After hearing the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's words, ancestor Zong became even more careful. The sense of contempt in his voice towards cultivators at the same level left him even more frightened too. He understood he was caught in the middle of a mess. Even with his cultivation as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, he was like a rowboat in the ocean, unable to stir up any waves.

All he could do was follow behind an expert and do as they ordered!

Ancestor Zong bowed towards the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King again and backed away respectfully.

The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King hovered silently in the air. His green clothes drifted in the wind as he stared into the horizon as if he was studying the world. He sighed gently and said, "The Xiong family and the Zhan family seem to have encountered some problems. The two of them actually failed to take down a measly Xia Merchant Union even when working together, and one of them even perished. Sigh, looks like I'll have some more things to do in this Peace region."

As he said that, the senses of the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King's soul spread out and immediately rushed out of White Emperor city, directly locking onto Bai Yurou outside.

Shortly afterwards, he used a special secret technique to leave a soul imprint on her without raising her attention.

......

With everything that had occurred, White Emperor city completely sank into chaos. Meanwhile, the White Emperor clan that was in charge of the entire city instead encountered internal strife that had devolved into full-blown fighting. The people of the White Emperor's faction were locked in an intense battle against the people of ancestor Zong and ancestor Yan's factions, but with the presence of a Fifth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, ancestor Zong, all of the chaos and instability was forcefully suppressed soon.

Outside White Emperor city, in the pitch-black wilderness, Bai Yurou erased her presence and hid between the leaves of a large, lush tree with a pale face.

She was originally fleeing for her life, but she stopped and hid herself when she sensed the power of a heavenly king erupt in White Emperor city, gazing in the direction of the imperial city eagerly.

"Is it the Mayhemless Heavenly King? Has the Mayhemless Heavenly King learnt about the ancestor's death, which is why he's come in person to avenge him?" Bai Yurou thought.

She could not help but recall how a supreme expert had assisted her twice back then in Death Valley, which left her eager.

At this moment, several sounds of flight appeared in the distance. The six surviving Godkings, including Chu Tianxing, passed by her. Sensing that they were on her side, Bai Yurou immediately appeared.

"Young miss!" The Godkings all cried out and changed direction, gathering around her.

"What exactly happened in the imperial city? Was the terrifying power from before from the Mayhemless Heavenly King?" Bai Yurou gazed at them and asked in a hurry. At this moment, she seemed to see a beacon of light guiding her way through the darkness. She saw hope again.

The Godkings all turned towards Chu Tianxing in response to that.

"Elder Chu, shouldn't you explain it to all of us?" asked elder Qing. Even though she was heavily injured and haggard, her eyes shone brightly, staring straight at him.

Bai Yurou also noticed something from their response. She immediately turned towards Chu Tianxing. "Elder Chu, what exactly happened?"

Chu Tianxing's expression was mixed. He said with a sigh, "Earlier, when I killed the ancient forest beast, I saved a person from its belly. Afterwards, when we separated, he gave me a small sword to thank me for saving him. I noticed that the small sword was rather special and contained a sliver of the Laws of the Sword, so I accepted it. I did study it afterwards, but I didn't find anything special."

"Elder Chu, are you saying the power of a heavenly king that just erupted originated from the small sword?" questioned elder Qing in disbelief.

Chu Tianxing nodded and sighed. "It's very difficult to believe, but that is indeed what happened. The power that appeared in the imperial city and instantly heavily injured ancestor Zong originated from the small sword."

Everyone was surprised by that, including Bai Yurou.

"Chu Tianxing, where did he obtain the small sword from? Since he was in possession of something so powerful, why did he almost die to the ancient forest beast?" a Godking elder asked.

"According to him, he found the small sword in Death Valley. As for why he almost died to the ancient forest beast, there's actually a very good explanation for that. The ancient forest beast is far too weak, nowhere near strong enough to trigger the small sword," said Chu Tianxing.

"He found it? He actually just found a supreme treasure that contained the strike of a heavenly king?" They glanced at one another in suspicion.

Chu Tianxing said nothing. Actually, after finding out about the power of the small sword, even he himself refused to believe that person had simply found it on the ground.

However, he really was unable to come up with any better explanation than that.

He did not even have to consider the possibility that the small sword containing the strike of a heavenly king had been created on the spot by someone.

That was because they needed to be an expert on par with a heavenly king at the very least to create such a terrifying treasure, but why would an expert like that struggle against a measly ancient forest beast?

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Now is not the time for this," Bai Yurou said and interrupted everyone's thoughts. She glanced in the direction of White Emperor city with a mixed gaze and said sorrowfully, "They've probably mistaken the heavenly king's power to be a strike from the Mayhemless Heavenly King. They probably won't have the courage to come after us."

"We can't go to White Emperor city. The place closest to here is Sword Emperor city. The Sword Emperor just happens to have some ties with our ancestor. Ancestor Zong is very powerful, but he's still nowhere close to being the Sword Emperor's opponent, let alone now, when he's heavily injured. C'mon, let's go to Sword Emperor city."

With a wave of her hand, a flying ship immediately appeared. She directly boarded it with the six surviving Godkings. a.4887

There were many elite clansmen on the flying ship. They were all descendants and disciples that had ventured to Death Valley to collect materials for refining pills. Because they had learnt about the incident in White Emperor city beforehand, they did not return to the imperial city with them. They remained on the ship the entire time, which Bai Yurou carried on her.

Bai Yurou controlled the ship personally and directly flew off in the direction of Sword Emperor city.

Within the large courtyard in Sword Emperor city, Jian Chen slowly put down the book in his hand and thought, "The heavenly resources in the Wood Spirits World are very different from the Saints' World. There are many heavenly resources that do not grow in the Saints' World. There are many heavenly resources that the Saints' World possesses but are missing from here too. This part is quite similar to the Darkstar World."

"But according to the records, I've still chosen around twenty heavenly resources. These heavenly resources should be effective on my physical wounds. As for the heavenly resources that can heal the soul, there are only a measly eight."

Jian Chen sighed gently. "However, these high grade heavenly resources are extremely difficult to obtain. It is easier to get lower quality ones. So be it. I'll have Xia Jianming deliver some over for me to try."

Thinking up to there, Jian Chen's soul spread out and immediately left Sword Emperor city, covering over twenty million kilometres and descending on the third imperial city in the Peace region—Tyrant Emperor city!

In Tyrant Emperor city, Xia Jianming had gathered the high-ranking members of the Xia Merchant Union for a secret meeting. They were all very stern.

"Union leader Xia, only thirty percent of our business in Tyrant Emperor city remains. The seventy percent we've lost has mostly been claimed forcefully by the Tyrant Emperor clan. The Xiong family and the Zhan family have also occupied a part of it. Union leader Xia, what do you think we should do now?"

"They've gone too far. The Tyrant Emperor clan has openly broken the rules set down between the nine imperial cities in the Peace region. Aren't they afraid of being oppressed by the eight other imperial cities for touching our Xia Merchant Union?"
