Chapter 2568: Jian Chen’s Counterattack

“Patriarch, may I ask who the invading organisation is? They’re clearly declaring war on us. They’ve taken three of our fortresses and millions of soldiers have fallen in battle,” Mo Xingfeng said in great pain.

The death of millions of soldiers was an extremely heavy loss for the Pingtian Empire. It would directly affect the overall strength of their empire.

After all, the Pingtian Empire had only progressed from a divine kingdom to an empire recently. It was impossible for them to rival those ancient empires that had existed for hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years.

As a matter of fact, over seventy percent of the troops in the entire empire were stationed at the four fortresses. Now that they had lost three of them, the Pingtian Empire immediately suffered great losses.

Xi Yu, who handled the day-to-day affairs of the Tian Yuan clan, had a frigid expression as well. She said coldly, “In order to build the three fortresses, our Tian Yuan clan used up a tremendous amount of resources. Now that the three fortresses have been destroyed, the losses are extravagant. There’s also the several million soldiers who have fallen in battle. This debt can only be settled with blood.”

“Just a few months ago, I stationed a thousand of my brothers from the Sword God Army at the eastern fortress so that they could go out for training whenever they wished. Now, they’re all dead as well. We can’t just let this be,” Nubis added coldly from his seat. His voice was filled with killing intent.

The Sword God Army was the army of the Tian Yuan clan composed of their greatest elites. There were only ten thousand of them, and they were all Godhood cultivators. Now that they had lost a tenth all of a sudden, Nubis felt pained.

“Obviously, we have to get them to pay this debt with blood. Even if they are the Four Symbols Alliance, I’ll make them regret this.” Jian Chen sat on the patriarch’s throne as he stared right at the Four Symbols Alliance frigidly.

His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through space and see where the Four Symbols Alliance stood.

However, when the upper echelon of the Tian Yuan clan heard him mention the Four Symbols Alliance, all of their expressions changed. Even the expressions of a few people who had spoken out righteously about revenge became warped.

“It’s actually the Four Symbols Alliance.” Nubis grinded his teeth. His face was utterly sunken. “The Four Symbols Alliance is far too shameless. When Ming Dong was here, they were as obedient as a dog, following along with everything. They would do whatever we told them to, even saying that they were eternal friends of our Tian Yuan clan. And now, as soon as Ming Dong left, they’ve directly turned against us, attacking our Pingtian Empire.”

“Patriarch, what should we do now?” Xi Yu asked. Their opponent was the Four Symbols Alliance, one of the rulers of the Cloud Plane. Xi Yu had no idea what to do.

She understood the power of the Tian Yuan clan extremely well. Without Ming Dong, it was impossible for them to repel the Four Symbols Alliance.

“Do exactly what I just said. We’ll settle this debt with blood. Senior Xu!” Jian Chen said coldly before calling for Xu Ran. His voice directly passed through the various formations, ringing out where Xu Ran cultivated.

In the next moment, Xu Ran appeared within the discussion hall.

She said nothing. With her cultivation as a Chaotic Prime, there was not a lot that could be hidden from her. She understood the current situation even better than Jian Chen.

As a matter of fact, she knew that the three fortresses had been instantaneously destroyed by three Chaotic Primes.

The fortresses of the Pingtian Empire were extremely tough, reinforced by various powerful formations. It was impossible for Godkings to get through them, and they could last a few days against even Infinite Primes. Only Chaotic Primes could destroy them immediately.

“Senior Xu, please come with me to go kill,” Jian Chen said to Xu Ran.

Xu Ran nodded. “There are a total of five Chaotic Primes. Three of them are at the Fifth Heavenly Layer and two are at the Fourth. There’s also another sixteen Infinite Primes. Currently, three Chaotic Primes are at the eastern fortress, one’s at the southern, and one’s at the western. They’ve split up their armies and Infinite Primes, approaching the imperial capital of the Pingtian Empire from three directions.”

Xu Ran paused when she reached there. She continued, “The Chaotic Prime at the southern fortress is the weakest, at the Fourth Heavenly Layer. Who do you want to kill first?”

“They’ve sent five Chaotic Primes all of a sudden. The Four Symbols Alliance sure takes us seriously.” Jian Chen sneered. He said coldly, “Naturally, we kill the weakest one first. Let’s use one of their Chaotic Primes to remember the brave souls of all our soldiers that have fallen in battle first.”

“Patriarch, this matter is very important. You must not be reckless.” A skinny old man stood up and clasped his fist towards Jian Chen sternly.

He was protector Qi. He possessed the same cultivation as protector Xue. They were both Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Primes. Out of all the protectors of the Tian Yuan clan, only he and protector Xue were late Infinite Primes.

Protector Qi explained in a hurry when he saw Jian Chen look over, “Patriarch, the Four Symbols Alliance is one of the rulers of the Cloud Plane. They’re extremely powerful. Aside from Chaotic Primes, they even have Grand Primes. I think it would be best if we don’t come into conflict with the Four Symbols Alliance. After all, young master Ming isn’t present. Once we aggravate them and they send Grand Primes, the consequences will be even more severe.” Protector Qi’s eyes were clearly filled with some fear. This was fear towards the Four Symbols Alliance.

“Grand Prime...” A gleam of killing intent flashed through Jian Chen’s eyes. He said coldly, “So what if they have Grand Primes? If they really dare to do anything, I’ll make them lose a Grand Prime or two.”

Jian Chen’s words left protector Qi tongue-tied.

Jian Chen and Xu Ran left the discussion hall. However, they did not leave the Tian Yuan clan. Instead, they arrived in a forbidden ground of the Tian Yuan clan.

The forbidden ground was protected by layers of formations, enough to block out senses of the soul.

Senior Xu, please have a look at where the Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime is near the southern fortress.” Jian Chen took out a detailed map of the Pingtian Empire and spread it out before Xu Ran.

Although he could envelope the entire empire with the senses of his soul, and he found many Chaotic Primes, accurately locating them still required Xu Ran’s help.

Xu Ran immediately pointed at the map, marking out where the Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime was.

Jian Chen remembered the location before stowing the map away. He said sternly, “Senior Xu, I’ll use the Laws of Space to teleport there directly. Once we’re there, we’ll immediately unleash our full strength to kill one of them as quickly as possible. We have to make them pay for their actions.”

“We only have fifteen seconds. After those fifteen seconds, the four other Chaotic Primes will arrive. Although I can keep the five of them suppressed, it’s very difficult for me to kill them. If it gets drawn out for too long, the Four Symbols Alliance can send reinforcements at any time. As a result, we need to kill the person within fifteen seconds. However, without the Nine Tribulations Incineration Formation, it’s almost impossible for me to kill a Fourth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime in such a short amount of time. I’ll need you to use the secret technique you used last time,” said Xu Ran.

“No problem,” Jian Chan agreed. As long as he could kill a Chaotic Prime, did using a strand of Profound Sword Qi matter?
