Jianchen no longer paid any attention to the envoy. He looked at Tai Dou and said, "Take his head!"
A sliver of surprise appeared on Tai Dou's face when he heard that. He had never thought that Jianchen would want to kill the envoy here. However, Tai Dou returned to his senses after a moment of surprise. Without saying anything else, he directly moved against the envoy.
"How dare you! Does your Turtle clan want to rebel? I represent the Tao family …" The envoy's face drastically changed as he hurriedly cried out. He had never thought that Jianchen would actually want to kill him. After all, he had come here to represent the Tao family. If the Turtle clan really did kill him, the fury of the Tao family would reduce the Turtle clan to nothingness. He did not believe that the Turtle clan was the opponent of the Tao family. Even if the legendary ruler of the Turtle clan had returned, nothing could be changed.
Tai Dou ignored the emissary's cries. He extended his hands and twisted the emissary's head, forcefully plucking it off. The emissary was a Saint Ruler, but he was immobilized by Tai Dou's abilities. All he could do was watch as his head was separated from his body.
The envoy did not die. To Saint Rulers, separating their heads from their bodies was not enough to take their lives. As long as their souls remained, they could still live even if their heads were shattered. At this moment, the envoy's eyes were wide open as he stared at Jianchen in both surprise and anger.
Even now, he still refused to believe that the Turtle clan would treat him like this, completely ignoring the Tao family behind him.
Jianchen extended a finger and a sharp sword Qi shot out from the tip of his finger, disappearing into the envoy's forehead with lightning-like speed.
The light in the envoy's eyes rapidly receded, becoming hollow very soon. The sword Qi from Jianchen's finger had wiped out his soul.
Jianchen waved his hand and a gust of wind blew the envoy's head into the air. It landed firmly in the hands of a follower who had come with the envoy. He coldly said, "Go back and tell Tao Zhengtian that he has one day to return all the crystal mines to the Turtle clan. Also, he must compensate the Turtle clan with ten billion supreme quality crystal coins in one day for the heavy losses the Turtle clan suffered in the battle a few days ago. If the two conditions are not fulfilled before then, our Turtle clan will launch a devastating attack against the Tao family and all the clans that have allied themselves with the Tao family. We will not rest until we're dead."
The two followers who had come with the envoy had become ghastly pale. Intense fear had invaded their hearts, causing them to tremble uncontrollably. They nodded in a hurry after hearing what Jianchen had said before leaving the Turtle clan in a panic with the head of the envoy.
All the elders of the Turtle clan were overjoyed when they saw the fate of the envoy. In particular, what Jianchen had said to the two followers made them feel extremely happy and emotional. Their Turtle clan finally did not have to endure the oppression of the Tao family anymore. At the same time, they gained an even clearer understanding of just how important the ruler was to the Turtle clan.
Without the ruler, their Turtle clan had suffered a devastating attack from the Tao family. If it were not for the intervention of the hall elders in the end, their Turtle clan probably would have ceased to exist. Now that the ruler had returned, their Turtle clan immediately became tough again. They no longer feared the Tao family.
"Jianchen, have you really decided to move against the Tao family? Are you confident that you can deal with them?" Qing Yixuan sternly asked. At the same time, she felt a sliver of eagerness.
Jianchen nodded, "If the Tao family really is as weak as you have described, they really won't be much of a threat to us." The situation this time was different from last time. Nubis had already emerged from seclusion and there was also Tie Ta, who was no weaker than him.
The Tao family really did not pose much of a threat to Jianchen.
"But the five of us are all heavily injured. We won't be able to recover in a short amount of time," Qing Yixuan said with some worry. Although she did not know where Jianchen's confidence came from, she knew that Jianchen was not a reckless person.
Jianchen smiled mysteriously, "I obviously know that the five of you are very heavily injured. You don't need to worry about that. I'll make a full recovery very soon." With that, a golden light flashed between Jianchen's eyebrows and the saint artifact flew out of his sea of consciousness.
"Don't resist, you five!" Jianchen warned before sending the five of them back into the artifact space. He planned on getting the Artifact Spirit to heal them.
Although Jianchen was also a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master, only water elemental energy was the most active in the sea realm. Radiant Saint Force was extremely thin, so if he healed the five of them with his own abilities, the effects would be nowhere near as good as on the Tian Yuan Continent. As for the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force, every bit that Jianchen used was a portion of it. Recovering it was not as easy as recovering Chaotic Force, so in order to conserve the origin energy, Jianchen could only give the heavy responsibility of healing the five of them to the Artifact Spirit.
If Radiant Saint Masters wanted to reach Class 8 from Class 7, they would need to accumulate a certain amount of origin energy. Once their origin energy reached a certain level, it would allow their soul to sublimate, allowing them to reach Class 8. Jianchen did not possess a lot of Radiant Saint Force origin energy, and he had only absorbed it when the seal in the artifact space had been removed last time. This tiny amount of Radiant Saint Force origin energy was Jianchen's hope of reaching Class 8, so unless he had no other choice, he would not waste the tiny amount of Radiant Saint Force origin energy that belonged to him.
The Artifact Spirit had already reached Class 8 as a Radiant Saint Master. Under its healing, the five of them made a full recovery in less than an hour, which made them overjoyed.
Afterward, Jianchen gave the five of them half a day to recover their Saint Force. Half a day later, he led Qing Yixuan, Tai Dou, Lan Jing, Xin Pian, Mochas, Nubis, and Tie Ta to the Tao family aggressively. A few elders of the Turtle clan accompanied them.
Jianchen did not hold any hopes that the Tao family would agree to the one day deadline because he knew it was impossible.
At the same time, in a medium-sized tribe called the Kalor tribe several hundred thousand kilometers away from the Turtle clan, a middle-aged man paced back and forth in a resplendent room. His brows were tightly furrowed as if something was weighing on his mind.
The middle-aged man was the current patriarch of the Kalor tribe, as well as Caia's father.
"Jia Suo, is the young miss still in seclusion?" Suddenly, the patriarch asked from outside the door.
"Yes, patriarch. The young miss is still in seclusion and has yet to emerge," the voice of a guard rang out from outside.
The patriarch of the Kalor tribe furrowed his brows even more. He felt slightly uneasy inside. He understood his daughter's habits extremely well. Although she had displayed extraordinary talent since she was young, she was not particularly interested in cultivation. Otherwise, she probably would have become a 14th Star expert with her talent already.
However, ever since his daughter Caia had been taken away by the ruler of the Turtle clan, she seemed to have undergone an unbelievable change. She, who had never cultivated in seclusion before, entered a long period of seclusion as soon as she returned to the tribe. She still had not emerged even now, which worried him very much. At the same time, he was extremely curious about what had happened after the ruler of the Turtle clan had taken his daughter away. Why was his daughter so interested in cultivation? Had she been bullied?
Just as the patriarch sank into his thoughts, the guard's surprised cry rang out from outside the door, "Ah! Young miss, y- you've emerged … "
Before the guard had even finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Caia walked in wearing a set of sky-blue clothes. Her presence had changed slightly compared to before she had entered seclusion.
The patriarch was stunned when he saw Caia suddenly appear before him, but he soon became overjoyed. He said, "Caia, you've finally emerged. Fantastic. Do you know how worried I was when you suddenly entered seclusion this time?"
Caia smiled and gently replied, "Father, I'm sorry. I've made you worry."
The patriarch could sense that Caia did not show any abnormal emotions, which made him let out a sigh of relief. He smiled freely, "It's fine, it's fine. It's fine as long as you're fine, Caia."
Afterward, the patriarch saw how hesitant Caia was and asked lovingly, "Caia, do you have something on your mind? If you need my help, feel free to tell me. I will do everything I can. Oh right, Caia, why did the ruler of the Turtle clan find you last time? Why did you enter seclusion as soon as you came back and only emerge now? "
Kai Ya hesitated slightly before saying, "Father, I've actually come out this time because I want to get some crystal coins from you."
"Isn't it just some crystal coins? How much do you need? Tell me," smiled the patriarch.
"The more the better because I need a large amount of crystal coins for my seclusion," Caia blushed. She knew that the amount of crystal coins she needed was tremendous. It was probably not something the Kyle tribe could provide. However, she was a girl, and her strength was not at the peak. If she wanted to increase her strength quickly, she had no other choice but to seek the support of the tribe.
