Chapter 3308

Jian Chen coughed a few times. With each cough, blood spurted out. Coupled with his sickly complexion, it was obvious that he was in quite a horrible state.

However, even though his body was in trouble, he sat firmly on the stone seat. He seemed as sturdy as a rock, like he would never fall.

"You don't have to worry about anything else. Feel free to bring the people of your White Emperor clan over. As long as you're in this courtyard, no one can threaten you. It'll be difficult to say if you're somewhere else."

"Xia Jianming, you need to accelerate the expansion of the Xia Merchant Union. Try to occupy the entire Peace region. Afterwards, bring me all the Lifesoul Flowers in the entire Peace region."

After saying that, Jian Chen suddenly vanished from the stone seat. He had already left through the Laws of Space, returning to his own room.

Xia Jianming bowed deeply in the direction of Jian Chen's room before hurrying off to complete the mission that Jian Chen had given to him with his utmost attention.

With Xia Jianming's departure, only Bai Yurou, Chu Tianxing, and Bai Yueye remained in the enormous courtyard.

As Jian Chen had dismissed all the servants, the entire courtyard seemed quite empty.

"Sister Yurou, w-will that senior be fine? He seems to be very heavily injured." Bai Yueye turned towards Bai Yurou. She was filled with worry.

Jian Chen's strength had left her shocked, but it also gave her a sliver of hope, hope that they could survive the threat of the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King.

But now, the sliver of hope seemed like it could collapse at any moment.

Bai Yurou was also slightly worried. Jian Chen spoke very confidently, but his state gave Bai Yurou and Chu Tianxing no confidence at all.

They could all tell that Jian Chen could indeed fend off the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King and even repel him.

But in their eyes, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King had retreated with ease, while Jian Chen had paid an extremely great price, ending up heavily injured.

He had probably used some kind of forbidden technique to repel the heavenly king.

"We have no other choice either right now. After all, this is our only chance at survival. We should move all our remaining clansmen here." Bai Yurou sighed gently and left the courtyard with Chu Tianxing and Bai Yueye.

Within a room, Jian Chen sat on a jade bed and slowly took off his bloodied clothes, revealing vicious wounds across his entire body.

These wounds were extremely terrifying. Every single one of them was extremely deep, basically covering his entire body.

And at this moment, blood flowed from all of these wounds.

Gazing at the injuries on his body, Jian Chen let out a sigh inside. He was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

These wounds were all a result of the laws of the Wood Spirits World when he first arrived here. The power of the laws lingered in them.

The power of the laws was connected to the sovereign god artifact that hung in the sky, so he was completely incapable of cleansing them. As a result, he was unable to recover from his injuries.

When he faced the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King, he had used a bit of his physical strength, which reopened the wounds.

Of course, none of this was a big deal. After all, he could hold on with the Chaotic Body.

The truly severe aspect was his soul.

"The small part of my soul that's only just recovered has split open again. A full recovery of my soul truly won't happen in the foreseeable future." Jian Chen sighed gently. A few droplets immediately appeared out of thin air.

He had refined the droplets of fluid from all the Lifesoul Flowers in his possession. It contained the essence of the Lifesoul Flowers.

Afterwards, the droplets of fluid directly merged with his forehead, beginning to nourish his soul.

If his soul was a dried field, then the essence refined from the Lifesoul Flower was dew.

A few droplets of dew were not enough to irrigate an entire dried field, but if he could accumulate the droplets of dew and eventually form an ocean, the dried field would obviously be fully watered.

"Lifesoul Flowers can repair my soul, but I can't be hasty. I can only nourish it slowly," Jian Chen murmured. Afterwards, with a flip of his hand, an imprint immediately appeared, giving off a strange presence.

Jian Chen studied the imprint in his hand carefully with a sense of wonder. "Is this a so-called ancestral imprint? Isn't this just a product of when the energy and presence given off by the sovereign god artifact reaches a certain density and condenses together?"

"Though, while it's just condensed from the presence, it does indeed have a slight connection with the sovereign god artifact."

Thinking about that, Jian Chen stowed the ancestral imprint away again. He wanted to make the sovereign god artifact his, so the ancestral imprint might serve a purpose then.

Only two people stood before one another in the majestic, spacious discussion hall of the Sword Emperor's estate.

One of them was a scholarly middle-aged man, the lord of Sword Emperor city, the Sword Emperor!

Before the Sword Emperor was an old man with white eyebrows and hair. Dressed in white robes, he seemed quite sage-like.

The old man was the only other Primordial realm expert of the Sword Emperor clan, ancestor Li!

"Have you really decided on submitting to the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King with the entire Sword Emperor clan? Once you do that, our Sword Emperor clan will be servants to him." Ancestor Li let out a long sigh and stared at the Sword Emperor.

"We've already lost our influence in the Peace region. The only path of survival before us is submission. I'm not afraid of dying, but I can't make the entire clan face destruction because of me." The Sword Emperor sighed gently. His face was filled with a sense of powerlessness as he said dispiritedly, "Several of the nine imperial cities have already been destroyed. I don't want our Sword Emperor clan to follow their footsteps."

"I can already sense the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's presence. He's already arrived in Sword Emperor city. Once he comes, our Sword Emperor clan will submit."

"Sigh, for the continuation of the clan, we can only bow down." Ancestor Li shook his head gently. He was also rather dispirited.

Afterwards, neither ancestor Li nor the Sword Emperor said anything more. They stood quietly in the majestic hall, waiting for the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's arrival.

And that wait lasted for an entire day and night.

"Why isn't the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King here yet?" Ancestor Li lost his patience and asked.

The Sword Emperor's gaze was deep. He peered off in a certain direction and said, "The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King came in an aggressive manner, without making any attempt to erase his presence, so I can sense that he's already entered Sword Emperor city."

"Except soon after he entered the city, he headed off in a different direction, and he hasn't appeared since then."

The Sword Emperor was rather curious as well. Sword Emperor city was his territory. He struggled to imagine just what could interest a heavenly king in his city to such a degree that he still had not come here after a day and a night.

He was obviously aware that Bai Yurou and the others were in the city, but he did not believe Bai Yurou could take up so much of the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's time.

Earlier, when Jian Chen and the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King clashed, Jian Chen had already locked down the entire courtyard prematurely through the spatial barrier, isolating it from Sword Emperor city.

As a result, as long as the spatial barrier remained intact, none of the disturbances could leave the courtyard.

The Sword Emperor was obviously unaware of all this as he remained in his estate the entire time.
