The Tianyuan family had become the undisputed ruler of the southern region. However, the Tianyuan family did not unify the southern region. After gaining control of the Heavenly Moon Empire and Blood Sun Empire, the Tianyuan family settled down once again. The Tianyuan family did not interfere with the development of the other ancient empires and various divine kingdoms in the southern region either.
This did not mean that the Tianyuan family was not ambitious. On the contrary, most of the senior members and upper echelon of the Tianyuan family were ambitious. They wanted to unify the southern region and expand into the other regions. There were even some senior members who suggested establishing a branch sect in the central region.
This was because the Tianyuan family could indeed achieve this easily with their current strength and prestige.
However, Jianchen vetoed all of their suggestions for expansion. None of them dared to object. Not only were the senior members of the Tianyuan family confused by Jianchen's actions, but even the cultivators and some of the wise people in the outside world were puzzled.
At this moment, the forbidden grounds of the Tianyuan family's backyard was beautiful and extremely quiet. It formed a stark contrast to the noisy front of the Tianyuan family.
In this forbidden ground, a blue divine palace stood there quietly, emitting an invisible pressure.
To no surprise, the divine hall was the medium quality god artifact that Jianchen had obtained from the Gloomwater sect in the past, the Watercloud Hall.
Jianchen stood at the highest point in the Watercloud Hall. He stared at the Tianyuan family through the window as he sank into his thoughts.
"Jianchen, is there something on your mind?" Shangguan Mu 'er arrived before Jianchen. Her voice was gentle and filled with concern.
"I'm thinking about how long the Tianyuan family can maintain their current glory," Jian Chen said with mixed feelings. Jianchen said with mixed feelings. He was rather worried that if his identity was exposed one day, the Tianyuan family would be hunted down by the entire Saints' World.
After all, he was the successor of the Azulet swords, a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens from the Immortals' World. This identity had been decided the moment he obtained the swords. It could not be changed, nor could he reverse it.
The Immortals' World and the Saints' World were hostile organisations. The previous master of the Azulet swords was one of the five sovereigns of the Immortals' World. During the last war between the two worlds, he had used the Azulet swords to slay many experts from the Saints' World, so they had already formed a blood feud.
People who could die to the Azulet swords were obviously extraordinary. It was possible to say that any one of them was a powerful existence in the Saints' World and had many disciples. If his identity was exposed, it was possible to imagine just how terrifying the consequences would be.
"As long as you're here, I believe the glory of the Tianyuan family will continue," said Shangguan Mu 'er.
"What if I'm no longer here?" Jianchen sighed gently. He looked at Shangguan Mu 'er as a sliver of guilt flashed through the depths of his eyes.
He suddenly felt very lost about his future path. He had no idea where Shangguan Mu 'er would go when he left the Saints' World one day.
Would she go to the Immortals' World with him or remain in the Saints' World?
The current situation of the Immortals' World was unknown. No one knew what would happen if he went there, whether it would be a blessing or a disaster.
This was because a sliver of the Samsaric Immortal Exalt's soul had told Jianchen back in Poseidon's palace, "Recklessly returning to the Immortals' World before you've become powerful might not be a good thing for you."
Jian Chen had divulged far too much information from that short conversation.
As a result, Jianchen did not wish for Shangguan Mu 'er to continue risking her life in the Immortals' World with him. And as the successor of the Third Ancestor, it was not suitable for her to go to the Immortals' World either.
However, if she did not go to the Immortals' World and remained in the Saints' World, she would also be dragged down by him. As the successor of the Third Ancestor, she would definitely be condemned for having a person from the Immortals' World as her husband.
"If you're no longer here, I'll protect the Tianyuan family," Shangguan Mu 'er said firmly. Shangguan Mu 'er said firmly. She stared into the distance with a chilling determination.
Jianchen sighed inside. How could he bear to place all the burden on Shangguan Mu 'er? In particular, when he thought about how a woman like Shangguan Mu' er would have to shoulder the burden of the entire clan in the future, he felt very uncomfortable.
"I hope I'll have the chance to leave quietly in the future. That way, Shangguan Mu 'er will be able to relax a little," Jianchen could only pray inside.
However, it was not like he had no trump cards. He still had the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng as his last resort. However, he could not guarantee whether the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng's trump card would still be useful once his identity was exposed.
Boom!
At this moment, a violent rumble rang out from the front courtyard of the Tianyuan family. Powerful ripples of energy wreaked havoc, directly tearing the discussion hall to pieces.
The sudden occurrence interrupted Jianchen's thoughts. His face immediately became ugly, and he immediately used the Laws of Space to teleport over.
The front courtyard of the Tianyuan family had already descended into darkness. This was the Laws of Darkness of Infinite Primes. Once trapped, even the Divine King would become blind.
The person who had done this was a middle-aged man in black clothes. He hid in the darkness and stabbed Xi Yu with a sword of darkness.
Xi Yu wore god artifact armor and was surrounded by three layers of light. Every single layer was a defensive treasure. They were very powerful, enough to block an attack from a Primordial realm expert.
These were all items that her father, Emperor Xi, had given her to protect her life.
But at that very moment, a small hole had appeared in the three layers of protection. All three layers of protection had been pierced through by the black-robed man's sword. In the end, a deep sword mark was left on Xi Yu's divine armor.
The black-clothed man's attack was simply too powerful. After piercing through Xi Yu's three layers of defence, the residual power was still not something that the divine artifact armour could completely nullify. A portion of the power still managed to pass through the divine artifact armour and reach Xi Yu.
Blood sprayed from Xi Yu's mouth as she was blown away. She collided heavily against a stone wall behind her and was heavily injured.
Seeing how his attack had failed to kill Xi Yu, a sliver of pity appeared in the man's eyes. However, he made up his mind and did not launch a second attack. Immediately, he retreated and hid in the darkness again.
At the same time, a huge hand condensed from energy extended out from the depths of the Tianyuan family. Wherever it passed by, space distorted violently as it reached towards the man with lightning speed.
This was Xu Ran. Before her hand had even landed, a tremendous pressure had arrived first, sealing up the space where the man was.
However, Xu Ran's hand grabbed empty air. The black-robed man had already disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
In the next moment, the senses of Xu Ran's soul immediately expanded. The tremendous senses of a Chaotic Prime enveloped the entire Pingtian Empire in an attempt to find where the man was hiding.
However, Xu Ran returned empty-handed in the end. The black-clothed man was clearly an extremely skilled assassin. Although he was only an Infinite Prime, his ability to conceal himself was extremely impressive. Even an expert like Xu Ran failed to discover him.
The Laws of Darkness that enveloped the Tianyuan family vanished with the man's departure. Jianchen had already arrived at a certain time. He currently stood where the man had vanished from with his eyes closed as if he was sensing for something carefully.
Only now did the Primordial realm protectors of the Tianyuan family hurry over, but they did not even see the assassin's shadow.
The man had moved far too quickly when he tried to assassinate Xi Yu. From the moment he attacked to the moment he retreated, all of it happened in a single instance. He moved so quickly and so quickly that the experts of the Tianyuan family were unable to react in time.
Xu Ran appeared in the sky as well. She had come personally. She hovered in the air as she radiated with a tremendous pressure.
Her expression was very ugly. An Infinite Prime had actually managed to escape right under her nose. As a Chaotic Prime, she felt humiliated.
In particular, when she saw the three shattered barriers of light around Xi Yu and the deep sword mark on her god artifact armor, her face became extremely gloomy.
