Chapter 3298
"The Tyrant Emperor has actually been restrained by master's Laws of Space as well!"
Xia Jianming obviously realised what was going on from the Tyrant Emperor's abnormal behaviour, which left him shocked inside.
The person before him was the Tyrant Emperor, a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. His strength was well beyond the ancestor of the Zhan family.
Yet in the end, even someone as powerful as the Tyrant Emperor had still been restrained, which once again renewed Xia Jianming's understanding of Jian Chen's strength.
Sucking in a deep breath, Xia Jianming slowly calmed himself down and said, "Tyrant Emperor, I want to take back the businesses and properties that belong to our Xia Merchant Union."
"You're welcome to take back your businesses and properties at any time. If you have incurred any losses, our Tyrant Emperor clan will compensate you tenfold." The Tyrant Emperor was straightforward, returning all the properties and businesses they had seized from the Xia Merchant Union without any hesitation.
He had no other choice but to do so. A supreme expert had secretly restrained him, such that he could not offer up any resistance even with his strength. He was definitely in his weakest state right now, not only immobilised, but even forced to remain there like a sitting duck, completely at the mercy of others.
Xia Jianming let out a smile of relief. Earlier, during the meeting between the important members of the Xia Merchant Union, he originally believed that reclaiming the properties and businesses taken by the Tyrant Emperor clan was absolutely difficult or even impossible.
He had never thought that he could take it all back so effortlessly with his master's secret assistance.
"Tyrant Emperor, there is something that perplexes me. The nine imperial cities of the Peace region have mutually set down the rule that no one is permitted to infringe on the three merchant unions. Why have you ignored the rule now?"
Xia Jianming's eyes shone brightly as he stared straight at the Tyrant Emperor, speaking with vigour, "Aren't you afraid of being attacked by the eight other imperial cities by doing this, Tyrant Emperor?"
"The Peace region is about to face an unprecedented upheaval. The rules of the past will cease to exist very soon, and several of the nine imperial cities that rule over the Peace region will perish as well. Under these circumstances, who would still care about the rules of the past?" the Tyrant Emperor said with an ugly expression.
Normally, he would not even bother acknowledging Xia Jianming, but now, an extremely powerful expert had appeared behind him. With such a backing, the Tyrant Emperor had no other choice but to answer Xia Jianming's questions.
That was because even he did not know whether Xia Jianming's questions had been asked under the instructions of the person behind him. If the person behind Xia Jianming wanted answers, then the consequences would be far greater than he could bear if he refused to comply.
With that, Xia Jianming's expression changed. He had already possessed some guesses in the past. The Tyrant Emperor's words had merely confirmed some of them.
With his objective achieved, Xia Jianming did not stay for much longer, leaving the Tyrant Emperor clan very soon.
After he left, the Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime that had been previously restrained appeared before the Tyrant Emperor. His expression was extremely ugly as he said sternly, "There's an extremely terrifying expert behind Xia Jianming. I had just been restrained by him through the Laws of Space. Hmph, how despicable. Our Tyrant Emperor clan has stood in the Peace region for all these years, yet it's the first time someone has ever forced their way in. Tyrant Emperor, what do you think we should do about this?"
The Tyrant Emperor stood up with a darkened expression and gritted his teeth. "What else can we do? Lock down this news as much as possible and prevent its spread to our greatest abilities. Let's hope that this matter's influence on our Tyrant Emperor clan can be minimised."
When he reached there, the Tyrant Emperor paused before continuing, "Also, return all of the Xia Merchant Union's properties and businesses as they are. If anything is missing, compensate them tenfold. Do you understand?"
"What? We even have to compensate them tenfold?" When he heard that, the Fourth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime was astounded. He stared at the Tyrant Emperor in shock and said sternly, "Tyrant Emperor, is the person behind Xia Jianming really that terrifying? So terrifying that you'll make such a great concession?" c.4887
"Hmph, you could be immobilised. Does that mean I was any different?" The Tyrant Emperor's gaze deepened as he said slowly, "The person behind Xia Jianming is so powerful that he's definitely not as simple as a regular Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. Against regular Ninth Heavenly Layer experts, even if I'm not their opponent, I won't be reduced to such a powerless state."

"He's extremely likely to be on par with heavenly kings!"
"Heavenly kings are no longer people we can deal with. We better report this to the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King and have him deal with it."
……
…
The Xia Merchant Union successfully took back all of their businesses and properties occupied by the Tyrant Emperor clan. They even received a huge compensation.
The Tyrant Emperor clan had only occupied a majority of the properties and businesses belonging to the Xia Merchant Union in Tyrant Emperor city. The remaining minority had been split between the other organisations in the city.
After learning that the Xia Merchant Union had taken back everything from the Tyrant Emperor clan, the remaining organisations all returned all of the businesses and properties as well, even offering up a great sum as compensation.
Xia Jianming moved swiftly. He left these miscellaneous matters to the people beneath him and personally returned to Sword Emperor city with everything that Jian Chen required as quickly as he could, handing them over to Jian Chen.
"Master, the Peace region is about to face an unprecedented upheaval. During this upheaval, even the nine imperial cities that have ruled over the region for all these years might vanish. Master, according to my experiences, the storm this time might be extremely terrifying. Do you think we should evade it?" Xia Jianming asked carefully with his head lowered in front of Jian Chen.
Jian Chen was indifferent. He directed all of his focus to the heavenly resources that Xia Jianming had brought to him, saying in an unconcerned manner, "That won't be necessary. Just do whatever you need to do. You don't have to worry about the rest."
With that, Jian Chen had already vanished. He appeared in a quiet room like he had teleported. Then he took out the several dozen heavenly resources brought by Xia Jianming and ingested them one by one.
He had selected them from the millions of heavenly resources available in the Wood Spirits World. They were all varieties that he believed to be most helpful to his wounds.
However, his injuries were rather special, so whether these heavenly resources were truly effective still needed some testing.
"Skyspiral Flower, useless."
"Lifebreath Fruit, useless."
"Fruit of Life-forging and Soul-moulding, useless."
……
…
As Jian Chen ingested the heavenly resources, he became more and more disappointed. The heavenly resources he had chosen diminished, but none of them had any effects on his injuries.
Even if there was a connection to the grade of the heavenly resource, they could not escape Jian Chen's sharp senses no matter how inferior they were in terms of quality. He could clearly tell whether these heavenly resources were actually useless or merely limited by their quality.
Out of all the heavenly resources he had ingested, all of them belonged to the former. It had nothing to do with quality.
No matter how high their quality was, they were still useless on the injuries to his soul and body.
These heavenly resources were only capable of healing regular injuries to the soul and body.
However, his injuries were not regular.
His soul had been glued together, fragment by fragment.
His body had been injured by the laws of the world.
"The reason why the heavenly resources in the space in my soul are effective is probably because they're contaminated with Xuanhuang Qi." Jian Chen sighed inside. He gazed at the five remaining heavenly resources, having already become slightly despaired.
He subconsciously picked up a heavenly resource and ingested it.
However, as soon as the heavenly resource reached his stomach, his body shuddered as his eyes became extremely bright.
"It's effective. This variety can actually heal the cracks in my soul." Jian Chen immediately became rather excited. "This heavenly resource should be called Lifesoul Flower!"
"Lifesoul Flowers can repair my soul!" Jian Chen thought. Even though the Lifesoul Flower was unable to truly benefit his soul due to its quality, he could still sense its effects.
