Jian Chen did not doubt the Heartless Child's words too much. If he stood on the side of the Darkstar race, he would have left behind a method to keep the Saints of the World in check when his race paid a great price to send them away. This was to prevent the two of them from losing control in the future and ending up with nothing.
Moreover, he recalled how Tian Shengxian had behaved in front of the Darkstar Emperor. Even though Tian Shengxian was neither servile nor overbearing in front of the Darkstar Emperor, he seemed to be obedient to all of the Darkstar Emperor's words and orders. He had never once objected.
It really did seem like the difference between a ruler and a subject.
If he did not know Tian Shengxian's true identity, then so be it. But now, he knew Tian Shengxian was the master of the Myriad Bone Guild, a Ninth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime. Yet, such a great figure who could do whatever he wanted in the Saints' World actually behaved like this before a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime like the Darkstar Emperor.
This also indirectly proved that the Heartless Child's words were true.
Perhaps calling it a slave imprint was a little harsh, but it was enough to make the Saint of Heaven and Earth obey the Darkstar Emperor.
"Senior, aren't you worried that the Darkstar race will learn about this?" Jianchen seemed to ask casually, but he was actually extremely cautious.
The Heartless Child glanced at Jianchen deeply and said, "Although a few people in the Saints' World know about this, they're all great figures who stand above the clouds. In their eyes, the fate of the Darkstar race doesn't matter at all. They don't take a weak race seriously at all. As for those with lower cultivation, you're the only one who knows about this. "
"You're a smart person. Naturally, you know what to say and what not to say …" The Heartless Child's tone carried a hint of threat.
A somewhat profound smile hung on the corners of his mouth as he thought in his heart. "Moreover, you won't have the life to enter the Dark Star Realm a second time …"
The Heartless Child returned to the Saints' World very quickly with Jianchen. He personally escorted Jianchen through the endless space with indescribable speed, only stopping when they arrived outside the Cloud Plane.
"We're here, Jianchen. Back then, I took you away from Cloud State. Now that I've brought you back, it's a great success. This time, you've helped us greatly in the Dark Star Realm. Our Myriad Bone Guild owes you an enormous favor. In the future, if you have any problems that you cannot resolve, you can use this token to go to any of the branches of our Myriad Bone Guild outside. Through the branches, you can directly contact me. "The Heartless Child handed a token to Jianchen.
Jianchen immediately thanked him. After accepting the medallion, he bid farewell to the Heartless Child. Afterwards, he looked at the huge piece of land that floated in outer space nearby, and his emotions fluctuated.
He had finally returned to the Cloud Plane!
In the depths of outer space, the Heartless Child did not go far away. Instead, he hovered there as he stared at the piece of land that was only the size of a fingernail. A sliver of pity appeared in his eyes.
A while later, he sighed gently and turned around to leave. He walked through the endless space, and with every step, the stars in his surroundings would change. It was like worlds were passing by.
He had no idea how far he had travelled before arriving in a deathly silent region of outer space. He entered a huge bone tower that floated there.
"How did it go?"
As soon as the Heartless Child returned, an obscure voice rang out from the top of the bone tower.
"There was a small accident. Saint One died, but things went rather smoothly for Jianchen. The only pity is that Jianchen doesn't seem to trust me. He clearly knows that the injuries of the divine beast are worsening, yet he never asked for my help, "the Heartless Child sighed.
"If that's the case, let's use the second plan. Looking at the time, the Anatta Grand Exalt should be returning soon. We have to kill Jianchen to the Wind Venerable before the Grand Exalt returns. Whether or not our Myriad Bone Guild can survive the calamity of Venerable Feng will depend on this step … "
The Heartless Child's face became stern. He said with a deep voice, "This concerns the life and death of us brothers. How can I be careless? I will personally take care of this. I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"Remember, you can't leave behind any traces. The Grand Exalt is extremely powerful. I'm sure you know just how terrifying such a supreme being who is like the Heavenly Dao is …"
.....
Xi Yu sat in the Tianyuan family's main hall within the Pingtian Empire of the southern region of the Cloud Plane as she listened to the reports from her subordinates.
"Yesterday, eighteen low grade divine crystal mines, eight medium grade divine crystal mines, and three high grade divine crystal mines were severely robbed at the same time in the mines under our Tianyuan family's jurisdiction. As a result, we've lost ninety percent of the divine crystals we've mined in the past month. Based on a rough estimate, we've lost close to ten million supreme grade divine crystals."
"Moreover, after careful investigations, we've discovered that the two supreme grade divine crystal mines under our Tianyuan family's control were heavily embezzled. Most of the divine crystals we mined ended up in the hands of various managers. Less than half of the divine crystals were actually handed over to the clan …"
Xi Yu's brows remained tightly furrowed as she listened to her subordinates' reports. She said with a sunken face, "We've sent Divine King realm experts to guard all of the low grade, medium grade, and high grade divine crystal mines. In particular, we've specially sent many Divine King realm experts to guard the high grade divine crystal mine. Can't even so many Divine King realm experts stop a few thieves?"
Xi Yu slammed the table and stood up angrily. She said furiously, "In just a month, we've lost close to ten million supreme grade divine crystals. The mighty Divine King can't even keep watch over a few divine crystal mines. What use do our Tianyuan family have for them?"
"And the management has actually embezzled the two supreme grade divine crystal mines. How dare they? What do they think our Tianyuan family is? Do they think we're a personal treasury for accumulating wealth and resources? Investigate. Get to the bottom of this. Investigate all the people involved in this matter. Do not miss a single one of them. "
The subordinates who were reporting stood below in fear. Their foreheads were covered with cold sweat as they said in a troubled manner, "Vice-patriarch, it's very difficult for us to continue investigating this matter because they've done it far too stealthily. Although we've discovered some traces, we can't provide any substantial evidence. Moreover, we've discovered that there are quite a few protectors behind this matter. These protectors are all Primordial realm experts. Even if you want us to investigate, we wouldn't dare to. "
