The Crisis Has Just Started


    3/14 chapter!


    In truth, Second Guardian wasn’t surprised by Jiang Chen’s response. It would be unexpected if Jiang Chen agreed to let Eighth Guardian and Deste Emperor go. He had fallen into Jiang Chen’s trap when he offered the terms of the battle. Now that the terms were mutually agreed and the battle was over, they were in a dilemma whether to retreat or advance.


    “Second Brother, what now? Eighth Sister and Pce Master have already fallen into Jiang Chen’s custody which makes it hard for us to advance.” A guardian neared Second Guardian and spoke.


    At this time, few of the half-step Human Immortal Supreme Elders approached Second Guardian.


    “Second Guardian, I think we should retreat first. Then we will discuss about how we will deal with these three major pces. They won’t be able to create any waves of chaos even if they have a few more days of time. The oue will be the same. There’s no one that can stop our pce from ruling the entire Saint Origin Pce.” A Supreme Elder said.


    “Alright. We’ll let them live two more days. Tear off the submissive contract. They won’t have the chance to sign this contract anymore. Soon, they will be greeted by extinction andplete destruction.” Second Guardian said maliciously.


    He had not expected to encounter such arge obstacle in his first battle after the seeding in his cultivation. It made him feel as if a thorn was jabbed into his heart. It was the greatest humiliation he had ever suffered.


    “Jiang Chen, this will be yourst chance. If you let Deste Emperor and Eighth Guardian go now and submit yourselves to us, I guarantee Deste Pce will never create trouble for you all anymore. If you decline my offer, you should be able to imagine the oue of such action. Our forces is unstoppable. The three pces will lose the only chance of signing the submissive contract. Then, whatever awaits you all in the end will be annihtion,” said Second Guardian sternly.


    “I don’t think the annihtion of both armies will be a big deal. I am waiting for it,” replied Jiang Chen incisively.


    This was the first direct confrontation he had against Deste Pce. He would never show any quarters to them. To him, the submissive contract was totally ridiculous. He was the majestic world’s Greatest Saint and the greatest cultivator in his past life. In this life, he would return to the height he once reached by stepping on all his formidable and powerful enemies ruthlessly. Presently, Deste Pce was the strongest enemy he had faced so far.


    “Very well. You three pces will pay a high price for what you decided today.”


    Second Guardian tore off three submissive contracts immediately, showing them that they had lost their chance to live. Deste Pce would deal with them with the cruelest means, ensuring that they wouldn’t have the chance to survive.


    “Retreat!”


    Second Guardian waved, and disappeared with the army.


    Seeing what happened, all the experts of three major pces cheered once more. Their despair disappeared in an instant. Previously, they had almost lost their hopes until Jiang Chen emerged, reversing the critical situation. This had raised their impression of him. Everyone including Bin Changxiao was staring at him with respect.


    “Jiang Chen, from today onwards we will scrape off the grudge and revenge between you and our pce. Bin Pce owes you a great kindness for saving our lives.” Bin Changxiao neared Jiang Chen and spoke earnestly.


    “It is very wise for Bin pce master to ally yourself with us. I, Jiang Chen, always liked to mix with people who are sensible.” Jiang Chen smiled and said.


    As a matter of fact, Jiang Chen hadn’t gained anything from Bin Pce, but he had killed many of their people. Naturally, he wouldn’t decline them when they had decided to form an alliance with the two pces during a moment of crisis. In addition, he believed that Bin Changxiao was sincere.


    “Jiang Chen, with Deste Emperor and Eighth Guardian in our grasp right now, I believe Deste Pce won’t dare to act rashly.” Gu Firmament said with a smile.


    His current mood was totally different from his previous gloomy mood.


    “It’s too early to celebrate now. Our crisis hasn’t passed yet. We were just able to obtain a few days’ time. Now, all of you follow me into the meeting hall for discussion.” Jiang Chen’s tone turned solemn suddenly.


    Later, he led the experts back to the meeting hall.


    Those who had heaved a long sigh of relief felt uneasy once more; they could never ignore Jiang Chen’s words.


    In the meeting hall of Gu Pce, Jiang Chen sat on the seat of honor. Even the half-step Human Immortal old ancestors sat below his two sides willingly. Everyone in the hall was clear that this youth in white was the backbone of the three major pces. Every one of them was obliged to follow Jiang Chen’s arrangements and orders. Only this could minimize the risk of getting annihted.


    “Jiang Chen, Deste Emperor holds the highest position and power in Deste Pce. Despite Deste Pce has longed to rule the entire Saint Origin Pce, they can’t possibly ignore the life of Deste Emperor,” said Gu Firmament.


    “You all have underestimated the forces of Deste Pce and overrated the role of Deste Emperor. Let me tell you all their secret now. Did you ever doubt how those peerless geniuses were produced? Despite the strength of Deste Pce now, they were rtively simr to any of you. But why could they nurture so many terrifying geniuses?” asked Jiang Chen grimly.


    “This is a question which we have been thinking about, but we found no answer to that. Jiang Chen, what’s their secret of nurturing all these peerless geniuses?” An old ancestor of Gu Pce asked.


    He was a half-step Human Immortal expert. Even if he expended a lifetime’s worth of effort to produce a peerless genius, he wouldn’t be able to nurture a genius as powerful as any of those twelve guardians.


    “That’s because in thest hundred years, those Human Immortal ancestors who were supposed to ascend to the Immortal World had secretly hidden in Deste Pce.”


    Jiang Chen’s words sent shocking waves to their mind, causing a mor. Everyone’s facial expression changed instantly.


    “What? All the Human Immortals didn’t ascend to the Immortal World? That’s absolutely impossibly. Take us for example, if we were to break through to the Human Immortal realm, we will break away from the Mortal realm and be a true Immortal, and would no longer be able to stay in Saint Origin World. Even if we insist to stay, the traction force of the Immortal World will pull us up. So how could the Human Immortals of Deste Pce remain in the Mortal World?” The old ancestor of Gu Pce shook his head.


    “That’s right. This is thew of nature. No one can break it.”


    The old ancestors of Demon Pce and Bin Pce agreed with what the old ancestor of Gu Pce said. It was impossible to remain in Saint Origin World after breaking through to the Immortal realm.


    “You all are right about that. But I have to mention one man—Ancestor Greenlotus,” said Jiang Chen.


    “Ancestor Greenlotus died tragically under the heavenly tribtion while he was ascending to the Immortal World. What does this have to do with him?” Someone asked.


    “What a joke! Given Ancestor Greenlotus’ ability, how could he die tragically under the heavenly tribtion while ascending to the Immortal World? Tell me, which of the old ancestor of the eight major pces is on par with Ancestor Greenlotus’ strength? He wasn’t dead at all. There was once when he discovered a treasure in the Immortal Possessive Mountain that could deceive thew of Heaven. After Deste Pce learned about his great encounter, they plotted against him and captured him during the time of his heavenly tribtion. All these years, Ancestor Greenlotus had been kept in the cell inside Deste Pce. That was how those Human Immortal experts could stay in Saint Origin Pce over the past 100 years,” said Jiang Chen.


    At this point in time, it was no longer necessary for him to hide the secret from them.


    “What? I can’t believe there was such a thing.”


    “Yeah. Ancestor Greenlotus was a fine and consummate monk of Buddha Sect. There was no reason he would fail when even our old ancestors could seed the heavenly tribtion. So it turns out that Deste Pce has hidden such a big secret from us.”


    “Dang it! Deste Pce does have a huge scheme. It seems the purpose of training those guardians secretly is for the rise of Deste Pce.”


    “Human Immortal experts can never attack because their power was too strong. This world won’t be able to stand it and that might trigger the traction force of the Immortal World. Basically, they were forbidden to attack. That was why they secretly trained those geniuses. They wanted Deste Pce to be strong enough to conquer the entire Saint Origin Pce.”


    …………


    Neither of them in the hall was a fool. They were able to draw a conclusion after listening to Jiang Chen. They were astonished to their core. No one would be able or would dare to figure out that Deste Pce had hidden their Human Immortals.


    To them, this was literally an impossible thing, but they had reason to believe it when it wasing from Jiang Chen’s mouth.


    No one asked Jiang Chen how he knew about the secret because they had viewed Jiang Chen as an omnipotent being. Therefore, it wasn’t very surprising for him to know a big secret like this.


    “That’s correct. Deste Pce’s intention is clear. So if you all think that relying solely on Deste Emperor and Eighth Guardian can stop Deste Pce, you all are simply too na?ve. Those Human Immortal old ancestors have been nning for this day for a hundred years, how can they possibly give up just because of Deste Emperor? Besides, Deste Emperor’s role isn’t as important as you thought. As such, I estimate that Deste Pce will strike back after at most three days’ time. By that time, Deste Emperor will be a useless hostage.”


    As soon as Jiang Chen’s voice dropped, tense atmosphere rippled through the whole meeting hall. All their facial expression turned ugly again because they knew Jiang Chen was right. If Deste Pce’s secret was real, Deste Emperor wouldn’t weigh so much to them and holding him hostage could never stop their footsteps.


    Three days’ time was going to be the countdown to their extinction. No, they were afraid that these three days’ of time was just a tentative prediction.


    So, what are they going to do now?
