Chapter 937: 699 blackmails Kunpeng, Beidou Nine Stars Banner_5

"What hitting you, has the Human King perhaps misunderstood something?"

"Since the Great Ancient times, I have been in seclusion in the Northern Netherworld, never leaving this place for a single step, wholeheartedly cultivating the Great Dao. How could I possibly have come into conflict with the Human King?"

Upon hearing this, a shock went through Kunpeng Ancestor’s heart, but he responded without betraying any emotion. If he threw out his punch now, wouldn’t it confirm that the person who had just made a move was indeed him?

If that were the case, then it would be over for him—caught by the Human Race with evidence, today the Northern Netherworld would become his burial ground. The Human Race would surely mobilize all their force to directly slay him.

Ever since he last left the Northern Netherworld and nearly got killed by Empress Nuwa, Kunpeng Ancestor hadn’t set a half-step outside the Northern Netherworld. This was true, and Zhen Yuanzi from the Earth Immortal realm could testify to it.

In order to take revenge, Zhen Yuanzi had been keeping a constant watch over Kunpeng Ancestor. The moment he dared leave the Northern Netherworld, what awaited him was the Earth Book’s full-powered strike. But Kunpeng Ancestor did well to transform into a homebody, staunchly refusing to leave the Northern Netherworld. He had left Zhen Yuanzi disappointed for a long time.

"It wasn’t the Ancestor, then? That is indeed unfortunate," Jiang Chen shook his head, looking rather disappointed. He knew too that such simple tricks would hardly expose Kunpeng Ancestor, yet he couldn’t help but want to tease him a bit.

What if it worked? If not, there was no loss, just consider it as giving Kunpeng Ancestor a scare.

"It definitely wasn’t me. I haven’t concerned myself with worldly affairs for many years and am utterly unaware of what has been happening in the outside world, let alone having any conflict with the Human Race. If there has been any, it must be someone else impersonating me, trying to frame and slander me."

Regretfully... without saying a word, but Kunpeng Ancestor still firmly asserted.

Even knowing that Jiang Chen was teasing him, Kunpeng Ancestor had to firmly deny it because his mouth was truly too capable of talking. The Buddhist door was a lesson from the past; if he let Jiang Chen find an opportunity, who knows where the conversation could end up.

"Enough of that, let’s not dwell on this matter. If I remember correctly, the Ancestor just mentioned that even the Jade Emperor dare not claim that Heaven and Earth are entirely under his control."

"I don’t believe that. The Jade Emperor is the supreme of Heaven and Earth, personally sealed by the Taoist Ancestors, with a Taoist imperial mandate, overseeing all matters both within and beyond Heaven and Earth."

"You say he cannot manage affairs between Heaven and Earth. I cannot accept such words. Are you questioning the Taoist Ancestors or the Jade Emperor himself?"

"Let’s go, while I have some time, we should take a trip to Heaven Court and clarify this matter directly in front of the Jade Emperor, and personally ask him whether he has control or not."

As the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Chen came up with a malicious idea, swiftly imposing a serious accusation on Kunpeng and then stepping forward, he took hold of Kunpeng Ancestor’s arm, ready to head to Heaven Court.

"Let go!"

As soon as he heard this, Kunpeng’s face instantly transformed, as he started to struggle desperately.

It wasn’t that he feared offending the Jade Emperor—he would dare to say the same thing even in the Jade Emperor’s presence because that was the truth. Moreover, his relationship with the Jade Emperor was already not good, so offending him didn’t matter much.

What he feared was leaving the Northern Netherworld, for it was easy to leave this place, but hard to return.

Zhen Yuanzi was just outside waiting for him. If the Human Race decided to kill him, then the other Great Divine Transcendents would surely not sit idly by.

But if Zhen Yuanzi decided to kill him, then the rest of the Great Divine Transcendents might fear offending Zhen Yuanzi and would pretend to overlook it, allowing Zhen Yuanzi to make his move.

When it comes to connections, Zhen Yuanzi’s are far greater than Kunpeng Ancestor’s. The title of the Progenitor of Earth Immortals isn’t just for show.

It wouldn’t be so frightening if only Zhen Yuanzi made a move. The real fear was if the Jade Emperor also took action. What if the Jade Emperor, in a moment of recklessness, teamed up with Zhen Yuanzi against him? That would put him in danger.

Plus, there was Jiang Chen, always eager to stir up trouble while watching from the sidelines. Although Jiang Chen wasn’t very powerful, he could borrow the Innate Treasure, Heaven and Earth Cauldron.

Two Great Divine Transcendents, along with the Innate Treasure Heaven and Earth Cauldron—if Kunpeng Ancestor left the Northern Netherworld, he feared he might never return.

"Jiang Chen, let go at once; if you don’t release me now, I shall show no courtesy," Kunpeng Ancestor exerted his strength, his sleeves vibrating with countless runes swirling around, transforming in an instant into hundreds of Divine Abilities that bombarded Jiang Chen’s arm, intending to force him off.

But Jiang Chen was just as unwavering, channeling his utmost strength, focusing all his power into one point, and firmly gripping onto Kunpeng Ancestor’s sleeve to prevent him from breaking free.

"Hmm?"

The moment the two forces collided, both Jiang Chen and Kunpeng Ancestor’s expressions changed. What differed was that Jiang Chen’s face revealed delight, while Kunpeng’s expression drastically worsened, becoming extremely unsightly.

Because when their Divine Abilities clashed, Jiang Chen gained the upper hand, an outcome that should have been impossible. With Jiang Chen’s current level of strength, how could he possibly be a match for Kunpeng Ancestor?

Yet, this absurd incident actually occurred; Jiang Chen was fully suppressing Kunpeng Ancestor.

Clearly, someone had covertly made a move to aid Jiang Chen in subduing Kunpeng Ancestor; otherwise, he would have already been repelled by Kunpeng Ancestor.

"Haha, Ancestor, this is the Heavenly Will!"

"It seems you have no choice but to accompany me on a trip to Heaven today."

With a loud laugh, Jiang Chen tightened his grip, parting the void with his hand, ready to pull Kunpeng Ancestor towards it, daring to head for Heaven Court.

Jiang Chen’s original intention was just to intimidate Kunpeng Ancestor; he hadn’t actually planned on taking him to Heaven Court, as he didn’t possess the ability to do so.

But he didn’t expect Kunpeng Ancestor’s popularity to be so poor that he could be plotted against in his own home. Given that, what hesitation could Jiang Chen have? Pulling Kunpeng, he was set on leaving the Northern Netherworld.
