Chapter 1902 - 1988: The Black-Clad Envoy
The strength of the two great experts was evenly matched. Once they started fighting, the entire void trembled nonstop. Their power was enough to instantly shatter even the nearby stars—utterly terrifying.
Chen Nan took Ou Yifei and the three Supremes of Blood Martial Hall and retreated to a safe distance. Once these two great experts went at it, it was unlikely to end anytime soon.
Blood Martial Hall Hall Master Shangguan Xue attacked viciously, completely fighting like he didn’t want his life. However, Jin Haoyue’s strength was on par with his, and this old bastard’s fighting style was extremely sly.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The two of them fought farther and farther away, and Chen Nan’s group chased after them.
Watching the trajectory of the battle between the two Supremes, a look of doubt suddenly flashed in Chen Nan’s eyes. He observed carefully again and finally noticed the problem.
When Xuantian Sect Leader Jin Haoyue and Blood Martial Hall Hall Master Shangguan Xue were fighting, he was deliberately moving in the direction of the Heavenly People Clan’s territory.
When Chen Nan came, he had seen that in that Star Domain there were countless Heavenly People palaces entrenched there. According to what Xue Zhan had said, that should be the Heavenly People Clan’s Sect Forces.
As for the Heavenly People Clan’s Royal power, it should be hidden in another Star Domain.
"Looks like the Heavenly People Clan’s Royal power isn’t simple. Under a single Talisman Emperor there are three hundred Half-step Supreme Realm Hu Ben Soldiers. According to the information Ou Yifei obtained from the Power of World Origin of the Heavenly People Clan’s Supreme World, once the Hu Ben Soldiers put on the Hu Ben Battle Armor, each one has combat strength close to the Supreme Realm. Three hundred Supremes—what kind of power is that?"
Chen Nan couldn’t help but sigh.
"Damn it, my thoughts ran off before I knew it."
Chen Nan slapped his own head and released a strand of Divine Thought. "Senior Shangguan, be careful. Jin Haoyue is deliberately luring you toward the area near the Sect Forces. Who knows what scheme he has."
"What?"
Shangguan Xue’s eyes bulged as he looked into the distance. "Damn it, the Star Moon Alliance’s law enforcers are here. That bitch Jin Haoyue actually notified them."
"This is bad, this is bad. Xue Zhan, you all run, quick. I’ll hold them off first. After I settle this matter, you can go back to Blood Martial Hall."
Seeing the Star Moon Alliance’s law enforcers, Shangguan Xue hurriedly urged Xue Zhan, Chen Nan, and the others to leave.
The Star Moon Alliance was founded back when the Star Moon Slope Covenant was made. Centered on the two great sacred places, Star Soul Holy Land and Yuehua Sacred Land—the strongest Sect Forces of the Heavenly People Clan—with other powers as auxiliaries, the alliance was formed.
Within the Star Moon Slope Covenant it was strictly stipulated that Sect Disciples within the alliance could not take the initiative to kill Disciples of other Sects. Otherwise, if they violated the covenant, they would be killed without mercy.
"Senior Shangguan, the Star Moon Alliance’s law enforcers—since they’re law enforcers, they have to talk about ’law.’ Did you forget? This time, we weren’t the ones who struck first!"
Chen Nan understood that Shangguan Xue, like Xue Zhan and the others, was so worried he’d gotten flustered and forgotten the most important point.
"That scheming bitch Jin Haoyue definitely wants to play the villain who complains first," Chen Nan said to himself.
Shangguan Xue slapped his forehead. "Damn it, how did I forget this shit? Xuantian Sect’s people struck first and ambushed our injured Blood Martial Hall Disciples. They were the ones who struck first—even if we kill them, they die for nothing."
Holy light burst from the Supreme Sacred Weapon in Jin Haoyue’s hand, blocking Shangguan Xue’s heavy blow. The next instant, he vanished into the void. When he appeared again, he was already standing before the two law enforcers of the Star Moon Alliance.
The Realms of these two law enforcers were on par with Shangguan Xue and Jin Haoyue, but they radiated an aura of authority.
"Jin Haoyue of Xuantian Sect greets the law enforcers."
Standing before the two law enforcers, Jin Haoyue behaved very politely, nodding slightly.
"Jin Haoyue, we heard your sound transmission saying Blood Martial Hall’s Disciples violated the covenant and slaughtered your Xuantian Sect Disciples. Is this true?" one of the white-robed enforcers asked.
"Honorable enforcers, please see clearly. Blood Martial Hall’s Disciples killed the Four Supreme Beings of my Xuantian Sect—truly hateful. That old thief Shangguan Xue just now even tried to kill me." Jin Haoyue pointed at Shangguan Xue, who was flying toward them brandishing his Supreme Sacred Weapon.
"Boom!"
The black-robed enforcer sent forth a Divine Skill, blasting it into Shangguan Xue’s body.
"Shangguan Xue, what exactly is going on? Come down here and make it clear. If you keep fighting, we’ll have to make a move," a cold light shot from the black-robed enforcer’s eyes.
"Shangguan Xue, Jin Haoyue, when the Star Moon Alliance was founded back then, it was to protect our Sect Forces and resist the Royal Family’s encroachment. You two brawling like this—there has to be an explanation."
The white-robed enforcer looked at Xue Zhan, Chen Nan, and the others, a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Chen Nan, however, could see that the strength of this black- and white-robed pair of law enforcers was likely above that of Shangguan Xue and Jin Haoyue.
"Damn it, law enforcers, our four Supremes from Blood Martial Hall went to hunt a Void Ancient Dragon and were besieged by Void Ancient Dragons. We barely escaped with our lives, only to be ambushed by Xuantian Sect Disciples. In the fierce battle, Fat and Skinny Supremes self-detonated. In the end, their Xuantian Sect also lost two Supremes." Shangguan Xue stated the matter truthfully.
"Oh? Then how did the other two Supremes die?" The white-robed enforcer looked at Shangguan Xue, puzzled.
Chen Ye stepped forward. "Jin Haoyue appeared and wanted to kill us all. This junior had no choice but to use two captives as leverage. Who knew this old bastard Jin Haoyue still attacked me. With no other choice, this junior could only launch a Divine Soul Attack from the dark."
The two law enforcers swept a glance over Chen Nan. There wasn’t the slightest ripple in their gaze. "If that’s the case, then there’s still one Supreme of Xuantian Sect. Where is he?"
"After I ambushed Jin Muchen, he escaped. I don’t know where he went!" Chen Nan said righteously. He wasn’t worried about Jin Muchen in the Haotian Tower being discovered.
The strength of the Haotian Tower could already rival the Supreme Realm long ago, and it had improved further upon reaching the Outer Domain Battlefield.
Jin Haoyue flew into a rage. "This brat is talking utter nonsense. If he hadn’t taken the initiative to launch a sneak attack, my two Disciples—both in the Supreme Realm—how could he possibly be their match? How could they have died at his hands?"
"Bullshit your damn mother. If I didn’t have that kind of strength, could your other two Disciples have been captured alive by me?" Chen Nan cursed loudly, not caring in the slightest how strong the other side was.
"What this kid said makes sense too. Sect Master Jin, what do you have to say?" A faint smile appeared on the icy face of the black-robed enforcer.
Jin Haoyue was shaking all over with anger. He had originally thought the people of Blood Martial Hall sucked at trash talking. He wanted to provoke them into a rage, then join forces with the two enforcers to take action and completely suppress them.
"I... If my Xuantian Sect’s Five Supreme Beings really launched a sneak attack on their four injured Supremes, how could we have ended up with four dead and one missing?"
A cold glint flashed in Jin Haoyue’s eyes. "This time, my Xuantian Sect lost four Supremes, while Blood Martial Hall only lost two. In this matter, the Star Moon Alliance has to stand up for us."
"Nanchen, if you don’t have proof that Xuantian Sect’s Disciples took the initiative to attack your Blood Martial Hall Disciples, then the two Supremes of Xuantian Sect you killed afterward—according to the Star Moon Alliance’s covenant—you’ll have to come with us."
The black-robed enforcer looked at Chen Nan, a strange light flickering in his eyes.
"Who said I don’t have any? I just wanted to see how long this old bastard could keep acting." Chen Nan chuckled, and a Crystal Stone appeared in his hand. With a slight movement of his finger, the Crystal Stone hung suspended in the void.
The next moment, scenes began to appear on the Crystal Stone.
The images were precisely of Xuantian Sect’s Five Supreme Beings besieging Blood Martial Hall’s Xue Sha and the others.
"Old Jin bastard, you didn’t expect this, did you? Your granddaddy here had a backup prepared long ago."
Chen Nan looked at Jin Haoyue’s expression as if he were about to vomit blood, and at Jin Muchen, who was frantically ramming around inside the Haotian Tower, and smiled faintly.
