your Darkstar race.”

“Since you know about the trouble we face, why do you still protect him? Jian Chen, I’m very disappointed in your actions. That is a bottom line that my race cannot cross,” the Darkstar Emperor said sternly.

“Don’t worry. At most, I will take Jin Hong away with me when I leave. I won’t let him remain in the Darkstar race,” Jian Chen said calmly. He obviously understood the Darkstar race’s worries, so he was not surprised at all by the Darkstar Emperor’s reaction.

All members of the Darkstar race grew extremely slowly in strength in the Darkstar World, and the Ninth Heavenly Layer of Infinite Prime was the limit of their cultivation so far.

On the other hand, foreign cultivators did not have that limitation. Even if their strength would increase much more slowly compared to in the Saints’ World due to the lack of resources, they still had a chance at reaching Chaotic Prime after a certain period of consolidation.

If a Chaotic Prime actually appeared after many years, that would be a destructive crisis to the Darkstar race.

And Jin Hong’s cultivation as a Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime was already turning into a threat.

As a result, Jin Hong’s existence happened to touch on the Darkstar race’s softest spot.

“Darkstar Emperor, I have no ill intentions. I came here only in hopes of negotiating with your Darkstar race. I wish to re-establish our previous relationship of commerce,” Jin Hong clasped his fist towards the Darkstar Emperor and said with utter sincerity.

“Our race will not be discussing anything with Primordial realm experts of your Saints’ World. If you really want to discuss with us, there is one way, which is for you to leave our world immediately. I will personally watch you as you pass through the passageway.” The Darkstar Emperor’s face was completely sunken. He stared at Jin Hong coldly. “If you don’t leave, then our race will never discuss anything with you outsiders.”

“That’s not something I can decide on. Darkstar Emperor, please allow me to return to the Two World Mountains so that I can communicate with the seniors outside.” Jin Hong clearly noticed the Darkstar Emperor’s attitude towards this, so he could only step down.

“Brother Jin Hong, let me accompany you.” Jian Chen was worried about Jin Hong leaving alone, so he immediately brought Jin Hong into the Two World Mountains with the Laws of Space.

The Darkstar Emperor hesitated momentarily before personally following along. He concealed his presence completely and silently entered the depths of the Two World Mountains.

Jin Hong’s appearance had clearly threatened the Darkstar race very much. The Darkstar Emperor placed extremely great emphasis on this. He did not dare to be careless at all.

Soon afterwards, Jian Chen returned to the spatial tunnel in the depths of the Two World Mountains with Jin Hong. The entire region there was enveloped in a barrier, not only stopping Life-devouring Beasts, but also blocking the entry of the Darkstar race as well.

Near the tunnel, due to Jin Hong hiding in the Darkstar race, there were clansmen from the Dire Wolf clan stationed there all year round to serve as messengers between Jin Hong and the outside world.

As soon as Jin Hong arrived, he passed a jade slip with secret information to a person stationed there. They would bring it out of the Darkstar World and hand it to his seniors.

The Darkstar Emperor appeared outside the barrier with his presence completely concealed. His face was sunken as he remained in the Two World Mountains, personally watching through the barrier.

Afterwards, Jin Hong used his clansmen to pass on messages as he communicated with the seniors outside. After many exchanges, the organisations behind Jin Hong finally seemed to come to an agreement. They expressed that they were willing for Jin Hong to return from the Darkstar World, and they had also put forward their conditions for that.

However, even Jian Chen frowned when he heard these conditions. He believed the organisations in the outside world had gone a little too far. Did they really think that the Darkstar race would be completely at their whim if they stationed Jin Hong here as a form of deterrence?

“Hmph, you have no right to bargain with us. Make your Primordial realm expert leave the Darkstar World, and I’ll give you an opportunity to discuss with us.” The Darkstar Emperor gave a firm reply from outside the barrier. He left absolutely no room for discussion.

The Darkstar Emperor’s intentions were conveyed to the outside world. Very soon, the people of the Dire Wolf clan returned to the Darkstar World again with a message from the outside world. “Darkstar Emperor, if you don’t agree, then we’ll make Jin Hong remain in the Darkstar World forever. We have over a hundred peak organisations outside that have already come to an agreement. We will nurture Jin Hong with everything we have so that he becomes a Chaotic Prime as quickly as possible.”

This time, the threatening intentions of the organisations from the Saints’ World were completely exposed without any attempt at hiding it.

When the Darkstar Emperor heard that, he immediately erupted with killing intent. This was the exact reason why his Darkstar race did not permit the existence of foreign Primordial realm experts.
