Terran Guardian - Chapter 4143

Chapter 4118: The Fallen Emperor

“Master!”

“You’ve arrived.”

Shen Changqing nodded upon seeing the newcomer and then gestured for him to sit down.

The newcomer was none other

than Ji Yang.

The purpose of summoning Ji Yang was simple.

“I’ve heard you mention before that you were once the ruler of the Yan Yang Realm. Now, the Yan Yang Realm has joined forces with the Taiyi Immortal Sect to fight against the Chi Tian Realm.

The Jiang family intends for me to join forces with the Chi Tian Realm to deal with the Yan Yang Realm.

What are your thoughts on this?”

Shen Changqing looked at Ji Yang and asked in a deep voice.

This disciple was formerly the ruler of the Yan Yang Realm; to take action against the Yan Yang Realm, he naturally needed to ask for the other party’s opinion.

Agreeing to the Jiang family was one thing.

But if Ji Yang still had some connection with the Yan Yang Realm, then Shen Changqing had to consider that aspect.

It was still about taking action

, but how to do so was another matter entirely.

“Yan Yang Realm!”

Upon hearing these three words, a deep hatred surfaced in Ji Yang’s eyes, and an uncontrollable killing intent emanated from his body.

But quickly…

Ji Yang realized something and quickly suppressed his killing intent.

“This disciple has no connection with the Yan Yang Realm anymore. The past life is the past life. Although this disciple once received the Yan Yang Realm’s inheritance, I later seized many opportunities for it while ruling the Yan Yang Realm.

The debts of gratitude have been repaid. Whatever Master decides, this disciple has no objection!”

Seeing this,

Shen Changqing picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then put it down again.

“Was your fall related to the Yan Yang Realm?”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yang fell silent.

After a long while ,

he exhaled a breath of turbid air, shook his head with a bitter smile, “It’s just that this disciple misjudged people. I cultivated diligently for countless years, yet I still couldn’t see through the wolf’s ambition…”

At this moment, Ji Yang seemed to have opened a floodgate, recounting everything from the past.

Listening to what the other party said, Shen Changqing understood.

This was a rather clichéd story.

In his previous life, Ji Yang was the Blazing Sun Dao Venerable of the Blazing Sun Realm. Later, he competed with other powerful figures for opportunities, and although he eventually managed to obtain a supreme treasure, he was severely injured.

Then,

his personal disciple and Daoist partner launched a sneak attack, plotting to seize the supreme treasure and the position of the Blazing Sun Realm’s ruler.

After Ji Yang finished speaking, Shen Changqing asked, “What’s your disciple’s name?”

“His name is Ruoxu. He was already a Supreme in ancient times. However, it’s not easy for a Supreme to ascend to the Dao Venerable realm.

But his talent is exceptional. After so many years, even if he hasn’t broken through to the Dao Venerable realm, he’s probably not far off.”

Ji Yang shook his head and said in a deep voice.

If he hadn’t been severely injured back then, how could a Supreme have succeeded in a sneak attack?

And for him now, a Supreme is naturally difficult to contend with.

However,

none of this matters to Ji Yang.

Once he cultivates back to his peak as in his previous life, he will naturally settle old scores.

“This disciple was fortunate enough to receive the Six-Leaf Netherworld Grass bestowed by Master, which has mended the deficiencies in my soul’s reincarnation. I will settle accounts with that traitorous disciple and that vile woman later.

As for the Yan Yang Realm, Master ,

please feel free to act. However, the Yan Yang Realm is not weak, and I do not know how much strength they have retained over the years.

If you decide to take action, Master, please be careful!”

Ji Yang concluded.

“I will remember this matter!”

Shen Changqing nodded, and then Ji Yang rose to take his leave.

After the other party left, Shen Changqing shook his head slightly.

“Ruo Xu…”

The name surfaced in his mind, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

Ji Yang said he would settle this matter himself, so naturally he would not interfere. Besides, a powerhouse of that level was not someone he could currently handle.

However, now that he was facing the Yan Yang Realm, Shen Changqing naturally had to be more careful with their powerhouses. It was just a pity that Ji Yang had been reincarnated for too long. The events of ancient times are separated from the present by hundreds of millions of years. In the vast expanse of time, the Yan Yang Realm couldn’t possibly remain completely unchanged. “However… the Yan Yang Realm is quite powerful, and the Chi Tian Realm is no simple matter either. With the two major forces at war, the Seven Profound Dao Sect doesn’t need to deal with those top experts. Just avoiding some of them will be enough.” Shen Changqing understood this, and his heart calmed down. He looked at the token left by Jiang Beitian, then went into seclusion again. Although he had already promised the Jiang family, Shen Changqing wasn’t about to rush to help the Chi Tian Realm. Taking action, actively contacting the Chi Tian Realm, and passively waiting for their message are two different things. Therefore, Shen Changqing wasn’t in a hurry. He could also use this time to further comprehend the Taiwei Yin-Yang Array Diagram and see if he could find an opportunity for further advancement. … “Ruo Xu!” “Empress Yan—” Inside a celestial palace, Ji Yang’s face was ashen, and the killing intent in his eyes almost materialized. Previously, he hadn’t made up for the damage from his reincarnation, and his memories of his past life were fragmented, so this hatred wasn’t as intense. But now, Ji Yang wished he could directly storm into the Blazing Sun Realm and grind both of them to ashes. However, he ultimately suppressed this impulse. The reason was simple: he wasn’t the Blazing Sun Dao Venerable of his past life, but merely a cultivator who hadn’t even reached the level of a half-saint. If he were to truly face the two of them, Ji Yang naturally had no confidence in contending with them. Right now, he…

He still needed to be patient.

However, if he could make a move against the Yan Yang Realm and collect some interest first, Ji Yang thought it would be a good idea.

“I’m afraid those wicked creatures never expected that I’m still alive!”

Ji Yang muttered to himself, a murderous intent appearing in his eyes, but he gradually suppressed it until it disappeared completely.

The betrayal of those two was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

It was impossible for there not to be others behind it.

As an ancient and powerful force, its foundation was not to be underestimated, and there were many old and immortal beings who dreamed of overthrowing his rule and taking control of the entire Yan Yang Realm.

In Ji Yang’s view, during his heyday in his previous life, he was enough to suppress everything, and those old immortals would not dare to act rashly. It was only because he was seriously injured that they dared to show their faces.

However,

Ji Yang couldn’t be sure which old immortals were behind them.

There was no way around it.

He had offended too many cultivators back then.

Since taking control of the Yan Yang Realm, Ji Yang had forgotten how many beings he had suppressed in his previous life.

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, but he ultimately didn’t dwell on them.

Now wasn’t the time to think so much.

Since his master had inquired about the Yan Yang Realm and was preparing to attack it, Ji Yang saw it as an opportunity for reckoning.

With this in mind,

Ji Yang closed his eyes, silently regulating his breathing, and his heart returned to calm.

…

On the other side.

After leaving the Taiwei Realm, Jiang Beitian didn’t linger and headed straight for the Jidu Immortal Domain.

When he returned to the Jiang family, his first act was to visit Jiang Beice and truthfully report the events of the Taiwei Realm.

Among these

reports, Jiang Beitian didn’t conceal anything about Shen Changqing.

“It’s a pity that the Supreme Being of the Seven Profound Dao Sect couldn’t intervene; otherwise, we could have gained a great ally!”

Jiang Beice’s face showed regret.

When he learned that the Seven Profound Dao Sect had breached the Taiwei Realm, he had actually suspected that the reclusive Supreme Being of the Seven Profound Dao Sect had intervened.

If the other party had intervened, that would have been even better.

After all, if that supreme being were to intervene, there would be a chance to persuade them to assist the Jiang family.

Unfortunately,

the message Jiang Beitian brought back extinguished any remaining thoughts in Jiang Beice’s mind.

The reclusive Daoist of the Seven Profound Dao Sect truly couldn’t act rashly.

As a result ,

the Jiang family lost a top-tier ally.

However, while Jiang Beice felt some regret, he wasn’t too disappointed.

This outcome was within his expectations.

Subsequently, Jiang Beice suppressed his thoughts and said, “Since the Seven Profound Dao Sect is willing to intervene, it will alleviate the pressure on the Crimson Heaven Realm.

Immediately send a message to the Crimson Heaven Realm, instructing them to contact the Seven Profound Dao Sect.”

The Crimson Heaven Realm cannot afford any problems.

After all, the Crimson Heaven Realm is currently an ally of the Jiang family, and many of its top experts are on the battlefield in the Eastern Immortal Domain.

If the Crimson Heaven Realm itself encounters problems, its experts in the Eastern Immortal Domain might simply withdraw.

If that were to happen, it would be devastating news for the Jiang family.

Therefore…

Jiang Beice could not stand idly by and watch the Crimson Heaven Realm fall into trouble.

Fortunately,

most of the Crimson Heaven Realm’s experts were in the Eastern Immortal Domain, as was the Yan Yang Realm.

With both sides’ top combatants residing in the Eastern Immortal Domain, the struggle between the two forces was temporarily evenly matched.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the Crimson Heaven Realm could not afford to fall into trouble.

Currently, the Yan Yang Realm was at its peak, and it would not be easy for the Crimson Heaven Realm to suppress it. Having another Seven Profound Dao Sect would certainly increase their chances of victory.

In fact,

the forces currently supporting the Crimson Heaven Realm were not limited to just the Seven Profound Dao Sect. Jiang Beice had already ordered other forces to go and support the Crimson Heaven Realm ahead of time.

However, Jiang Beice could not concern himself with the specifics; everything was left to the Crimson Heaven Realm to handle.

Upon hearing this,

Jiang Beitian did not say anything more and immediately accepted the order and withdrew.

…

Half a month later.

While Shen Changqing was in seclusion, the communication token in his storage ring vibrated slightly, waking him from his state of enlightenment.

Subsequently…

Shen Changqing’s divine sense stirred, and a token appeared.

“The Crimson Heaven Realm!”

He looked at the token before him, his expression shifting slightly.

After half a month, the Crimson Heaven Realm had finally made a move.

Then,

Shen Changqing’s divine sense entered the token, and a message immediately surged forth. It took him

a long

time to fully digest this information.

“Emperor’s Fall Star!”

Shen Changqing murmured to himself.

The message from the Crimson Heaven Realm this time was to send the Seven Profound Dao Sect to a place called Emperor’s Fall Star to suppress the powerful figures of the Flaming Sun Realm.

As payment, the Crimson Heaven Realm offered one million top-grade immortal stones.

At the same time

, all information about Emperor’s Fall Star also arrived from the Crimson Heaven Realm.

In just a short while, Shen Changqing had gained sufficient understanding of the so-called Emperor’s Fall Star.
