The Great Ruler

Chapter 1298 - Dong Shan

Wen Qingxuan’s face was pale as she looked up ahead. Several silhouettes were standing before her with their eyes folded as they looked down at Wen Qingxuan’s party.

That one leading was a robust man, and despite his ordinary looks, there was a scar across his face that made him look sinister. His body was also emanating an ominous aura that made him look like an Asura.

Furthermore, the vague emanating fluctuation meant that there must be a Perfected Earth Sovereign amongst them!

“Friends of the Wen Clan, harmony is important outside, so why not give us this favor?” The man looked at Wen Qingxuan’s team with a smile as he continued, “I, Dong Shan, am not trying to snatch your information. We’re only trying to cooperate with you, and with the big clans joining up together, wouldn’t getting the legacy be easy for us?”

Wen Qingxuan looked angry. The team that obstructed them was an alliance of Demon Slayers, with the leading one named Dong Shan.

This was not only a Perfected Earth Sovereign, but also a Middle Rank Demon Slayer. Most important, the Demon Slayer Points that this fellow had wasn’t far away from the High Rank Demon Slayers.

This was truly intimidating, since everyone knew how hard it was to gather so many Demon Slayer Points.

Actually, that fellow already knew that they possessed information about a Heavenly Sovereign’s legacy back in the Sacred Abyss City, but they were rejected when they proposed a partnership. It was also because they were afraid of the Heavenly Sovereign of the Wen Clan, so they did not dare to do anything. However, who could have expected that they would meet in the Primordial Sacred Abyss...?

“Hmph, partnership? I’m afraid it’s keeping a wolf with us.” Wen Qingxuan’s face was cold. None of Dong Shan’s party seemed friendly. Working together with them was the same as scheming to obtain the skin of a living tiger.

“Furthermore...” Wen Qingxuan’s speech changed and her voice suddenly turned cold. “Isn’t it a little too much of a coincidence that you know about our information before we entered the Primordial Sacred Abyss, and even encountered us in the Primordial Sacred Abyss?”

“If not?” Dong Shan narrowed his eyes with a smile.

Wen Qingxuan coldly replied, “The Wu Clan of the North also knows that we possess this information, and they have also sent a team into the Primordial Sacred Abyss. So... our information and trace should be provided to you by the Wu Clan, right?”

“The Wu Clan?!” Wen Ziyu and the rest changed their expressions with rage on their faces. If that’s the case, then the Wu Clan was simply too shameless. To solely enjoy the Heavenly Sovereign legacy, they even sold the information to these Demon Slayers!

“Therefore, you greedy wolves might have already conspired with the Wu Clan. If we work together with you guys, you guys might stab us in the back. We don’t have the fortune to enjoy this fort of companions.” Wen Qingxuan replied coldly.

Dong Shan’s gaze flickered before he shook his head with a smile. “You guys have already misunderstood. We have no connection with the Wu Clan.”

Wen Qingxuan narrowed her eyes and said, “Regardless if there’s a misunderstanding, we do not intend to work together with you guys, so there’s no need to discuss this any further.”

An ominous light flashed in Dong Shan’s eyes after hearing Wen Qingxuan’s rejection and smiled. “Since Miss Wen has already said it, then it’s a little too much. When we’re outside, isn’t another friend better than having another enemy?”

As he spoke, eight silhouettes behind him took a step forth with ominous gazes and they fixated on Wen Qingxuan’s party.

“What about it? You guys are planning to become enemies of my Wen Clan?” Wen Qingxuan’s expression turned cold as she spoke out.

“Although we cannot afford to offend the Wen Clan, you don’t have any Heavenly Sovereigns here, right?” Dong Shan faintly smiled.

Wen Qingxuan’s team only had a total of six. Although they might look powerful, Wen Ziyu was only a Quasi-Perfected Earth Sovereign, and the rest were only Greater Earth Sovereigns. Even Wen Qingxuan was only a Lesser Earth Sovereign.

Dong Shan’s party could afford to swallow up this entire formation.

“So I hope that Miss Wen could reconsider our proposal...” As Dong Shan smiled, several ominous figures slowly spread out, forming into a semi-circle as they moved towards Wen Qingxuan’s party.

“We already have a team to cooperate with, stop dreaming!” Seeing their formation, Wen Qingxuan maintained a cold expression without any fear.

“Oh?” Dong Shan’s eyelid raised as he smiled. “There’s nothing to cooperate with low-grade teams. If Miss Wen is willing to let us replace them, then it’s a win-win for both of us.”

Wen Qingxuan did not speak, but nodded her head towards Wen Ziyu and the rest before slightly nodding her head. A killing aura flashed in his eyes. There’s no longer something to say in this situation, there’s only a battle that remained.

Wen Ziyu slowly nodded his head and a massive Spiritual Energy fluctuation swept out in a gale that slowly gathered in his body.

“Heh, looks like you guys are unwilling to accept our goodwill.” Narrowing his eyes, Dong Shan’s face turned savage. He took a step forth, and the powerful aura of a Perfected Earth Sovereign burst out, causing this entire region to start trembling.

“Since you guys refuse our goodwill, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Dong Shan raised his hand with a sinister smile. “Get rid of them!”

The few figures that have been eyeing burst out.

“Go!” Wen Qingxuan roared and formed seals with Spiritual Energy gushing out.

“Haha, these people are pretty shameless. Since others are unwilling to work with you, why bother them?” But before a fight broke out, a burst of laughter suddenly resounded.

The two sides abruptly came to a stop and Dong Shan’s face changed before he roared, “Who is it?!”

“The low-graded team that you spoke of!” A burst of laughter resounded and several figures flew out, appearing in the valley.

The four people were naturally Mu Chen’s team of four.

“Mu Chen? Luo Li!” When Wen Qingxuan saw those four, she was briefly stunned before joy flashed on her face.

“Hmph, where did these four trashes come from? Get lost!”

The two Demon Slayers that were the closest to Mu Chen’s team roared and launched attacks towards them.

The two of them were Greater Earth Sovereigns, and with the two of them joining hands together, they could kill Mu Chen swiftly to intimidate the rest.

“Two pieces of trash, you dare to make a move against our Young Master?!” When they wanted to make a move, Long Xiang appeared before them and threw to jab forth. Instantly, the roar of a Dragon-Elephant resonated out as it clashed with the two Greater Earth Sovereigns.

The two Greater Earth Sovereigns drastically changed their faces before their faces turned red and they spat mouthfuls of blood out. The terrifying force had destroyed even their arms.

Their bodies flew out and drew a long mark on the ground.

“Outrageous!” Seeing his two underlings being heavily injured, Dong Shan’s eyes turned cold before he threw a palm forth. Instantly, a majestic Spiritual Energy gushed out like a volcano. action

“Mountain God Palm!” Dong Shan’s move had demonstrated the might of a Perfected Earth Sovereign. That palm could even crush mountains and the entire valley started to cover in cracks.

When the palm flew over, Ling Xi raised her hand and spiritual light flashed before forming into a massive Spiritual Array.

The Spiritual Array acted like a shield and blocked the palm, it wouldn’t budge.

“High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar?!” Dong Shan narrowed his eyes. One must be a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar to be able to block his move so easily!

Facing a High Rank Spiritual Array Scholar, even Dong Shan felt fearful.

His gaze flickered as he looked at the teams hiding in the surroundings. If they joined forces right now, they might not be weaker than the other party.

“Are you looking for your companions? Don’t bother; we have already dealt with them.” When Dong Shan was trying to summon those companions over, Mu Chen lightly smiled.

When he saw that Wen Qingxuan’s party was in trouble, they had hidden and got rid of those fellows hiding in secret.

When Dong Shan heard him, his face was dark as he looked at Mu Chen with an ominous light flashing in his eyes. “I never expected that I, Dong Shan, would have a day when I suffer losses. Good, I’ll remember this, but rest assured. I will pin the debt of my companions on you. The next time I see you, I will cut your head off and make it a sacrificial wine pot for them!”

Before Mu Chen could reply, Dong Shan had already waved his sleeve and he retreated without any hesitation.

His companions swiftly followed up, and in just ten-odd breaths, their silhouettes had already disappeared.

When Mu Chen saw how Dong Shan left without any hesitation, he was also somewhat stunned before the spiritual seals that had been flickering in his sleeve disappeared.

If Dong Shan stayed for a while longer, he would be able to get his Spiritual Array ready. At that time, those fellows could only dream of leaving.

But naturally, he had underestimated Dong Shan’s cautiousness. That fellow must have sensed something was amiss, which was why he retreated without hesitation.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at the departure of Dong Shan’s party before muttering to himself, “What a decisive fellow... Next time, when we meet, I will definitely eliminate you...”
