Chapter 939: 699 blackmails Kunpeng, Beidou Nine Stars Banner_7

A Great Divine Transcendent spoke up, trying to smooth things over.

After watching for a while, everyone had realized that if they continued to be at an impasse like this, even a hundred years might not yield any result. To continue any further would be nothing but a loss of face.

It wouldn’t matter much if they lost face, but both parties were key figures of the Mystic Sect. If this farce went on, it wouldn’t just be their own reputation at stake, but also the dignity of the Mystic Sect, and that was something the crowd could not tolerate.

"No, this cannot be. This old man is pushing his seniority too far and even dares to show disrespect to the Taoist Ancestors. As an enforcer of the Mystic Sect, how can I sit idly by and ignore this? Today, there must be an explanation."

"If we can’t get an explanation, I, Yu Dou, would rather self-destruct along with him than let this traitor to our masters and ancestors remain in this world. Today, I swear to defend the honor of the Mystic Sect to the death."

Jiang Chen roared righteously, his voice booming far and wide.

Stirring up a big commotion? This was something Jiang Chen was particularly good at!

When Jiang Chen uttered these words, the faces of all the Great Divine Transcendents present changed, and they were left speechless to the extreme. Such a trivial matter, and yet, he managed to escalate it to such an extent; his ability was quite unparalleled.

Now that it had involved disrespect to the Taoist Ancestors, these Great Divine Transcendents naturally did not dare to say anything further to persuade, lest they get implicated themselves.

Disrespecting one’s own masters and ancestors! Oh!

Jiang Chen had even used that term. If they attempted to persuade him now, who knew if Jiang Chen would turn his madness on them and lay the same accusation at their feet?

After all, misfortune often comes from the mouth.

It is hoped that after this incident, Brother Kunpeng will remember this lesson well.

"Jiang Chen, don’t you push things too far. What exactly will it take for you to let this matter rest?"

The Kunpeng ancestor was almost driven mad with anger. He hadn’t expected that in a moment of carelessness, Jiang Chen would latch onto his words and relentlessly pursue the matter.

In just a short while, Jiang Chen had portrayed him as a despicable betrayer of his teachers and ancestors, effectively shutting up anyone who might have wanted to break up the fight. The Kunpeng ancestor dared not even think of what astonishing things Jiang Chen might say next.

"Haha, Ancestor Kunpeng, don’t you find it curious that after making such a scene, the Jade Emperor still hasn’t reacted at all? Is it possible he doesn’t even know about this matter?"

"What do you think would happen if, at this moment, I suddenly called out loudly and summoned the Jade Emperor here?"

Jiang Chen, with no intention of letting the matter go, continued to say with a smile to the Kunpeng ancestor.

"You’ve gone mad!"

"If you call out and summon the Jade Emperor, although he might fight desperately against me, your fate wouldn’t be much better. You would have offended him to his core, and he would surely not let you off."

The Kunpeng ancestor’s face turned pale upon hearing this. Jiang Chen was out of his mind; if he really did shout out and expose the matter, the Jade Emperor would be left with no room for maneuver. Unless the Jade Emperor was willing to give up his position, he would be forced to act.

Of course, Jiang Chen’s tactic was purely a case of killing a thousand enemies and harming himself eight hundred. A Jade Emperor with no way out would indeed fight desperately against the Kunpeng ancestor, but what good end could there be for Jiang Chen, the man who plotted against the Jade Emperor?

"Heh, you dare to curse the Jade Emperor, but you don’t allow me to expose the matter?"

Jiang Chen sneered, completely unafraid. He genuinely did not fear offending the Jade Emperor, because not only was he vested with the mandate of Tiandi, but he also possessed the Emperor’s Sword. Once revealed, it would inevitably make him a thorn in the side of the Jade Emperor.

At present, should the opportunity arise to pit the Jade Emperor into a trap, he naturally wouldn’t mind. However, this was a last resort. The main reason Jiang Chen spoke this way was to threaten Kunpeng; he was not yet ready to fall out completely with the Jade Emperor.

Jiang Chen could see that if the matter continued to be deadlocked, there would be no resolution, and it would only be a waste of time.

Since that was the case, he was starting to consider stepping back, but to simply back down was not something he could accept without regrets. That’s why he spoke threateningly to the Kunpeng ancestor, trying to gain some advantage from him.

"Young friend, know when to stop. You are still too weak. Even standing with me, we cannot do anything against Kunpeng. It’s better to take some benefits and let the matter rest. Wait until you’ve improved your cultivation, then join forces with me, and we’ll attack the Northern Netherworld together and kill this demonic Kunpeng."

Just then, a faint voice suddenly echoed in Jiang Chen’s mind.

"Hmm, thank you for the advice, senior. Jiang Chen already understands," Jiang Chen replied politely, knowing who the person who came to his aid was.

Having been at an impasse with Kunpeng for so long, Jiang Chen naturally guessed who the person who had secretly assisted him was – it was none other than the Kunpeng ancestor’s archenemy, the progenitor of the Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi.

Did they really think it was Jiang Chen’s sharp tongue that made those Great Divine Transcendents wary and reluctant to step forward and break up the fight? Wrong. It wasn’t Jiang Chen’s tongue that was formidable, but Zhen Yuanzi’s face that was significant enough. It was out of respect for him that they didn’t intervene in the matter.

As for the previous words, they were not meant for Jiang Chen but for Zhen Yuanzi, to tell him that continuing the fight would yield no results and would only be embarrassing.

The crowd hinted enough without further interference, leaving Zhen Yuanzi to decide how to proceed.

"Boy, what exactly do you want? Name your price, and I as an ancestor will try my best to satisfy you."

The Kunpeng ancestor, with no other choice and knowing that Jiang Chen was extorting him, could only decide to spend money to make peace.

"I’ve heard that the ancestor has many relics of the Ancient Demon Clan, and I find them very interesting. I’m not greedy; I don’t want any Innate Spiritual Treasures, just the Heavenly Star Banner in the ancestor’s possession."

Jiang Chen spoke, revealing his true purpose.
