"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. The only way to destroy the divine hall is to become a seventeen-star expert and become an emperor. Ruler of the Turtle clan, I, Tao Zhengtian, admit that I have underestimated the strength of your clan, but it's impossible for you to become an emperor." Tao Zhengtian's cold voice rang out from the divine hall. His voice was filled with mockery. How could becoming an emperor be so easy? Even Tao Zhengtian, who was about to become an elder of the divine hall, did not dare to dream of reaching such a supreme realm.
Jianchen sneered, "Whether I can become an emperor or not is not up to you, Tao Zhengtian. The next time I come to your Tao family, I'll destroy your divine hall." With that, Jianchen controlled the divine hall of the Eight Wastelands into the distance. He took the elders of the Turtle clan several dozen kilometers away and directly returned to the Turtle clan.
Jianchen knew that Tao Zhengtian and the others were protected by the divine hall, so it was impossible for them to destroy the Tao family. They did not have the power to destroy the divine hall right now, so their actions today were just to collect some debts for the Turtle clan. They wanted the alliance of the Tao family to pay a certain price for the disaster they had caused three days ago.
The divine hall of the Eight Wastelands vanished into the horizon very quickly with the experts of the Turtle clan. Tao Zhengtian only put the divine hall away after confirming that Jianchen and the others would not return. However, only the five surviving Holy Emperor experts left the divine hall. Tao Zhengtian did not dare to let out the clansmen of the Tao family who had entered the divine hall earlier. He was afraid that Jianchen and the others would return.
Tao Zhengtian and the four other experts hovered in the sky silently. They stared at the ruins of the Tao family with gloomy faces. All of them felt heavy inside.
The corpses of the clansmen of the Tao family littered the messy ruins. They were strewn across the ground. They had all died to the shockwaves of energy that had erupted from the battle between the Holy Emperor experts. There were close to ten Saint Rulers among them.
Tao Zhengtian slowly scanned the ruins of the Tao family. His face was extremely sunken as he clenched his fists so tightly that they creaked. The flames of fury in his heart burned fiercely, along with deep regret.
The Tao family had suffered far too great losses in this battle. Over half of their clansmen had died, and only a few of their elite disciples remained. They had even lost two-thirds of their Saint Rulers, including Tao Lin, who was at the level of the Holy Emperor.
The losses of the Turtle clan were nothing compared to the losses of the Tao family. After all, the peak strength of the Turtle clan was still present.
"We misjudged the strength of the Turtle clan before. None of us had thought that they would actually become so powerful. The Turtle clan will not just let this matter go. Our Taiyi clan does not have the protection of a divine hall. Tao Zhengtian, I need to return to the Taiyi clan immediately and think of a way to avoid the revenge of the Turtle clan, "Tai Tongyi said with a heavy voice.
"I need to go back and make arrangements as well, or the Turtle clan can easily wipe out our entire clan with the strength they have displayed," said the ancestor of the Taiyi clan. His face was rather pale as he regretted taking part in this matter. If he had known earlier that the Turtle clan was so powerful, he would have handed over the crystal mines of the Turtle clan long ago.
"Sigh." The ancestor of the Moxi clan let out a long sigh. His face was filled with worry as he constantly cursed himself inside. Originally, his Moxi clan had nothing to do with this matter, but they had agreed to the marriage because they coveted the vast amount of resources that the Turtle clan possessed. After that, they worked with the Tao clan against the Turtle clan.
"It's all because of greed," sighed the ancestor of the Turtle clan. He knew that the Moxi clan was completely tied to the Tao family now that the situation had developed like this. There was no point in regretting.
"Everyone, we've completely fallen out with the Turtle clan now. Running away is pointless. The Turtle clan will definitely not let us go, so all we can do is temporarily work together and rely on the divine hall in my hands to protect ourselves. We can slowly think of a way to deal with the Turtle clan after that," Jian Chen said. He knew that the experts before him were an extremely powerful force. They would be a great bargaining chip against the Tao family, so he had to keep them around no matter what.
The Holy Emperor agreed with what he said, so they all nodded in agreement. Afterward, they all returned to their clans to make arrangements. Afterward, they brought the elites and direct descendants of their clans to the Tao family. They separated the clansmen that they did not take with them and had them hide in various places in the sea realm. Whether they would be found and killed by the people of the Turtle clan was none of their business.
A majestic divine hall stood silently at the very center of the territory of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. The divine hall was the supreme existence of the Heaven's Spirit Hall because it was where the ruler of the Heaven's Spirit Hall resided.
At this moment, an illusionary middle-aged man sat on a throne in a resplendent hall at the highest point of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. This was a projection condensed from the power of the soul, and it was not the real person. A skinny old man knelt before the middle-aged man.
"Hall master, the person I sent to the Tian Yuan Continent to investigate has returned. His name is Jianchen, and he's extremely famous on the Tian Yuan Continent. At the same time, he's an unprecedented cultivation prodigy, reaching Saint Ruler in less than fifty years of cultivation. In the end, he was hunted down by the emperors of the Beast God Continent because of the matter of the ancient divine beast, so he hid in the sea realm to avoid the experts of the Beast God Continent. During that time, he helped the Dahl tribe deal with the Dahl tribe.
In the Meng Huang tribe, he coincidentally killed the emissary of the Serpent God Hall who was escorting the Abyssal Crystal and jumped into the territory of the Poseidon hall with the crystal. For some reason, he gained the ruler's Qi of the Turtle clan and became the ruler of the Turtle clan. "
The illusionary middle-aged man on the throne frowned slightly. The Winged Tiger was an ancient divine beast and was extremely likely to surpass the Holy Emperor in the future, but that had nothing to do with the sea realm. What he was truly curious about was how Jianchen could possess the ruler's Qi of the Turtle clan even though he was clearly a human.
The old man continued, "And I've just received news that Jianchen has been appearing on the Tian Yuan Continent from time to time recently, and his strength has reached the level of the Holy Emperor. However, he's also been appearing in the sea realm from time to time. He even went to the extremely dangerous divine realm not long ago. However, the barrier that protects the sea realm only allows outsiders below the level of the Holy Emperor to enter. Once you reach the level of the Holy Emperor, you won't be able to enter again. However, Jianchen seems to be able to enter and exit the barrier as he pleases. The barrier's restrictions are useless against him. "
"Originally, I also suspected that the Jianchen on the Tian Yuan Continent and the ruler of the Turtle clan were two different people, but when I carefully analyzed the times when the Jianchen and the ruler of the Turtle clan appeared and disappeared, I was shocked to discover that they just happened to match. Whenever Jianchen appeared on the Tian Yuan Continent, the ruler of the Turtle clan would vanish, and when the ruler of the Turtle clan appeared in the sea realm, the Jianchen on the Tian Yuan Continent would vanish. More importantly, the time when the Jianchen on the Tian Yuan Continent increased in strength was the same as the ruler of the Turtle clan. When Jianchen first hid in the sea realm, he was only a Saint Ruler, while the ruler of the Turtle clan was the same. Later on, when the Jianchen on the Tian Yuan Continent broke through to the level of the Holy Emperor, the ruler of the Turtle clan increased in strength as well. As a result, I suspect that they are the same person. "
The hall master of the Heaven's Spirit Hall revealed an unfathomable smile, "Other than that, even their names and appearances are the same. There's no need to guess. They're definitely the same person. If my guess is correct, then it makes sense why Jianchen's ruler's Qi has appeared out of nowhere and why he can freely enter the barrier of the sea realm."
The skinny old man respectfully knelt on the ground. He did not dare to ask anything.
The hall master waved his hand and said, "You can leave. Send an envoy to the territory of the Turtle clan under the Poseidon hall. Say that the Emperor has invited him to our Heaven's Spirit Hall as a guest."
"Yes, hall master!"
…
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since the battle between the Turtle clan and the Tao family. During those five days, Jianchen had led the experts of the Turtle clan to visit all the clans that had allied with the Tao family. Jianchen had mercilessly killed off all the management, core disciples, and direct members of the clans that had taken part in the battle against the Turtle clan. He only left behind a few innocent servants and female attendants.
Not only had the Turtle clan taken back all the crystal mines that had been stolen from them, but they had also obtained a large number of crystal coins and various other valuable items from the clans that had allied with the Tao family. Aside from the four large clans that possessed the Holy Emperor, all the other clans that had taken part in the battle against the Turtle clan had either been wiped out or dispersed. They had completely vanished from the sea realm.
Even the Moses Family, which was also one of the top forces, was only an empty shell. Everything that could be taken away had been taken away. The direct descendants and the upper echelons of the family had all disappeared without a trace. Only a few people of low status were wandering outside.
Jianchen knew that the Moxi clan and the three other large clans had abandoned the bases that they had worked so hard to maintain. They had gathered their experts and elites with the Tao family.
Jianchen did not care about this situation. He still could not destroy the Tao family right now, so it did not matter if he allowed them to live a little longer. Once he possessed the power to destroy the divine hall of the Tao family, he would go find the Tao family and completely end the enmity between the two clans.
The battle between the Turtle clan and the Tao family had already spread across the entire territory of the Poseidon hall, causing everyone to tremble in shock. At the same time, all the peak clans in the territory of the Poseidon hall became deeply fearful of the Turtle clan.
