Chapter 1192: 835 Kunpeng, I killed your people for your own good, you should thank me

With the Duotian Shenfan in hand, Jiang Chen’s confidence surged, firmly believing that he didn’t need any help, and that he alone was enough to deal with Kunpeng Ancestor.

Of course, if Kunpeng Ancestor really made a move against Jiang Chen, then Jiang Chen wouldn’t actually foolishly engage him in single combat. Instead, he would wave his hand grandly and call upon all the high-level experts of the Human Race to join forces and besiege Kunpeng Ancestor.

Against such a relentless enemy, if there was a chance to slay him, who would play by the rules? They would naturally resort to any and all means necessary, employing whatever methods they had at their disposal.

Under Jiang Chen’s expectant gaze, Kunpeng Ancestor finally took action. He saw the Ancestor’s figure grow increasingly large, with countless runes flowing from his body, weaving into a radiant divine light that swept forward.

With a thunderous boom!

The dazzling starry sky in the distance was extinguished by the divine light, completely dimming. Yet, facing Kunpeng Ancestor, Jiang Chen remained unharmed.

"Ah!" Witnessing this, Jiang Chen sighed somewhat disappointedly.

Kunpeng Ancestor had made a move, but not against him. Instead, he shattered a star domain, an act more akin to venting frustration, much like when mortals break objects in anger.

After all, being a Great Divine Transcendent, his realm was profound, and his reason wouldn’t be swayed by emotions. Despite the raging fury in his heart, under absolute reason, Kunpeng Ancestor still made the choice that was most advantageous to himself.

He couldn’t attack Jiang Chen!

Or rather, before finding an appropriate reason, he couldn’t attack Jiang Chen. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be him who would die, but the very Jiang Chen he wanted to kill.

The era had changed, and the Human Race was no longer the same race from the Ancient Era they could manipulate at will. Their roles had reversed, and now it was he who was at others’ mercy.

Countless years had passed since ancient times to the present, and Kunpeng Ancestor had long adapted to the changes brought about by the shift in status.

It could be said that enduring a little grievance himself was nothing. In these years, had he not suffered enough at the hands of the Human Race? He had grown accustomed to it.

If it weren’t for Jiang Chen’s excessive behavior this time, directly confronting him and hitting him in the face, Kunpeng Ancestor wouldn’t have been angry, let alone had such a big reaction.

Actually, even this time, it wasn’t necessarily true that Kunpeng Ancestor’s heart was filled with rage. The main reason he showed such anger was for his subordinates to see. After all, who would want to follow a leader who couldn’t even protect his own?

"Jiang Chen, without a cause, why did you attack my North Sea citizens? Are you trying to provoke a conflict between the Human Race and the North Sea?"

After venting, Kunpeng Ancestor "recovered" his composure and asked Jiang Chen with an icy tone.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t attack Jiang Chen, but he needed a suitable reason. Attacking the Human King without cause would mean that the Human Race could kill Kunpeng Ancestor, and the Mystic Sect couldn’t justly prevent it.

But if there was a reason, like Jiang Chen striking at Kunpeng Ancestor first, forcing him to counterattack.

In that case, even if Kunpeng Ancestor truly killed Jiang Chen, nothing would come of it. Even if the Human Race sought revenge, the Great Divine Transcendents of the Mystic Sect would have enough reason to intervene.

And what Kunpeng Ancestor was now doing, was looking for a reason to strike at Jiang Chen.

Once he determined that it was Jiang Chen who had attacked the North Sea citizens without cause, then Kunpeng Ancestor’s subsequent retaliation would be seen as just and reasonable.

"North Sea citizens?" Jiang Chen began with a questioning tone, then continued coldly, "What North Sea citizens? I see nothing but remnants of the Demon Clan."

The thoughts of Kunpeng Ancestor could hardly be concealed from Jiang Chen. Since he dared to launch an attack, he naturally had prepared countermeasures for the aftermath.

Killing innocent North Sea citizens would be problematic, but if he killed remnants of the Demon Clan, then there would be no issue.

"What remnants of the Demon Clan..."

Kunpeng Ancestor instinctively wanted to deny it, but before he could finish, Jiang Chen interrupted sharply:

"Kunpeng, don’t deny it. If I say I killed remnants of the Demon Clan, then they are remnants of the Demon Clan. If you dare to argue, I will immediately lead my troops into the Northern Netherworld Sorcerer Palace to see whether those dead demons are indeed remnants of the Demon Clan."

Jiang Chen spoke with such firmness that it gave Kunpeng Ancestor the impression that he would do exactly as he said, and if the denial continued, he truly would dare to lead his troops into the Northern Netherworld Sorcerer Palace.

Even without any issue, Kunpeng Ancestor wouldn’t allow Jiang Chen into the Sorcerer Palace, let alone with the grave problem he himself faced.

Kunpeng Ancestor immediately became afraid to speak, genuinely fearful that Jiang Chen would forcefully enter the Sorcerer Palace. After all, the remnants of the demon clan were currently hiding there, and if this matter became exposed, it would spell the end for Northern Netherworld.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but sneer.

Kunpeng Ancestor’s reaction was exactly as he had expected. Because, to this day, the fact that Kunpeng Ancestor was the real backing for the remnants of the Demon Clan, though not widespread among the common ranks, was no secret among the Great Divine Transcendents; it was practically public knowledge.

Already feeling guilty, how could he dare to continue to be tough?

"Kunpeng, my friend, I believe that for this matter, you should thank me, not blame me."

"You should understand that compared to the Human Race, your enmity with the Ancient Demon Clan is far greater; if the Ancient Demon Clan were to revive, it’s likely that the first one they would strike at is you."

"With these remnants of the Demon Clan lurking in Northern Netherworld, their purpose is self-evident: they clearly intend to harm you. Now that I have slain them all, one could say I have saved you a great deal of trouble."
