Chapter 2716: Handling the Situation with Composure

“He’s actually a mid Godking and he even managed to kill an early Godking Life-devouring Beast. He’s not weak.” On the city walls, the Godking in the centre of the three people said.

“The Life-devouring Beasts in the Two World Mountains were created from the residual power from the great sovereign of the Wood Spirits from countless years ago. These beasts are extremely difficult to deal with. They can automatically devour the life force of all cultivators weaker than them within a certain radius. Even those with similar cultivations to the Life-devouring Beasts will be affected to some degree. At the same time, the Life-devouring Beasts possess terrifying life force. Their wounds heal at an unbelievable rate, which is why basically all outside cultivators flee when they come across one at the same level of cultivation. Even if their cultivation is slightly higher than the Life-devouring Beasts, it’s still extremely difficult for them to kill the beast. Since this person can kill an early Godking Life-devouring Beast, his battle prowess should be very great. He may not be invincible among his level of cultivation, but it’ll definitely be difficult for him to meet his match,” the Darkstar race Godking to the left said as he stared at Jian Chen. He did not show any particular emotion. There was no fear at all.

“The three of us are all early Godkings. It seems like if the person below makes trouble, we won’t be his opponent even if we work together,” the third Godking had spoken as well. He did say that the three of them could not defeat Jian Chen even if they worked together, but he was sneering when he said that. He did not take Jian Chen seriously either.

“So what if we can’t beat him? This is our city. There’s plenty of Godkings in the city. As long as the battle happens here, a large number of Godkings will immediately rush over from within the city. When that happens, even peak Godkings will be doomed, let alone a mid Godking,” said the Godking in the centre.

“Yeah. Let’s just see whether this person does anything. Though, I do hope he does, because we’ll then be able to work with the Godkings in the city to kill him. To think that a mid Godking’s actually appeared among these foreigners, it’s about time for us to tidy them up. Otherwise, if they break through to Infinite Prime in our world, they’ll be difficult to handle…”

The three of them had not been communicating with each other secretly. They were not speaking loudly, but everyone gathered there were Godhood cultivators. Let alone a measly range of several hundred meters, everyone thousands or even tens of thousand meters away could hear them clearly.

As a result, no one missed a single word the three Godkings had uttered, which immediately changed the expressions of the outsiders.

“Sir, calm down. You must calm down. Just give them the remains of the Life-devouring Beasts. Please don’t say anything else…”

“Senior, you may be powerful, but this still is the territory of the Darkstar race. Even the powerful cannot neglect the local forces. You can’t afford to fight with them over just these worldly possessions. It’s not worth it…”

“Sir, this isn’t the Hundred Saint City. We have to show respect to every single member of the Darkstar race we meet outside of the Hundred Saint City. You can’t afford to clash with them…”

…

Numerous voices rang out in Jian Chen’s head once again. Many of the nearby outsiders did their best to persuade him. All of them were extremely fearful of the Darkstar race, unwilling to offend them even in the slightest.

Jian Chen struggled to imagine that these people came from large sects and clans of the Saints’ World from how fearfully they seemed in general, let alone being afraid of offending anyone.

True independent cultivators amounted to only a small fraction among all the cultivators in the World of the Fallen Beast. Most of them were people with a certain background.

However, their background could not rival Jin Hong’s group. After all, Jin Hong’s group was completely composed of people from organisations with Grand Primes. Some of them even had multiple Grand Primes.

The organisations these people were from probably only had Chaotic Primes or Infinite Primes.

Jian Chen obviously would not just swallow his pride there. His current identity was fake and his strength did not particularly stand out either. With a false identity like this, he was not afraid of anything. He was truly fearless.

He suddenly looked at the top of the city walls, at the three Godkings there, “Seems like you’re slavering over my belongings. What you said earlier should be directed to me, right?”

“You’re implying that I should give up on taking back my items, because once anything else happens, other Godkings in the city will come to reinforce you if you three aren’t my opponent. However, more Godkings means more people to share among. Even if the remains end up with you, you’ll only receive a small part of it.”

“If you could obtain the remains without drawing any blood and drawing in other people, you will receive a greater share. Am I correct?” Jian Chen had an idea in mind when he said that. He was an Infinite Prime after all. His senses were extremely powerful, so he could clearly sense that while the three Godkings behaved calmly on the surface when they heard about the remains of a Godking Life-devouring Beast, they were actually very excited inside.

Immediately, the surroundings fell silent. Only the dense pressure from the three Godkings permeated the air, making the atmosphere abnormally heavy.

The people who moved through the city gates, whether they were outsiders or members of the Darkstar race, all halted in that moment. They remained a safe distance away and watched on.

The three Godkings on the city walls did not reply immediately. They all stared at Jian Chen coldly. Their gazes were even more terrifying than before and within it was faint killing intent.

That was indeed what they had been thinking, because Godking Life-devouring Beasts was far more tempting than Jian Chen had imagined them to be. Now that Jian Chen had spoken their minds, they were extremely displeased.

“I’ll give you two choices. The first choice is taking back your Space Ring and then dying here today. The second choice is leaving behind the Space Ring and entering the city with the tail in your hand, and nothing will happen today. You’ll be left in one piece,” one of the Godkings said coldly a while later.

“Hahaha, I, Gu Qi, am still a mid Godking at the end of the day. How can I just be threatened by you? This Space Ring belonged to me in the first place and the Life-devouring Beasts were slain by me after tremendous effort. Of course I’m taking it back.”

“I’ll give you two choices right now as well. The first choice is that you can take the Space Ring from me and at least one of you will die today. Of course. If you are too weak, all of you might end up dead before reinforcements arrive from the city.”

“The second choice would be to turn a blind eye to everything that happened today and we can continue about what we were doing before. We’ll stay out of matters than don’t concern us,” Jian Chen said with composure. Before he had finished speaking, he waved his hand and the Space Ring returned to him before Miao Wei could even react.
