Jianchen did not have to wait for too long before Qing Yixuan, Tai Dou, Lan Jing, and Xin Pian arrived.
Mochas and the other four entered the hall. Their faces were pale, without a trace of blood. They were all severely injured.
"You still know to come back. You sure are comfortable being the ruler of the Turtle clan. You left the five of us here while you ran off. I told you to deal with the Tao family back then, but you never agreed. Look at you now. The marriage between the Tao family and the Moxi clan has already taken place. Their strength is not something the current Turtle clan can resist. I'd like to see what you can do now. " Qing Yixuan could not help but criticize Jianchen as soon as she saw him. Although she had reached an agreement with Jianchen to temporarily remain in the Turtle clan, it was only a deal between the two of them. However, Qing Yixuan still held a very great prejudice against Jianchen. She had never forgotten how Jianchen had taken the piece of the Eight Wastelands from her when she was heavily injured.
Unfortunately, Jianchen was no longer the puny Saint Ruler of the past. Even though Qing Yixuan still resented Jianchen, she knew that she was no longer Jianchen's opponent.
"I didn't move against the Tao family back then because I did not have complete confidence in suppressing them, which was why I left them alone. I just never thought that the Tao family would grow so powerful so quickly and that they would be bold enough to declare war on our Turtle clan," Jian Chen coldly said. The person he truly feared from the Tao family was the ancestor of the Tao family, Tao Zhengtian. It was said that Tao Zhengtian was close to becoming a hall elder, and hall elders were all experts at the Great Perfection of the Holy Emperor.
"Then do you have the power to deal with the Tao family now?" Qing Yixuan stared at Jianchen with her phoenix-like eyes. She was the only one present who dared to not give face to Jianchen. She always felt that Jianchen owed her.
"First, tell me in detail how many Holy Emperor experts there are in the Tao Family's alliance, how strong they are, and how strong that Tao Zhengtian is," Jianchen asked.
"There are currently nine Holy Emperors in the Tao Family Alliance. Four of them are below the Fifth Celestial Layer, while five are above the Fifth Celestial Layer. One of them is at the Fifth Celestial Layer, two are at the Sixth Celestial Layer, one is at the Seventh Celestial Layer, and one is at the Eighth Celestial Layer. The Patriarch of the Tao Family, Tao Zhengtian, is the strongest.
He was already at the peak of the Eighth Heavenly Layer and was only one step away from the Ninth Heavenly Layer. I also heard that Tao Zhengtian also has a Divine Hall, "Qing Yixuan said coldly.
Jianchen frowned. Including Nubis and Tie Ta, there were a total of eight Holy Emperor experts on his side. Tai Dou was at the Fifth Celestial Layer, while Qing Yixuan, Lan Jing, Xin Pian, and Mochas were at the Sixth Celestial Layer. Nubis was the weakest at the Fourth Celestial Layer, but if he used his modified Saint Tier Battle Skill, he could temporarily contend with a Seventh Celestial Layer expert. As for himself and Tie Ta, they would not lose to a Seventh Celestial Layer expert in a one-on-one fight. Overall, their side was no weaker than the Tao Family Alliance, or even stronger.
However, what troubled Jianchen was that Tao Zhengtian still had a Divine Hall. Their side seemed very powerful, but even if they worked together, they would not be able to get through a Divine Hall.
Qing Yixuan thought that Jianchen was not confident in dealing with the Tao family when she saw Jianchen frown. She could not help but sigh inside. The Tao family was like the sun in the sky right now, and Tao Zhengtian would become a Divine Hall elder soon as well. At that time, it would be even more difficult to deal with him. She had no idea if she would still be able to obtain the item she wanted.
However, Qing Yixuan would not have dared to return to the Tian Yuan Continent if she did not have that item.
"God dammit, when I obtained the map fragment of the Eight Wastelands, I could have used it to exchange for that item with the Tao family, but Jianchen actually took it away from me." Qing Yixuan gritted her teeth when she thought up to there.
At this moment, a guard quickly ran in from outside. He said in a rather panicked manner, "Ruler, the Tao family has sent an envoy. He's outside the tribe right now."
"An envoy of the Tao family!" Jianchen was stunned. He had probably never thought that an envoy of the Tao family would come at such a crucial time. However, he returned to his senses soon after and said, "Bring him in."
"There's no need to lead the way. I can come in myself." As soon as Jianchen finished speaking, an arrogant voice rang out from outside the hall. A skinny old man strode in with his chest puffed out. He seemed to be high and mighty.
The old man was a Saint Ruler, and he had two Heaven Saint Masters by his side.
The eyes of the elders of the Turtle clan immediately burned with anger when they saw the envoy of the Tao family. They hated the people of the Tao family to the core.
As soon as the envoy entered the hall, he quickly glanced around. When he discovered Qing Yixuan and the other 16th Star experts standing below while Jianchen sat above, his heart immediately sank slightly. He sensed that something was off, but when he thought about the current strength of the Tao family, he immediately became fearless.
The envoy knew that he had come as a representative of the powerful Tao family, so even when he stood beside Qing Yixuan and the other four 16th Star experts, he remained composed and composed. He studied Jianchen without any fear and laughed aloud, "May I ask who this warrior is and why the Old Man has never seen you before?" The envoy spoke very frivolously, as if he did not care about Jianchen's identity at all.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel before the ruler of our clan!" An elder of the Turtle clan yelled at the envoy.
The envoy came to a realisation before becoming surprised. He clasped his hands, "Oh, so this is the legendary ruler of the Turtle clan. I have been disrespectful, truly disrespectful."
"Since you know that he's the ruler of our clan, why don't you kneel and greet him? It's your great honor to be able to meet the ruler of our clan with your mere strength at the 13th Star," an elder of the Turtle clan yelled out.
The envoy laughed aloud, "You really are the ruler of a clan. You're still so prideful even at a time like this. However, I've only kneeled to ancestor Tao Zhengtian before. Even the current patriarch of the Tao family doesn't have the right to make me kneel. I just wonder if the ruler of the Turtle clan is worthy of my kneeling."
"How dare you …"
"How dare you speak to the ruler like that? Are you tired of living …"
The elders of the Turtle clan all became furious.
Jianchen frowned as well. The Tao family was just far too arrogant. Even a mere envoy dared to act so arrogantly before so many Holy Emperor experts.
"Tai Dou, toss the three of them out!" Jianchen coldly ordered. He did not plan on negotiating with the envoy of the Tao family no matter what his intentions were for coming here.
The envoy's face immediately changed when he heard that Jianchen wanted to toss him out. He yelled out, "Don't you dare! I represent the Tao family …"
With that, the envoy of the Tao family was tossed out along with his two followers. Although Tai Dou was heavily injured, he was still a Fifth Heavenly Layer Holy Emperor after all. The envoy of the Tao family could not resist his Spatial Imprisonment at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A hundred meters away, three muffled thuds rang out. The Tao Family's emissary and his two followers fell to the ground. Although they weren't injured, they were in a sorry state.
The two followers silently climbed up from the ground. They did not dare to say anything, but the envoy of the Tao family was furious. His body had been firmly trapped by Tai Dou's Spatial Force when he was tossed out. He was unable to control his body at all, so how could a mighty Saint Ruler like him come into such close contact with the ground? How could he accept this?
At the same time, he subconsciously believed that the Turtle clan should treat him politely as the loser, but the situation was the exact opposite.
The envoy of the Tao family ignored the gloating gazes of the clansmen of the Turtle clan.
Huo Huo rushed back into the hall furiously and roared, "How dare you! How dare you treat the envoy of the Tao family like this? You will regret this …"
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He growled, "Tai Dou, toss them out. If they charge in again, kill them directly."
"Yes, sir!" Tai Dou replied before arriving before the envoy of the Tao family. He extended his hand to toss the envoy out.
"Wait!" The envoy of the Tao family had already been trapped by Tai Dou. Seeing that he was about to be tossed out again, he hurriedly called out to stop him. He gritted his teeth and said, "I've come under the patriarch's orders to pass on a message. I will leave immediately after that." With that, the envoy of the Tao family probably felt that he was being far too cowardly, so he added, "If it weren't for the patriarch's orders, I wouldn't have come even if a mere Turtle clan had invited me.
I wouldn't have even wanted to come. Hmph! "
"Speak! What has the patriarch of the Tao family sent you here for? "Jianchen remained emotionless.
The envoy calmed himself down and stared at Jianchen with hostility, "Under the patriarch's orders, the Turtle clan has tried time and time again to steal the supreme grade crystal mines of the Tao family, causing heavy losses to the Tao family. At the same time, our Tao family lost a large number of experts and elite disciples in the battle three days ago. The Turtle clan has already caused extremely heavy losses to the Tao family, so the Turtle clan must compensate the Tao family with one billion crystal coins within fifteen days. Otherwise, our Tao family will take corresponding measures against the Turtle clan."
The elders of the Turtle clan all trembled with anger when they heard the envoy's words. The Tao family was going more and more overboard. Let alone the fact that they did not have a billion crystal coins, they probably would not be able to gather a hundred million even if they used all the power of the clan. Although they had taken over a few crystal mines in the past, the amount of time they had been mining was just far too short.
"I've already passed on the patriarch's words. Farewell," the envoy turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" Jianchen called out, stopping the envoy from leaving.
The envoy looked back at Jianchen and coldly said, "May I ask if you have any other orders, king?"
Killing intent flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He coldly replied, "Envoy of the Tao family, I could have let you leave safely before you said that, but I can't do that now."
