Jianchen glanced at Tai Dou, Lan Jing, Xin Pian, and Mochas. After a moment of thought, he said, "Tai Dou, Lan Jing, Xin Pian, Mochas, you were forced to join the Turtle clan back then because you had no other choice. Now, I will give you a chance. If you want to leave, I, Jianchen, will not stop you. I will even give you some heavenly resources to increase your strength. After all, you've done quite a lot for the Turtle clan during this period of time and have contributed greatly."
Tai Dou knelt down without any hesitation. He politely said, "Ruler, I will not leave. I am willing to stay in the Turtle clan forever. I may not be a clansman of the Turtle clan, but I am willing to become a part of the clan and follow the ruler for the rest of my life. I will serve the ruler until the day I die."
Lan Jing, Xin Pian, and Mochas were in no hurry to make a decision. They all looked at one another and hesitated. The three of them were originally disciplinary elders of the Heaven's Spirit Hall. They had once hunted down Jianchen with the four divine generals of the Serpent God Hall, but they had been forced to follow Jianchen in the end. They were rather similar to Tai Dou.
The three of them hesitated for a very long time before finally making up their minds. Lan Jing said, "Ruler, we still want to return to the Heaven's Spirit Hall because that's where we grew up. We already have deep feelings for the Heaven's Spirit Hall, so it's equivalent to our home."
Jianchen sighed inside as a sliver of disappointment flashed through his eyes. He said, "I respect your decision. You can return at any time, but before you leave, I will give each of you a gift as repayment for the great contributions you've made to the Turtle clan."
"Thank you for your kind intentions, ruler. We're already extremely grateful that you're willing to let us return to the Heaven's Spirit Hall, so how can we accept a gift from the ruler? We feel ashamed to accept it …" Xin Pian said in shame. From a certain perspective, their lives already belonged to Jianchen, yet they actually wanted to leave. They felt so ashamed that they could not raise their heads. However, the Heaven's Spirit Hall held great significance in their hearts, so they really did want to return if possible.
Jianchen raised his hand to stop Xin Pian. He said, "Don't be in such a hurry to turn me down. The gifts I'm giving you can allow your strength to skyrocket and become hall elders in the shortest amount of time possible."
Lan Jing, Xin Pian, and Mochas all raised their heads to look at Jianchen. They were all shocked. They did not doubt Jianchen's words. After all, he was already an emperor, so why would he speak without thinking? However, they found it hard to believe that Jianchen would actually give them something so valuable.
When they thought about how not only had Jian Chen restored their freedom, but he had even given them such a great gift, the three of them became even more ashamed. They were too ashamed to show their faces.
Jianchen waved his hand at the three of them and said, "You can leave. I'll send someone to deliver the items to you later. From today onwards, you've regained your freedom, and I will not interfere with any of your matters. You can leave at any time."
Lan Jing, Xin Pian, and Mochas all bowed towards Jianchen before retreating.
With a wave of his hand, Jianchen tossed a ring to Qing Yixuan who was staring at him blankly. He said, "Qing Yixuan, from today onwards, the Tao family no longer exists in the sea realm. This is Tao Zhengtian's Space Ring. Take a look and see if there's anything you need in there." The Space Ring hovered before Qing Yixuan, held in place by an invisible force.
Qing Yixuan seemed to return to her senses. She grabbed the Space Ring absent-mindedly and checked its contents. A while later, a sliver of disappointment appeared in her eyes. She said, "There's nothing in there that I need. However, the Tao family has a secret vault that few people know about. Most of their treasures and valuables are stored in there. I think what I need should be in there as well. "Qing Yixuan flicked her finger and the Space Ring immediately flew back to Jianchen.
"Do you know where the vault is?" Jianchen asked calmly. Even though this was the collection of a peak clan, very few things could move Jianchen's heart. He had reached a whole new level now. Regular treasures were like dirt in his eyes. However, the heritage of the Turtle clan was rather lacking right now, so the wealth of the Tao family just happened to be enough to fill the gap.
"I do know where it is, but there's something I need to confirm with you before I go. Are you the Holy Emperor right now?" Qing Yixuan asked as she stared at Jianchen closely.
Although she had personally witnessed the battle between Jianchen and the Hall Master Of Dragon God Temple, she still refused to believe that someone who was far weaker than her could become a Holy Emperor in such a short amount of time. After all, Jianchen had not even reached Sainthood when he took the Eight Wastelands from her.
"I'm not the Holy Emperor right now, but if I really fight, I'm no weaker than the Holy Emperor," Jianchen faintly smiled.
Qing Yixuan gasped as she stared at Jianchen like she was looking at a monster. She said, "The speed at which your strength increases is truly astounding. However, since you possess such strength, you should be able to enter the secret vault of the Tao family. There's no time to lose. Let's set off right now."
"Ruler.
The ancestor of the Silan clan has come to visit. He wishes to see the ruler, "at this moment, a guard ran in from outside and reported politely.
"The Silan clan?" Jianchen murmured.
He was not unfamiliar with the name. It was one of the peak clans in the territory of the Poseidon Palace.
They were no weaker than the Tao family.
"Reporting, the ancestor of the Sigunata clan has come to visit …"
"Reporting, the old patriarch of the Lansiyun clan has come to visit …"
"Reporting, the old patriarch of the Xiao tribe has come to visit …"
"Reporting!
After the Silan clan, many other important figures from other clans and organisations had come to visit the Turtle clan. They were all large clans that reigned over a region in the territory of the Poseidon Palace. There were even some that were more powerful than the Tao family.
Jianchen frowned. Although he had already expected something like this, it had happened far too quickly. After all, he had only returned to the Turtle clan a short while ago.
However, Jianchen did not plan on personally receiving these people. He knew that they had only come to confirm whether the Turtle clan had an emperor or not, so he just left Tie Ta there to receive the guests in his place. He went to the treasury of the Tao family with Qing Yixuan.
The treasury of the Tao family was located in a swamp over a hundred thousand kilometers away from the Turtle clan. The environment of the swamp was terrible and filled with danger. It was filled with a powerful, poisonous gas all year round.
Jianchen and Qing Yixuan ignored the gas and made their way to the very depths of the swamp. In the end, they entered a valley.
Suddenly, a black figure shot over with lightning-like speed, heading straight for Qing Yixuan and Jianchen. It was accompanied by an extremely powerful, poisonous gas. Even the Holy Emperor dared not to be careless.
