Chapter 3297

In a firmly-shut meeting room, the upper echelon of the Xia Merchant Union all spoke up with righteous indignation, except their fury also contained a hint of powerlessness.

Even their union leader Xia Jianming furrowed his brows, at a loss over what to do.

After all, the people who had swallowed their businesses were not nobodies. They were the Tyrant Emperor clan in control of Tyrant Emperor city.

In the peace region, there were nine peak organisations that corresponded to the nine imperial cities.

The nine imperial cities were the law-makers of the Peace region. They came up with various rules and governed the Peace region together.

One of the rules were the nine imperial cities were forbidden from infringing on the three great merchant unions. Otherwise, the eight other imperial cities would work together to oppress them.

Of course, the three merchant unions did not get this benefit for free. They needed to pay thirty percent of their income to the nine imperial cities.

"Tyrant Emperor city definitely isn't foolish enough to take on the risk of becoming everyone's enemy to proactively challenge the rules mutually agreed upon by the nine imperial cities. Looks like something big is about to happen in the Peace region," Xia Jianming said sternly. He immediately recalled how the two ancestors of the Xiong family and the Zhan family had hunted him down, as well as the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's shadow behind all of this.

With what happened in Tyrant Emperor city, he immediately experienced an ill omen.

"Xia Jianming!" At this moment, the senses of someone's soul enveloped Xia Jianming. A voice that only he could hear rang out.

It was Jian Chen's voice. His soul was clearly much stronger than when he was in Death Valley back then. He could already communicate from over twenty million kilometres away.

"Greetings, master!" Xiao Jianming became stern and replied in a similar manner.

"Gather some of these heavenly resources. Deliver them to me as quickly as you can," Jian Chen said and listed several dozen heavenly resources.

"Yes, master!" Xia Jianming agreed without any hesitation. However, when he heard what the heavenly resources were, he immediately became troubled. "Master, among these heavenly resources, there are six relatively precious varieties only available in the branch in Tyrant Emperor city, but now, the branch has been occupied by the Tyrant Emperor clan, so all the heavenly resources there have ended up in their hands. We can't retrieve them anymore."

"Then pay a visit to the Tyrant Emperor clan, find the person in charge and take back everything. Don't worry, I'll be assisting you on the side," Jian Chen said easily.

Xia Jianming immediately beamed with joy when he heard that. He said in a hurry, "Yes, master. I'll go to the Tyrant Emperor clan and gather everything you require in the shortest time possible."

Afterwards, Xia Jianming adjusted his mental state and glanced past all the people seated there. "We'll stop here for today. Regarding the businesses that the Tyrant Emperor clan has swallowed, I'll go deal with it personally."

After a few quick instructions, Xia Jianming dismissed the meeting before secretly leaving the secret stronghold of the Xia Merchant Union.

Before long, Xia Jianming had already arrived outside the Tyrant Emperor clan. He directly stated his intentions, wishing to meet with the person truly in charge of the Tyrant Emperor clan, the Tyrant Emperor.

In a dim room, a burly, middle-aged man sat on the ground within the Tyrant Emperor clan. He radiated with a powerful pressure.

He was one of the nine emperors of the Peace region, the Tyrant Emperor!

The Tyrant Emperor was not his true name. It was only a title he enjoyed as one of the nine emperors of the Peace region.

"Ancestor, Xia Jianming of the Xian Merchant Union wishes to see you!" At this moment, a respectful voice rang out from outside the room.

"Send him away. Tell him to go back to where he came from!" the Tyrant Emperor said coldly with his eyes shut.

"Yes!" The high-ranking member who brought the message backed down politely before returning to the entrance of the Tyrant Emperor clan and arriving in front of Xia Jianming.

"Union leader Xia, I truly must apologise. The ancestor is currently in secluded cultivation, so it's inconvenient for him to meet with you. Please return." The high-ranking member of the Tyrant Emperor clan spoke relatively politely. Xia Jianming was not as powerful as the nine emperors, but he was still a person of renown in the Peace region.

Xia Jianming furrowed his brows when he heard that. Right when he had no idea what to do, Jian Chen's voice rang out, "Directly force your way in!"

Xia Jianming's heart leapt in fright. He said hesitantly, "Master, the Tyrant Emperor is a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Do you really want to offend him this far?"

"The Tyrant Emperor doesn't want to see you, and he's already made up his mind about swallowing your businesses. Since he's already gone so far, why show him any respect?"

"If I want you to force your way in, just do it. With me around, what're you afraid of?" Jian Chen's voice clearly sounded rather impatient.

"Yes, master!" Xia Jianming replied politely. He glanced at the imposing Tyrant Emperor clan right before his eyes and wiped away his sweat. This was one of the nine emperors that ruled over the Peace region after all. With an emperor present in person, there were not a lot of people in the entire Peace region bold enough to challenge their dignity.

Xia Jianming took out a flask of alcohol from his Space Ring. He removed the cap and drank away heartily. Before long, he had emptied the entire flask. He tossed the flask aside and erupted with his presence, using the courage from his tipsiness to force his way into the Tyrant Emperor clan.

Boom! The Tyrant Emperor clan's entrance was immediately smashed to pieces, and the many ornamental plants inside the clan were blown away by Xia Jianming's presence.

"Union leader Xia, what are you doing?"

"Union leader Xia, this is the Tyrant Emperor clan. How dare you barge in. Are you tired of living?"

Many experts flew out from everywhere in the Tyrant Emperor clan, all gathering around Xia Jianming, wanting to stop him.

However, these people were all just Godkings. Even when they possessed an advantage in numbers, how could they stop a Third Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime like Xia Jianming? Even though he had yet to completely recover from his injuries, which affected his battle prowess, a group of Godkings still were not his opponent.

Xia Jianming swung his hands. The energy in his body erupted like a tsunami, repelling all of the Godking elders that approached him.

He still possessed qualms about the Tyrant Emperor clan, so he was afraid of completely offending the Tyrant Emperor clan. As a result, he maintained a very precise control over his attacks, only repelling these people without killing them.

"Xia Jianming, you're asking to die. How dare you challenge our Tyrant Emperor clan? Even if you're the leader of the Xia Merchant Union, you won't be able to withstand the consequences!"

An old voice rang out from the Tyrant Emperor clan. A Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime ancestor of the Tyrant Emperor clan had been mobilised. He emerged from the room that he spent many years cultivating in seclusion in, wanting to stop Xia Jianming.

But at this moment, the Laws of Space silently descended, freezing the space there immediately. The Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime of the Tyrant Emperor clan was completely immobilised at the entrance of his room.

At the entrance of the Tyrant Emperor clan, Xia Jianming also became fearful after hearing the old man's voice. However, before the Primordial realm expert could reach him, Jian Chen's voice instead rang out in his ear again.

"Go to the very depths and directly find the strongest expert of the Tyrant Emperor clan."

Xia Jianmin shivered inside. He immediately understood that the Primordial realm expert of the Tyrant Emperor clan had been stopped by Jian Chen. Without saying anything more, he followed Jian Chen's instructions and rampaged through the Tyrant Emperor clan, smashing through the obstructions and directly entering a secret room in the end, arriving before the Tyrant Emperor.

The Tyrant Emperor was a middle-aged man. His figure was extremely burly. The muscles on his body bulged like they contained explosive power.

At this moment, he was seated on the floor of the secret room just like before. His burly figure was like a statue, sitting without budging at all. However, his eyes were wide open, staring at Xia Jianming with an extremely ugly complexion.

Xia Jianming directly stared at the Tyrant Emperor. His eyes shone with a strange colour, but he did not forget about courtesy. He bowed deeply towards the Tyrant Emperor. "Greetings, Tyrant Emperor!"

The Tyrant Emperor sat without budging, except his eyes were extremely sharp, but they also contained a hint of shock that he was unable to keep disguised.

"What do you want, Xia Jianming?" the Tyrant Emperor said sternly. He seemed dignified on the surface. However, Xia Jianming, who was familiar with the Tyrant Emperor, could clearly sense a hint of timidness in his voice despite his tough outward appearance.
