Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3301: Expansion

“The Peace region is changing…” The Sword Emperor let out a great sigh and said, “Little Rou, you should go. Forget about avenging the White Emperor. Your priority right now is to protect yourself and live on.”

“You can’t stay in the Peace region anymore. Here me out. Leave the Peace region and go to the Jade Centre domain. Try everything you can to become the Jade Sky Ruler’s disciple.”

“Your talent is far too great. You’ve already become an expert on the Heavenly Rankings at such a young age, such that you’re undefeatable amongst others at the same cultivation. If you continue to grow, it’s extremely likely for you to become on par with heavenly kings in the future.”

“As a result, someone will be worried that you’ll come for revenge in the future, so they’ll never give you the room to grow. They’ll completely nip you in the bud while you’re still weak.”

“Don’t depend on the Mayhemless Heavenly King either. He won’t interfere. The only way for you to avoid this crisis is to go to the Jade Centre domain and become the Jade Sky Ruler’s disciple.”

……

…

The death of the Magic Emperor spread through the Peace region rapidly, immediately leading to a great uproar.

The Magic Emperor ranked second among the nine emperors. His death led to a disturbance even greater than the White Emperor’s.

After all, the White Emperor had been heavily injured for many years. During this time, countless rumours had spread through the Peace region, saying that the White Emperor would not be able to last much longer.

In the end, White Emperor city said that the White Emperor died by Bai Yurou’s hand. As a result, the Peace region was surprised by his death, but it also made sense.

However, it was a different situation with the Magic Emperor. The Magic Emperor had been slain by the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King while at peak condition.

The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King did not intentionally hide anything. He directly engaged the Magic Emperor above Magic Emperor city. The fierce shockwaves of the battle destroyed a good part of the city, leading to tremendous losses.

Such a great disturbance obviously spread through the entire Peace region like a wildfire.

The Magic Emperor’s death was only the first storm to be raised in the Peace region. A second storm followed shortly.

The Xia Merchant Union suddenly launched an attack at the merchant unions under the Xiong and Zhan family’s control with lightning speed, swallowing their businesses and properties rapidly.

In a short while, the Xia Merchant Union had swallowed a third of the Xiong and Zhan family’s businesses.

On top of that, the Xia Merchant Union continued to seize the two merchant unions’ remaining businesses, moving like a grassfire. They were extremely fast.

The Xiong family and Zhan family did resist, but all of their efforts were futile before the leader of the Xia Merchant Union, Xia Jianming.

Afterwards, the deaths of the ancestors of the Zhan family and the Xiong family also spread like wildfire, immediately pushing the Xia Merchant Union to an entirely new height. Google seaʀᴄh ɴoᴠel ꜰɪre.nᴇt

For a moment, the attention that the Xia Merchant Union received in the Peace region was only second to the Magic Emperor’s.

“The Xia Merchant Union is actually bold enough to swallow the two other merchant unions. They sure are brave.”

“The Magic Emperor has only just died, having been mercilessly slain by a heavenly king, and the Xia Merchant Union has stirred up such a great disturbance too. Looks like the Xia Merchant Union also has someone impressive behind them.”

“The Peace region is changing!”

For a moment, many discussions arose in the Peace region. Some people celebrated, while others lamented. So many major events had occurred in such a short period, which made many people sense something.

The Xia Merchant Union unified the entire commercial side of the Peace region very successfully. Xia Jianming took action personally, so he obviously cleaned up the remaining forces of the Zhan family and Xiong family skillfully. He roped in whoever he could rope in and incorporated anyone he could incorporate into his own ranks. As for the stubborn ones, he killed them mercilessly.

Immediately, the influence of the Zhan family and Xiong family declined. The Xia Merchant Union strengthened at an unbelievable rate.

All of the imperial cities and the organisations with Primordial realm experts were watching. They were tempted by the Xiong family and Zhan family’s businesses, but none of them dared to do anything at a time like this.

The White Emperor had perished first; then the Magic Emperor who ranked second among the nine emperors had been slain. In a short few days, the Peace region lost two emperors. Many people caught the scent of a storm.

Meanwhile, the Xia Merchant Union was actually bold enough to strike at a time like this and act without any qualms at all, so they clearly had something they could depend on.

With the rapid expansion of the Xia Merchant Union, the Lifesoul Flowers they obtained grew in numbers. All of the Lifesoul Flowers were delivered to Jian Chen as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the Xia Merchant Union used the wealth they had swallowed from the Xiong family and Zhan family to carry out a large-scale buyout of Lifesoul Flowers in the entire Peace region.

And because of Jian Chen’s desperate need for Lifesoul Flowers, Xia Jianming tried to purchase as many Lifesoul Flowers as possible in the shortest amount of time, so he offered a price at least two or three times more than usual.

The price offered by the Xia Merchant Union was far too high. Many cultivators who possessed Lifesoul Flowers but were reluctant to sell them still decided to sell them to the Xia Merchant Union after some deliberation.

There were even cultivators that managed to purchase Lifesoul Flowers for regular prices through secret avenues outside the Peace region before unloading them all to the Xia Merchant Union at a higher price.

The Xia Merchant Union turned down no one. Regardless of how many and regardless of their quality, they purchased all of the Lifesoul Flowers they could get their hands on.

Immediately, a fever for selling Lifesoul Flowers swept through the entire Peace region.

However, the Xia Merchant Union’s strange actions also led to the curiosity of many organisations in the Peace region.

“That’s strange. Why does the Xia Merchant Union need so many Lifesoul Flowers? Don’t tell me there’s some other secret function to Lifesoul Flowers?”

“Pass down the order that the clan is forbidden from selling any Lifesoul Flowers. At the same time, immediately send people to investigate why the Xia Merchant Union wants so many of them.”

“If it’s just for the sake of recovery, then it makes sense if they purchase high quality Lifesoul Flowers, but they’ll even purchase low quality ones too without limit. That’s rather puzzling.”

The imperial cities and the organisations with Primordial realm experts in the Peace regions all wondered about the reason behind this. Some of the organisations even became suspicious and began to follow their behaviour, also collecting some Lifesoul Flowers from the outside world.

At the same time, in Life Emperor City of the nine imperial cities of the Peace region.

By now, the centre of Life Emperor City had already been reduced to ruins. There were dilapidated structures everywhere with corpses scattered on the ground. Blood pooled and flowed freely.

This was the Life Emperor clan in charge of Life Emperor City, but at this moment, not a single person from the clan had been spared. The Life Emperor dressed in fancy clothes collapsed in a pool of blood. There was a clear hole through his forehead, clearly having been slain already.

A figure hovered above the Life Emperor clan coldly.

He resembled a middle-aged man, dressed in green clothes with a crown on his head. He gave off the hefty presence of a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime.

He was one of the nine heavenly kings, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King.

Suddenly, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King furrowed his brows. Cold light flashed through his eyes as he said gruffly, “The Xia Merchant Union has actually swallowed the Xiong family and Zhan family’s businesses, and the ancestors of the Zhan family and the Xiong family have both perished?”

“The Xiong family and Zhan family are both organisations that have already declared their loyalty to me. I was even waiting for the Xiong family and Zhan family to swallow the Xia Merchant Union. I had never thought that the Xia Merchant Union would instead swallow them while I was dealing with the nine imperial cities.”

The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King thought about it. “Just the Xia Merchant Union alone definitely does not possess the ability to do something like that. The Xia Merchant Union definitely has an expert behind them.”

“Basically all of the Infinite Primes in the Peace region have caught wind of what’s going on. Don’t tell me it’s someone belonging to the Heaven Fighting Ruler or the Jade Sky Ruler, seeing how they’re bold enough to do something like this?”

“No, if they belong to the Heaven Fighting Ruler or the Jade Sky Ruler, there’s no reason for them to act secretively. They would have exposed themselves a long time ago.” The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King suddenly recalled the power of the Way of the Sword that appeared in White Emperor city. His gaze immediately deepened. “Or is it that unknown expert of the Laws of the Sword?”

After a moment of thought, the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King said, “But my priority right now is to place the entire Peace region under my control before the people from the Jade Sky Ruler and the Heaven Fighting Ruler notice what is going on. The people belonging to the Blood Slaughter Ruler are doing everything they can to lock down the news, but I still can’t take too much time.”
