Chaotic Sword God Chapter 3328: The Fourth Ruler

Xia Jianming, Bai Yurou, and the Sword Emperor remained in place in the courtyard of the Xia Merchant Union. They did not even pace around.

Their eyes were all fixed in the same direction—the direction where the three rulers clashed.

None of them dared to use the senses of their souls, as that would be viewed as an insult to the rulers, an act of disrespect. As a result, they could only look over with their eyes.

Of course, all they could vaguely see were a few dark specks.

After all, they were too far away, several tens of thousand kilometres away!

“The three rulers have stopped!” The Sword Emperor’s voice was slightly excited as if a great burden had finally been lifted from his shoulders.

The Sword Emperor did not know what had happened exactly, but he was aware that the disaster that Sword Emperor city was about to face had been temporarily averted.

“Fellow Jian Chen has saved the millions of lives of my Sword Emperor city. All of the residents in Sword Emperor city will never forget about his great kindness.” The Sword Emperor was rather emotional. He also felt extremely fortunate. He felt fortunate that a supreme expert dwelled in Sword Emperor city, or Sword Emperor city would be done for today.

At the same time, a noisy disturbance could be vaguely heard outside the courtyard, together with the rumbling of energy collisions.

“Run! Everyone, run! The three rulers are about to reach Sword Emperor city! They’ve already levelled countless cities along the way!”

“Run away from Sword Emperor city!”

“How dare you! This belongs to our Luo family! Who dares to steal it!?”

“Hahahaha, you don’t even know if you can preserve your Luo family before a disaster caused by rulers. Who still cares about this? Once I rob you all, I’ll just flee to the Scarlet Blood Domain.”

The many cultivators in Sword Emperor city were clearly aware of the incoming disaster that Sword Emperor city was about to face. Some fled for their lives, while others used this opportunity to rob the households and stores of others. All sorts of noises and cries filled the city.

For a moment, the entirety of Sword Emperor city lost its usual order, falling into chaos. The weak were freely abused as the strong did as they pleased.

Some of the peak clans in Sword Emperor city already had flying ships rising into the air, fleeing from the city.

The Sword Emperor was clearly aware of all this in the courtyard of the Xia Merchant Union. He frowned and immediately sent a message to the Sword Emperor's estate.

In the next moment, the powerful presence of a Primordial realm expert erupted in the Sword Emperor’s estate. Ancestor Li took action personally, mobilising all of the defensive forces throughout the city to suppress the disturbance and maintain order.

As for the Sword Emperor, he did not leave the courtyard. Instead, he waited there patiently for Jian Chen’s return.

“Sigh, I only went to stop them from affecting Sword Emperor city. I didn’t think I’d end up as the lord of this place.”

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Bai Yurou, Xia Jianming, and the Sword Emperor who were still staring into the distance shivered inside and immediately looked down. They saw Jian Chen in the wheelchair again.

Even the Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime Sword Emperor failed to sense when Jian Chen had returned.

“Thank you for your assistance, fellow Jian Chen. From today onwards, you are the saviour of our Sword Emperor city.” The Sword Emperor immediately cupped his fist at Jian Chen. He had obviously heard Jian Chen’s mutterings to himself, but he was rather puzzled by it.

“Yeah.” Jian Chen nodded. “The three rulers no longer pose a threat to the Peace region. The war in the Peace region should come to a conclusion very soon.”

The Sword Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, uncertain about what was going on.

“War has been raging constantly in the Peace region recently. It’s severely affected the process of collecting Lifesoul Flowers. This works too. If the Peace region truly returns to peace, it’ll be beneficial to my recovery,” Jian Chen murmured. He smiled gently as if he had just imagined a wonderful sight.

At this moment, the Sword Emperor’s expression changed. A message talisman appeared in his hand and he sent the senses of his soul in. A piece of news directly appeared in his head.

Suddenly, the Sword Emperor stiffened, blanking out. His eyes became the size of bells as his face was filled with disbelief.

The Sword Emperor was not the only one who received the news. All the Infinite Primes in every corner of the Peace region received the same piece of news at that moment.

Without any exception, everyone who received the news was shocked. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

The news from the jade talisman originated from the Jade Centre Domain and the Grand Heaven Domain. It was not very long, but it was without a doubt a bombshell to any expert in the Peace region.

In the courtyard of the Xia Merchant Union, the Sword Emperor’s entire body trembled gently. He stared at Jian Chen and began to stutter, “Fellow Jian Chen, y-y-y-you’ve become the lord of the Peace region…”

The Sword Emperor had always viewed Jian Chen as a heavenly king, but he had never thought that Jian Chen was actually on par with rulers.

“Master deserves to have a territory of his own.” Xia Jianming seemed much more composed. He felt like everything made perfect sense.

He had also received the notice from the Grand Heaven Domain and the Jade Heaven Domain. He was aware that the Peace region had a new master.

And this master was Jian Chen who sat in the wheelchair right before him!

Only Bai Yurou, who had broken through to the Primordial realm recently, was confused. She had no idea what had happened.

At this moment, ancestor Li walked into the courtyard. His expression was mixed, arriving before Jian Chen and bowing. “I, Li Jiangshan, pay my respects to the ruler!”

Ancestor Li’s action immediately made the Sword Emperor shudder, returning to his senses. He immediately stood next to ancestor Li with an expression full of respect, bowing deeply towards Jian Chen. “Junior Jian Feng pays respects to the ruler!”

Jian Chen waved his hand. “This isn’t necessary. I’ve never stressed these courteous details, so you don’t have to bother with it in the future.”

“How could we be so bold? We must obviously uphold these courtesies as you are the lord of the Peace region,” Li Jiangshan stressed.

At this moment, Bai Yurou finally understood what had happened. She immediately blanked out.

“Enough, enough. Go and do what you need to do. Give me some peace,” Jian Chen rubbed his temples and said to Li Jiangshan and Jian Feng.

“Then we’ll be taking our leave!” The Sword Emperor’s attitude towards Jian Chen completely changed. He bowed towards Jian Chen with Li Jiangshan before leaving the courtyard.

The news that someone now lorded over the Peace region spread through the entire Peace region like wildfire. In the beginning, only Primordial realm experts were qualified enough to know about this, but it was subsequently spread to their subordinates.

The news was passed down layer by layer. Very soon, everyone knew about the new ruler in the Peace region. It led to a tremendous upheaval.

All of the experts stationed in the Peace region from the Grand Heaven Domain and Jade Centre Domain withdrew under the orders of the two rulers. They completely handed the Peace region over to Jian Chen.

However, while they withdrew, the people of the Scarlet Blood Domain remained where they were.

At this moment, in the imperial city occupied by the Scarlet Blood Domain, the Blood Slaughter Ruler stood emotionlessly in a divine hall. Many experts of the Scarlet Blood Domain gathered beneath him.

“Sir, the people of the Jade Centre Domain and Grand Heaven Domain have all withdrawn. What do we do now? Please give us further instructions,” a Primordial realm expert asked with clasped hands.

The Blood Slaughter Ruler stood with his hands behind his back. His eyes shone coldly. He remained silent for a very long time before saying slowly, “The Peace region has never been something that Jade Heaven and Heaven Fighting can decide. Their decision doesn’t represent me.”

The Blood Slaughter Ruler waved his hand. A map of the Peace region immediately appeared. He pointed at approximately a third of the Peace region. “Before the Peace region was created, this region belonged to our Scarlet Blood Domain. Pass on the order to mobilise everyone and occupy this region.”

“Yes, sir!”
