Chapter 1168: Returning to the Protector Clan (Three)

The shattered space collapsed piece by piece while the affected area expanded . From afar, it looked like a huge black hole, preventing Rui Jin, Hong Lian, and Hei Yu from getting anywhere close . They avoided it from afar .

The path lord of carnal desires vanished behind the collapsed space while their visibility of his was obstructed .

A while later, the space began to recover slowly and finally closed up completely, but the path lord was nowhere to be seen .

“We actually let him escape,” Hong Lian said, exasperated .

“Saint Emperors know quite a few abilities . Facing Saint Emperors with our strength is obviously not a question, but killing them will possess a certain difficulty . Though, the human Saint Emperor has suffered a strike from me . My sword impaled his chest, and he won’t be able to make a full recovery from that injury in a short amount of time . We failed to kill him, but we made him pay a price,” Rui Jin said . His voice was also filled with some regret .

“We better go find Jian Chen now . He’s left with the people of the protector clans . He might be a part of them, but any connections of family or friends will become insignificant . I’m worried he’ll come in danger . He’s our only hope to return to our clansmen, so we can’t let any accidents happen to him . Also, Hei Yu’s situation is getting worse . He needs to be healed with the origin energy of Radiant Saint Force,” Hong Lian sternly explained the situation .

Rui Jin nodded . He immediately left with Hong Lian and Hei Yu, constantly casting secret techniques to search for Jian Chen’s whereabouts .

With their departures, the remaining, scattered group of Saint Kings in the air sighed before leaving as well . Many of them were filled with envy, regret, and an unwillingness to give up .

Many of them had anticipated a day the they would become a Saint Emperor for a very long time . A position they where they would stand at the apex and surpass the protector clans . Now that they had just narrowly missed the Saints’ Fruit, they found it difficult to accept the arousal of hope and then utter despair .

This was because there were not one Saint King who was not interested in the realm of Saint Emperors . Once a Saint King reached Saint Emperor, not only would it gift them with supreme power, their lives would be extended by several thousand years .

The region outside the Death Nest became much quieter . Most of the Saint Kings had already left, and only a small number remained . They were unwilling to leave .

When Jian Chen and the great elders emerged from the Space Gate, they were no longer in the original space . They had entered an independent space that had been split open . It was teeming with the energy of the world and the scenery was charming . It was a beautiful miniature world .

Jian Chen glanced around as a gleam of light flashed through his eyes . He had been here before, so he recognized the place with a single glance . It was the space inhabited by the protector Changyang clan . Changyang Qing Yun had brought them back to the protector clan .

The space was independent of the outside world, and the World Gate would be tightly closed under ordinary circumstances, isolating it completely . People could only leave through a special method . Now that he was here, Jian Chen did not feel safe at all . Instead, he felt a great sense of danger, far greater than when he had been encircled by the Saint Emperor vengeful spirits .

Jian Chen’s heart sank, but he showed none of that on his face . He glanced at the authoritative great elders around him secretly and discovered that they were all feeling joy and excitement from the bottom of their hearts . Jian Chen could even see burning desire and impatience in Changyang Qing Yun’s eyes .

At this moment, Changyang Qing Yun looked toward Jian Chen . Just when he wanted to speak, Jian Chen cut him off, “Great elders, I’m very heavily injured, so I need to find a place to heal immediately . Otherwise, it might leave behind injuries . ” Jian Chen was currently bathed in blood with nothing else to be seen . Vicious gashes littered his body all over . The gashes were bone-deep and ghastly . Without his Chaotic Body’s toughness, someone else in a similar condition as him would probably have collapsed long ago .

“Xiangtian, your wounds are just far too heavy . Come with us to the ancestral hall to heal first . There are medicines there that can help you recover quickly,” Changyang Zu Yunxiao said in concern .

“I thank you for your concern, but I have medicine on me . I can deal with my wounds myself . ” With that, Jian Chen’s face changed and blood spurted from his mouth . He weakly said, “My condition is rapidly worsening . I can’t delay it any longer . I need to find a place immediately so I can go into seclusion and recover . ” With that, Jian Chen flew to a nearby mountain peak in a teetering fashion . He used the Emperor Armament to carve out a cave and disappeared into it .

Changyang Qing Yun stared deeply at Jian Chen’s back as he moved away . A gleam of light flickered through his eyes, and he became uneasy . However, he recovered very quickly and laughed aloud, “I never thought that the Saints’ Fruit would be obtained by our clan . This holds far too much importance for the clan . A Saint Emperor will appear in our Changyang clan soon . ”

“Yeah, once Xiangtian consumes the Saints’ Fruit, he’ll definitely reach Saint Emperor successfully with his talent,” Changyang Zu Yunxiao faintly smiled . An indescribable pride was plastered on his face and he glanced at Changyang Qing Yun, perhaps out of pure coincidence .

With that, Changyang Qing Yun’s face hardened, but it only lasted for a slight moment . He recovered in the blink of an eye and smiled faintly as well, “You’re right . Xiangtian’s talent is unprecedented . He’s achieved such great things in less than a hundred years . I believe Xiangtian will break through to Saint Emperor very quickly and become a supreme expert that can shake the world . Alright, let’s end the conversation here . We’ve all expended a lot of energy on our trip to the Death Nest, so we better go recover quick . We need to maintain our peak conditions to repel any sneak attacks from other experts . After all, the Saints’ Fruit holds far too much temptation . We need to be on guard at all times . ”

The great elders all left together and headed to the central divine hall .

Jian Chen stood within the cave with a rather dark expression . Through his presence, he had caught every single detail of the great elders’ conversation and their changes in expression . He knew exactly how they had reacted .

“This place is indeed not safe . Changyang Qing Yun’s greed for the Saints’ Fruit is far too strong . The other great elders may not have shown it before, but who knows what they’re thinking,” Jian Chen thought . He had suddenly found that all the people of the Changyang clan were no longer reliable at that moment, including Changyang Zu Xiao and Changyang Zu Yunxiao .

This was because the Saints’ Fruit was just far too enticing . As the only shortcut to Saint Emperor, any connections, like kinship or friendship, were as fragile as rice paper .
