Sovereign of the Three Realms - Chapter 1847

Chapter 1847: 1847

Elites of the Dreamhaze Sect had joined the rebels in attacking the Martial Sacred Land, leaving their home base vulnerable .

The Goldbiter Rats were a slippery bunch . They came back with the information Jiang Chen needed not long after .

“Young master Chen, the head of the Dreamhaze Sect has a direct grandson . The boy is in the sect, but has two eighth level empyrean personal guards at his side . They seem to be the sect head’s deathsworn, and have been tasked to keep his grandson safe . ”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and asked, “Do you have an exact location?”

“Yes,” the rat king responded with confidence . “I’ve planted a few rats around the area . As soon as you draw close, you’ll notice . ”

Jiang Chen turned to Prime Puresmoke . “Will you join us, Prime Puresmoke, or leave it to us?”

The rebellion was Martial’s own responsibility . It’d be unbecoming of her to let outsiders do their job . She responded without hesitation, “Take me there . This seat will take the matter in my own hands . ”

Two eighth level empyrean guards were nothing in Prime Puresmoke’s eyes . She had a myriad of ways to take them out . After all, she was a prominent figure in the sacred land and was close to being a demigod .

“Let’s go . ” Jiang Chen entered the sect’s territory in a flash . Although it was guarded with restrictions and defensive formations, they were nothing when it came to formation masters like Prime Puresmoke and Jiang Chen .

They easily snuck through the restrictions at the mouth of the mountain .

They were powerful enough to break in without much difficulty, but they opted for stealth just to be on the safe side . If the sect head’s grandson got wind of their arrival and escaped, that would be far from ideal . Neither Jiang Chen nor the prime wanted to alert their enemies .

The Dreamhaze Sect turned out to be deserving of their reputation as a first tier faction . Its grounds were a world of its own, evident of a solid foundation .

However, with most of their elites deployed, the place was vulnerable . Although their defenses were strong, the lack of manpower would be a problem .

It didn’t take long for Jiang Chen and the prime to locate the sect head’s grandson . They locked onto him with both their consciousness .

The sect head was a demigod and ruled over the sect for more than seven thousand years . This grandson was the one he favored the most out of all his descendants . The boy was the handpicked heir and being groomed to take over the sect .

As one of the four demigods among the rebels, sect head Meng Qianqiu wielded strong influence . If something happened to him, more troubles would beset the rebels .

Inside a secret realm, a boy with a complexion as clear as jade was practicing martial techniques in a monotonous manner on a training field . There were defense posts scattered throughout the field, and two eighth level empyrean guards stayed close to the boy .

This was Meng Qianqiu’s grandson, Meng Tianxing .

After completing a set of sword techniques, Meng Tianxing angrily propelled his long sword through a wall and into the lake outside .

He huffed and dropped onto a stool, fuming . It was clear he wasn’t in the mood for practicing .

The two personal guards exchanged a look . They could tell their young master was upset, but they didn’t know how to cheer him up .

“Young master . . . ”

Meng Tianxing’s fair face reddened in anger . “Don’t call me that . I’m not your master . ”

“Young master, the sect head has assigned us to serve you . That makes us your servants . If you’re angry, please take it out on us!”

Meng Tianxing scoffed . “What good is that going to do? If you truly consider me your master, take me to the Martial Sacred Land . I want to join the war and earn my glory!”

The two guards didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . They knew the source of the boy’s anger, but the sect head had ordered them not to let the boy leave . If anything happened to him, they would be held accountable .

Thus, they couldn’t give Meng Tianxing what he wanted . Anyone would follow the sect head’s order in this case . They could only try to pacify the boy’s anger .

“What? You were assigned to protect me, but you don’t even have the courage to fight? Don’t you want to follow me to earn glory?”

“That’s not our job, young master . Our duty is to protect you . If anything happens to you, the sect head will skin us alive and pull out our tendons . ”

“Cowards!” Meng Tianxing yelled angrily . “If you’re not willing, I’ll go myself one day when you’re not looking!”

“You mustn’t, young master,” one of the guards tried . “There will be a time when you can prove yourself . You’re still learning and should use this time to improve . You’ll get a chance to kill enemies in the future . ”

“Hmph, in the future? That’s going to be years later . I hear that Miss Yu Ling, one of the sixteen golden hairpins, is in the sacred land . Many young men in the nation pant after her like dogs . If I miss this opportunity, who knows which of those bastards is going to get the girl?”

So that was what the matter was about .

The two guards shared a look . They finally understood why their young master wanted so much to fight in the sacred land .

“Young master, it’s said that Miss Yu Ling isn’t even in the sacred land,” the other guard spoke up . “You don’t have to worry about her being taken . ”

“Nonsense . She’s the holy girl . Why wouldn’t she be in the sacred land?”

“This subordinate hears that she and her master Prime Puresmoke are at the sacred land’s spirit herb base rather than its headquarters . ”

“Oh? The spirit herb base?” Meng Tianxing’s eyes darted around as he plotted . His eyes lit up suddenly . “Then let’s go to the base!”

“We can’t . ”

Meng Tianxing snickered . “You’re such cowards when it comes to my grandfather . Relax, I’ll take responsibility if anything happens . Happy?”

The two guards didn’t waver . If something did go wrong, not even the young master would be able to save them from the sect head’s ire . Besides, if something happened to the young master, how would he going to shoulder the blame?

“Please give up those thoughts, young master . If the girl is captured, we’ll do everything we can to deliver her to you . ”

“No, it’ll be too late when you hear the news . Countless young men from the numerous factions are all trying to get her . ”

“Elder Liang, I hear that years have been kind to Prime Puresmoke and that she’s still one of the most beautiful and graceful women in the nation . Don’t you want a piece of her as well?”

One of the guards, Elder Liang, smiled wryly . “Young master, Puresmoke is beautiful, but she’s not someone people like us should covet . ”

“How do you know without trying? Don’t you want to pin her down and have your way with her?” Meng Tianxing was young, but he was born a lecherous man .

Elder Liang cackled, the look in his gaze obscene .

“This subordinate wouldn’t dare . ” Elder Liang smirked . “But you, young master, you’ll have a good time sleeping with both of them . It would be gracious you to let me have a taste afterwards . ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere around them changed . It felt like an invisible mountain was bearing down on them with great power .

Elder Liang’s eyes widened with fear when he turned to the side . A tremor ran through his body .  

The other guard was staring at them with wide eyes, blood streaming out of his eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth . He’d been killed without any of them noticing!

Bam!

The guard keeled over like a wall, kicking up dust into the air .

“This is bad! Run, young master!” Elder Liang rushed to Meng Tianxing after he recovered from his shock, intending to escort him out . However, before he could reach the boy, Meng Tianxing vanished .

When the elder saw the boy again, he was held up high in the sky by numerous vines . The vines writhed in the air, wrapping around the boy tightly like he was a rice dumpling .

Scared witless, Meng Tianxing howled, “Elder Liang, help! Help me!”

He was a genius, but he was young . His cultivation was about the level of Eternal’s Five Great Gentlemen, and the lower tier ones at that . He was no match for Jiang Chen or Xiahou Zong . He might not even be able to defeat Holy Girl Yu Ling .

The sudden turn of events completely panicked the boy .

It was Elder Liang’s duty to protect his young master . He flashed into the sky to cut the vines, but he was stopped by the appearance of a beautiful woman .

It was Prime Puresmoke, and her icy gaze was fixed on the elder .

“You . . . ” Elder Liang stared at her in shock like he’d seen a ghost . Why would the prime appear in the Dreamhaze Sect?

He thought back to the obscene remarks he’d made . Bedding both the prime and her disciple? He should really kill himself right now!

“Hm? Don’t you recognize this seat?” Prime Puresmoke asked frigidly .
