Chapter 938: 699 blackmails Kunpeng, Beidou Nine Stars Banner_6

Although he knew he was being used, manipulated to scheme against Kunpeng through his own hands, Jiang Chen didn’t care. He liked this kind of manipulation because it was to his advantage.

"This..."

"Running into Jiang Chen, Kunpeng really has terrible luck for eight generations."

The situation in the Northern Netherworld was immediately perceived by other Great Divine Transcendents, and then, everyone cast their gazes over, waiting for the Kunpeng ancestor to break the deadlock.

As for offering help, everyone was just there for the show, with no intention of getting involved personally.

The Kunpeng ancestor felt helpless and extremely wronged. With the strength of the person behind the scenes, who was on par with him, he wouldn’t have feared a real fight.

But now, he was unable to fully engage the enemy. Jiang Chen’s strength was somewhat beyond his imagination, forcing the Kunpeng ancestor to allocate some of his attention to cope with Jiang Chen.

Otherwise, even if he repelled the attacker in the shadows, he would be drawn out of the Northern Netherworld by Jiang Chen. At that time, he would be in danger.

However, because he had to allot part of his energy to contend with Jiang Chen, the Kunpeng ancestor temporarily couldn’t suppress the person attacking from the darkness and inadvertently fell into a passive situation.

Being attacked from both sides and humiliated by the youthful Jiang Chen, how bitter the Kunpeng ancestor felt inside!

The Kunpeng ancestor was bitter indeed, but at this moment, there was someone in the heavens who felt even more bitter than he did—the Jade Emperor, who was still bewildered. This was clearly a matter between the Human Race and the Ancient demon clan, so how did it get tied up with him?

Good heavens, if Kunpeng really was pulled into Heaven Court by Jiang Chen, should he intervene or stay out of it?

If he intervened, even if he could defeat Kunpeng, Heaven Court would suffer great losses. Most importantly, if he took action, wouldn’t that mean Jiang Chen was using him? Being forced into the conflict between humans and demons, he would have to take the side of the Human Race.

This was not what the Jade Emperor wanted to see.

But if he didn’t intervene, wouldn’t that validate the Kunpeng ancestor’s words? The blow to his prestige would undoubtedly be huge, and it’s likely that after this incident spread, his reign as the Jade Emperor would be effectively over.

Some things can be said and done, but he couldn’t admit to them. Once admitted, the nature of the matter would change completely.

So, not taking action was also not an option.

"Damn it, these two bastards!"

"If you two want to fight, just do it. Why drag me into this?"

In the heavens, the Jade Emperor felt so frustrated he wanted to spit blood, cursing both the tactless Kunpeng ancestor and the audacious Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was clearly plotting to use him as a tool to eliminate the Kunpeng ancestor.

The intention was too obvious, no, it was utterly unmasked, almost as if pointing at the Jade Emperor’s nose, telling him that he intended to use him to slay the Kunpeng ancestor.

"Bastards! Jiang Chen is a bastard, and Kunpeng is even more of a bastard. Knowing fully well that the brat has a mean mouth, you still couldn’t restrain yourself in front of him. You have only yourself to blame for this loss; it serves you right!"

Angered, he threw aside the Liuli cup in his hand, the Jade Emperor swore without any grace.

"Kunpeng, if you step out of the Northern Netherworld today, it can only mean that heaven has abandoned you. Don’t blame me!"

After weighing his options for a long time, the Jade Emperor finally made up his mind. If Kunpeng didn’t leave the Northern Netherworld, it was still fine. But if he really did, then he must not blame the Emperor for dealing a fatal blow.

Although he didn’t care about the throne of the Jade Emperor, he hadn’t yet broken through to the realm of a Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial. The throne was still of use to him and wasn’t something he could give up lightly.

Compared to the throne of the Jade Emperor, Kunpeng’s life truly was insignificant.

...

"Open for me!"

On Kunpeng’s sleeves, the mighty force of Innate feng shui unraveled into a deep vortex, emitting an aura of devouring everything in its path, attempting to engulf Jiang Chen.

This was the way of the Ruined Land of the Northern Netherworld!

"Ancestor, you taught me that misfortunes come from the mouth, so how come you don’t understand it? The words have been spoken; there’s no turning back. Today, you must follow me to the heavens for a visit."

Jiang Chen had a smile on his lips, his hands similarly manifesting a vortex filled with Chaos Qi that seemed capable of obliterating all laws and dissolving all things, colliding fiercely with the powers of the Ruined Land.

At the same time, an unidentified force emerged, affecting the vortex of the Northern Netherworld, significantly reducing its power and rendering it unable to threaten Jiang Chen.

"The power of the Ruined Land is indeed mysterious."

"It seems that, after this incident, I really should make a trip to the Ruined Land."

From his encounter with Kunpeng, Jiang Chen had gleaned some of the Ruined Land’s mysteries. He felt a connection to this place and it might aid him, making it worth visiting.

"Ancestor, we have come to assist you."

From within the Demon Clan’s Palace, several powerful auras rose, and as many as eight beings who had completed the level of Taoist Master stepped out, their momentum fierce as they charged towards Jiang Chen.

"How dare you!"

"I am the Human King. If you dare come closer, see if I dare to exterminate your entire clan!"

Jiang Chen scoffed coldly. He might not be able to handle the Kunpeng ancestor, but could he not deal with a few demon gods?

The eight Taoist Masters paused briefly upon hearing this, but then their eyes hardened with resolve once more, and they looked ready to advance. However, at that moment, the Kunpeng ancestor suddenly spoke: "You all, retreat quickly. This is a matter between me and Jiang Chen. Do not intervene."

Knowing that Jiang Chen was not bluffing, the Kunpeng ancestor quickly sent his followers away. Their intervention would not only be unhelpful but might also provoke Jiang Chen, who could easily call for help from the Human Race’s warriors.

At that point, a tribe’s extinction would not be a joke.

"Young friend Jiang Chen, let us end this matter here. Let the Kunpeng ancestor apologize to you, and let’s consider this matter settled. What do you say?"
